The rustling of leaves was heard in the forbidden forest. Williams and his two guard kept on walking in search of Melissa.
"There's a lifeless body here" Carl caught the attention of King Williams and Chris.
Williams and Chris walked toward him and saw a old woman on the ground.
"She's dead" Chris said.
"She's a witch....I guess" Carl said
"What the hell is she doing in the Forbidden forest alone?" Chris cursed.
"Let's go to the Witches Kingdom" Williams hoarse voice startled the two guys. The duo jaws dropped in sinc.
"Ehh.....No way! Your Majesty, The Vampires can't go into the witches Kingdom unless invited and you know that no one can invite danger into their home" Chris thoughtfully said. Williams gave Chris a hard glare and the guy bowed down.
Williams couldn't blame the guy for saying such. It was definitely a rule. Perhaps his relationship with Melissa had no meaning. Maybe there were never meant for each other and that's why she left him.
"Everyone is against us Melissa, and maybe that's why you left. At least you should have said goodbye to me instead of leaving without me knowing. I hate you Melissa. I hate you! It's painful you know, this is my first time to love and the love story is damn painful. I regret ever helping you in that forest, I regret ever loving. I hate you and I don't want to ever find you again!!!!!!" Williams roared out in anger. Chris and Carl knelt down in fear. William's leapt away.

"Williams? Mom? Priestess Elena? I'm sorry....I'm such a failure. I don't deserve you all in my life (sobs)" Melissa said tearily. Melissa's voice echoed in the silent dungeon. Melissa hugged her kneels as she sat on the dusty ground in the dungeon. Her hair poured down her face as she continued sobbing.
•••••••••
Unknowingly, three weeks passed by without Melissa knowing. She doesn't know if it was day or night. Melissa regretted even leaving Williams in his Kingdom, she regretted ever coming here to fight with with her sis and her father. She was never a match to them.
"I'm a failure.....I'm villain" Melissa kept on chanting to herself. Her skin had already turned pale, she doesn't have the look of the same Melissa everyone had knew. The surrounding had a great effect on her skin. All what she does was to cry all the time.
"Hey.....stop crying" A girl's voice echoed in Melissa's ear. Melissa's heart leaped into her lung. Melissa hastily stood on her feet as she looked at the direction where the footsteps where approaching from. The darker part of the dungeon, the girl's face became a little brighter and Melissa could see her face.
"This is a dungeon....are you a prisoner?" The girl asked and Melissa kept on blinking as she didn't know what to say.
"Wh....what are you doing here?" Melissa spoke and the girl stared at her for a long while before she spoke again.
"You really look bad and looks like you are starving. Follow me!" The girl turned back to the direction where she was coming from.
"Follow you? Where will I go with you?" Melissa asked like a lost kid
"I mean no harm sis....I was hunting for animals and I got into here. There's a way out from the other end. If you still want to stay here, it's okay but I can't leave with your condition. You look a talking dead human being.....sorry to say..." The girl smiled and Melissa's facial expression remained indispensable.
"You mean that you can take me out of this dungeon?" Melissa asked to confirm if her eardrums were still working. The girl laughed sarcastically.
"Yes Sis. I will take you to my Kingdom. It's far from here but I have a horse with me." She smiled brightly. Melissa returned the smiled as she went closer to her.
"Pls take me with you" Melissa said politely. Finally, she was leaving this place and she was going to avenge back. An opportunity just knocked at her door and she is willing to accept it.
"Okay.... Let's go" The girl held Melissa's hand and they went into the darkness.
The duo kept on moving as they both went deeper into the darkness. Light began to appear as they went deeper and suddenly they both found theirselves in a beautiful forest.
"What's this place?" Melissa smiled brightly as a horse approached them.
"It's a forest and I don't know the name but it surely is beautiful. I got attracted by the sight when I came here too" The girl said.
"Woah..." Melissa took a step to touch the leaves but she suddenly got dizzy and fell down unconscious.
"Hey..." The girl ran and carried her.
