The sounds of sword clash and the noise of children playing around woke Melissa up. She sat on the bed as her eyes searched around. She was in a new environment and the breeze here was welcoming and refreshing.
"Did you sleep well?" An old woman came in with the girl she left the dungeon with behind her.
"Yes but how did I get here?" Melissa innocently asked. The girl approached Melissa and sat beside her.
"You fainted..." The girl said shortly
"C'mom, eat your food. Your child must be hungry" The old woman said and Melissa's expression turned blank.
"You are pregnant. You have to eat your food" The girl smiled widely and Melissa's head turned left to right still digesting what the both of them were saying.
"Wait.... Who's pregnant?" Melissa asked almost laughing but her expression turned serious as she could see that the duo weren't joking.
"You are pregnant Sis." The girl shortly said.
"And you don't know about it?" The old woman added and Melissa turned numb and dumb. She looked at the two as they spoke to her with seriousness.
"I'm not pregnant....at least not now. No! Never! I can't be pregnant" Melissa blabbered as tears rolled down from her eyes.
"No! I'm not! Just tell me I'm not pregnant" Melissa shouted.
"Wait.....You don't know that you are pregnant?" The girl asked in surprise. Melissa didn't reply as her head was scattered. She remembered the priestess word when she was Williams. She can't have this child now! Not when she haven't brought her father and sister down.
"Please eat" The old woman said and left the two girls alone.
The girl took the food and placed a spoon of rice in the Melissa's mouth. Melissa chewed the food still looking deep into the girl's eyes.
"I know you are still shocked about your pregnancy but you always share anything with me. I will always listen to you"The girl smiled as she kept on feeding Melissa.
"You are being just so nice even when you don't know me well but I'm grateful. Thank you " She forced a smile even if being pregnant was a curse to her
"You can identify a good person by looking at the face. By the way, I'm Amy" Amy introduced herself.
"Nice name. I'm Melissa and don't just judge a book by its cover" Melissa drew her cheek. Amy dropped the empty plate on the table as she grinned towards Melissa.
"Okay Sis. Wanna see outside?" She asked and Melissa quickly nodded. They both left the room.
"Are you a knight?" Melissa asked
"No? but I'm am expert in swordfighting" She proudly said
"Ohh"
"Do you want to share your story with me and why i met you in the dungeon or wanna save it for another time." The girl asked
"I'm Princess Melissa from the W kingdom. My twin sis and Father hates me and they got my Mom killed. I went out of my Kingdom and when I returned my sis already took the throne. I fought with her and my Dad but my Dad locked me with a black magic and threw me in the dungeon." Melissa narrated
"Ahhh.... That's cruel and I'm sorry for being formal to you. I didn't know you are the Princess" Amy bowed and Melissa smirked.
"Stop being naughty now Amy. What's the use? We are friends. So, stop it" Melissa said softly.
"I've never had a chance to meet a princess but I'm glad I met you and helped. So, who's the father of your child?" Amy asked.
"It's a Vampire King. I wanted to save the story for another time, that's why I omitted it but seems you are curious to know" Melissa smirked.
"Yes, I want to be of help. How do you plan to make your sister and father pay for what they have done?"
"Being pregnant with this child will make things difficult for me and according to what the Vampire priestess said, she said that this child existence won't be good and nature will curse me" She explained.
"I don't understand"
"My child will be a threat for the Vampires and Witches and the nature will curse me for doing such an abominable act." Melissa smiled but the smiled were filled with sadness and worry.
"That's not good but nothing is impossible. The curse can be broken and bringing your child to this life is the only good thing I can see now. Your child will be a great ruler to the Vampires and Witches. He can help in any emergencies, so please.... don't do any harm to your child" Amy said in a low pitched voice. Melissa didn't respond as she looked deep into the clouds.
"How bout your Kingdom? How do plan to avenge them back?" Amy curiously asked.
"I'm glad you want me to avenge them. How bout you teach me how to fight first?" Melissa smirked and Amy nodded in agreement.

The Vampires priestess went into King Williams courtyard.
"What is it now? Don't bring me bad news because I'm not in the mood" Williams said lazily as kept on drinking his Liquor.
"Your sons..... Lincoln and Mattias are going to the capital today, won't you excort them?" The Priestess asked.
"Those brats aren't my son. Yes, I had sex with Zodah and Patricia to fill my sexual desire but those children aren't mine. They just want to implicate me." Williams said angrily.
"But you have no choice but to accept them because you are infertile. No woman can give birth for you. Perhaps a witch is an exception which is a total no." The Priestess said causing Williams to noisily hit his glass on the table.
"I've heard enough. Leave!" Williams vacantly said and the Priestess obeyed. She bowed and left.
