Chapter 26 - CHAPTER 25(Ruby's pov)

I woke up from sleep at night and the whole palace was silent but I felt the urge to drink blood so I left my room for the kitchen, I opened the fridge and took a sachet of blood which was mostly drank by vampires because there was a rule preventing them from drinking directly from humans the only time you can do that is if you don't have a sachet of blood at hand but still another vampire must not see you or else you'll be reported to the king and you'll be punished accordingly.

I quickly cut it and started returning back to my room when I saw something pass with the corner of my eye, I looked at where it went and decided to follow it because whatever passed where I was came from inside.

I came outside through the backdoor which was widely opened and saw uncle Logan walking towards the gate of the palace where a guard was standing,he walked up to him and I followed him sneakily hiding when necessary "I need to pass"uncle Logan said as I listened attentively from where I was which enabled me to both see and hear what he was saying "where to sir?"the guard asked "something important came up and I have to leave" he said "I can't let you leave without the king's order"the guard said "I am the king's brother whether you tell him or not he will let me leave"he said "I'm sorry but I have to do my work which is to protect this palace"the guard said and uncle Logan brought out a circular object which was kind of red in colour from his pocket and showed to the guard and immediately a shinning red light shone bright and the guard seemed to struggle to get himself to move and within few minutes he exploded and uncle Logan let out an evil laugh which meant today was the day he would start whatever evil he has been hiding after monitoring him for two months and not seeing anything to suspect "I'll show you who I am soon Alex"he said before opening the gate and going outside and I went after him, he went into the nearest forest and continued walking not even turning back for even a second.

He walked towards a person in the shadow and I quickly hid behind the nearest tree to where they were standing "how far with the monitoring?"the person in the shadow asked,it was a deep voice so I knew it was a man "I'm trying my best and they don't even suspect me except Fiona, that girl needs to be taught a lesson and I know how to handle her"he said "good hope there isn't anyone that looks threatening?"the voice asked"the lord's daughter ruby"he said "do you mean the hybrid?" the voice asked, how does this stranger know that? "yes"uncle Logan said "you have to keep a close watch on her, Jessica's work mustn't fail"the stranger said "what about my reward?"uncle Logan asked "come see Jessica whenever you are ready as for now we have another task for you, drop this letter in king Alexander's office"the voice said handing uncle Logan an envelope which he collected " what is this?"uncle Logan asked "you'll find out in the morning, I have to leave now" the voice said and the person left and I quickly used my quick speed to leave before he found out, I walked into my room and lay on the bed thinking about all I just heard trying to process everything, uncle Logan was working for some people and I don't know who they are but whoever they are,they are planning something really bad, uncle Logan had killed a guard with something which I don't understand but all I had to do was wait till morning.
