"Sango, the power of Amaranth has fully awakened " Luther said with a smile.
"I know "
"_______"
"You don't expect Dracula to leave her unprotected do you ? We don't even know where she is " Sango grunted .
"Sango , let us merge with the fawns. They have a special talent of sniffing out any source of magic . If Dracula has hidden Amaranth then , magic must be involved "
"Strike a deal with them , tell them that if they help us find Amaranth then , they would partake in have a taste of the power of this legendary flower "
"Sango , why would we let them partake in that ? , they would stand against us and want to rule over us in the future "
"No, they would partake if they stay alive the moment we've discovered Armaranth's location"
"Now that sounds like you brother "

In the fawns kingdom
"The powers of Amaranth has fully awakened " Says Diego, the right-hand man of the king of the fawns .
"I know that , we'll have to sniff out the location where the magic came from and capture her . The flower is ours "The king replied.
The door of the throne room opened and a messenger came in .
"Why are you here ?" The king asked gently .
"Lord Luther sent a message for you " He replied and gave him the paper .
The king opened the seal and after reading , his countenance changed . The change of mood were detected by the two brings in the room with him .
"You can leave and tell him , I'll send my reply in three days "The king said and the messenger left the room .
"What's wrong my king? "
"Luther wants an alliance with us to find the location of Amaranth and in return , they'll let us partake in the share of power "
"We don't need their alliance to find the flower , we can do it ourselves"
"Diego, this is Luther we're talking about . He doesn't give room for rejecting his offers . We can't reject it even if we want to because it must cost us "
"Then what do we do? accept it ? "
"Yes , they have the back up of the witches . "
"Luther isn't trust worthy . He'll stab us in the back "
"Exactly what am afraid of "
"We'll accept their offer, but then we'll take the necessary safety precautions. "
"Assemble the people and inform them "
"Yes my King" Diego bowed and exited the room .

Amaranth woke up with a slight headache . She recalled what happened when she mentioned about love to Dracula. Her eyes widened when she recalled the bleeding he caused her and she checked it but the injury was gone and there's no scar!. She tried recalling what happened afterwards but couldn't .
"He banned me from coming to his room. That bastard.Why will I go there anyway?" She murmured. She freshend herself and decided to take a stroll in the mansion . She got to a room , she's not seen before and stepped in to discover it was a library. "Finally! something to keep me company " She thought and started going through the books in the shelf .
No genre of book was missing in the library. She got very excited and picked one to read when another fell from the shelf . She picked it to return but curiosity overtook her and she opened it and some words she assumed were meaningless, or is this a language I've not heard of? She thought .
She read the first page of the book which talked about being calm and letting go of every worries .
"This is gonna be fun " She mumbled in excitement.
She memorized the words and closed her eyes . Letting go of her worries she began reciting the words she just learned and a gust of wind hit the trees in the surrounding . Unaware of what was happening, she recited another one and thunder shook in the sky . The clouds changed to a dark colour and the force of the wind increased.
Dracula was in his room when he noticed the change in the atmosphere. "This is no ordinary change in the atmosphere. Someone is chanting an incantation, influencing the atmosphere .Rac!" He called and an eagle flew towards him . "Who is making that incantation? I thought we already have the book in our custody , how did a witch get hold of it ? Go and stop whoever is doing this " He said and the eagle flew but instead of flying out of the mansion, it started going further into the mansion, and stopped at the library.
He opened the door and saw Amaranth murmuring the enchantment.
"Amaranth!" He called and she opened her eyes but frowned when she saw who called her .
"Lucifer , you banned me from visiting you . You kidnapped me and kept me in this mansion of boredom and now that I've found something a little exciting, you're here to disrupt it "
"Give me that book "
"Why Will I give you the book ?"
"Amaranth, just give me the book it's not something you can play with "
"Oh really, is my life a joke to you .You think I came here to play with a book ?"
"Am not here for unnecessary talks . I still don't understand how you're able to read that, or make the spell but I'll find out soon. I must say you're becoming an interesting object"
"Object" She murmured.
"Yeah , what else are you?"
"Nothing . I'll leave this place soon and go far away . Where nobody knows me , where I'll be able to forget that the people I grew up loving were not my real family but some creature I don't wanna know about . Where I'll find happiness, spend the rest of my life with a man who'll love me for who I am and not what he can gain from me. Lucifer in three days , I ,Amaranth would leave this mansion . It's a promise"
"Yeah , whatever just give me the book "
"That I won't do "
"I'll get it anyways . Rac get the book "He ordered and the eagle stepped towards her . She held the book firmly and hid it at her back ."If this book contains spells then am going to find one that'll take me away from here "She assured herself . She brought the book and threw it to Lucifer then left the library.
"Rac, find Loroo and tell him I need him in my room this instant ."

"My Lord , a spell from the forbidden book was cast today ."
"That book is in Dracula's custody . No one would have taken it without his notice "
"That is what surprises me my Lord. We don't know who had the guts to use a spell from the book under Dracula's watch "Lydia said
"It can't be the flower can it ?".Sango questioned.
"Nothing was said about the flower being able to use a spell like that in the scrolls"
"This is becoming interesting" Sango smirked .
