Chapter 17 - Chapter 17 We're getting married

Rac flew to Dracula's mansion holding Amaranth carefully with its claws .

"Good job Rac " Dracula complimented and carried Amaranth to her room while Rac flew away .

Amaranth woke up to the familiar room and frowned .

"Ugh! after all my sufferings I still ended in this room"

"Whatever . Our marriage would be taking place in seven days, so start preparing yourself "...

"Joke of the year Lucifer "

"Call it whatever you want . I don't understand how your powers keep going berserk and the protection ring I gave you even got blasted Despite sealing your powers ,you were still able to chant a spell from the most powerful witches book in history and you broke your spell. What exactly are you Amaranth?" Dracula asked while massaging his forehead .

"Am your worst nightmare Lucifer"

"That's the joke . I don't dream, flower "

"Whatever , I just can't marry you .I'll be doomed for life .I hate you .I can't spend the rest of my life with a man I have no feelings for "

"tsk, unfortunately that's what you'll be doing .In seven days you'll become my wife . That's the only way to keep your powers under control, know what you're thinking , and easily track you when you run into danger. You don't know how hard it was for Rac to find you if not for the thunder that struck in the skies during the witches incantations by now who knows what would have happened to you "

"Lucifer , are you worried about me ?"

"Never . The only woman that I can worry about is no more and I don't wanna talk about it . We're getting married in seven days , deal with it " Dracula said and disappeared.

"Why me?! am just alone in this world , can't even contact my friends, know nothing about my family and now am stuck with a man I hate " Amaranth mumbled as tears rolled down her face . She continued crying till she fell asleep.

The witches appeared before Sango and Luther but none was ready to break the bad news to them .

"You all know am not a patient creature, where is the forbidden book and Amaranth?"

"We were about to capture her when Dracula's eagle emerged and took her . Prisca attempted taking the book b...bu.....but the eagle detached her head from her body ."

"In order words, seven witches couldn't capture a girl and a book " Sango muttered .

"My Lord, Rac was involved too . Rac loves feeding on witches , we're like preys before it "

"Find something you'll do about that eagle .You can't keep running away at the sight of it all the time " Sango said.

"So none of you could conjure a spell to take down one animal "Luther questioned and Sango lifted his face at the hearing of that while the witches became perplexed.

"My Lord it happened so fast we couldn't do a thing "

"You come back to me to tell me you couldn't do a thing , how brave of you " Sango said and blasted the witch with his powers while the witch shrieked in pain till she died .

"The rest of you , go back and find a solution to tackle the eagle" Sango ordered and they all disappeared from the room .

"So we just lost the two things that would have made us invincible in one night " Sango muttered and and punched his fist on the wall .

"Easy bro, we'll still get it " Sango smirked .

In a dark room , a young woman is seen facing the window and watching the scenery .

"How long do I have to wait before revealing myself to him , Vanessa" The woman asked .

"My Lady, you'll wait for at least a month " Vanessa replied .

"Alright , any news about him ?" She asked .

"The only information I was able to gather is that Amaranth tried escaping but was ambushed by the witches . They almost had her but Rac saved her "

"hmmmm, Amaranth" She smiled.

In Dracula's room.

"Loroo, is there no way of keeping her powers in check without getting married to her ?"

"No , my Lord. The marriage with her will create a bond that'll enable you to reach out to her when her powers start consuming her . It will also be easy to track her when she goes far from here "

"The wedding preparations should commence immediately. It'll also make those nasty creature to stay clear of what is mine " Dracula smirked .

In Sango's palace .

"My Lord a message just arrived from our spy " A messenger announced.

Sango collected the paper and his face turned horror when he read it .

"How dare you come here to deliver a news like this to me "Sango shouted, his eyes started turning red .

"Lord Sango , I have no idea what the content of the letter is "The messenger replied in a shaky voice .

"You also have no idea what's coming your way " Sango muttered and clawed the messenger's face .

The messenger fell and cried in pain . Sango stabbed him with his claws and pulled out his heart. The messenger laid lifeless on the floor .

"Dracula, you're messing with me . How dare you make plans of getting married to Amaranth . That day is bound to be bloody . A promise from your brother " Sango said and then the colour of the cloud turned dark and heavy rain began to fall .

Knock knock

Amaranth opened the door of her room and two maids came in .

"My Lady, we're here to take your body measurement "

"What for " Amaranth asked with a bored facial expression.

"Your wedding dress , my lady "

"Whatever. Get done with it already" She shrugged and they commenced with the measurements.

"We're done my lady " The maid smiled

"Then leave my room "

They left and she bolted the door as fresh tears rolled down her face .
