Dracula teleported to Clara's room and began to sniff it . His eyes widened when he saw a tiny scale on the floor .
Amaranth is in danger !
He teleported to his room and caught hold of iris .
"Tell me every thing you know about Clara "He ordered .
"I swore an oath to her . The moment I try speaking anything about her , I'll die" Iris said.
"You're of no use to me anyway , now speak !"He ordered and Iris opened her mouth to speak but a a violet light shone on her neck and she dropped dead instantly .
"Am coming for you , Clara "Amaranth said and disappeared.

"Where are we ?"Amaranth asked when they appeared in a castle .
"We are at the place where you'll be more useful than staying in a room all day " Clara replied .
"What do you mean ?"Amaranth asked and Clara snapped her fingers , then two girls came and bound Amaranth's hands .
"I wouldn't want those powers of yours going berserk and attracting Dracula here , that is why you're bound with those specific rope cause it will nullify that power of yours " Clara said and laughed wickedly .
"I thought we were friends " Amaranth said .
"Amaranth, you can never find a friend here cause that power of yours is too tempting to resist . If I get a hold of it , no creature will dare stand to oppose me . Dracula might be the only stumbling block though "
"Clara I trusted you " Amaranth said
"Trust no one " Clara said and she recalled the words Dracula said to her .(Trust no one in this mansion ).
"Lock her up and start the process , we have no time to waste . Dracula might be on his way here and Iris is dead . She tried to snitch on me but my powers ended her life " Clara said without any emotion .
"Welcome to my lair , Amaranth " She said before Amaranth was dragged away .

Dracula appeared in the woods and closed his eyes then sniffed the air but only perceived a faint smell of Amaranth.
"Where exactly did Clara take her to ?"He asked and tried reaching to her through the mental link .
"Where are you Amaranth?"He asked.
"In Clara's lair and am trapped " She responded .
"What do you see around you ?"He asked.
"I see ..aaaaaaaaaaaaah"She shouted and the link was cut off .
Dracula opened his eyes and made a big shout then his eyes turned red .
The grounds shook and thunder struck the sky

"Did you see the sudden change in the clouds colour ?"Luther asked .
"I felt a strong force there and it belongs to one person , Dracula" Sango said
"Amaranth might be in danger " Luther said .
"With Clara's presence , it is doomed to happen . The fact that She isn't even the Clara we all know but the Queen of the snake clan , makes it more difficult for Amaranth to be safe . There's only one reason she took Amaranth" Sango said
"Her powers " Luther responded
"Those powers of hers might not be fully awakened yet , which is the perfect time to take it from her . When it awakens fully , it becomes more difficult and disastrous" Sango said .
"Dispatch the witches and some vampires , we need to get Amaranth before Dracula does " Sango said and Luther left to carry out the orders.
"She is mine , brother "Sango muttered .

Dracula's claws emerged and his hair grew longer . He began to run faster than a torch light till he came to a cave which had a magical barrier on it .
He began to make a spell to break the barrier but the barrier repelled the spell .
The witches and vampire appeared and saw Dracula trying to break the spell .
The witches made a spell and lots of chains appeared and bounded Dracula, pushing his knees to the ground .
"If you ugly beings don't want to feel my wrath , take of these chains now "He ordered but the chains became tighter round his body , burning him as they became tighter .
** ** **
Clara muttered a spell and Amaranth began to jerk as she felt her powers leaving her body .
She tried to break free from the chains but they were right round her wrists .
"There's nothing you can do here , Amaranth. Your powers are nullified , so you can't use them against me " Clara said and laughed wickedly .
She was about to continue when she felt a bridge in the barrier of the cave .
She glanced at the mirror and saw Dracula bound with chains while the vampires and witches were trying to break the barrier .
"Those ugly beings are messing with the wrong creature " She said and summoned her minons .
"Go and keep those pests outside the gate busy , while I finish my work on my friend " She said with a smirk .
"Yes mistress" They said and left for the witches .
"My dear Amaranth"She said and grabbed her hair as her head was low .
"Your Dracula is out there bound with the sacred chains . He's weak and the chains will keep burning him , till he gets released . Guess when he'll be released . Never " She said and laughed wickedly.
"Let Dracula go " Amaranth said with a weak voice .
"I might have but am not the one holding him captive . Sango's minions are " Clara replied .
"Clara , you're the worst monster I've met " Amaranth said.
"Whatever" Clara shrugged .
She began her spell and Amaranth started jerking as her powers were slowly seeping out of her .
The image of Dracula bound with chains appeared in her head and she got provoked .
She began to jerk faster and the powers started returning to her body .
"This can't be " Clara said and took some steps back .
Amaranth made a loud shout and a white light emanated from her chest , spreading out even through the barrier of the cave .
Clara made a spell and disappeared from there before Amaranth could touch her .
Amaranth began to walk towards the exit of the cave and Clara's minions attempted stopping her but they were no match for her .
