"oh ! that explains it "She said and drank the tea .
"You will also train tomorrow. You can't be given even a day off cause they can attack anytime and you need to be ready " Dracula said.
"They can come when they want to, am sure they can't defeat us as long as we are together , Luci "She said gently and he kissed her lips , savouring her taste.
"I have an important matter I need to attend to, so I'll be going now . Finish that cup of tea ,ok?" He asked and she nodded .
He was finally hers !

Dracula teleported to an old house which looked dilapidated. He walked in and saw an old woman making some enchantment before her shrine .
"What brings you here , Dracula?"She asked without turning to know if it's him.
"He's out again and will be a danger to Amaranth. Bind him " He said and she then turned to him.
"That monster is like another version of you , binding him may have bigger consequences in the future "She said.
"Do as I say , old woman "He said and the woman nodded and began to make some incantations .
The flames in the candles became bigger and wind blew with force .
Dracula's eyes suddenly turned red and his nails became long.
"Why are you trying to bind me old woman ?" He asked while approaching her as she took some steps back .
"Your presence will hurt Amaranth" She replied and he chuckled evilly.
"Have you gotten new about I endangering her life ? do you think that weakling Dracula has enough power to secure her ? Without me she'll die cause multitudes of them are on their way , they're still scheming and when they attack, your Dracula will not be able to protect her . She'll die and that Elvira will go free . If I hear you mutter that dirty spell of yours , I'll rip out your tongue from your mouth and give it to Dracula" He said and his eyes changed to green again .
"What went wrong ? did he do anything to you ?" Dracula asked.
"No but I can't do the spell again . He's too powerful . His aura alone weakened me" The woman said .
"I've known you for more than a century, what about him is making you to suddenly withdraw . There has to be something , a spell in one of those books you can use to subdue him , Amaranth's life is at stake here " Dracula said and she shook her head .
"Her life will be at stake if the demon in you leaves . He's too powerful and has brought power to protect her" She said and Dracula frowned . His nails became long and he stood up .
"Are you saying I can't protect her ?"He asked with a furious tone .
"I dare not make such utterances my Lord . All am saying is that if I attempt to bind him , I'll loose my life and still won't be able to bind him " She said .
"Coward" He said and disappeared.
He appeared in his room but didn't see Amaranth there .
He went to the library and saw her muttering some spells with her eyes closed and the weather began to change . Her hair had silvery and golden strands and she looked like a goddess, his mouth dropped .
She raised her fingers and the objects around her arose in the air , she brought down her fingers and they returned to their normal position .
Dracula clapped his hands and she opened her eyes , her hair turned back to black and she closed the book .
"When did you get back ?"She asked
"Few minutes ago but you weren't in the room so I came here . You should be resting , your body spent a lot of energy in your first training" He said and she smiled
"Am fine now . I just felt bored and decided to come here and read some books when this one caught my sight " She said pointing at the book before her.
"Let me see " He said and started going through the pages of the book.
"Flower , this book caught my attention because it was written in a language I couldn't understand so I brought it with me and left it here . Do you understand the words written here ?He asked and she nodded.
"Where was that ?"She asked.
"When I was still raging over the death of my mother , At first my plan was to eliminate my father , his second wife and her sons and rule the kingdom but then Elvira met with the kings of other kingdoms that were in good alliance with my father , so they waged war at me and I fought them all . I left my kingdom in ruins and fought theirs . I saw this book in the ruins of one of those kingdoms "He said
"Which kingdom was that ?"She asked
"Oredem. It was the kingdom that belonged to the ancient genies. They're now extinct but I know they still exist. Some scampered for safety and when the kingdom was left in shambles , I saw this in the ruins . I tried reading it but couldn't . That's the first language I encountered without being able to understand it , so I took it and left it in this library . But you're able to understand it so I think your origin I've been searching for might be related to those ancient genies . They're very powerful creatures actually" He said
"Then how were you able to make suck powerful creatures become nearly extinct ?" She asked .
"I don't know . Maybe it's because of my wrath , I was very angry and destroyed any living thing I came across " He replied
"Where was Drac when you were raging ?"She asked.
"I met that fella in the woods after I destroyed kingdoms and became lonely . He was injured but was too proud to take my help . He was exactly like him so I developed interest in him . I didn't know why I felt attracted to him and with time we bonded and I made him my familiar. With him by my side I was able to conquer more enemies . He has a like for witches flesh . Loves feeding on them so it made them scared but they've found something which weakens him . The day I sent him to get you when you escaped , they were able to make him weak . A spell or potion of some kind .Am not sure "He said
