Aries eyes shut open,it was pitch black and filled with hunger,his lips were bloody,there was blood all on his clothes and he was surrounded by dead bandits,they were about 20 of them and they were all sucked dry.He was still hungry and wasn't sure what would soothe his undying thirst and hunger,he reminded himself not to slack off now,he needs to find the Alfiedian princess as soon as possible.
He took a step forward and stepped on something,it was a hairpin that Ari was wearing when she fell from the horse,he picked it up and inhaled it."Smells like fresh roses, you'll soon smell like burnt papers when I get my hands on you little bitch"he said with a wicked smirk.shoving the pin in his pocket he got on a horse and headed to the direction of the Forbidden valley.
Still in the valley under a huge boulder,the crew were taking a rest after listening to Eric's story of how he got in the 'nowhere' realm.
"So you're saying my grandma Olivia sent you here to accompany me?"I asked in disbelief,I didn't expect grandma to actually send my crush to come after me,what would he think of me now?
" Yes."he briefly answered.
"W...why did you come,I thought you were a very busy person "I air-cloaked.
" I am,but she was persistent,she said she'll kill me if I don't accompany you."Eric said to me and the expectations I had about him falling In love with me went down the drain.
'So he was threatened and not because he likes me' I said inwardly feeling dejected.
"I still can't believe you're a Vampire!"I said shaking my head slightly.
"And I also can't believe you are the Angel destined to save the world"Eric replied.
"Why didn't you tell me?"He asked looking straight in my eyes.
"I wasn't sure about who I was back then,I lost my memories and just regained it recently"I yelled.
"Why didn't you tell me?"I asked him back,he knew I was obviously angry with him.
"Oh if I had told you,you wouldn't have freaked out and told Margret and she would've probably came and killed me"he said and I knew he had a point there,if he had told me I would have freaked out,told Margret and then he probably would be dead by now.
"How's Maggie doing?"I asked Ellen who was checking up on Maggie as we were doing our argument.
"Well,I removed the urge for her to kill him,but not sure about other Vampires and it helped a little that she knows him,but still he should keep his distance and shouldn't get to close ,we don't know what might trigger her urge again".Ellen said.
"When is she going to wake up?"I asked again.
"About 30 minutes from now"she replied and turned to leave and headed across to where the other guys were.
"Speaking of time difference how long have you been in this realm?"Eric asked me and I lifted a brow to show him I was confused at why he was suddenly asking that.
"Two days,why are you asking?"I replied him with another question.
"you've been gone for a week back there?"Eric said,I was shocked to hear that I was also speechless,I've only spent two days in this realm yet I've been gone for a week in the other realm WTF,if this goes on my adoptive parents will file a missing report for me and Maggie,this was bad,real bad.
"Don't worry,I covered it up"Eric said as if hearing my thoughts.
"Covered it up?"I asked.
"I told them I sent you on a business trip very far away and you won't be back for a year"Eric said and I face palmed myself.
"Please don't tell me you compelled them?"I asked,I already knew that was exactly what he did,it'd be so hard to convince a parent that their daughter had gone on a business trip for a year and with out compulsion.Eric was quite and that confirmed my thoughts,he did indeed compel my parents.But how long before a year comes knocking?who knows if I stay here for a week it'll be 10 years In Los Angeles and what if I stay here for a month then I guess it will be 1bc in Los Angeles.
Maggie woke up and stared at me and Eric for a long time,she got up from the ground where we laid her to rest and just stormed outside ignoring us both,on the contrary the potion did work,but on the bad side she was ignoring me now,I chased after her and grabbed her hand.
"Get your fucking hands of me!"Maggie yelled and jerked her hand away from my grip,Gab and Stephan's mouth were formed in an 'o' as they watched the scene along with Ellen who just stood there motionless as Is she knew this would happen.
"Maggie,I'm sorry"I said pleading to her and on the verge of crying.
" You're sorry?you fought me for a guy Ari"Maggie said while yelling angrily at me.
"I'm sorry y...you were about to kill him I had to intervin..."
"Oh cut the the crap,let's face it,I know you like Eric,but I didn't expect you to go this far."she said and continued walking away when I grabbed her hand again.
"Please forgive me Maggie I'm really sorry"I begged but this time she pushed me and I fell to the ground as Gab and Stephan along with Eric came to help me up.I struggled out of their grip in anger and walked towards Maggie,did I mention I was a hot head I get angry easily and I guess I got that trait from my mother cause my father was always calm and collected.
"So you expect me to sit and watch how you mindlessly kill Eric,you expect me to sit and watch my best friend get blood on her hands ,you know what,screw you,do what the fuck you want I won't give a damn."I said angrily and walked away from her to where Ellen stood.Eric called out my name but I ignored him.
"Where to next?!"
"The red sea but there's a village up ahead where we can rest and freshen up maybe even stock up some foods."Ellen said,I angrily started walking Infront as if I knew the place I was heading.
Ellen's Pov
it was night time already and Maggie and Annalise still haven't spoken to each other and none of them had even made an attempt it was silent throughout the walk to the village.
I actually support the princess in this,she was trying to help both her friends,she tried to save Eric's life and she also stopped blood from getting on the hands of her best friend,I realized something and walked over to where the vampire was hastily.
"How did Margret not sense you when you were in the other realm"I asked,curiosity was getting the better of me and I needed to find answers.we were all the way behind and the last in line so I was certain no one could hear us.
"I'm not a full blood Vampire,so I guess she sensed the human side of me and I'm also guessing that this realm made her senses stronger and also made her braver."Eric said.
"Ohhh,So there are other supernaturals in the other realm?" I asked.
"I don't know,I didn't even know Maggie was a supernatural ORM"He replied.
"But ORMS are not supernatural they are just skilled humans"I said to him and he suddenly halted and turned to me.
"Whom you blood witches cursed to destroy vampires,oh you think I don't know?I know everything about the history of you blood witches and how your Ancestors cursed skilled human to loose control and assassinate Vampires... you're the reason why Margret is like that and you're also the reason why the races are not living in peace,that's why you knew how to stop Maggie's urge, because you created that side of her"
"You're of this realm,How did you get to the other realm"I asked emotionless not letting him see what he had said had actually got to me, instead I realized he was from this realm and had somehow manage to escape to the other realm.He was silent and he just left without giving me an answer, I'll make sure to find out everything about him,but one thing was sure he wasn't sent here by the Princess grandma,he had an ulterior motive, maybe he was a spy for the demons cause it made sense and it was to vivid to be a coincidence.
The princess was in the other realm and so was he,now she's here and he miraculously appeared here also,there was only one explanation for this...he is indeed a spy for the demons.
We arrived at the village and went straight to the inn not far from the Market Square,we took two rooms one for the ladies and one for the males,it was awkward in our room because of the silence and Annalise and Maggie hasn't even said a word to each other since their fight.
"Girls,this has to stop." I said,I was tired of the beef going on between those two,I preferred their lousy noises and affection they showed each other.
"What has to stop Ellen?"Annalise asked.
"You two,you haven't spoken to each other for five hours now and you know the saying don't let the sun rise on your malice,you two need to sort things out now."I said but they both ignored me.
