After some hours Caerellia rose up to see all the boys still sleeping.She rubbed her eyes and yawned as she looked at the mansion.I must have fallen asleep she thought.When she took a step forward she suddenly tripped and fell on top of one of the boys.Her bright brown eyes meet a pair of lemon eyes starring intensely at her.His right arm was around her waist and the other arm was used to support his head as he lay down.
"S..S..Sorry"she stammered as she tried pulling up but his grip tighted.
"Well,Well,would you look at the loving couple.It seems Raphael is in love"the boy with the orange brown hair said which he received a glare from the boy with violet eyes as he clapped his hands .He pulled Caerellia up which made her face him and he stared at her for a while before letting go.They all begun walking towards the mansion and Caerellia went to meet up with her family.
"Grandfather"she cried as he carried into his arms.
"Where have you been Caerellia?We were all worried sick about you".he said as he cleaned his granddaughter's face.
"I wasn't"luke said which earned him a glare from Mr.Belmont.The place was shaped as a ballroom and the top stairs was covered with a red cloth.
"Attention everyone.May I please have all your attention"the announcer said which caused all eyes to look at the top stairs.He gave the mic to the president and people begun to clap.
"Thank you everyone for attending.It has been an honor seeing all of you here".They all applause for him as he waved at them.
"Isn't the event over?"Racheal asked bored.
"It seemed the president had something very important to say" Mr.Belmont said.
"As you all know the event is held to bring the highest of the highest together and we don't introduce important guests since everyone here is important.But this time I'll love to introduce some very special guests tonight."Many people begun murmur as they all thought who could be so important in an event full with important worldclass people.
"Everyone please bow as I introduce the children from the Vernifelon family".Everyone who knew that name turned pale including her family and Caerellia noticed that even the president himself looked nervous.The whole place turned as silent as a cemetery and they all got ready to bow.
'But the Vernifelon family never attend'
'I've never seen the six princes before'
'Yes,they never attend because they are too important even in this event!'people said.The president cleaned his sweating face and announced,
"The sixth prince from the Vernifelon family,Severus Vernifelon".They all saw a boy wearing a red suit and sliver patterns where designed on it.He had bright white hair,deep blue eyes and beautiful pale skin.
"The two twins,the fifth and fourth princes from the Vernifelon family,Raphael and Romeo Vernifelon".Both had light red hair but the fourth born Romeo had longer hair which reached to the end of his neck and wore a hat while Raphael's hair was short which looked cut and looked combed this time.Theirs was of the same design as Severus but Romeo's colour was deep green and Raphael's deep blue.
"The third prince,Sebastian Vernifelon".He also wore the same suit but his colour was indigo.He had orange hair which looked almost brown,deep blue eyes and pale skin.
"The second prince,Damien Vernifelon".He also obviously wore the same suit instead it colour was violet.He had black hair,purple eyes,pale skin and he wore colourless glasses.
"And the crown prince,next on the throne after his king,Dexter Vernifelon".Black suit,pale skin,violet eyes and unique dark grey hair.Caerellia was speechless.B..But those are the boys I met in the garden she thought.Everyone was astonished by their beauty and the powerful aura they held.They all parted way for them and bow as they passed by.Everyone present was terrified and no one dared to speak or do anything.No girl even dared to gain their attention.
'I wonder what would happen to dear Caerellia if she 'accidentally' fell on one of them'Rachel thought then she explained her plan to her cousins and they thought of how to do it.As everyone was still bowing and the six princes passed by,Rachel pushed Caerellia hard which caused her to fall on Sebastian.Everyone was angry and terrified as they thought what the six princes would do to the poor girl.
"Caerellia how dare you!Don't you know he is a prince!"Racheal shouted loud enough for everyone to hear.
"I..I'm sorry",Caerellia stammered.
"Sorry isn't enough!Go on your knees and lick his shoe as an apology."Racheal said proudly and faced Sebastian,
"Forgive my sister's stupidity your highness"she bowed and rose her hand to slap Caerellia when Sebastian grabbed her hand and pushed a little.But since he was very strong for a child she ended up falling.He picked Caerellia up gently and said,
"It was just an accident,no need for her to do that" then he faced Caerellia and asked.
"Are you okay?"he asked.She nodded.Then he let go of her waist and followed his brothers which shocked everyone around.Mr.Belmont was speechless.He thought his precious little granddaughter was going to die!Thank God he thought.
"I'm glad to see you safe"Jane said.Caerellia observed Jane the whole drive from the event to the mansion.She thinks I'm joking and wouldn't dare to hurt her.Usually I don't mind it if they bully me but,if this goes on they would end up hurting others Caerellia thought.The next day after getting permission from Jane,she made her way to the park.Her cousins envy her since she had permission to leave the mansion anytime.Instead of playing with the other kids Caerellia sat in the car until she saw her uncle Mike enter his car and drive away.She told the driver she was going to a friend's place then she took a cab and followed his car.
They drove for hours until they reached a mountain and arrived at a log house.With her camera in her hand she followed him into the house and saw him making out with a very beautiful lady.That must be Erica,uncle's mistress she thought as she took pictures.I don't want to do this but if I don't they would continue to hurt others.Uncle would continue to rape women in the company and aunt Stella will continue to bribe others.When the right time comes I would reveal all their secrets she thought.She sneaked into her grandfather's study and placed the pictures there.While they were eating dinner Mr.Belmont pause and said,
"Everyone I have good news.Let me first get it from my study"he said then got up and left.After a few minutes he charged in looking angry then punched Mike hard on the face.
"Father what are you doing!"Stella shouted as she helped her husband up.
"You bastard!How dare you betray my daughter!"he shouted as he got ready to punch him again when Jane and Micheal held him.
"Father calm down.What are you talking about?"Micheal asked.Mr.Belmont threw the pictures on floor for them to see.They immediately told the children to leave and shut the door to prevent them from seeing,
"W..Where did you get these pictures from honey?"Jane asked worriedly.
"I found them on my study table."he replied.
"Why don't any of you look shocked?"he said and they had to make the most believable excuses they could come up with.It took weeks before Mr.Belmont could calm down and he still hated Mike for betraying Stella.They had a family meeting when Mr.Belmont was out of town.They discussed how he knew and who placed the pictures in his study room.As they discussing Caerellia opened the door to the room and walked inside looking unfazed.
"What are you doing here Caerellia?Did any of us give you permission to enter?!"Micheal's wife said.
"I just wanted to ask why Grandpa was so angry weeks ago" she replied sweetly.
"That's none of your business.Leave now!"Stella shouted.
"Okay.But I wonder how grandfather found those pictures in his study"she said then made her way to the door when Jane asked,
"How did you know he found them in his study?"
"You placed them there didn't you?"Mike said.
"Yes I did.I would never lie".Caerellia replied.
"You...!"Stella rose up and was about to beat Caerellia when her husband held her.
"How dare you!You broke our deal!"she shouted.
"Only because you broke it first"
"What!We never did"
"Grandmother did"
"What?Mother what is she talking about?"Stella asked confused.
"During the event Grandmother send a maid to kill me.Since she broke the deal I decided I needed to show her I wasn't joking"
"Mother is this true?!"Micheal asked.
"Yes It is" Jane replied.
"But why?"Mike asked.
"I thought she was only baffling".
"I wasn't.Fortunately for you I only showed Grandpa uncle's mistress.I could've show him worse.For example,Auntie's blackmail,raping women in the company or the death of Jake" she said and they felt terrified.
"Please forgive me"Jane said even though deep inside she was furious.
"This was only a warning.The next time I won't show any mercy"she stated and left.Deep inside she was terrified and earlier had to practice how to speak to them without shaking.It took all her courage to stand in front of them and speak without shaking or stammering.When she reached her room she panted like she had just run a marathon.She laid on her queen size bed and thought of what to do next.She walked to her window and looked at the city.She saw humans and vampires walking around.The humans gave of a light aura while the vampires a dark one.That was how she could differentiate between a creature of the night and a human.As she held her necklace tightly she remembered months ago she had seen something like a clock on one of the friends of Jane,June.The clock showed it had three hours left and she didn't understand at first.She told her family and people around but they pushed her aside and claimed she was only speaking nonsense.After three hours the clock made a sound then faded and a reaper appeared.June was already ill and the doctor had informed her family she had three to five years to live so it came as a shock to everyone when she fell on the floor lifeless.
Some people blamed Caerellia and kept on calling her a witch and unfortunately for Caerellia that wasn't the last time she saw something like that.Ever since then Mr.Belmont decided it was best she didn't leave home.After some days, accidentally Caerellia ended up meeting the six princes again and again.She got to know them and their personality bit by bit.She got used to them and everytime when she was going to meet them she informed her grandfather she was going to church for activities.She wasn't lying because it was after church activities she went to visit them.
They had been through a lot together and for the pass five years they remained friends.Gradually they ended up having feelings for her but she was too dense to notice.At first they were very mean towards her but as time flew they became comfortable around her.She really loved them all and kept them in her heart always.
The story of their past and adventures during their childhood would come later in the story when Caerellia gains her memories back.
Memory Verse:Romans 13:13-14:Because we belong to the day,we must live decent lives for all to see.Don't participate in the darkness of wild parties and drunkenness,or sexual promiscuity and immortal living,or quarreling and Jealousy.
Instead,clothe yourself with the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ.And don't let yourself think about ways to indulge your evil desires.
