Alfred Pov:
After several failed attempts at getting rid of the bracelet, i am finally able to unlock the damned thing. I don't know what is holding the evil doctor from coming back all this while but I thank the goddess that it was so.
Getting out of the cage was easy. When I open the door, I could see a long corridor. whatever I have to do, I need to hurry for I only have less than 3hours now before this puppet expires.
I am surprise that there is no guard in the corridor, they must be confident that no one can get in here easily, well they did actually brought me in here themselves but for some unexplainable reason I cannot seem to recall how they brought me in here.. I am suppose to know everything my puppet knows but it seems my puppet seem not to recall it.
After walking past some close doors, I could hear faint sound coming from one of the rooms. I walked towards the direction of the voices, the door of the room was slightly opened, There is no guard by the door as well. For people as careful as these, am suprised they are this lax with security, they must be real confident no one can get in here.
I peeped in through the slightly opened door, and I could see the evil doctor lying lifelessly on the floor.
My liege You did not have to kill Biembel, He could still be of use to us. The gem is yet to be finished. I saw a man talking to a lady whose back is turned towards the door.
What use is this empty vessel. He is not strong enough and he allowed himself be overcome by an evil spirit. He keep saying we need the princess blood to complete this, then I guess we will have to get the final ingredient ourselves. The lady said while turning towards the man.
I can clearly see her now and she is really the exact replica of Shira, the way she walk, her poise. The only visible difference between them is her eyes. They seem like an abyss.
How about the men working for him, they might turn on us if they found out you killed him.
Garett your naïveté sometimes baffles me, she said with a cackle. He might think they work for him but in reality they work for me. So you think those working under you, actually works for you? get rid of such delusions. She said while walking towards the throne in the corner of the room and sat on it.
We need to move on to the next phase of our plan. I need to get out of this place. That damned evil wench just had to cut us off the rest of the world.
Anyways get out of here and get on with what you are suppose to do Garett. The woman said with a growl and the man turned to leave immediately, I guess he could sense she is in a foul mood.
I guess that is my queue to leave, as I ran quickly before he could get to the door. After walking for a while, I ended up at the exact place I started, This place is a maze. It is no wonder there is no guard here, it is because she is confident no outsider could get in or out.
You lost? I heard a voice right behind me and i turned to see her.
I cannot believe I was not able to get any valuable information and now I have been caught by this vampire that look so much like Shira. How am I suppose to play this?
Hello kind lady, like you said I seem to be lost. If you could just show me the way out of this place and I will be on my merry way.
I could see the corner of her mouth quirked, I like your sense of humour. I almost laughed out loud. Now tell me who let you out of your cage smart ass.
Oh wait! Now this just got interesting, You are a puppet. I only know one person with this talent. She said while suddenly grabbing onto my puppet and it felt as though she could see me.
Alfred longest time she said while smiling brightly, her fangs came out. Who knew you will willingly come to me. I missed you too and she sink her fangs into my puppet and drained him till I lost connection with it.
That evil creature! I cannot believe the amount of anger am actually feeling right now. She intentionally did that. I don't know how she knew of my powers but she knows, and she also knew that I will feel the pain my puppet feels. The wide smile on her face as she sank her fangs in me shows she revel in the sight of my pain. Who is this entity.
The only useful information I think I got from there is that they need Shira's blood to activate the gem that the evil doctor made, and for whatever reasons she felt reluctant doing so. But now it seems she is left with no choice.
What should I do now? Shira is currently on her way to find her and she seems to also need her blood. I feel a trepidation in my heart. I should warn Shira and Lance.
I tried connecting to Shira, as I put my palm to my face to FaceTime her. I hate doing this as it dispense too much energy but I have no choice at the moment, Shira seem to be in danger.
I immediately saw her face on my palm, and she seem surprised I FaceTimed her. Brother to what do I owe this unexpected surprise. You hate doing this, what happened. She said in a concerned tone.
Shira, you need to be very careful. I know if I told you to come back here, you will not listen to me. She want your blood to activate a gem, I have no idea what that evil creature will unleash with that thing but in whatever you do, make sure she does not get even a drop of your blood I said firmly. She need to know how serious this is.
Brother, I have heard you. I will do well to heed your word. But how do you get to know about this? Don't tell me you use your puppet.. you know how draining and dangerous that is for you, It always leave your physical body vulnerable.
Do not worry about me Shira, Kaan was here to watch over me. You should worry more of yourself and be cautious of that scheming creature.
Stop draining too much of your energy brother. I can take care of myself, she said as she cut off our connection.
I feel so drained right now, at least she know now to be cautious. She might sound unbothered but Shira is not the one to be reckless.
I drank a vitality portion and I lay down to sleep.
