"I'm sorry"
The woman, who seems she in her early twenties slowly descended. She had no wings and seemed to be levitating towards Ben, specifically towards Damien.
Damien who was still furiously attacking Ben. looked over toward the woman and as soon as he made eye contact he froze and stood like a statue.
The woman who was looking at Damien in the eyes spoke with a calm tone.
"Come, here, and let me feed you"
The woman brought her hands to her mouth and with a quick action bit a small part and made the tip of her finger bleed.
Damian immediately felt his thirst spike and rushed towards the bloodied finger. His fangs protruded out from his upper teeth.
Right before Damien had reached his source of blood, the woman quickly slapped Damien across the face sending him many meters across the field and crashing into a tree.
With a feral roar, Damien rushed back again now with the intention of killing the woman and taking all the blood for himself. Running like an animal using all four limbs and extended his claws out slashing towards the neck of the woman.
The Woman however calmly grabbed onto the hands, inspecting the claws. Damien on the other hand tried to shake his body kicking, biting anything but couldn't hurt the woman at all.
"These features, why is he here? Especially in this condition. Are you torturing him?" The Woman asked with her voice hiding a fit of hidden anger.
Ben quickly understood the direction where the conversation was headed and quickly bowed in a royal manner.
"I wouldn't dare Madam Eno"
A burst of pressure exploded out from Eno causing both Ben and Rose to kneel further. Feeling like gravity has been multiplied ten-fold.
"Who dared you to utter my name!"
Eno stared directly at Ben. Her eyes were full of bloodlust, her attention completely on Ben.
'ugh, why does my head hurt so badly?'
Upon feeling like I've awoken to the worse hangover I have ever felt. I saw a woman with the same platinum hair as my mother but with a shade of red at the ends.
"Mother? No, you are not my mother who are you? Wait let me go!"
After waking up I found myself in a precarious situation with my hands being held by what felt like a vice. No matter how much I kicked, shook, and shouted she would not let me go.
The woman hears that Damien has finally woken up. Quickly turned her head towards Damien.
"Didn't your mother ever tell you to be quiet when the adults are talking?"
I looked her straight in the eyes and replied back not caring that she has the strength to kill me.
"She also taught me to run away and make noise when someone tries to kidnap me"
As if the whole world turned quiet. Ben and Rose looked at Damien with pleading eyes telling him to 'Shut up kid you're going to get us all killed'.
Eno, who heard what Damien said looked at him straight in the eyes. Her eyes glowed and her cheeks turned a little flush.
"Yes, you have the pride of one. I am right, I'm going to be taking you with me. So you better behave. Understand?"
'huh? Is she some sort of perverted psychopath? Oh no shes a pervert slave trader'
Quickly turning my head towards Ben and Rose.
"Help me! I'm being kidnapped by a slave trader! Uncle, Rose, Get away before she gets you too!"
*Slap*
Feeling a stinging sensation on my cheek. I looked at the woman and swung my left hand toward her face. Feeling the hand connect with her face I felt a little relieved for some reason.
*Slap*
Eno, who was stunned was completely silent for a second. Suddenly looked at Damien in the eyes with her eyes glowing red. Her fangs became visible. Her body which was a very pale color started to turn pitch black.
In panic realization of what I have done, I started to do everything I can to try to break out of her grip. Looking over at Ben and Rose I see them with their heads all the way down. Sweat dripped from their heads.
I looked at the woman in the eyes. With the frustrations of being weak, Hatred for the woman for putting Ben under so much stress. My Pride is being stomped on, The irritation coming from the core of my being. Something of this level I have never felt before.
"You, I-"
"Sleep"
Damien who was struggling so much dropped like a puppet whose master just left. All the energy was gone as he has finally rested after an eternity of work.
Eno, looking at both Ben and Rose finally spoke.
"Sleep, you shall forget what has occurred here"
In the Blink of an eye, Eno turned pitch black and formed a cacoon of dark blood around the unconscious Damien, and disappeared.
~A moment later~
Vanessa arrived, seeing that both Ben and Rose had been unconscious but still alive.
"Ben!, Rose! What had happened?" Vanessa whose voice is dripping in concern. She frantically looked everywhere.
Stuttering Rose was finally able to speak
"I'm-I-What am I doing here? we were waiting for Damien and then it felt like we fell asleep."
Ben who finally got his barring looked around and stood up. His face serious and looking at the moon which seemed to be at its brightest took out his crucifix.
"A higher being, maybe of Noble blood," Ben said silently.
Vanessa upon hearing what he said. Her hair which was platinum turned blood red. Her face which was filled with emotions of worry, Concern, and Anger turned cold as ice. Her eyes turned into a slit like a reptile turned into a darker shade of red.
"Your highness, we will find him. I cannot imagine that someone who has ill intentions would be able to come into this territory without you knowing." Ben spoke in a low tone, Kneeling down with his hand on his heart and his face looking down.
In an Icy chill tone, Vanessa spoke.
"Do not worry, I will take care of it. Outsiders should remain outside on family matters. Please tell this body's lover of hers that I will be going on a business trip."
"We heed your call" Both Ben and Rose answered unanimously.
Vanessa who was standing still looked up at the moon, having a light smile. Biting her finger a single drop hit the ground. The blood rapidly multiplied until there was a small pond of it. With a quick moment of her fingers.
The Blood that was resting quickly shot up into the air and rapidly started to encircle Vanessa like a tornado.
"Home" Vanessa spoke silently and disappeared. leaving a small splatter of blood on the ground.
Rose looked at Ben and finally said in a serious tone.
"Looks like she's back in action"
"I just hope that this time, she will not do something stupid."
Ben who was looking into the horizon, started to walk back to the village. Rose follows right behind.
