Chapter 15 - Chapter Fifteen

~Missing~

Serephina was sitting comfortably on her rocking chair, knitting a scarf when Aine burst in, panicking. Her eyes were evident with a sense of alarm.

"Hey, what's that?" Serephina asked.

"Mother, it's Neev" Aine panted and Serephina gave her a cranky look.

"What's wrong with Neev?" Her voice came out in a whisper.

"Mother, I can't find her! It's already sunset and she's nowhere to be found. Neev isn't the type to stay so late out there!" Aine yelled, already in tears which made Serephina sprang her feet up with a gasp.

"I can't find Vladimir either, that can't be a coincidence, could it?" Aine asked.

"But she was with Vladimir at the backyard, juts this evening" Serephina stated, more like a whisper.

Xerxes walked in holding a basket, smiling. His smile dropped when he felt the tension in the room. 

"What's going on?" He asked.

"Have you seen Neev" Aine asked instead and he scoffed.

"Isn't she with Vladimir?" Xerxes replied with a question.

"That's what I'm saying, neither him nor Neev could be found. Niamh will never stay out late no mater what" Aine stated with a certain certainty.

"Then I'll have to ask Ee-fah" Xerxes scurried away.

He reached Aoife's house and knocked the door repeatedly, or rather impatiently.

Aoife opened up with a frown

"Why that knock? You sound more like you want to poo" Aoife snapped.

"No time for jokes, where's Neev?" Xerxes asked firmly. Aoife thought for a while and answered

"If she isn't with Vladimir, then she could be with that mysterious strange man" 

"Mysterious strange man? Who are you talking about?"

"Didn't you hear about the man that was searching for the lady that can purify a demon-possessed living? Mr Angel was with him and he tested me if I can purify the demon-possessed living but I couldn't. He was with Neev almost everyday and one other man which I don't know is always with Awn-yah. I don't know their motives though" 

Xerxes was shocked by the sudden discovery that he became utterly speechless for a while. 

"Could it be, he took her with him? She purified it?" He asked and Aoife shook her head.

"I doubt that. We are all lowlife supernaturals, none of us could purify it. She could probably be with Vlad" 

"He's also missing" Xerxes broke the bombshell and Aoife gasped aloud.

"That can't be, they can't be missing" she panicked, breathing heavily.

"Let's search for her tomorrow morning" she suggested

"I can't believe you Ee-fah, my sister is missing and you want me to search for her tomorrow morning? What if she's in danger?" Xerxes asked with a scoff and Aoife bit her lower lip.

"I will help you then" 

And juts like that, they went in search of Neev in the dark night.

Meanwhile....

Severus and Marius prepared to leave for the Moon Realm. 

"We're good to go, Your Highness" Severus bowed. Prince Lansel nodded and turend to Neev. His eyes landed on the opal necklace on her neck and he looked up at her. His eyes turned a shade darker

"He gave you?" He stated calmly, and she nodded slowly.

His hands slowly went to the back of the neck and took it off, his fingers grazed on her bare skin in the process and strangely, Niamh got a strange electrifying feeling which made her breath hitch for a while. Her heartbeat accelerated afterwards

"That could be also dangerous" he said and threw it near the fireplace. Nimah breathed out, shakingly.

"I can't do this, Your Highness. My family..." 

"Sash...sshh... Neev" Lansel cut her off and she looked up, tears welled up her eyes. Lansel's gaze softened at the sight of her tears. He doesn't know why but he felt guilty seeing her tears. He slowly cupped he cheeks

"Trust me Neev, your family is in safe hands, I promise. You staying here is really dangerous that will put those close to you in danger" he carressed her cheeks.

Niamh stated into his dazzling sea green eyes, she could see the sincerity and compassion in those eyes. She hesitated for a while before nodding, slowly.

Lansel opened a portal and just like that, they disappeared into the portal and it closed afterwards.
