Flora lost in thought,thinking on how to escape from the demon mansion.
She stagger to the door, her kneel was shaking and her tommy growling in pain from hunger.
'How could a man be this heartless' Her eyes has swollen from all the tears she has shed. She could not cry any longer cause no tears was coming out.
" i need to see lord zin" she screamed.
Just then the door slightly opened, a young maiden walked in carrying a tray of food.
"Miss" she said politely bowing her heads as a sign of respect. Her face changed the moments she saw how awful flora was.
She locked the door instantly, raise flora from the ground and placed her on the bed.
" Hi,i am hope. One of the maidens in this house. Nice meeting you..."
"Master sent me to give you your meal "
" am not hungry"
" miss you have to eat to gain strength to escaped out of here" she stared deeply into her eyes. Flora held her hands and stared back at her.
"I have to leave"
" i will help you out on one condition" she said.
"What condition" flora asked.
" I will tell you after you finish your meal mam"
"Drop the honorific, flora is my name" she began eating, devouring it like a beast gulping the glass of juice after 4 spoonfuls of food.
"I can see how farmished you are" she said, beaming from ear to ear.
After some mintues later, she finished the food leaving nothing in it.
" wow, i love your appetite" she compliment her .
"Now what's the condition" she asked with her eyes wide opened.
"Yeah this is the plan. There is a big event happening in the green palace tomorrow. Only the royals or popular people are allowed into the green palace but luckily i have the card to enter" she brought out a green card from her gown pocket, it was designed beautifully a black dragon was drawn on it.
"How come you have this card" flora asked,surprisingly.
"It was given to me by....."she puased,smiling foolishly at flora.
She cleared her throat then continued," by the love of my life,the one that stole the key to my heart,the only one that gives me joy...."
Flora cut in,"who,don't he or she has a name"
"Why are you so impatient. Well the person is monarch."
"what?!!" Flora exclaimed
"Yes,monarch.he love me and i love him too. He is the key to my heart,he is the apple of my ....."
Flora interrupted her again,
"Am happy for you,he is everything to you. Now back to present. How do i escape from here"
"Unless if you agree on following me to the event tomorrow "
Hope stood up holding the tray of empty place and glass cup as she walk out leaving the speechless flora.
Flora lied on the bed battling whether to go or not when Arlong walked into her room. He looked like a god of beauty, he was damn handsome in his white t shirt
"Don't you dare think of a way to escape from here" He warned, his voice cold and scary at the same time.
Flora sat up turning her back against arlong staring at the window. Arlong moved closer to her,his gaze was on her roughed hair. Her hair was scattered and unpleasing to the eyes.
"I want to sleep" she lied down covering herself with the duvet.
"Hey little girl, you can't sleep without taking your bathe" He said.
'Little girl' did he just call me a little girl, geez that's so lame. Flora said within her.
"Hey,if you refuse taking your bathe then i won't let you sleep"
"Fine,can you some privacy. I want to undress" she said holding a shirt wanting to pull it off.
"Am off, do your thing." He left.
In an unknown place in a forest,celebration and jubilation filled the air. Vampires are seen jubilating over what is impossible~downfall of Arlong.
"Finally, finally, we will all have freedom to ourselves." The leader spoke out,happily.
"After Arlong death,we can drink blood as much as we like. No more rules or laws".
"We are free" They all shouted,joyfully.
"Dave,i hope you know what to do"A woman asked the leader,whispering those words into his hear.
"Yes darling." He replied. Kissing her in front of everyone.
"I trust you"she said between the kiss.
She removed her lips from his as she raised up her glass for a toast.
"Lets celebrate to the downfall of Arlong,no more Arlong commandments" she shouted,everyone laughed wildly and smile at one another.
For many years,vampires were banned from drinking human blood and this law was laid down by Arlong. Something about vampires,they don't break promises that they laid. During the commandments all vampires vowed never to drink human blood and this promise has been kept for thousands of years. Only if Arlong is been killed that's when the vow is broken.
Arlong is half human half vampire,he has lived for many years that life means nothing to him cause he was already tired of life itself. He has tried so many ways of dying but he keep on living. He is not even scared of death, there is a prohecy that says a woman will be born to kill him and make his wish come true.
In sambat town, sadness filled the air,lordzin gathered alot of soldier. A woman who will be in her100s stood beside him talking to him, he was not giving her a listening ear at all.
"Lord zin, take it easy" she begged.
"Are all this the soldiers? " he asked.
"Yes sir" they chorused.
" we are heading to zwalu to bring back my daughter" He said.
"Sir,it will take us 1 week to get to zwalu" A man in his late 40s said.
"We will make sure we bring back your daughter" he added.
"I will go with you people" said lord zin.
The woman held his cloth,
"Son, please don't go"she pleaded,her body looks pale.
"Mother i need to bring my daughter back,it's my responsibility" He said as tears rolled down his cheeks.
"Please you are my only child, don't go. If you go i will kill myself" he knelt infront of his mother patting her back.
"Leave your daughter alone, she is a cursed child that should have been killed on the day she was birth."
"She is my daughter and not a cursed child "he sobbed loudly.
" go to Zwalu and bring back my daughter " he ordered.
" okay sir" They dismissed.
"Son lets go eat,you need to eat "
"I don't have an appetite"
Lord zin knelt on the ground,crying his eyes out while his mother began patting his shoulder.
"Don't cry my son, with time you will get over this"his mother consoled him. Patting his back.
