Chapter 25: Hell' O Christmas

"The night is calm. Christmas Eve is coming. People are celebrating. Yet, Hell' O Christmas is horrifying."

CESIA'S POV

"No," Trevor speaks with authority. His dark aura filled in the living room. We are all here, facing Hakuna Matata. He wants to get his prize. A replacement for Aries's life.

"I didn't need your opinion, Dark Prince. I want the little nightingale, decide." He said.

"I-... "I can't utter a word. I do not know what my decisions are. I'm afraid if that replacement may lead my life to end. I heard him, chuckled, and look at me with amusement.

'He is so creepy.' Zia said.

"It's not what you think, dear." He said like he knows what I'm thinking.

"I want all your help, too. I sense the dark prince power and other creatures that have a Royal Blood." About Trevor, Aries, Aivan, and Amara.

"So, I decided to go where you are. And found me at this Hotel. I heard you singing..." Looking at me. I think we have to hear him out first, his reasons.

"Continue," Trevor said, crosses his arms and lean his masculine body to the sofa.

"If we heard someone singing, and wish wholeheartedly. We can grant wishes, but it comes with a replacement. Whoever did to fulfill their wish, has a right to claim it. I know that your friend was on the verge of death, already. That's why I used my last luck and fulfilled your wish, little nightingale. So, I can name my prize." He massages his forehead and I know he had a big problem. Therefore, I decided, what my decision is.

"Name your prize. And give me reasons, why we have to do it?" I said. I saw hope in his eyes while looking at us.

"Th-thank you! I know your friends were powerful. I-I need you all, to save my daughter and other missing children in my town. It has been a month since an unknown evil creature captured them. We live peacefully in this realm, but it came too fast. Evil Creatures lurking in this World and now, one of my children was the victim. I almost lost hope and can't even save her, even I'm powerful. I'm their Leader but I can't save them. My people's child and now m-y daughter." He weakly said, bowing his head crying silently. I felt my heart clutched from what I heard and seen. He loves her daughter that much and how his eyes almost lose hope. Her daughter was very lucky to have a father like him. He is ready to do anything just to save her daughter.

'I envy her.' I said sadly to Zia.

'Hey, yeah we all know her daughter is very lucky. But, look around. You have them, so better not worry okay?' Zia said. Yeah, I don't want to eat myself again in hatred and envy. It may result again in chaos. I must know how to accept the hurtful things in my past.

I glared at my companion, they look at each other. Like, talking to their minds. I want to help him, but I need their help too. Trevor looks at me and nodded. I almost jump in happiness. I saw them smile saying they were ready to help him. I didn't even know I am smiling widely at them.

"Wo-ah get the camera! Come on, Faster!" Aries screamed, and I don't know why he is screaming. I saw Aivan and Amara blink their wide eyes, repeatedly. Aries cannot help himself to shout. Trevor is grinning while shaking his head.

'What's happening?' I asked, in my thoughts. I frown from their sudden reaction.

"I-I saw her smiling right? Someone slap me, I think I'm just dreaming." Amara speaks while pinching her cheeks. What are they doing? What did I do, again?

'Obviously, you just give them your killer smile." Zia said sarcastically, if these thoughts had her own body, I could see she is rolling her eyes now, with brows up.

'What?' my eyes widen. What the hell, I am doing! That is why they were stunned.

"Tsk! Forget I did those." I said coldly. I think they can think properly now because they were all grinning.

'Creepy.' Zia said.

"Nuh-Uh, We don't want to forget that precious moment of yours. So, Mr.?" Trevor said, changing the topic as if it was nothing to me. I feel my cheeks, heated. I quickly buried my face in the pillow resting in my lap.

'Geez, why is he acting like it was not a big deal to him?' I curse in my mind.

"Heist! You have beautiful eyes, but too disappointing because you're blind.' Zia said with boredom. Again, this thought is such an annoying one. I know it is somewhat weird. My thoughts and I had different principles of dealing with life.

"Oh, sorry for my reckless move, earlier. I am Dark Valdmort, from the hidden town of Harmonica, which is the blood forest of Athens Town."

"Okay, tell me why would we trust you? You're kind is known for being one of the dangerous creatures. I thought Hakuna Matata's were merciless in claiming their prize. Why act like a saint? "Trevor speaks coldly with a hint of warning in his voice. I know it is a confrontation. Moreover, I understand why he's doing it. Just to ensure our safety.

"It's because I'm different from them. I don't want to follow their steps. I want to decide my fate, and that fate is my happiness, my family, and my new home where I manage my people who want to change. Not all the evil creatures you've encountered were cruel and ruthless. I want to change the fact of how they disgust us, but there are such creatures who didn't believe in change. That's why we decided to live far away from the creatures that disgust and look at us, as Monsters. If trust is your problem, I don't mind if you didn't trust me. However, please help and save my people, and my daughter. As a father, I'm begging you, not an evil creature you have seen in me." He pleads, gone the dangerous aura in his face changes to a lost and loving father.

I saw how their emotions change to softness. I know they were a touch too, what he said. Besides, I must say, he is right not all evil creatures we see are heartless they just born in their kind with that kind of title but, some of them had a heart and need for a change. We must not judge them directly knowing they entitled as "EVIL" we must know their side and their opinions. That's the cycle of life and I envy him, how he fights for his fate, how he wants to change it and I must say he successfully achieves it through love.

"Sorry. How we can find them? And we must know what happens; maybe they were reasons why their victims are children." Trevor said. Dark Valdmort releases a deep sigh. He was relieved that Trevor decided to help them.

"I will bring you to my place, Harmonica, and there we should talk about what happens. First, I will tell you my side story of our kind." Dark said, with his usual cold and dark aura. We just nodded, and there he started telling a story about their origin.

Hakuna Matata is a mystical creature called Hybrid Mormo's. However, he was the first ever-made Male Mormos. Dark Valdmort tells us about their history. Mormo's were all female vampire-like creatures. Mormo's is known to seduced men, and bring their victims to their bed for pleasure. After doing it, they suck their blood for food until the victim dies.

Mormo's are the cursed creatures created by Goddess Hecate because of anger and jealousy. She created three creature-like vampire women that can seduce, suck the blood of men, and necromancy. Mormo's can bring life back from the dead or on a verge of dying. Moreover, Hecate brings them to the palace of Dracula on Transylvania. He ordered them to seduced Dracula and killed him. The Mormo's acted as a sex slave of Dracula, but one of them fall in love with him. Her name was Felisse, out of the three she was the most intelligent, she can understand emotion and one of those is love.

Felisse was the closest one to Dracula and every time they made love is her precious moment. Suddenly, Dracula's attitude changes into being distant to them and that is because he fell in love with the other girl, a human. Felisse got angry and envious, she killed her two companions and get too much power over them for revenge. She killed the human lover of Dracula. That's why Dracula is very angry, loses his humanity, and cast away Felisse in the palace. Felisse never regretted what she's done and let her anger take control of her. She came into the hidden town of Native People in Romania, acted as if she was lost and hurt. The native leader takes care of her and gives her a peaceful home. Felisse let it flow; how they treated her, but her true plan is to multiply and made a creature like her true the man who fell in love with her. They decided to marry each other, but Felisse was pregnant the time she left Dracula's castle. It was Dracula's flesh and blood. The leader accepted Felisse's child and acted as a true father. Until Dracula's child was born and name Dark Valdmort. He grows as a fine and handsome man with his five siblings.

Dark Valdmort, didn't agree with how his mother killed innocent native people especially his Father. Only they were left, but his sibling's mind got poison by his mother created a story and put on to their minds to conquer and create a lot of creatures like them.

Yes, he became one of them getting revenge for Dracula's death. He became cruel and merciless. He was a different creature a half-vampire and a half-mormo. Nevertheless, he never knew he is Dracula's son. Years passed, the mormos multiply into hundreds, and it's his siblings doing. He knows he is cruel but never in his entire life to produce a child into a woman.

The cruelty of his mother and his siblings gotten worst and it bothered him. Therefore, he escaped from their place and go to the mortal world. He met his beloved, a mortal who accepts him as a whole knowing what kind of creature he is. That's the reason he became good and understands the ways of life. He changed because of love.

They decided to build a family, but his mother finds where Dark was hiding. She was so angry, that his son fell in love with a human. His mother beseeches his betrayal of her kind. His mother declared, to kill him that results in a bloody war. A lot of Mormos on the side of his mother and some mormos on him because they didn't agree with what are his mother's cruel law.

The war came and there he knows he is a Hybrid created by a vampire and a mormos. Also, that vampire was Dracula his known enemy. He was very angry because his mother hidden the truth and knowing her mind succumb to hatred. Until he decided to end the mormos who didn't want for change and successfully win the war, even he killed his mother and siblings.

Dark Valdmort becomes the leader of Hybrid Mormo's. He created the law that balanced human nature and lives peacefully in the town of Harmonica in a blood forest. They changed the name of Hybrid Mormo's into Hakuna Matata meaning No worries, because whatever the other creatures look to them as evil but, they all know into their hearts that they were not the kind of creatures that they implying to.

He also said that they don't know what kind of creature kidnaps children. And. That's what we need to find out.

"Woah, such a tragic yet happy ending story." Aries and Amara chorus. Yes, it is, tragic but in the end, they overcome all of it because of love and determination.

"Hm, maybe but the true word for that is undefined. We always encounter unforgettable moments, but if you manage to overcome them. It gives you lessons and leads you to an understanding of love. Not all the time we are happy because in life it is one of the recipes to complete what kind of spices we are encountering to. We need to balance it." Aivan was right. It hits my ego too; I'm not alone in the world that encounters very cruel moments in life. Moreover, I must motivate myself, to keep on moving on.

"Okay, Guys. Merry Christmas! Woah, a horrifying Christmas." Aries speaks, interrupting our clouded mind. What? It is already Christmas? Why I did not even notice it?

'God!'

"It's a Hell' O Christmas!"
