Mated With The Dark Prince

I was running fast in the dark and dense forest.

The hitting branches of the plant on my arms and legs-I no longer cared. All I wanted was to get to the school where my loved ones were.

A year since my mistake happened that caused almost the end of the world.

And even to this day, I am fighting and trying to survive to correct my mistake.

'' This time, I will succeed in breaking the barrier! A year apart from them is too much! " I uttered and stopped running, seeing the sign I made a year ago.

I took a deep breath and began to utter the incantation with my hand raised.

'' Damn it!'' I exclaimed as the barrier just lit up but didn't break. Annoyed, I punched the trunk, which instantly crumbled due to the force of the impact.

'' Do I need to give up my life just to have enough power?'' I asked myself while sitting on the trunk and closing my eyes.

I promise to the man I love that I will not give up my humanity to gain power, but it looks like I will not be able to fulfill these vows because I have no other way.

'' Finally, I found you, Claire Anderson! ''

I immediately look up and stand, '' Xia! How did you find me?! ''

'' You're my best friend, so I know what's on your mind and heart,'' Xia grinned.

'' You're not my best friend your the devil-like leech who doesn't want to let go of my friend!'' I yelled.

Since I don't want to hurt Xia's body, I continue to avoid her, but the devil is consistently hunting me.

'' I'm sorry, my dear Claire, but Xia already accepted me! We are one body and mine now. Even her soul has already renounced to me,''

I clenched my fists. There is no way for me to know if the person I am talking to is telling the truth, so it is difficult to decide whether to fight or run.

"Don't think to run because you can't escape us! '' Xia states and looks at the left side of the forest.

I flinched when I saw the vampires coming out one by one.

"You know vampires can't defeat me! Even you can do nothing with my strength. The reason you're still alive is that I care about Xia's body!" I state and release my claws while smiling.

'' Yes, that is true; we can't defeat you, but he can," Xia grinned and looked at the barrier.

The barrier that I have long wanted to break is slowly disappearing.

'' Ian Gabriel... '' I whispered, seeing the man walking towards me.

I started to step closer to the man I loved, but my joy was gradually replaced by doubt when I saw his eyes colored with darkness.

''No... Not you too! This is not happening,'' I whispered, wishing my suspicion was wrong.

'' I'm sure you still remember Ian Gabriel, but sad to say because from now on, the man you love has vanished! Meet our Lord Hades!'' Xia introduced while stepping closer to Ian Gabriel.

'' No, your lying! Ian is strong, and he will not allow a devil to beat him!'' I state.

'' But I already did! So if I were you, I would give up so that you can be with Ian Gabriel and the others you love,''

I was speechless hearing Ian's voice accompanied by a foreign voice.

''Claire, do not fight back; instead, join me, and I guarantee that you will love the changes I will make in this world,'' Hades affirmed.

''No! If killing every one of you is the only way for me to get Ian Gabriel and the others back, then I will!'' I answered.

I prepared myself to fight. With the strength of my wolf and the power as a witch, I will defeat Xia and the other vampires.

But I'm not sure about Ian Gabriel - Because he is the reincarnation of the God of Magic.

'' You will regret fighting me!'' Hades states.

In one second, the vampire is already circling me while their fangs and claws are all visible.

'' Your disciples can do nothing in my power!'' I yelled and waved my hand as my eyes shaded colored into glowing white.

All the vampires around me instantly flew away. But instead of being scared, Hades and Xia laughed.

''Go on, kill them! You will help me capture their souls and make me even more robust! '' Hades states while chuckling.

'' That won't happen!'' I exclaimed, and with one flick of my finger, the vampires immediately vanished into the forest.

''Brilliant! The title suits you very well- the princess of all races,'' Hades praised and started to walk closer.

''My Lord, you don't need to fight her; my strength is enough to defeat that bitch! '' Xia mumbled.

Hades wave his hand, and in a second, Xia's voice disappears.

''Now, we're where we? Ahh...right, as I said, your name suit you. But something is missing... A vampire! That's right! You're still mortal!'' Hades asserted.

I step backward, hearing his thought...

''Let's complete your title. Perhaps if you become a vampire, you will have a chance to beat the other demon lords who are roaming the world and me,''

''No! I don't need your suggestion! I can defeat all the demon lords!'' I answered, but we both knew that I was lying.

''Claire Anderson, the man you love is gone, and if you want to get him back, you need to sacrifice yourself! ''

''No! All vampires go to hell, and I don't want that to happen!'' I refused.

"Did you forget that you're a witch?! You can change back time!''

I freeze hearing Hade's word.

''Oops, I'm sorry, but you can't change what happened last year,''

Hades didn't like the grimace on my face, so he vanished in his stand, and a second, Hades appeared in front of me while his right hand strangled me.

''Say goodbye to your human world! and welcome to the world of undeath!''

I don't have time to react because Hades' hand has sunk into my chest.

(The memories of the past rush to my mind...)

And then darkness...
