64 64. The scream

"Did you hear that scream mother?"

Charlotte asked looking up to meet her mother's eyes, her brows furrowed in confusion. She was helping her mother sew new clothes for the king and they were both seated on an armchair close to the fireplace enjoying the evening breeze. The palace had never felt so calm and serene for a long time. They were discussing and enjoying the night together before the screams startled them.

They were in there own little home in the palace and as such the screams were louder to them. Very much loud.

"Oh my God." Sarah grinned standing up but not letting the clothes drop. The robe she was sewing belonged to her king. "She has been bound."

Sarah said all smiles and her daughter looked at her irritatedly. Her brows lifted up In confusion her face contorted. "What do you mean by she has been bound, who has?"

"Lucius has been bound to his soulmate that human girl he brought. The one you sent clothes to. Don't you remember her?"

"You've got to be kidding me of course I do remember her. Who could forget someone so weak and clueless." Charlotte scoffed rolling her eyes in disgust. "Mother, you know what this means! We are going to have a human Queen by morning. A human cannot be our Queen mum." Charlotte shouted pacing. "This is unbelievable we are done for! There is no way we can win this war now with her as Queen. What is Lucius thinking? I saw her and there was nothing special about her absolutely nothing, she was just another African girl."

"You don't even know her and you've concluded that there is nothing special about her after you've seen her for only one minute or two. Charlotte my dear I never expected you to be so judgemental."

"Mother I'm not. I'm only looking out for us, for this kingdom. You and me know that vampires do not serve weakness they prey on them."

"That she's human doesn't mean she's weak." Sarah said sitting back down on her arm chair. Her daughter just killed her happiness. "Don't you want the king to be happy, for so long he has lived his life for us. He too deserves a mate."

"Not a human mate mum." Charlotte insisted. She was the one who jumped up from her chair now too tensed and angry to seat. "And she's nobody. Nobody as a human. If he wanted a nobody other than that bitch Clara, why didn't he come to me. I've worked for him faithful all this time. We could work at least I'm no mortal."

Sarah chuckled then she laughed. "You've got to be kidding me, the king and you. Common!"
