Chapter 12

Deva looked at the tray, it was warm milk, porridge and some bread. Anna was right she was really famished.

"I'll feed you.."

Slyvian took the tray from Deva laps and used his eyes to chase Anna way so he could sit next to Deva.

Anna humphed just who did he think he was.

"Don't worry..I can feed myself."

Devatried to take the tray but Slyvian refused to budge, he brought the bowl to his lips and started blowing it.

What a sight to behold, Deva felt so mesmerized that she didn't even want to collect the tray anymore. She just laid down waiting for Slyvian to feed her.

"Open your mouth.."

Deva opened her mouth and tasted the porridge, it was simply amazing did she had magic to make it this delicious or was she just a good cook.

Anna slowly disappeared from the room and went to her bookshelf, she wanted to check if there was information concerning Deva's case.

The sooner they found out what her illness was the sooner they found a cure.

Deva just kept opening her mouth whenever Slyvian said so and soon the porridge had slowly disappeared. Deva drank the warm milk which made her insides feel warm and mushy.

This was one of the best meal she had ever had. Now that she had eaten to her fill, Deva finally asked about Ethan. "What about Ethan does he know we're here..."

Slyvian nodded although he didn't tell Ethan directly he knew Ethan would know he'd be here.

"Then are we going to go back to the castle.."

Slyvian shook his head there was no need for them to go back, Ethan would bring their things and they would go directly to Ashford.

"No we won't be going back to Ravendor we're going to Ashford..."

Ashford the birthplace of vampires Deva heart quivered, why were they going there was that Slyvian's home.

"Scared?.."

Slyvian licked his lips, he liked it when is little lamb was afraid then she would stick to him more.

Deva quickly shook her head and swallowed the uneasiness she was feeling.."Why would I be afraid.." her expression was so serious that Slyvian couldn't help but chuckle.

"Alright...alright little rabbit I know you're very brave..."

Deva nodded she was very brave it just that she felt uncomfortable knowing she was soon going to be surrounded by blood sucking creatures.

Ethan arrived the following morning, but he didn't enter the carriage as Anna didn't allow me to. He only stopped at the entrance and waited for Slyvian and Deva to come out.

Anna gave Deva one of her dress as Abi's was stained with blood, Slyvian felt Deva looked like an angel when she wore white.

Anna didn't follow them and stopped halfway when they had begun to see the carriage.

"To Ashford..if those witches took Damien's body then they must definitely be planing something.."

Ethan nodded and told the driver where they were going to, Slyvian didn't let him stay inside with him and Deva so he could only sit with the driver and be on the lookout for danger.

"Have you ever been outside Ravendor.."

Slyvian asked as Deva eyesight left the window and landed on him, she shook her head softly until she met him she had never left her little cottage.

"Then I'll make sure you see some sights on the way to Ashford..."

Deva eyes brightened and she nodded happily, she was looking forward to see the sights Slyvian was going to show her.

Slyvian smiled and stroked the ring on his finger when they got to Ashford he would give her a very special gift, he had been itching to give her what he could never give her a long time ago.

Meanwhile in a cavern different voices could be heard, it seemed like they were having a meeting and had broken into a argument.

"Damien! We refuse to accept this proposal don't forget we brought you back from the dead.."

"Who ever said I was dead, this was all part of even greater plan..I merely stopped by heart for a few days so in a way i was really dead. But you can forget about the that thour if bringing me back to life..."

The women immediately fell quiet as the man sitting on the throne smiled, revealing a set of pearly white fangs, his hair slicked back and his eyes were redder than blood.

He glanced at all the women in his midst, even if wasn't for the fact that they were witches he would have long drank their bloods.

The blood of women were always sweeter than a man's.

"If you refuse to join me then you're automatically my enemy and no potion will save you from my wrath.."

The witches frowned he was threatening them in their own place wasn't he afraid that they would kill him right on the spot.

"We have to take permission from our Queen until she gives us a go ahead you can forget about our alliance.."

The smile on Damien's face gradually turned into a frown, their Queen the lady of the west, she was very mysterious and good at disguising herself. No one had seen her in years.

"If I find your Queen I will kill her and I will kill those of you who refused to follow me..."

Damien stirred the blood in the glass cup, his eyes revealing a deadly gleam, he would someone as a scapegoat so others will wisen up.

"If your willing to join me..stand behind my throne,those waiting for their queen stay where you are..."

Slowly feet's began to move and soon the percent of witches waiting for the Queen had decreased tremendously, leaving behind only five percent.

"Listen well...all of you are not betrayals of the queen..don't you dare let us see your face in the Moon cavern or else.."

With that the witch with crimson red hair threw a potion on the ground and they disappeared.

The witches who joined Damien gulped they had become outcasts within the blink of an eye in the future no one would care about their deaths.

"Leave my presence now half I you will go look for your queen and the remaining of you will go pay a visit to my dearest brother and bring the girl that's with him.."

Since he loved her so much he should died in her place, knowing Slyvian personality he would do it in an heartbeat.

"Go! Go..hehe go..my pay my brother a visit!.."

Damien laughed he could smell bloodshed already..
