Liam's POV
I asked of Avery and discovered she went to the temple. She didn't even inform me before leaving. I heard a call in my head. The only one that has the ability to call me is Isla but she's dead and Avery once did it though am yet to discover how she did that. I covered my head with my hoodie and disappeared only to appear in a dark room.
"My husband will kill you. The monster king will shred you into bits so stay away from me" Avery said
"We've chatted enough, it's time to eat" The vampire replied.
"She didn't lie" I said and stabbed the vampire's heart and he screamed in pain along with Avery. What's happening?
"Prince of hell" The vampire said with a smirk.
"She's one of us" He said and took his last breath.
"Avery" I called and shook her body but she didn't respond. I heard her heartbeat and sighed in relief. She's still alive. There's another heartbeat in this room. I turned to see a small boy looking at me frighteningly.
"Forget whatever you just saw" I said and placed my Palm on his forehead. Penelope will be here by the time she perceives the stench of this vampire. I carried Avery and disappeared. I appeared in our room and laid her on the bed. How's she able to feel that vampire's pain.
I went to the dungeon to meet my latest prisoner.
"Who's your master?"I asked and my claws became sharper
"I'll tell you" He said and I nodded.
"My master is...ahh" He screamed and blood bursted out of his ears and nose then he took his last breath. He must have taken an oath not to reveal who his master is and when he tried doing so, the oath killed him. Who is messing with me?
Penelope's POV
I watched the servants give food to the people when I perceived that smell. A vampire is here. I walked to the direction the smell was coming from. I held my dagger and used my foot to kick the door open. I saw the vampire lying lifeless on the floor and a small boy who was just staring into space. He must have gotten lost. I sniffed Avery and Liam's scent in the air. I get what happened here. Avery must have been attacked by the vampire and Liam came and saved her. I took the boy to where the other villagers were staying and his mother recognised him immediately. How did a vampire penetrate this temple? Vampires are scared of crucifix and holy water which is why they can't go into a temple. Something is not right here. I saw a lady coming out of the temple. She wasn't among the rescued villagers so I approached her.
"I want to meet the priest in this temple" I said and she told me to follow her.
"The priest is here" She said and pointed at a room.
"You can go" I said and she nodded.
I opened the door and saw the priest, his eyes were closed and he was holding a cross.
"You should knock before entering a room that isn't yours, young lady" He said and I rolled my eyes.
"I just saw a vampire in the temple. How's that possible? Aren't these crucifix and holy water supposed to scare them away?"I asked.
"Am shocked to hear that a vampire penetrated the walls of this temple. We've sprinkled holy water on every corner of the temple" He said.
"Then how did one manage to get in?"I asked him and he shook his head.
"I have no answer to that" He replied.
"Well, I do" I said and walked closer to him.
"That vampire managed to get in because you the priest, are a vampire" I said and he smirked.
"You're a vampire and one of you just got killed, there are more in this temple, am I right?"I asked.
"You're not wrong" He replied.
The villagers are in danger. I turned to leave the room when he attacked me and I defended myself. I used my dagger to slash his arm and the injury closed up.
"You're a pure blood" I said and he smirked.
Liam's POV
I went to the room and saw Avery still sleeping. I was about to leave when she shouted and held her arm. She screamed in pain again and held her chest. A vampire is being attacked. I teleported to the temple and saw the villagers lying dead and blood was splattered on the walls and floor but they were few. Meaning some were taken alive. I heard a sound and teleported to a room only to be blocked by a young lady.
"You're a witch" I said and she smiled.
"You really are the Prince of hell" She said and disappeared. I entered the room where the sound was coming from and saw Penelope fighting a vampire.
"Stop, Penelope" I ordered.
"Why should I ?" She asked with a frown.
"Because his mate takes double of the pain inflicted on me" The vampire said and jumped out of the window.
"What is he saying, Liam?" Penelope asked.
"Avery is my mate" I said.
"You getting married to Avery doesn't make her your mate. Isla is dead, can't you get over it?" She asked.
"Avery might be a reincarnation of Isla" I said.
"Now how is She connected to the vampires?"She asked.
"That's what we'll discover " I replied.
"The villagers?"She asked.
"They're dead and some are missing"I replied.
"This vampires have a strong back up we don't know of" She said.
"The vampire you captured is dead. He died when he was about to reveal his master. They're under an oath. If they try revealing their master, they will die" I said.
"Am going to meet Eric, the hunters need to get to work as soon as possible and am getting the potions from Silas today. With the way they're growing, they will conquer every kingdom in no time" She said and I nodded.
"Can we borrow help from hell?"She asked.
"Am not allowed to do that" I replied and disappeared.
