Chapter-14 Part-2 Sweet Blood

I wake up with a slight headache.

" Forgive me, but this is as far as I can go. The portal will close soon, and I want to be on my master's side when things become more complicated ." says the woman's voice that sounded familiar to me.

Then I felt my body in a cold soiled ground.

" I understand, we will be fine here, Moira, thank you, " said the other voice that sounded just next to me.

I slowly opened my eyes and saw Martha's worried face staring back at me.

" Martha? What are you doing here? " I asked her very much confused.

The last time I remember her was the day before my happy birthday.

It was the day that she also predict that I will meet my soulmate in Thrust Academy.

But wait?!

Isn't it today?!

Confused I stood up, and I almost fall on the ground,

Luckily Martha is one hell of a girls scout.

She quickly stood up and held me steady.

" Easy now, Maricella, you have to be very careful with your movements. "

" I'm fine, Martha, but why are we here? " I wonder how on earth did I get so close with Martha like we already become friends.

It seems like Martha can read my mind; she smiled at me.

"I know there's a lot of confusing thoughts running on your head right now, and I promised to answer it all, but for now, we need to head south.

We're in the middle of an imminent war.

We must find a way to stop it." Martha ushered her to move, but it only confuses her more. Nothing from what Martha is blabbering about make sense to her at all.

"Wait, Martha, stop?! What the heck is going on ?! Why am I even here in the first place?!

Fuck! Ouch!"

I grimace when a ripples of headache erupt in my head.

I can see the troubled look on Martha's face. She tried to open and closed her mouth, but nothing came out of it.

I stared at her very puzzled by her actions.

All I can remember was bidding goodbye to my parents and riding in the school bus going to Thrust Academy.

Aside from that, I don't remember anything else.

She stop on track and helplessly gazed at me before scanning the surrounding.

"I'm sorry, Maricella.

I swear to explain everything to you later.

But now this can't be helped," and with that, she shout with all her might.

" Prince Dalton, anyone?! We're here! " She shouted that made my eyes widened in shocked.

One thing that captured by my sensitive hearing was a name she called "Prince Dalton."

Mumbling his name in my tongue made my heart pound erratically.

What the hell?!

There's probably something much wrong with me.

After a few seconds later, the rustling sound of trees caught my attention. Thousands of footsteps marching on the ground followed it. The dried leaves and small tree branches laying on the soil make a crunching sound.

Hearing those heavy footsteps marching towards our direction makes me feel anxious.

My first instinct is to stand on a defensive mode and I expect Martha to do the same but to my surprise when I glance to her she looked calm.

Like she's already know whomever is approaching us.

When I finally saw who is marching towards us, My worries turn into shock when I saw an army of Demon, some resembled the mortals, but some remain in their demon form.

They stop in front of us and in unison bowed their heads when they saw me.

Ohh dear am I dreaming!

My nerves are killing me, and my tummy started to hurt.

I rubbed my hands on it to ease the pain, but I was even more baffled when I felt a small bump on it.

Wait?

Did I gain more kilo?

I am not yet done examining myself when I saw the swarm of demon army greeted me.

"Princess Maricella, We finally found you" There's a hint of concern in their voice.

Shit! What's happening here?!

Speechless, I turn my head to look for a possible answer from Martha. She gave me a reassuring look which started to annoy me.

When I glance back to the swarm of armored army in front of me, I don't know anymore what to think.

Everything doesn't makes sense.

Why the fuck are they calling me Princess?! And why even Martha looks so calm?!

Damn it!

All I know is that I'm just a lowly immortals unappealing to my kind, and now I become a Princess?!

How on earth was that even possible?

Wait?! Maybe I'm just dreaming.

Hell yeah, that's right, this all a dream a fucking dream that look so real.

" Hey, Martha, can you pinch me? Please wake me up. It's freaking me out!" I pleaded to her before grabbing Martha's arms and encircle it with mine.

" Oh dear, I wish this is just a dream, but sadly it's all real. I'll explain everything to you later, ok?!" She said to me and gripped my arms tighter.

Dumbfounded, I look at her like Martha grows two heads.

But her determine face revealed everything.

"Fuck! This is all real?! " I utter. I could feel Martha's rapid heart beating and her skin is sweating in cold.

It is indeed real?!

" Make way! " A demon from the flock of army in front of me shouted out. I still want to interrogate Martha but my attention went back to them.

I saw them split in two group I heard two beating hearts and rush footstep towards us.

A lump form on my throat, waiting for them to came in my view.

My heart leaps in happiness when I saw who's running; it's my mom and dad!

Relief flooded my mind seeing them. I released my arms around Martha and sprint to meet them half way.

I was quickly ingulf with my parents warm comforting hug.

"Ohh my baby, did he hurt you?! How did you guys escaped?! Ohh god it doesn't matter anymore!

I'm so happy your free " My mom mumble incoherently while crying.

I pull my self out of their hug and stared at both of them with a perplex look.

" Princess don't you remember anything? " My dad notice right away that something is not ok with me.

" I honestly don't know why I'm here Dad, I—i can't remember a thing?! " I nod my head on both side.

I was so troubled with everything that I start to cry.

My dad quickly pull me in a hug murmuring soothing words in my ears to calm me down.

"Oh princess, it's all right we will fixed this. Don't worry we're here now." My dad said while caressing my hair.

I was so happy seeing them that it doesn't matter anymore if I don't remember why I'm here in the first place.

I glance around and caught someone staring at me so intently.

I saw a man with jet black hair and quite outstanding look from all the demons around.

He is standing a few meters apart from my dad.

When I meet his gazes It's like I'm lost in those pitch black orbs and I was brought in a different kind of space.

My heart skip a beat and my mouth watered.

A warm feeling inside of me started to ignites.

I sniff the air when the wind blew on me and an irresistible scent hit my nose that my eyes naturally closed familiarizing myself to its smell.

I  pull out of my dads warm hug and start walking around trying to figure out where that scent coming from.

I strode around until I end up in front of the guy who was staring at me intently.

When I gaze up I can't phantom why I'm seeing in those dark orbs a glimpse of love and admiration while staring at me. Am I being played by my sight or does he knows me?

Like my hand has its own mind It itch it's way to caress his cheek,wanting to ease the pain,longing and worries that made the Demons forehead etched with lines.

His thick brows furrowed but it never lessen his enigmatic look. In fact he looked more manly and appealing in my eyes.

"Those scent,it's coming from you." I declare.

Relief flooded his face as he smiled at me while leaning his head on my palm.

"Yes my love it's me, Dalton. I finally find you." I was shocked when the demon engulf me in a tight hug without my permission. My face buried on his chest.

Goddess! those scent it's killing me!

The heat coming from his body made the warm feeling inside of me completely spread in my entire body.

I pulled my self a little giving us some space but when I scanned the surrounding I saw red everywhere.

I started to crave for something I can't figure out but those two pulsating veins in the crook of this demons neck is very disturbing before I knew it, my arms snake it's way to the back of his head I felt my fang elongated as I lick his exposed skin. I felt the demon shudder in delight but what he didn't expected is my next move.

I bite him.

I moan in delight sucking the most sweetest blood I ever taste.

Everyone was stunned from what I did,except Martha.

I heard the Demon who called me 'my love' just a few seconds ago cursed incoherent words.

But before I could even register everything that was happening to me ,I felt my world start spinning around until the light dim, their voice become so distant and before I knew it I was consumed by the darkness.
