Maria threw her head back in frustration. It had been almost an hour since Adam and the princess went to their tent to 'have a discussion', they were running out of time. Every minute Ella was not in the snowlands was a minute that delayed their plans to take back their home from the humans.
Maria had volunteered to go to the central kingdoms a little over eighty years ago to keep an eye on the princess. At the time all she knew was that the princess had red hair and blue eyes, thank the gods there was no human who had those traits except for Ella, who at the time was named Carmilla.
Maria willingly took on the task in spite of her hatred for humans because of her ailing mother. The woman had been born and raised when the races all lived as one, when the nosferatu had hundreds of animals to choose from in terms of nourishment and blood, it was an easier more beautiful time.
