Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

Though Hazel took a breath of relief that it was not Rafael who had called her, her body still shook with fear as she did not know what.

The girl was beautiful just like the one she had met in the carriage before. Hazel gulped and looked away. At least, she would not look into the eyes of the witch in case she would hypnotize her again.

"Oh! I would have come out. But the door of the carriage was locked by him and I could not open it! Can you please go and ask him for the key?" with a soft voice, she pleaded but it instantly brought a frown on the face of the witch who was irked by the answer.

She tilted her head as she saw the vicious smile on the face of the Vampire who was strangling her friend.

If she would not be able to use hazel then she would not have any upper hand against him. If it continued, the next would be her turn to die!

"Why would that be needed? I can open the door by myself!" with a soft voice that was so eerie that it would raise all the hair of hazel, the woman gave a creepy smile to her.

"That.. I think.`` Before Hazel could deny, the long nail that must be a few inches was placed in the locked hole and she tilted it enough for the door to be opened that only widened the smirk of the witch.

Hazel starred as the witch opened the door and stared at her face as if she was her winning trophy!

``Relax, her body is as weak as a human!'' Hazel was already holding the pitcher she was trying to fill with the water again.

Just as the witch entered, Hazel threw the pitcher over her head that stunned her.

She was not expecting an attack from a foolish girl and was caught off guard by the sudden attack.

Her eyes turned red with rage when she touched her forehead only to feel the wet and sticky liquid coming out of it.

The stench of her blood filled the whole carriage and hazel gulped when she noticed all her nails growing large enough that each of them were enough to pierce her neck.

Gulping, she ran out of the carriage with the fear that the witch would be able to catch up to her soon.

But before she could run away, the girl had already taken hold of her ankle. Hazel was almost tripped but she held the door for maintaining her balance.

When she turned, the beautiful face of the girl was nowhere to be seen. Her face had turned malicious and a wicked smile was on her face.

"Do you think you can run away from me? Am I a fool to you?" Hazel gulped as she felt her nails digging deep into her skin.

She was maintaining her balance on one foot and if the witch let go of her suddenly, she would fall. And she did not even want to imagine what would happen if the witch did not let go of her.

"No! I am only going to my brother as you have asked me to! The pitcher, it just fell from my hands as I was shocked to see your nails.

I.. I did not want to hurt you!" Hazel's eyes were already scanning for the solution while she made the lamest excuse that even the witch started to chuckle with amusement.

"And you want me to believe it! Why don't you come closer and I will show you how my nails work!" She tilted her head as she increased the pressure and her nails started to dig in Hazel's ankle with force while a creepy smile formed on her face that made Hazel feel nauseous but at the same time she winced due to the increasing pain.

She closed her eyes and started to think of ways to get rid of her when she felt strange pressure on her body. As if someone was trying to crush her ribs. The pain was so much that sweat started to form all over her body.

Her eyes contorted and her whole body started to turn pale. The witch who was still enjoying playing with hazel frowned when she felt the sudden change in her.

"You! What are you?" her eyes widened and her grip on hazel loosened.

The pain was already too much for her to bear, so when her foot was released, she fell out of the carriage, stumbling on the carriage step.

With the thud, when she fell down, she noticed Rafael was walking towards her.

"Are you okay?"

Though his eyes were cold and full of frost, she felt a tinge of concern in his voice as she nodded her head.

His face was so scary that she wanted to take a step back. His fangs were out and drops of blood could be seen in the corner of his mouth.

She tilted her head to see two bodies lying on the ground with white faces as if there was not a single drop of blood in her body.

"Stay here!" He held her and made her sit on the nearest rock when he entered. but when he opened the door of the carriage, it was empty.

"She must have run from the other side!" he muttered as the door of the other side was swinging in the air.

Just as they were talking, another carriage stopped by and the count came out of it.

He ran towards them with worried expressions on his face.

Giving a side glance to the girl who was still sitting on the rock with a dreadful face, he walked towards Rafael who was wiping the blood from his index finger and then licked it clean with his mouth.

"My lord, are you okay!" Rafael chuckled as if he had heard a joke but then the smile vanished and his face turned cold.

"Why do I think that the ambush was planned? As if they knew that I was going to come?"
