Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

Lucian stared at the door he had broken and  pulled out a part of the door and took out the wood from there. Using the clothes of the assailants who were killed, he poured alcohol in it and used his hands to create a small flame to light the torch when he heard a strong sound from the room.

It felt like something burst suddenly.

His eyes widened and he ran back in only to find a body on the ground. Blood was splattered all around the ground while covering the girl who was standing in front of it.

As if more than a hundred holes were made into the body. Blood was coming out of every hole to the limit that it could not be identified if the body was of a human or not.

He stared back at the girl horrified. The condition of the body was…! She was staring at the body without even a blink when he noticed the fading silver light in her eyes and if he had any doubts before, they all cleared as if the first ray of sun had cleared the mist and clouds that were covering the large forest.

"Hazel!" he whispered slowly as he knew that he would end up in the same condition if he did not tread carefully around her.

She did not seem to be in control of her powers and she had one hell of a power. With trembling hands, he moved to touch her arms while whispering her name again.

"Hazel!" He could see the fear filling the eyes of the kids who did not even dare to take breaths loudly, afraid that the monster standing there would end up killing them gruesomely too.

"Hazel, the kids are getting afraid!" he gulped his saliva as he spoke in a low voice.

She was not reacting to his voice but if she would not react, he did not know what her powers would do to her. He had never seen this kind of case before.

Had she lost control or was she too agitated and gone berserk? Now he could only hope that she still cared about the kids in her unconscious mind.

He stared at her with a pleading gaze when he touched her again.

The girl finally blinked and tilted her head to stare at the kids who flinched and took a step back.

"I.. I did not want to scare you. I am here to take you away from this place. I am here to save you from this hell. He was a bad man who wanted to hurt you. I.. I will never hurt all of you." she panicked and explained herself but it didn't look like her words were affecting the kids since they did not move an inch.

They continued to hold each other's hands while huddling in a corner to keep themselves away from her touch.

"......." she stared at the kids and then at the body. In her mind, she felt like it had happened before but she could not remember when! And how?

How did this happen? She only remembered that she felt a reflection behind her and turned only to see a man attacking him and instinctively holding his hands to save herself but in the next moment.. His body.. She was sure that she was not the one who did it! Then how in the world did it happen?

If she would have been the spectator, she would have felt the same like kids and Lucian. But even if she would tell them that she was not the one who did it.. They are not going to believe her.

She gulped as she stared at Lucian with a look of helplessness in her eyes as she did not know what to do. She was not a monster, she was not a witch! She was a human!

Lucian sighed as he ran a hand in his hair, he had unconsciously behaved warily of her that scared her more.

She was looking on the verge of tears with that vulnerable look on her face. Who would believe that she had immeasurable strength and power that could destroy the cities like she had destroyed the man.

No! Forget about others, even she would not believe in it. But if he told her now, she would be scared.

"Let's get out of this place first. Who knows if they have other comrades who are going to come back soon." on the way back, he would explain to her and tell her who she was when she would be feeling better.

What if he would tell her now and she would go berserk.

Passing her the torch when she nodded, he placed his hands in the pocket and closed his eyes. But when he took it out, there were some candies in his hands.

He walked towards the kids and crouched down in front of them so that he could meet their eyes. The kids stared back at him with vigilant eyes but did not flinch or tried to run away.

"I know that you all are afraid and confused. I would have been the same if I had been at your place.

But you have to trust us that we are good people. We have come this far to save you and killed all of them so that we can take you away.

But if you still did not want to come with us then the choice is yours. We will not force you but then we can not assure you if more of them come and hurt you.

And we do not have much time. So, you have to make the decision, do you want to trust the strangers who had risked their life to save you or you think that you can survive on your own after leaving this place?

But if you want to come with me, you have to apologize to the girl there. Since she was the one who cared for all of you to force me to help her in saving all of you."
