Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

"Anne!" Hazel furrowed her brows when she saw her sister in the dark woods standing alone. She was sure that Anne had not participated in the hunt, "wait! Are you here because of me?" she asked with certainty and then shook her head.

"You should not have taken so much risk. I am fine. I am going to return soon anyways." she said with a warm smile on her face. She looked happier that Anne came following her though she knew that it might go against the rules.

But when she walked closer to her sister, she noticed that Anne was not talking and her face looked paler,

"Did something happen? Why do you look so pale!" asked Hazel, finally finding the stain on her clothes.

She would have thought that it belonged to some animal she had hunted on her way if she did not look scared.

Anne finally stared back at her sister who looked worried for her. Yes! She was a dark witch. She was the strongest of them. She could not be killed that easily.

"Anne!" Hazel shook her sister hard when she noticed she was still in a trance.

Her pupil was moving with such force while she was staring at her.

"What happened to you?" she asked again when Anne blinked. Her simple words were enough to tremble her again and she finally burst into tears.

"I.. I was looking for you when I followed the dark energy and.. I do not know how I stumbled into those men and now Declan is with them. They will kill him.

They have already beaten him enough that he would not be able to survive for long." though she was stammering and her words were incoherent, Hazel understood whom she was talking about.

His eyes narrowed! She did not need to be told why they had caught Declan.

"But why are you both here and how did they know that you are related to me?" she asked with a frown but then sighed when she noticed the fearful expression of Anne.

"Now it is not the time to think about all this. Since they have captured him, we should hurry up and save him." she held the hands of Anne tightly as if she was trying to give her some strength when the woman looked at Hazel with stern eyes.

"No! That could be dangerous. They are stronger than I thought and I did not know what they had planned for you." she shook her head.

Just when hazel wanted to tell her that she would be able to handle that, Anne held her hands and stared back into her eyes,

"I am here to ask you to use the spell of disguise on me."

"......."

"If you will change my face.. They would not be able to know. You have to run with Declan when he is freed while I keep them busy.`` Hazel shook her head at once.

"They are not fools, Anne and if it is about keeping them busier, then I would be the better person to do so. You have to help Declan" she said with a stern voice as she held the hands of Anne. "Now we do not have time to waste in an argument , do we?"

Anne shook her head again but she knew that it was of no use. Hazel was not going to listen to her. She had decided to leave.

"Now spell it! Open the portal where they are, we do not have much time left.`` She dragged her sister and forced her to stand on her feet.

Anne was still not convinced about dragging Hazel into danger, but she knew that Hazel was not going to listen to her anymore.

She took a deep breath as she decided in her heart to save her sister even if she had to sacrifice her own life for that.

Her eyes blazed with the desire to take revenge as she opened her eyes again,

She drew the portal that was a bit far away from where the men were.

Hazel followed her and soon they were on the other side.

She scanned the area but she could not see those demons. Their leader gave her a creepy feeling.

"They are far away! We have to decide on a plan of attack first!" said Anne when Hazel turned to her sister with a smirk on her face.

"That is the Anne I know!" no matter what, they would face the situation with strength and boldness. "Now we will fry them like shrimps." she smiled as she held the hands of Anne and her lips moved into another spell.

Soon a small leaf came out from the land beneath them and in just a few seconds it turned into a large and long tree.

They both were one of its branches. Since it was higher, they were able to see their enemy.

They could not see Declan at once but the other men were sitting in a circle in front of the fire.

They were grilling the wolf hunted by hazel and eating it while talking to each other as if they were devising a plan to kill her later.

They laughed as if it was all a joke when Anne felt her blood boil.

"He is there!" Instead of paying attention to their chatter, Hazel continued to look for the man and found him bound to the tree on the other side.

At least it was comfortable enough for him to be sitting. Though his face was stained with blood, he did not look in that much pain as he was staring at them as if he was trying to hear what they were talking about.

Their leader was standing at the other side and looking into their direction as if he could sense their presence, then it would only be a matter of time when he would find them.

"He looks fine and I am sure he will be able to run at a distance until you open a teleportation circle for him." said Hazel with a pause, "now that he is fine, shall we prepare our strategy for the attack?"
