Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

Rafael woke up in a dark room confused. But the moment his eyes opened, he felt light, the darkness crawling in his heart and forcing him to destroy everything was not there anymore.

Was he healed? As much as it sounded impossible, he really did not feel the pain anymore. Confused, he left his bed and went to find Hazel when he heard her shrieks coming from the other room.

Confused, he ran to the room with worry and knocked on it but it was locked. He did not wait for it to open as he used his force.

"Hazel.." he called with worry only to see that his wife was on the bed with sweat covering her body. She was holding a little girl in her arms and his eyes softened.

"Rafael.." she called him softly, "meet our daughter." the words melted him.

He felt like he was going to burst with happiness! The steps felt like centuries as he ran to her and took the child in his arms.

She was so soft, so small, so weak. He was worried that he would hurt her. So, he let her go instantly and placed her back beside Hazel who gave a strained smile to him.

But Rafael did not notice the pain in the eyes of his wife. He was so mesmerized by the infant. The baby was looking back at him with her crimson eyes that looked exactly like him but her silver hair matched Hazel.

Her nose and face had a striking resemblance to him that marveled him.  He kept staring at her without even a blink.

"Our work is done here, queen. Shall we leave?" Hazel nodded at the two young demons and then looked at Rafael who was dazed. His face was full of happiness that she did not know how to tell him.

"Then don't!" she trembled as the thought crossed her mind. Yes! She did not need to tell him or others.

She would find a way to bring her other daughter back! Somehow she would, even if she had to sell herself to her father.

Another tell fell her eyes when Stefan came closer to her and whispered into her ears, "he will never harm your daughter. He must have taken her to rule the underworld till you come. That place.. Is not that bad! Hazel, your other daughter still needs you." as if reading her mind that she wanted to exchange her life, he tried to persuade her, "Rafael needs you! If you leave, he will come after you and then all your sacrifices will be in vain."

She pushed him away with anger and resentment. He was just trying to save his life.

"Did something happen?" The question took both of their attention as they looked at Rafael who was staring back at them.

"Rafael, our daughter.."

"Is pretty, right?" Stefan cut her in and smiled at Rafael, "she looks more like you than Hazel though. And I am surprised that she was a vampire. I was sure that she would be a witch." Rafael chuckled as he touched the cheeks of the girl with his finger.

"She is so soft and small! I did not dare to hold her for long." Rafael could not help comparing. She was only upto her elbows if he held her in his hands. Her whole hand is around his finger with such soft skin.

"But she is strong. I wonder if she drinks blood or milk though?" Stefan chuckled at his foolish joke. "but…  your second child.. We could not save her."

"......." Rafael turned to look at Hazel with shock. For a second he had forgotten that she had told him she was going to have twins.

Her face was stained with blood and her eyes were red and misty. She looked heartbroken and guilty.

"Hey.. it is not your mistake. It is not…"he hugged her and rubbed her back when her silent tears turned into muffled sobs and soon she started wailing hard.

"As long as we are together, we can have as many children as you want. And we already have one daughter to be with us. Don't be disheartened, Hazel. I am always with you." he tried to assure her but the more he spoke, her guilt and pain kept increasing and she cried and cried.

"I will name her Lucy, the light that will shine our world again."

—----------------------------

In the dark lanes of the underworld where the neon light was burning on both sides making the place blazing hot.

The ground was full of thorns but when a door was opened, it was decorated with all kinds of toys that exist in the human world. It was not burning but had a cold temperature with a soft bed and all the comforts. A small baby was lying in the center of the bed. She was surrounded by a low level of demons who were making sure that she did not have any kind of difficulty.

As if sensing a new presence in the room, the baby opened her crimson eyes and stared at the devil who chuckled.

"You are sharp just like I expected you to be." he chuckled as he walked in. all the demons took a step back when he sat on the corner of the bed and touched the cheeks of the girl.

"It is a pity that you got crimson eyes from your father. I would have preferred if that would have been black like us or green like your mother." His rough hands were making sure that he touched her softly without hurting her.

The child did not cry at his hideous presence even when he had not taken the form of a human but she kept staring at her intrigued that made his eyes soften as he held the baby in his arms and announced..

"You are going to be my precious gem, a light that would help me in hell. Your name will be Lucinda."

[Hey guys, I know that story was not as perfect as it started. But I still enjoyed writing it. Thanks to all those who read it till the end. This is where the story of Hazel and Rafael ends and I wonder if any of you are interested in reading the story of twins. Tell me in the comments, should I continue the story of twins or let it end here as it is becoming boring.]
