Empress Of Dark World (Sequel To Beating Hearts)

Chapter : 25

"Don't tell me you initiated the blood trance, Ave?!" Joshua asked looking me in the eyes horrified.

"What, I did no such thing of that sort...I don't even know what you are talking about" I replied honestly. I agree something happened to me in the heat of moment, I didn't know what I was doing.

"Her body is warming up, which for a Vampier is a sign of nearing death and not to mention the black tint to her skin which now is slowly draining her off colour. Surely I have seen cases of vampier deaths and it's common for the body to heat up but the discolouration of skin up to this extent is new and out of my understanding" Joshua explained.

"What should we do then Joshua ?" I asked to which he shook his head.

"I have no idea, this is something I am witnessing for the first time here. I have only heard of this Ave in stories passed on to me through witches I had spent my days with while I was in London doing my MD...It seems to me that you initiated a blood trance, the power of which was immense and that Regina couldn't take it, resulting into her collapse" and I believe this is where I admit that I am scared of myself, of what I am capable of.

'Oh don't be such a softie, this power is yours and all you need to learn is controlling them as for Regina, don't you worry she will be fine...I guess, erhhh I hope' I heard the voice in my head again and I can't believe the audacity!!

"Shut up, just shut the hell up!!" I screamed in my head at the voice which I knew was of no use, "Just please let me handle this my way, I don't need your input in this matter" I was trying my best to be civil with the voice inside my head.

"Well then who should we turn to for insight in this matter ??" I asked him, clearly he had no information on whatever this is and I figured we would need an expert on this matter.

"I am not sure if I can find someone where we live, I am afraid we will have to travel back to London, there's someone I know back there who can help us and I think she is the only one who will provide us with some valuable insight" He revealed and by the looks of it he was dreading the very thought of it.

"England ?? Alright then I will go, you should stay back here with Regina" I suggested to which he sighed.

"No no no nooo...I will join you Ave, it's not safe there and besides that the people I am talking about...let's just say they are not really human like in behavior, you won't survivor them a minute" he disclosed.

"Joshua, someone needs to be here with Regina and I don't know anything about treating vampires or else I would have stayed behind, you are needed here and I am pretty sure I can take care of myself" I assured him and he still was against off letting me go there alone.

After a hell lot of convincing finally he agreed but that was on one condition, I would only be allowed to leave if I let Charles accompany me, "Charles grew up there between them and he knows his way around the city, take him with you and search for Elvyra" he said looking me up in eyes.

"What sort of name is that and who is she again ??" I questioned him requiring more information on this person.

"Ever heard of Sodom ??" He asked me.

"As in Sodom and Gomorrah from the Bible, both destroyed by Lord" I replied to which with a slight tilt of his head he smirked.

"Impressive" he comments, "Elvyra was born there to a family of witches, her ancestors were promised power by Moon Goddess and when Sodom was being destroyed she managed to escape the destruction, she is the oldest one among us all and is well respected by witches, vampires and all others" Joshua shared, it was a big thing for me to know that.

"Woww that was a lot to digest, how can she prove that ?? I mean for all we know she can just be over 100 years old" I had my doubts okay!!

"Oh for God's sake Ave, do you want to save Regina or not ?!" and well ladies and gentlemen that's how we pull the last existing nerve. He was truly annoyed!!

"Right then, I will start packing" that said I was out of the bedroom.
