Cursed Blood | Chaelisa

Chapter 47.

The next moment, I was blindfolded and herded out of the house into a car.

Someone commanded the driver, "Go!"

I heard tires squeaking over the pavement as they took me closer to my death. Then there was a sound of a phone conversation, "We've got the half-blood, your highness. Everything is according to your plan. Now we are on our way."

I didn't need to guess whom the guy was talking to. As the car turned right and then left and then right again, I had lost the direction. Then they stopped after a long while later. The doors opened, and someone pulled me from my seat.

I was waiting for this and when I got out, I kicked one of them in the gut. Even blindfolded, I made pretty good contacts between my shoes and their heads. They yelped and stumbled, but it didn't last. Several other vampires gripped me and dragged me forward. Then I heard the sounds of our feet echoing in a huge, hollow place.

They unfolded my eyes again, and I winced at the sudden brightness of the light.

We were in an abandoned warehouse that looked like it was once a colonial mansion. There were loads of wooden boxes and shipping goods stacking around the place. I could smell oil tanks and dust and dried wood.

This group of vampires continued to bustle me across the hall, clamping various parts of my body towards a metal bed in the middle of the building.

As I struggled to fight back, I heard another door open, and suddenly I could hear a symphony of excited voices. I started to buck wildly as hard as I could until one of them stuck me with a needle. I winced and felt a wave of dizziness float into my head. And I was lifted successfully onto the bed.

Seconds later, all of my limbs were bound with iron chains and thick leather straps. My heart pounded against my ribs.

"Oh, look who's here?" A smooth voice came around from behind. I turned my head to see a tall man in an elegant black suit. My freaked heart almost exploded out of my chest. Standing beside me was Viktor.

I felt myself burning with flames of anger and hatred. Whatever they had injected into my vein was no longer effective now. I yelled the only thing I was sure of.

"You killed my father!"

"Whoa... my dear niece," Viktor said. "You know too much for a young girl. It reminds me of someone... ah... almost forgot - Vladimir, my brother. I'm sure he would be so proud of you."

"You know what?" I hissed. "The first chance I get, I will rip you to shreds!"

I could see Viktor's eyes blaze with cold anger.

"Sadly, you're the one I'm going to get rid of," Viktor said, "Prepare for your worst nightmare to come true, my dear."

Then he laughed acidly.

"I knew you wanted my father dead," I said. "You wanted to be the heir, didn't you?"

"Of course, an heir to the Russain throne, what's not to like?" He said, "Your father was always the golden son, the perfect prince in everyone's eyes. The only mistake he made was falling in love with a human. I wouldn't let that opportunity slip from my hands, a golden opportunity to take everything away from him. I don't just want Russia, in fact, I don't even want to be king, but the present King of the Underworld is too weak and too old. He let the humans run the planet even we are stronger than them. He might as well be dead! Once the immortals rise back from their hibernation, I will unite the vampires and rule over both worlds."

"You want to enslave the human race?" I said.

"That's my five-year plan, sweetie," he laughed. "I will raid the earth and create a new one."
