AWAKEN DEVIL (SAMPLE)

Chapter 4

Caroline's thirst for her blood was not because she is hungry for human blood but because of the thought of how protective Zanuel felt about her.

She always wished to be the one to be on his mind but he never once looked at her that way and this girl, who is nothing but a stranger is running through his mind and ruling over his mind.

Caroline dug her fangs deep into her neck, as her jealousy run through her body, she wanted to drink every single drop from her body until she felt satisfied, she didn't feel sorry as she sucked the blood out of her body. 

Margaret, came running to the hallway holding a silver rod in her hand, and with just one hit, Caroline moved away from Denisa, her back burning and turning red while the maids held Denisa in their arms pressing down her neck with a cloth to stop the blood dripping and drenching her dress. 

"How dare you?" Caroline lost her temper as her back burned, making her feel unbearable pain, she walks closer to Margaret but didn't get any closer as other maids came running with the same silver rods in their hands, she glares at her in disgust and vanished from the palace. 

"My Lady, you okay?" Margaret inquired looking at Denisa, she stood still, frozen, blood dripping from her neck. The maids held her tight, and takes her to Zanuel's room, and tended her neck to stop the bleeding. 

The physician was disinfecting her neck, while she lay on the bed like a stone, not moving, but hardly breathing to stay alive, she then slowly turns her head towards the maids, she hardly looked aged, her hair tied into a bun as she wore a beautiful brown gown matching her eyes.

"Who was that blood-sucking creature?" Denisa finally broke her silence when her eyes land on Margaret who saved her from Caroline. 

Margaret was waiting for her to speak, she couldn't afford anything to happen to her.

"She's Caroline, she's one of the followers of the lord," she says, her eyes filled with guilt of not being able to save her from all this happening to her.

Denisa looks at her and only she looked her in the eyes as she spoke, while everyone held their heads down.

"Why did she do that to me?" she question turning her head to face her. 

"I'm sorry my lady, we were supposed to keep you safe but we didn't. You can punish us as you please" The maids looked at each other, scared but the head maid didn't show any fear in her eyes.

"Leave me alone," she wanted to stay alone, and everyone left the room while the guards stood at the door guarding her.

"..." 

Robert goes back to Zanuel and walks closer to him.

"My lord" he says walking closer to Zanuel, he is was getting dressed, his black raven hair fall back on his shoulders and the black trouser tightly fitted his thighs.

"How's she?" he asks the first thing seeing Robert.

"I left her in the palace and Margaret assured me she will keep her safe" he reports back to him. 

Zanuel looks at him puzzled by his immense trust as he spoke about her.

"Margaret is the head maid, My Lord, and she will do anything to keep her safe" he says reading the confusion on his face. 

Robert turns his head towards the voices he heard, the thoughts of the demons rushing to them.

"My Lord, they're here" he informs looking back at him.

Zanuel walks back to the bed and takes the coat to cover his bare chest, the abs intact, the body did not wither, no one would say this man was in a coffin for over a millennium.
