The Vampire's seal lll : Love over immortality

Replacing What Was Lost

After the girl hesitantly nodded yes, I tore apart the dense metal lock the kept the cage door locked. As soon as the door flung open, the little Asian girl yelped and ran to me, hugging my waist. I looked up at Shay confused and Shay shook her head.

"If you choose her, what about the others?" I looked at the other cages and saw nine other pairs of eyes nervously watch me. I scratched my head and finally came to a decision.

"I'm not choosing her. I'm choosing all of them."

Shay glared at me as if she couldn't believe what she had just heard and I put my hands up. "Wait, not like that. I don't desire women like that, I have Anastasia, remember? I have something different in mind. Not a harem, but a better idea that could benefit everyone involved. And it starts with all these girls getting out of here and having at least a warm bed to sleep on for the rest of the night." Shay's eyes softened and she raised her eyebrows.

"What are you saying Michael?" I gently set the girl away from me sitting her down on the floor before I began to rip out the next metal lock.

"I'm saying to get some people up in here that can help me out with this."

After that, Shay called on some people who I assumed to be maids to help us out. The maids took all the girls away from me, and they all seemed egar to go.

All except one at least.

The little Asian girl clung to my waist as if she was holding on for dear life. Feeling uncomfortable because she was naked, I finally plucked her off and carried her off. Picking her up by her armpits, she looked at me with wet eyes. "What's your name kid?" She lowered her eyes almost immediately and I brought her higher to look her straight in the face. She mumbled something so I brought her closer so I could hear her better. "What was that?"

"...don't have a name."

My heart was caught off guard and I just looked at her. In all my confusion, I felt my eyes flicker gold and she looked at me surprised.

"My Lord?" A white haired maid asked me nervously. She motioned to the girl and I looked back at her.

"One moment please."

The white haired maid curtsied and went to attend the other girls. After I set the little girl down I took a knee, placed a hand on her shoulder and looked at her straight in her unusual eyes. "The next time we meet," I began as I felt my eyes glow even brighter. "I promise you that I will give you a worthy name." She shivered underneath my hand that I had placed on her shoulder, and simply glared at me as a response. I stood from my knees and placed a hand onto her straight black hair. I called the maid over and shuffled the girl with no name along.

"Sir," The white haired maid began. "If you ever wish to see any of the girls again, please, all you have to do is get in contact with the great war general or myself. My name is Adria Sylvester. " She took her hand out unsure of my actions, and I shook her hand determined.

"You'll hear from me soon." I promised her. She nodded seemingly thankful, and walked away with the girl who had been given rags to cover herself with. Shay was at the outside of the door; now in the hallway and she signalled me over.

"Are you done?" She asked. I nodded.

"Yeah."

"Good." Shay said as she walked back in the direction of the gorgeous hallways. "Because we need to do something about your attire before you even think of joining the event."

"What's this gathering about anyways?" I asked confused. She avoided my question.

"It's going to be a marker in our history. In all of our histories. After tonight? Nothing will ever be the same, I can guarantee you that. Now to get you ready."
