Love Under The Blood Moon

Chapter 2

Aleah's POV

We just made it in time to return to my room when the servant came in to deliver my small cup of blood. My nanny took the cup and handed it yo me to replenish the lost blood I gave to Lord Rain.

I was scared at what might happen to Lord Rain but nanny reassured me that he will be fine. That he will be guided by the moon,

As we prepare ourselves to sleep we heard it. The loud inhuman roar that vibrated throughout the castle. We could hear the shouts from the guards as they try to see what is the commotion about. And then i felt the presence of Lord Rain diminish which means-

"He has escaped."

My nanny looked at me curiously and asked.

"How did you know?"

"I have this feeling, this connection with him ever since i saw him in the dungeons. At first the connection is as thick as a rope but now it like a string but it is still there and it will never break. Lord Rain and I are connected. Not by maker or Newborn but a much more deeper connection than that."

Nanny nodded, understanding.

"I see..."

"What does it mean nanny?" I asked.

"You'll know when you grow up my little queen. Right now you are too young to understand."

Suddenly the door burst open and Uncle Servius came in with guards. He is quite enraged because his brown eyes are glowing. I tried to act innocently and asked

"Whats wrong uncle?"

"A prisoner escaped. I just want to make sure that he wont come here and hurt you."

I know that my uncle wants to put up appearances that he was a gentle uncle so despite what i feel i had to thank him.

"Thank you uncle, for thinking of my well being."

He just smirked and grabbed my arm tightly squeezing it until i whimpered.

"But to make sure that he wont come here i'll have to move you to my room."

"NO!"

It was my nanny who gasped. She was about to run to me when the guards grabbed her.

"My lord! Please!! Dont do this!"

My uncle just grab me by my hair and drag me out of my small room. I cried, prying his fingers out of my hair but he was too strong for me.

I noticed the other servants and nobles looking at me in pity and fear at my uncle. He brought me to his room I wasnt able to look around because he went straight to a huge portrait of himself. He swung it aside to reveal a hidden door. Once he opened it he drag me again inside and threw me in the floor if the dark room.

"Uncle?"

Suddenly the room brightened. I look around to see scrolls and artifacts around the room. I noticed some of them contain dark magic. Then i noticed there were deep grooves on the floor and i saw a pentagram. It was different from the pentagram i use. It has an inverted 5 point star and some symbols which i dont recognize but from the power it emenates i know that is evil. I felt a shiver run through my body as i touch the symbols.

"Hold her down."

Soldiers came in and held onto my arms and legs as they pin me at the center of the pentagram. I felt scared as i saw my uncle in a corner grinning evilly as another vampire came in holding a big nail and a hammer.

"Uncle? What are you doing?"

He just smiled when he said-

"You see my dear niece, i have finally found a way for me to harness your pureblood power without you doing the Blood Moon Ritual. This way i can finally show our kingdom that i am the rightful ruler and not some child like you!! All i need is for you to stay in that pentagram forever!!"

With that he left the room and after a while screams of pain were heard throughout the castle. And the only ones who know about it cant do to help save the little girl.
