The Demon King (Otherworld Series #4)

Chapter 15- Part 2

For those of you who don't know Catra Valor (Image ^^), she was a character from the previous Otherworld Series. She is the Vampire Duchess whom Lunia tried to replace so that she could kill Nikolai, she failed, though.

Enjoy.

Catra Valor along with my other friends stood in the room, redoing my makeup and straightening my dress.

I had changed into something more comfy. A knee length white dress. When they removed that ribbon from my hand, I had tried to protest but Alicia and Lucelle had said that it was not important.

I was finally given some white pumps yo go with my dress.

I looked at Catra as she applied lipstick to my lips.

She looked different from the last time I saw her. She was more curvy and her hair more vibrant. She was glowing with health. And of course it was because of her stomach.

Her protruding stomach.

"How far along are you?" I asked, when she was done.

"Seven months. I'm having twin girls. " She replied, stroking her belly. She looked pretty in her red maternity maxi. Her hair was left open and red matching lipstick was on her lips. Her fangs showed when she smiled. I was so jealous of her.

She was part human and part vampire. At least they were widely accepted. I wish I was part human instead of part elf.

"Is Pius here with you? And Peter?" I remembered taking care of Peter when I was playing maid for Catra. He was such an obedient child. And so beautiful.

"Pius is here. Peter is at home with...uh.." She shifted, uncomfortably. So she knew my sob story.

"Hanes. " I finished for her.

I covered my expression. My father wasn't here to see me get married. Why do I feel so much pain? I don't know. Maybe I'm just not me today.

I signed. "I'm sorry." Catra said, smiling sympathetically.

I gave her a wan smile. "It doesn't hurt anymore. " I lied, smoothly. "And I am the one that should be sorry for what I did last time. We got off on the wrong foot."

She grinned. "It's okay. Because of you, I found the best way to annoy my husband. All I have to do is form some rhyming words. "

I gave her a puzzled look. She shrugged, not telling me about it.

"Let's start again. Hi, I'm Catra Valor. " she said putting her hand out for a shake.

I smiled. "I'm Lunia Grey." I shook her outstretched hand.

"Now put your hands up and give me all your money. " I said, turning my fingers into a gun and pointing at her head.

She laughed and showed me two finger guns. "What you gonna do now?" She asked, pointing her finger guns to my head.

"Please don't kill me! I just got married. "

"Then you definitely need to die." She said. We all laughed at that.

"Pretty cosy, huh? You two." Alicia said.

"Yeah. You should have seen me kidnapping her." I chuckled. Catra joined me. Then she suddenly got serious. "I thought you'd escaped that night. How are you here then...."

"I got caught. It's actually no surprise since I was hiding in his financial capital. Pretty stupid right?"

"No. It's a good plan. He wouldn't expect to find you there...but someone must've given you away. " She said, her eyes speculative.
