Vampire Sins ( A Kingdom Story)

Zerlock

                                                           SEAN's POV

               At evening time, Me, Drake and Warren were at the wine house. Woman were dancing and giggling all around us. People were drinking and criticizing on each other. Everyone was enjoying themselves except me. I was upset more than EVER.

                      "Cat got your tongue?" Warren joked me.

  "If you are referring to Anastasia as a cat, Then cat did." I replied drinking another glass of blood.

  "That was lame!" Drake said drinking a glass of wine, "Also I thought we were friends?"

  "What do you mean, Ginger?" I asked arching my eyebrows.

  "Leave Drake's emotional blackmailing, Tell me why are you upset, Sean?"  Warren asked.

  "Leave me? I know what you And Anastasia were talking about! She is the one, Isn't she? She is the PRINCESS!" Drake said angrily slamming his hand on the table and drawing attention.

SHHHHH... I and Warren shushed him very moment.

"Are you crazy?" I snapped at him, "You will get her in danger, Hench's men might be here somewhere! Yes, she is the princess."

"Sorry" Drake apologized.

I could see him clearing his throat twice.

"Drake? Why were you listening to us? " I asked him.

His eyes opened wide in fear and confusion.

"Well.. I.. was..... I just wanted to know what were you guys hiding from me and what you were up to?" He said swallowing harder.

I nodded and looked at Warren. 

"I am worried about her. She is innocent. She does not deserve it. She is so young and .....beautiful. " I said imagining her and looking at people.

Warren cleared his throat and I looked at him again. 

"Well. We. We Shouldn't be developing any kind of feelings for the princess."  Warren said arching his brow, "I know she is innocent but we have no choice. After all, She is the last successor of the original and most powerful "sustermaro witch" family and she is a zerlock. In order for King Jonathon to be divine among all the supernatural beings,  the five zerlock descendants of original witch families need to be sacrificed. Only then, King Jonathon will be invincible. He will rule."

"What? A zerlock? A zerlock is.. I.. Were they not only myths?" Drake asked looking shocked.

"Are not vampires only myths?" Warren replied with an evil grin showing his fangs, "Yes, zerlock is the child of a vampire and an original witch. And our dear princess Anastasia is the daughter of King Johnathon and greatest witch of all Anumara Sustermaro."

"That means, The prophecy is true?" Drake asked still shocked, " Five zerlocks sacrificed for the ritual of  iniquitous on  the day of red dawn! This day comes after every 10 years. And zerlocks  they are the strongest creatures. They can make everyone bow them. How?" 

"Yes, Indeed. The  eclipse of the sun and blood moon comes together on one day every 10 years which is the red dawn" I sighed, "And Zerlocks, They gain their power at the age of 18. That means they can be sacrificed before 18 to be on safer side. King had already sacrificed 3 zerlocks years ago. Only 2 remain and One of them is his daughter, Anastasia."

"She will be sacrificed on the day of red dawn along with the other zerlock,  luckily the day is in this year." Warren said drinking another glass of wine, "And we need to get her before that."

"Ohmy..!" Drake said putting his hands on his mouth, "How can he sacrifice his own daughter?"

I looked at Warren and he at me. We both smiled at each other.

"Nothing is more worthy than Power, Bro." I smiled.

"Well, If it favors our Great King, Than I am supporting him in anything and I am in for bringing the girl. " Drake winked.

"Sadly and Gladly!" Warren laughed.

"And here I thought that Drake had knowledge of everything. But you are a dumb ass." I said laughing and moving my hand in my hair.

"I have not grown up in castles or was a general of the royal army." Drake smiled, "I am a street wrestler. But If you help me I can also be a part of the castle members."

"We will see. " I smirked at Drake, "Warren! I wrote a letter to the King and told him that I have found the princess . Now we wait for his orders which might be soon for bringing her to the castle."

"But don't you think it will be too soon to take her right now?" Warren asked, "I mean, the day of red dawn is  4 months later."

"Maybe King would want to do his father-daughter bonding." I laughed.

"I cannot wait to kill and feed on mundanes. Its been long since I tasted from a mundane directly." Warren said imagining blood.

"KILL?" Drake asked, "And now what else are you hiding?"

"Well, We were thinking to kill some people in case they are a witness to everything that happens here. And Also that princess might not have any place to run to." I said smirking.

"You mean.... Her family?" Drake asked, "Would it not be too monstrous? I mean she will die!"

"Are we not monsters?" I asked, "We are Damned Vampires. We do evil and monstrous things mate!"

"When a zerlock child dies, They are turned into vampires and have powers. But if they are executed on the day of red dawn their powers are on peek if they are 18 and they die forever. Warren said, "This is something King will have after the ritual is completed fully, He will have his powers umatchable  and he will never die, he will be invulnerable!"

"Well, you teach Drake some real vampire history, prophecy and functioning while I will get some entertaining rest." I winked at them and drank my last glass of wine.

I got up from my place and went towards a black haired dancing girl. She was beautiful. Or maybe not. She reminded me of someone. Someone I felt for. I wrapped my arms around the black haired girl and brushed my lips around her neck until I reached her ear.

 "Anastasia." I whispered.  

She giggled and moved her hands towards my tunic. "Not Anastasia love, Its Aundey" 

And We went for an entertaining sleep. The door closed.

Next Morning 4:30 am.

While I laid shirtless in bed. I could hear someone humming in the room.

I opened my eyes but they were blur. I could only see her black hair. 

"Anastasia. I don't want you to get hurt. Please leave this city. He will kill you. I.." I whispered while my body ache from last night.

The girl came to me her hands on my shoulder "I am sure this Anastasia is very special to you. You have been naming her all night long. " She winked and left. 

While I laid restless and shirtless in bed. Still imagining Anastasia to be here somewhere so I could save her. 

But my loyalty towards the king. My honour. What should I do? Its either Loyal general or a Loyal lover, I need to choose. I thought to myself and closed my eyes again.
