Desiderium

Sechzehn (Part 1)

Zelrick

The Queen gave orders which we comply without any second thought.

Even though it means working with my mortal enemy and my former bestfriend.

"You should be happy that the Queen asked our help, instead of completely relying to the Reds." Farley nudges me.

My eyes glued when Vinea walk past by on us, ignoring Farley's taunting I follow her.

But it seems she sensed that I am following her, she stopped and turn to face me.

She really is breathtaking.

I rarely smile but for her, she is the reason why I'm smiling right now "Hello, V."

She chuckle "You still haven't forgot that nickname for me, Z."

There is a happiness blossomed into the inner part of my hollow heart when she called me by our nicknames.

She is supposed to be mine. But she is now married to Claudius.

My former bestfriend.

Nuriel charges at me with full of violence and determination to kill me at the spot.

We topple together on the ground, my head hits the floor with a loud thud.

With that sound, I know Ira will be awake by any moment.

I clawed at his hands around my throat as I struggle my way to breathe, he really is going to kill me and I will never let that happen.

I kicked him hard on the stomach and he roll off me, grunting in pain as I try my best to crawl away.

But my efforts are futile, someone pull me off the floor with brute force and throw me across the hallway.

My body hits the wall that I think I can hear it crack, I gasped in pain when a cold strong hand lifted up my body from the floor while holding me on my throat.

I came face to face with Ira's stoic unearthly beautiful face, her eyes shifts into a garnet color and it is horrifying to see her elongate her endorpins.

Panick surged through me when I realize I am having a face to face encounter with the Vampiric Queen.

I choke back a scream of pain when she slammed me against the wall that I think I see stars everywhere.

"What are you doing here, demon?" She hissed. Tightening her grip around my throat.

"L-let .. M-m-me .. G-go---uck!!" She is completely blocking my airpath and my eyes starts to water.

She is too strong and I cannot even move a muscle from her iron grip.

I can see Nuriel standing up from the floor, his eyes are glaring daggers in my direction.

This cannot be good. What if Raphael learned that I am here?

"Ira, darling, what's happening here?" I can hear Raphael's downstairs a

nd I know I will die sooner as I expected.
