Love Is The Cure

The Survival

Seth's POV

It's been a year since being near his bride Alliyah and experiences the rare love that this time.

He was in hiding from the soldiers while they rounded up his kind as well as the humans that dared to contact them.

When he was informed by his sire to come to his palace in the Netherlands, to protect the remaining vampires, Seth thought that he could defend Alliyah from harm by disappearing.

Once making it to the castle, Seth was given information throughout his hiding to discover that the captured vampires were forcefully being given the virus in so they can die.

He witnessed one at the beginning of his hiding, a vampire that was infected looked completely human and started to decompose rapidly. It was a horrible sight, and it took at least an hour before mercifully dying.

"What are you doing so far away, my friend?" Seth's friend Luke walked by with a jovial expression on his face.

"I'm simply thinking,"

"About your bride?"

"Among other things, I haven't been able to contact her for so long,"

"What about your blood link to each other?"

"It's been a year, I can feel if she is alright, but I crave to hear her voice," Seth admitted with a grit of his teeth.

"You truly do love her, don't you?"

"Is that a trick question, what do you want?"

"Why do you feel as if I want something?"

"Because you are here in this room instead of being with your mate, what do you want?" He asked, already in a foul mood.

"I came to let you know that they had found a cure,"

Seth quickly looked into his friend's eyes to discover the truth in them. He felt as if a weight had lifted off of his shoulders as the message drifted around his ears.

As well as the excitement in finally seeing his beloved Alliyah again made his heartbeat rapidly.

But he looked back to see a grim expression shadowing luke's face that stopped him from celebrating.

"What is the bad news, Luke?"

"The bad news is about Alliyah,"

Before he could say anything, a sharp pain echoed in his skin and body. Seth felt his entity becoming painful to the point of breathing; even though it's not him experiencing this pain, he had a sinking feeling of whom it might be.

"Seth, you sense her pain can't you?"

"What is going on?" He demanded in a gasp from the pain.

"It's about Alliyah, the soldiers have taken her and immediately sentenced her to death,"

"No, where have they taken her?" Seth demanded in a roar.

"Our sire knows her location, but it's filled with soldiers and infected beings," Luke warned

"I don't care; no one touches my bride!" He growled with anger while going to his sire's throne room.

It took plenty of patience on his part to wait as his sire made arrangements for Seth to leave and find his Alliyah.

 Seth's sire warned him that once he left his castle that he was on his own at that point. 

He could not have any communication with any of his kind for any reason and banned from the castle.

He understood and immediately left to rescue his bride, the journey was rough and dangerous as he used the blood link shared between him and Alliyah to help in locating her. It was fragile and weak since her injuries are high.

Just hang on, Alliyah, I'm coming! he thought with determination

He followed their link to an old warehouse where Seth can scent and feel his kind that was healthy and sick.

The screams of suffering almost made him roar with anguish, but he fought his instincts to find his bride.

With supernatural quickness, he ran through each contained room until picking up her unique scent.

He was near her cell when he felt a painful jolt going through his body and looked around to find a robot hovering over him.

Seth had just sliced the machine to pieces when another shockwave attacked him from the front, and more robots appeared to zap him until strength finally left his body.

"Well, Well, look who willingly came here to die," A soldier said with a cruel laugh echoing from behind her metal mask.

"Funny, I was thinking the same thing, " Seth commented as his fangs lengthen while smiling.

"You're in no position to make a threat, vamp!" the guard said while zapping him square in the chest.

"Argh!" Seth screamed in pain, and in he could hear his bride's screams echoing from the cell. 

"Alliyah!" 

"So you're the vamp who will cost this girl her life,"

"Don't mention my love with your filthy mouth," 

"Hemo's can't love a human!" the soldier scoffed

"Love recognizes no barriers," 

Bang

"Ugh!?" He groaned when a bullet pierced his shoulder.

He turned around to find another soldier behind with the gun smoking and suddenly felt his strength leaving him. 

What?

"If that woman is your love than take this as a gift from her," the other soldier said with a smug tone. 

"What did you give me, you filthy soldier?" he demanded as pain clawed his body.

"A sample of the virus,"

"Why, you..!"

"Shut up, vamp, and die!"

He felt a sharp hard metal across his face before darkness overshadowed his sight.
