Y/n POV

After having a talk with Jek about how both humans with royal devil blood and angels with royal devil blood are rare and that they are both likely to hold the power of the Grimoire, we go on a boat ride to the vampire king's castle. During this ride, I couldn't help but think about the devils, Lindo and Roen. They must all know that I was taken by the vampires by now. I just hope they hurry up and rescue me.

Wait?! What am I thinking?! Why do I want the devils and Roen to rescue me?!

"We're here." My train of thought is derailed.

"Oh, ok..."

One of the other vampires offer me their hand, but I ignore it, trying to exit the boat on my own, but tripping and injuring my knee. I let out a yelp and hold my knee with one hand, grabbing my handkerchief. After my wound was bandaged, I follow behind Jek into the castle. Inside, I see a throne, with whom I'm guessing is the vampire king, sitting on it. Surrounding him are three girls in white dresses and chains around their necks. I glare at the so called vampire king.

"You must be Nesta, the so called vampire king."

"You stupid hybrid. You will address him as Lord Nesta." I roll my eyes at Jek, who thought it'd be a good idea to correct me.

"Fine, Lord Nesta." I correct myself.

Nesta looks me up and down, stopping at my knee. "Who dare injure you?"

His voice intimidates me, but I stand tall, while one of the vampires behind me, the vampire I had ignored earlier at the dock, starts running off. "I did this to myself!" I tell him.

Nesta didn't listen, and used his power to kill the vampire that was running. His power was absolutely terrifying. "Let me see your face, Y/n L/n." I stay my ground, shaking in my shoes.

Suddenly, I'm flying towards him, still shaking with fear. He grabs my chin, examining my face before letting me fall to the ground. "You do resemble her."

"Who are you talking about..." I let out a few coughs.

"You're mother. 120 years ago your father and I were competing for her love, as she was the most beautiful thing anyone had even seen and had extraordinary power. I wanted that power for myself, but unfortunately, your father got to her heart before I could."

"My mother wouldn't love a vampire, let alone one as heartless as you!" I shout.

Nesta gives me a glare before continuing to speak. "Lindo, the boy your sister called brother. How is he? I'm a little curious since half his blood is mine."

My eyes widen. There's no way someone so sweet like Lindo could be the son of someone like him. "You're lying, you can't be his father!"

"Does he ever thirst for blood?" I look up to see Nesta with a wicked grin on his face.

Thinking about all Lindo has done for me give me the courage to stand up. "No! He will never be a monster like you!"

"Oh, I see. Well, he is a dhampir, he can't help but be weak." He then grabs one of the girl, sinking his fangs in and drinking her blood. "Shame he doesn't know what he's missing out on. Now Marta, she gave into me quite easily. Seducing that woman was so effortless it should have been criminal."

"You didn't love her. You were just using her to get information on the Grimoire. Disgusting." I spat out.

"That's right, she gave me what I wanted to know, and in return, I gave her what she wanted most, myself."

"Sure there can be no greater gift than the attention of Lord Nesta himself." Jek cuts in.

"I can think of a billion better rewards." I say, glaring at Nesta. "You are a monster! And to think you're Lindo's father! I refuse to accept that you could even be related to him, let alone be his father!"

"That's enough!" Jek says, trying to grab onto me.

"Do you really think I'll listen to you after what you did to Azuna?! I agree to come here, not listen to everything you said!" I pull away.

I stop yelling when I hear Nesta let out a chuckle. "You really are the devil king's daughter. That tantrum was enough to convince me that the Grimoire's power really does rest within you."

"Question, how do you expect to remove the Grimoire?" I ask.

"It is said that when the second full moon of the 615th year rises to the highest peek, whoever were to take in your blood will receive the full power of the Grimoire." Nesta explains. My eyes widen. I had forgotten that the 615th year always hold two full moons in a row, which meant that after tonight, if I live, I'll no longer hold the Grimoire's power within me.

"So, you only need a little bit?" I question, but he doesn't reply.

Then Jek goes on, spouting a bunch of words that basically were already said, as well as telling the other vampires to start preparing.

Suddenly, I'm dragged into a room, undressed and bathed by the girls that were surrounding Nesta's throne earlier. I am then dressed into a beautiful, blue dress:

What am I thinking?! It's no time to admire the dress or how good I look in it

What am I thinking?! It's no time to admire the dress or how good I look in it. I needed to hurry up and get out of here. I try opening the door, but it was locked shut. I then burst into tears. This was most likely the end for me, but at least the ones I care for are safe...

My mind then flashes to Azuna. My cries turn into sobs. She was killed protecting me from the vampires, and this is how I repay her, by handing myself over to them.

My mind then flashes to Rem/Lindo/Urie/Mage/Shiki/Roen. I never got to tell him how I really feel.

I stand up, looking in the mirror and notice something shiny. I look over, seeing a pair of scissors. Looking around, I decide to grab them and shove them into my dress. That's when the door to the room opens.
