Chapitre 4: Yes I fed on her
Caroline's thirst for her blood was not because she is hungry for human blood but because of the thought of how protective Zanuel felt about her.
She always wished to be the one to be on his mind but he never once looked at her that way and this girl, who is nothing but a stranger is running through his mind and ruling over his mind.
Caroline dug her fangs deep into her neck, as her jealousy run through her body, she wanted to drink every single drop from her body until she felt satisfied, she didn't feel sorry as she sucked the blood out of her body.
Margaret, came running to the hallway holding a silver rod in her hand, and with just one hit, Caroline moved away from Denisa, her back burning and turning red while the maids held Denisa in their arms pressing down her neck with a cloth to stop the blood dripping and drenching her dress.
"How dare you?" Caroline lost her temper as her back burned, making her feel unbearable pain, she walks closer to Margaret but didn't get any closer as other maids came running with the same silver rods in their hands, she glares at her in disgust and vanished from the palace.
"My Lady, you okay?" Margaret inquired looking at Denisa, she stood still, frozen, blood dripping from her neck. The maids held her tight, and takes her to Zanuel's room, and tended her neck to stop the bleeding.
The physician was disinfecting her neck, while she lay on the bed like a stone, not moving, but hardly breathing to stay alive, she then slowly turns her head towards the maids, she hardly looked aged, her hair tied into a bun as she wore a beautiful brown gown matching her eyes.
"Who was that blood-sucking creature?" Denisa finally broke her silence when her eyes land on Margaret who saved her from Caroline.
Margaret was waiting for her to speak, she couldn't afford anything to happen to her.
"She's Caroline, she's one of the followers of the lord," she says, her eyes filled with guilt of not being able to save her from all this happening to her.
Denisa looks at her and only she looked her in the eyes as she spoke, while everyone held their heads down.
"Why did she do that to me?" she question turning her head to face her.
"I'm sorry my lady, we were supposed to keep you safe but we didn't. You can punish us as you please" The maids looked at each other, scared but the head maid didn't show any fear in her eyes.
"Leave me alone," she wanted to stay alone, and everyone left the room while the guards stood at the door guarding her.
"..."
Robert goes back to Zanuel and walks closer to him.
"My lord" he says walking closer to Zanuel, he is was getting dressed, his black raven hair fall back on his shoulders and the black trouser tightly fitted his thighs.
"How's she?" he asks the first thing seeing Robert.
"I left her in the palace and Margaret assured me she will keep her safe" he reports back to him.
Zanuel looks at him puzzled by his immense trust as he spoke about her.
"Margaret is the head maid, My Lord, and she will do anything to keep her safe" he says reading the confusion on his face.
Robert turns his head towards the voices he heard, the thoughts of the demons rushing to them.
"My Lord, they're here" he informs looking back at him.
Zanuel walks back to the bed and takes the coat to cover his bare chest, the abs intact, the body did not wither, no one would say this man was in a coffin for over a millennium.
He walked out of the door and Robert followed him, the demons stood by the door watching him, he walked passed them making his way to the throne, and the coat followed his footsteps covering them.
The demons eyed him as he walked, seeing him alive everyone was anxious, even though Zanuel couldn't hear their thoughts but he could guess what was going on in their minds as and everyone had the same expression on their faces.
'He doesn't look like he was in a coffin over a millennium' their expressions gave them out, he smirks at the sight of them and sits on the throne which was always his.
The demons stare at each other waiting for anyone to ask him the question but no one dared but one did.
"How? how did you get out?" one of the demons asked, which every demon present wanted to ask.
Zanuel stares at him blankly, making him wonder why he had to ask the question when no one else did.
"I was lucky," Zanuel says getting up from the throne and walking towards him.
The demons kept quiet and didn't raise their heads, fearing getting caught by him.
Everyone was thinking about things they usually don't, to not get caught by Robert.
"I'm well and alive, as I was before" Zanuel declares as the demons stood there hearing him and watching him as he walked past them, they were no longer under the oath of loyalty, he didn't feel their powers but didn't say a word and let them think that he didn't notice.
The demons left without speaking another word, as no one wants a war that they know they'll never win.
"Let's go to the palace" Zanuel was done with the demons as they were the least on his mind while Denisa was running through his head even when he was talking to the demons who were lying to him by being present in front of him.
Zanuel was ready to leave the house, but Robert stayed back when he heard Caroline's thoughts.
"What happened to you?" the voice startled Caroline, she looks back at Robert, "I'm asking you what happened?" he asks again, getting close to her. The burns were getting red. He knew who did that, only one person in the kingdom knows how to hurt the demons without even putting up a fight with them.
"Don't tell me you tried to hurt the lady!" the fear in his eyes was visible, the question stayed in the air for too long that he felt he already has an answer to it. Caroline look back at him who was staring at her with his piercing eyes.
"Tell me!" He demands on hearing the truth from her.
"Yes I fed on her, I sucked the blood out of her body" she agreed, and his fear came true.
"..."
Zanuel walks into the palace and everyone stared at him mesmerized by him, the maids, and the male servants, everyone, as he kept walking to his room. The guards guarding the doors moved away as he walked closer and the door opened wide showing Denisa sleeping on his bed.
Denisa was lying on the bed when she heard the door open she didn't bother turning to see who it was.
"What happened?" Zanuel asks walking closer to her. Denisa turned back to look at him and say what happened but she changes her mind and faked sleeps.
"WHO DID IT?" even though it was just a split second, his eyes caught the bandages over her neck, his eyes turn red as he walks closer to her and settles on the side of the bed facing her, and gently touches her neck, and asks her again, trying to maintain his temper.
"Who did this Denisa?" He asks her again.
Denisa didn't speak a word and seeing him by her side she realized he was the reason for everything, if not for him she didn't have to experience anything, getting forced to the dungeon, getting kidnapped, getting her neck bitten for blood, this is not something she would have faced in her daily life. Zanuel stood by her side waiting for her to reply.
"No one" Denisa didn't give him the name and turned around faking sleep, his patience was running out, he rubs his head in frustration and stares at the door.
"Guards!" He screams and the guards standing by the door came running to his aid.
"My lord" they said holding their head down.
"Who hurt her?" Zanuel asks glaring at them, keeping his temper in check trying to not sound angry and scare her.
The guards look at each other, not knowing what to say "My Lord, we just heard a rumor" one of the guards says.
"Who?" Zanuel asks getting up from the bed and walking closer to them.
The guards were worried about their lives but they couldn't lie "Caroline, My Lord" the guard says and Zanuel somehow expected this to be her, it has to be her, she has done this before, she wouldn't think twice about doing it again, he looks back at Denisa before he left the room but she didn't want to see him. B
Zanuel walks out of the room and Robert stood by the door waiting for him.
"Where is she?" he asks him as he will have the answer to it.
"My lord, Caroline is sorry, she couldn't control herself," he says but it didn't work on Zanuel. He knows she'll never feel sorry.
"I asked where she is!" he demands trying to control the urge to strangle every single person standing in front of him.
Robert looks in the hallway and Caroline walked to him, "My lord, Margaret didn't spare her, she was hit by the silver rod" Zanuel was not even listening to him, his eyes fixed on Caroline but she didn't speak a word.
Zanuel turns his head to Margaret staring at her who was listening to them.
"My Lord" Margaret bows at him, she only heard about him all her life. "she won't be able to recover for three months," she says proudly and looks at Denisa who stood by the door watching everything, she was not really interested but curious what Zanuel was going to do.
"Who are you?" Zanuel couldn't recognize the face, but she felt familiar to him.
"I'm Kimberly Kate's daughter, My Lord" Margaret replied to him with a smile over her faces and flaunts a ring on her finger, the same ring he gave to a woman who was chased by the vampires because she was holding a demon child.
'Kimberly Kate' Zanuel's mind recollects the woman.
Kate was the last woman Zanuel was able to save before he was sealed in the coffin.
"Where is she?" he asks, remembering her "she died three years ago My Lord" she says, caressing her hands and calming herself down.
Margaret looks at Zanuel with nothing but loyalty as her mother always reminded her she was able to survive because of the mercy he showed to her.
Denisa looked at Zanuel, curious, to see what order he will pass regarding Caroline, as everyone here was trying to save Caroline from him.
Zanuel takes a moment and then his mind comes to Caroline and his eyes fixed on Caroline as he walks closer to her and held her neck, strangling her to see her begging him to stop but she didn't.
Robert stood by his side trying his best to keep his emotions in control but it was getting hard, for once he wanted to Zanuel to stop, but he did not let the thoughts win and stood there froze letting him do whatever he wanted, and no one dared to come closer to him.
'Oh no, he'll kill her' Denisa could see the rage in his eyes, and noticed Caroline's eyes turning blood shot red, she quickly rushed towards him to stop him before he strangled her to death.
"Leave her, I said leave!" Denisa yells and pulls Zanuel's hands away from Caroline's neck.
"My neck is bleeding, help me" she demanded pulling him away from Caroline and showing him her neck, pulling the bandages over them and the blood drips.
Zanuel looks at Denisa baffled, he couldn't find words to say to her, he was stunned to see her ordering and dragging him into the room pulling his hands, her fragile body looked so small compared to him.
Denisa used all her strength to pull him away but it did not even feel like pressure to Zanuel, he let her take the lead and pull him away and smiled, all the anger slowly vanished and washed away from him.
What Caroline did to her was worse but Denisa didn't want her dead.
