Bab 326: I Want To Kill

VAMPIRE KING APOLLYON

*****************************

  Apollyon had cleared his throat, breaking the eerie silence as they entered the woods, walking through the path by the riverbanks.

There was no sound of crickets or wild animals howling in the night, but he could hear the mellow burbles of the stream as it traveled along its bed, bubbling over rocks and branches. 

The river was a snake of turquoise in contrast to the dark green of the forest. 

The trees stood tall with pride as Apollyon and Aspen passed through. 

"So, we got settled at your Lilac Manor earlier---" Apollyon trailed off as he followed Prince Aspen's trails, clawing at the vines and cutting the branches. 

He could have sworn these plants were alive, trying to get a hold of his long tunic.
