Lord Damon , a pure-blooded vampire, strong and tough , was rather way more harsh and cold too. As it is said the primitive had something that the new lacked , he was the pure-blooded from the line of originals who come from ancient times who were actually the founder of the Vampire Dynasty where humans were still slaves if property stricken .Being from the primitive and oldest line he had some uperhand in most of the circumstances, be it power ,strength, wisdom ,agility or sexual drives.It was only his cousin Robert Salvatore who can think of competing him ,but turns out to be he was his loyal brother although wasn't his real one but he adored Lord Damon as his only sibling.
Unfolding the parchment piece he read it with all his calm then folded it and kept it back in his pocket and in a casual tone spoke "Antonio let's take a stroll , it's been a while since we hadn't talked to each other " hearing which confusion struck Antonio but soon dismissing it he walked with him. They had taken a step ahead only when Antonio heard some sound from behind as if something fall , to his utmost surprise it was a man lying down on the floor, on whom his eyes didn't fall when he arrived the place. He was lying as if he was trying to scramble on the floor and was having tremor every now and then untill he stopped any motion. With complete alertness he slowly stepped towards the man lying on the floor and also called for Lord's help with lots of questions swirling in his mind, but the Lord stood there with his back turned as if he was waiting for Antonio to join him back in the walk . He said with a bit of dilemma "He's dead." turning towards Damon who stood like as if nothing happened upon which he understood that this had to do something with him.
He was shocked more at the fact that he couldn't make out someone struggling for his life with his back resting on the side of the tree one step away from which Stood Lord Damon. "Milord have you done this?" he questioned in a dazzled tone, to which Lord turned back looking at him as his he didn't know what he was talking about."The person is dead Milord have you done this??"
"Ohh , this. Do you suspect me for this. Do I seem to you so cruel?" he asked in an ironic way as if yearning to hear the opposing words.
The person had his gut ripped out of his body , blood as if had splashed and smudged all over his face during the cruel gruesome act. His mouth was open as if had been suffocated and was trying to gasp for air.
Antonio could swear By Mary that it was Lord Damon who was involved in this by seeing his grin that accompanied his calmness and a devilish look too. He was keen to know what was actually his Lord upto. "I see you have a lot of questions in your mind.Shoot" he said to Antonia with his tone turned to serious but without even waiting for Antonio to ask him he said " As you can see the person lying on the ground in front of you , he is a jury member " hearing which Antonio looked as pale as if bitten by a snake ,a venomous one. Seeing his expressions being so casual and calm it gave Antonio a jolt even more worse than ever and that upon hearing that it was a jury member whom he had killed , upon which he was interrupted in his thoughts " Ahaann . No my dear friend it's very annoying of you to think it's me . Alas I am'nt the one to do this good deed from my very own hand " saying with a tinch of mockery in his words . The Lord was capable of reading and hearing someone's thought which was a privilege held only by the primitives, still it was a mystery to every one as to how he was able to hear the thoughts of even the other two of his siblings while they couldn't. Proving that he could be understood by none and read by none born till now. There were other pure-blooded ones who were hard to kill but this one was a lethal monster in disguise of a saint yet slaying looks ;owing to his belonging to the line of ancient clan of vampire the one who had rooted this Vampirian Dynasty among the humans .
Knowing how much Steffan Weasly , the jury member who was lying there dead brutally murdered, disliked Lord Damon and would very often indulge into a skirmish of wit with him , although Lord Damon didn't ever express his dislike for him but the way he did ridicule him only pointed Antonio that he might have done the cold deed as it was not to his surprise how he did kill anyone.
The same way how he did kill anyone the same style as if it was a mere reflection of his old killings but the Lord said that it wasn't him but still Antonio was confused as to how can this happen that Lord didn't kill Weasly though standing so close to him.
