Bowen pov
The sun had long set over the Perest kingdom, painting the sky in colors of deep blue and purple. As darkness settled in, I took advantage of the night. My transformation was swift; a faint shimmer enveloped me as my body shifted, shrinking down until I became indistinguishable from the common Bolle. The tiny insect, with its delicate wings and nearly transparent body, was a frequent sight around these parts, making it the perfect disguise.
From my point near the window, I watched the two women closely. Their movements were graceful yet casual, the way only fairies could manage. As they flew to their home, I kept my distance, my Bolle's eyes capturing every detail.
The house itself was quaint and adorned with various trinkets and baubles. Fairies were known for their love of beauty and they made sure they were surrounded by beautiful objects.
I moved through the air, careful to stay out of their line of sight, and found a perch on a small, ornate shelf.
"Marin," the second woman, Cassie, spoke, her voice tinged with amusement. "I saw what your daughter did. It was hilarious."
"Of course, Cassie," Marin replied with a satisfied smirk. "Immediately I heard the news that the princess was coming to the square, I had to make sure she was humiliated."
The venom in their words stung more than I had anticipated. It was clear now that this was not a simple act of childish mischief but a deliberate effort to disgrace Princess Alita. My hands itched with the urge to confront them, but I remained in my insect form, it was not yet time.
Cassie leaned in closer to her sister, her green dress rustling softly. "It's good that the king's wife died before she could bring forth more half-bloods, imagine the abomination. Our king was manipulated into bedding a human."
Marin snickered and replied, "I don't care if he was manipulated or not, all I know is that we don't want a half-blood to rule over us, it is something that has never happened before, the king shouldn't force us to accept what we don't want."
"Imagine a half-blood being a princess while our full-blooded children aren't living in luxury, it is like giving gold to the swine," Cassie's words were filled with jealousy and disgust.
Rage coursed through my veins like a storm as I listened to their vile conversation. 'These bitches,' I thought, seething. They spoke of Princess Alita as if she were nothing more than a commodity, a thing to be ridiculed and despised. My anger coiled tightly within me, ready to strike.
Life doesn't work like that, The arrogance of these fairies was staggering, their sense of superiority unfounded.
"I saw your full-blooded children, they look more like swine. They are ugly and also stupid. Imagine humiliating a person because of your stupid mother. Your daughter is a foolish girl," I voiced out of anger.
The fairies suddenly grew quiet, sensing my presence though they could not see me. They glanced around nervously, their wings twitching.
Cassie summoned her courage and spoke, her voice laced with defiance. "Show yourself, creature, before I make you."
I chuckled darkly, my voice echoing through the room. "Ah, your ridiculous magic. You can try."
Marin joined in, her tone equally defiant. "You must be a weakling to hide and talk to females who are alone in the house."
I laughed, a sound devoid of humor. "I know what you are doing, but I will agree to your request."
With a swift motion, I transformed back to my full length. My head brushed the ceiling, forcing me to crouch slightly in the cramped space. I removed the hood over my head, revealing my face to the stunned fairies.
"Surprise," I said, my voice dripping with menace.
Their faces grew pale, their eyes wide with fear. "A vampire!" they gasped in unison, scrambling to flee.
But I was faster. In a heartbeat, I caught them by their delicate wings, my grip firm yet not enough to cause damage. I pulled them closer, their feeble attempts to escape futile.
"Perhaps if I cut off your wings," I mused aloud, "will it make you a half-blood?"
They trembled with fear, nemesis had caught up with them and I am that nemesis.

Bowen's POV continues...
The women trembled in my grasp, their bravado crumbling into pitiful pleas. "Don't, please don't," they begged, their voices shaking.
I tightened my grip slightly, ensuring they felt the power I held over them. "You speak of the princess as if she is beneath you, yet you cower and beg when faced with true strength. How pathetic."
Cassie whimpered, her eyes brimming with tears. "We didn't mean it," she stammered. "It was just talk."
"Just talk?" I echoed, my voice a low growl. "Your words have consequences. You seek to humiliate and destroy those who do not fit your narrow ideals. That ends now."
"We will not do it again," Marin pleaded, her voice shaking with a mix of fear and desperation.
I smiled a cold, sadistic smile that barely touched my eyes. "No need to promise. I'll make sure you never do it again."
Before they could react, I tore off their wings with such speed and precision that the pain didn't register immediately. Their bodies convulsed in shock, and as they reached back to touch their mutilated wings, they found their fingers smeared with purple blood. The magical nature of their beings caused the wounds to heal rapidly, but the wings themselves would never grow back.
Cassie's eyes filled with tears, her voice a choked whisper. "We're going to tell the authorities. They will hunt you down and kill you."
I laughed, a deep, menacing sound that filled the room. "Of course, we wouldn't want that to happen, would we?"
I reached out and grabbed Cassie by the neck, pulling her closer until our faces were mere inches apart. Her eyes widened in terror as she struggled against my grip. Marin made a desperate attempt to flee, but I caught her effortlessly, trapping her under my arm.
I stared into Cassie's eyes, my gaze boring into her very soul. "You will forget everything that has happened today. You will forget about the princess, and you will forget you ever met a vampire."
Cassie's resistance crumbled under the weight of my command. Her eyes glazed over, and she nodded numbly. "Yes," she whispered.
I released her, and she collapsed to the floor, her body limp and lifeless. Within moments, she began to snore softly, her mind wiped clean.
Marin, still trapped under my arm, watched in horror as her sister fell into a deep, enchanted sleep. Her eyes darted frantically to where Cassie lay unconscious, her body crumpled on the floor. "What have you done to my sister?" she demanded, her voice a mixture of fear and fury.
I smiled a predatory grin that promised nothing but pain. "Asking questions, are we? Now it's your turn."
Marin's eyes narrowed, her resolve hardening. "I will never let you do that to me," she said defiantly, closing her eyes as if to block out the inevitable.
"Either that or death," I replied coldly. "I hold no grudge to anyone." I leaned in, pressing my mouth to her neck, preparing to suck her blood.
She stiffened, then sniffed, a tear slipping down her cheek. "One day, you will pay for this."
I paused, meeting her gaze. "I was not the one who humiliated the princess."
Marin's eyes flashed with disdain. "The princess is a half-blood. She deserves every humiliation."
I felt a surge of anger but kept my voice steady. "She didn't choose her birth. If there's anyone to blame, it's the king, not his daughter."
Marin rolled her eyes, her contempt clear. "Why am I even talking to you? You're a monster, and one that doesn't understand the workings of the kingdom."
I tilted my head, considering her words. "Exactly. I don't understand the workings of the kingdom."
In a swift motion, I transformed into a large bird, my talons wrapping around Marin's slender form. Her scream of surprise was cut short as I burst through the window, shattering the glass and sending shards flying into the night. I soared high into the sky.
When I reached a certain altitude, I stopped, holding Marin suspended in the air. She squirmed in my grasp, her eyes wide with terror.
"What do you think you are doing?" she cried, her voice barely audible over the rush of wind.
I stared at her blankly. Couldn't she see what was about to happen?
"Please, don't do it," Marin begged, her voice breaking. "Let us make a bargain. I will allow you to do to me what you did to Cassie. Just take me back to my house and we can start over."
I crowed, a harsh, mocking sound. "Too late."
With that, I released her. Her scream echoed through the night as she plummeted towards the ground. Other fairies flying nearby tried to catch her, but she fell too quickly. She hit the ground with a sickening thud, her body exploding on impact.
I looked down at the mangled remains, a mix of purple blood and shattered bones. I had warned her, but the foolish fairy couldn't hold her tongue. Satisfied, I flew away, leaving the chaos and panic below me.
