Lica flew up to the window and looked inside. The prince was reading something lying in his bed. He was as handsome as ever.
Angelica plucked up courage and flew through the window into the room. The Prince immediately turned around, as if he felt it.
"Angelica?" he said with startled voice. "But why are you in the etheric body? What happened to you?"
"Prince! You recognize me?!" Lica exhaled. "What a joy!"
"How I can forget you if your bite on my neck has not healed yet!" Vampire smiled.
He threw back his long black hair, and Angelica saw two notable points on his neck. Then he threw aside the book and got up.
"But you did not answer me, what happened to you?"
"Oh! It's a long story, Prince! The fact is that I'm looking for the soul of Prince Edward - Prince Night – in the Ghosts' Fields!"
"Is the Prince dead?" the Prince of vampires astonished.
"Not really... He voluntarily gave his soul for a potion for a girl, and now I want that soul back!"
"What for? Is he your fiancé?"
"No! But without his soul everything has gone wrong."
"That's what I feel; something strange is going on in the Kingdom..." Prince of Vampires mused. "In the mountains something strange is happening. I sent there some of my servants to find out what it was, but they did not come back. Can you imagine what that means? It means that something threatens us - vampires! It's the wrong time for Prince Night to part with his soul!"
"That's why I have been looking for his soul!"
"All right! But what can I do to help you?"
"I have the information that his soul is in the Well of Oppression but I cannot go there. Only you can."
"So you want me to go with you and save the soul of the Prince?" he smiled. "Ok but I want something in return!"
"What?"
"Your appreciation!"
"But I..."
"Yes, I remember that you have a fiancé! But I do not claim anything physical just your energy will be enough!���
Prince slowly approached Lica. Her heart was pounding. She's been doubted her feelings for Edward, and here... In the light of the candle flame Prince seemed so lovely that she could not resist. He went to her very close and whispered with his lips:
"Simply log on me, Angelica! Become me!"
Lica, as if she was hypnotized, took a step forward and merged with the Prince's body. She so strangely hunkered to possess him that her body became shining brighter. The Prince of Vampires groaned and dropped to his knees.
"Angelica, it's perfect!" he whispered.
She completely yielded to this feeling and then suddenly realized that she was getting weaker. She remembered Sofia's words "vampires can suck all your energy". Lica made an effort and came out of the Prince's body. He came round after a few minutes. Finally, he stood up and said:
"Angelica, you are - the only woman with whom I would like to be both physically and energetically. You have awakened such feelings in me as no one ever!"
"Prince..." she said with a weaken voice. "Time is precious, Prince! We have to hurry!"
The Prince of Vampires nodded and rang the bell, standing on his desk.
"Saddle my horse immediately!" he ordered loudly to the appeared servant. "Come on, Angelica."
Several minutes later, the Prince of Vampires and Lica went outside and jumped into the saddle.
"Show me the way!" he said shortly.
The girl nodded and flew ahead. Suddenly, Sofia joined her.
"Who is that?" Vampire asked open-eyed.
"She is the girl who helped me to find the soul of the Prince," Angelica answered.
"Aha," the Prince smiled.
"How do you do!" Sofia greeted him.
Vampire bowed.
Soon they saw the abandoned farmhouse with a well. The main vampire jumped off his horse and asked:
"So the soul of Prince is in this well, isn't it?"
"Yes, it's there!" the girl nodded.
"Prince!" said Angelica with imploring voice. "I beg you; make the soul of the Prince get with you out! And... if you meet there the soul of Michael - this is her boyfriend (Lica pointed to Sofia) – then, please, let him leave with you this well too!"
"Angelica, you use me!" Prince smiled. "I'm not your potboy."
"I'll be very grateful," the girl said looking down.
The Prince of Vampires stared at her, then went to the well and disappeared.
"Is the Prince your friend?" Sophia asked in surprise.
"Something like that," Lica sighed.
The ruler of Vampires kept them wait long enough. But finally, he appeared. In one hand he was holding a small sparkling ball.
"It looks like yours!" he turned to Sophia.
He threw the ball up into the air and it became a figure of a young man.
"Michael!" she exclaimed happily. "How long have I been looking for you?"
She flew at Michael. Two whitish clouds came together vigorously flickering. Then Sophia flew to the Vampire and said:
"You're ... you're so noble! This is wonderful! Thank you very much!"
Then she began to embrace Angelica.
"Sophia! I'm very happy for you!" exclaimed Lica. "You have found your boyfriend. Fly away! You have a lot to talk about!"
Sophia nodded, waved goodbye and two white clouds vanished in the dark sky.
"Prince, but where is the soul of the Prince?" Angelica asked hotly.
"Not all at the same time, my dear! The Well of Oppression is not as small as it looks from here."
And the Prince of Vampires went back down into the well.
