Loved By a Vampire King

HUMAN WORLD,

Athena was walking too fast through the empty forest swinging in her own thoughts as her whole body quivered looking back at her scarlet heart that had been died long back.

She slapped Ethan not because she hated his kissing.His kissing contained so much mixed feelings for her that it started breaking the invisible shell around her. At the same time, she started regretting for coming back here again and again.

Her paces paused standing at the empty street as her painful eyes met the luminous sky blankly. She murmured softly as the random breeze brushed her trembling lips, 

" You promised that you will stay with me? Then.. why.. why am I here alone in my life.."

She closed her eyes gently as a pleading tone came out from her sorrowful heart, 

" Can you hear me...!!"

Ethan stopped few steps back from her and gazed at her deeply. Her pleading tone vaguely echoed in his ears as he frowned slightly.

He was cursing himself brutally for behaving outrageously. He couldn't help but blame himself that perhaps his action caused all pain to Athena.Thus his heart was filled up with guilt and agony.

He slowly approached near her and parted his lips slightly speaking,

" Athena.. I.. I'm sorry.."

That's all he could only say right then.Even he had no idea that why he had lost his sense after being so intimate with her. There was a spark inside her which was constantly pushing him near her.

His expression turned guilty and waited for her answer standing behind silently.Before he could understand anything, a cold figure fell over his chest causing him to step back a bit in astonishment.

Athena hugged his chest and sobbed mumbling like an abandoned child who had been left by her mother,

" Stop doing this to me...please.. Ethan.. I.. I can't do the same mistake again.. I can't let my heart break twice.. please.."

Ethan was left in speechless. He never coaxed any woman nor did he understand her words. But her sobbing tone was hitting his heart like a daggar cutting the flesh. Subconsciously he lifted up his left palm and caressed through her messy hairs speaking in a soothing tone,

" Ssshh.. Don't cry anymore.. Athena.. I'm here.. I won't do anything to you.. I don't know what had happened with you but you can't hold onto your pain forever.. Embrace the pain with your present or let it go, Athena.. But don't hold it in your heart.."

For some unknown reason, his words soothed her aching heart very well as she exhaled a long breathe before pressing her head hard into his firmchest. They remained same for quite some time until a flashlight from private car fell on their intertwined figures.

Athena jolted at the sudden interference and swiftly separated themselves before stepping back far. Though Vampires don't cry but her eyes turned much painful and pathetic that Ethan felt concerned looking at her state. 

Athena gulped and stared at his flabbergasted face blankly. Soon after, she got back her rationality and apologised lowering her gaze,

" I.. I'm sorry.. I was in loss and hugged you like a stupid.."

Ethan gave a soft smile and inwardly glad that at least she was talking to him.After receiving the hard slap from her, he already imagined that she would never talk to him in this whole life.

Ethan smirked and tried to cheer up her mood thus teased purposely,

" Even I kissed you like a stupid. So we are even now."

Athena looked up and found him smirking as if he was enjoying her seeing in embarrassment. She stammered tugging her hairs behind,

" Stop.. stop talking about it..I deserve an apology from you now.."

Ethan stepped ahead slowly and whispered leaning beside her ear,

" How do you? Did you forget that you have stolen my first kiss in the bar? Well, just think that the kiss as a compensation from your earlier kiss."

Athena's face turned red like tomato as she recalled that how she threw herself to kiss him. She glared at him hatefully and blurted out,

" It's not like I have stolen your first time."

Ethan shrugged straightening up his figure and spit out nonchalantly,

" I won't mind."

Athena "...."

She threw him another hateful glare as he burst into laughing. He replied during his laughter,

" Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Let's go.We have to find a man."

After saying, he pulled Athena and started walking forward. Athena asked curiously from his grip,

" But where are you going?"

Ethan replied annoyingly,

" To find a mad man."

Almost an hour later, they reached at the remote area away from the busy city. Athena watched around curiously and found no apartments or buildings nearby.It was an empty field that they both were walking through.

She trusted Ethan thus she kept quite and followed his path obediently. Shortly after, they reached in front of an abandoned old house.The bushes around the house,walls covered with moss indicating that people hadn't lived in this house perhaps for years.

But what will they do here?

Just then a loud groan like werewolf came across from the forest beside as Athena jolted clasping Ethan's hand tightly.

She watched around and asked in a shaking tone,

" What.. what was that? Did you take me here to eat by werewolf?"

Ethan assured looking down at her frightened face,

" Don't be afraid. I heard that mad man has werewolves as his pet."

Athena was astounded blurting out,

" What??? What.. what are we doing here with him? I'm kinda afraid.. "

Ethan sighed and replied back,

" No worries, I'm here. I won't let them eat 

you. I have found out that this man was also present in the bar at the day of Serena's disappearance. I think he might know something. "

Athena asked holding his arms tightly while walking,

" But how can a normal human help you? Besides we have already checked the security footage. There wasn't anyone around. "

Ethan shook his head and explained stopping in front of the door,

" He isn't any human. He is an old vampire who had been living in human world for the past few years.That's why I have a feelings that he might help us finding the truth."

Athena nodded with understanding but her eyes still roamed around instinctively at the fear of werewolves,their biggest enemy of all time after all. 

Ethan knocked on the door two times as she released his arm shyly. After waiting few moments, a tall figure pulled open the door munching something hungrily.

Athena looked up at him from head to toe as she frowned deeply at his eating face. The man was a bit old age, probably in his early forties like human. A few lines of ageing were visible on his face but his body was taut and muscular.

His eyes were deep red like a flick of lava as he shifted his eyes between Ethan and Athena sarcastically. After taking another mouthful bite from his chicken piece, he chuckled without offering a welcome,

" Mmm.. a vampire and a fairy.. quite complicated.."

Athena frowned at his annoyed comment and Ethan rolled his eyes catching the meaning of his words.

He cleared his throat before saying elegantly,

" Master Blake, can we have some chat?"

Mr.Blake chuckled lightly still chewing his food, he asked back,

" I know, you are looking for me. Go ahead."

Ethan sighed helplessly and shamelessly offered himself,

" Can we go inside and talk?"

Mr.Blake scratched his head awkwardly and replied back hesitantly,

" Well, it's quite messy inside. Come over."

Ethan pulled in Athena who became speechless at his attitude and walked in. As soon as they walked in, their nostrils were filled up with the intense scent of barbecue.

Comparing to outside, the insider house looked much lively except the weird decoration through the whole big room. At a corner, the fire was burning the fresh meat pieces whereas the bones were all thrown here and there throughout the whole floor.

Athena sniffed her nose in disgust and looked up at Ethan whose expression remained blank.

Mr.Blake comfortably sat down on the couch ahead lifting up his legs crossed on the round table in front and waved at them nonchalantly,

" Take a seat lovebirds."

Athena mumbled sitting in another couch beside him,

" We aren't lovebirds."

Mr.Blake laughed lightly as her eyes flashed with disgust while moving out the dirty clothes from the couch and putting them down on the floor to take a seat. 

The man was terrible !!

Athena cursed inwardly and sat down with Ethan.

The man finally realised something and asked between his eating offering a half eaten chicken wing, 

" Want some?"

They both shook their heads instantly and the man shrugged while stuffing the wings between his teeth again.

Athena poked Ethan harshly signalling him to ask the questions fast. Her head was spinning at the scent of raw foods.

How come any person live in a place like this shit?

Ethan cleared his throat as he asked respectively,

" Master Blake, I have found out that you were present in the party where my sister was last time. Can you tell me anything about her? I mean, you are a vampire having more sharp knowledge than any normal human being. Did you see or notice anything suspicious around

 her? "

Mr.Blake replied nonchalantly licking the wings,

" Nope.. I just saw her having fun with her friends throughout the whole party."

Ethan's face turned helpless as he lowered down his gaze painfully. Athena tapped on his palm in comfort.

Suddenly Mr.Blake spoke out,

" But I saw a man outside of the bar who shouldn't be there at any logic."

They both looked up at him hopefully and Ethan asked anxiously,

" Who??"

Mr.Blake paused at his eating, lifted down his legs before yawning loudly,

" Jasper, the right hand of King Aaron Richards who is currently ruling the vampire kingdom in another world."

Athena's back stiffed as she stared at Mr.Blake's face horrified.
