"I did all of these. Dianna had no idea about it. She's trying to pin it on herself for us, for me and the kids" he said, his whole face full of pain.
"My wife has always been very kind and gentle," he said with a smile on his face and used his thumb to caress her cheek .
" The mistake I made was thinking vampires don't feel, No that was a very big mistake on my part" he said a drop of years falling from his eyes and the whole Hall was quiet with sadness.
"I changed my wife with the help of sorcery because I didn't want to lose her, and after changing her I thought the good parts of her would be gone, but it's not because she's still trying to force on herself what she did not do" he smiled at the crowd sadly.
"And how are you not so sure that you are the one trying to pin this on yourself" the King said again
"It looks like it is your majesty that is deliberately trying to make her a traitor" the first elder spoke out again looking straight at the King making others gasp surprisingly.
Kaelinor looked at him like he was about to rip his head open for a second but laughed out loud and said
"I will forgive you for what you said, for she is a very close person to you.
The Witness testified that it was only Dianna that was found with the witch and Diana has more motive because she was desperate to live more even than her husband" he said and was about to continue when Marcus, Dianna's father barged into the hall loudly with some elders behind him, their faces furious.
Then they all went down immediately, and started begging him, claiming innocence for her. Kaelinor's hands were tied and it looked like things were about to go wrong for him.
"I would do as…
He was interrupted by the heavy scream of Diana as she collapsed to the floor all of a sudden and started vomiting blood. Blood was oozing from all over her body and she was screaming in pain while her father sobbed out loudly and rushed over to her.
The King had Darek dragged away from the hall and asked them to bring the healer quickly but before she got there Dianna was gone.
"What was the exact thing that killed Diana, and is the King behind it?" a kid raised up her hands and asked and the old man replied, smiling weakly.
"It was poisoned. Diana had already been poisoned before being brought into the palace for questioning so the King does not even have an idea about it"
"But he took the fall". He continued "The people were angry at him for doing such a thing and that caused a huge fight between the humans and the Vampires. Any other questions" he asked again and another kid raised up her hands and asked
"So what later happened to Darek" another kid asked
"In history, it is confirmed that any Vampire who stabs another full bloodied vampire will end up dead. He obviously died killing his own father" he replied and the kids all mouthed ooh
"But what exactly caused that much hatred for humans by vampires? This alone is not a good reason why humans are being hunted too much by vampires, is it" Arianna asked, hoping to get answers to why she had to live like this.
The old man smiled and replied "After Dianna died, the humans still couldn't accept the injustice that had happened to them. The humans were angry at the vampires for what they did and the vampires concluded that Dianna really colluded with a witch for the prince to have stabbed his own father despite knowing he's dead .
Then a war broke out. The humans gathered all their resources and did a lot of research, and with the brains given to them , they created weapons that could weaken and kill vampires.
Catching the vampires unaware because they didn't think they'd be so brazen, they launched an attack first and killed hundreds of vampires.
The vampires, looking at the situation of things, decided that their strength would not be enough to win this war, then they decided to start feeding and draining human blood to kill them.
After tasting the human blood for the first time, it was then that they realized that not only is human blood amazing and tastes good, it also gives them more strength. Then they started hunting humans not for hatred but for pleasure.
The remaining humans fled and ran and since then their lives had been meaningless to the vampires who just killed us like we are normal meats.
"Are all vampire monsters"? She asked again and the old man smiled and said that is the story for another day and that he would also explain how vampires were able to walk during the day.
Arianna Beaveria Thornevale , daughter of Caius Thornevale, wanted to know why she was different. Her mother died right after giving birth to her, and Lady Mia, her mother's handmaiden who had been taking care of her since she was a kid had always told her she was different.
She explained everything to her growing up. How the father she knows is not her real father, how her mother sacrificed her life to be able to hide the fact that she's human, and how to control her urges around people.
Lady mia would sneak rabbit blood into her room in the middle of the night and would have it cleaned up before morning rises. Arianna is 27 old but she looks like she's still in her teens.
She had gone out with one of the noblemen's daughters the other day and during the little argument they had, Ariana pushed her slightly but she flew over so highly that even scared herself and she started bleeding before she ran out panicky.
She rushed home quickly and explained to lady ria what happened, who quickly brought out rabbit blood as usual but it didn't satisfy her till she had to cut her own hand and put it in her mouth.
The moment the blood tasted in her mouth, she got overwhelmed by the taste. It tasted Soo nourishing and good and she moaned "oh gawd, this is so fucking good" until she heard lady mia grunting in pain before she snapped back to her senses.
"Oh I'm Soo sorry" her face a mixture of confusion and guilt. "It just tasted so good I didn't know…
"It's fine darling, I understand" lady mia cuts in smiling weakly and using her hands to caress her cheek.
"My head hurts" she said sobbing quietly and lady mia broke inside. "It feels like my whole body is on fire and I keep getting thirsty and hungry. I crave humans!!" She said standing and pacing up and down anxiously
"I wanted to kill Carl earlier. I wanted to sink my fangs in her and draw her blood till she falls limp in my hand"
"The only thing I keep hearing in my head is to kill her!! Kill her!!" She said breaking into tears again
"But you didn't" lady mia stood up and took her hands gently. "You fought it. Just like how you have been doing since you were a kid" she said staring into her eyes affectionately
"I've never seen anyone stronger than you, Ari. Being strong is not only about knowing how to throw punches, it's also about knowing how to keep our inner demons in check, and you Arianna my dear, knows how to do that best.
"You are brave and beautiful, just like your mother" she comforted her as Ari hugged her tightly, sobbing on her shoulders while she patter her back slowly.
She disengaged the hug quickly and told lady mia that she needed to go outside to get some fresh air to cool her head and had to apologize to Carl for what she did earlier and the Lady nodded asking her to be careful.
"I'm so sorry lady mia, i can't be the good girl you have always wanted me to be anymore" she said in her mind sadly as she walked out .
The streets buzzed loudly at night and one could hear chatters and laughter of people from every corner but the only thing in Arianna's mind was to draw one near and suck the living daylight out of them.
As unfortunate for a man and fortunate for her, a drunk old man walked up to her and started touching her body vulgarly. Arianna smiled to him sweetly and whispered, "Do you want to have a taste of this body"? and the man licked his lips and nodded, eyeing her.
Arianna walked away from him and used her hands to gesture to follow him which she did. She tamed him far into the forest and after making sure she was far from people's eye, she moved close to the man and started kissing him.
The man took the lid and pinned her against the wall while Arianna moaned softly, he brought out her breast and started fondling her.
She hissed in ecstasy and brought out the man cock with her hands and stroked it slowly before bringing it to her mouth and after sucking for a while, she brought it to her own tits and slid it inside and they both screamed out together while their moans and skins slapping against each other filled the air.
Ensuring that the man was lost in pleasure, she sank her fangs into him immediately and the man screamed in horror. He wanted to run but Arianna was much stronger and had him pinned down, draining the last ounce of blood from his body.
She suddenly felt energized after she was done, and a sense of guilt flashed in her eyes for a minute but it was gone as quick as it came. She cleaned herself and wore back her clothes when she felt a chill air behind her.
"Ooh wow" she heard a voice and a chuckle and she looked behind her surprisingly immediately
