✵SCREW/THRONE✵
______________

Naomi spot Darko, watching the rogues heading straighg to the forest. He had sent news all over the city of Shadowbrook asking all vampires to stay inside their household if they wish to survive.

Rogues only ki|| wh@ťěver that came its way. He doesn’t care if the city heard the warning then it’s their lost.

The rogues are to fight with Logan, then would weaken him before the final stab of the poison.

Naomi walk to stand beside by the entrance, a small window by her side which delivered the sight of hundreds of rogue heading straight into the woods.

The woods where Logan was kept.

She never thought Darko would go this far. There’s definitely something he kept away from her.

Xander also walk to stand beside Darko, his eyes devoid of emotions.

“Is the preparation ready?”

“Yes my Lord” Xander replied.

Silence settled in the room for a moment and Darko turned to face Xander.

“He is never going to remember what he is right? Cause at this moment, that crazy Ɓîtçhy little witch escaped. I’m sure she went to find him” He said.

“Then she would be a dead meat” Xander smirked. “Zarek have lost his senses, probably every trace of his soul in his body. The only thing that could have save him is a soulmate’s blood. But her time is up several minutes ago. Zarek must be beyond healing now…”

“Soulmate?” Darko frowned. Even Naomi that was eavesdropping also frowned.

“Yes. Zarek is young foolish Vampire. Soulmates are only possible for ancient pure blood vampires who made rituals to find one. Zarek is just twenty-three years old hybrid, you need not to worry my Lord” Xander smiled and Darko nodded.

He knew very well that Xander was right.

However, Naomi stood with shock

‘The girl also mentioned that she was master Zarek’s soulmate’

Naomi recalled how she had burst into laughter over it. What if, her maid’s word turned out to be true.

She overlooked the woods miles away from them and wondered if Amelia had saved Logan already or maybe good as dead.

As Xander entered his room, he found his daughter Nikita waiting. She held a cold look.

Xander ignores her and walked towards his drawer to pick some items, the grand Lords will be arriving soon.

“Father” Nikita called, her voice cold. “Is this what you really want?” She asked.

“What do you mean dear?”

“You’re doing the wrong thing. You’re the Duke of Shadowbrook and you should do it right” Nikita said.

“My job is to serve the Lord and I’m doing it whether he is right or wrong”

“He is not the Lord”

“He is presently, and I made an oat to serve every Lord on the throne. Darko is the current Lord” Xander said and made to leave.

“But he is not the chosen one!” Nikita yelled and Xander stopped to face her.

“Have you ever seen a chosen Lord not sitting on that d@mn throne?” Nikita asked and Xander’s jaw clinched.

Rogues, so many Rogues that had lost their senses, most of them are created by the vampires.

In many years, those bitten human that are supposed to turn into one of them, couldn’t handle the bite. Instead of ki||ing them, it turned them into another breed of vampires.

Dangerously strong, incredibly fast and viscous in every way.

They were supposed to be ki||ed but a decision was made to keep them to win war. They began to study the rogue, to know how they act, fight, smell and listen. In that way, they knew to control them.

The smell of blood and ashes of the coals calls their attention and drive them crazy.

And that scent, they had spread it across the woods. That was why they were heading fast into it. Fast.

Some insanely strong vampires are also running into the woods with them, with deadly weapons.

“Logan” Amelia called as Logan dragged her further into the woods searching for a place safe for her.

“Logan” She called this time making him face her.

“Please let me just take you out of here” She whispered.

“I just swore to deal with them. I’m not running away. You can vanish right?”

“Yeah, but I’m not leaving you…” She shook her head.

“Hey” He held her head side by side, his face inches from hers.

“You wanna help me right?” He asked and she nodded. “Then leave and vanish far away…”

“That would be an act of a coward. I wanna fight your war. Our war. If they think we are forbidden then let’s show them that we’re not” Amelia nodded.

“Then go castle. I overheard Darko mentioning the word witch.. I think…”

“There’s another witch in the castle” Amelia completed his word and Logan smiled.

“I guess you have an @zz to kick” He said and the both chuckled. He placed his forehead on hers, both feeling each others.

“Do you feel it?” Logan asked as his smile wider.

“Our souls” Amelia chuckled and opened her eyes again. “If something doesn’t go right, I’ll vanish and come to your side…”

“Need not to worry my love. Nothing will go wrong. They are nothing but lowly peasants which I’m gonna smash under my feet” Logan said.

They both chuckled.

“I’m their Lord” Logan eyes flashed red, burning with power.

Amelia put her lips on his didn’t waste a moment kissing her back. Their lips crazily move against each other but it was only brief.

Breaking the kiss Amelia slowly vanished.

The loud sneer and stomping feet to the dry left. The fast wind that blew by them and the smell of their intentions filled the air in the forest.

Logan shut his eyes.

‘A Chosen Lord are unbeatable, they are invincible and crazy when it comes to war. Shadowbrook has the most powerful Lords over the history of Vampires. But you Logan, you’re special. You might have know what power you posses but I can feel it. It’s locked up and only need a trigger to be open. And one day if that power unleashed then you’ll be unbeatable. Stronger than any Lord that have come to existence..’

Those were the word of Carson, his father.

Logan search deep inside him finding that sense called power running through and there, he found it.

His eyes turned black and the deel shade of red. His skin darken and red vein travelled around his face and broad exposed chest and tattooed back. His muscles hardened, his fangs and claws hideously long as he finally spot those thousands of rouge approaching him.

Massaging his neck bone the around him tense and in a breathless moment, he ki||ed ten in a second.

Blood splashing all over the woods.
____

Vanishing back to the castle, Amelia made to find the witch, however, she surprisingly find the witch waiting for her already.

A woman who was surprisingly beautiful with a long black hair that cascaded down her back to her tight like waterfall. She has black make up and was surprisingly exquisite. Her expression was blank as she stared at Amelia.

‘$h|t!’ Lyra cursed inside Amelia’s head.

‘Is something wrong?’ Amelia asked standing alert.

‘I don’t think we can beat her. She is f-__-king strong’ Lyra replied.

‘How strong’

‘On the scale of ten, we are five and she… She broke the scale’

‘Wow, thanks Lyra, that really helped my confidence’ Amelia said.

‘Wow Amelia, that really help the part of my honesty’

‘How do we beat her? You’re a witch and she also a witch…’

‘Witches have grades and she is way over the top…’

“Are you two going to keep chatting, buzzing my ears with your whining or you’re going to deal with me?” The strange witch before Amelia asked.

Amelia raised her chin high. “Why are you helping the vampires? I thought, the witches and vampires are meant to be enemies…”

“Why are you here then? Why have you come all the way from new York to stay in hell?” The witch questioned back.

“It’s my destiny. I can’t run away from it”

The witch laughed lightly. “It’s my destiny too”

“How did you survive?”

“That question should go to the little witch inside your head”

‘Lyra, what is he talking about?’ Amelia asked Lyra inwardly.

‘It’s going to ruin your confidence if I do tell you’

‘Well, I’m supposed to know who I’m fighting with right?’

Lyra sighed. ‘Have you ever have a dream of a figure betraying you? The witches have Queens. And our Queen that time we were attacked had five daughters, only two of them survived which is me and Elara. I thought she was dead, since every of my people was dead”

‘So what you’re saying is the black Ɓîtçh here before us is your sister?…’

“I can hear you” Elara snapped.

“Do I look like I care?” Amelia raised a brow.

“You’re such a fool if you think you can go against me” Elara scoffed.

‘When my mother, the Queen died, every witches was vunurable. The night was bloody as I watch every one of my people die. I thought I was the only one who survived but.. I guess someone actually betrayed us’ Lyra growled inside Amelia and she immediately felt anger surging through her.

“Oh dear Lyra, do you really think I had a choice. I was kidnapped and tortured but mother didn’t care to find me. She had always least love me. I had no choice but to help the vampire who gave me all what I need. Power and long life” Elara smirked.

“Being locked up in a dark room isn’t power”

‘Mother never h@ťěs you. She was worried when you disappeared and had thought of sending some witches warrior to find you. But your betrayal interrupted. This is no f-__-king power Elara!’ Lyra added.

“You two don’t know what power is” Elara smirked and fixated her gaze on her hand which brings out red flames.

Blood magic.

“You see when my mother died. I expected her power to come to me but it didn’t. Instead, it went to Lyra. She never knew and never wake that power so Darko made a plan to destroy her. I also took part in it…”

‘You Ɓîtçh!’ Lyra roared and Amelia head spun as her eyes suddenly glowed.

‘Easy Lyra!’ Amelia snapped at Lyra.

‘She sacrificed the clan to get that power!’ Lyra roared again.

“Once Darko becomes Lord, your Logan will die in this war. And when that happens, I’ll laugh at your scream as you suffer the same fate as my sister” Elara said to Amelia.

“Oh yeah?” Amelia scoffed. “Sadly, you won’t live to withness it.

Elara’s dark laugh rented the air. She waved her hand and immediately Amelia found herself in another place.

A desert land, hot and filled with just sand. Elara appeared before her.

‘How the f-__-k did she take me here without holding me?’ Amelia asked Lyra, panicking.

‘She posses blood magic Amelia’ Lyra replied.

“So you’re screw” Elara chuckled as her hand began to glow again. “Remember this place, Lyra”

‘Desert land of the dead’ Lyra whispered in Amelia’s head.

‘You mean like mummies?’ Amelia asked looking alround.

The land shook as an army of mummies emerge from the sand, they were of the different sizes, most of them huge. And also holding weapons…

“It won’t be fun ki||ing you right away Amelia. Let’s see how you handle this” Elara chuckled and immediately vanish.

Amelia tried to vanish but it didn’t work.

‘She locked us up, our power is limited an also, these things doesn’t die’ Lyra said and Amelia began to sweat.

“I guess we’re screwed” Amelia muttered as the thousands of mummies sorrounded her.

Kali found a way to bring Jasper and Charlotte into the castle, she knows many way of entering since the vampire warriors are busy.

“We need to find Amelia” Charlotte muttered.

“And what?” Sam’s voice sounded behind them and they all turn to look at him.

“Isn’t that Logan dad’s assistant?” Jasper whispered.

“He is” Charlotte replied.

“I know you two. What are you doing here? How did you even get here?” He asked.

“A friend help. He’s pretty influencive”

Sam made to come closer and Kali stepped before them protectively, a small frown on her face.

“He’s not an enemy Kali” Jasper said while Sam frowned. Kali eased up.

“You know this is Naomi’s daughter right?” Sam raised a brow, obviously not please to see Kali with them.

“Yeah, she saved me, and she is my girlfriend” Jasper responded and Sam’s lips fell apart again.

The court was filled with grand Lords from other city. Since Shadowbrook is above them all, every single matter also involves them.

The news, Logan had gone in gone berserk had spread like wildfire.

“Decision made. Darko will become permanent Lord and Zarek will die”

The court agreed and Darko smiled to himself, feeling on top of the world. Finally. Zarek is disappearing from the surface of his life.

“I’m sure, Lord Darko have a plan to stop him. Cus I don’t think the rogues will be able to handle a cold blooded breed like Zarek” one of the Lord’s spat, disgust flashing in his gaze.

“Of course, that’s why I’m glad we made this decision quick” Darko stood with a smile and approach the grand throne bath in gold. His throne…

Or so he thought…

“Ever since the tragic incident of Zarek ki||ing hundreds of our own. I and the Duke had prepared something that would ki|| him. Once the rogue weaken him, we’ll stab him with the potion and end his life” Darko said and sat on the throne.

Naomi stood around the corner, watching everything. She then turn to leave the place.

“But he went Beserk that day, because you ki||ed Carson, the Ex lord, also your father” One of the ancient Lord spoke and and Darko gave him a look.

“My father? A man who betrayed his own people for a mere human. He bought shame upon us, bringing forth what is forbidden and have me to call him my brother. Even after his mate died, he decided to sacrifice the chosen Lord power, isn’t that an insult. And now, the tribulation we are facing is solely because of him. So don’t you call that kind of a deserter my father.. or I’ll cut your tongue and searve you to the d@mn rouges!” Darko roared and the court turned silent.

Most of the grand Lords agreed with a light nod.

However the large pair of imposing doors slowly open. He was still shirtless, the blood and tattoos made him look incredibly dangerous.

He stepped in dragging one of the rogue that was almost dead with him.

As he walked across the hall, all eyes widened with shock. Many of the grand Lords stood to their feets and the air in the grand hall tense.

Darko looked like someone who is about to pee on his part.

How in heaven is this guy here, sane and health? Not only that… Did this motherf-__-ker ki||ed thousands of rogue I’m barely an hour?

Logan dropped the rogue at the middle of the hall. He glance over it.

“You didn’t send enough of these f-__-ked up creatures, brother” He smiled and looked Darko who remain seated on his throne.

“Why are all you bastards having a gathering without your Lord?” Logan’s eyes glowed as it scan the other Lords.. they felt it..

The authority!

Logan returned his gaze to Darko again, he was f-__-king scary.

“And for you Darko.. you’re sitting in a wrong place. That throne is f-__-king mine” He growled…
