Ayra's face started turning pale as if it was becoming bloodless from inside. Her tiny eyeballs emitted a red radiant which was was constantly becoming hit and fired. Her smooth skin were turning something else that Anna had never seen before.

Anna barely spit out her name with concern contemplating in her mind that whether to touch her or not,

" Ay.. Ayra.. baby.."

Shockingly, the earlier little baby didn't gaze at her with her pure, innocent eyes. Except she received a dark glare of thirst, hunger and ferocity from her that made Anna shifted backward fearfully.

Letting out some long gasps, Ayra demanded in an extremely cold voice glaring from the amidst of her curl hairs,

" Sister Anna.. I'm thirsty... I'm thirsty.."

Anna hold her forehead in anxiousness and took a while to fix the situation. Luckily, her mind worked fast as she suggested making a safe distance from this unknown Ayra,

" Ba.. Baby, give me some time okay. Don't come out from the cave until I come back. I'm going to find something to gratify your thirst."

Ayra's expression was cold and stiff as she responded rubbing her collarbone gently,

" O.. Okay.. It's burning all over sister Anna.Make it fast. "

Anna nodded her head slightly before rushing outside intending to find an animal in the nearby forest.

AT THE SAME TIME IN

REDRUTH VALLEY,

Something more terrifying was going to occur in there. Ethan gazed at the bunch of hungry vampires scornfully as he spoke still holding ths authority of a prince in his tone,

" As far as I know, no commotion had happened recently between our clans nor did we harm your members. Then what's the reason of initiate a fight with me? Don't you guys know my identity?"

Ethan shifted his eyes between the vampires one by one who was circling him with a slow and beasty steps. The leader of the group laughed at his attitude as he responded snarling like a beast,

" You don't deserve to know that what have you done. We have come to finish you that's all you should know, Prince Ethan. Right now, you should think of yourself."

The leader laughed hysterically as the other members joined in his cruel laughter. They had been doing this business for many years. Even though vampires had emotions but this group had no trace of it at all. They only knew how to enjoy their killing.

On the contrary, Ethan's suspension sparked more when the leader called him as Prince. Despite being known his identity, they still came here to kill him which seemed more fishy.

Unfortunately he couldn't get time to think anything further, the leader threw a punch on his chest as he fell backwards because of his distraction.

The leader laughed with mockery again as he spoke sarcastically,

" Tsk.. Indeed a dumbo.. Look at him boys. He couldn't even endure my single punch. How will he fight back? Aish.. I don't like to kill people who don't fight back. It's no fun."

The vampires laughed once again as Ethan's eyes darkened lying on the wet ground. The leader took lazy steps on his way, bend down and provoked him pouting his lips,

" Tell us, the great Prince Ethan Chole. How do you want to die, huh? Should we suck your blood like your brother or kill you by smashing your bones and ribs?"

Ethan's whole body froze at the mention of his brother as he scratched the wet soil under his palms. The veins on his forehead appeared out as he groaned before whirling in the air above from the ground spreading out his unique large white wings.

The leader was off-guard and suddenly got a hard kick on his chin before flying back far away. The other members also fell backwards because of the heavy blow created by Ethan's magical wings.

Ethan's mind went mad knowing the undiscovered truth that his big brother had been killed by this monsters after 7 years. He tried so hard to find the murderers but at the end, he got no clues.

Who is behind all of this? How did they hide themselves so well for this years?

Charging forward to the members, he started beating them madly. The member attacked him from every side but he flawlessly fighted back giving them hard punches. He unlocked the supreme powers of his body to take the revenge of his dead brother. He vowed to himself that he wouldn't leave here until he saw their corpses lying in this valley.

Unfortunately, he forgot the presence of the leader at little distance whom he hurt first. As he immersed in his killing intent, the leader watched his movements darkly when he saw his members were all beaten black and blue.

His sinister gaze fell on a particular area of Ethan's fighting figure as he smirked devilishly. Giving him no chance to beat the members anymore, the leader seized the opportunity of attacking him from back.

The next moment, he dugged his sharp nails at the centre of Ethan's wings as Ethan let out a grunt in pain loosening his grips from the collarbones of two vampires. Ethan's strength weakened instantly after getting hurt in his wings as he tried to kick the leader.

The leader fought back fast and ordered loudly towards the members,

" Hold his wings. Hold him from back and cut off his wings. This brat is stronger than his brother. We can't kill him without cutting his wings."

Ethan's understood their intention quickly. They wanted to attack on his weakness first. Thus he tried to hid back his wings but the other members were too fast.

Five of them quickly grabbed his widened wings and one of them again dugged his sharp piercing nails into its centre. Ethan cried out mournfully sensing the extreme pain on his back and tried to break free from them.

But after being attacked in his weakness spot, his strength had turned weaker than before and couldn't fight back with his earlier spirit. One by one, all five of them dig in their sharp nails in his backbone aka the centre of his wings. Hot blood started dripping down from his ribs as Ethan growled in extreme pain.

His face turned pale in pain as the members hold his firm body tightly. Two of them hold his arms spread out wider whereas the other ones hold his half scrunched wings gritting their teeth in anger.

The leader gave a satisfied smirk at his defeated spirit and spoke licking his upper lips greedily,

" Oh Boy, you are quite stubborn. Where did you get this confident to win over us? Look at your pitiful state. Even your brother couldn't win against us.. Tsk.. Still you hold the audacity to become the future king? Huh! "

The leader opened his mouth slightly as two milky fangs popped out glistening among the darkness as he spoke hungrily,

" Let me taste your blood. You royals have a good such a taste of blood. "

Ethan gazed at him with his blurry eyes as he saw the leader slowly stepping near him...

VAMPIRE WORLD,

After spending a peaceful day with each others, Esme and Aaron were coming back to their castle through an empty path of forest. Having no guards following behind them, Esme felt more lively like an usual couple.

Inside the carriage, Aaron and she were seated aside and his stubborn husband insisted on holding her figure by waist. Even though he was confident over his abilities, still felt a little insecure especially when it comes to safety of Esme.

He constantly wandered his eyes outside to examine everything through the peephole of the door. Soon after, the carriage paused at the midway of the path abruptly.

Aaron's face darkened as he shouted towards the driver loudly,

" What happened here? Why did you stop suddenly?"

The driver answered gazing around suspiciously,

" Pardon My Lord ! I have no idea why this horses aren't moving ahead. Should I go down and check?"

Aaron denied,

" No, you stay inside and watch over your Lady. I'm going down. "

Esme frowned and grabbed his hand as he intended to get down,

" No, don't go alone. Let me come with you. This place is so empty even we don't have any guards around. We shouldn't have spent so much time there but you kept insisting."

Aaron laughed warmly at her concerned face and replied nonchalantly,

" At least, we spent so much time together alone for the first time. Who knows if we wil get the chance tomorrow or not! "

Esme's heart wrenched in pain at his words as she cursed angrily,

" You... you only spout nonsense.."

Aaron laughed again while unlocking the door and spoke,

" Okay, okay.. I won't be down for so long.. You stay here and don't follow me.. "

Esme spitted out again hiding the worries behind her eyes,

" Be careful and don't go so far. "

Aaron chuckled and replied proudly while climbing down,

" My Lady, I'm the vampire king here."

Esme kept staring at his climbing figure blankly and whispered softly,

" Still..."
