Loved By a Vampire King

CRYSTAL CITY, HUMAN WORLD

The ride was dull and quite.Seeing Ethan in daze,Athena didn't want to interrupt his thoughts parting her blabbering mouth.Perhaps he was too distressed because of his sister's disappearing.

 Even though they had the power to reach the bar in a minute, they couldn't use it standing among so many humans.They were still in human world and didn't want to frighten the people here.Thus it took alomst an hour to reach the renowned bar that Ethan had mentioned on their way.

Standing in front of a giant tall building, Athena observed it carefully.Comparing to other bars that she used to visit, this bar looked more exaggerating from outside.

A logo written in a bold italic words " THE BLUE BIRD BAR" was hanging from the roof top of the building. She assumed that it might be one of those expensive bar present in the city.

She turned her face and found him glaring at the logo harder as if he was mentally tearing it apart.

A sudden question piqued in her mind as she asked after giving a dry cough,

" Shall we go inside?

Umm.. why did she come here though?" 

Ethan remained standing still gazing there and responded in a calm tone,

" She came here to attend a birthday party of her friend.We can't go in like this way.The authority won't let us see the footage if we go in and ask them casually.Serena's name is already in the missing list of the officers. Without police's order, they won't permit others to checkout the footage.

I have already checked it once sneakily but there was another footage left before her kidnapping time.Back then It was under investigation.

So the police took the surveillance with them temporarily.I want to see that was there anyone waiting for her before she stepped out of the bar."

Athena heard everything clearly and included it in her mind vividly. Her sharpened gaze fell on the entrance then shifted on the roof high above. 

She emphasised coldly a line, 

" Let's do it, then."

Ethan diverted his gaze on her face and stared back silently understanding her intention. 

He made a clever decision bringing her here! 

Soon after, two tall figures landed down at rooftop tapping on the marble floor hardly. The sky was much dark above them without a glimpse of moonlight.The random breeze went through their faces whispering something unclear as they were standing at the 10th floor.

Ethan made a gesture with his index finger signalling her to keep quite.Athena received his warning and nodded affirmatively. 

Ethan dragged his feets towards an opened door while she followed him behind.Reaching near the door, Ethan peaked downstairs confirming that no one was passing through the floor. The 10th floor was still under construction. So no one usually came up there except the workers at daytime.

Ethan started coming down through the stairs and gestured her to follow him quietly.Athena was excited to join this hide and seek game. 

She had been escaping from the castle for the past few weeks and fortunately nobody had found it out yet.Gradually it made her excited to leave the castle sneakily. At the same time, she felt quite adventures. 

She never liked to stay in the castle as if thousands of painful mourning buzz in her ear when she closed her eyes.Thus she could momentarily find some peace coming back to this human world at night. Even she found those alcohol very effective to forget her own pains and losses. 

Soon after they crossed the 10th floor and arrived at 9th floor.The 9th floor was much brighter than upstairs.The bright tube lights were lightning the whole corridor as they walked in. Ethan gazed around and found that no one was there surprisingly. All the staffs might be busy serving their guests in other floors.Athena wandered around closely and saw the logo written beside each door " Staff room-1", " Staff room-2" etc.. 

Without wasting the essential and lucky time, Ethan directly headed towards the manager room with Athena following him behind. 

Ethan gave two light knocks on the door but no one answered.Thus he asserted that there was no one inside the room and pushed open the door gently. 

Indeed, there was no one except the hanging computer screens on the wall playing the live videos of the floors and a half-eaten sandwich left on the desk. The room looked so messy and unhealthy along with a stif scent. 

Ethan quickly moved forward and locked the door from inside. 

Athena spoke beaming in astonishment, 

" Aahh!! So many computers!! How will you find the footage among all these? It will take a whole night to search it one by one." 

Ethan replied approaching near a laptop on the desk,

" I don't have to search each one of them.This laptop is connected to all the surveillances around the... "

Ethan paused when he faced her bewildered look. Assuming that she wasn't understanding anything, he gave up the idea of explaining everything and pulled out the chair respectively. 

He asked like a gentle man, 

" Sit here and watch the footage with me carefully. We have to pay attention to every single movements." 

Athena gave him a blank face and obediently took the seat not before grabbing the half eaten sandwich. She started munching it instantly as Ethan offered her a disdain look. 

Shooking his head, he concentrated on tapping the keyboards leaning forward as his another hand was playing the mouse symmetrically. 

Athena watched his movements munching the sandwich and suddenly felt impressed about his skills. Even though he was from a parallel world, he knew everything about human world which is quite impressive ! 

Very soon, Ethan found the folder of the initial date of Esme's departure and spoke anxiously, 

" There, I have found it." 

Athena stopped eating the last slice of the bread and spoke with a mouthful tone, 

" So fast ! Let's play it.." 

Ethan nodded slightly and clicked on the play button. Immediately a video started playing while both of them held their breathe fully focused on the screen. 

The video showed the area outside of the bar starting from the entrance followed by the street.In the video, one by one random people entered the bar with their partner or friends.Some cars were parked in the street in front as people were roaming here and there normally.There was nothing unusual happening inside the video. 

Ethan frowned hard as disappointment flashed in his eyes. He wanted to turn it off at the last five seconds ahead but Athena suddenly spit out suddenly, 

" Stop. Play it from 10 seconds ahead." 

Ethan looked up at her face hopefully and obeyed her order as he resumed the video from ten seconds ahead. 

This time, Athena leaned in and gazed deeply at the screen. Her eyes focused on the spot beneath an old tree by the street side playing in the video. Surely, she saw two shadows standing still under the darkness of the tree. Unexpectedly they had no figure like human. 

A sudden question popped out in her mind, 

" Weren't they alike the Gremlin Guards of her brother?But they are not allowed to appear in human world.What are they then?" 

Athena bit her lips in muse as Ethan observed her expression trying to catch up her thoughts.

As she parted her lips to speak, there was sound coming across outside of the room like several men speaking and laughing. 

Both of them got panicked as Ethan hastily got up reaching near the window but scolded loudly, 

" Shit! It's locked. How will we go out now?Things can be unimaginable if they find us here. We can't handle them with our superpowers." 

The sounds were becoming clear and clear indicating that they were very near the room slowly approaching. 

In her panick, Athena looked around and suddenly thought of a plan. 

She suggested getting up from the chair and pointing at the desk, 

" You hide yourself under the desk. "

Ethan looked under the desk and said, 

" But we both won't fit there. Where will you hide then? There is no hidden space around." 

Athena replied back, 

" I won't hide. Now don't waste your time and hide under the desk. I'm going to unlock the door. "

Ethan denied disapprovingly, 

" No, how can I put you into trouble? Don't say that you are planning to suck their blood.They are innocent. You can't just kill.." 

Athena interrupted hastily, 

" Just hide now. I have my own plan. I won't hurt them. "

" Go", she pushed Ethan under the table forcefully. 

Then she quickly unlocked the door first and sat down over the desk placing her right leg over her left one seductively. Her flawless legs were exposed vividly as she tugged up her cloth upwards revealing her thighs more. 

She made herself comfortable on the desk and gazed at the door putting on a smug smile. 

The door was pushed open as a man wearing light blue colored uniform stood still in awe. 

Athena's lips curled up into a seducing smile as she spoke, 

" Hey handsome." 

Ethan choked on his saliva from his hidden spot cursing her under the breath. 

VAMPIRE WORLD, 

MOONSHINE CASTLE, 

After their intense kissing, Aaron let her go and forced her to lay down beside him.Perhaps due to her suffocating, she quickly fell asleep lying beside him shyly.She had no idea that when Aaron left the room.

She woke up middle of the night hearing a loud thunder falling from the dark sky. She lifted up herself from the bed groggily and watched outside rubbing her sleepy eyes. 

Her gaze wandered around the room and didn't find the expected person. Feeling relief, she turned her face to find the water glass but nothing was around. 

Frowning slightly, she remembered that Aaron had entered the room too quickly earlier.Perhaps that's the reason, the maid didn't come inside to disturb their quality time. 

Climbing down from the bed, she reached near the door and opened it. Halfway through the door, she peaked outside to find any maid. To her surprise, the corridor was empty quite. 

She thought that everyone went to sleep considering it midnight. On the flip side, her throat was getting dryer in thirst of water. So she thought of going downstairs on her own. 

Shortly after, she reached downstairs. When she intended to enter the kitchen, a sorrowful vague scream echoed in her eardrums. 

She jolted and turned back to the certain way. 

Outside, there was a big strom absorbing around the whole castle.Under the frequent thunderstrokes, the castle looked horrified like a death living in the castle. 

Esme sharpened her ears in curiosity. Again she heard some vague screamings.

Turning around, she figured out that the scream was coming out from the hall room down stairs. 

As the curiosity sparked in her mind, she made her away towards the hall room.As she reached almost two steps ahead near the door, she heard the screamings along with snarling vividly as her whole body shivered in fear. 

With her trembling hands, she reached for the doorlock and slowly pushed it half open. 

Her eyes were widened in shock at the scenario happening inside as she clutched the door lock tightly holding her breath. 

Several people were chained like prisoner as there were bruises all over their body.Blood was dripping down from their doors wetting the hard floor as she found blood all over the floor. 

The nasty scent of blood hit her nose as she felt like puking. Then her gaze shifted at the middle of the hall room as she saw a familiar figure standing still like a demon king showing his back. 

He was holding a half dead man in the air with his bare hand as she heard him groaning and snarling vigorously. 

The familiar figure left the body from his hard grip after a while as it fell down cracking the floor hardly. 

Esme felt her breathing hitched. Before she could step out, Aaron turned around as his vicious gaze fell on her turning soft gradually. 

Esme saw the most terrific face that she had ever seen in her whole life. Aaron seemed so inhuman and monster with his fang popping out from his mouth. The warm blood was dripping down from his fangs following down on his feet. Even his whole handsome face was covered in fresh bloodstains without leaving a glimpse of tenderness. He was looking like a monster waiting to kill his prey. 

Before her muffled scream could come out loud, her head was hit by a hard stick from behind. 

Her terrified body fell down on the ground slowly closing her eyes.
