5 Past... presen

Outside the dark chamber, Qin stares at Tian grunting and fighting against the pain. Although she cannot see him; but he could clearly see every single move of her. He saw her get up and fall. He saw her crying, but he stood outside just looking at her.

Qin's thoughts run back and forward. Tian looked exactly like she did 200 years ago. Nothing about her had changed to him. This time Qin promised to himself that he will never let her go. Just like the last time. However, he was afraid that the history will repeat itself.

"Your Majesty, you have to remember that this is not the same lady."

The old man voice rang through Qin's thoughts and made him come back to reality. It has already been 2 days since the incident happened. Every night, Qin saw Tian scream and cry. Now she was finally fully awake.

"I don't need your explanation. Sir Devant."

The old man moved backward in fear. He looked at his majesty in fear. Sir Devant could see the hunger and revenge in His Majesty's eyes. Although Qin could hide the truth from himself, his eyes were the reflection of lies. Sir Devant was always able to predict Qin's actions but this time even he was clueless. He didn't know what Qin was planning.

"Answer me, Sir Devant!!"

"Yes, your Majesty." The old man shivers at the sudden sound of Qin calling him. He was in such deep thoughts that he didn't even realize Qin calling him.

"I asked you. What should I do next?"

"Next?"

Qin stared at the old man like he was trying to put the words into the old man's head rather than repeating them all over again.

"Your Majesty, are you sure that you want to do this?" Sir Devant looked at Qin and he saw a little corner of Qin's lips lifting upwards.

"I am sure as I ever will be."

"But your Majesty, you have to keep in mind that this is not the same person and"

"Do I have to explain myself?!"

Qin screamed through the silence. Sir Devant shivered in fear again. He could feel the anger and pressure coming from Qin. Sir Devant fell on his knees and begged Qin for mercy. Although Sir Devant looked older than Qin, he was much younger compared to the age.

"To complete the marriage. You need to drink her blood and let her drink yours. This will join you together in one fate. In one bond. And she will never be able to leave you."

Qin moved towards the wall and his hands reached out to touch the cold bricks. He closes his eyes and mumbles some words. He spoke super quietly that no one will be able to tell what he was saying. Upon speaking the words, the wall started to shake, and each break changed into what looked like a door.

Qin opens the door and steps inside the dark cold room. He could see Tian staring at him. The stare that was full of confusion and hatred. He approached Tian who lay cold on the floor.

Finally, it was time. This time past will not repeat itself. Qin holds Tian in his arms. He saw her shivering in pain, but this was all going to be over now. It's the end now.

"I am sorry... but I have to do this."

Qin holds Tian by shoulders and makes sure that she is facing him. Then he slowly lifts her chin upwards until he could see her smooth neck. He didn't want to put her through pain, but he had no choice. This was the only way.

Qin eyes slowly turn the colour of dark purple with a mix of red. His sharp teeth glistened before they plunged into Tian's neck. She screamed out in pain instantly at the sharp pain, but Qin moves his hands instantly to cover her mouth. He could feel her struggling in his arms, but he held her tightly.

Tian slowly started to lose consciousness. Tears poured out of her eyes in pain and sadness. This was not how everything was supposed to be.

Qin slowly lifts his head from Tian's neck. A drop of blood was hanging on the corner of his lips.

"Sir Devant, bring me the blood"

Upon hearing Qin's words, Sir Devant quickly moves and brings a tiny bottle which contained a purple colour liquid into the room. He gave the bottle to Qin very carefully. Qin took the bottle from Sir Devant hands while still holding onto the motionless body of Tian.

The glass bottle was in the shape of half moon.Qin pricks his fingers onto the edge of the half-moon bottle. The blood on the bottle got absorbed instantly into it. The liquid slowly starts to turn black and then light red until it turned the colour of dark red.

Qin moves the glass moon bottle and touches Tian's pale pink lips. As soon as the bottle touches her lips, all the liquid disappears instantly. The bottle breaks into tiny pieces and disappears instantly. Tian's lips slowly turn the colour of blood and they don't change back. They were dark and bloody red lips, like the colour of red apple.

"It's done, Your Majesty." Sir Devant voice rings through the empty chamber.

"Congratulation on your marriage. Your Majesty." Sir Devant sits down on the ground and bows to Qin.

Qin tucks the hair behind Tian ears and stares at her face. He picks her up in his arms and makes his way out of the chamber. He walks out of the dark tunnel and towards the bright light.

Qin disappears from the sight of Sir Devant. A man in a mask and a hood appears in the chamber, next to Sir Devant.

"You know what your job is supposed to be right?" The man in black slowly whippers in the dark chamber.

"I know what my job is supposed to be!" Sir Devant replies to him in an angry tone.

"Good. At least you know that if you don't do your job properly then your youth will never be returned to you. Did they get married then?"

"No, they did not. I am a Magician. Don't underestimate me. I changed the bottle; therefore, they did not get married." Sir Devant replies with a smile on his face like it was the perfect plan.

In this dark chamber, many secrets have been buried and today one more was added into it. When the time comes, everything will be revealed.
