Rafael turned to see Hazel was standing on the left door in her nightgown. Her hair was scattered all over her face and she was drenched from tip to toe.
“Rafael, save me please.” she whispered in a low voice as her face looked scared. She was looking around frantically afraid.
“Rafael, please!” She called him again when he did not react to her pleas. His eyes narrowed on her face and he took hasty steps towards her.
“What are you doing here?” The girl was surprised that instead of saving her, he was asking her a question when the water had already reached their chests.
The speed of the rain was so fast that it would only be a matter of minutes before they would be drowned completely.
“I.. I was following you, since I was worried about you.” she whispered in a low voice with a flustered face.
Her head lowered as she was trying to hold his arm. The girl was looking so pitiful and weak that anyone would have already taken her in his arms and assured her that everything would be fine.
But Rafael continued to stare at her as if he would vanish if he stared at her intensely.
“You have made a mistake!” Hazel’s body started to tremble as if she was sobbing silently.
His hands held her trembling shoulders but instead of leaning her on his chest, he shook her with force. His nails dug deeper into her skin as if he wanted to kill her.
“Your neck did not have a mark of biting while I had just savored her blood an hour ago!” His cold voice made the woman tremble and she finally raised her head.
Though they both have the same face, her eyes were silver shining like the moon. Instead of tears, there was a smirk on her face.
“Tsk! Who would have thought that a human would let you feed that easily. My bad!” she chuckled but her eyes turned vicious and cold. Her nails grew inches long that dug deeper into his hands that blood started to come out but Rafael did not flinch.
She had a malicious expression on her face when she looked back into his eyes.
“Stop the water!” the voice came out through gnashed teeth but the woman just laughed as if she had heard a great joke.
She chuckled with her head bent upwards and shook her head.
“What made you think that I would listen to you?” her chuckles stopped and her eyes turned colder, the innocence on her face disappeared in a second and her face turned deep, dark and sinister.
“You are too curious, vampire. Have you not heard that curiosity killed the cat.” the speed of the water only increased when she said and her smirk widened.
“Would this reason be enough?” her eyes widened when she felt a gun in her abdomen but without waiting for her to open her mouth, he killed her.
Her lips parted but before a word could come out, she already fell on the floor with her face turned ashen.
He stared at her for a second that she would not stand up again. Once he was sure that her body did not come out of the water, he kicked her a few times.
The body was still there and even if she would have survived the gunshot, she would not have been able to breathe in water for so long.
With a cold look on his face, he kicked her once again with full force and then walked out further.
The water continued to fall on his face as he ran a hand in his hair and kicked another door. This time the door broke and all the water flowed out with speed as he walked out.
The knights came running with the sound of footsteps heard in the annex building but were stunned to see a river flowing out of the room followed by a vampire coming out from there.
Before they could even ask a word, Rafael gave them a cold glance that froze them in his place as he walked out of there.
Every maid and knight stopped in their tracks and stared at him. There was no rain outside yet the man was drenched from tip to toe with water slowly passing through his face towards the chin and ending up on his chest.
He looked mesmerizing yet dangerous like an evil demon who had come directly through the depths of hell.
Once Rafael walked in the room from the door, his head snapped back to Hazel who was still sleeping on the bed.
Her face looked innocent and calm without a worry of the world. He could not explain what he had felt when he had seen her there in the dark.
For a second, he had felt like he would burn the world if anything would happen to her. When! Since when has she been this important to him?
He was ready to sacrifice his life for her at that moment. His eyes fell on her face and slowly drifted to her lips and lingered there for more than required. And in the next second he hovered on her body and took her in his arms.
Holding her tightly, he captured her lips. He had thought that he would only touch her lips and feel them for a second before letting her go but soon his desire intensified.
The heat that was coming from her body felt toxifying, and soon the pressure increased. He bit her lower lip, earning a gasp from her.
He used the chance to enter her mouth and then started exploring her. His lips had sucked her lower lips, and then licked the cut he had made there.
His kiss was intense, demanding and sucking the soul out of her body as if it was the only way for him to be assured that she was still there with him.
“Rafael.. What are you…?”
