499 An Old Friend Or Foe?
Hazel paused and finally realized what was happening.
“Where are my maids?” she asked as she took out another dagger and held it between her fingers when he chuckled.
“Is that the only thing you are worried about right now?” the dagger in her hands turned into a rose when he smiled and she threw it on the ground. “Trust me, you should have a lot more questions and I am not a patient man.”
“Are you here to kill me because we ended the war? But my death would not change anything.” she scoffed as she whispered a spell when he laughed again.
“You are the wrong hazel! Your life is the reason for this peace.
Witches had hated vampires since ages and so as vampires. They have killed witches every time they got a chance except a few like Asher, they are depending on.
But you.. And your marriage with Rafael changed everything. The balance was lost. A pair of witch and vampire. It should not have happened in the first place.
It was your mistake and I am going to correct it. The moment, everyone would come to know that vampires killed you because you were pregnant and they were afraid what kind of being you would give birth to, the fear would return in the heart of everyone.
The hopes you are giving them for their better future, a peaceful future would end with your gruesome death and the hatred towards vampires would return.” The moment she finished the spell, and attacked the masked man, he was prepared too.
.....
Dark light started to attack his silver one and sparks flew all over.
“You are weak! I should not have been able to stop your attack.” he scoffed as he increased his force and she winced. “It is all because you wasted your precious powers in saving vampires. You should have let them die.”
Hazel gritted her teeth as she felt the pressure on her body. Her opponent was very strong and she was still feeling weak.
The forbidden spells! Anne had told her not to use them but she did not find any other way.
“If only you had supported our kind! You should have been our queen and helped us in ruling the world. But you only betrayed us. Lucian! Lucio and now.. Freya.. Great leaders have lost because of you and now you have to bear the consequences.” he said with such a cold aura as he increased the pressure.
He knew that she was not going to stand against him for long with such a weak state and the first three months of pregnancy were the weakest for a human who gives birth to a vampire because it needs a lot of blood loss.
Vampires do not take food but continuous blood from their parents. Those who do not drink can not bear the loss.
“You are going to lose, Hazel. Give it up and I will make it less painful for you.” he promised when he felt a strange pain in his chest and his whole body shook badly.
His eyes widened when he noticed that her hair was turning darker too, not only her eyes.
But before he could comment on it, her powers increased and he started to lose. He gritted his teeth and tried to force himself but with her new powers, he was nowhere to stand in front of her.
His legs started to shake and so as the silver light that was started to come from his hands.
She pushed some more pressure and soon, he fell on his knees and lost.
Her energy had surrounded him and chained him with black light. The moment he tried to move, those chains tighten around his body giving him shock waves.
She walked closer to take off the mask off his face when he gritted his teeth.
“You have abandoned us. It was not only Rafael who was waiting for your return. Yet you chose him and Forced all of us to depend on the vampires.” he snarled, “do you have any idea that a group of witches have fought with your mother to save you too and we are them. But you never.. Never ever cared about witches.” he claimed when she crouched in front of him.,
His cold silver eyes were full of agony and resentment when she held his mask.
“Creating terror was never a way to show love. If you were waiting for me, you should have contacted me the moment you came to know about me and together we have tried to bring peace. But you chose war and you can not blame me for it.” with that she held the mask and took it off his face.
“.......” her eyes widened when she noticed the burnt marks on the face of the witch. He did not have any face. Nothing except burnt red flesh.
“Your mother did it when I tried to save you.” his voice softened, “we only wanted to make a better place where we do not need to bear such harshness when we try to stop wrong.”
She sighed. She did not know how to explain this mad person anymore but she had some sympathy for him as he lost his face while saving her.
“I do not remember who you are but I want to tell you that you do not need to kill others and wage a war to gain peace. Or else what would be the difference between them and you.
I feel bad for what happened but I am giving you to the council for what you have done. And after you attacked me today, I have paid your debt for saving me.” she touched his face and closed her eyes when her vision turned darker.
“Bella.. Promise me, if you ever run away with your sister, you will take me with you. I don’t want to live here alone.” She heard the voice of a man who was running behind her and turned to look at him when he came forward and smiled.
“We can make a better world together.”
