Chapter 62 - Witch Encounter

A young girl of the age sixteen stood by one of the counters, from there she watched two young ladies sitting by a fire, talking to each other and smiling until the one with brown hair stood up and walked away, leaving the one with black hair,

The girl left where she was standing and walked to the woman with black hair, "Please ma, help me out!" The girl said softly with tears at the brim of her eyes,

Sabrina who had been sitting by the fire, waiting for Elena to go get something for them to eat was stunned by the young girl,

"Help me out," the girl said again, tears rolling down her cheeks, she was a beautiful girl at her age,

"What happened, dear?" Sabrina asked with a frown, wondering why she was crying,

"My father... He has been sick for sometime now and it has just gotten worst tonight, he's coughing out blood and I don't know what to do," the girl cried even more, "I tried asking the others but no one is listening to me, they chased me away but I need to save my father, please help me,"

"Alright, where is your father?" Sabrina asked getting up from where she was sitting,

"He's at the house, thank you, milady," the girl bowed deeply, suddenly her sorrowful face turned into a grin for few seconds before going back to normal,

Sabrina walked with the little girl out of the festival, and into the woods,

"You live in the forest?" Sabrina asked as she followed the girl who kept moving forward, the forest was quiet with only cricket singing and owl hooting, they were walking further away from the festival,

"Yes," the girl replied simply, not turning to look back as she was grinning,

While in a land called, Venom, Lucian walked down a hall with a grin on his face, he paused in front of a large double door, his right hand man beside him, the guard standing there pushed the double door open, and they walked in,

People were in the room, people who didn't look like normal vampires, humans or even werewolves, because of their eyes that was pitch black in color, no white in them, Lucian grinned as he walked further in going to stand in front of a man who sat on a throne, he was in the courtroom.

Everyone in Venom had the same eyes, they are vampires but with corrupted hearts but they lived well and knew what they were doing,

"Lord Malcolm," Lucian bowed along with Theodore, they stood in front of a man who had brown hair, sharp features, he looked handsome and young, he grinned staring at Lucian, he was the only one who instead of pitch black eyes

"Prince Lucian, what do I owe your sudden visit for?" Malcolm said,

"A traitor has escaped from our clutch and is now in your land, hiding," Lucian said with a wicked smirk on his face,

"And who may that be?"

"His name is Fredrick, I have been sent by Lord Maximus to get him back into our dungeon, I hope you permit me for this search?" Lucian asked staring at the man who grinned at him,

"Of course, you take your time and do whatever it is that you want and be welcomed to stay here in my mansion," Malcolm said with a smile on his face,

"That's so generous of you, Malcolm," said Lucian,

"You must be tired after the long journey," Malcolm said as he snapped his finger and the butler with pitch black eyes came forward, "Odin, show them to the guest room and make sure you provide them with whatever they want," he ordered with a grin,

Lucian and Theodore walked out of the court room with the butler leading them to their rooms,

"Why does he not have pitch black eyes like the rest?" Theodore asked, "Perhaps he doesn't have a corrupted heart?"

"Hmm," Lucian grinned, "Or his heart is even more corrupted than the rest," he chuckled,

Suddenly he heard, "Trouble," he paused along with Theodore who stared at him with question in his eyes while the butler Odin kept walking,

"I have to leave now. Find your way home, Theo," with that he disappear from there,

As if sensing, the butler Odin turned to see only Theodore standing quite a distance from him, and he couldn't see the Prince anymore,

"Where is the Prince?" Odin asked,

"He had urgent matter to attend to, I will be leaving soon too," he said, "Please inform the Lord about our departure,"

Sabrina kept walking behind the girl, they continued walking deeper into the forest,

"Why do you live so deep in the forest, it's not safe," Sabrina said which had the young girl suddenly halt without turning to face her, she grinned.

"It is also not safe for you to follow a stranger this deep in the forest," the girl said suddenly turning to show her true features, Sabrina's eyes widen.

"You.... You are a witch!" She exclaimed,

"How rude to say it," Nora said pretending to look hurt, "I'm indeed a witch, and you... A mermaid," Sabrina gasp, how did she know? "And not just any mermaid but the Queen, your highness," Nora bowed as if to show respect to Sabrina.

"What do you want for me?" Sabrina asked as she watched the girl clearly in case she would attack, and she was a young girl, what could she want from her and how did she know she was a mermaid, they stared at each other, the witch grinning.

"I want you to die," the young girl said who suddenly burst into laughter, evil laugh that echoed in the entire dark forest.
