Seraphim grins darkly , he enjoyed the look of terror on her face .
" Have fun human, *pauses* you should know that escaping from here is not an option so ditch the thought . "
He leaves .
Aridalle breaks down in tears feeling miserable.... She tried to stop the tears but it just keep coming.
Here she was day dreaming of a better life than the one she had in the foster home but she was wrong ... This place is worse than it.
" Oh what am I going to do mommy, I'm so scared " she trembled hugging her knees .
Aridalle falls asleep in that position... Like a trance or something she hears her mom gentle voice .
" Rest my child, the journey is going to be long and hard one "
✯
In the west side of the city , Vaelric stood in front of a massive hotel, the morning sun casted a nice glow on it.
" I guess she's no longer hiding " he scoffs taking a step forward and vanishing.
" Ahh mama mama " a little boy with his mom down the street gasps.
" What is it darling"
He points at where Vaelric stood .
" A man just disappeared mama , he was standing there "
His mom chuckles " seriously Donald you watched too much, let's go or we be late "
" Aww men ! "
✧Drizella suite
Vaelric crosses his leg leaning back on the couch while she prepared coffee .
" I guess the amulet gave you good things witch "
She chuckles placing the tea cups on the table... He is right after all , when she lost the amulet , she aged rapidly and became wretchedly poor but now her amulet is back ... Being rich and getting more beautiful daily is now a norms.
" So I believe you came here for something" she stated sitting across him .
Vaelric seats up narrowing his eye " well I'm glad you sensed it .... Aridalle refused to give up the key "
She looks at him surprised " ah so she survived the extraction ritual *grins* that girl gat to be the strongest key bearer in history"
" So what is your all seeing eyes seeing in this situation " he mutters .
Drizella closes her eyes , lights dimmed and the wind picked up , giving that creepy aura .
She opened her eyes and it was pure white , her body lifted mid air....
" I see a ... "
A sudden force pushed her to the ground, she snapped out of her trance.
Vaelric stands up startled, he was not expecting that , one moment she was in her trance the next is this ...
" Fuck " she swears cleaning her nose bleed .
" What happened " he mutters eyeing her wearily.
Drizella opens her mouth to talk but something hooks her on the throat and she starts coughing seriously, looking at her palms she used to over her mouth ... It was stained with blood.
" I can't do this any longer "
" Uh "
She stands up clutching the amulet necklace on her neck .. " I think a supreme power is preventing me from seeing anything "
Vaelric scoffs drumming his fingers on the table " what do you mean supreme power "
" The celestial ruler of course, I have no say in this matter... But what I know is the decision of the key is up to it's bearer not the ones that want it " she whispered almost to scared to talk.
Vaelric runs his hand through his hair feeling frustrated for the first time in a long time... Who knew that getting the key will be this hard.
" I'm really sorry Vaelric bit there's nothing I can do , maybe you can try to convince the key bearer to willingly give out the key " she mutters.
He groans palming his face , now how will he tell seraphim about this . The all seeing witch could not even predict the cause and the celestial ruler has a hand in it.

✧VAELRIC VILLA
He collapses on the couch drained , when last did he feel like this .. Aridalle's matter wears him out.
After informing Seraphim of everything that happened between him and Drizella, the icy look on Seraphim's face was terrifying.
" I hope he would not kill this girl before he gets the key "
*The door bell rings*
" I did not order for anything.... Who could that be " he mutters standing up .
It definitely won't be Seraphim so ...
He opens the door to find Nyxeria standing outside with a frown on her face .
" What do you want "
Nyxeria scoffs and forces her way in , her brow lifted ... Mockery flickering in her gaze.
" Great " he groans , not wanting her company.
She flops on the couch eyeing him . " I discovered it was impossible to teleport inside your apartment *frowns* did you cast a border spell to do that "
Vaelric leans on the table " yeah I did "
" Why ! "
" Because I don't want you around me "
She raises her chin up " it's been more than a century but you won't accept that I'm your future madam , the only one perfect to be by Lord Seraphim side. "
Vaelric stares at her blankly, eyes cold as usual. " Hmm I see "
" Your carefree attitude gets annoying every day "she frowns.
" I know "
She rolls her eyes " anyway is there any updates about that stupid human matter "
His cold gaze flickers to her " even if there's updates why should I tell you ... "
" I'm your future madam you should respect me " she hisses glaring at him
Vaelric tilts his head , silky hair coming down to cover his eyes .
" Well presently you are not , so before I lose my temper... get out "
She opens her mouth to protest but was caught short ...
His eyes glowed red and the wind surrounded them ....
" Get out " his cold voice echoed and she found herself outside the villa, far from it actually .
Nyxeria gasps looking around, it was already morning pedestrians were already walking on the streets ...
" Argh that son of a bitch, he actually used his powers on me .. that godforsaken fallen angel , either ways you can't stop me from having Lord Seraphim. "
She puffs her cheek fuming... Opening her bag to check for her car keys .
" I sense a dark desire coming you young lady " a chill voice floats in her ear .
" Uh " she mutters looking back .
The figure was under a shade but she could still point out what he was wearing.
Dressed in black robes from head to toe , he was even wearing gloves and a golden mask .
° is there an Halloween event I'm not aware of ° she mutters eyeing him .
" I can give you what you desire " the figure says
Nyxeria chuckles finding it funny, this is a fraudster looking for money .
" what I desire , oh pls ... Ion have time for you human jokes " she turns to leave .
The figure steps closer " human ... Who said I'm human "
She faces him back and he removed his mask and immediately they were at a roof top ...
Her eyes widens in shock not from the fast teleportation but the face she saw behind that mask .
" Constantine?? "
He grins madly wearing it back ... She is clever enough to still recognize him after all this years.
Ever since Solmai ripped the key from him , he turned into something horrible than an entity... He did not exist in the human world anymore but was still hovering around both planes ..
His flesh half decayed looking like a walking corpses.
" Surprised to see me " he grins darkly.
She rolls her eyes not bothered to hide her disgust. " What do you want "
Constantine smirks " it's simple , let's work together to achieve a common goal "
" Common goal ?? "
" Yes ... The scent of anger , revenge and jealously attracted me to you , and it's because of the present key bearer "
Nyxeria smiles slowly, eyes flashing with evil. " I like where this is going "
" Of course you do ... I'll help you get rid of the present key bearer... " He said .
She scans him " I believe you're not doing this for free so what's in for you ".
Constantine chuckles, this lady is really smart ... He expected her to jump on the offer asap .
" Oh my own profit doesn't matter now ... I'm doing it for you "
She scoffs " I don't trust you one but ... Meet me when you're ready to talk"
" Wait .... " He starts to say but she had disappeared.
" Hmm she's really clever , looks like I underestimated her, things will be getting very interesting soon " .
He mutters smirking, his gleaming with evil .

✧ENCHANTED CASTLE.
❛ Seraphim's study room.
He sat majestically on his chair facing backwards looking at courtyard through the glass wall.
Ever since Vaelric told him the news .. he had been in deep thought for the first time in a long time he is confused.
Begging Aridalle to give him the key will be the last thing he would do , there must be a way to take it from her forcefully.
" Damn it " he swears , the glass wall cracks ... His intense gaze was too much for it .
The door creaks open and Aridalle peeks in blinking cutely, she slips inside quietly, her head down and shoulders trembling slightly.
" G-Good morning my lord " she stutters clenching the hem of her skirt.
He turns the chair to face her slowly, his eyes glinting faintly... A blank look on his face.
" Has the prey come to be devoured "
She shakes her head furiously...
" Then scram " he intoned dully .
She steps forward stubbornly " n-not until you give me your answer "
Seraphim's gaze sliced through her like knife, one brow arched ..
Should he call this courage or foolishness.
He leans closer , resting his chin on his arm . " What answer "
" You promised to give me answer about my request to go to college " she squeaks , her hands clasped tightly in front of her .
He smirks getting amused " can your pigeon brain handle it "
She puffs her cheeks, turning red in embarrassment... " I'm stronger than you think my Lord "
" Yeah I don't doubt that " he mutters... After all she was strong enough to resist the extraction ritual and even having her memory getting wiped.
Aridalle drags her gaze from the floor to meet his and brings it down immediately after she saw the dead look on his eyes.
" I'll do my best and not disappoint you "
Seraphim stands up and in a second he was right in front of her , trapping her to the wall .
She gasps in shock at the closeness between them " err my Lord "
He brings his face closer to hers *she was actually short* lifting her chin up with one of his slender fingers.
" You are my prey , going outside there will make you a target to other predators. "
She bites her lips nervously her long lashes shading her doe eyes .
" They wouldn't try it "
" Hmm "
" because you the god of predators has marked me "
Seraphim steps back surprised... What the hell won't he see from this human .
" Well let me not delay anymore "
" Uh "
He grabs the two of her hands with one of his and pins it up to the wall ....
" My Lord what-- *gasps* "
He sinked his teeth in the tender part of her shoulder, she tries to struggle but he grabs her waist with his free hand bringing her close to him .
Aridalle gasps whimpering,she felt his tongue tickling her skin , a strange sound came out of her mouth .
Fuck she moaned !!
Hearing that cute moan, his eyes glowed gold and he kept on sucking her blood.
