Vampyre Blood

Chapter Nine

          “Heika, it’s time for us to leave.”   Berries said to the blond king.   Sara looked away from the window he was staring out to look at his servant.

          “Ah, Berries.   Do you think my aunt is finished?”   He asked, and they both walk outside only to come face to face with Illaria.

          “What took you so long?”   She asked with an irritation-filled voice.   “Do you enjoy keeping false deals?”   She asks the young man.   “There is one thing I really hate.   And that is those that keep me waiting.”

          “I am so sorry, Aunt.”   He smiles at her with a fake smile.

          “No, you’re not, and another thing I hate is fake smiles.”   The old woman frowns more.   “Now, move your little ass faster.   You move more slower than I should at my age.”   She walks off quickly.

          “Come, Heika.”   The tall man ushers.   The bad parts will be easy, Berries thought.

          “Yes, Berries.”   The man said as he tried to run to catch up.   Being a normal vampyre, his body was more human-like than super human, so his stamina was not what it should be.   He starts panting as he runs quickly after his aunt’s old frame.

          “Man, she is fast.”   He says breathlessly.   “Auntie, wait for me and slow down, will you?”

          “You’re too weak, Halfling.”   She says as she sputters in rage.   “If you get any slower I’ll have Berries carry you.”   She says angrily as she looks at the blond.   Her eyes went to Berries and he nods.   He picks up the blond and they both ran off to the carriage.   Berries puts the king inside of the carriage and looked at the driver.   The man nodded as he turns back to the horses to crack the reigns onto the horse’s backs.

          ‘Do you know what your part in this is?’   She asked him telepathically.

          ‘Yes, My Lady!’   The man mounts his horse as he nods.

          “Yuuri, wake up.”   Wolfram shakes his mate’s arms.   Yuuri’s eyes opened as he woke up.

          “What is it, Wolf?”   He asked as he sat up.

          “They are waiting for us in the meeting room.   We should get up.”   The men were standing by the doors.   “We are up now.”   He said to them.   The couple got off the bed and started getting dressed.   As he, finished putting his shoes on, he turned to the guards.   “We are ready.”   The men nodded and led both of them to the meeting room where the Demon Vampyre Lords waited patiently.

          “Here they are.”   The guards said as they bowed and left.   The couple looked at the people surrounding the table.

          “My king, there is things we will be trying to explain to you.”   Waltorana took the lead and spoke up.

          “Okay, so what is going on now?”   Yuuri asked as Wolf sat down next to him.

          “As you know you have now fully awakened.   Your bodies have gone through it much quicker than we normally do.   We have no idea what will happen when you use your full strength.   Also, there is the fact that you both are carrying the new heirs.   Sometimes the carriers get stronger while carrying their children.”   Waltorana said as he looked at the couple.   “Do you know why I say this?”   Yuuri nods.

          “It is because of King Saralegui of Small Simeron.   He has this stupid idea that I can turn him into a Demon Vampyre by making him my mate.   But when Wolfram became my mate in all ways that ruined his plans.”   His eyes swung up to look into Waltorana’s.   “Am I right?”   Waltorana’s eyes went wide.

          “You know even more than I do.   How?”   He asks.

          “I have seen it in his thoughts before he left.   If I am not mistaken, he is related to me by blood, right?”   Yuuri’s question had Wolfram’s eyes widen.   His eyes shot to his uncle.

          “Is that true?”   He asked.   Shori walked into the room as he said that.   He stopped at the tense emotion fogging up the room.

          “No, not really.”   Waltorana answers.   “He was not the child of your great uncle.   His wife and your great aunt was an unfaithful woman.   While he was on a mission, she met the king of Small Simeron and had an affair with him.   Hence, the reason she divorced him, escaped, and left to marry him.   He was a regular vampyre so of course the child became one.   When she gave birth to him, she died because she housed an impure child.   After we found them, we put the king through a trial of the Demon Vampyre courts.   He was sentenced to death by pyre.”   Waltorana explained.   “He still thinks he was sired by your great uncle.”

          “Why is that not possible?”   Yuuri asked.   “Sorry, still new to all of this.”   He apologized.

          “Because, she was a Demon Vampyre and the child wouldn’t have been one.”   Manfred explains.   “She was originally turned when my brother found out she was his blood mate.   But apparently, she didn’t feel the same bond.”

          “You!”   Shori spouts.   “You’re our grandmother!”

          “Yes, young one.”   He turned back to Yuuri.   “Your great aunt is with him as we speak.   She has been leading him on.   He thinks that he will come to kill Wolfram.”   He explains.   “We need a plan that makes him become the target.”

          “Hey, would you look at that?”   Sara says with his face full of excitement.   He points at the sunset.   Berries ignores this request as he rope next to the carriage.

          “Heika, if you keep doing that you will fall out and hurt yourself.”   Berries scowls.

          “Sit down, you fool.”   Illaria says as she smacked him aside the head.   “I will not stop this carriage if you fall.   I’ll laugh the whole way there.”

          “Pretty soon is when the fun starts.   My little one, you will appear soon.   Unfortunately, I will not be around when you grow up.”   Her hands rub the delicate swell in her abdomen.   “But with the love around you will never be alone.”   She smiles, as her abdomen grows bigger slowly.

          “Okay, you two.   Listen to my instructions closely.”   Illaria grumbles and Berries had to hurry to keep his face emotionless.   He cannot fail his mission.

          “My Lady, please don’t despair.”   Berries says trying to calm her down.   “What is the plan?”   He asked.

          “We must kill Prince Wolfram.   If not, we fail.   They are still in their turning period so we have time.”   Sara said with a voice full of glee.   Since he is still hanging out of the window, he cannot see the expressions on the other’s faces.   It was full of laughter.   Soundless laughter.

          Fortunately, they are finished turning.
