Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

“Our leader is strong. Only he can help you when it comes to council.” they assured but she just scoffed when one of them added,

“He knew the secret passages of council. As long as you are ready to put your life in danger, he can help you enter the council so that you can burn it from the core. Not only that, he could take you to the room of the lord. But do you have the power and courage to fight with the vampire lord?” they provoked her with a smirk.

They were excited to find a human that strong. If she had the ability to defeat all of them easily, their boss would be happy to help her.

Hazel paused, her eyes deepened as she looked at him again when he gave her a smug look.

“So, do you want to come with us or not?” she nodded her head after a small pause when they laughed. “You have to come now and for safety reasons, you have to give all your weapons to us and we will blindfold you. You can still choose to leave but once you meet the boss, you do not have the choice to return. So think again!” he warned but she just took out her daggers and passed it to the man.

They were surprised to see she even had one dagger inside her dress.

Once she had given it all, the man weighed the daggers, even two of them were enough to defeat all of them, and she had eight daggers! They were amazed but curious too.

“Are you not afraid that we will kill you now that you’re defenseless!” she tilted her head as if she was assessing them and then smirked.

.....

“Do you think you can defeat me now because you have my weapons?”

“........” they laughed at her confidence and that smirk as the senior patted her shoulders.

“We do not need to fight since we have the same goals! We need to fight together with our enemies.” He took out a black cloth and blindfolded her and then took her to the carriage.

As she sat in the carriage, she felt a strange sensation and realized someone had placed a protection spell in the carriage so that witches could not perform a spell on the carriage or the person inside it.

“Are we only humans or do you have witches or vampires with you too?” she asked in a casual tone as she leaned on her seat since she could not peek out of the window.

Everyone settled inside, she felt the seat sinking in and then the presence of two men on her both sides.

“We have a few of both of them but they were the only ones who hated their kind. We are fighting against both for our safety. Vampires and witches are dividing everything among themselves as if the land belongs to them.

They both blame each other but they both are the same. Killing us humans, for their benefits.” he scoffed as his voice filled with hatred echoed in the closed walls of the carriage.

“Aren’t they giving separate empires to humans too? I have heard they have made sure that we get the irrigated land near the lakes since most of us do agriculture or fishing.” she asked when she felt the man leaning towards her as if he was checking if she could see through or not.

“Are you against them or supporting them?” she heard the voice from her left and sighed.

“I am against them because my mother was killed by the lord. But I had nothing to do with the division of land.” she cleared when silence followed.

“They are not as fair as they are shown on papers. The reality is far more cruel. So, it would be better that you concentrate on killing the lord and burn the council.” it was more of a warning than advice when she nodded her head.

She could feel the winds getting colder and wetter as the carriage continued and smiled as she touched the wood.

Soon the carriage stopped and the door was opened. Someone held her hands and took her out of the carriage, making sure that she did not fall.

A large door creaked as they entered and then she was taken into a room and the door was closed shut behind her. The man came forward and took the cloth off her face.

She blinked her eyes a few times until her eyes adjusted with the sudden brightness.

A man was sitting in the dark. So even when the cloth was taken off, a human could not see the face of the man.

“Who is she?” he asked in a deep and magnetic voice when everyone around her bowed their heads.

“She is a rebel like us but her fighting skills are great. She was able to defeat all of us alone and she hated the lord. She wanted to burn the council and we promised to help her, master.” said the men who had talked to her in the carriage when she kept staring in the dark.

He singalled her to bow her head but she did not pay any heed to his warning as she kept staring.

“And you think I will help a stranger! What if she was a spy who is acting?” he asked in a colder voice with a slight hint of irritation when the man frowned and looked at her.

“But.. we apologize, master, we will send her back.” they bowed when the man in the dark nodded his head.

“Wait! I do not want to go back after coming so far. What are you afraid of losing? Even if I get caught, I have no trace of you! I will be the only one to lose! So, help me in burning that damn place.”
