In front of their stunned gazes, Ayra finished off sucking the blood gradually. Anna's heart throbbed at the sight of Ayra's cruel nature and started feeling emotional. She never imagined that the little girl who seemed like a newly blossomed flower could be so ferocious more than a tiger.
Ron watched Ayra's movements carefully and seemed to fall in daze. This was the first time in their history that a baby was born with the power of fairy and vampire both. Ayra would be the first hybrid creature that had absorbed white and black magical powers in her vein. If she couldn't control her powers, that could bring terrible disasters for the clans.
After gratifying her thirst, Ayra tilted up her face on their way. Anna gasped softly as soon as her blood covered lips came insight of her vision. Her tiny milky teeth was replaced with the fangs that were dripping fresh blood stains from there. Her curly hairs turned messy that made her appearance symbolised like a devil.
Ayra stooped up from the ground still groaning in lust as she gazed at Anna viciously. Ron's face sank immediately as soon as her eyes fell on Anna. He definitely knew that what Ayra was intending to do.
Ron shielded Anna quickly and spoke trying to divert her attention,
" Ayra.. baby.. you.. you want to drink more? We can hunt again moving forward. Okay? You hear me? There is no prey for you here anymore."
Anna quickly protested skipping aside and warned Ron,
" No. That's enough for today, Ron. She is still a child. Don't turn her vicious."
She shifted her eyes on Ayra who stood still glancing at her way hungrily. She wanted to approach her but Ron shouted pulling her backwards,
" No, don't go. She isn't sober. Don't go."
Anna appeared confused as she looked at Ayra's way blankly. On the contrary, Ayra had started walking ahead timidly as if she was trying to scare her prey with her deadly steps.
Ron again shielded Anna and reminded her again and again,
" Ayra, no. We don't have any prey here, baby. We can head inside to hunt together, okay? Let's go. Ay.. Ayra.. Don't come near."
Anna murmured beside his ears,
" What.. what's going on? Why are you coaxing her?"
Ron replied shortly panicking and backing up,
" She has lost control in thirst and must be thinking you as her prey."
Ayra didn't listen to Ron and started moving forward slowly. Ron reminded her again turning his voice loud and clear,
" Ayra, I say stop right there. She is your sister Anna. Ayra stop. "
Without a prior warning, Ayra had jumped towards Anna in a lightening speed and beastly paw. Lucky Ron was alerted from before and quickly shoved away Anna from her range.
Ron grabbed Ayra's jumping figure and tried to stop her movements. He scolded clenching his teeth and grabbing her waist,
" Ayra, stop. I said stop. She is your sister. Come to your mind."
Anna fell on the ground and looked up at her vicious figure. Her eyes teared up at the sight of her beastly nature as she called out softly,
" Ayra.. baby.. what.. what have you become?"
Surprisingly Ayra paused a bit before gazing at Anna's tearful eyes attentively. Her nerves subconsciously eased up and she jerked off from Ron's grip horrifically.
Stepping two steps backwards, Ayra looked down on her figure and started wiping off the bloodstains vigorously. She once again glanced at Anna and cried out,
" No.. No.. its not me.. Sis.. sister Anna.. what's happening with me? Sob.. sob.."
Ron and Anna both stared at her crying face pitifully.
MOONSHINE CASTLE,
Coming out from the hot shower, Aaron directly carried Esme into their bedroom. He wasn't only contented enough to carry her figure. Instead he insisted on dressing her on himself as the commotion outside increased enough.
Esme stood over the bed keeping her eyes locked on her husband's careful movement and didn't dare to utter a single word. She understood that he was enlarged and feared because of the mysterious blood that had appeared inside her bathtub.
She didn't had the clear idea about its harmful effect but judging Aaron's angered face, she assumed that it could be terrible. Taking out a pink colored shimmer gown from the cabinet, Aaron walked over her.
She was only wearing her undergarments that made her quite shy even though they had just been intimate few times before. Gesturing her to lift up her arms, he scanned her pure freshly skin once again to find any symptoms. Reassuring himself that she really didn't get hurt, he helped her putting on the gown like a child.
From the doorway outside, Jasper's tone could be heard fearfully,
" My Lord, all the maids have been summoned."
Aaron hummed coldly before putting on his own clothes and headed outside gloomily. Esme quickly followed his path sinking deep on the thought that who had tried to harm her again. After that incident, it couldn't be related to Vanessa as she had been forgiven from her earlier mistake recently.
But Esme forgot that an evil couldn't be turned into a saint just by day.
Following up into the corridor, all the maids in the castle were knelt down in a row hanging down their heads. Some of them sobbed hardly whereas the rest of them shivered as soon as they spotted Aaron's silhouette.
Aaron glanced at Jasper meaningfully who also jolted under his death glare. Gulping down his own saliva nervously, Jasper informed truthfully lowering his gaze,
" My Lord, I have already interrogate all of them and they all denied that none of them dared to do it to Lady."
Aaron turned his body hastily and spoke with warning,
" Then you mean to say that you have mixed the blood Jasper?"
Jasper shook his head vigorously before kneeling down and sworn instantly,
" I dare not, my Lord. Why would I dare to hurt the queen? My whole life is devoted to serve both of you. I assume that some intruder might be came into the castle and escaped after setting up his trap."
Aaron sneered before glaring at the row of the maids viciously,
" If anyone come and go inside my castle so casually, then I should just start living in the street and leave my throne. "
He quickly charged forward and pulled out the silver sword from Jasper's waist. Pointing on the first maid on the row, he roared like a beastly lion,
" Tell me who went to the shower room or else each one of you will pay the price. "
Everyone shivered at his powerful voices as the maids begged for the forgiveness,
" No.. No.. My lord.. we don't dare to hurt the queen.. We don't dare.. Please have mercy on us. "
On the flip side, Esme was watching the whole scenario from the doorway and found that the maids never really treated her badly. Moreover what will they achieve by hurting her?
Suddenly she spotted Carol standing on Vanessa's doorstep and appeared extremely nervous after hearing out the mournful crying of the maids. As Carol was Vanessa's loyal servant, she wasn't included in the section of castle's maids. Moreover nobody spotted her arrival on the showroom. So basically she wasn't in the list of doing this crime.
Esme knitted her eyebrows tightly glancing on Carol's state scornfully. As the moments passed, Carol's face turned more sour and frightened that ignited Esme's suspension deeper.
Averting her gaze on the maids, Esme blurted out,
" My Lord, No! Don't.. Don't hurt them. Let them go."
Aaron paused from cutting the head of an young maid ruthlessly. His eyes turned soft as he spotted her suspicious gaze. Trying hard to keep his tone gentle, he asked out angrily,
" You are asking me to forgive those bastards who tried to harm you? Have you gone insane?"
Esme sighed helplessly knowing his outrageous temper and stated glancing over Carol,
" I'm not stopping you for eternity. But I would like to interrogate someone."
Pointing on Carol, Esme asked indifferently hiding the coldness under her clumsy gaze,
" Why isn't she in the row? Isn't she a maid too?"
Carol jolted tremendously after hearing her cold voice and felt a chill ran down through her spine. Aaron frowned hard and commanded gazing deathly on Carol,
" Come in front of Esme. Noww!!!"
Carol gulped down before coming towards Esme and bowed her head slightly. She whispered in a low voice,
" Yes.. Yes.. my lady.."
Esme asked coldly scanning her each single movements,
" Where were you?"
Carol responded briskly,
" I didn't enter the shower room."
Esme frowned tightly,
" I didn't say that you were in the shower."
Carol's face dropped as she mumbled,
" I.. I just thought that you were going to ask me about that."
Esme's eyes dimmed turning vicious as she asked in a serious tone,
" Then what was that bottle doing inside your room? "
Carol panicked quickly before rumbling out,
" That bottle isn't mine. Someone must be trying to frame me. My queen, you must believe me."
Esme sneered looking down furiously on her,
" I was just lying."
Her words couldn't complete before the sliver sword directly digged inside her right arm ruthlessly.
Carol cried out loudly before cramping down on the floor in pain!
