Chapter 372: Where?

The light faes had since moved near Ravens castle and repositioned themselves there, arranging their positions around the castle as guards in the event where more enemies approach. Half of them, led by Zirrus were arranged in front of the gates of the city while the other female light faes were burning the scattered bodies of the beasts and orcs with their magic. And the dragons had also surrounded themselves around the castle. 

"I think our queen is not going to come out any time soon." Kariza said to Zanya. The duo had just returned from patrolling the entire city while waiting for their queen. 

Looking up at the quiet castle, Zanya sighed. "She really needs to rest. The queen had been going all out for days without any rest. And prior to this, she also had been travelling non-stop and had been involved in another war not long ago." 

"You're right." Kariza agreed, looking around now. "By the way… I haven't seen any of those men, I mean those vampires, around for the past couple of hours now." She made an observation and Zanya creased her brows. Now that she thought about it, where were they? It was strange that she did not spot any of them during their patrol! She did not even catch hide nor hair of a single one of them. It was as though all of them had vanished quietly.

Zanya approached the light faes who were tasked on guarding the castle's door. "Are those men inside?" she asked, thinking that they might have entered the castle as well. 

"Men?"

"I mean the vampires." 

The guards shook their heads. "We didn't see any of them enter into the castle through here."

Kariza and Zanya looked at each other. Now this suddenly felt so suspicious. Those men would always stick to wherever the queen went to the point of shadowing her, as far as Zanya knew. So where could they have run off to by now?

At that moment, a light fae resting on the grass butted in. "I remember seeing one of them on my way here." he said and Kariza and Zanya immediately looked at him, the former's eyes twinkling while the latter only turned to look at that light fae. "I saw the purple eyed one letting the wounded children drink his blood." 

Zanya's eyes widened a little. Leon was allowing others to drink his blood?! "Where?" 

As soon as the light fae told them Leon's whereabouts, the duo immediately flew to the place where the vampires were. 

They soon arrived at a small hall where the children were gathered. They were still a little weakened, but they were certainly better now. Some faes, even Zanya had helped heal them, but the children remained weak. The light faes thought they might need some rest and since it was already daylight, they had left them to sleep. Even Zanya never thought that they might be weak due to hunger… hunger for blood. 

"Is the vamp… err… I mean… Is Leon, or are his companions here?" Zanya curiously directed her question at a little blond girl who was still awake. 

"He went over there." The little vampire girl pointed at another hall a little far down from where the children were. 

"I see, thank you." Zanya smiled and then she rose. Before leaving, she gently patted the head of that little girl and nodded at her in thanks. She nodded at Kariza and the duo began to head to the other hall when the little girl came running after them. 

"Faery!" she called out and Zanya turned back, surprised that the little girl had called out to her. 

"Zanya. Zanya's my name and this is Kariza." Zanya introduced.

"Zanya… Kariza…" the little girl echoed. She looked like she was fascinated as she looked at the light faes. "I'm Martha." She smiled and the light faes smiled back at her. 

"You have a beautiful name, Martha. Are you unable to sleep?" 

The little girl shook her head again. "No, I am sleepy."

"Then why… oh, you should go and sleep then, dear."

"But I have to stop you both from going there." Martha's gaze became serious, causing Zanya and Kariza's brows to crease in confusion as they blinked at her.

"Leon… he told us never to go there. So, you both can't go there as well.'

Zanya knelt down on one knee to put herself at a more similar conversational level as Martha. "Why? Did Leon tell you why?"

"No. But he said that it's dangerous and thus, we promised not to go."

Silence went by for a moment as Kariza and Zanya eyed each other. Now they were more than curious and at the same time worried at Martha's reminder. 

Patting Martha's head, Zanya spoke sweetly. "Alright. We will just go and check on them if they're alright. So, you go back and sleep now, okay?" 

The little girl yawned and was about to protest more but she wobbled where she stood. Zanya caught her before she could tumble over and then gave her over to Kariza. "You bring her back first. She desperately needs to sleep." Zanya told Kariza as she smiled helplessly at the yawning little girl.

Without waiting for Kariza to come back, Zanya then headed to the hall. Somehow, she could not help but feel worried. 

Stretching her hand, she gripped the door handle. For some reason, her heartbeat suddenly quickened. Was she actually feeling nervous? She? 

Zanya squared her shoulders back and shook her head. Then she pushed the door back slowly. It creaked a little before swinging open a little. The inside of the hall was dark and eerily quiet. 

Stepping inside, Zanya was about to use magic to see what's inside when all of a sudden, a dark shadow came rushing at her. No, that was no shadow. It was a man. 

The door shut close behind her as her back was pinned against the slightly rough door surface. She was caught off guard, but she could have still retorted if she did not recognize this male scent. This scent that she found quite unique and… hypnotic… annoyingly hypnotic, could only belong to one man. This man who had been pissing her off ever since she had met him. 

"Leon?" she called out questioningly and he suddenly stiffened at her voice. "What are you do-" Her sentence got cut off suddenly when she felt a peculiar sensation.

Zanya gasped out loud as she felt his mouth suddenly latch tightly onto her throat.
