“They’re here again, Alexa go on hide” Mr Rutherford said to his daughter as swords clashed against sword’s,fangs pierced skins,tears rolled out of innocent eyes as the vampires took charge of the area.
There was nothing left than to surrender but Alexa was stubborn and feisty, always trying to make her way in the world.
“No dad,am not going to Leave you alone, I’ve got to be with you” she protested, lifting her heavy chiffon skirts as an arrow flew past her and hit her father.
“Father, father!” She exclaimed as two hefty guards held her hands. “Let go of
me,let go of me,father” she screamed as her dad choked on his blood before
kicking the bucket.

Alexa’s POV
..
..
The tears never seemed to stop rolling as they chained our hands and feet together before pulling us like goats to their destination.
Children wailed,lads and lasses shivered in fear but I wasn’t scared. My only source of living,my reason for being on Earth was dead and there’s nothing I could do.
We’ve heard several myths about the vampires but experiencing it was different,I awful…..the ladies who tried to fight back were either sucked to death or raped brutally.
Even my neighbor Molly was raped to death,it still brought shiver to me but……
I’ve got to be strong if I want to get out of here alive.

“Mi Lord they’ve arrived and I must confess,the prisoners are more in numbers compared to the last result” Barclay said as king Damien smiled.
Just then, Lady Katherine walking into the throne room in her red silk floor length dress and her beautifully adorned tiara.
“Mi Lord” she said, bowing slightly as he motioned for her to rise. “Mi lady what brings you here?” King Damien asked as she smirked.
“Words were brought to me that you were foxed so I’ve come to appease you” she
said,as other maidens walked in bowing slightly before ushering him out of the
throne room.

Alexa’s POV
..
..
We’ve been in this room for three days with only a meal or no meal a day. Some infants were really weak while some children fell sick.
I wonder what kind of king rules this place,he’s so cruel. I thought as a guard turned to my direction.
“You’re slandering the king’s name in your mind, you’ll be punished severely” he said as some people gasped.
But how did he know what I said? How did ….? I couldn’t finish my statement as
the door flung open.
“Mi Lord we have a rebel here” the delirious guard said as I frowned.
He pulled me up roughly by the arm as others were led outside.

Lady Katherine’s POV

“Fiona,what’s going on down there?” I asked as my maiden in line braided my hair. Am Lady Katherine the daughter of the chief commander and it has always been my wish to wed the king.
“Yer grace I think…..” I hit her immediately.
“Don’t think,i believe you have eyes” I cautioned as I sensed the fear in eyes as I chuckled.
That’s why am royalty,I want everyone beneath my feet and am awaiting the brutal death of his old pet,she was too clingy.

Authoress POV

“Arise,the king of zikia arrives” Lord Bennett announced as everyone stood up.
A guard led Alexa to the judgement seat with her head held up high.
“You may have your seat” king Damien said, looking around as his eyes landed on the rebel before him.
“Pray ye what’s her crime?” He asked, looking around as tension filled the room.
“She slandered your name my Lord, therefore she awaits your punishment” Lord Bennett said as other vampires gasped and brought out their thirsty fangs.
“She should be killed,she should be killed” they chanted as king Damien stood up.
“Silence!” He exclaimed and Immediately everywhere was as silent as a graveyard.
“It’s a tradition for the king to choose his pet first so I therefore pick her as the pet to the king of zikia and her punishment will be to witness the brutal death of my old pet,she needs to see what awaits her” with that,he turned around and walked out of the room with series of guards walking behind him.
Several maidens pulled Alexa from her seat, leading her to her new chamber.
