Leonardo's POVThis woman was acting like a Vampire! Did it mean that after she absorbed Jenna's Vampire power, she was going to be a Vampire, too? But we Vampires had never been like this before! No one could be a Vampire unless we suck blood and then resurrect them! Could a hunter's ring hold all that power? I chose not to believe that the heart of Moonshadow could do this, nor would I. However, I DID watch her wounds heal immeasurably."You keep questioning her. I need to taste some new blood." I motioned to Emily for another round of torture and quickly left the dungeon myself.Back in my room, I lay on the bed. Memoeries about the hunter came to me like tide hitting the shore. Her beauty, her dignity even in the face of torture, were deeply imprinted on my mind. To my surprise, Jenna's image was fading away in my mind,being replaced, step by step, by another shadow, and her image just vanished bit by bit!Thinking of this, my body was suddenly attacked by a flow of dry heat. I kn
Leonardo's POVWhat did I do? Making out in bed with this fucking huntress? This was definately betrayal, a betrayal of Jenna! Emily's screams woke me up. "Your Royal Highness, I... I'm sorry, I didn't know you were..." She apparently choked back, not daring to continue. I got up, found the bathrobe lying on the sofa and wrapped it around me. Then I turned my evil eyes on Emily. She dared to disturb me when I was in the heat of desire. She was now on her knees, trembling, and in my anger I kicked her hard."Get out of my room!" I was furious.When I turned around, I saw the stunned face of the huntress. Her hands around my neck were still frozen in mid-air and she could not lower them. She must have been woken up by Emily's cry, too. Seeing my eyes resting on her half-open collar, she hastily sat up and pulled her ragged clothes aside to cover them a little, but the more she did so, the more attractive she looked!"Huntress, listen to me!" I grabbed her by the scruff of the neck and c
Echo 's POVKindness in this world went in cycles, and I never thought that the people I had saved by accident would now return my kindness. I picked up the keys on the ground, unshackled the handcuffs and anklets. Then I began my directionless journey through the Illusion Fog. The Thorn Jungle was made all the more terrifying by the mournful cries of countless crows flying overhead. Although I was a tough hunter with all kinds of brutal training, I was also afraid when my heart iwas weak.The weakness of my heart came from the abandonment and betrayal that followed when I thought of my family and friends, which made my heart cold to the extreme. I might as well stay put because I was not sure if there was anything else chilling in the forest waiting for me. For safety, I chose to stand where I was now. As an old saying went, standing where you were was the safest option while losing direction."Roar!" Not far away from the depths of the jungle came the roar of a male Lion. Why would
Leonardo's POVThis woman, this crazy little woman, should spend two days in the Thorn Jungle! It was incredible! Not even the most powerful Alphas Werewolf could do that! And she was only a little huntress.I put on my defensive cloak and entered the Thorn Jungle at dusk. Only then could we Vampires be protected from the attack of The Illusion Fog. She was about to faint, and my heart was trembling! "You were really tough, aren’t you?" I couldn't help saying those ironic words to her. The next second, she was crawling up to me with her exausted and battered body, dragging me at the corner of my cloak and weakly said those words. "I didn't kill Jenna, I didn't..." Then she fell down and did not wake up."Hey! Hey! Wake up!" I squatted down and tried to wake her up, but she was probably hurt too badly to wake up in a short time. I picked her up. As she curled into my arms, I realized how tiny she was, almost a head shorter than Jenna. Now she was like a sleeping kitten in my arms. Her
Echo 's POVAfter eating the food, I seemed to regain the ability to survive. Human beings were different from Vampires. They needed the energy provided by food before they could accomplish what they wanted to accomplish. What I wanted to accomplish, of course, was ESCAPE!Emily watched me eating, though she hated it and even said bad words to me, I didn't have time worrying about that now. If she took my kindness as granted, I didn't have to bother trying to get her out of the control of the Vampire."Anything else? I'm still hungry." I began to make demands on her."What? That's not enough?" Emily looked at me with disdain, as if I were a homeless beggar on the street."No, not enough. I haven't eaten for days, you know. I need food." I begged her, for the sake of escape,I would choose to give up my dignity just for a while."Well, just wait for a second. I'll ask Your Royal Highness for permission. I don't want to waste food and be scolded by Your Royal Highness!" she said angrily,
Leonardo's POVThis time, after I told James to throw her into the dungeon, I didn't look at her at all. Or actually I dare not do that. I was afraid to look into her sad eyes. Every time I see them, I couldn't stop sinking into them.I hurried back to my room, and Nathan followed me into the room with the purple bottle. I didn't say a word, still angry that he had hugged Echo! I really shouldn't be angry! And I had no reasons to be angry! Especially with Nathan, even though he was a good friend of mine, I still didn't want to show him any different feelings towards humans, even hunters. So, I restrained myself."Is she your new blood slave?" Nathan was still pestering me about some of Echo's questions, and I didn't want to answer them."She is Nobody. Never mind!" I answered perfunctorily, and quickly changed the subject before I had a chance to amplify my feelings of discontent."But you don't look like not caring about her at all!" Nathan continued. I don't know if I had been a lit
Echo's POVIt was another dark night. Time seemed to pass so quickly when I was away from my family. My stomach began to growl again. Although I was, as they say, a tough and unyielding huntress, I could not avoid hunger and thirst, because it was the basic human need to feed myself and quench my thirst with water.Water...... I need water...But Emily hadn't been seen since she brought me the meal last time. I was a little irritated by the extreme thirst. After a whole day in the sun, the dungeon was like an iron pan on a fire, bubbling with heat that made me weaker and weaker. I was about to get dehydrated. Moments of despair were eating my conscience like a zombie met a fresh brain. In general, at a moment like this, I should be thinking about someone who had given me hope again. But I thought of Leonardo, the proud Vampire Duke. He hated me so much and probably wanted to kill me himself if I were not for possibly keeping the truth of how Jenna really died.Why was that? Why did I
Echo 's POVAs long as I got a strong will and heart, no more pity for anyone, I would have the chance to escape! I knocked Emily unconscious and crept up the steps of the dungeon, which seemed endless. Finally, around the corner, I saw some lights coming from the hall or some other rooms. That dim light had turn out to be my desire and yearning for life.Gently pushing the wooden door, I was completely exposed to the light, like a dove which had been hiding under the magic handkerchief of a magician's hand, but suddenly the handkerchief was thrown. And I, the dove, was about to soar! No one was there! I breathed a sigh of relief. It was a long corridor that I had only seen in movies, and the wooden floor reflected the dim yellow light, making the world soft and fuzzy. I was like a little girl in countless dreams, looking around curiously. I had always been blindfolded and thrown into dungeons, so I had to rely on my body sense of direction while I was blindfolded to find my way out.
