Her legs pained. It was as if someone had twisted them into completely random directions. She wanted to yell out in pain but her throat seemed to be uncomfortable as if shards of glass had been put into it. Her ears picked it up.

It was some kind of low chanting going on around her. Someone was praying or murmuring hymns but it was in low tones which is why she had to concentrate more. She heard them carefully and she knew that it was not the language she had never come across. It sounded ancient as if Latin or Greek but she had heard Latin before and the words did not match.

​​

And that's when she realised that there was something keeping her eyes shut. They have put some kind of cloth over her eyes which meant that even if you try to open them which she did all she could see was slight light but total darkness after that.

What was happening?

The chance was growing louder and louder and she could hear the more visible and they were in a strange language. The language that she had never heard before and it terrified her.

"What happening!" She panicked and spoke out the words. She was lying down on something hard and she tried to notice everything that was going around her. It was like a hard concrete surface— She felt her body grow cold.

The ritual had begun.

Panic surged her body and her heart crawled out of her chest as she started to feel a ringing in ears. She trashed around her she tried to feel like she had the baby inside her not but the weight that she felt on her stomach proved that right. She was still pregnant by the grace of God.

"Stop it!" She snapped at the woman with the chance were going on. Her ears picked up the sound and her face turned towards that direction. "Stop it I said!" She screamed at the top of her voice screening her heart out, caring for no one. They had to stop the ritual!

Everything continued as if they had not heard her. The chants grew louder sentence by sentence and Adeline's panic surged even more. He had no idea what to do and how to stop them!

"STOP IT!" She screamed even more loudly but had started to stop by the end of it. Nothing is happening according to her well no matter how much she shouted the prayers continued and the women continued to ignore her as if they could not here even a single word for what she had said.

Sobs racked her entire body and she still could not help but try to scream out one last time, only to be choking on them at the end.

She stopped caring after some point. The women were clearly not going to stop their praying and she could not do anything about it. She did not want to surrender but as long as she felt the child inside her she knew that she had a little more time to think it through. They would have to take off the blindfold sometime soon which is then she would try to escape.

And the time came soon.

She soon beard his voice roar across, "today we will be blessed with our queen. My companion return and we would wage war against the current king in take back my throne. Bastard shall never live," he hissed at the end like a snake, "and I will make sure that by consuming the one inside her."

She felt her lips curled up and they trembled as she was ready to cry. She knew who he was talking about and the word consuming send shivers down her spine.

She wanted to hear some more about what was going on and the first time she cursed human years to not be able to hear every detail that was going on around her. The roars that the audience are presented Noah with was deafening and she could not hear anything over it.

She tried to listen more birthday captain yelling and giving out cries of joy agreeing with them wholeheartedly. She angered her head up to hear something more about what he was talking about but there was nothing else rather than people yelling out in vain.

She could see the fear gripping her.

She felt someone come near her and immediately back the way to the other direction. That did not work out as the person immediately manhandled her and took off the blindfold making her eyes open immediately. At the side in front of her tail and could not help but gasp.

The ground which was earlier being prepared by the people was now lit with fire and with people who were dressed up for the occasional in Gothic themes. They were all hungering for blood and she could hear feel it by looking in their eyes. Every eye was directed to her as if they were watching her to do something like a scared little animal there kept there for show.

The person that had taken her blindfold of finally left from her side and work back to previously where she assumed he had stood.

Her eyes found no I was standing directly in front of a full stop if she thought that he has dressed up like a hunter previously now he held a completely different or. She did not know if it was like a villain or a true king but one thing for sure that he was ready to sacrifice and received his mate.

"Please. . ." She begged looking into his cold and red eyes, "Please don't do this." She begged for the life her child. Motherhood had won over her own.

A smile came to his his face showing all of his teeth with two big fans shining at her. "Sorry love," he said making everyone laugh, "but as it turns out, my mate is more important."
