The Last Embrace Chapter 298
Advertisement
Jessy, Adam and Princess Abigail were having a conversation of their own.
"It would have been better if brother Zain is celebrating this momentous occasion with us," Princess Abigail said with a hint of sadness in her voice.
Jessy and Adam looked at each other feeling uneasy inside, feeling a little bit guilty inside.
"Guys, why don't you visit Zain in his room right now?" Jessy suggested.
Princess Abigail grabbed her brother's arms. "Come on bro Adam, let's visit brother Zain!"
"You can come with us, Jess," Adam offered.
Jessy shook her head. "No thanks, just the two of you is enough for Zain," she declined the offer politely.
Adam and Princess Abigail left the room heading to Zain's prison-like room. They brought a bottle of red wine and glass with them so that they can share with Zain the spirit of the occasion.
When they arrived in the prison-like room, Zain was still wide awake.
Zain looked at his siblings and at the bottle of red wine which his sister was holding. "What is the occasion?" his voice was calm as the morning sea.
Princess Abigail smiled cheerfully at her brother, she went to his side and open the bottle and poured the wine into the glass. "Here's red wine for you, brother Zain. Today, we are celebrating the momentous occasion because Jessy was successful in transforming 1000 vampires into mortals. Everyone is happy because it used to be just a prophecy but it is finally happening and Jessy had done it, finally making the prophecy come true! Jessy is so cool!" she explained animatedly.
Zain smiled broadly. "Wow! It's a milestone indeed! I'm so happy and proud of my wife! Where is she? Why you did not bring my wife with you so that I can personally tell her my congratulatory words. I truly miss my wife!" he said.

Princess Abigail felt uneasy all of a sudden.
Adam did not show any expressions on his feature, his face was devoid of emotion.
"Guys, are you going to fight each other?" Princess Abigail asked in nervousness.
Adam and Zain both stared at their younger sister.
"Of course not! There's nothing to fight because we all know Jessy is my wife, right, brother?" Zain looked at his younger brother who looked the other way.
Adam released a deep sigh, he knew his brother was taunting him, provoking his ire, but he doesn't want to give his brother the satisfaction of seeing him lose his control. Everything was his fault, he can't blame his older brother for acting vengeful, he can only blame himself.
Zain drinks the wine in the glass in one go. "Pour some more wine to my glass, sister dear, I want to celebrate tonight with you guys. This is a happy occasion indeed," he said. "Don't worry, Adam and I won't fight tonight because it's a special day that requires a celebration, a night to remember, am I right, sister?"
"Yes, you are right, brother!" Princess Abigail responded brightly.
Adam was silent the whole time.
Zain finished drinking his second glass of wine. "Ah, sister, can you leave us for a minute? Adam and I have to discuss a few things...please?" he said.
Princess Abigail shifted on her feet, she was hesitating to obey her brother's request, she was afraid to leave her two brothers inside, they might go into fight or had an argument because of Jessy.
"Sister—?" Zain eyed his little sister urging her to leave the room.
Princess Abigail pouted. "Can I just stay here while you two are talking?" she pouted.
"No. We will be discussing adult stuff, so you have to get out of the room," Zain said calmly.

Adam sighed. "It's okay, Abigail, you can leave now. Wait for me outside," he said.
Princess Abigail looked at her two brothers. "Fine, I will leave. But on one condition, no fighting okay?"
Zain smiled. "I promise to you, there will be no fight between me and our brother tonight. I don't want to destroy the spirit of this happy occasion," he insisted.
Princess Abigail was satisfied with Zain's assurance. "Okay, I will leave now and wait outside of the room," she finally caves in.
The princess exited the room.
When his little sister was finally gone, Zain addressed his brother. "It seems you're not giving my previous offer any further thought, eh?"
Adam breathed deeply. "Bro, I'm sorry I can't give you what you want. I can't transfer to you my power, but I am willing to stay here in your prison-like room as long as two years, if it's the only way to repair our fractured sibling relationship, I will do it."
Zain inspected his younger brother's face. "Staying here inside this room is not enough to pay your sin. But, don't worry I'm no longer interested in your power, you can have it for yourself as long as you want. I no longer crave your power, but what I'm asking you now is to stay in this room for two years and then give up Jessy. To make things fair, the moment you cut your relationship with her I will also set her free. Jessy will be free, she will not belong to anyone. She will no longer be your girlfriend and no longer be my wife. Then we can start repairing our broken sibling relationship. I'm willing to forget everything and start all over again. We just have to let go of the woman that destroyed our sibling relationship, that's all I'm asking from you. I think it's fair enough, right?" he said trying to gauge his brother's reaction to his suggestion.
Adam sighed heavily a few times. At some point in time, he was thinking that if only he can undo things, he would never betray his brother. And this is it! This is finally happening! The chance to undo his mistakes. He will always love Jessy, he will never find another woman to love all his life only her. But he has to set her free so that he and his brother can repair their relationship. He shut off his eyes feeling the pain, it already starts to squeeze his heart. As if his heart was refusing to accept what his mind already had decided.
Zain was watching the display of emotion on his younger brother's face. "Don't worry brother, to make sure that I am serious with my intention of reconciliation with you, I will accompany you in this room for the next two years, we will stay together in this room, you and I will start repairing our sibling relationship together in this room and after two years we will set foot outside this room with our relationship restored in good shape. We have to let go of Jessy together because she is the cause of our misfortune. Loving one woman destroyed us, letting go of that woman will help heal the pain in our heart. What do you think, brother?"

Blackened Blood[Progression Fantasy]
Broken and lost by the dredges of this world a boy awakens once again into life's game within hallowed black halls, his first taste of new life cold and hunger along with the echoing drip of temptation. Deep sickness festering within in him. Given a second chance by either coincidence or something more sinister, follow the story of he who bleeds black. Betrayal, greed and blood littered in droves across this hellbound path. ********** 2000+ words daily for now, will reduce to thrice a week after the writathon. If it wasn't clear, this is a vampire story taking place in a high fantasy environment. Although while its main character is a vampire and that is one main focus of the story it will also lend itself to the magic side of this world as well. Basically, if you're interested in vampires or magic heavy stories, this will have something for you... probably. The synopsis is kinda vague but If you give it a shot, I think you'll like it. Also, feel free to drop any sort of constructive criticism since this is one of my first experiences writing in first person.Forgot to add that the story will be a little less action-orientated until around chapter 20+ when... well... read and see :) Any chapters with the * next to them have been edited or tweaked. I'll remove it once all of them are.
