The Bride Of The Vampire King Chapter 4
Advertisement
Mila was shocked for a moment before she violently pushed the man's body away from her.
Apparently, the man didn't intend to insist, as Mila could easily break free and jump away from such a dangerous person.
"Damn it! What are you doing?" Mila shouted angrily, she brushed the back of her hand against her lips roughly, annoyed that the man had treated her like this, especially when she noticed the grin on his lips, the same lips that had touched hers just a moment before.
"Kissing what's mine," he replied lightly, then sat on the edge of the bed, which Mila had been sitting on. "You don't think I forgot to lock the door, do you?" He asked, as he followed Mila's gaze, which was fixed on the door, brewing plans to run away.
Knowing that she didn't have a chance to escape, except by knocking the annoying man in front of her unconscious, Mila moved backward, until her back was pressed against the soft wall.
"What is this place?" Mila asked, her eyes wary, in case he intended to approach her again and do the same thing… or more.
"A research center," he replied.
"What research center?" Mila asked, looking around her, this looked like one of the rehab rooms rather than a research lab.
"A research center for people like us," he replied without hesitation, then put his finger on his lips and squinted. "But don't tell anyone that I'm as weird as you, because I'll get in trouble if they find out."
Mila shook her head, not understanding what this man was saying, everything seemed foreign to her and she didn't know the basis of the things she was experiencing now.
"If you're here just to make me think of the riddle in your answer, you better get going, because I don't want to see you here." Mila nodded toward the door, indicating for this strange man to go and leave her alone.

However, the man shook his head, rejecting the idea.
"My purpose of being here, is the opposite," he said, then stood up.
"Stay where you are, or I'll scream," Mila said menacingly, as if she could keep the man in place with this simple method.
If the strange man, who was wearing this white shirt, was one of the staff of this research center that he mentioned earlier, then it was certain that Mila's threat wouldn't be effective on him.
However, the man seemed to respect her by indulging what she wanted and returned to sit on the edge of the bed again.
"I'm here to answer your every question, but we have to do this quickly, because I don't have much time before the next officer comes and restarts that thing," he said, nodding at the small object in the top corner of the room, which was a CCTV camera.
Mila followed his line of sight and saw the small monitoring device.
"You've already spent three minutes acting like that toward me and now we only have less than two minutes before I leave this room," he said, crossing his legs, as if this was his private room.
Meanwhile, Mila was still paying attention and analyzing the situation before she threw the first question that crossed her mind.
It seemed there was nothing wrong with following this man's game. After all, she did want to know what was going on and this man was more than happy to answer her questions.
"What is your name?" she asked.
The man raised an eyebrow and chuckled. "I didn't expect you to be more interested in my name than every other thing confusing you right now," he laughed cheerfully.
"Just answer my question!" Mila snapped, annoyed. She was thinking about the questions she should ask, but because there were so many, she chose the simplest one.

"Aaric," he replied. "I didn't mean to laugh at your question, it's just that I'm flattered that you asked for my name first," Aaric said, nodding solemnly.
Mila couldn't tell if he was telling the truth, or if he was just mocking her, but at least he answered honestly.
He looked honest when he answered...
"But, you can't call me by that name," Aaric said in a slightly more serious tone, although mirth was still evident in his eyes. "Because, this body's owner name is Bryan."
Mila frowned. What is with this guy? His words just made no sense.
"I know you're confused, but if you really lose all your memories, then this explanation will be very long and might sound more nonsense," Aaric said, as he then got up from the bed again.
Seeing that, Mila glared at him, but Aaric raised his hand in a surrender gesture.
"Two minutes is up, it's time for me to go back," Aaric informed her, stepping toward the door and opening it easily.
"You said the door was locked?" The question just slipped from Mila's lips when she saw Aaric open the door without using any keys.
Hearing such an innocent question, Aaric laughed and his voice sounded like a melody from a song that Mila likes. Hell, she doesn't even remember a single song...
"I didn't say that the door was locked," Aaric turned around and looked at Mila with a mischievous look. "I've asked you; You don't think I forgot to lock the door, do you? Always listen what I'm saying to you carefully." He glanced at Milla when he saw her stare at him fiercely, as if in the next second the girl was going to lose it and tear him apart.
"Don't worry, I'll come again to answer your questions, therefore, to keep yourself sane in this damn room, you better start composing any questions you want to ask," Aaric said in a relaxed tone. "Oh, yes... as much as possible do not take the drugs they give you."
Mila was too annoyed to answer, so she just leaned back and watched Aaric walk out of the room.
But, after two seconds, the door was opened again and Aaric's head appeared between the gap, speaking cheerfully.
"Make sure your first question is; why I kissed you suddenly, okay?" He said with mirth in his eyes.

Yin-Yang
Mages in North America seem to have it all – typically from well-off families, and able to manipulate their environment in ways most of the world would never believe. They don’t even have to bother with the mundane details of life like housework, thanks to their sensitives, who also make a useful source for extra magical energy. After all, sensitives have no use for it themselves, and if mages weren’t meant to make use of it, then the sensitives would obviously have some way to prevent that. That a mage can transform a sensitive physically, with no restrictions beyond overall mass and basic biological viability, whereas magic tends not to work directly on any other living thing, is only further proof. And look at the way they live on their own, barely a step above animals. It’s better for them to belong to a mage. Sensitives in North America live on the edge of society and survival – typically so paranoid they avoid hospitals and anything else that could lead to being tracked, many of them with little or no education and no legal identity or existence. Mages exist, and mages want sensitives for some reason, but no one ever comes back to explain what that reason is. Waiting every day for the hunters to notice them doesn’t lead to much motivation or hope for the future. And once they’re captured, they’re the property of someone with a terrifying amount of power over them. Anything is better than capture. Mages are born to be the masters, and sensitives are born victims. Or are they? Jax’s life is turned upside-down when he’s caught by the hunters and sold to a mage. Andreas is still mourning for his previous sensitive, though, unconsciously creating a difficult standard for Jax to live up to, all the more so while still struggling to come to terms with this new reality as Andreas’ sensitive. A runaway sensitive isn’t what Van expects at the mental health centre. Is this a hunter trap, set for him and the rest of the Donovan family by the hunters? The hunters would, after all, love to see them cross the line openly and finally do something they can be charged with. Either way, Miranda’s genuinely in trouble, and he can’t just abandon her to it. Snatching a sensitive out from under the hunters and hiding her is odd behaviour for a mage – but then, Catherine is an odd mage, living in disgrace in the old servants’ quarters of her grandmother’s house, responsible for cooking and housework. Lila owes Catherine her freedom; is there a way to help Catherine achieve her own, and at what price? Tension is building between traditionally-minded mages and those advocating change, and something has to break. *** Yin-Yang includes a small amount of profanity and no graphic sex or on-screen physical violence. However, sex and gender roles and relationships within the mage/sensitive subculture are non-traditional in mainstream North American terms. The key criterion in a primary relationship is not relative sex or gender, but the pairing of mage and sensitive; given the transformation of sensitives by their mages, physical sex is non-absolute for a sensitive, and gender identity can vary as in anyone else. *** *** The way mages treat sensitives is extremely varied and, in some cases is outright abusive. The struggle against that is pretty much the point of the book. It is NOT grimdark or misery-porn! However, if you will be triggered by this, please, don't read Yin-Yang! *** Complete stand-alone novel, 153K words! Also available on Scribble Hub and as a free ebook.
