RECOMMENDED SONG: Bitter Love By Pia Mia ~❤️

DARK FOREST, EASTERN PART

Esme watched attentively as the fairies brought down Aaron's numb body that appeared lifeless. The sight of his unmoved body clenched her thumping heart into a fist as if she was dying in suffocating.

Within just few seconds, the fairies dismantled those thick silver chains from his body that left several bruises on him. It digged inside his fair skin leaving long lasting scars on it which had scared out of Esme's wits.

Her brows tightened in rage as she glanced back at the culprit viciously. On the flip side, Enchantress was the most shocked one present there. The reason she dared to attack Esme only because she thought that Esme's power was still sealed and won't wake up ever.Under the vicious gaze of the fairies, she felt frightened as her eyes continued searching for a way of escaping.

As the fairies proceeded bringing down Aaron's numb body, Esme's attention paid on Enchantress who was staggering over the raw leaves.

The woman in white long hairs spoke approaching near Esme,

" Princess, we never thought that you would regain your powers soon. When did it happen? Why do you delay to summon us?"

Esme fell in daze as she heard her loyal servant Linda's words. She swiped her eyes over the women who had been her personal saviors since she achieved the supreme powers of high fairies. The star sign hidden beneath her skin was the communicator between her and this fairies which didn't work while being in abduction. Even Esme herself was surprised over this sudden changes all of sudden.

But how did her power wake up? Moreover this powers had been acting weird than before. It acts up without any warning or summoning.

Her head was in choa as lots of questions started popping out inside her brain. Remembering Aaron's health, Esme changed the discussion and gave another order,

" Even I'm unaware of this changes Linda. Lucky that you all have found me.. and.."

She paused before glancing over Aaron's body that had been carried by the other fairies and continued,

" my husband. Or else I couldn't save him from this sinful woman."

Linda's expression changed into a surprised one and asked curiously,

" How.. how did you end up marrying a vampire?"

Esme refused to waste anymore time and replied glancing back at Enchantress who was trembling in fear,

" Let's talk about it some other day as the communicator is working now. But first we need to punish this woman just the way she harmed my husband."

Linda's expression turned dull as she noticed the killing intent behind Esme's gaze. Possessing the supreme powers above all the female fairies, Esme had always been merciless over her enemies and hated persons. She might be appeared calm and elegant but Linda knew too well that Esme was alway been a vengeful person.

Snapping out of her daze, Linda explained looking down on Enchantress,

" But we can't kill her, Princess."

Esme's face sank before shifting over Linda meaningfully. She spitted out gritting her teeth together,

" What are you saying Linda? She tried to kill my husband and admitted to me that she had sucked soul powers of my father. Are you showing mercy over this evil creature?"

Linda shook her head denying and explained clarifying the obstacles,

" Don't believe in her words casually, Princess. Even though we don't have grudges against her but I believe that she never met King Henry nor did she sucked his blood. She was trying to break your confidence so that she can kill you easily."

Gazing over Enchantress who was surrounded by fairies, Linda continued dimming her eyes,

" I know well about her. She was born as hybrid but later obtained all dark magical powers using wrong method or sucking poor creatures. As per our laws say that we can't momentarily harm hybrid creatures but can't kill them for eternity."

Esme's expression turned blank as she kept staring at Linda's face timidly. Esme asked still boiling in anger,

" Does this mean that nobody can stop this vicious woman from killing innocent people? Is there no way out to kill her? "

Linda nodded before sinking in deep thoughts. She replied in a low voice,

" Possible. Only another hybrid with pure blood of vampire and blessed by the powers of moon deity can kill her but we don't know anyone like that. We can only torture her for the time being and left her nearly on the verge of death. But eventually she will recover after few days."

Esme exhaled a restless sigh and commanded gazing on Enchantress angrily,

" Then torture her, torture her to death until she begs for her own death. Linda, she is upto you. I have to take care of Aaron first. "

Linda nodded before gesturing the fairies to hold Enchantress up straight. Enchantress groaned in protest and shouted out still holding her pride,

" You think, you can kill me? You brainless fairies. Enchantress can't be killed by anyone.. anyone.. you are all fools.."

She let out a sinister laughter that buzzed in the ear and the hiding animals inside their nests shivered at this ruthless tone.

Esme sneered before replying with a smirk that successfully worked on stopping her immense happiness,

" We may not be succeed to kill you but I can pay you back whatever you did to my husband,Enchantress."

Enchantress's smile faded away instantly as she replied with hunger,

" You think, you can save that brat?"

She paused and continued cracking into a wide devilish smile,

" His soul powers would be mine one day and you will witness it with your own eyes. Hahaha..."

Esme's face darkened at her vicious words as she responded gazing at her face deeply,

" From today onwards, as long as I'm with him, you can forget about touching one strand of his hair. "

Enchantress groaned in their gripping and cursed them constantly. Ignoring her maniac acts anymore, Esme quickly rushed over Aaron who was held by her other servants Olivia and Andle.

She held his face and tried to wake him up patting gently,

" Aaron, please.. talk to me please.. Are you hearing me? Aaron?"

Olivia who was staring at them pitifully suggested,

" Princess, you should bring him back to the castle fast. He must be alright."

Esme mumbled grazing his blood covered lips as her tears started falling down unconsciously,

" But he.. he isn't responding Olivia.. Do something.. I can't forgive myself if something happens to her. "

Andle consoled watching over her,

" Don't cry anymore, princess. I can feel that he is a pure blooded vampire and must be very powerful. Nothing will happen to him. We can't recover his state. You should bring him to their healer soon. "

Esme nodded her head vigorously wiping off her tears and ordered,

" Take him near the entrance of the dark forest. His guards are waiting for him on the road. Be careful. You guys shouldn't be found and bring Enchantress far away from here. "

They both nodded in agree with her suggestion and departed on her mentioned path way. Esme quickly bid farewell to the other members before following their path hastily.

Arriving at the entrance, Esme located Viviana vaguely standing on the entrance thus she grabbed Aaron's figure and ordered them to dissappear from there.

Staggering with her footsteps while holding Aaron, she called out Viviana loudly,

" Viviana, come over here fast.."

Viviana heard her voice and rushed forward without fear. She spotted Aaron leaning on Esme's shoulder and gasped holding him,

" My Lady.. where did you find him? How did he get so hurt?"

Esme panted before urging her,

" Let's bring him to the castle now. We need the healer soon."

Viviana nodded vigorously before helping her going forward. Jasper and other guards already spotted them and rushed over to help them.

Under Esme's command, she quickly climbed up in the carriage with Aaron and ordered them to hurry back to their castle.

Viviana and Jasper led the carriage while protecting the carriage from around. After sitting inside the carriage, Esme massaged his palm softly as his head was pressed down over her right shoulder.

After the carriage went away for fifteen minutes, the man on his shoulder moved a bit before letting out a dry cough spitting little blood.

Esme was alerted and tried to speak while grabbing his chin,

" Aaron.. can you hear me? Answer me..Are you hurting anywhere? Please.. just give me an answer.."

The half conscious heard her words vaguely and mumbled parting up his heavy eyelids,

" Esme... why.. why did.. you.. show.. up there?"

Her heart wrenched a bit at his question and replied abruptly,

" Why.. why can't I? You are my husband after all.. "

Aaron laughed bitterly still struggling with his daze state and mumbled leaning against her shoulder weakly,

" Why.. why do you put your laugh on danger for me every.. time.. whe.. when.. you.. always.. want to leave.. me..?? "

Esme's breathing heaved at his words as she gulped down her saliva hesitantly. She turned her eyes slightly to see his pitiful face and replied whispering,

" I... I.. just want to save.. you.. from..

danger.. "

The man laughed softly at her reply and nuzzled against her necks. He exhaled a long sigh and titled up his head from her shoulder before gazing through her eyes deeply.

Esme also looked down to meet his gaze which was flashed with mixed feelings. He demanded like an abandoned child gazing through her eyes earnestly,

" Save my heart then. Will you?"

Esme blinked before sensing a sudden gust of pain for him arousing from her heart.

Why do I feel like I'm caged here in this world voluntary?
