Valkyrie - the Vampire Princess 2 (13 page)

“So you do rapidly what has to be done and finish it!” I pleaded.

“I have no hurry and seeing you in this state. ...I think it compensates all my wasted time,” he said.

“Destroy me soon!” I yelled at him.

The wizard ignored my screams and walked to the next room, leaving me alone again.

Chapter 27

I had used all the force of my mind as I had invoked my vampire powers to try to step out of there.

Thereafter I contracted a vast fatigue and it made me powerless.

The circle on the floor blocked all my powers, nothing happened.

I heard a noise from the corridor. I thought the wizard was returning to the site. A dark creature approached me. Finally, I recognized it.

“Eros!” I exclaimed
and stood up.

“Valkyrie!” he said smooth
ly.

“How did you know I was here? Did Valeska
tell you?” I asked ingenuously.

“We have no time for conversation.”
He needed a way to get me out of that cage. Then he walked away and took several steps back, in order to use his powers against the cage.

“Protect you
rself!” He said before unloading a wave of lightning against the steel cage.

Two dogs came up behind him.

“Take care! They’re behind you!” I screamed when I saw the dogs.

Eros turned his body back and was surprised at the sudden jump of two dogs over him
. Then Eros was thrown on the floor. They advanced on him with the instinct to devour him.

Eros was fighting with two dogs on the floor. He used his vampire powers to get them off him.

 Odik returned to the site and saw Eros in the fight with his gigantic dogs.

“Devour him!”
The wizard screamed at them.

I felt a deep desperation watching that scene and I could not do anything to prevent the dogs hurting Eros. I shook the cage with all the force that came from my distress. I had to save him. He was there for me. I put him in danger.

“Let him go! Do what you have to do to me!” I cried deeply, as if my prayers could save him from some danger.

Vincent appeared
at the scene, flying over the room.

When I saw my father, hope painted the face of defeat. I thought everything was not lost yet.

“Father!” I cried.

Vincent flew up
to the wizard Odik and held his throat firmly with his hands. His intent was to strangle him.

“I'll do to you what I should have done centuries
ago!”

Vincent raised his hand and a metal bar flew up his hand. He pulled out the head of the wizard with it. The body fell to the ground without its skull. The wizard’s head rolled on the ground like a ball.

Vincent looked at Eros struggling with two dogs on the ground. Energy went out of his hands and hit the dogs, throwing them onto the wall. They were destroyed and dissolved like ashes.

Eros got up from the floor
. His clothes were torn, and there were several bites on his arm. He was very hurt.

I
fell to the ground, relieved to see everything ended well. That wizard no longer existed and those devouring dogs were gone. Eros was safe.

“Stay down!” my father ordered.

I buried my head onto the ground, protecting me from what would come
next.

My father stared at the cage. Red rays came out of his eyes, hit the metal and melted the cage.

I looked up and saw I was free. I got up and ran to hug my father.

“How did you get here?”
My father asked as he hugged me.

“It was my fault!” I replied with my face hidden
in his costume.

Chapter 28

We returned to the castle. For me, returning was faster than the trip there. The three of us were standing in the living room. I was dirty and Eros was wounded.

My father demanded an answer
from me about what had just occurred.

“How did you learn of the existence of a wizard?”

I cast a worried stare upon Eros, before answering my father’s question.

“Valeska told me,” I said low.

“Valeska!”
He said angrily. “Did she know everything?”

“She only wanted to help me
,” I said.

“Be quiet!” my father said screaming at me.

I had never seen him like that. He never treated me that way.

“Bring Valeska here!” he ordered Eros.

Eros left the main room and then he returned in the company of Valeska.

“
Does my master desire to talk to me?” Valeska asked, frightened.

“Why did you tell Valkyrie about the existence of wizard Odik?” he asked
, upset.

“She asked for my help,” Valeska answered with her head down.

She couldn’t face her master.

“What help?” he insisted.

“She wanted to become human again.”

“And you put her in danger!”

Vincent threw Valeska against the wall, using his vampire power
. Her body slipped on the smooth surface and stopped on the floor.

“I
just wanted to help Valkyrie,” she said with difficulty as she was sobbing.

“You betrayed me!” Vincent said and knocked his chair down.

Bizak ran into the main room when he heard the noise. He stopped next to Eros, without understanding what was happening.

“And I don’t accept traitors in our midst!”

Vincent grabbed Valeska’s arm, pulling her up.

“You know our rules! Do you know what will happen to you?”

Vincent dragged her to other room of the castle.

“Valkyrie
, stop your father! I did this because of you!” Valeska pleaded.

I tried to do something and made a move to leave the place and go after them
.  I was desperate to alleviate the suffering of Valeska.

But Eros held my arm firmly so I could not go
after them. I stayed in the living room with Eros and Bizak, as we were awaiting the return of my father and Valeska.

“What will my father do to her?” I asked
, scared.

“At the
very least .... He will extinguish her,” Bizak said, with his head down as he looked unhappy about it.

Chapter 29

Vincent took her to the shooting room. A small, empty place where there was only a metal chain.

He chained her, with her body hanging down from the ceiling.

She had no defense.

“Vincent, do not do it! I didn’t do any harm!” she shouted.

“I gave you immortality and will take it from you now!” he said holding a metal sword.

“Don’t do it!” she pleaded with her eyes closed, fearing the worst.

“Immortality is over for you.”

He held his sword with both hands and placed it at the head of the young vampire.

It took a blow on her neck and her dark blood dripped on the floor. Her head rolled on the ground.

Valeska’s immortality had been interrupted at that moment.
