All Chapters of The Vampire King's Sacrifice : Chapter 11 - Chapter 19

"My lady," Belle called once, twice, three times but Dua didn't even budge. Belle heaved a sigh, shaking her head. "What kind of woman sleeps this?" She shook her head once more.Dua laid in the center of the bed, her legs spread wide with one of them folded behind her butt. Her one hand was stretched high above her head, while the other laid east. Her hair was rough, tangled with different portions of it splattered in different angles of the bed.Belle sighed again, calling her once more. "My lady." Dua gasped awake, looking around the room frantically until her eyes finally settled on Belle a few meters away from the bed. "Hey," Dua said as she sat up, her voice laced with controlled annoyance. "What... why did you wake me up like this so early in the morning?" She shot Belle a glare. "I almost had a heart attack," she added with a hiss as she stretched out lazily.Then something hit her, and she looked up slowly at Belle. "No way...""Tell me I didn't fall asleep," she said.Be

"Let's go," Dua ordered, her eyes sparkled with excitement and determination. "Where, my lady?" Belle asked. "Tour," Dua answered."But that's what we've done all day," Belle reminded her. "And did we tour up the whole castle?" Dua asked."No, my lady," Belle replied, lowering her gaze."Good," Dua nodded. "So let's finish it up." "We can do it tomorrow, my lady," Belle offered. "You've just returned from dinner, and you've had your bath. The next thing for you to do is to go to bed." "Are you the one giving me orders now?" Dua questioned. "But—""We're leaving now," Dua said with finalty, turning away from the doors of Alexander's bedroom. Belle sighed heavily, shaking her head. She wondered why Dua was so obsessed with knowing the whole castle, but little did she know that Dua had her own plans up her sleeves. They turned away, continuing the tour as Belle showed her different places, and what they were meant for. Dua slowed her steps as they turned into another corridor, h

Dua sank into the bath tub filled with warm, soapy water with scented oils. "Ah!" She moaned, sinking deeper into the tub. "That hit the spot." She sat up again as the memory of the whole day flashed before her— routes, paths, places in the castle. "Just one more tour tomorrow, and my escape plan is set," she smiled. "I'll finally get to leave this place forever." She stood up, and climbed out the bath tub, entering the main shower area to rinse off. She turned on the shower, letting the cool water pour on her, soothing her pent up muscles. "They'll be looking for me by now," she heaved a sigh, suddenly remembering her family. The water streamed down her skin in steady rivulets, washing away the lingering tension of the day, but not the thoughts crowding her mind."Dad…" her voice softened, almost lost beneath the sound of the shower. "I'm sorry…"Her eyes closed briefly, her shoulders dropping as the weight of everything pressed down on her chest.Then the door opened. Dua didn

Dua opened her eyes. Steadying her sight within seconds, she went out of bed, heading straight to the bathroom.Coming back out in minutes after relieving herself, her eyes caught sight of a figure in the dark extreme of the room. Jolting in fear, Dua quickly grabbed a candle, and pointed it in the direction to find Alexander there, sitting in the dark, looking so intense.Dua sighed in relief, yelling at him right after. "Hey!" He simply raised his eyes to look at her."And why do you look like you're about to fight a war?" She hissed. "If you cannot fall asleep then why did you come here? You should have stayed with your lady Reya as planned." "This is my chamber, and this is my kingdom, I can do whatever I want," Alexander replied."This is my chamber, and this is my kingdom, I can do whatever I want," Dua mimicked him while making faces at him. "Royalties and the way they always feel like God," she hissed, rolling her eyes.Turning away from him, she set the candle back down i

The phone rang, and Mia quickly answered it. "Mia Sauner speaking." "Miss Sauner, please come over to the police station," the voice said from the line."Is there a problem? Have you found my sister?" Mia asked anxiously."We found a lead," the voice answered. Mia's hand tightened around the phone. "I'll be there soon." With that, the call ended. "Who was that?" Her father asked. "Police station," she responded, still glued at the spot she was. "What did they say?" He asked, his voice frail. "They found a lead," she answered without soul."That's good," her father said in relief. "But why are you like that... like you've just seen a ghost?" He asked.She finally turned to face him, her eyes blank. "I don't know," her voice was barely above a whisper.Her father looked at her for a while then sighed. "Go and hear what they have to say," he instructed, and she nodded slowly, leaving the room.Mia didn’t remember picking up her bag, or locking the door, or how her feet carried her
