_WHITE CASTLE, DALASTIA_

The news of Ayra's dissaparence wasn't hidden for a long time. She was constantly checked by her personal female guards who were in charge of her safety. Thus one of the maid came to send her turmeric milk but found that she was missing. After searching all the corners of their castle,her group of maids couldn't find her.Lucky former queen Melinda was having vacation in outdoor or they would have been beheaded for loosing the Princess. As time passed away, Melinda held a deep affection towards Ayra. Possibly because it made her very closer to Edward subconsciously.

The entire castle was in uproar on that night. At first,they didn't dare to disturb the sleeping of Royal Members but later couldn't delay any longer when they were assured that Ayra was nowhere in the castle.

But where did she go?

Arthur and Alexander were the first to step out from their rooms. Since they were hybrid,they didn't had preference towards sleeping much. Unlike Ayra who loved to sleep for few hours at least.Physicians told them that the reason was because they got Vampire's genes the most comparing to fairy's genes. Nathan who was still researching on his books came out from his room out of curiosity.

They all met downstairs and were astounded to find out the news.Without thinking twice, they summoned their fathers who were busy in cuddling their women. Soon almost everyone woke up from their sleeping and were gathered in the hallway.

Athena's face was furious and unleashing fire as she eyed the bunch of trained maids with her dagger like eyes. Stomping on their way,she shouted almost loosing her sanity,

" How can you loose her like that? Didn't I ask you always to keep an eye on her? If anything happens to my daughter, I am gonna burn you all alive."

Athena's powerful voice almost freaked the hell out of their wits. After the curse, Athena and the rest of family members were extra cautious towards Ayra's safety. They feared that something would happen to Ayra if they shifted their attention from her. During this span of years, Ayra didn't meet any difficulties except her unreasonable nightmares. She would occasionally tell them that she sees a pair of burning eyes in her vision which had no proper meaning. As the time went on, they took it as regular habits.

Alexander was the most anxious person among all of them. He kept interrogating the guards rudely but no one saw her leaving the castle.

Then where could she go?

As they kept on guessing and interrogating the guards, the door of their castle brust open with a loud thud earning attention from the people. Everyone frowned nervously when they saw Cedric entering in with his cat. His expression was downcast as if he was pissed off with something terribly.

Ethan spoke first trying to know his thoughts,

" Cedric.. You..you came back..so fast?"

Cedric smiled coldly and swiped his murderous eyes across the guards who were standing distance away. Without showing any politeness in his tone,he sneered lightly,

" How come I not back when my fiancee is missing?"

Everyone was stunned including Ethan who didn't expect that he would find out too fast. It appeared like he had known before them too. Arthur blurted out astonishingly,

" How did you know?"

Cedric replied faintly,

" It's not an important business now. The point is that where did she go? Whom did she meet today?"

Cedric delibaretly emphasized the last part of his words. According to Ayra's personality, she wouldn't definitely try to escape for the sake of Seth's safety. So the only one possibility was left that Seth either kidnapped her or he had forced her to leave with him. No matter what was going on, Seth was definitely asking for his death.

Alexander replied with assurance,

" No one! She didn't even leave her room."

Nathan suddenly interrupted whose room was just left after Ayra's living chamber,

" But I heard her door opening once."

All of sudden, everyone's attention fell on Nathan who responded after giving it a deep thoughts. Cedric's face blackened more as he cursed under his breath,

" I knew it."

He annouced without asking for their permission,

" I am going to find her on my own."

He turned to walk away but Alexander promptly suggested ready to go after him,

" But you don't even know Dalastia well. Let us accompany you."

Cedric declined arrogantly without turning his back,

" No need! Since the guards from Dalastia can't even ensure her safety from the castle, I won't need such useless trashes to follow me around. I am alone enough to protect my woman."

Then he proceeded towards the way where he had seen Ayra and Seth meeting in the past. Alexander still insisted to accompany him,

" But...."

" Let him go! ", Aaron stopped his son who was getting impatient with his behaviors. When Alexander shot him a displeased look, Aaron replied with a smile,

" Let him learn how to take responsibilities. We can go on searching in other places."

Alexander reluctantly gave up and hummed in agreement. But for a single moment, they didn't even assume the Seth would have done such malicious act to abduct Ayra so daringly.

Meanwhile, Cedric reached at the blooming red flowered tree hastily followed by Frenchies who could guess that a storm was coming. Standing underneath the tree,his dark eyes inspected the area and a strong smell of unknown male figure travelled inside his nostrils. His features tightened and a strong urge of killing someone immediately flashed across his thoughts. Even sensing such strong aura, Frenchies shrieked in a corner and meowed lightly.

Cedric dropped on of his knees over the ground slowly. With his head bending down, his right palm caressed the surface of that spot lightly. As the soil power were connected with his demonic powers, some images flashed across his eyes and made his jaw tickling in burning anger.

Shotting up from the ground,he only gave his cold command to his servant cat,

" Follow me around, Frenchies. We haven't enjoyed fresh blood for a long time."

Frenchies wailed excitedly and vanished in the dark air with his master quickly.

Meanwhile.....

A broken hut from an unknown forest was suddenly lit up at midnight. The criscent moon was nearly drowning into the clouds and emitted shimmerly bright light from its giant sky. Those warm light travelled through the window and fell on the skin of a sleeping girl who was curled at a corner like play ball.

Ayra finally regained her conscious and struggled to open her heavy eyelids. There was a little ache behind her head that made her grunting in a low painful voice.

" Is it still aching?", Seth's cold voice came from up and suddenly all the images of their meeting flashed across Ayra's mind. She jerked off from the ground and darted her eyes around confusingly.

When she noticed the unfamiliarities of this place, her expression turned horrified. Looking up at Seth's face disbelievingly, Ayra sutured angrily,

" Seth..did...did you just abduct me.. here without telling my family?.."

Seth was calm as usual. He lit up the last candle of that room and admitted without hesitation,

" Yes, I did..."

Ayra replied with immense anger,

" Why...? Don't you know that they will worry about me and think that something might have happened to me.."

Seth suddenly turned around in rage and flew over Ayra enragingly. Without holding back his anger anymore, his hand suddenly gripped the back of Ayra's head painfully and growled like a vicious beast,

" Whatever they think, I don't care Ayra. You think about others always but have you thought about me? Have you thought about us? What make you think that you can just marry someone else after toying with me for years? Listen to me! We will definitely go back but only after marrying each others. In no way, you are going to marry that retard. I will see who can stop me."

Ayra yelped in pain with tears in her eyes. Never in her Life, she witnessed such vicious face of Seth. His expression was no longer soften like a noble man. Instead it was emitting some sort of cruelty which offended Ayra deeply. The face which made her happy always started to give her extreme fear and discomfort. Even his touch was no longer cautious or smooth and was rough like beast.

Ayra swallowed the bitterness in her heart and protested in a low voice,

" Seth..let..let..go.. of..me..You are.. hurting me...We...we can't do it..I have promised to..marry him..A Princess..can't..go.. back..of her words.. Please...try to understand.."

Seth's face darkened instantly and his eyes glared at Ayra deeply as if he was trying to kill him with his eyes. He growled at her response viciously,

" What.. what did you say? You are still refusing to marry me? Huh? Why Ayra?..oh..Is it because we have never touched each others intimately except kissing? Is that why you aren't satisfied with me? You can tell me any demands now. I am man enough to quiest your thirst."

Ayra's mouth agaped in disbelief. Just when she opened her mouth to spit on his face, a knock on the door interrupted their heated argument.

Seth barked tilting his head back slightly,

" Who the fuck is there?"

A cold chilling reply immediately echoed heavily in the air of forest,

" Your death."
