The Vampire's Love: You Are My Destiny
Chapter 147 - Negotiation
Rebecca was staring at the ceiling of her room for a long time, remembering so well the hideous look of the king that she's going to marry, tears welled in her eyes as her eyes keep shaking.
No! She won't marry that horrifying creature! The king is very ugly, his bulging eyes sticking out of its sockets and he got two horns that look like that of a devil!
Although she is a demon, she has no horns sticking to her forehead.
Waaaaaaaa... she would rather die than marry that hideous looking vampire king!
She thinks she will go crazy if they won't let her out as soon as possible! She remembered the face of that king so vividly as he stuck his tongue out, licking his lips wanting to devour her.
She fainted overwhelmed by fright after seeing the face of the king.
When she regained consciousness the hideous king was already out of the room, she was able to breathe easily.
She needs to escape the room before she will get married to the king!
But how? She can no longer use her power! She felt useless!
She was going crazy soon if they won't let her out of the room!
The small door where the food was pass through opened, delicious aroma of dishes drifted in her nostrils... she rose to her feet and walked towards the food... she was tempted to throw the food while the maid was still outside to let them know that she was angry and upset about her imprisonment but she feels hungry! She can't waste the delectable food that they serve to her today. Human food always tastes delicious for her, ever since she acquired the human taste, she never looks back and valued the dishes cook by humans and appreciated the precious time spent when preparing them.
She picked up the food tray, bring it to the table, and starts eating with gusto.
One hour later.
She was done eating the palatable meal. She put the tray in the door opening, it disappeared a few seconds later, probably already taken by the maid to be deposited to the kitchen.
She went to the closet, grabbed some clothes, and entered the bathroom to take a bath.
A few minutes later, she exited the bathroom fully clothed and began drying her hair with the towel. She was facing the mirror in the dresser when suddenly... a figure materialized in the middle of the room... oh, no! the ugly king again!
"Hello, Laura... my bride! How are you?" the ugly king spoke.
Rebecca bolted towards the bed and covered herself with the blanket. Terrified to see the ghastly-looking king.
The ugly king erupted into peals of laughter...he walked slowly towards the bed.
Rebecca was trembling in fright upon hearing the heavy footsteps approaching the bed. Dang, it! How can she avoid him? If she can only activate her power right now, she already teleported somewhere or kill the terrifying-looking king.
Too bad, she could only cower in fear behind the blanket. "Go away! I don't want to see you! You scare me!" she shouted.
The king roared in laughter. His voice vibrated around the room. "Why are you hiding beneath the covers? Are you scared of my face? I thought you are willing to be my bride? Why you are hiding away from me? Common... give me a kiss and a hug as your sign of affection for your dear husband!" he ordered.
Rebecca covered her ears with her hands. "Go away! You scare me to death! Leave me alone!" she yelled.
"Oh, this is sad! Why my bride is scared of me?" the king feigned hurt in his voice.
Rebecca's whole body convulsed when she heard the bed creak 'coz another weight was being added to it. Oh, no! Is the king going to... to claim her body?
She's going to die today!
"Do you know that I know your secret... that I know your real identity! You are pretending to be Laura but you are not! I don't know why you pretended to be the king's bride? It's not a wise thing to do. If the ceremony finally takes place and your blood is already dripping from your hand, do you think you can revive the king of the vampires with your fake blood? " the king asked.
Rebecca's eyes widened in shock after hearing the king's revelation. He already discovered her secret! Wait... is this guy... really the king or not?
"I know your secret, you are not Laura, you are just copying her image pretending to be her! If they will discover your disguise you will be thrown into a furnace with flames burning your whole body. They will punish you severely! Think of that!" the king said.
Rebecca bolted from her hiding place and looked at the king and pointed her index finger directly at his ugly face. "You are not the king! You are just pretending to be the king! You are also an impostor like me!" she accused him.
The ugly king chuckled. "You are right, I'm not the real king! I'm just disguising just like you!" he confessed. "But unlike you, if they know about my disguise, they won't kill me... but you... my dear will suffer a terrible death if they knew that your blood is fake and can't wake up the king from his long slumber!" he told her.
Rebecca pondered about the fake king's statement. "So... you mean to say that the real king is sleep for a long time and needs to be awakened by Laura's blood?" she asked, wanting to clarify that issue first.
"Yeah! You are correct! The king has been in a deep slumber for a very long time and only Laura's blood can bring him back to life. Because Laura is the king's soulmate and his beloved woman," the fake king said.
"I see... so who are you? What is your relation to the king? If you are not the king - how come you can come and go inside this room?" she asked him bravely, no longer afraid of his ugly face.
The guy was shaking his head. "You asked too many questions which are not even important for your sake. Let me ask you a question... if they discover your secret... what will you do? How can you defend yourself? Do you have any plans?"
Rebecca was silent for a moment pondering about his questions. She shook her head sadly. "Honestly, I don't know what to do..." she replied sadly. Tears welled in her eyes, she's feeling hopeless when it comes to her current situation.
"You are too brave and stupid to imitate Laura's face and voice. Yet you can't even help and protect yourself once your secret is discovered," the mysterious guy said. "So...tell me... where is the real Laura? Where can I find her?"
Rebecca bit her lip. She can't reveal Laura's location. They will surely find her. "I won't tell you anything!" she said adamantly, shaking her head.
The fake king smiled wryly. "What if I tell you... that I can save your life if you bring me to where the real Laura was located. Can you do that?"
Rebecca's eyes gleamed. No way... she can trust this mysterious guy's words promising her safety as long she will tell him where Laura is. For all, she knows he's one of the people who capture her trying to trick her. She looked him in the eyes, she will try to trick him first. "Take this golden necklace away from my neck first then let's talk!" she demanded.
The guy erupted into a guffaw. "My dear...you are trying to trick me! Your silly tricks won't work on me!" he said not buying her demand.
Rebecca feels frustrated that she can't convince the guy to grant her request. She's desperate to gain her power back so that she can get out of this prison room!
The guy stood up. "Listen... you have no right to negotiate with me! If I were you... you should tell me Laura's location first and I will get you out of here. If you value your life - you better cooperate with me!" he said in a firm voice.
"Take me out of this room and bring me outside! Then take this necklace away from my neck. I will bring you to Laura's location," Rebecca said.
The guy was smiling in amusement. "You're such a stupid woman! I said you have no right to negotiate with me because you are a prisoner here and you are an impostor! You can only obey me and work with me or else you will meet your doom pretty soon!" he said in an irate voice.
Rebecca pressed her mouth. It seemed this guy cannot be trick easily. She can't deceive him at all! All she needs is that one moment in time when the necklace is taken out from her neck even just for a few seconds, then she can regain her power back!
The guy looked at her. "Why are you silent? Not convinced yet?" he asked.
Rebecca met his gaze. "When is the ceremony going to take place?" she asked. She needs to be mentally prepared for that time. Maybe during that time, she can find an opportunity to escape without needing this guy's help! If she will reveal to this guy about Laura's location, Graven will feel heartbroken if these vampires will get their hands on his beloved woman. No! She can't allow that to happen!
"The ceremony is happening soon before you know it, but I won't tell you the exact date unless you will tell me Laura's location first!" he demanded.
Rebecca stood her ground.
A few minutes later, they heard noises outside and the opening of the door...
The mysterious guy instantly vanished from the room before the door was finally opened.
