I can't fucking believe he threw me out.
"Athena open the door!" My dad knocked hard enough that it almost broke open.
"Why.. after everything i've given to him, he still fucking chose that bitch!" I heavily grieved as i tossed and destroyed everything in sight.
The moment that 'Christal' was brought by Charles- he never once looked at me ever again, his eyes glued to the girl in his arms. All the years i've spent with him was all gone to dust. He kicked me out from his residence and tried to wipe my memory- but thankfully i escaped from the man who was assigned to erase my memory that night. I had no where else to go that's why i decided to come back home. But to my surprise, their memories has been also erased accordingly by Charles, they don't remember Christal crashing here and anything that happened after that.
It was no use asking them.
"Lil Sis! Open the door, i'll knock this door down!" Mark exclaimed angrily.
I stood up and passed by a mirror, thats how i noticed my appearance, completely different from back then. My skin was pale white and my eyes bloody red, reminding me who i am right now. There was just no way they could've missed such obvious attributes.
I spun the doorknob and opened it gently, seeing my two brothers and dad looking all worried towards me, i bowed down to prevent them from seeing my eyes.
"Where were you?!" Mark shouts at me. "Do you know how worried-" he suddenly stops, he cups my cheeks and forces me to face him.
I hissed at him. "Fuck off!"
"What the fuck happened to you?"
I smirked. "You mean my eyes?"
He stared at me in shock as he step backwards. I could feel the tension in the air and the mere fact that my own brother was carefully reaching out his wooden dagger on his knee. I felt hurt, but felt no need to express it towards him.
"Do you love me brother?" I ask.
Mark held his dagger tightly. "Who are you?"
"Isn't it ironic? Your own blood became the species that you hunt down." I said with glistening eyes, i placed my hand on my right eye and smirked. "I'm a vampire. Are you going to kill me? Your own sister?"
I threatened him but no one could've noticed that i was almost begging him to spare my life as his sister. I couldn't say it to him directly, but the shame that i did to myself was swallowing me into pit darkness. Mark shook his head as he ran down, probably he was going to call Dad and Luke.
"Then let me do it for you." A deep voice said behind me, i quickly turn my head to its directions.
My eyes widened. "Who are you?"
He was sitting at the edge of the window, facing me with glaring eyes. I took a step back from his dark aura forcefully pushing me back. His presence alone was screaming 'don't you dare mess with me.'
"A source told me.. my mate should be here?" He placed his feet down and approached me silently. While there was no way i could've moved from fear, this was the second time i felt so intimidated- the first one was my first meeting with Charles.
He held my neck, to my surprise he quickly shoves me upwards, i shrieked in pain as i held his arms that was restraining me mid air. "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!"
He lets go of me, and i cough miserably as i try to regain oxygen. My body shook from fear and i tried my best to avoid his eyes, i was scared that i would be killed by this guy. Even though i'm a vampire, a strong presence like this could easily be identified as a leader of a species.
Then at that moment, i let my stupidity get the best of me.
"May i know.. who is this mate of yours?"
"The source told me it was suppose to be you." He said, i raised my head and saw his godly figure and even his face that was sculpted so perfectly. He's Hot. But wait what? Did he just say i'm his mate?
"I'm your mate?" I smirked. The mere thought of having a partner this powerful could help me defeat that bitch.
He growled. "A filthy vampire like you could never be my mate." His fangs showing. "WHERE IS SHE?!"
"W-What?? Do you mean my doppelgänger?" I bowed my head to avoid his eyes once again, my fear consuming me.
"That's right, where is she?" He said finally calming down.
That bitch again, just how lucky she is?! Fuck! I need to use this guy- that's right. She's with Charles right now. Angering this guy could help me win this situation. He'll probably hate that bitch for cheating on him, i laughed to myself.
I smirked looking at him. "What do i get for telling you?"
He glared at me. "You don't get to negotiate with me, i'll snap your neck in a second."
I gulped. Why is my brother taking so long? They should've be here by now. What the heck did Mark do?
"I honestly don't know where she is." I said honestly.
"If you're lying to me, i'll kill your whole family."
"I'm not lying! She's with Charles-"
In a split second, he slammed me to the wall behind me, making me spit some blood from the impact. I whimpered in pain when i felt a broken rib on my left.
"WHO?!"
Suddenly i was saved by the bell when a strange looking woman appears behind him. "AlphaKing, the elders have been captured. What do you want to do with them?"
He lets go of me. "Syrena, you told me she's here. She's not!"
"Well the girl infront of you could probably explain those details." She laughs.
I looked at him. "I just know he's with Charles, you know him for sure. He's a pureblood."
He looked pissed. His eyes darkening as his jaw clenched hard, i took a step back. "Unfortunately, i do not know where they are."
It's true. When i first got there, Charles never told me how i got there and why i was there- like i was just hypnotised to follow him but left with no memories of it. I was not even allowed to leave that place, when i started wondering why is there such a thick fog around the household. He never told me anything about it.
"As expected, Pureblood clans are hard to find since they have always lived in secrecy. Neverthless it could still be found." The witch wonders.
"Can you?" I ask.
"Of course, it may be hard to find since a pureblood owns it. But it's not impossible to find seeing that i, myself can detect spells or rather incantations easily. A vampire's domain usually are hidden by using isolation barriers, where the place would look invisible from the outside, but once you step into that land, you'll see everything with your own eyes. See? It's not such a big problem."
"You talk too much, do you even know where that might be?" The alpha asks.
"W-Well alphaking, our only problem at hand is to know where in the forest that barrier might be?"
"I know where."
That's right i remember something, it was when charles took me outside and i was half-conscious when he carried me away, i definitely remember where that forest is, i thought.
"Don't make me kill you." He glared at me.
I smirked. The AlphaKing was very much inlove with his mate, but let's see what happens when he sees her by his side.
"Let's go, you don't want to make them waiting right?"
~•~
The place was surrounded with full grown pine trees as usual, anyone could notice the heavy fog that was worsening as we go deeper into the forest, the witch and the AlphaKing behind me, i walk towards the forest where charles dropped me the last time. I felt nervous knowing a sudden encounter might happen, as charles can easily detect someone infiltrating his territory.
And it's not too soon.
"Wait, i sense someone." Alphaking growls.
My eyes widened when a familiar face shows up suddenly from the heavy fog that was surrounding us. I took a step back, fearing the worst as he glared at me with venom. I stood side by side with the AlphaKing, almost wanted to hide behind him.
"You're not allowed to come deeper into the forest strangers." Charles calmly says in a dark voice.
"You Charles?"
"If i am?"
"Then you're dead." The AlphaKing's eyes darkens.
Charles laugh, glancing towards the three of us. His eyes fixating on me, i look downwards from guilt. But suddenly remembering that he wanted me dead, was killing my last ounce of love on him.
"You're still alive clone?"
Clone?
