"My lord, tomorrow is the most awaited night festival you need to announce the leaders of groups". Queen to king

"The night most awaited by my son, (chuckles) but where is he right now? "King

"Here I come, Dad." prince entered the main hall with blood around his lips.

"Look at you, how long will you take to learn cleaning up? Minister call the girls to clean him up". (a bit angry) Queen 

(Some vampire girls entered the room they licked the blood and the cleaned his face ) "Shall we start now?" Demon with an evil smile as he raised his eye brows.

An announcement was made by the king that was spread all around the kingdom,"Tomorrow is the most awaited night, with increase in our powers our traditional game shall be played, 3 groups shall be made and the one that wins will gain the pleasure of the especial night, flesh, blood, and each shall be honored with a human pet of their own, those who are interested shall submit their names and gather at palace so their groups shall be decided before the night falls."

(the night festival is the 14rth of the moon , a winter night that gives energy to vampires they feel stronger  and their powers grow whereas the night scares the human as large communities die and go missing)

"child, I'm sorry , I never wanted to hurt you" , Aunt Susan

"Its okay, I know you said it all in love , I can understand". Ariana smiled

Susan smiled and held Ariana's hand " why do you like going into the forest ?"

"Aunty..... do you remember, when I was young I used to go to the forest with mama I recall those memories whenever I'm in the forest  i enjoy the sounds of birds and insects while there is a sweet aurora of trees and bushes they actually carry the smell of mama, I love touching the woods , I can't see them but I can feel them. " Said Ariana

(Susan's eyes turned red , her vision blurred she was sitting in front of a girl she loved the most but wasn't able to see... she felt as if she was caging her by not allowing her to leave the house at all)

Next day :

(Aunt Susan getting ready for work) "Ariana dear, It might take long and I'll be late at night make sure you close all the windows and doors, curtains should be down........"

(Ariana cuts through) "and stay home, no light, no smoke from chimney, make sure the cottage seems abandoned Aunty I do know all of it." (Trying to comfort)

"Yeah, I know honey but I am worried I just can't imagine the number of lives that may become their prey today." Susan

"Aunt if you get too late stay there, don't leave for home at night." Ariana

"But I cant leave you alone." Susan

"I'll be fine .... They won't need a skinny, blind girl like me ." Ariana

"But I just can't honey what if......" Susan

Ariana breaks through "Nothing will happen, don't endanger your life ,you know how much you mean to me, I have no one but you , your life is very precious for me, so please." Ariana

"Okay , I'll try to be home early." Susan

"Sure good bye Aunty love you". (Ariana locks the door as her Aunt left the house. )
