SAVE ME

Later that day in the vampire realm, Faren paced to and fro in his chambers.

Just why? Why had those flyers come out ruining his entire plan?

Now father won’t allow him marry Alexa again and there was no way he could get Damien to his knees now.

He balled his fist as he angrily punched at the mirror.

“Be careful, little brother. You don’t want to die before father, do you? If you do, we both know he won’t bury you”Marisol said entering his chambers and walking towards him.

“Why are you still here? Go back to your matrimonial home or something”Faren snarled through gritted teeths as he turned around to face Marisol”or can’t you?”

The smile in Marisol’s face completely faded.”What?”

“That day Greg came over as you walked him out, I was there. I heard everything” Faren scoffed”How would father react when he hears this news?”

Marisol grabbed Faren by his collar”Don’t even think about it”

“Why?” Faren smirked “Ah, I get it. You don’t want to be looked down upon like me, is that right? ”

Faren pushed Marisol away from him”Well you have to get used to it. Let father know he has two useless children”

Marisol couldn’t stop shaking. The thought of her Father’s hatred upon her scared her to bits but she wasn’t going to show it to Faren.”You forget that I’m Father’s favourite. No matter what you do, he will always love me.”

Faren laughed “If you are so confident about that, why didn’t you tell him since about you and Greg? Or should I help you, darling sister?”

Marisol clenched her fist so hard that she began to bleed”What do you want?”

Faren picked up a bandage as he wrapped up his bleeding hands. “Stop showing yourself to me every second. In other words, go back to where you came from ”

Marisol chuckled”Are you insane? This is my house!”

“No. This isn’t your house anymore, Marisol  so get lost”

Alexa checked twice  to see if the coast was clear before sneaking into the realm.

She thought she’d arrived safely but yelped as she saw Hermenes standing Infront of her room door.

“Where are you coming from this early morning?” Hermenes asked coldly.

“Uh- I told you I was going to see Warren last night, didn’t I?” Alexa slightly stuttered.

She hated lying to her brother but she knew he would be angry if he found out that she went to see Damien.

“So I guess Warren gave you those” Hermenes said pointing to the hickey on her neck.

Startled, Alexa hurriedly covered it up”H-hermen-”

“Just for a couple of days, Alexa. I asked you to stay away from him until the situation dies down a bit and you couldn’t do that”Hermenes said angrily “Do whatever you want”

Alexa held Hermenes hands”I was hurt and I knew he would be worried that’s why I went to see him” she tightened her hands on his “But I promise you, I’ll do whatever you say from now on”

Hermenes raised his brows”Do you mean that?”

She nodded her head”Yes”

“Then.. I’m craving some of your special pancakes. Can you make some for me?”

Alexa smiled “You betcha. Meet me in the kitchen in 15”

Hermenes smiled as he watched Alexa skiddle off.

He went downstairs to the basement and opened the back door.

The back door of the basement led to a graveyard.

The graveyard was where every Angel who’d passed away was buried.

Hermenes took just ten steps from the entrance as he came to face his parents grave.

He started at the picture of his smiling parents; Anadetta Higgins and Clark Higgins.

Their parents had passed away when Hermenes was just 5 years old and Alexa was just born.

It was during the war between the Angels, the werewolves and the demons.

It was a bloody war were hundreds of lives were lost.

Hermenes had found his dying mother on the floor where she’d handed his baby sister to him and she muttered her last words; protect Alexa at all means, Hermenes.

“Mother, Father were you surprised about yesterday? When some people threw stones on your daughter?”

“You don’t need to worry anymore. It was just a misunderstanding. I promise you, I will take care of Alexa.”

Hermenes felt a tiny hands on his shoulders as he turned around to see Alexa “You’ve done a good job so far”

“Lexy..”Hermenes said in whispers with his eyes welling up in tears.

Alexa eyes weren’t any different too. She had tears rolling down her cheeks “I couldn’t ask for a better brother, Hermenes”

Hermenes embraced Alexa ever so tightly as they both cried in eachother’s arms.

“Don’t leave me all by myself again, Hermenes. Promise me”

“I promise”

“HERMENES!” A voice shouted from upstairs breaking their hug apart.

“That sounds like Nana” Alexa said wiping her tears.

“Let’s go and see what she wants” Hermenes said rushing out of the basement and going inside.

On reaching in, he saw Nana” Nana, what’s the-”

Nana grabbed his collar as tears streamed down her cheeks”How could you do this, Hermenes!?. I begged you to stay out of trouble!”

“W-What are you talking about?” Hermenes stuttered.

Some officers came out towards Hermenes”Are you Mr. Hermenes Higgins?”NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

“Yes and?”

The first officer signaled to the other three”Take him away”

“Where are you taking him!?” Alexa’s standing Infront of Hermenes.

The first officer showed her a letter”We’ve been asked to ban him by lady Gezelle so please step aside”

Alexa felt her heart drop to her stomach. It was Gezelle’s doing again.

She quickly rushed out and headed for the demon’s realm.

Meanwhile outside the demon realm, Damien walked towards Gezelle “What she just said, is it true? Where you the one who had those flyers created!?”

“So what If I was, huh!? Have you ever stopped to think about how I feel Damien!?”

“Every day I keep watching my husband lurk around some other woman, of course I was forced to take drastic measures!”

“STOP CALLING ME YOUR HUSBAND!” Damien shouted as he pointed his finger at Gezelle “I’m still going easy on you for old times sake but if you dare do anything to hurt Alexa ever again”

“I swear by the goddess, I will kill you”

Damien turned back to face Laura ” I will grant you your favor”

He then walked into the realm angrily.

Gezelle walked over to Laura ” How could you betray me!?”

Laura stood up from the ground” You are the one who uttered lies about my father first.”

Gezelle, burning in rage went  up to her chambers.

Her day was just hell. She just hoped the officers had arrived in the Angel’s realm just in time and had taken care of that good-for- nothing Alexa’s brother.

If they did, she would be expecting her in 5… 4.. 3… 2..

“You can’t just walk in here” Amelia called after Alexa who rushed into Gezelle’s chambers.

“I’m sorry, my lady” Amelia said bowing at Gezelle.

Gezelle raised up her hand signalling “It’s okay, leave us”

Amelia bowed her head as she left them.

When they were all alone, Alexa three herself down at Gezelle’ feet.

“I beg you, my lady. Please call back your order on my brother”Alexa pleaded in tears.

Gezelle stood up from her throne. Now things were slowly going her way “Under one condition. Do you think you can do it?”

“Anything, my lady”

“Fine. Let go off Damien”

Alexa looked up at Gezelle in shock”What?”

“Damien is a love sick puppy right now and puppies always listen to their masters” Gezelle said walking around Alexa “And you are Damien’s master”

Gezelle sighed as she went back to sit on her throne”Damien won’t give you up unless you do so first”

Alexa clenched her fist “So what are you saying?”

Gezelle chuckled. “You really can’t decipher?”

“What I’m saying is that if you want to save your brother, end things with Damien”
