His Dark Beauty and Her Cold Beast

ADAPTING - PART 1

[ Arty-san ]

Hi, so I change the titles that I use to refer to myself, between Author and Arty-san so don't be confused, please. Get ready cause we about to get close and personal with each other and our characters

Angelo's sharp eyes narrowed as worry settled in his chest. He quickly regained his composure and then spoke respectfully towards the smaller being

Angelo: .... I-I understand, my lord... I will caution he-

A monotonously calm voice cuts him off as it spoke the words that he had predicted

???Little boy???: There won't be a need if the human dies...

The large room suddenly went a few degrees south as a killing intent snaked its way around the large room and caused the cold blooded creatures to shudder as they involuntarily trembled from fear as the hair at the back of their necks stood on their ends

???Little boy???: I will be sure to end her before the council finds out about her death... And eliminate all witnesses

He walks away, once the human has been carried out of their sites by maids, one noticed the human girl's departure since they were all trying not to collapse onto the floor from the pressure the small creature before them released

With his presence gone, almost everyone sighs as others collapse to the floor. Angelo grunted and ordered everyone to get back to what they were doing. Angelo shouted with irritation and anger clear in his voice

Everyone disappeared as soon as they heard his command not bothering to bow or respond - as they all know what happened to the last servants that responded to him when he was angry. He sighs as he brushes his short hair back with an annoying feeling welling up in his chest

Angelo: That bastard Carlos has gotten quite cocky over the years, he finally realised the power his position holds... Nevermind let's get back to her

He walks away leaving the messy living room, heading in the direction that his sister went. The wolves would not be seen anywhere in site

At the basement

Ming and Charles were brought to an underground basement where the vampires began torturing the two. They realised Charles was immune to pain but Ming wasn't. They also found out that the teens were mated. Which gave them a sick idea, they would t*****e Charles mentally by physically torturing Ming. Killing two wolves with one target

Charles would beg and scream. He even transformed but wouldn't be able to help his mate or stop the vampires from torturing him. After they got bored and the rest felt satisfied, they left after chaining Ming and Charles to a wall, at the back of the cell then left

After thirty agonizing minutes the pain finally eased, that's when Charles regained his senses and crawled to his mate, slowly getting to Ming who is still laying on the floor, unconscious. He slowly and gently turned the body on the ground that was covered in blood. Ming's eyes snap out but he doesn't move or talk seeming to be in a coma. Charles softly calls out his name

Charles: ...Ming?... Are you oka-

Ming: Of course not! Do I look okay to you!?!

Ming groaned and hissed as he sat up painfully with his redhead mate sitting silently behind him. While Ming laughed bitterly as he didn't bother looking at his mate. He then spoke coldly with painful words aiming at the defenceless redhead

Ming: You couldn't even help me when they tortured me... And now you can't even help me sit up? You really are useless like they said you are...

Charles: ......

He turned to look at Charles to only see him sit on his legs with his head down, not showing Ming his facial expression

Ming: Eh? Now your ignoring? Or are you dea-

He lifted Charles's chin making him stop talking because of Charles' tear soaked face. His face had so many tears streaming down his cheeks making it look like a waterfall had pouring out from his eye glands. With a heartbroken expression, he began talking but ended up stuttering

Charles: I-I... *HIC* I di-didn't-... I tr-tried... But they were too ma-many... I begged th-them, *HIC* I even said I would give up my life if they stopped *HIC* but they-

Not able to hear any more Ming pulled Charles into a tight hug as he stroked his hair then his back trying to soothe his big baby. But Charles pushed him away from them and carried on talking while looking at the floor as his tears continued to soak his face. Ming felt a little angry for being rejected but he knew he deserved it after the way he had spoken to Charles earlier. He looked at Charles and listened once he felt his hand being held by Charles's big ones

Charles: *HIC* An-and I-I didn't help you sit up c-cause I didn't wa-want to to-touch any of y-your open wounds... Or-or-

Ming: Hurt me?

Charles looked at Ming with wide eyes as he finished his sentence for him, then nods his head slowly before seeing the latter's soft gaze causing him to burst into uncontrollable sobs. He cried out while apologising countless times as Ming embraced and comforted him. Ming had a frown on his face because of the uncomfortable stab he felt in his heart because of the way his mate spoke or cried

They sat there for a couple of hours before Charles fell asleep from the endless crying and Ming sat watch while he stroked his sleeping mate's hair. He also thought about ways to get all three of them out before the other group could set their plans into motion

Pishka's POV

Woken up by the sound of shuffling nearby, the feeling of dust clogging my nostrils. Soon causing me to sneeze heavily... whole sneezing, the sensation of pain spiked (stabbed) at every nerve in my body. Thus causing me to forcefully stop myself from sneezing any further, to ease the pain

Once I stopped sneezing, I don't dare to move on the bed again. Cause when I sneezed earlier my whole body moved upon reflex and my bones felt like they were grinding against swollen flesh inside. And I couldn't do anything about it

Which in this case were the muscles inside my body. While trying to ease the pain by lying still, I notice the dry and sore feeling in my throat. My hand slowly reaches up to my neck, feeling the bruise

A clothe came in contact with my fingers and judging by how painful it felt from the slight pressure I put on my wrapped-up neck. I couldn't help but whine

°I am sure it swelled up... It hurts a lot... everywhere hurts°

Slowly looking around I see that I'm on a bed. Hearing shuffling happening in the room to my right, I turn my head to see a stranger. A woman with beautiful chocolate brown skin looks up at me, her brown eyes making contact with mine. She stops what she was busy with then silently approaches me

Stopping in front of my bed... wait this isn't my room or my bed. Then I remember yesterday's events, my eyes gloss over as my heart rate tripled in seconds. Still looking at her, I notice her observing me... closely, her brows furrowed

Maid: Where does it hurt, miss?

Listening to her speak was like a nail being hammered into my head, with every word she spoke. I groaned internally but held myself from making a sound

°My poor head!! Ugh! never mind, just be nice to her°

I reply, only for it to come out in a faint dry raspy whisper

Pishka: my... my neck... head... everywhere hurts

°Forget being nice to her... I can barely speak don't even talk about sitting up with my throbbing head°

Maid: Don't force yourself to speak much your voice box was badly injured

Third POV

But thanks to the maid's superhuman hearing, she hears me. She responds by only nodding her head before, disappearing for a millisecond, using her vampire speed. She then reappears in the same spot she was when she left

Holding something, a glass of water is seen in her hands as she smiles at the girl on the bed. Placed the glass on the bed-stand. She turns to look at Pishka for further orders, but only receives a look from the girl... eyes filled with fear

°She's...a vampire!?!!°

After a few seconds of staring at each other, the bed bug tries to sit up. As soon as she lifts her head it falls right back onto the bed like iron attracted to a magnet

The poor girl attempts to get up 4 more times, out of frustration she decides to lay on the bed forgetting about the maid standing next to her

?Maid?: Do you need help, miss?

She nods meekly and speaks in a low raspy voice but the pain stops her from speaking. As she feels her throat tighten up from the pain since she was forcing herself to talk. She took in a deep breath and then spoke one word after pausing for a while

Pishka: Yes...please...

The maid helps the frightened girl get into a sitting position and puts a cushion behind her back to help her sit up straight comfortably. Pishka speaks softly as her throat still hasn't recovered

Pishka: Thanks...

The girl looks at the maid with weary eyes

?Maid?: There's no need for thanks since it's my job to take care of the young miss

The girl just nods. The maid brings her the large glass of water - she had to carry the glass with both hands and she takes it contemplating whether to drink it or not

She looks up and into the maid's eyes still thinking, suddenly she goes into a daze. And before she can even decide on drinking or checking for poison her body had acted on its own, her hand had already brought the glass to her mouth

Within seconds she had gulped down all the water in the glass, when she looked down at the glass she found it full of water again. She looked at the maid mortified, also noticing she was holding a jug of water

She wanted to question the maid but her words clogged her throat when she saw the maid's glowing eyes. That's when she realised this was not her doing

Once again she was forced by her own body to drink the water once again. Three large glasses of water later, she sighs in satisfaction from the plain-tasting water. She stares at the maid silently terrified

The maid ignores her facial expression and just proceeded to take the glass from her hands and return it to the kitchen with the jug. Once back she spoke softly at an even pace

?Maid?: Miss would you like to take a bath or eat first?

Startled Pishka remained silent for a while then spoke lowly

Pishka: ... a ba-bath...
