Princess of the Underworld

Chapter 6 - The Vision

As Livana was sleeping, she saw a vision. It was back at home, 'strange', she thought to herself as she was pretty sure the last time she had checked, she was in the apartment lying on the lounge.

Livana continued down the dark hallway of her home until she stopped at one of the doors. Weird, she had never seen this door before, maybe all those years she had miscounted the doors in the castle when she was eight years of age, as she had to entertain herself, as her parents are very busy people, but it was to be expected since they are the rulers of the underworld and with their daughter Livana the next heir. Livana slowly lifted her right hand out to reach the doorknob of the door in front of her, ready to open it, when out of nowhere, she heard a voice saying, "I wouldn't do that if I were you."

Livana froze and looked around before communicating back, but no words came out of her mouth. She realised who she was speaking with, someone telepathically: "Who said that?" she asked, waiting for a reply until she heard someone very close by say " you must never open and go through that door, not through your visions or in reality" This voice, Livana knew it, she turned to see who the voice belonged to, As she turned around no one was there, that is until someone walked out from the shadows of the dark hallway with a harden smile, Livana took a good look at the person walking towards her it was her father, forgot to mention that some vampires can communicate with one another in visions also to pass on important messages, warnings or even create a distraction plan and ambush other vampires and no one would know.

"Remember what I told you too, Livana at your birthday fiesta" Livana looked down and took a deep breath before then looking back up to say "I know, If it gets too dangerous, come straight home"

Livana was then silenced by her father's cold stare when he spoke in a dark, twisted tone that all vampires would shudder and cower in fear "then. why. didn't you come back? " Livana was confused as she looked up slightly at her father with her head still bowed, hands clenched into fists while holding her dress before saying " I..I'm not sure what you mean by-" Zadimus had cut in before she could finish her sentence with a punch to the wall so hard that if it were a human their hand would be broken. Still, in this case instead the wall had a massive crack in it as Zadimus yelled " DON'T YOU f*****g DARE PLAY THE I DON'T KNOW TALK WITH ME YOUNG LADY!"

Livana stared at her father, Zadimus, in horror. Her eyes widened in shock as she stood there in silence. Then, she looked into her father's eyes, which had become a cold, pitch black, like coal, with red highlights forming just on the outside of them. Livana knew where she got her anger warnings from when her eyes turned the same colour as his.

Livana quickly snapped out of her shock and cleared her throat before saying in a calm yet shaky voice, "Dad, I was capable of handling that situation on my own." Livana looked down at the tiled floor, and it was then silent throughout the whole palace. It was too quiet, so quiet that it was unbearable. Until she heard her father sigh. Before Livana could look up, Zadimus lifted his arm from his side, placing his hand at the back of Livana's head, and pulled her into a tight hug. He said in a calm yet scared voice, "I know, Livy. It's just, I don't want anything happening to you."

Livana cut him off by hugging him back and said, "I know, but don't worry. All the training you have taught me throughout the years has paid off. Also, " Livana removed herself from the hug, pushing her father back and looking up at him with an annoyed look on her face, saying, "What have I told you about calling me Livy, dad?" This time, the uno reverse card was placed onto him.

Zadimus then looked down, trying not to look at the annoyed expression on Livana's face as it reminded him of her mother when they have a serious talk about something. "Ah, did I say Livy? I meant to say Livana," he said with an awkward smile. Livana gave him a smirk before bursting out laughing at the expression on his face and his struggle to find the right words. Zadimus just smiled and gave his daughter a hug, saying, "You are very much a mixture of us both. You are kind, but also very formidable and intimidating at the same time." Livana smiled and raised my fingers as if to count, saying, "Yeah, only when others either piss me off, get on my nerves, or mess with either myself or the ones I hold dear to me."

After waking up from the connecting dream, Livana found Ellerosé staring at her from a very close distance. Livana was startled and pushed her back, exclaiming, "GAH!, Ellirosé, why are you that close to me? You gave me a scare." Ellerosé looked apologetic, smiled, and then rested her chin on her hands, asking, "So, what was that all about, hmm?" Livana replied, "Oh, nothing. It was just my dad wanting to talk, you know, the usual stuff." Ellerosé nodded, sat in the seat next to Livana, and then said, "Right, well, I'm going to head to the bathroom to shower. Yell out if anything out of the ordinary happens." Livana responded with, "Eh, ok." and then picked up the remote and started flicking through the channels on the TV, while Ellerosé closed the bathroom door.

Once Livana found a decent channel to watch, she placed the remote on the table before getting comfortable on the lounge. As Ellerosé sang in the shower, Livana had an idea and used one of her powers to make Ellerosé feel like she was performing on the biggest stage. Livana smiled to herself until she heard Ellerosé shout "LIVANAAAAAAAAA." Livana giggled as she heard Ellerosé stumbling out of the shower. After getting dressed, she swung the door open and glared at Livana, saying, "DON'T EVER DO THAT AGAIN," in a whiny voice.

Livana could not help but smile at her before saying, "Ok, ok, I'm sorry... but come on, you should go on one of those talent shows or something. Ooo, I know, let's find a karaoke place." Livana looked at Ellerosé, showing the biggest smile on my face. "No," Ellerosé said with an annoyed look on her face. "Pleeeeaaaase," Livana started to say. "No," Ellerosé kept saying. Before she knew it, Livana transformed into her bat form and gave the cutest pout look indicating that she was not giving up. Ellerosé looked and tried to ignore the cuteness of the sad bat look before giving in. "Oooo fine! Ok, we will go, are you happy?" she folded her arms and pouted.

Livana embraced her, ready to speak, but Ellerosé interrupted, saying, "But if I sing, you have to sing too." Livana stepped back from the hug and hesitated before replying, "Fine... I guess." The two shook hands to seal the deal and then went over to the curtains to peek outside. The sun had already set, and it was now night time.

After that, Livana showered and put on some tight skinny jean leggings, a navy long-sleeved button-up shirt, and black and white Converse. She left her hair down as usual.Ellerosé wore black leather jeans, black heels, a black tank turtleneck top, achoker around her neck, and had her hair down. Once they were ready, they headed out to find a karaoke place to have fun and sing their hearts out.
