Argo smiled at her sudden reaction and said to her;
"No need to pent up anger inside you, you can let it all out" she lets out of her nostril a shaky breath and said;
"I have nothing to talk to you about, now tell me, what do you want?" Argo's smile turned upside down he could feel her pain and her agony. He felt really sorry and wished there was something he could have done. Still looking at her he said;
"I am sorry okay! There was nothing I could do when you told me about your dreams and about this whole thing, I am greatly sorry cause if I had said a thing I would have gotten into big trouble that would have caused me my life…" he paused for a little and continued;
"Why do you think Mr. Bart Dion hasn't returned to Texas till date?" her eyes opened widely and she asked anxiously with fear;
"Wh- what happened to him?" he smiled lightly and said to her;
"He is okay alright! But he knows too much about us and he is too smart, we fear the possibilities of him remembering everything even after wiping his memory" the little color on Lilith's face drained away because of her fear. She was now looking extra pale. Her heart was beating fast with fear, she mustered all the courage she could find and asked him;
"Tell me what brings you here?" she had only a towel tight around her chest and the length was slightly above her knee. Although Argo's mission was to just deliver a message and leave, it was hard not to look at her sexy delicate body. Still, he tried not to look as he was aware that there was someone hovering above him and looking at all he was doing, he wasn't certain but he could feel that frightening aura that comes from his sire. He cleared his throat and said;
"You have been invited to the ball party by the lord himself." She was confused, so she asked again;
"I am sorry who?" he smiled and said;
"The lord Vlad Ales Draco!" looking at her confused face he said to her simply;
"The man who saved your life from those goons" the place remained quiet for a while, before he handed her the invitation card and ran off.

The weather was cloudy and windy; it was a boring day to Karan. He sighed as he glances over the view of Hems-Ville in the plane. He crossed his legs and looked around him lazily not paying attention to the details.
"What a drag?" he said under his voice and tightened his seatbelt as the plane landed. He arrived at Hems-Ville airport 6:00am in the morning. After he was done getting all his luggage's from the airport, he got a cab and gave the driver Lilith's address.
As the driver drove with him through the beautiful roads of Hems-Ville, Karan couldn't help admiring, the tall palm trees, the peacocks and the colorful birds flying around. And one thing he was taken by the most was the beautiful Ballet dance done by little girls and teenage girls, there were also little boys by the side playing the drums on the streets. Karan thought that everything his eyes was seeing was dreamy. From their moves he could tell that they were performing the nutcracker.
He was inspired by the beauty of the whole environ, and the organization of the dancers and drummers that was done all on the streets that he didn't even know when they arrived.
“Sir we have arrived.” Karan exchanged smiles with the driver and got off the car.
“Thank you mister! This is such a beautiful place. I was taken by its beauty I didn’t even realize we had arrived.”
The driver parked in front of the story building. Karan got off the car and looked around the surrounding's and the story buildings, everything was amazing, it was all full of nature, and cute animals. He walked lazily to Lilith's floor and rang the bell, but nobody answered, he continued for a while before Lilith finally came out and open the door for him.
Karan opened his mouth wide at her sight, her eyes were puffy from crying and her skin was still looking pale. He hurriedly drew her into a hug, she cried out loud and said;
"Karan I am done for here! I shouldn't have come here in the first place!"
Four witches were in shackles, wailing and gnashing their teeth in pain as one man with an evil grin tortured them relentlessly. Their screams and bellows reverberated in the spacious room. One of them couldn’t take the pain of the torture anymore and decided to start talking;
“My Lord Lucian please let us go I will tell you everything I know!” Lucian smirked and answered him nonchalantly;
“Hmm tell me what? I didn’t ask you for any information did I? I was just enjoying myself hearing you all screech in pain.” He swings the hot metal he was using to poke their body with in the air as he walked to seat on stool.
“What do you want then? Please tell us! we will do anything” Lucian raised an eye brow and looked at them closely with a puzzled gaze. He then asked them cunningly;
“Are you trying to bargain with the devil? … I thought he did all the bargaining and not the other way round” he shot them a mischievous smile and they were all speechless and in pain.
In the silence of the empty room a clopping sound of heels was heard and then it was following by a honeyed voice;
“The lots of you should know not to make deals with the devil, didn’t your parents teach you well?” the voice cackle and the person talking came into the light before them.
“So brother! what is all this about?
“The mingy maggots dared to put their filthy hands on my play thingy” Kathy turned to look at him seriously and she rolled her eyes. She dragged him away from the torture room outside the building and asked;
“When will you grow up? … you are still calling Lilith your play thingy… come on! You can do better than that! Have you seen how stupid you act in front of her? It’s so obvious that you are crazy for her.” Kathy spoke angrily at him.
“No I am not!” he tried to say it affirmatively but his eyes still gave him away. Kathy shook her head sideways and said;
“No! I can’t deal with you right now” she walked away from there and went back into the torture room. Looking at the witches she asked them straight up without hesitating;
“Tell me, what is it this time around? Why did you capture the poor girl?” Bart didn’t waste time he answered her without thinking twice;
“The chosen bride of your demon brother is said to begot a son who shall rain hell on this land once he comes into existence. He shall be called the black dragon, or some may call him Drake Draco reincarnated the beast of all beast. The king of the damned …” she pinched her temples and said;
“Shut up I have heard enough!” the place was silent as she browsed through her memory, ‘I knew there was something about that girl, I just didn’t know what it was… I mean I had a vision about her but my visions aren’t always clear… do I trust what this witches are saying?’ she glanced at them and concluded in her mind, ‘they certainly do not have the guts to lie to my face but in any case I will consult gramps’ she clicked her fingers and the shackles loosened falling to the floor. Walking out of the torture room the witches followed behind her with scars all over their body, they were limping and crying softly in pain. Lucian was seated on a long tree when he saw them following after Kathy like little unsure chicks following a hen. He cackled from the top of the tree and they quivered with fear.
“What is going on here? I never said that I was done with the mingy maggots why did you free them?” he jumped from the top of the tree down and flew swiftly without letting his feet touch the ground and gripped one of the witches by the neck. The witch choked with his tight hands around her neck. Kathy looked up at him floating in the air and asked him;
“What do you want to do with them?” he smirked and asked her
“Is that even a question…” the place was silent before he answered her;
“Cut their flesh while they are alive into little pieces and make barbecue with it while they watch me!” the place was unusually quiet, questionable eyes were glaring and he nonchalantly cackled.
“Go ahead!” Kathy permitted him unfazed. All eyes turned to look at Kathy, realizing the piercing eyes on her she said;
“Well unless you are planning to kill Lilith, only then will you go through with that… may I remind you magic made you who you are and magic can turn you into nothing but a nobody… well in any case the witches already know what makes you tick” she clicked her fingers and walked away. Lucian flew down with the witch in his grip and released her. Looking at each of them he said;
“If even a single hair comes off from Lilith’s head” he focused his eyes on each them and said to them unfazed;
“It wouldn’t only be my so called son that you will have to be frightened of, but I promise you all that I will annihilate your kind from the surface of the earth.” The seriousness in his tone of voice and the fury in his eyes frightened them all. He cackled once again and ran off like the flash of lightening. Seeing that he had left they all ran away from there without looking back.
