"You have no idea! I am certainly sure you will encounter a lot of them here!" unaware of his sarcasm she answered him saying;
"You are right and I will definitely put them all in their place" she picked a stone and shooed the proud bird away from her presence. Argo laughed at her actions. She was bashful at his reaction and quickly walked away from there smiling.
In the late evening, the whole city was packed with tourist, dancers, music, cultural display and arts. The whole vicinity was lit up with light, it was like a magical place in a fairy tale novel. Lilith wore a black fitted short gown made with cotton and she wore a leather jacket over it. She was wearing her simple flat boots with her hair packed in a ponytail. Her amber eyes gleamed in the light coming from the trees.
She was excited as she walked the streets. Her mouth was agape each time she passed something interesting. She saw a group of kids with beautiful pale skin, and they were extremely very beautiful, like they were from an outer world. They were playing and when the kids noticed her stare on them. They ran and made a circle round her singing;
"There's a princess in the garden,' a princess in the garden" a cute girl sang this line twice, then another girl took off from there singing;
"Can I come and see her?" she asked in a song form and the rest answered her excitedly saying;
"No! no! no! if you have a prince then you can come and see her" Lilith smiled at their endearing ways and asked them while pinching her chin;
"Now tell me little ones! Who will come and save me now that I don't have a prince" she c****d her head upwards in anticipation for their reply.
All the children held their little chin thinking about who the prince might be, when a small boy around the age of ten years came out of nowhere and said;
"I will be your prince" Lilith blushed out of too much joy, she squats down and gave the kid a hug and said;
"Thank you my little prince! What's your name"? he smiled and said;
"Call me Helio Vlad Draco!" Lilith smiled. The boy's confidence was unbelievable for his age. He showed no timidity, he was upright and looked straight into Lilith's eyes while talking to her. He didn't behave like a kid but like an adult. At that point Lilith suddenly had the urge to hug him. something about his mannerism made her feel lonely inside. She hugged him and he hugged her back. The boy smiled at her and said;
"My princess seems to be a brave one!" the little boy said with a slight smile on his face. All the other kids clapped their hands together as he held her hands and walked her out of there;
"I can see you are not from around here, let me be your chaperone today!" he said to her confidently once again.
"How would you know that I am not from around here?" Lilith asked curiously.
"Because you smell different!" Lilith quickly sniffed herself, noticing her reaction he said;
"Just kidding! I meant you exude a rare kindness; I rarely see around here." she looked at him amusingly and said to him, unaware of what the little boy meant!
"How do people around here behave? Tell me and how would you know if I am good or not!" he smiled at her mischievously and answered her
"Well senorita the eyes don't lie" he raised his browse a couple of times to her cutely and she was just speechless. Although in her gut feelings, she felt something was odd about the little boy.
Lucian sat on a stool in front of his Piano in a massive exquisite hall, filled with influential people. There were so many beautiful chandelier hanging from the ceiling that was perfectly designed with blue beautiful clouds cherubim and seraphim angels. The sapphire moonlight was peering through the glassy customized glass walls. The place was looking very dreamy.
The atmosphere was filled with the scent of perfume from all the guest there. Lucian looked around for a while, he exhaled then he pressed a key on his piano and a smile formed on his face as he did. He felt a sudden relieve from all his built up dilemma. The place became silent and then he started singing a song titled lighthouse by west-life;
"This kind of love
Is more than a lifeline
For a man as weak as me
Who has no
Self believe….
Lilith and Helio entered the hall at her insistence. Helio was pouting as they entered the hall and Lilith thought he looked cute acting like a child as it was the first time since she met him that day that he was acting like a child. She smiled sweetly at him and patted his head saying;
"Oh dear, I am sorry but the song got to my heart" she squatted down and gave him a kiss on the cheeks. He blushed at her and said;
"Lady don't be carried away by such amateur songs I can sing better ones!" boasted proudly and Lilith replied him with a smirk saying;
"My Prince! I am sure you can." he smiled back at her and then holding her hands he dragged her further into the crowd and in fact closer to the man singing. They stood in front watching closely with amazement as the man sang. Lilith was moving her head to the sound of the music.
This kind of love
Is more than amazing
For a man who
Lost his way
Who thought it was too late
How did the sea
How did the sea
How did the sea get so rough?
I would've drowned
I would've drowned
If you hadn't given me your love….
The song continued, and a lot of people were cheering for the artist singing. Some of the tourist were completely taken by his voice, they fainted to the floor by his elegance, grace, charm and stamina. Still the man singing was unfazed by all that was happening around him, all that he was concerned about was the song he was singing. He was completely immersed in it to be bothered by people there. When he finished singing the ladies from the crowd rushed to get to him but they were stopped by his men. He walked away from the stage and came down without being bothered about how the girls around might react. When he noticed them coming his way he raised his hands and commanded;
"It has been an amazing night and I am happy you all love my song but I think it's time for you all to go" his voice carried mind control in it, and the signals coming from his voice were able to somehow control their bodies making them, the tourist to turn around and take their leaves.
Helios notice that his uncle Lucian was coming their way and surprisingly the voice of his uncle had no effect on the lady, so he held her hands again and dragged her away from there saying;
"Trust me! you wouldn't want to waste your time here, there are so many other festivals going on in the streets that you will regret it, if you don't follow me to see them on display. You will love more than this… trust me and besides he wouldn't sing again pffft" he laughed as they walked away from there. Lilith happily followed the young boy into the streets.
**** **** ****
Help! Help!" a masculine voice roared in the tower of Saint Peter's catholic church. But no matter, how loud he screamed no one could hear him from outside. When he got tired of his outcry he slumped to the floor and looked up at his abductor with a deathly stare as if to say 'if I get out of here you're doomed'. The person smiled mockingly at him and jeered;
"You should know better that you can never do me any harm, no matter how hard you try!" The abductor gave him a harsh derisive laughter and instructed a witch standing there helplessly;
"Bloom more poisonous roses around! And burn more buckthorn I want him weakened to the core" the witch did as he said obediently and he said;
“It's time to visit some family members!" he swiftly moved away from there like a flash of lightening. He went into the streets and exhaled as he walked casually;
"I miss all this, brother! ready or not here I come to make sure you return to the hell you came from!" he walked casually on the streets while he took in the view around him.
He smiled at the sight of girls dancing and wondered how nice it will feel if he could take one home and have a time of his life. He bumped into a slender pretty girl, with pretty amber eyes that glittered in the many lights that shined around her in the night. Her nose was slightly aquiline as it was beautifully pointed, her skin was as fair as the moonlight and she had naturally red lips like strawberry, her lips were small but plump and luscious. She was petite and although she wasn't very endowed around her bosom area, she had a tiny waist and she was voluptuous around her butt and hips.
Lilith stood still looking at the strong handsome athletic man standing before her with a smile on her face like a chump. His sky blue eyes were peering into hers and she couldn't look away. Helio kicked her leg and she yelled
"Ouch! What's your deal Helio?" he smiled and held on tight to her hands like he never did before and said with a hint of fear in his voice;
"Hello uncle when did you return!" the man smiled and roughly played with the little boy's hair.
