Solaris Empire

The Culprit (Pt. 1)

Walking along the hallway Julianne's thought was still in peril, she knew there was no way out when it came to matters concerning the Crown Prince, all rumors about him were negative, Julianne smiled at her ignorance 'How do I get out of this mess? Julianne mumbled, He had taken an arrow meant for her and even went after the assassin without treatment, Julianne knew it was game over, there was no way out but still she hoped for one.

"Julianne are you okay" a deep voice came from behind.

Julianne turned to see who it was, a tall dark haired man stood there Laning against the wall on one leg and only him knew how long he had been there.

"Master Edward, you are here, when did you arrive?" Julianne was quick to pretend nothing had happened

"Not up to an hour ago, how have you been Julianne? Edward answered now standing on both leg.

"I have been well and you"

"Never been better than now, I heard there was an attack in the woods, hope you where not injured" Edward asked with voice laced with care.

"Am fine, I was going to see if my grandmother has arrived please excuse me" bowing her head she walked away.

Edward bowed back without a word, he watched her disappear into the conner, Julianne's heart betrayed her and Edward knew something was definitely wrong but seeing her putting up a brave front, he decided not to pressure her. Looking at the direction she went one last time he disappeared into tin air.

Deep in the wood where it was cold and foggy a man sat on a tree branch, he blew out hot smoke and had a cigar in his hand, his midnight dark hair waving to the way of the wind, another man lay on the cold muddy ground looking blooded and lifeless but was still breathing. It was past midnight and the young man sitting on the tree branch had no intentions of leaving his position, few minutes later another arrived and started inspecting him.

"You know you could have crushed him with just a snap of your finger"

"I wanted to feel human, I needed him alive" the man on the tree answered.

"You are so cruel Rome"

"What are you doing here Levi"

The man named Levi smiled exposing his white and sharp fangs, his white hair sparkling under the moonlight.

"I had work here in Valeria the Rebels are at it again, your grandfather ordered them to be taken out. I was at the palace earlier to see you and was told you were in Valeria can't I say hi to my old friend" Levi said jumping up to sit beside him on the tree branch.

Roman looked at Levi a look that said 'wolf in sheep clothing'. "Don't use my name when you went to see Gemma"

Levi smiled and in a blink of an eye he disappeared knowing what was going to happen next, the look in Roman's eyes was also blood tasty and if care was not taken there would a fight between the two friends as a reminder for Levi not to go any closer to Gemma, Roman's sister.

"Levi Arterton, you are so f****d up" Roman cursed. He had known Levi since childhood to know where his feelings lies but he wouldn't let him have Gemma that easily.

Roman jumped down from the tree and towards the all bloodied man who had start to move his body a little as he had regained consciousness, holding him by the collar he gave him a hard punch for him to go unconscious again.

"Bastard" he cursed once again before he carried the man on his shoulder and ran out of the forest at an inhuman speed.
