Something so terrified was chasing me, I couldn't see it but felt its presence, it's more like wind or should I say a wild beast? I just can't figure out what it is but the more it comes closer the more I feel like am changing, I feel like it's a part of me which I need to complete. A wild wind blew on me and I change, my mouth no longer craves water, it now craves blood, I feel like eating the whole world up, my heart now beat so fast but this time sound different, it sound like a wild beast. I take a turn in search of a life to feed on, I saw a lady, I couldn't see her clearly but from afar you could tell she's pretty, so beautiful to the extent that her beauty calms my desire for human blood, but her situation seems similar to mine because all her long fingers are filled with human blood, suddenly her blue eyes stare into her my red eyes. What's this feeling am feeling right now I felt a connection and I start to move closer to her and she did the same. The more closer we move the farther the journey becomes, it's like there is a magnet drawing us away from each other, we get tired but keep on trying. I suddenly wake up from bed, gasping for air, panting heavily, I can't believe I was dreaming but also happy it was a dream, have been having this dream for the past fourteen years now. Lucian sighs heavily and gets up in bed. I move close to the mirror and stare at myself, I feel like am seeing someone else, someone different from who was standing in front of the mirror ." I smiled and flashback. "Mom!!! a seven-year-old boy screams out his mother's name in his dream ." That was the first time I had that dream, I was sweating and panting heavily, I love sleeping beside mum but she said a prince should always act like a man and brave prince, he shouldn't be scared of sleeping alone. I hate all these prince traditions, I turn to see who I can find in my wide bed but all I could see was a pillow, I took it and hug my pillow so tight. Early that morning I run to mom's chamber the fourth queen of king Jacob one of the great kings in diasel land. " Mom I need to share something with you," Lucian says to his mom panting and gasping for air. " My prince why are you panting like this, a prince should not run like this or sweat this much, he should be brave enough to solve his problems by himself." She held me with her both hands looking worried, worried that someone might see a prince running and looking scared because princes who always run and always act scared are considered to be a powerless king that won't be able to rule the kingdom so such a person will be denied the access of getting to the throne. " Mom I had a bad dream, I told her what I saw in my dream. " Looking scared acting like I didn't hear all she said. "It's justt a dream, my prince, a prince should never be scared of dreams. " She replied with that. " No mom stop saying that, it's not just a dream, it feels so real to the extent that I feel like am changing truly. " I add to my comment making it look scarier. " I told you it's just a dream!!, you need to be brave if not your other seven brothers will win you when it comes to king choosing try to be brave like them. " She yells at me. I was so scared with the way mom yells at me but gather the courage to reply to her with "okay mom. " " that's my boy, now go and change so we can go and say hello to the king." She hugs me and smiles. " Two years later mom died and mom was dad's favorite among all his four wives, that's the reason why my other seven brothers hate me more, they call it a palace but it seems more to me like a war ground than a home. I kept on having this bad dream so I decided to share it with my closest servant, the one I trust so much, we grew up together but I also lost him to death hands after two years I told him about my dream. That's why I decided to keep this dream of mine to myself because it seems like a spell to me and not a dream, the more I share it with people the more they die. Lucian's POV " Hmmm!! ," I went straight to the bathroom and take my bath, I walk to my wardrobe, take out one of my royalty clothes, put it on. "Elizabeth!!!" I call out my maid in charge of my food. "You called me my lord ?" she asked in a calm and sweet voice. "Yes, can you please set the table ?." I replied to her question with a question. "Yes, your highness." " Thank you," I replied walking to the dining, something just blew on me and I feel like eating up Elizabeth who is serving the food, I tried to control myself and I jack the glass cup in front of me filled with apple juice I drink it hurriedly. I could tell from her look she is surprised and scared, but the craves is just too much and angrily I slap the glass cup am holding on the floor, the glass cup mistakenly injure me, and blood run out of my hand but to my surprise, the wound disappear even before a drop of my blood could touch the floor. "A demon!!!? ." this word come out from Elizabeth's mouth and she was shivering and walking backward, running for her dear life. "I was also startled with what's happening, and Elizabeth's words keep on ringing on my head. "A demon? who? me?. " I aaid all these touching my chest surprise of who I was called. I couldn't control myself so I run out with a disastrous self reaching out for my horse, I need some fresh air, I climbed my horse, riding it rudely, the palace door was opened so I ride out rashly. "A demon!. " The world keeps on ringing on my head and the more I remember the word, the faster I ride my horse. Suddenly all those temptations for blood disappear and I can finally control myself, I decided to stop my horse for a rest and to think better. "Where am I?. " I find myself in a place like a mountain or should I say desert, the place looks scary. Then suddenly I saw a lady nagging and rudely talking to her mother. I quickly drag my horse and hide behind the tree. "Why am I hiding ?. " I ask myself but I don't even know, maybe because it just seems like the best decision right now. " Mom, why do you keep on telling me that, just look around do you see anyone, why is it that we are the only ones that live here ." She said and tears flow down her eyes, suddenly I felt a sharp pain in my heart. "Dysabel ..." Her mom call out her name, wow she has a sweet name that fits her beauty, have never seen any lady as beautiful as a peacock, I said this in me and smirk. But wait, if not that she called this woman mom, I would have thought she is her twin sister because the resemblance is just too much and she looks younger too. " My child, I told you times without number that outside world which you badly want to go is not meant for people like us, humans are wicked, they can't know about us daughter because if they do then they will criticize us, call us different names, we are different from them ." her mom explain to her in a motherly way. "Mom..!!!, that's my problem with you, you kept on saying the same thing all this while, "we are different from humans", just tell me what's the difference between us, we are humans they are humans too or is it that we are not humans ?". She asks a startling and shocking question. "Hmmm.." Her mom sighed. "You won't understand how my love, Dysabel just listen to your mom, and please don't go to the outside world yet, am not saying you won't go but it's not yet time baby ." Her mom replied in a calm tone. "Ohh okay it's fine, but for how long should I keep on having this bad dream? because something tells me it is all thanks to this place that's why I kept on having this weird dream. " She asks her mom with a sad face. "Wait a minute, she also dreams a bad dream ?. " Lucian murmur to himself where he was hiding. "Don't worry, I will tell you why you always have those dreams ." Her mom replied assuring her. Okay, but when mom ?." She asks like someone who badly needs the answer. "When it's time my love ." Her mom replied to her desperate question with that. "Wow, so all questions are always replied with that, but why mom, why is everything about me so different? you know what am going for a walk and I won't be back soon so don't wait for me just go back home ." She walked out angrily out of her mother's sight. "It would have been better if the pretty girl listen to her beautiful mom, I can't believe she has the life I always wanted, a quiet life, where no one knows me, a world where only I lives, truly the world is filled with wicked people just as her mom said earlier," I murmur to myself. Finding my way home wasn't easy cause i couldn't remember which way leads me here. I somehow find a way to go back home, I sometimes walk through the same route but luckily I manage to get home.
