Fated to Meet

2774 Words
A group of men runs away fast as the siren echoes the whole avenue. They have reached a dead end and was trying to look for a way to escape. "Boss, I think we have been surrounded." blurted one of his men who are trying to get rid of the bloodstain of his hand, on the other hand, the man in a leather jacket runs his fingers through his hair in frustration, he couldn't believe that his reign as a Mafia Boss ends here. "How can this happened, we were careful enough to planned out this mission, what went wrong?" he mumbled as he refuses to believe on the situation. One of his trusted men spoke. "Perhaps somebody gave us away boss." he glared at his trusted man, "Impossible, nobody else knows about this except you and..." he squinted his eyes and looks around, "Where is Justin?" Meanwhile, a man standing on a rooftop not far from where the group was trying to observe the scene. He is somehow skeptical of what he did after all these men stood as his family for as long as he remembers but he just couldn't take how they treated those others mercilessly especially the women and children. "Am I doing the right thing?" he pauses as if he was waiting for an answer but he got nothing and chuckled on his own. "I guess that voice I heard was just my imagination after all, but why do I hear it every time I'm in trouble?" he took a sigh and suddenly heard gunshots. "No, no, no don't fight back." he jumps on a stairway and runs towards the area where the gang was as the gunshots continued to roar, as soon as he reached the place his eyes widened to see dead bodies lying on the ground. Not a single soul is spared. "Jack, what have you done? This is not what we talked about."," I'm sorry Justin but they fired the gun first and they refuse to be taken alive." Jack replied, Justin couldn't stop his eyes from getting teared up, sure he wants to put an end to the wrongdoing of his so-called family but never to end their lives. Guilt started to build inside him as he was the cause of his entire clan's death and he is now certain that the other clan will seek revenge on whoever is the cause of this and is the only one alive will stir up suspicions. Jack pat his back. "You better hide for now man, I'm sure they will not stop until they will put an end to the traitor. Besides, think of your sister, they will use her to get to you. If you want to escape you better do it now." Justin without any hesitation left the place and run to look for Eva. It was almost an hour he went to the places he knows his sister would be working but he somehow can seem to find her. He reached home and look for her in every area, "Eva!" he shouted, "Eva, where are you?" A little later she came in by the front door, worried rush to her to see Justin leaning on a staircase with his head held low. "Justin, are you okay?" tears streaming down his face he answered, "I messed up pretty bad Eva, I killed them, I led them to their death," Justin told Eva everything and that they need to find a safer place for them to stay but where? "Don't worry I know a place, but this may be a bit shocking to you since you might think that place never existed. But trust me, it's the only safe place we can go to." wiping his tears, "Anywhere but here Eva." she nodded. "Alright but you have to promise me to do everything I say, it may be a safe place for us but those whose around are not." " I put you to this, so it's only fair to follow your every word." she stood up, "Right pack up some of your stuff and meet me here, hurry." he runs towards his room without any delay. Eva who is just watching him go said to herself, "I guess fate is doing its way to bring you back Justin." Meanwhile in a school to a certain place, while everyone is on their break, their peace was disturbed by unwanted visitors whose job was only to bring commotion to everyone. A smirk appeared on his face as he got everyone's attention. "Hello everyone, I came here to collect the unwanted pets." nobody dared to go against him, Drake is known to be a member of the royal blood of which is his hunger for revenge and the only thing that keeps him going. Pets, the word used to humans taking refuge in the place where other entities existed. They will be chosen to serve as slaves or turned to be royal guards and if lucky be owned. Humans will be either privileged or unwanted. The unwanted will be taken away by other clans outside the kingdom, and that's why Drake is there for. "I need ten strong-looking men." as soon as the order has been given, his men go around the whole room grabbing men they think are the best addition to their clan. Nobody dared to oppose him, even those who were owned were taken, but their activity came to a stop when a fairy appeared and back off. "Drake, what are you doing?" he laughed, "A fairy, they left the whole school to a fairy?", "Don't underestimate fairies Drake, we may not be a high-level species Like vampires but we fight until death to defend our honor. Guards!" One by one guard appear, "Protect the innocents." she created a barrier for the others, "Do you think it will hold water fairy?"," It will, it has too." He smirked, "I admire your bravery fairy, tell you what, if you come with me I will spare everyone and..." without letting him finish, "Forget it, Drake, I will never turn my back on my on this kingdom." She spatted as he laughs hysterically, "Suit yourself." he looks at his men, "Do not hesitate, kill whoever stands against you." his men attacked and the guards fought back, having a water fairy did have it's an advantage but his men were also strong enough to inflict wounds on the guards and worst kill. Drake has a smile on his face, it amuses him to see someone hurt and bleeding. Time passed and it made him get bored already. Massaging his forehead, he stood up. "Finish them off." he gave the last order but the fairy who is now exhausted muster all of her strength and created a bubble to each of Drake's men, and water slowly filled it up, seeing his men struggle he shook his head. "Useless bunch of idiots." he raised his hand and banged it on the ground creating a wave that caused the fairy and the guards to be thrown back and fell to the ground and his men were free from the water bubble. He walks slowly towards the fairy and grabs her by her neck. "You are something Fiona." feeling so weak she answered, "You don't deserve to utter my name." he grinned and tighten his grip, she gasp for air and squirm to free herself, he almost to break his neck when the door opens. "Stop! Put her down." loosen his grip he smirked at the woman standing by the entrance, "Finally a member of the royal welcomed me, nice to see you again Princess," he throws the fairy away but some guards were fast enough to catch her. "Drake, you have come a little early the batch has not arrived yet.", "Then I will just take whoever." she scoffed, "You can't do that, there's no unwanted here."," Then let's make one." Targeting some fairy with male partners. But before he could instruct his men the princess spoke, "They shouldn't have made a deal with you, you never follow any rules at all." " Oh but that's what is supposed to be, princess. We come and go." she chuckled, "Why not come when the others are here? his smiles fade and are replaced with glares as he walks slowly towards her secretly creating a whirl in his hand, he was ready to throw it to her when a pissed voice was heard coming from behind the princess. "I dare you to hurt my wife in front of me Drake." everyone bowed their head in respect to the prince's arrival. "Cousin, I wouldn't tempt to." Hans pulled his wife and place her behind him, "Creating trouble again I see, why don't you pick on somebody your size." Hans challenge, "Oh I wouldn't say no to that. Even if we were trained together before Hans, I think in combat you won't stand a chance with me." Hans smirked, "Let's try to see shall we?" without hesitation Drake throw him the small whirlwind from his hand but he was fast to block it with his wind powers too. Members of the royal blood from both kinds were bestowed by the elemental powers to protect themselves from their common enemy, the rogues or resistance. Both Hans and Drake came from the same bloodline that's why they use the wind element. Drake was right when he says Hans is no match with him in terms of his combat skills but he cannot deny the fact that his wind powers were stronger and advanced, after all, he is a crowned prince. The fight was of Hans advantage. "My, my Hans you are becoming a good fighter." he mumbled, "Too bad you're not the chosen one to rule the kingdom." he added. "It won't work Drake, whatever you will say, I am not going against my sister. Blood is supposed to be thicker than water, but then again you aren't royal." hitting a nerve from Hans statement Drake attacked him aggressively and successfully throw a punch straight to his face that caused him to fall. Drake gave off a smile of victory, "How you like that?" spitting off blood from his mouth and wiping his mouth with the back of his hand. "You know I was supposed to go easy on you but..." he disappeared right in front of Drakes's eyes and appeared behind him and whispered, "You are still a dirty fighter." Drake was startled by the voice from behind turn and his neck was caught by Hans's big hands, he was about to break Drakes's neck when suddenly an arrow flew towards him, and his reflex he was able to catch it but groan at the burning sensation coming from the arrow. It was a silver arrow, being distracted Drake took the opportunity to draw his knife and stab Hans but the tip of the knife didn't even touch him. "How dare you draw your knife to my brother." Drakes's eyes widened to see glaring red eyes and a pissed-looking face. "Elle." Elle raised both of her hands and in an instant Drake and his men float in the air. "Last warning Drake, don't make me do things you don't want." she balled her fist and Drake and his men suddenly have difficulty in breathing. "You know what I mean, right?" she raised her brow, gasping for air Drake nods his head fast. She opens her palm and they breath freely again. "Now get out of my kingdom." as soon as she sets him free from telekinesis, Drake and his men disappeared. She looks at Hans wound. Trevor appeared with an unconscious human. "I found the culprit." he said. "Wait, I remembered him. He is one of the unwanted before." the princess said. "Are you sure?" Hans asked, "I know him. He is that one I ordered to be put away since he has been a trouble maker around." Nolan the head of the Royal Knight came forward, "At least now we know what Drake and his clan is up to. They were recruiting human to do their dirty jobs, since human is immune with silver." "It doesn't matter. Humans should be treated well. Since our kinds are also trying to fit in their place." Elle blurted. "The reason they were treated well its because e they don't know that our kind existed." Hans informed. Elle retorted, "They don't know about us, we don't know what they've been through, and yet we tried to exist in each others worlds. Your purpose to stay in the human world is to protect our kind, my purpose to reign is to balance and maintain peace." she ended and took a deep breath. "I am tired. Kelly, make sure my brother's wound is healed." talking to Hans wife. "Understood Elle." everybody bowed their heads as she left the place. Hans look at the three brothers. "How is she?" Samuel the oldest of the knight brothers answered, "She is still having enough strength to face the enemy even with the fact that she hasn't fed for too long." Hans sighed, "Its been three years already that your brother died." looking at Kelly. "I already had a talk with her about it but she seems not bothered by it. Maybe it will work if you will talk to her again." Kelly said. Hans looks at the wounded, "Get the wounded to the infirmary. Burn the dead ones." he took her wife's hands and disappeared from the place. "You heard his highness, get moving." Nolan ordered the rest of the guard. "I will be welcoming the new batch of humans later." Samuel announced. Nolan chuckled, "You mean you're welcoming your girlfriend back." Samuel rolled his eyes and disappeared. The next morning, Elle was standing at the balcony of school over looking at the school ground, a vortex appeared and humans one by one came. She was observing the scene when her brother stood beside her. "How are you holding up?" he asked. "I'm doing well Hans, you don't have to worry about me." he chuckled, "You as a Queen I won't waste my time worrying, but I'm asking as a brother to his only sister." "As a sister, I'll be needing that hug now." she mumbled as Hans engulfed his sister to his tight embrace. "I missed you Hans." ,"And I love you little sister. Please look out for yourself, you need to feed." she shook her head. "No, I won't be feeding blood from humans anymore." ,"You're feeding with mine Elle." her eyes widened, "The last time I did that, I almost killed you." she pushed him a little, "Almost, but didn't. Remember Elle, this Kingdom is still at its peak of war. The reason why the enemy didn't attack is because they knew you won't allow this kingdom to fall. But if they knew you've grown weak, that will be the time for them to take that advantage. And to think you haven't found a mate yet." "I don't need a mate to run the Kingdom Hans." he laugh, "I know, but for your people, that's the only way for them to feel secured. No one is ever loyal than a Vampire Queen's Mate." she smiled, "Maybe I don't have one." ,"You have, you just haven't found him yet." they both smiled. "Look the humans are here, that means I need to go back, but before I do, you need to fed. I'm the only vampire capable for that." she nods. "I'll better spend time with my wife before she will leave me permanently." he kissed her forehead before he walks away, but before he totally left she spoke. "What's that smell?" she asked, Hans faced her, "What smell?" she closed her eyes and tried to sense where the smell came from, as she opened her eyes, another eyes meet hers but it came from the group of humans who just arrived. From the ground Justin was looking around until his eyes landed at the beautiful woman standing in the balcony, "Who is she?" he asked. Following his stare Eva suddenly pulled Justin head down, "Don't stare at her. You can stare at anyone else here but not her." he frowned, "Why?" ,"Justin, you just stare straight at the Queen. Let's just hope she didn't see you. I'll explain later, right now keep your head down." Justin did what he was told as for the Queen, her gaze never left the man's figure in the middle of the crowd. With a wrinkled forehead "Another human? That's impossible!" she then balled her fist.
