"No. No. Don't do this. Don't leave me....please...",Lucas cried out.

Thorem stared at Monique and finally confirmed she was indeed his daughter. This sums up the weird and familiar feeling he had back then. The witch did really a great job protecting her and raising her. She truly resembled her mother...his wife...Joana...but then again, another one of his beloved died and again, it was all because of him and he cried even more. "she also died because of me, why...why..."

"No, it wasn't your fault. Stop blaming yourself",Andre comforted him and patted his shoulder.

"Monique!",Argus yelled when he entered the room with Tyrone whose arm was broken.

Leo grabbed both of them and made them sit in the opposite direction of Lucc who was in pain begging Monique to wake up.

"Wait! We can still save her!",a tall guy with red colored hair appeared along with Loisa who cried when she saw Monique.

All of their attention was diverted to him except for Lucas.

"who are you?",Argus asked as he stood up trying to block his way.

"I'll answer that later. Let's save her first.",he said.

"just listen to him. Okay.",she said in a shy manner.

The room was in silence as they looked at him.

"Ombus, the logbook",he said

Suddenly, a voice was heard, "yes my lord", a small oval shaped portal opened beside him and a hand appeared holding a book. The guy took the book and scanned through the pages.

They were in shock at what they witnessed and stood dumbfounded except for Lucas who never left his gaze on Monique.

"I was right. She's not here which means her soul is still wandering somewhere",he confidently said then returned the book to the portal where the hand appeared again then the portal closed.

"holy shit",both Tyrone and Argus said.

Loki just furrowed his brows at them then looked towards Thorem.

"Tell me, how are we going to save her?",he was desperate to save his daughter, she was all that's left to him. Now that he found her, he would do anything to save her and be with her. He was willing to atone for the evil things he had done.

"There's a price for everything",Loki rubbed his chin.

"please I'm begging you, my prince. Anything! I'd do anything to save her!",Thorem pleaded.

"Are you sure about that?",he asked looking straight into his eyes.

"Yes, I would do everything to save her, even if it cost me my life",he said looking at his daughter.

"very well then. All you have to do is to turn her, well, she is actually a vampire but not fully which was also supressed due to the witch's spell that is why she looked like a normal human being and she probably thought she is a human.",Loki answered.

All of them disagreed because it might be hard for Monique to accept such changes.

Noticing their protest he continued, "She is half vampire as of now and I repeat, she is not actually human,  she is a supposed to be 100% pure vampire but thanks to your witch who did a marvelous job, things became complicated. Now, if you won't do what I just said, we'll lost her, there's no other way. Her soul would wander aimlessly and you wouldn't want that to happen, right?",he looked at each of them and they became silent.

Thorem cleared his throat and nodded then signalled Lucas to give Monique to him which Lucas hesitated at first but Loki placed a hand on his shoulder and nodded saying, "It'll be alright."

Thorem readied himself, but Loki spoke once again, "Oh, I almost forgot, this might cost you half of your life (vampires are not immortal they just age slower than us). So after this, you better take good care of yourself if you still want to be with her longer. You will just turn her completely and I'll be the one to unite her soul and body which is quite against the law, that is why I have to take half of your life as a compensation, sorry",he said then stepped back.

"I still don't get it. Who is he? Also why did Monique's father called him my prince? How did that hand appear? How did he know about souls? Who the hell would take away half of a person's life?",Argus asked as he stared at Loki cautiously who was sitting beside Loisa.

They were all gathered in the living room.

Loisa uncomfortably adjusted her glasses. "Um...he, ah...",then scratched the back of her head.

"He is Loki, the seventh prince of the underworld.",Lucas answered smiling then noding at Loki and Loki did the same thing.

"what?",Tyrone and Argus spoke in chorus.

Loisa was also surprised by what Lucas had said. She had known him not long ago and even wondered about him and his mysterious abilities and now she was finally enlightened.

"that's impossible",Argus refused to believe.

"um, I suggest that you should believe and stop provoking him"Loisa butted in when she remembered what happened back then when they were fighting against the newly turned vampires.

"Oh, he is real.",it was André who spoke and sat with them on the living room. "So what brings you here, prince  Loki. You're not running out of reapers that you have to personally take care of their jobs, are you?",André was smiling, teasing Loki.

(Confused? André , Thorem and Lucifer himself knew each other. As for their history how they knew each other, there's a price to pay if you wanna know😜)

"Nah, actually, I am here to find a very stubborn person. Such a headache. And who would have thought I'd landed on the exact place where that person is.",he chuckled.

"yyyou're nnot taking my sssoul right?",Loisa stammered.

"no silly.",he patted her head then messed up her hair. "Not you. This person is a troublemaker, a pain in the ass, who left my father without a word and now I have to leave my job and do such lame task just because of this person, am I right, mother?",he smirked and looked at Maria who was standing opposite to him.

Maria's eyes grew wider and she smiled sheepishly. "Oh, dear",she said when she was caught.

They couldn't believe what Loki had said as they turned to look at the old Maria.

"Hey, Maria is a human",Argus spoke still unconvinced.

"Sorry dear.",she smiled awkwardly then there was some sort of smoke coming from her and poof....

"Oh what the fck is going on!",Argus couldn't hold back his confusion. First there was Thorem, now this Loki and what's worst? Maria! She had been with them for many years and she wasn't actually Maria?

Everyone was surprised except for Lucas and his father , so they all turned towards the father and son.

"It's not my fault that your senses are weak",Lucas said as he smirked then drink the red liquid from his goblet.

Then they all turned to look back at Maria once again. The old woman, was replaced by a younger looking woman, red hair, flawless skin, slim waist and slender legs. She was a sight to behold. She was like a supermodel who got out from a magazine. She looked like in her mid 30's but was actually a thousand years old.

"never thought Maria would be that hot. Damn.",Argus said snapping his fingers but was punched in the stomach by Leo.

"Oh my gosh!",it was Monique who just got out from her room aided by his father then Lucas stood up and offered his hand to Monique. "thanks dad", she said as she smiled at Thorem .

"Oh, Thorem, you look old",Maria teased.

"shut up. You're older than us",he retorted.

Monique looked at all of them and smiled.

"what are you thinking?",Lucas whispered.

"How, I wish, we'd be like this forever.  Everybody is so happy",Monique answered and clung on to Lucas' shoulder then Lucas kissed her forehead and pinched her cheek.

"Useless! Idiot! A bunch of fools!!!",she yelled throwing everything in the room then looked at herself in the mirror.

"Well, now it'll be easy to wipe all of you since you're all together. I will make sure to destroy all of you! I will rule and every creature will bow down to me! There will be only one ruler in this world and that would be me!!!",she smiled then laughed wickedly.

"Am I right? Joana?",she cupped her cheek and smiled menacingly at the woman who was sitting like a lifeless doll on the chair.
