Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

“A curse that had been placed on the word she was going to say.” with a look of bewilderment, she raised her head with some difficulty as if asking him to explain further.

“When witches want to hide the truth, they place a curse on it. Whenever any person tries to speak about it, the curse activates automatically and explodes the person who was trying to speak about it.

But why do I feel that you are the one who had placed the curse this time, Hazel.”

“Huh?” shocked beyond her senses she looked at him as if he had gone crazy.

How could she do something she had no idea about?

And why did he think it was her?

With so many questions in her mind, she did not know how to reply to him since he was looking at her intensely as if he was trying to find how she had done it._.

“I am not a witch to do that! I am just an ordinary human who has no idea what a curse is, how it is put or lifted!” she muttered but winced as she felt the pain in her body was increasing.

She held her stomach and decided to avoid him for now as the conversation only was increasing her heart beat and it resulted in pain.

“I know but then you can not forget that the witch was about to say something related to you.

But now is not the time. You are looking sick, why don’t you rest here for a bit while I will bring water for you.” she nodded as she did not want to see his face for a minute.

His words were irritating her further. Not to forget that her knees went weak and she did not feel like walking anymore.

She sat down under the tree where he had pointed at without any argument and closed her eyes.

She felt like all the nerves of her head were throbbing and it was paining so damn much as if she was about to explode too.

“Are you sure you would be fine alone?” looking at her frail look and weak eyes, he did not know if he should leave her alone but he knew that she needed water to drink and to clean herself or he was sure that she would vomit again.

“Yes, if possible I want to rest for a while even after drinking water. I feel like drowning myself under water until the smell lets go of me.” he nodded as he could see the look on her face.

Making sure there was no one around, he jumped out a wall and vanished from there.

“Was she really triggered because of me?” though she had frowned when he pointed it out as her fault. She could not deny that the witch was talking about her when she exploded.

Could it be that she really was a witch? With the thought crossed her mind, she looked at the small pebble around her and concentrated.

She didn’t know what she was expecting but she was hoping that it would move or something else might happen.

If she was a witch she should have some powers! She had heard what the witch was whispering before.

When they caught her, they whispered a spell that brought a rope in their hands.

Should she try that? Thinking that it would take her mind away from the awful feeling she was having and she might find the truth behind her, she nodded her head and closed her eyes.

She whispered the same spell again and again as she raised her head high in the sky waiting for a rope to appear out of nowhere.

“Oh my, such a pretty girl is begging at this late hour? Are you not worried that someone will take your benefit?” surprised by the sudden voice beside her, she snapped her eyes open and tilted her head to her left side when she saw a strange man sitting there.

“Who are you?” she asked as she looked at the man with a cold look. Already moving her hands to a sharp stone beside her, she held it tightly in her hands, preparing herself to attack if the need arises.

“Tsk! You are asking like you know the name of everyone in the town that you will recognise me from.” he chuckled as if he had told a great joke but she did not feel any humor behind his sarcastic remark.

“What  happened to you? You like you have swam in blood and is this meat?” he pointed at her hair and then forwarded his hands and took out a small freckle of meat from her hair.

Her nose scrunched up as if she would vomit again. Never in her life did she feel disgusted with herself but strangely the man was sitting there calmly even when he took out the flesh of the witch from her hair.

Was he not feeling repulsed by it?

“Girl you are looking too pathetic? Come with me, I will let you take a bath in my house!” He stood up and offered his hand to her when she raised a brow.

Though the offer was tempting, she did not know him. After today’s event, she had learnt her lesson that she could not trust anyone whom she did not know.

What if he was a witcher too who had come to take her life again.

Even Rafael was not there. What if he came to look for her later and felt anxious when he did not find her.

“You are wary of me. Aren’t you?” he sighed as he shook his head.

“Well I can not blame you. After the recent incidents, no one trusts strangers. You are right at your place to not come with me but girl you are full of stench of blood!” He pointed at his stained dress and then placed his hands in his pocket and took out a small bottle of water.

“Here, at least wash your face and drink some water!”
