The sound of a gunshot echod within the surroundings and the vampire who was approaching her fell to the ground. His leg had been shot.
“F*ck! I can’t believe this witch has a gun on her!” the vampire groaned. “Everyone, be careful!”
“And I can’t believe His Highness fell just like that! What happened to him?!” it was as though pandemonium had broken out.
“I never thought I’d ever see His Highness reduced to this state in my entire lifetime! Like ever. It’s even hard to accept that this is him! What did this witch do to him?! She must have sucked up all his strength and power for him to be reduced into such state!” some of the vampires snarled and raged as they stared furiously at Alicia. Their eyes were clearly blaming her for the weakening of their crown prince to this state that he was in right now. Rage and hate were directed at her in abundance.
And Alicia never thought that such words would be enough to affect her. When she fired the gun, Alicia felt that she had to push Ezekiel’s big body off her a little so she could get a proper aim at the approaching vampire.
Since he turned her into her physical form, Alicia had never once managed to push Ezekiel off her. Her body was so weak to even manage to do that. And yet, right now, she had managed to push his heavy body and fire the gun with precision. She realized that her strength seemed to have returned. Why? How could that even happen? Could it be that these vampires were saying the truth? That she had actually used up Ezekiel’s power and reduced him to this state? Her heart started to wither as the thought crossed her mind. No! Let that not be the case! She would rather die than allow her beloved person to suffer through this.
“Right. She must have drained His Highness’ powers dry to stay in her physical form! We need to get her off him! I’m afraid this damned witch will end up killing His Highness!” the vampires around them were shouting out in agitation.
“Grab her now while His Highness can’t fight! This is the only chance we have!”
Alicia lifted her hand and fired the gun again. But the vampires did not budge this time and still approached, effectively dodging the bullets with their inhuman speed.
Gritting her teeth, Alicia tried her best to stay calm. This gun was not helping! She so badly wanted to utter a spell this instant, but she was afraid. She remembered what Ezekiel had said when he gave her the gun, that he forbade her to use her magic because she would only draw out more power from him.
And now, after what she heard from those vampires and feeling and seeing Ezekiel’s situation, Alicia was terrified. The fear that she might have made his state even worse if she used magic gripped her entire being so hard. What was she to do now?!
She sent another shot at the vampire but right after that, the gun was kicked out of her hand. Her hand went numb at the impact of someone’s shoes.
Then someone reached out to grab her shoulder, meaning to yank her away from Ezekiel’s arms. Alicia could only shut her eyes tightly and increased her grip on Ezekiel. What should she do? Think Alicia! Please!
A sound of cracking bones right behind her echoed in her ears and her eyes flew wide open.
Zeke had grabbed the offending vampire’s hand an inch before he could touch Alicia and twisted it, causing the vampire to scream out in pain as his hand was now bent at an impossible angle. For sure, his hand was broken through.
Zeke’s eyes were bloodshot as he peered through his tussled dark hair that was damp with sweat. “Who allowed you to attempt to touch my woman?” Zeke growled. “Touch her and you’ll die.”
Alicia was paralyzed at what she had just heard.
The vampires were shocked and could not move for a long while even after Zeke let go of the vampire’s hand.
But then, that male’s voice thundered out once again.
“Don’t falter! Seize her and get her off him!” they were adamant on wanting to remove her from their prince.
And the vampires came at them all at once.
“Dare to do that and I will kill every single one of you, I swear!!!” Ezekiel growled once again but the vampires were determined to carry out their mission successfully. Even as they shuddered at the prince’s warning, they just gritted their teeth and did not dare back off.
They grabbed onto Ezekiel’s arm to peel his hold off of her.
“Damn it! He’s not budging!” one vampire groaned.
“Force him to let go! Now!” the leader barked out.
Someone hit Zeke from behind and he groaned. Still, his hold on her did not loosen one bit. They did not stop trying to wrench Alicia out of his hold. They came at Zeke on all sides until he started to bleed but Alicia never received any hit at all. She was perfectly protected by Ezekiel in the midst of this chaos.
Alicia was trembling. She was biting her lips so damned hard to stop herself from uttering a spell. She could not take this anymore. She planned to teleport, but what if she ended up taking too much strength form Ezekiel by doing that? She did not have any weapons on her. And the gun that Ezekiel had given her had been disarmed by the vampire earlier. She can try to fight, but once she was released from Ezekiel’s grip now, all they had to do was pull on her and that was enough to sever their physical contact.
“Ezekiel…” she could only whisper out his name helplessly.
Until a strong blow hit him. Alicia knew how strong it was because she had felt the strong impact even though she was not the one they hit. Even though she was in the protective embrace of his arms.
They took that opportunity to grab her and the next thing she knew, she was being pulled out from Ezekiel’s embrace.
The world seemed to move in slow motion as she watched her hand slowly being forcefully separated from Ezekiel’s as the vampires pulled her roughly away from him.
