Mated to the Vampire Lord novel Chapter 2

As Sam looked up from the water, she could only see candy's ponytail hair dancing in the air and her black woolen jacket.

'This girl must be catching a lot of fun over there' she thought and slipped back into the water.-

Candy continued walking through the cleared path of the thicket. The chirpings of birds shifted her attention from the butterfly. She narrowed her gaze and sighed when she saw nothing. She looked up again but the butterfly was gone. She cursed under her breath.

"I must get you this time." She muttered, the butterfly was now clinging to a leaf just a mile away. She cursed under her breath again. It seemed like her closeness alerted the butterfly to fly away for safety.

She didn't realize how far she had walked until a powerful and distinctive aura filled the atmosphere.

The place was dim and quiet, different from the thicket she arrived from. She looked up to see the sky but tall trees formed canopies overhead. She became scared and her eyes kept narrowing that she didn't realize she was moving along as well. She became confused and tried to run out. She wanted to run to the garden but she couldn't find the path she followed through. Standing motionlessly, her pulse hiked, inviting goosebumps to envelope her skin.

"Sam."

She muttered while her eyes welled up in tears. She decided to find her way back without realizing that she was going even deeper into the forest. The ground was sloppy at some spots and straight at another. She slapped her skin mistaking it for a fly and she could hear the sound echoed at a far angle.

She has already gotten tired and weary of walking yet she couldn't see any end yet. She decided to scream Sam's name to come to her rescue.

"Sam…"

"Sam…"

While she waited for the echo to die down, that aura she felt earlier filled the air again but now, it looked more real. So real as if a lot of wild animals were around her. She remained transfixed in the same spot using her two palms to cover her lips. Her breath changed to pants. The aura was strong; strong enough to leave one petrified.

Suddenly, two white figures appeared before her. They were both putting on black long sleeve shirts on top black trousers. Her hands vibrated on her lips as soon as they were very close to her and she could see their blood red eyes, longing at her hungrily. She has never seen these figures before.

She couldn't look at them for long because those red eyes were piercing through her. She wondered if everything about her would end: her life and family. She remembered her mum telling them that the forest was dangerous and it was the truth. Her heart welled up in regret and she wished she never came this far. She wished she didn't scream, no one would have seen her if she hadn't screamed.

She was jolted back to reality when she heard a voice. "She will make a good meal." The female figure said and curved her lips into a smirk. The male figure nodded to his mate. What are they planning to do with her? And the female figure saying she would make a good meal only meant one thing.

"Are these people vampires?"candy thought.

"Bade farewells.'' the male figure said and lowered in a position that his prey could get to his reach.

Candy shivered when she saw his incisor change to long fangs. The upper and lower incisors, four of them elongated. She wanted to scream but she couldn't. His fangs were almost brushing against her skin but they haven't touched yet. It sent hot chills to her body.

He held her head so that her neck could be tilted easily. Just when he was about to do it, he heard a scream "stop!'' so he rose immediately to kill whosoever that tried to stop him. It was that second that candy let out her breath. She has held her breath for so long.

She watched the male figure charge at his mate. Their eyes locked into each other's. He thought it was his enemy that tried to stop him.
