Valkyrie - the Vampire Princess 2 by Pet Torres

body.
    “I am the daughter of Vincent! You might know him!”
    “You are daughter of Vincent! Why didn't you tell me this before?” He whispered, interested.
    His expression changed and he smiled at me with his pointed, dark teeth . His mouth was almost worse than the mouths of his dogs.
    “Come on!”

He made a brief gesture with his hand so I was behind him. We walked up to his witchcraft room. A dark place with many strange objects, fine for his spells. There was also enough dirt present. A dark dust raised up when he reached for his objects. It might have been hundreds of years since he hadn’t cleared those things.
    “I didn’t know Vincent has a daughter!”
    He said, looked into my eyes and smiled again with his dark teeth. His image was horrible.
    “What's your name?” he asked.
    “…Valkyrie!” I answered, suspicious of him.
    “Valkyries are respected goddesses of war!” He explained.
    I smiled weakly, compensating his unnecessary comment.
    “Why do you appeal for my help if you're the daughter of Vincent?” He asked.

“Because my father would never consent to my desire ,” I answered.
    “What is your wish?”
    “To quit being a vampire,” I said.
    “Are you aware of what you are asking me?” he asked, dubious.
    “If I wasn’t, I wouldn’t be here,” I said, ill-mannered.
    “Now you speak like your father.”
    “If you know him so well, then you know what it costs me to come here.”
    “He does not know about your whereabouts,” he commented.
    “Why did you say that?” I asked, becoming frightened.
    “Do not take into account what I just mentioned,” he said and shook his head at himself.
    “In relation to my wish, can you help me?” I insisted.

“Ex-vampires don’t exist.” he said.
    “So you cannot help me ,” I said, discouraged and looked down the ground.
    “Well... I can try ,” he said after an instant.
    “What will you do?”
    “I have to prepare a formula, but it will take hours to get ready. It might be ready when night falls,” he explained.
    In my countenance remained a concern . If I stayed out all night, my father might miss me and maybe Valeska would not be able to foil him in time for my return.
    “Some problem?” The wizard asked, seeing my worried expression.
    “I hope th is can be done in the time you mentioned” I said with my decisive voice.
    “So come on,  I can start the process.”
    “Where will you take me?” I asked.
    “I will take you to a safe place.”

 
    He grabbed my arm and directed me to a circle . Seconds later, a steel cage from the top came down and I got stuck in it. I could see everything around me.
    I was frightened as I was imprisoned in that place. I gripped the cage bars and touched my face against it.
    “Why have you imprisoned me here?” I asked loudly.
    “Take it easy! Being here, you will be safe from my dogs ,” he said quietly.
    “This is not comfortable!” I whispered.
    “Be quiet! I need concentration to prepare your formula.”
    I felt within me a prognosis there was something wrong with that wizard.
    I wasn’t sure about his true intentions, if he really had some intention to help me.
     

Chapter 24
     

Night came quickly. Everyone was present in my father’s castle, except me.
    My father requested my presence in the living room.
    “Go get Valkyrie! I haven’t seen her today.”
     
    “Valkyrie hasn’t returned yet from her walk ,” Valeska said to my father, with her wide eyes, she was afraid of being discovered by him.
    “Walk?” he insisted.
    “She mentioned ... the woods,” Valeska said slowly.
    “She should already have returned,” Vincent said, concerned.
    “We can go after her ,” Bizak mentioned as he was standing alongside Eros.
    “Do it!” Vincent ordered them.
    “She might be back?” Valeska questioned.

“You two go to look for her now!” Vincent ignored Valeska’s useless comment.
     
    Eros and Bizak were looking for me immediately.
    They entered the woods since
