fighting with two dogs on the floor. He used his vampire powers to get them off him. Odik returned to the site and saw Eros in the fight with his gigantic dogs. “Devour him!” The wizard screamed at them.
I felt a deep desperation watching that scene and I could not do anything to prevent the dogs hurting Eros. I shook the cage with all the force that came from my distress. I had to save him. He was there for me. I put him in danger. “Let him go! Do what you have to do to me!” I cried deeply, as if my prayers could save him from some danger.
Vincent appeared at the scene, flying over the room. When I saw my father, hope painted the face of defeat. I thought everything was not lost yet. “Father!” I cried. Vincent flew up to the wizard Odik and held his throat firmly with his hands. His intent was to strangle him. “I'll do to you what I should have done centuries ago!” Vincent raised his hand and a metal bar flew up his hand. He pulled out the head of the wizard with it. The body fell to the ground without its skull. The wizard’s head rolled on the ground like a ball.
Vincent looked at Eros struggling with two dogs on the ground. Energy went out of his hands and hit the dogs, throwing them onto the wall. They were destroyed and dissolved like ashes. Eros got up from the floor . His clothes were torn, and there were several bites on his arm. He was very hurt. I fell to the ground, relieved to see everything ended well. That wizard no longer existed and those devouring dogs were gone. Eros was safe.
“Stay down!” my father ordered. I buried my head onto the ground, protecting me from what would come next. My father stared at the cage. Red rays came out of his eyes, hit the metal and melted the cage.
I looked up and saw I was free. I got up and ran to hug my father. “How did you get here?” My father asked as he hugged me. “It was my fault!” I replied with my face hidden in his costume.
Chapter 28
We returned to the castle. For me, returning was faster than the trip there. The three of us were standing in the living room. I was dirty and Eros was wounded. My father demanded an answer from me about what had just occurred. “How did you learn of the existence of a wizard?”
I cast a worried stare upon Eros, before answering my father’s question. “Valeska told me,” I said low. “Valeska!” He said angrily. “Did she know everything?” “She only wanted to help me ,” I said. “Be quiet!” my father said screaming at me. I had never seen him like that. He never treated me that way.
“Bring Valeska here!” he ordered Eros. Eros left the main room and then he returned in the company of Valeska. “ Does my master desire to talk to me?” Valeska asked, frightened. “Why did you tell Valkyrie about the existence of wizard Odik?” he asked , upset.
“She asked for my help,” Valeska answered with her head down. She couldn’t face her master. “What help?” he insisted. “She wanted to become human again.” “And you put her in danger!” Vincent threw Valeska against the wall, using his vampire power . Her body slipped on the smooth surface and stopped on the floor.
“I just wanted to help Valkyrie,” she said with difficulty as she was sobbing. “You betrayed me!” Vincent said and knocked his chair down. Bizak ran into the main room when he heard the noise. He stopped next to Eros, without understanding what was happening. “And I don’t accept traitors in our midst!” Vincent grabbed Valeska’s arm, pulling her up. “You know our rules! Do you know what will happen to you?” Vincent dragged her to other room of the castle. “Valkyrie , stop your father! I did this because of you!” Valeska pleaded. I tried to do something and made a move to leave the place and go after them . I was desperate to alleviate the suffering of Valeska.
But Eros held my arm firmly so I could not go after them. I
