Married to the Prince of Darkness (COMPLETED)

Chapter 62

"We don't have a few moments," Nico growled. "Once Luc discovers that your gone, he will stop at nothing to find you. He will literally be having the guards tear this city down brick by brick to find you. We need to act fast, we don't have time to get - sentimental... This city doesn't need another Tuta the Terrible."

I shivered, recalling the of great Prince who destroyed the first vampire empire after descending into madness and using his dark power to destroy an entire city. Nico had always warned me that Luc could head down the same road as his terrible ancestor, Tuta. I shook my head and said, "Luc's not like that, he's good."

Nico arched a cynical eyebrow and said, "That's not what you told me a few days ago."

I cringed remembering our last conversation, as we were being chased by Luc and his guards and I'd revealed to him suspicions about Luc. But since than things had changed. Bowing my head I said, "I did think that, but I was wrong. Someone who I considered a friend and who I had trusted blindly turned out to be liar. She told me things about Luc which made me doubt him... I should have known better."

Nico did the maths and said, "Are we talking about Henrietta?"

I nodded my head in reply. "I thought she was my friend, but I was wrong. She'd been lying the whole time to me."

Nico fell silent, withholding his judgment from me and then opened his mouth to speak but was interrupted by rumbling sound in the distance. All of us stopped and listened. Dust and debris suddenly began to fall from the ceiling as the ground beneath started tremble. Jacques grabbed me, pulling me into the shelter of his larger frame as suddenly the whole chapel jolted back and forth.

"What's happening?!" I screamed.

It felt like an earthquake. The building shook and outside I started to hear the sound of car alarms and sirens going off in the distance. A large chunk of plaster suddenly fell from the ceiling and came crashing down centimetres from where I was standing. Jacques pulled me backwards towards the wall and held me there until the shaking finally subsided.

"What the hell was that?" Jacques asked stepping away from me.

Straightening myself up I replied, "I think it was an earthquake."

"That was no earthquake," Casper said suddenly rejoining us. "That was my big brother. My guess is that he has discovered that his favourite thing in the world has gone missing and already he is starting to lose control over his powers."

"Then I must go back to him," I said. "Without me he'll turn into a ticking time bomb."

Casper reluctantly agreed. "Yes, you'll have to go back to him sooner that I thought, otherwise the earthquakes will only worsen, and other natural disasters will inevitably follow. But first I'll need your help in investigating the scholar who is mentioned in my mother's journal. It should only take a day or so, then I'll return you to the palace, unscathed and unharmed. That should please my brother."

"Thank you," I replied.

"However first, I want to hear everything you've learned about Celia. Then we will go and find this scholar - Okay?" he asked.

I nodded my head and replied, "Okay."
