Vlad's pov
Danny and me were walking along the mountain trail. She seemed very happy that evening. Holding her big, puffy gown skirt, she looked at me and smiled. The sky was dark and the stars glittered in the sky. The moon let down her soothing rays on all around us. I smiled at her and it turned into an expression of alarm when I saw her trip on her long, flowy gown. Fortunately, I managed to catch her just in time.
" Be careful, darling", I said to her. She clasped my arms and said, " I don't have to worry about anything as long as I have you with me...", smiling.
" My, my, my...just look at the wonderful couple. Awww... aren't you two lovely together? But so sad it's going to be a tragic love story", she said pouting and then smirking.
I turned around to see a woman all dressed in black smirking evilly at us. She had her hood on, but I managed to know who she was.
" Akeldama, why are you here?", I asked her darkly, shielding Danielle behind me.
" Hiding her, I see", she chuckled maliciously.
She was triggering my anger. I could feel my eyes turning dark and my fangs enlarging. My heartbeat increasing, I snarled. For some reason, I wasn't getting a good feeling about it.
" Calm down sweetie...", I heard Danielle whispering behind me into my ears, holding me tight.
" What do you want?", I asked Akeldama angrily.
" I destroyed your parents' love. Time to destroy yours", she said laughing loudly. She pulled out an obsidian shard looking at it as if she had won something precious.
Danielle was peeping from behind my back. I could feel her tears on my back coat. I could hear her sobbing holding me tight from behind. Her nails clawing on my front torso coat piece, holding me tight as if she was about to lose me while Akeldama looked interestingly at us laughing out loud and madly and darkly. An evil dark witch she was.
I looked back at Danielle, " What happened?," I asked her, cupping her beautiful, angelic face in my hands. She joined our foreheads,sharing her visions with me. I closed my eyes from the powerful energy. All I saw was red and all I could hear were screams and cries.
I could feel being thrown away by some heavy force. I could feel a searing pain on my back. I opened my eyes only to find that it was Akeldama who threw that energy ray towards me. I got up and snarled at her and ran to her only to be attacked by her by another ray.
" NO!", Danielle screamed.
I could see a bright light looming out of Danielle's palms and ascending towards Akeldama, but then she shot another of her powerful rays towards her. Danielle was close to defeat her when she dropped down clutching her chest tightly and letting out a blood curdling scream. Akeldama ran to reach out to her when I managed to get to her, plunging my dragon knife into her back. She let out a scream, her face contorting in pain and anger. She fell down writhing in pain when I saw her skin cracking and her entire self bursting into dust and ashes.
I coughed and ran to Danielle and laid her head on my lap, holding her head gently. I asked her sobbing, " why?! Why did you stop?!", nuzzling into her neck. I could feel her tears gliding through my hands and palms. She was coughing and gasping, her chest rising up and down violently. " I...I had t..to. S..she w..was g..going to k..kill you. I..I saw it!" She said, coughing violently. Love had made we weak indeed. I could feel my tears rolling my cheeks. I looked down sadly at her. She was about to say something. I tried to shush her down but she did anyways. " I..I c.. couldn't l..let y..you die. I..I love you. P..promise." She lay there writhing in pain, blood soaking her dress. " Please don't leave me. Look, we will cure you. I won't let anything happen to you." I knew I was badly failing. I was so broken. I knew....I was losing her. And nothing could be done...
" Lemme carry you", I said crying uncontrollably, my voice breaking. " I..it w..won't work.", she struggled to speak.
She trailed her weak, flail and dying palms over my face and wiped off my tears smiling sadly. I was sobbing and crying uncontrollably when she handed me a parchment from her skirt pocket. She pulled me close to her face, kissing me for a last time till I felt her little body in my arms going cold and growing limp and losing her colour. Her beautiful smell gone... leaving the smell of death behind. I clutched and hugged her body tightly and screamed and cried out loudly. But all those who heard me were the mountains, trees and the moon and maybe the sky... They all looked at me silently as I screamed holding my dead lover within my arms....
