Chapter 215 - Bite- Part 2
In the realm of the dead, Belle continued to run in the cold weather. Fog coming out of her breath as she huffed for air. She had tried to hide but to only realize that the corner she had taken shelter in was where another creature had been quietly waiting. The lantern lamps that were on either side of the streets burned in and out, bringing light to only diminish and bring it back again.
"You cannot escape me this time. This time me will not let you escape. Come back meal!"
"Why is the ability not working on that one?!" asked Belle frustrated. She didn't know for how long she would have to run, trying to keep herself safe and this was when she heard a voice of a girl that was as if speaking in the back of her mind.
'You will now understand how I felt when I was left here all alone while you slept without any worry.'
Belle tried to find the voice that just spoke, her eyes quickly looking around but there was no one in the front and nor in the back. When she looked up at one of the building, the same girl she had seen a while ago stood up there. Wind blowing across her dress and hair that was redder than her own.
"How does it feel being chased?" asked the girl, her eyes pitch black unlike hers that was red in colour. Even in this long-distance, strangely she could hear her clearly without her needing to shout, "You will know my pain now."
"I didn't do anything to you," Belle said but she had no time to be chitchatting with her other half soul.
"There's a soul! I will have her!"
"She is mine!"
"This one is going to be eaten by me!" came the voices from the other creatures and Belle headed towards the graveyard. She had tried to get back to her real world but it wasn't working. As time passed, she was growing nervous. Lucas had told that the graveyard was one of the portals that connected the living and dead.
Thankfully, she knew where the graveyard was located and she made her way towards it and with the increasing time, the creatures who were following her had turned hungrier than before with her soul wafting like a delicious meal for the dead to eat.
Finally reaching the graveyard, Belle started to look for the oldest grave that could help her send back to the land of the living.
"You run fast," said the deranged creature that had been following her since the time she had come here, "Don't go anywhere until me comes to catch you," as if the current crowd wasn't enough, Belle felt dread when she caught sight of a tall lean man who wore a hood and robes similar to what she had seen Lucas wore.
A Grim reaper...she gulped at the sight, before the Grim reaper could catch hold of her, Belle readied herself to leave.
At the same time, a black wolf-like creature with red blazing eyes bit into her leg.
"AHH! she screamed. She felt her body starting to drain out of energy because of the excruciating pain she felt. She could feel tears come out from her eyes because of the pain and the animal didn't let go of her leg but dug itself teeth deeper.
Gasping for air, Belle clapped her hands and touched the tombstone which was broken. In a blink of an eye, she had moved from the realm of the dead to the land of the living. Her body collapsed on the floor of her room.
Hearing the thud sound, Barron who was doing his rounds, walking freely while holding a full apple which he was yet to eat, made his way towards Belle's room,
"Looks like I am not the only one who drops things," chuckled Barron to himself and pushed the door open, "Belle y-AHHHH BLOOOODDD!" he screamed at the sight of the blood on the ground that was soaking the carpet.
One of the maids who heard the scream made her way towards the room of Miss Belle, sure that the demon had attacked the lady, after all, demons always hunted the living. Before she could get close to it, the rabbit jumped out of the room.
"Go get ice! Get the damn snow," he ordered and went back to the room and on seeing the blood, Barron asked, "What happened to you?!" coming to stand next to Belle's leg.
"I got bit," came the weak voice of Belle. She pulled her dress up to take a look at her bloody leg that was oozing out with red blood.
"What the fuck bit you?" asked Barron before he placed his hand on the wound in an effort to stop the bleeding before he finally realized his hands were made of cotton. By the time he had pulled his hand away from her leg, a quarter of his hands had turned red.
Lucas was outside the mansion and he quickly made his way to Belle's room to see her injured.
"Barron-"
"I DID NOT DO ANYTHING!" Barron tried to protect himself before there was any misunderstanding.
"Go get the green box that is in my room. Now," said Lucas, bending down to sit next to Belle, "Did you get bit by the hellhound?" he asked Belle who nodded her head, her eyes were closed, her head lulling back.
Barron quickly came back after the maid arrived in the room carrying ice in a vessel, "What happened to, Miss Belle?" asked the maid, her blood running cold with the amount of red she saw covering the floor.
"She's hurt," said Lucas, his voice calm and quiet as he started to work on her leg quickly. Belle was not a human to die over an injury like this but she was no pureblooded vampire to be able to sustain this much of blood loss, 'Go get a jug full of blood for her to drink," he instructed the maid who disappeared in a hurry.
