SCARLETT (Kiss From The Darkness)
Chapter 30

Victor grinned widely and showed us his fangs. Me and Roland stood tight at our place. How could he possibly enter my house? Ah yes, he must have turned into smoke and entered through the gap that was in the door. Goddamn bum. I cursed in my heart.

"What did you come here for?" I asked in a cold tone.

"Of course to meet my dear nephew" he said with a sickening grin.

"I wouldn't be your niece!" I said it with disgust.

I felt Roland standing closer to me as if he wanted to protect me.

"It looks like you're in love with a human." Ejek Victor while grunting.

"It's none of your business!" I replied with a cruel tone.

"Your parents must be disappointed to see that you are now such a weak creature." He said it while stepping closer towards me.

"Stop talking about them!" I said with a fiery tone.

I felt my emotions getting high.

"You know? You never deserve to be princess!" Victor mocked me again.

I clenched my hands beside my body. I really hate it with all my soul. I want to avenge my parents for him. My mind was filled with shadows about my father and my mother.

Victor stepped forward and drew closer to me. I don't feel any fear at all for him. Instead, my emotions are increasing.

"What did you come here for?" I repeated my question again.

He raised his eyebrows towards me and seemed to think. His black robe slightly fluttered in the wind.

"You know? I was close to leading the kingdom, but you blocked it. I should have killed you that night!" Victor spoke it with a hateful tone.

"I never get in your way!" I almost screamed.

Victor sighed and fell silent in his place. His gaze pensively recalled the events of several thousand years ago.

"I have ruled the kingdom, but everyone is against me! They'd rather die with your father and they'd look at me hatefully as if I were a monster!" he said with a trembling voice.

"You are a monster!" This time I screamed at him.

"Don't forget that you're the same creature as me!" He said it with a slanted smile on his face.

"I'm not like you!" I glared at him hatefully.

I don't want to be like him!

Victor laughed at my words.

"Don't forget, we were formed by the same witch" he said.

"I'm not like you" I said, pointing straight at his face.

"I never should have let you run!" This time he said it while lunging towards me.

I avoided his attack. I jumped to the side and pulled his arm as I threw my kick towards his stomach. Victor grimaced a little bit for an attack from me.

This time it stared intently at me and again stormed me, but Roland shot towards it and hit the left side of his stomach. Victor glared at him.

"You're no match for me, son!" he said as he rushed towards Roland with a fast lunge.

I ran back to Victor and lunged at him. This time he staggered back as a result of my lunge. He looked at me with a look of wrath.

It moved towards me with a lightning-fast attack. I tried to avoid his attack but he grabbed my neck and choked me. He lifted me up until my feet didn't touch the floor.

I tried to release his hand grip on my neck but he was too strong. I feel out of breath.

I heard a gunshot when Roland shot him right at Victor's back, but it didn't seem like it meant much to Victor, he still clutched his hand around my neck.

I'm almost out of breath. Victor glared at me hatefully.

"You will die today in my hands. But before that, you'll see your human girlfriend burn to death alive in front of you!" he said with hate.

Hearing Victor's words, my heart almost jumped out.

I saw Victor directing his free hand towards Roland and heard a puff".

Instantly Roland's clothes let out smoke and Roland panicked as he flicked his hands to remove the smoke from his clothes.

Seeing that, my emotions peaked. I clenched my hands trembling with emotion as if burning my soul. I focused my mind on creating fire. My feet are still floating on the floor. But this time I no longer felt the pain of Victor's grip on my neck.

I looked at Victor with hatred. This time the shadow of my father and mother flashed in my mind as if it was making my strength increase.

Suddenly I felt as if a stream of fire was running through my arm towards my hand. I raised my hand and looked at the flames that appeared in my palm. But strangely I did not feel the heat in my hands.

I put my hand on Victor's hand, which grabbed me by the neck. I burned Victor's hand with fire coming from my hand. Victor stared at his burning hand. Instantly he let go of his grip on my neck and he forgot Roland.

Victor shook his fire-burning hand. He stared in disbelief at me while holding his injured wrist. I stood straight with a firm and bold look towards him.

"I am the Goddess" I said coldly to her.

He still couldn't believe staring in turns at me then at his injured hand.

"How can you possibly create fire?" he said he couldn't believe it.

"You and I were created by the same people, remember?" I smiled cynically at him.

Victor hissed and lunged at me at high speed. We both rolled to the floor and attacked each other. I managed to punch him but he instantly countered my attack and his fist hit my face.

We continued to roll while we were attacking. Roland pulled Victor's shoulder and punched him. It seemed to make Victor even more angry until he let me go.

Victor pointed at Roland and beat him until Roland slammed into the wall with a loud bang. I jumped up to Victor to avenge him.

I caught Victor and this time I strangled him. I pushed him until he hit the wall while continuing to strangle his neck.

"Don't play games with me." I threatened him with hissing.

"You're nothing!" Victor replied to my words in disgust.

"I'm the Goddess of Darkness!" I glared and still strangled him until he was out of breath.

"You can't beat me!" Victor said it while trying to make a mock smile.

"I will avenge my parents!" I grabbed his head and was about to break his neck when suddenly my bedroom door seemed to burst in and from there came a group of ferocious vampires who rushed into the room to attack me and Roland.

I couldn't believe what I saw.
