Chapter 8 - The witch queen

"Are you kidding me!" Simon shook his head in disbelief. He knows Zeke doesn't talk much but he did not notice this yesterday.

'Perhaps it's because of Teresa's beauty I don't notice he talking too much' he thought to herself as one corner of his lips pulled up into a smirk. 'indeed, she's pretty' 

Only for him to glance up and see Zeke glaring at him with fury in his eyes.

Ezekiel has the ability to read someone's thoughts and Simon is the only one that knows he has this ability.

"Common Zeke, it's just some stupid thought haha" he chuckled softly, averting his gaze and started moving with hands in his pocket. Zeke just watched him as he moved. He didn't bother saying anything to Simon while Simon tried not to think anything stupid.

"Did you see him? He's so cute" 

"Hahaha yeah I saw. Haha" two girls with pink ball gowns came out of the hall. As soon as they saw Zeke their mode changed. The both of them are pureblooded vampires as their bright red eyes look shiny under the sun. Simon heard voices from behind and immediately spun around to see beautiful pureblooded vampires. He walked up to them.

"Miladys, what are you doing under this sun? You're too pretty for that" he said and the both of them blushed. 

"We just came out for some fresh air, your highness," one of them replied with a red face, using her hands to cover it. 

"Oh but the sun is too high. Why don't you too follow me to my quarter? I'll treat you to a good wine" he offered. Simon always treated girls this way. To him girls are flowers. 

"Of course, haha"

Let's go then" Ezekiel just glanced at Simon and after that he leaped out of the palace at full speed.

Emma went to the forest in the omega black empire to pick up Luna while Teresa went to the mansion keeping watch with the members of the alpha mega.

After Emma arrived at the forest, she got down and started walking deeper into the forest. After the incident last night Lena, the leader of the Alpha mega empire made sure to tighten up security. She has put guards outside the forest so Emma needs to go by foot.

After she had walked for a while, she saw the omega black team all in the usual brown uniform with guns. She waved at them, letting them know that she was here to pick up the boss. They cleared the way and she went back and told the driver that the area is clear. Her driver drove in and after they were in front of the mansion, Emma got out and walked in finding Lena in the first hall there in the sitting room. She was looking through some maps.

"Lena" Emma greeted Lena and Lena just glanced up acknowledging her presence and continued with what she was doing. The omega members that were beside Lena just gave a little bow to Emma.

"Let me take you to her," a girl with a pure brown uniform said behind Emma.

"Okay" Emma replied shortly after following the girl upstairs.

They arrived at the third floor in the second room. The girl bowed and left. 

Knock! Knock!

Emma knocked and she heard a little voice from Luna telling her to come in.

She pushed the door open and saw Luna sitting down on the king-size bed and just staring at a particular space. She was now changed into a black long dress as she let her long black hair fall down to her waist and spread on the bed as well.

"Boss, it's already afternoon. We need to get going. With a solemn face, she looked up and said.

"Gather all the mafia bosses. We need to fix this" Luna doesn't know what to do at the moment. She was still young and seeing so many deaths? This was eating the life in her. 

"Okay boss" she exited the door. And a long tear rolled down Luna's cheeks. 

"Lord please give me strength" she muttered under her breath letting the tears land on the gray bed sheets.

After a while, she went downstairs and saw Teresa, Emma, Lena, and Rose.

Rose is the leader of the fire fighters empire and Teresa is the leader of the alpha mega empire.

Evan is the leader of the lion warriors but she is locked up in a dungeon by the original female lead. 

They were all sitted and Luna walked up to them.

"Boss, how are you feeling?" Rose asked and Luna just nodded.

She walked and sat on one of the arm chairs.

Silence reigned for a while before Luna spoke. "What happened last night must not happen again. We lost fifty of our men yesterday. Lena, I want you to take full responsibility" 

"Yes boss" Lena replied immediately.

"And all of you, make sure no one dies in your team. Take full responsibility! Any one in your team is in your hands. It's your duty to protect them"

" Yess boss" they all replied.

"We need to protect ourselves from this blood sucking creatures" she continued. The trio listened with full attention to what Luna was saying. 

"Rose, I also need you to double up security" she said and rose nodded.

"I know someone who might help us out," Rose said slowly.

"Who?" Luna asked and Rose struggled on her shoulders.

"She is a witch queen and am sure she'll help us with some spells and Teresa can also learn a few things from her" 

"That sounds good though. I'd love to learn some spells. I'm still trying to learn useful spells" Teresa said with excitement in her eyes. She has loved performing spells and making potions since she was a kid.

"Where can we find this witch?" Luna seems interested. She will do anything for her people.

"In the forbidden mountain" rose replied. 

"We need to go there by night. The witch queen usually makes potions at night, "Rose explained.

"So what's the time?" Luna asked, looking at Emma who was quietly sitting on a wooden chair.

"It's three pm boss" 

"So, Rose, you, me and Teresa will go," Luna said.

Soon evening arrived and the trio was now dressed in black cloak.

"We cannot take any guards. We need to go by ourselves, "Rose informed and everyone nodded.

"We need to go by foot. Boss, do you think you'll be okay?" Teresa asked. Her duty was to protect Luna.

"Of course. Let's go" and the trio exited the gate with a lantern which was the only light leading the way.
