Chapter 4 - 17years ago

17years ago king Callum has went to sort out some problem involving the transportation of their goods to the kingdom of the elf. The waters has been, having extremely high waves like a storm was going to happen but it was still summer and the sun was shining brightly.

They knew anything involving the ocean concerns the water vampires but no one could go down there to see what was going on, cause the kingdom were very deep, they could hold their breath more longer than the human but it will only take them half way.

king Callum arrived at the port two weeks after receiving the letters from the merchant. He went straight to the tent prepared for the official

"greetings your Majesty" the official at the port stood up immediately and greeted with their heads bow down

He nodded slightly and sat down in sit prepared for him

" begin" he said

" your Majesty" one of the captain named jack started " the waves irregular falling and rising has prevented the transportation of goods across the sea"

" we have tried bigger ships but the ocean is behaving like it is having a storm when we are still in summer" another captain added

king Callum knew fir something like this to happen it will be no other than the water vampires. But what could be happening for over weeks now.

" There is no way we can control the waters except we have a water vampires which is almost impossible, so untill the stormy waves die down we wait " he said standing up and walked out of the tent living the trouble captains with an unsatisfied expression.

There was nothing he could do, so he took a stroll around the shore while thinking.

He then began to hear strange sound, he paused and concentrate to hear what sound it was and was shocked to hear the cry of a baby

He trace the sound to one of the water cave and saw not only a child but a woman and by the looks of it she was quite young he walked closer and saw she was in a terrible state and bleeding from her feet looking like she was dieing he moved closer in order to help her

" what happened to you " he asked helping her sit up with the baby in her hands

she looked at him with her deep blue eye just like the ocean and her brown hair was very long almost to her feet, she was beautiful

" please help me " he heard her speak

" what happened, who did this to you" he asked

she push the baby into his arms " hide her and bring her back here when the night has it full moon"

" but ....."

"please" she cut him off " I can't stay here for long , they are coming" she added

" who " he asked, he just met the lady and in less than three minutes she was already giving him a baby

" come back here on the night when the night is full " she said again standing up and walking towards the sea " I will explain then " she looked at him with pleading eyes as if begging him to keep the baby safe before jumping into the ocean .

I just remained there with a child in his arms, what was he going to do. He stood up walking back to the camp but promised himself to come hear because he could not explain it but he felt drawn to that woman

*********************

*knock*knock*

there was a knock on the door pulling him out of his thoughts, and sat upright and gave permission for the person to enter

The person walked in and it was no other than his first wife Mirada, walking towards him with a bright smile he won't lie, he knew she was a beautiful woman, with her platinum blonde hair that was braided to fit the crown properly and looked just the same as he has always known her .

"your Majesty" she bowed and sat down on the chair facing him "I would like to know if this date of the wedding has been set, so I can start preparation early" she was smiling and looking at him happily

she paused waiting for the king response but when she got non she spoke again

"your Majes...."

"the king choose Madeline" he cut her and spoke in a rather calm tone and saw as disappointment watch all over her

"what" she spoke with her voice raised "but you said he was going to marry Amanda, what changed? "

"the king made his choice and threaten to redraw his alliance if I do not agree "

"but ...what of.... how will Amanda feel, you already promised her that ...

"I tried but he still refused"cutting her short with a reply that show that he did not wish to continue this discussion, and she got the message.

"then I will let Amanda know that her father the king has once again favoured his second daughter" she said and he understood the meaning of her words but he did not say anything.

she walked out of his study slightly slamming the door more than necessary.
