Vampire King Apollyon

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

"Freeze, Apollyon, Freeze." Lilith had quickly ensnared him with Archdemon Magic, and he snarled at her in frustration.

Now, he was the one who couldn't move!

"This is bad. I'm running out of here." Lilith muttered breathlessly as she shoved him back to the makeshift bed and scrambled on her knees to stand over him.

Her green eyes glimmered as the clouds revealed the crescent moon shining platinum gold amid the starlit heavens.

"Wait. Wife." Apollyon gritted out as he forced himself to get up, but he couldn't. "Come back to me. Don't go." It might be Lilith who held the reins of Luna's body, but these words were intended for his beloved. He hoped that Luna can still hear him even in her subconscious.? ? "I'm afraid we wouldn't see each other again."

She slowly stepped backwards away as she faced him.

Apollyon's eyes tracked his movements.

It seemed like she was going to the east side of the forest, and she was headed to the highest summit in the mountain—the highest, most dangerous cliff.

It was a literal dead-end.

"You shouldn't have found out my secret in the first place, Apollyon. That way, I wouldn't have to go." Her voice rose in volume the farther she got.? "There is no point in staying with you when you can tell the difference between us in an instant."

His neck and muscles tensed as he bellowed, "Lilith. You admitted that there is no point in staying yourself. Then, leave my wife's physical body at your own will!"

"You told me that I don't know how to act but you don't know how to pretend either." Lilith said cryptically, and Apollyon scowled at her.

What did she mean by this?

Did Lilith want him to pretend that everything was alright? That as a husband, he didn't have the right to make sure if he had the right woman—his beloved—by his side and not some insane impostor who only knew how to bring chaos in their midst?

His hands locked into fists as he narrowed his eyes at her.

What did she take him for?

An idiot?

The Archdemon of Envy blew him a flying kiss.

"Goodbye." Then, she turned his back on him, "Catch me if you can, Apollyon."

The last thing he saw was her silver hair floating in the breeze, which turned the branches into dancing silhouettes before she escaped from like a thief in the night.

"Goddamn it!" Apollyon cursed as he tried to shift his body from side to side, but he couldn't break free from Lilith's Archdemon Magic.

He didn't expect Lilith to dupe him like this and vanish, bringing his wife and his daughter with him.

He took a pained breath and closed his eyes.

The bed of grass behind his bareback was supposed to be warm and soft as it served as a green cushion for lovemaking, but this unfortunate event with Lilith and his beloved left a bad taste in his mouth.

Now, each tiny green blade prickled the length of his broad back instead of tickling him.

The gentle winds ruffled Apollyon's dark hair calmed him a little.

"Brother." Princess Sapphire appeared from the thickets as Xerxes trailed behind her.

He knew the exact moment his sister had caught sight of him lying on his back when she paused in shock, mid-stride.

Concern etched in her features as she ran towards his side and dropped to her knees to check for injuries.

He didn't deserve a caring sister like Princess Sapphire after putting her to sleep in just a snap of a finger.

Apollyon winced when the Summer Princess clutched his hand and raised it.

It didn't hurt, but he just felt numb.

When will his strength return?

He stayed still and remained quiet.

One thing was for sure.

Lilith will release him once she was far enough from their group, and he could not allow that.

"Where are the half of your clothes, brother?"

Apollyon refused to answer the question but said, "You are awake."

Princess Sapphire glanced around the surroundings and stared at him afterwards, "Where is the Empress? She isn't with you?"

"Help me find her, Sapphire. Xerxes." Apollyon told them with an emotionally charged voice. "We need all the people we can get."

She tilted her head to the side.

Xerxes hovered above him and asked, "What's wrong with the Empress, Vampire King?"

"She ran away. I had to bring her back to me."? As he informed them, Apollyon was able to move one finger, and it strengthened his resolve.

Lilith's power was getting weaker by the minute.

Apollyon asked, "What happened at the rock shelter?"

"I woke up from the sound of the explosion that I thought the Summer Militia had come back to attack us." Princess Sapphire replied.

"—and the Archdemons?"

"The Archdemons slept with us on? the makeshift beds and everything was alright since didn't try to attack and harm us in some way. But for some reason, they just woke up out of nowhere and chose violence. They didn't say anything at first and just blasted the mouth of the cave." Xerxes said. "We didn't know why they were acting strange and Princess Sapphire gained the courage? to ask them, Ravin replied that we need to get out of the rock shelter because they couldn't. I don't understand what he meant at first but he threatened to kill us if we didn't do as we say. Now, we are here."

Her teeth sank unto her bottom lip as her gaze darted around them, looking for any signs of trouble, "Did something happen to Empress Luna? Was she hurt?"

"Ask questions, later. Please." Apollyon replied briskly.

He was relieved that he can finally lift his arms by himself.

Princess Sapphire's? brown eyes widened as if that was the first time she heard the Vampire King say? the word 'please.'

The Summer Princess nodded in understanding.

"I will help you, brother." She stood up in a strong posture and said, "Xerxes. Shift into your werewolf form." Then, she commanded, "We will hunt the Empress Luna down."
