Tara was tired, it was already midnight and she needed to sleep but she didn't want to say it. instead she was dosing a lot in the carriage.
" it's okay you can sleep," Xavier spoke calmly and Tara was now embarrassed because the guy saw her dosing off like a drunk cow
" okay," she just accepted the embarrassment and closed her eyes while laying down on the soft seat in the carriage, after she laid down Xavier had pulled up the barriers which would prevent her from falling down and even covered her with a blanket. Tara was surprised but she was grateful for the kindness he showed.
" thank you " she thanked him and went back to sleep
« this man is so considerate and handsome,… Ah go to sleep stop thinking of him »
Tara went to sleep and the journey went on, in the middle of the journey the carriage suddenly stopped and Tara woke up . The handsome prince had a distressed expression on his face,
" What's happening? Why have we stopped suddenly? Or we have arrived already? " Tara questioned
" Stay inside, it seems like we've been attacked " Xavier replied sternly before getting out
" what! Attacked ! " Tara exclaimed and got out too to see what's happening, who attacked them?
Opening the door she got out and saw masked men in black outfits holding swords surrounding them, this is bad she thought to herself.
" What are you doing outside? Go back and stay inside " Xavier told her
Tara looked at him and remembered she saw a sword inside the carriage, she went inside. Xavier thought the girl had accepted and went to hide inside only a few minutes later she came outside with her dress lifted up and she was carrying a sword. Everyone was shocked at the scene even the attackers had to stop due to the shock of what they were seeing.
" what are you doing? I said go inside Princess " Xavier looked at her with worry as he ordered her
" Uh no way, we're surrounded and in danger. I'm not going to be a damsel in distress waiting for a prince in shining armour to come and save me, I'm going to protect myself too " she protested back the idea of hiding in the carriage. As she held the sword well, she told herself she will use her knowledge of fencing and fight because she won't sit back and watch.
" Do you even know how to fight? Or you do want to be a burden " Xavier asked her
" I can fight don't worry, I won't be a burden. Anyway are those attackers vampires like you, I mean those attackers " Tara asked so she can be sure
" nope humans,… look out " Xavier replied and he spotted an arrow which came towards her and he used his sword to cut it
" What the hell you crazy scumbags! Choose one weapon a sword or an arrow! " Tara was so angry that she nearly died again without accomplishing her dream and she shouted at the attackers loudly, making everyone there shocked.
Then the fight started, they fought and fought. Tara tried her best to fight, she was skilled in fencing and so using a sword was easy. Because sometimes her father used to train her with a sword so she can be better, she remembered having many cut scars which she got from the man whenever she trained with him. So she was very confident in herself, Xavier was surprised after seeing her fight so well.
« God forgive me but I have to hurt or maybe even kill the people, they attacked me first » Tara asked for forgiveness before she cut one of the attacker's hand and stabbed his leg
The fight was intense and before long one of the attacker had tried to grab Tara and he mistakenly touched the pendant. The pendant lit up and Tara's eyes changed to purple and dark smoke came out of her hands and went to the attacker, the attacker was suffocated to death. Tara was not herself, her eyes were purple and her aura was dangerous. Her dark smokes went to each attacker and she suffocated all of them, the vampires were left shocked. They all watched her kill the attackers with just the smoke from her hand and how her green eyes were now purple, she looked like the goddess of death . After all the attackers were dead, her eyes turned green and she fell down unconscious
" Princess! " Xavier rushed towards her and took her on his arm as he rushed to the carriage
" Jack clean this mess, everyone gets back in the carriage we'll continue the journey to our kingdom. " Xavier ordered
" Her highness, what about her? Is she sick, shouldn't we see the doctor " Damian questioned
" She's fine, we need to reach home soon before we get another attack " Xavier spoke again and went inside. Everyone did as they were told and the journey continued, inside Xavier put her to rest and watched her attentively.
« Who's she? And her power that's demonic power, but she's human! I will ask her when she wakes up,» Xavier thought to himself while he looked at her, then he noticed the purple pendant « this is what her eyes looked like, what's this? » he asked himself but he didn't touch it, he let her rest.
Tara woke up again on a soft bed, ah where's she? What happened? Did she sleep until when they reached Vampiria. How embarrassing, she thought. She sat and was shocked when she saw Xavier sitting on a chair looking at her
" aaah! Hey ! What the hell, you scared me " Tara complained after screaming
" How are you feeling? " Xavier ignored her complaint and asked her
" umh, fine. What happened? Didn't I wake up after sleeping in the carriage? Is this Vampiria or not ? " Tara questioned the guy
" Yes we're already in Vampiria, you're in my palace and in our room. So you don't remember anything? " Xavier explained and asked her
" AHH.. remember what? You said I should sleep and that's all right, did anything happen?" Tara tried to remember but nothing came after he told her to sleep.
