She Belongs To The Devil

Even though the war was already over and the vampires had already surrendered, Nigel was still unable to shake off the trauma that he went through upon almost seeing his brother taking his last breath. He wanted his brothers out of the warring zone as fast as possible.

So Nigel asked Theodore, "Theodore, will you take Wulfric and Fenris back to Aberdeen?"

Wulfric questioningly looked at Nigel. The war was already over and they needed more hands to take care of the wounded werewolves. However, after almost dying just a moment ago, he didn't dare to protest against Nigel.

"Sure." Theodore furrowed his brows when he got to know that not just Wulfric but Fenris was also there on the battlefield.

He was curious to know why the two of them were there in the first place but there were some other things that were far more important than that.

"But let's take care of the remaining vampires first. I don't trust them to simply surrender and stay put." Theodore was glaring at the vampires who were being held down by a werewolf each.

Though they were staying down at the moment and were not trying to revolt at all, Theodore could clearly see their desire for revenge that was emanating from them. And needless to say, the aurae were pretty strong.

To make sure that the vampires would not cause a scene too soon, Theodore spread out his arms and closed his eyes. He took a deep breath in and with it, he let his body absorb all that sweet aurae that were lingering around on the battlefield.

The angry faces of most of the vampires softened to some extent. They finally let their stiff body get loose and dropped their guard against the werewolves.

"This should buy us some time," Theodore thought to himself and walked closer to Nigel and Wulfric.

Wulfric got up on his feet. However, Nigel was having great difficulty even standing up. He was slowly healing but he needed some time for all of his wounds to close completely and also to recuperate his stamina.

Theodore took out a pill and offered it to Nigel. "Here. You look like you could use this."

However, Nigel shook his head and denied it. "There are others who need that pill more than I do."

Without saying a word, Theodore narrowed his eyes and leaned closer to Nigel.

Nigel could tell what he was going to do so he pressed his lips together and turned his head away.

But Theodore pinched Nigel's cheeks and forcefully shoved that pill in his mouth. He then elegantly stood up and folded his arms as though he didn't just do that.

"Theodore! Why would you do that?" Nigel couldn't believe that Theodore force-fed him that pill.

Wulfric awkwardly turned away from the two of them and said before running off, "Um… I will go and help the others." If those two strongest men were going to fight then he wanted to get as far away from them as possible.

Nigel could feel the effect of the pill really fast. He could literally hear his wounds healing. And he could also feel the burst of energy running through his body.

Theodore pointed his finger around the battleground and replied to Nigel, "Can you see all the people that are depending on you and waiting for your further instructions? Do you think it is right to keep them waiting when all of them are exhausted from the battle?

You need to wrap up everything here faster so that all of you can rest and heal. And I don't think you would have been efficient when you were not even able to stand properly."

Nigel couldn't agree more with what Theodore was saying.

As he could no longer feel the pain in his body, he didn't want to waste any more of his precious time. He got up while praising the wondrous pill, "I feel like I can have another round of the fight. Thank you, Theodore."

Theodore gave a nod and asked while pointing his brows at the vampires who had already been lined up in one corner of the battleground, "So, what's your plan for them?"

Nigel already had an answer to Theodore's question, "If we let them go now then they might run off to regroup with their main party. We don't want them warning the others about the werewolves and the witches and spoil the surprise attack that we have planned for them as well."

Theodore then spoke as if he had read Nigel's mind, "But we cannot keep them here as well. For one, they are using up our already scarce manpower because we have to keep an eye on them. And another, as far as I know about vampires, they will act like animals when they start to get hungry. They can do anything for blood."

Nigel didn't want things to come down to what he was about to suggest. But he knew that it was the necessary evil to keep his own kind safe.

With a heavy heart, he disclosed his plan, "I think we should offer them the chance to take their own lives. If they try to retaliate then…"

Even after saying that, Nigel was still showing reluctance. Yes, they were the enemies but he couldn't help but feel as if he was a ruthless murderer.

He had obviously not killed anyone before today. But just a while ago he had already bitten someone's head off and was now going to order a massacre. That was just too much for him to process.

Theodore could tell how Nigel was feeling without Nigel opening his mouth.

So he gave a gentle nudge to Nigel and honestly said, "Nigel, I know it's crushing your heart right now. And I can tell you now that this decision of yours will keep on haunting you. It will leave a nasty scar on your heart. But remember how Wulfric was about to die just a while ago."

Theodore gave off an intense aura while saying, "This is the battle for survival. If you don't kill them now then they will kill you later. And that later might arrive as soon as today. I'm sure you don't want that."

Theodore didn't need to speak any further. Nigel was already moving towards where the vampires were being held.

"Until then, let me check around the perimeter. Some vampires could have escaped." Theodore mumbled to himself and flapped out his wings.

Almost all of the eyes were on the Devil in black who started to fly high in the sky as if he was a huge bird.

The presence of the Devil shook the hearts of those remaining vampires. They had heard how he had killed their Princess and they were terrified for their fate ahead.

And when Nigel offered them the option to the vampires to take their own lives, they agreed instantly.

They didn't want that Devil to kill them in the most gruesome and most painful way possible. They would rather choose a more honorable death.

Nigel allowed them some time so that they could remember their loved ones for the last time.

One of the vampires turned to his side and said to the vampire who was next to him, "Henry, I enjoyed your company greatly. I don't know if there is a next life. But if there is then I wish we both will be born as humans."

The other vampire gave a wistful smile and nodded, "I would love to have some normal food and lead a peaceful life..."

After a while, all of the vampires were ordered to kneel down.

One of the vampires took the initiative to lead the mass suicide. "Are all of you ready?"

"Ready," everyone said simultaneously. They were all ready to burst their own chests open and crush their hearts.

The leading vampire showed no fear or remorse on his face when he spoke his last sentences, "Okay. On my count. Three… two… one…"
