The Witch and the Vampire Prince
18 — Cayenne Family
The afternoon has arrived. The door to the lower room opened slowly. Merlin is awake. His head was wobbly, where he saw the vampires falling asleep.
"What was Louis planning, anyway?" merlin muttered a little annoyed. Slowly he walked up to the stairs and went to the bedroom.
But at the door, he heard the giggling laughter of Phyllis and Louis. The two were joking and sounded tickling each other. Phyllis is rarely like that. Perhaps the last time he laughed until after this time was eleven years ago.
Right, it's his birthday celebration. They had a small party for Phyllis' 5th birthday. But suddenly the villagers came up with torches, the majority of them young men. The women and children were evacuated to the village next door. They were afraid that the Cayenne witch family would go on a rampage and curse the entire village.
Their house is not far from the homes of other residents, but arguably the location is a little marginal and as if separated. This was because Cayenne's parents wanted to practice magic more freely. Perhaps the suspicions of the citizens who piled up finally made them reckless and assumed they were witches—although it was actually true.
Cayenne's mother warns her to immediately take Phyllis into the forest before the residents enter the house. But it felt impossible because they had already surrounded the small hut.
Merlin did not know for sure what they were talking about other than the cry of 'burn witch!'. Both of his parents were pulled out and placed in the yard. The father was beaten to a pulp. Both his hands were tied and his mouth was gagged with a wet cloth due to the oil. This is to prevent the witch from chanting the spell.
Merlin and Phyllis were frozen, placed some distance away from their parents. Cayenne's mother who was still free immediately made a protector to protect her two children so that they could not be touched by residents. The residents grew angry and tied Cayenne's mother's hands.
"Kill her mother so that her magic is gone!"
Some men held the woman, sitting her not far from her husband. The people were about to burn them. But really, what kind of demon possessed. When they wanted to splash Cayenne's mother's body with oil, they were silent. Stupefied.
Cayenne's mother is a beautiful woman. Every time I see it, there is at least some interest. An unusual face owned by humans. It's true that witches are also human, but Cayenne is like an angel.
Long brown mane with blue diamond tub netra, shiny. Tight lashes, sharp nose, red lips without cosmetic polish. Chins and cheeks tapered. The beautiful flower-covered neckline that Phyllis made this afternoon. His shoulders are small, but his body is full.
He seemed perfect as a human being.
"Hey! Be patient! It's not good to kill them. How about we torture?"
That grin and evil smile adorned their disgusting faces. The men with peaking passion immediately harassed the woman with two children. In front of her husband, they were very proud to do such ludicrous deeds.
Surely the head of the Cayenne family did not accept it. But he could do nothing but watch his wife being littered right in front of his eyes. Where he sees the dirty humans are happy on top of the fate of the witch's death.
"MERLIN! Run!!"
As expected, after the humans were satisfied, they flushed the body of the Cayenne woman and combined it with her husband. Can't do anything else, the important thing is that his two children don't die at the hands of these crazy humans.
The fire started. Small, small, and growing. The flames devoured the two bodies bound together in the courtyard of the house. Not to forget their residence was looted, important items or unique looks were immediately taken, the rest were left and then burned.
Happy cheers, triumphant. They celebrated the death of the Cayenne witch family with pride. Forget about Cayenne's services all this time in the village. Just because hearing rumors about Cayenne being a witch, they were immediately judgmental. So barbaric.
"Humans are, indeed" the voice blew away Merlin's daydream.
The door of the room opened and Louis stood there with a smile, welcoming his sister-in-law—certainly a younger age than him.
"Why—" wave, Merlin was a little embarrassed because of something he thought Louis could read. However, the vampire did not respond more. He gave Merlin a way in.
Merlin approached Phyllis who was sitting on the bed. Sweet paras, like their mother. It's like her mother's duplicate. Very, very pretty. With a smile that flourished, his grim face had been evicted by the presence of Louis. Should Merlin thank the vampire?
"Phy, you're so beautiful" praised Merlin as always. He could not bear to see the beauty of his sister. This is amazing. If their parents were still alive, they would be called brothers because they are very similar. It's just that Phyllis' body is tiny and not as heavy as her mother's.
Just a shy smile and blushing cheeks in Phyllis' answer. Merlin already knew his sister was shy, especially if anyone praised her appearance. If possible, Phyllis would rather be praised about her magic skills. But he will get both, because both are good and perfect.
The two then talked about light things. Louis himself went downstairs and woke up his guards. They've had enough sleep today.
"Wake up! You serve me not to sleep!" it was Louis's snapping that made them open their eyes and hurriedly lined up. Satisfying. Although they just woke up, but their reflexes are very good. The military exercises they had been able to during this time were very useful for a sudden attack like this.
Afterwards, Louis invited them to an afternoon sport. Today they haven't been able to help Phyllis. Aside from being sudden, Louis did not want to be as ruthless as he used to be when forming his special forces. He doesn't want to burden them anymore. After all, Phyllis is a smart girl. In a short time, Phyllis could already master some dangerous spells to endure.
Merlin and Phyllis went downstairs after a satisfied chat. Prepare dinner for them and the vampires. Merlin gives some recipes that he finds in the library about alternative foods for vampires.
In the middle of his sport, the vampires were struck by the scent of werewolves. Coming from the path to the countryside. They swiftly confronted his prince and the figure did not approach. Louis knew the smell.
"Good afternoon. I brought some cooking ingredients. Can I come in?" louve asked the bunch of vampires.
