Fifteen minutes later.
The feeding of fresh blood to the vampire's couple's son finally ended.
The female servant rubbed an ointnt on the cut of Laura's hand and wrapped clean clothe on it to stop it from bleeding.
Everyone was looking at the man lying in the coffin, looking for any signs of him coming back to life.
Another agonizing fifteen minutes passed.
Nothing happens...
Zalvo and Sylvia looked worriedly between Laura and their son.
The vampire couple stared at each other... their eyes were communicating actively... they don't want to entertain the nagging suspicion arising in their minds. They tried to extend their hopes and push their suspicion away.
Rebecca saw the worries on the faces of the vampire couple, she already knows that sothing is wrong... and she already knows the outco if her blood failed to resurrect the king, she will die.
Half an hour later, still, nothing happened, the king was not resurrected by Laura's blood!
The vampire couple's eyes shone with fury.
"Everyone... leave the chamber!" Zalvo barked his order.
The vampires exited the room and waited outside for further command.
Outside the chamber, the party is in full swing.
Back inside the chamber.
The vampire couple stared intensely at Laura, seething with anger.
"Who are you!?" Sylvia spoke in an outraged voice.
Rebecca didn't answer and avoided the vampire woman's gaze.
"Answer ! You are not Laura! You are an impostor!" Sylvia's eyes were blazing with fury. Damn! She felt betrayed again!
Zalvo looked at his wife. "No need to waste your ti on her! She won't answer. She will hide the truth with her to death!" he said. "Ti to throw her to the raging fire that will burn her alive! Let her feel the pain of being burned alive!" he said without an ounce of rcy in his eyes.
Rebecca closed her eyes waiting for the painful death to devour her.
Zalvo went to the door and opened it. He addressed the n. "Bring this impostor into the furnace and throw her alive!" he commanded.
The n in cape entered the chamber and carried the fake Laura's coffin into another secret door leading to the area where the burning furnace was located.
Rebecca's body was trembling with fear inside the gold-plated coffin. She still can't move her whole body and worst the golden necklace was still attached to her neck suppressing her power.
It's so depressing, she was like a duck about to be thrown and roasted into the furnace. She doesn't want to die alone in the enemy's camp, she wants to die with at least one friend beside her. Being thrown into flas alive is an awful way to die!
It will be so painful!
Her body trembled with fear just thinking about it.
She felt so powerless, pathetic, and helpless.
She's not ready to die yet!
Fresh tears erged in her eyes, she sobbed while being carried away into the furnace.
The n carrying the coffin entered the room which is already blazing hot. A ten ters wide furnace can be seen in the corner.
They placed the coffin into the ground.
'Goodbye, Graven, Laura, Horace, Luke... Grandma nedelia...' Rebecca murmured and shut her eyes bracing for the unbearable pain that she's going to feel the mont the flas start devouring her whole body.
The n lifted Rebecca's body and without further ado... they throw her into the furnace that is blazing with flas.
The n in cape left the room taking the coffin with them.
anwhile, back in the chamber, Sylvia looked at her son lying in his coffin. "It looks like you are not going to be resurrected tonight, my son. I'm so sorry, we got the wrong woman, she is not Laura!" she said sadly "But rest assured that we will get the real Laura as soon as possible and repeat the Awakening Ceremony," she said.
Zalvo spoke to his wife. "Let's go outside and addressed the guests, they are waiting for the news. Even if it's bad news we have to be honest with them and tell them the whole truth," he said.
"Wait for a second... I'm not ready yet to face the crowd! It's shaful!" Sylvia said indignantly, her face reddened with anger and sha.
"Let's go now and face the crowd," Zalvo urged his wife.
"But this is humiliating to our clan! I can't accept it!" Sylvia said vehently, she began pacing the floor back and forth.
"It's okay, don't be hard on yourself. Mistakes can happen anyti," he consoled her. "Next ti, we will make sure that it's gonna be the real Laura that we are bringing here for the Awakening Ceremony!" he concluded.
"Okay," Sylvia agreed.
The couple exited the chamber and went to the podium.
Zalvo watched the guests dancing provocatively with the background music, having a good ti.
"May I have your attention, everyone!" Zalvo said aloud.
The music suddenly stopped and the crowd looked at Zalvo.
"Listen, everyone... I have a piece of bad news to tell you tonight. The awakening Ceremony didn't succeed because we got the wrong bride. The bride is an impostor! She is the wrong one! The real Queen is still outside. We apologized for the mistake. We will locate the real Queen soon and repeat the Awakening Ceremony," he announced loudly.
The crowd gasped in shock and murmured in disappointnt.
The bad news was greeted with skepticism by the crowd.
"To compensate for your disappointnt and wasted ti, we have a present for you... hope you like it!" Zalvo said. He looked at his n standing nearby and nods his head as a signal.
The n in cape opened the five doors and blindfolded young won were being guided into the center of the room. The won were already squirming in fear.
The young virgins were slaves bought by the vampire couple from the slave market just for this occasion to entertain and rewards the guests who ca from far-flung towns just to witness this montous occasion which turned out to be an epic failure.
The guests' eyes widened in pleasure and excitent. They got fresh food tonight and the best thing is... they are young virgins! Fresh blood and fresh flesh to enjoy as much as they want.
"My beloved guests... these young virgins are for your entertainnt... you can do whatever you like to do with them! Consider this as our gift and our ways of apologizing for tonight's blunder. I hope next ti when I invited you again for the Awakening Ceremony, you will co again to witness it. And I'll make sure that there will be no mistake next ti. My apologies again, Ladies and Gentlen!" Zalvo said solemnly.
He paused for a mont to catch his breath.
"Where is that impostor woman who disguised as the Queen? Give her to us so that we can have fun with her and shred her to pieces as her punishnt for deceiving us!" one of the vampires demanded.
Zalvo smiled. "No need. She's already taken care of, I instructed my n to throw her body into the hot furnace as her punishnt and she's already dead by now," he answered.
Several vampires were groaning in disappointnt.
Zalvo raised a brow. "Why bothered with the dead when we have live virgin won to entertain and satisfy our cravings... right?" he said.
"Yeah... we love the virgin won!" The crowd murmured excitedly.
And one more thing, since we have limited supply, don't be greedy... share the fresh blood to your brother and sisters, don't forget that sharing is caring... and don't turn them in just like us! Just drink their fresh blood and enjoy the marvelous experience to your heart's content! Rember don't turn them in!" Zalvo repeated, grinning while watching the exciting expression of the guests' faces.
Sylvia watched the disappointed faces of the guests lighted up instantly after hearing their leader ntioned the young virgins again.
The guests salivated as their sharp fangs erged from their mouths, they looked at the young won hungrily and then lurched at them.
A few minutes later, the whole area was filled with the deafening scream by the virgin won as the hungry vampires chased after them... sucking their blood dry.
The vampire couple watched the carnage taking place in front of them with amusent gleaming in their eyes.
A few minutes later.
The couple walked towards the chamber where the coffin of their son was waiting to bring him back ho.
Zalvo commanded the leader of the n. "Release more virgins! And get ready... we will take our leave soon!" he said.
"Yes, my lord!" the leader replied. He went to the other closed-door rooms and released more virgin won to the hungry vampires.
The scene of terrified screaming won, running for their lives, can be seen all over the room as the hungry vampires chased the terrified won all over the place.
Several won were already lying on the ground dead 'coz their blood was drained from their bodies.
It was a tragic and grueso sight to see.
The whole chamber slled death.
The vampires who already got their fill of fresh blood were relaxing in the corner, watching the ongoing rampage with amusent twinkling in their eyes.
Two hours later.
The vampire couple was already standing outside the old manor looking at the carriage in front of them.
Zalvo addressed the leader of the n in a black cape. "Throw the dead won's bodies in the furnace and clean the whole area, then make sure the guest are well taken care of. Those who want to go ho, let them leave, and for those who want to stay for a few days, served them well," he commanded.
"Yes, my lord!" the leader replied and went back to the old mansion.
A few minutes later, a coffin was loaded into the carriage outside the old manor and the vampire couple entered the carriage as well.
Fifteen minutes later, the vampire couple's entourage was already moving out of the manor's rusted iron gate, leaving the ghastly carnage behind them.
