THE DARK LORD’S WITCH

Chapter 8:Joel Was My Bestfriend

"It all started when i was fifty years old,the rule against human vampires was still in use.” Aiden

sighed”Dad used to say that humans are weak and useless and so he hated them,he warned me

several times against loving an human vampire but my best friend was human and he was

aware.Addison do you remember Joel?"

"Yes,you used to Call him your twin,that boy once kept a dead lizard in my room,but i also remember

him disappearing and you ignoring me everytime i asked after him"

"Yes he was quite naughty," Aiden laughed bitterly."there were no divisions before,everyone lived

together. We had humans in all empires but they had to have the markings of the king to be protected

from vampires feeding on them .Dad told me grandpa was killed by humans,they took him to ugland

and used a chain on him to stop him from escaping.He was burnt to ashes. Dad hates humans

because of this and even though I tried to make him understand that everyone was not the same,he

didn’t change his view about humans.”

"What's ugland?" Ava asked.

"Ugland is where the sun burns the most" Aleister replied. Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Joel had the marking of my grandfather but after he died my dad made a new rule in order to get rid of

humans in the town.The former markings would no longer be used and any human who wanted a

marking from dad must be able to pass a test that was most likely to kill them,every human that tried

the test died. So it was either death through the test or death by a vampire feeding from them,The

humans and human vampires were left without markings,it was horrible because vampires could now

feed on them without their permissions.

"Go on my boy," Aleister said putting his hand on Aiden's shoulder.

"I told dad times without number to stop what he was doing ,but he said i was a child and he was older.

Humans were sent out of the northern empires ,but that didn't stop me and Joel from being friends, he

always came visiting every Friday night and so one friday night when we were going back to his place

we were attacked by a vampire who bit Joel. He was so fragile,i couldn't,i just couldn't let him die so i

turned him into a vampire," Aiden said almost losing his voice.

"Hey,it’s alright,I am right here okay?" Ava said to her husband feeling every pain he was feeling.

"I took him back to the royal house to get an approval from dad but he turned me down and told me he

only allowed Joel in the royal house because his father was still alive and he didn't want to go against

him.Dad said Joel had to go through the test like every other human,i knew Joel was going to die so i

asked other members of the house that were above hundred years to help me plead with dad.That was

the rule but they also turned me down. I was little and immature,i didn't know what to do so i decided to

take him to his place to find another solution but unfortunately for us he got bitten again by two pure

blood vampires on our way. He was transformed into a monster right before my eyes and there was

nothing i could do,i saw anger and disgust in his eyes before he flew away.He was turned into a

feral!"
