❤️ Plan B ❤️
Vampire Kingdom:
Jold wasn’t expecting his august visitors when his room door was forcefully kicked open. It was a miracle the door didn’t break pieces.
His eyes widened when he saw who was with Dark and he stood up from his bed as a lightning bolt.
“Adalinda,” he was shocked to his bones.
“The one and only.” Adalinda said as she spread both hands. “In flesh and blood.” she added and brought down her arms.
“B-ut but I thought you were dead. I mean you were dead and Dark buried you and the dragon kingdom after he was done with his killings.” Jold said as he went to meet her and touched her body to be very sure she was the one even though he already knows she was real though her scent. He pulled her for a hug, smiling, as he didn’t say a word when he saw her damaged one eye.
“Do not believe everything you see Jold,” Adalinda said, hugging him back for a while before letting go of him. “How have you been Jold and how is your wife? I haven’t seen her.” She asked.
The smile on his face faded away and his face gave a sad expression.
“She is dead, she died when she gave birth to my son.” Jold answered.
“I’m sorry Jold, I didn’t know she was dead I wouldn’t have brought it up.” Adalinda apologized which surprised Dark a little.
“It’s okay.” Jold said trying to cheer up but was failing woefully.
“Where is your son then, can I meet him? Is he as handsome as you are?” Adalinda asked with the hopes that with that question Jold wouldn’t feel sad of her bringing up his dead wife.
“My son is now the King and he has now walked the wrong path.” Jold answered which confused Adalinda.
“He is on your sister’s side now, he’s on the dark side.” Dark explained further and understanding flashes on Adalinda’s face.
“It was only yesterday I had chosen him over his mother’s life and today he has turned his back on me,” Jold said. “If I had known he would turn his back on me, I would have chosen my blood singer and kill him.”
“Well, you deserved it, you’ve forgotten that you once turned your back on your own father or should I remind you how you had taken the throne right from him?” Adalinda told him.
“As the saying goes, like father and son.” Dark chips in, grinning widely.
Jold took a deep breath, he didn’t want to argue with Adalinda because she was telling the truth and the dragon queen knows a lot.
“So what brings you and Dark here?” he asked instead.
“You must have noticed what is going on right now. Your son has the vampire armies in his command and also the wolf armies too, so I will be needing your help.” Dark said with a serious face.
“My help against my son and his friends?” Jold asked in surprise, his brows shot up as he look into the eyes of Dark.
“If it was just Aragorn and his friends you wouldn’t have seen me here, I can handle them, but you see, Aragorn and his friends have somehow taken the soul of Lucifer and he is now residing inside my mate’s body. They also have the help of my other father’s so I will be needing all the help I can. I am strong but I can not do this alone.” Dark told him.
“Hold on, you just said Lucifer soul has been freed and he is inside the body of your mate?” Jold asked and at Dark short nod he continued. “Who is your mate?”
Rolling his eyes at him, “Raziah of course, who else do you think I am talking about?”
“Oh, I never peg you as someone who will want to settle for a mate, I also never thought the thing you had with Raziah was serious.”
“It was serious right from the start or you think I would leave Raziah so that your son can take over?”
“No, that’s not what I meant Dark, I-”
Dark Interrupted him.
“I was just pulling your legs Jold, I know what you mean.”
Jold stare at him with shock as if he had seen a ghost or something close to that.
“What?” Dark said when he saw the stare.
“Where is the real Dark and what have you done to him? The real Dark wouldn’t say those words, he would have threatened me.” Jold reply him.
Dark smiled briefly. “I don’t have time for all these, I need to save my mate, and I can not threaten you because I will be needing your help,” he answered. “Now here is where I will need your help Jold, you will need to control your vampire armies and your son.”
“Aragorn doesn’t listen to me anymore Dark, even when you came here some hours ago and he knew about your visit, he wasn’t afraid, fighting with you seems to be his dream.” Jold told him.
“I know, I told you that if his path crosses mine I won’t spare him,” Dark reminded Jold. “I will kill him and I am not taking back my words Jold.”
“He means nothing to me Dark, I know I did some mistakes and if I could change the hands of time I would have changed what I did in the past, that’s why I brought up my son in a right way and it still baffles me how he ended up to be this…. something out of control.” Jold said. Dark had helped enough and if he wants to take the life of his son then he would gladly let him. With what he has seen, there was no redemption in his son, the evil in him is beyond redemption.
“The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, right Jold?” Adalinda spoke, she was seated on Jold bed as both bed turn to look at her direction. She didn’t wait for the former Vampire King to answer, “Kill your son when the opportunity comes so don’t wait for Dark to do it for you because he will be busy with other things, for me I am killing my own sister myself, she deserves it.” she added.
Jold didn’t say a word to that but he returned his gaze back to Dark.
“I will do whatever it takes to stop the vampire armies, after all, they were once under me and besides I still have a right over them since I am not dead.” he told Dark. “And also my son.”
“That’s what I am saying,” Dark said after a while. “I and Adalinda will be heading back to the witches kingdom to wait for you, once you are done preparing, meet us there.” he added as Adalinda stood up from the bed to walk outside Jold room.
“Don’t keep us waiting Jold.” She added as she and Dark left his room and palace and flying back to the witches kingdom.
Jold couldn’t tell Dark that his son and his friends with Raziah had come to the palace but knowing Dark, he would have known by now.

Witches Kingdom:
“You know your sister was in that palace before we came, they have been gone a long while though.” Dark told the flying dragon flying next to Gon.
“And how do you know that?”
“Raziah’s scent, I cannot miss such a beautiful scent.” Dark answered her.
“Hydra keeps escaping from me each time I am this close to her,” Adalinda said as they flew over the witches kingdom and landed on the courtyard of the palace once again, no warriors were there to attack them like they had done a few minutes ago. She had transformed almost immediately to her human self before her dragon feet could touch the ground.
“Do we wait for them to come to us or we attack them by going to meet them?” Adalinda asked as she watched the black dragon shrink and circled itself on Dark’s neck once again. She doesn’t know why she was suspicious of that Dragon on Dark’s neck but kept her thoughts to herself.
“I waited before and was hoping they would come to my castle and attack me but I never expected them to steal Raziah away from me,” Dark began.
‘And me.’ Gon’s voice filled his mind.
‘Shut up, you understand what I mean Gon. They took her away from us but no one should know about you until the right time.’
‘I know Dark.’
“So what are you planning?” Adalinda asked, bringing his attention back to her.
“I won’t wait for them to come to me, I will go to them.” Dark answered.
“Make sure you have a plan B.”
“Why?”
“That was how Hydra got away from me. Hydra will always have a plan B so have one as well.”
“I always have a plan B, Adalinda.” Dark said to her with a smirk on his face.
‘They don’t know about me.’ Dark beast said with a dark deep chuckle.
