She Belongs To The Devil

Theodore widened his eyes in shock.

"No! Adeli–" He clenched his jaw and tried to suppress the insurmountable pain that he was going through at the moment. He held out his arms and caught Adeline in his arms before she touched the ground.

"Mmm! Aarghhh!" Reginald screamed in pain and fell down to the ground with a heavy thud.

An arrow passed through his thigh and disappeared after giving him an ugly wound. Not just that, one of his feet melted down from below his calf and turned into some slimy substance.

"Adeline, don't you dare close your eyes!" Theodore was gently patting Adeline's cheek.

"Theo… you're here..." The corner of Adeline's lips softly curved upward. She felt relieved as she lay down on the comfort of her husband's lap.

Theodore gently pressed his palm on Adeline's chest to hold off the bleeding. He was trying his best to hold off his tears and was trying not to panic.

But Adeline already looked pale.

He could hear her heartbeat gradually declining and he could feel her body slowly getting colder and colder.

"Arghhhhhh! My legs!" Reginald screamed and rolled on the ground. He was feeling excruciating pain in both of his legs yet he didn't even know what hit him and when.

"I can't feel my legs!" He screamed in the hopes that his guards would come and save him.

Theodore was already enraged and was in great pain. He wasn't able to think straight.

And when he heard that bastard screaming and wailing like a child not too far away from him, he felt like tearing off Reginald's throat and pulling out his heart just the way he pulled out Rebekah's heart.

"Shut up or I will pull your vocal cords out and turn your heart into minced meat!" Theodore growled like a mad and hurt lion.

He flapped out his wings and pointed the sharp blade of his feather at Reginald's neck.

However, before Theodore was able to turn what he said into a reality, Arion galloped towards Reginald.

"Come to your senses, Theodore!" He kicked Reginald right on the head and threw him far away from Theodore's reach so that he wouldn't end up killing that Vampire King while he was blinded by rage.

Reginald got knocked out cold.

The soldiers who witnessed this dramatic turn of events all were silent. Both of the rulers were hurt and they didn't know who actually won the war. And they didn't even know if they were to continue fighting or if they were to wait for one of the rulers to give up or die.

Theodore looked at Adeline's chest. From the way the sword had pierced her chest, and judging where he was feeling agonizing pain in his chest, he could tell that the sword got her heart and one of her lungs.

Adeline was already rolling her eyes to show her whites.

Theodore hastily tried to find Adeline's pouch but it was nowhere to be seen on her waist.

"That vampire stole her pill!" Arion told Theodore what had happened.

Theodore swiftly turned his gaze towards the crowd and screamed at the top of his lungs, "Does anyone have the healing pill?"

His thunderous voice resounded throughout the battlefield. But no one came forward saying they had one.

"Ade…" Theodore wanted to teleport her to his cave, to his fountain.

But before he could do so, Adeline fell unconscious. And Theodore could also feel that he was about to faint. He pierced his claws on his thigh to prevent himself from falling unconscious. However, his eyes were getting way too drowsy by the second.

"This is bad!" Arion began to sweat upon seeing the pitiful state of both of his masters.

He saw Agnes running towards them on her horse.

"Oh, thank the heaven!" Arion went and stood by Theodore and Adeline's side.

He chewed Theodore's hair and tugged it to keep Theodore awake. "Theodore, Agnes is coming. Don't worry," he mumbled to Theodore.

Agnes swiftly jumped down from her horse and sprinted to where Adeline was. She immediately placed her hand on Adeline's chest. She took a glance at Theodore. She would have loved to channel him as her energy source. But he already looked like he was in too much pain and looked extremely weak.

So she channeled the power from nature and started to incant the healing spell.

Arion looked hopeful when Agnes began her spell.

However, his hope was shattered when Agnes opened her eyes soon after and then informed him in a sad whisper, "I can't heal her in time. Only a miracle can save her now."

Theodore opened his eyes wide upon hearing Agnes' words.

"Fountain…" he mumbled to himself and tried to use his teleportation power.

He was already covered in sweat. If it was possible to measure pain then what he was feeling right now would still be greater than the pain felt by a hundred humans combined.

The insides of his chest were burning as if they had been tossed into hellfire. He was feeling like pulling out his heart and throwing it into snowy mountain just to get rid of the unbearable pain.

And in the state that he was in, Theodore was only able to produce a gust of dark mist but it vanished before carrying him and Adeline away with it.

Arion understood what he needed to do.

He quickly asked Agnes a favor, "Agnes, will you help Adeline to climb on my back? You keep on working your magic, and I will take both of you to Theodore's cave."

"We can save our Adeline," Arion said with a resolute look on his face. He was saying that more to himself than to the others.

A few of the other soldiers also came to give a hand to Agnes. They put Adeline on Arion's back, as carefully as they could. Agnes sat behind Adeline and held her tightly. And she instantly began to chant her spells to slow down the bleeding and to keep Adeline alive.

"Agnes, hold on to me and Adeline tightly." The moment Arion warned Agnes, he spread out his magnificent wings to everyone's surprise.

"That horse has wings!" People stared at Arion in awe.

Most of the people on the battlefield kept on following Arion with their gaze until he vanished in the clouds.

Right after they were gone, the wolves of the Beta Team telepathically communicated with the other wolves and informed them of the current situation.

Some of the wolves of the Beta Team then guarded Theodore, who by now had succumbed to the darkness in his mind.

While the rest of the wolves were ready to pounce on Reginald if any of the vampires were going to pull off some sick trick like their King.

After a few minutes, one of the Generals of Wyverndale came forward and then said to the Mihir soldiers in a threatening tone, "Your King is not going to wake up soon. Even if he does, we will finish him off before he can move a muscle.

So decide what you all are going to do? If you want to continue the battle, then we will gladly wipe out the remaining of you. No, we will do much worse for the trickery that your King used on our Queen.

No one disrespects our Queen!" That General growled angrily.

And followed by his words, the soldiers of Wyverndale let out their battle cries again and readied their weapons.

But the Head General of Mihir came forward, looked at the disabled and unconscious King of his, and announced, "On behalf of His Majesty King Reginald, I, Head General Carlos, accept our defeat. All of the soldiers of Mihir will return back to our Kingdom this instant and will never set foot on the southern territory again."
