Chapter 54
Help From A Stranger
Nora
"You idiot, I will make sure I end your life now." She said with anger as I started running for my dear life.
The witch tried to strike me with her magic, but I could dodge it using magical spells of protection Rebecca once taught me.
I noticed how weak my legs were; unexpectedly, I hit my legs on a tree root that was out of the ground, and I ended up falling on the ground, hitting my head.
"Ouch." I groaned in pains holding my head, and noticed how dizzy I became all of a sudden.
"Seems you cursed hybrid is tired of running." She said with her eyes all dark.
"Please, I beg you, don't hurt me, please; it is not my fault I am pregnant for my mate." I pleaded for mercy.
"Oh, no need to plead for mercy, this is the only good we witches can do for you; we don't want you to give birth to another abomination that will bring chaos to our world, let's end this once and fall all." "Please, I beg of you, don't do this; witches have a heart of compassion; my baby is so innocent, please."
Despite my pleading, she gave deaf ears and started doing some magical spells that can kill my baby before killing me, tears left my eyes, but something else took place which I can't see very clearly; my eyes were still closing.
All I could see before I fainted was someone very fast taking her off and killing her at the spot.

I was still sleeping when I heard an unfamiliar voice calling my name, "Are you alright, Nora?"
I gradually opened my eyes and saw a handsome looking man giving me a caring look, and I cleaned my eyes again to recheck; it was still the same.
"Who are you please, and why am I in this strange place?"
I said, observing the environment I have never been to before or knew it existed.
"You need to rest, Nora, don't overstress yourself because of the baby in your womb; I made some herbal tea that would help you too, have a sip," he said with concern, but I kept thinking how a total strange knows I am pregnant. "Thank you, should I trust you to drink it? Many witches desire to kill my baby; what if you are a witch?" I said, trying to know who the handsome man was.
"I like how brave you are, Nora; I am not a witch okay, you are so young and little. That's why you don't know me, even if you heard of me. Still, you won't be able to recognise me." He added.

"I saved your life from that witch who wanted to hurt you and your child; if I ever wished to kill you, I would have done it while you still slept soundly." He said, still wanting me to drink from the herbal tea he made.
He makes some sense; he won't hurt me anyway, but what being could he be? Let me drink from the herb and be alright once more before I find my way back.
Drinking from the herbal tea, I found it so bitter that I spat it out, yelling, "This is so bitter, how on earth can someone drink such."
He laughed, bringing out a small glass cup; he opened it giving me sugar, "Bitter things helps you heal fastly, drink it and have some sugar." He said.
The young man seems so lovely and very caring, his family will be happy to have such a person like him.
I finally agreed to finish it and took the sugar from him, sweetening my tongue, I felt much better, so I am still curious to know who his name is? "Thank you so much, but I would love to know your name; I owe you for this kindness you showed to me."
"My name is Juan, but best addressed as Primus, don't get freak out; yes, I am one of the oldest vampires with a young look; I won't hurt you, Nora."
I got comfortable and unease at the same time; he is a vampire and Primus, oh shit, a blood-sucking demon; what if he wishes to such my blood later.
"I can compel you to forget everything if you don't want to think a vampire help."
"No, not that, thank you so much, you didn't hurt me but saved me; I have a question to ask; I hope you will reply to me sincerely?"
"Yes, I will, ask while I am still here with you."
"Why did you save me? I am like your enemy, you know."
"I saved you because everything happening to you happened to my wife, who is dead now." He answered me quickly, but I noticed his countenance changed.
"Sorry if I am asking too many questions from you; what happened to your wife, and why is her case similar to mine? Does it mean I might die also?" I asked with eagerness. "Oh, no need to apologise, Nora; I won't let them kill you, so don't worry about getting killed; many will protect you from harm." He said with confidence and continued.
"I would say I prefer my youth when such evil hasn't grown to this extent. My cousin is a witch as well; you might have heard of her; her name is Freya."
I felt cold inside my body, I never knew Freya would be related to a vampire, but she got taken by an unknown and got clocked.
"She died because of me but also helped me; my wife was a witch who her kinds despise for loving me, but we didn't care, she got pregnant, and it was seen that my child would be an abomination to the world they wanted to kill my wife, but we protected her, she learnt Freya magic with books I hide and become very powerful. An evil person injected him to die, but he didn't. Instead, he became a hybrid just like you. My wife able to suppress my son opposite nature from being a hybrid, but in the end, she still got killed." He said.

I started crying because I pitied him after he narrated the whole past to me, and I could say Vampires are still good.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
