Beauty And The Vampire: It All Started With A Rose #1

27

Izabelle couldn't believe what was happening around her. Again feeling trapped in the four walls she was facing something that seemed similar. In front of her laid the tall beast prince in all her beastly glory she was still not used to.  The door and windows were closed shut just letting in enough of light.

"Izabelle... " Eliana said slowly and carefully not wanting to spook Izabelle more than she already was. 

"Eliana what is going on?" He was going to kill her when she next saw him Eliana had said. He was being kept locked, unfed, trained to kill her from what she had gather from the chat.

"I freed him.  However it's only a little time before she realizes." The white witch spoke, still being careful. Izabelle still took a careful step back.

"Is he sleeping?" She asked looking at the dangerous beast lying in front of her.

"I knocked him out using a spell. " Eliana said letting the words sink in.  Izabelle let out a breath of relief and unguarded herself just a little.

"Izabelle, dear, I need your help with something.." Eliana spoke maintaining the careful tone. Izabelle couldn't help but wonder if the past few days were a dream. Was she really free of that wretched manor?

"What do you want Eliana?" Izabelle said wanting to hear what the witch had to say.

"Did you read the book?"  The witch asked urgently.

"A chapter?" Eliana shook her head and brought out the book. 

"That would have to do for now it seems.  I would like you to have the book. " Eliana said opening the book and flipping through pages until she came to a specific map.

"Look here now. I need you to save a life. " Eliana spoke looking Izabelle in the eye. Izabelle gulped.

"How do you propose I do that?  Whose?"

"Adam's. I need you to make a trip to old Amara and Vinairian Border. Vinair captured most of Amara and since then the whole world has been divided and conquered many times.  This map here is the very first.  In no way does it resembles the map of the kingdom today.  However one thing hasn't changed.  A thing I should have persuaded long ago. " Eliana spoke mournfully. "You both aren't in love.  If the things continue as they do right now then in three weeks time the Prince would be dead.  I know you don't even remotely fancy him nor do you have any motivation to help him but please Izabelle. I don't want him dead.   There is a group of wizards in the mountain there. It is said one of them has mastered the nature of magic. 

I can not go for I must keep my cousin busy.  You, however, can. If we could understand the nature of the curse more, we have more chance of undoing it without you both needing to fall in love.  "

"You..  You still love him!" Izabelle exclaimed in realization. Eliana did not respond.  Izabelle knew even if Eliana wanted to admit it it was no good. It wouldn't break the spell from what she knows.  No rosa was plucked for her. 

"That matters not Izabelle.  Would.. Would you be kind enough to do this?" To go on an adventure?  Other own? Izabelle couldn't have asked for more. An adventure out side of the four walls wasn't that what she had been yearning for all her life?  However Izabelle couldn't help but pause for a thought.  Would it be the right course of action? Over thinking has made seldom wondrous opportunity go to waste. If the beast was freed from his curse she could go home. If she doesn't do this, he would die.

If she did however do this and then head home,  she would have an adventure, a life would be saved and she wouldn't have wasted her life away inside four walls of a Manor feeling pathetic.

"Alright.  I will do this.  What do I need to do?" Izabelle said finally making her mind.  She was more excited for an adventure beyond what she has known till date rather than saving a life. 

"My stars! Thank you so much Izabelle. You have my thanks as a witch. Do this and you would never lack anything in your life." Eliana said making a silent promise.

"I would try my best. "
