Everyone held their breaths as the large and majestic creature opened its mouth in preparation to breath a fire on them. Their faces registered the fear and horror they felt within their hearts as they looked at Abigail, fearlessly standing before the approaching dragon.
The dragon did not look like it was going to stop and they were fast running out of time to leave. In fact, they all knew it was too late to make a move. No matter how fast they were, they would not be able to outrun the dragon’s fiery breath. ’This dragon’s fire was going to turn them all into ashes!’ the vampires thought.
The vampires looked at each other with panicked expressions. Some of them trembled at their imminent fate and some of them subconsciously closed their eyes. In a moment, they would breathe their last.
However, a name suddenly echoed inside the cavern.
"Zeres!" Abigail called the dragon’s name and the fire didn’t come.
The dragon halted before Abigail, his golden eyes staring at her and because of that, they were able to stay in the land of the living for a bit longer.
Dinah became infuriated. She couldn’t believe Zeres stopped just because that damn girl called out his name!
"Damn it!!! Listen to me Zeres!!!" Dinah screamed, trying to get control of the dragon once again.
A loud bone-chilling groan filled the vastness of the cavern again. Zeres didn’t look like he was in pain; it was as if he was torn.
Dinah kept ordering him like a mad woman. Again and again.
"Damn, damn, damn!! Why? Why is he not listening to me?!" Dinah’s veins were almost bursting from utter anger. Her corpse-like face distorted and became even uglier.
"I think he is trying to listen to you but it’s just that Abigail is the reincarnation of the last dragon keeper. She still has that power and is able to affect him. Zeres is now torn between you and her. The trouble will come If he consumes Abigail’s blood because Abigail will then have complete control of him," Ezekiel calmly said.
Dinah shook her head in horror, unable to accept that Abigail’s presence was enough to affect the dragon she created, the dragon who was supposed to be listening to her alone. The woman screamed but when Ezekiel bent closer to Dinah and whispered something in her ear, the woman’s twisted face returned to normal and her anger suddenly died down.
Abigail was so busy with Zeres that she couldn’t pay attention to what Ezekiel whispered to Dinah. Or could it be that Ezekiel took that opportunity knowing that Abigail was occupied?
