Lilith whipped her head towards him, anger colored her freckled face. "You are good in playing hide and seek, little witch. Just like a mouse." He chuckled mischievously. "But too bad for you, mousey...Coz I’m good at seeking, like a cat."
"L-let go!" Lilith tried tugging her hand out of his grasp, but the boy gripped her harder.
"Nope. I caught you. So, from now on, you are my pet." He said in a matter-of-fact manner.
Lilith swallowed and she was about to chant a spell again when the boy’s hand covered her lips. She hadn’t brought a sword because she knew she could not hide it. What should she do?
"I never saw a witch with red hair and green eyes before." He commented, tilting his head. His dark hair a stark contrast with his mischievous bright eyes.
Lilith sank her dainty sharp teeth into his hand that was gripping her until the boy groaned in pain. "Ah! Stop! I’ll hit you if you don’t!" he said as he winced in pain. However, his grip was still tight on her arm. Knowing that she couldn’t escape unless he let go of her, Lilith didn’t release her bite and her jaws clamped down even harder. "I said let go you little...! I will really hurt you! I’m not kidding!"
The royal boy was now gritting his teeth and Lilith knew he’s in pain because she was starting to taste his blood. But why was he still not letting go? Stubborn little vampire!
"Ugh!!! I said I’ll hit you!!"
When the witch girl still persisted and even bit him even harder, the boy’s movement was a blur and it seem to be moving to her neck. She didn’t have the chance to disappear because he was too fast.
Lilith’s eyes widened and she felt her heart thud in nervousness the moment she felt his hand clasp around her neck. She shut her eyes closed but sunk her teeth deeper onto his hand, expecting him to strangle her. But he didn’t and she slowly cracked open one eye.
When their eyes met, his face was still twisted in pain, but his eyes filled with disbelief. "I can’t believe you’re still not letting go. Seems you’re less of a mouse, but more of a dog. A mad, crazy little dog!" he was now exasperated. "Let go, now before I hurt you. Are you planning to eat my hand?!"
Despite his threats, the boy didn’t even tighten his grip on her neck. Realizing that the royal didn’t seem on planning to hurt her at all, Lilith’s feet moved, dragging him along with her. She planned to move herself away from the pillar and then bring him to the open space where she could finally kick him away.
"You... you!!" The boy groaned in pain. "I will punish you! I will really punish you after this. Heed my word –"
"Kyle." A deep voice made the two freeze and halt. "What are you doing?" freeweɓnovel.cѳm
Lilith felt the boy stiffen up. He seemed to be so startled or even scared that he had forgotten about the pain her bite was causing him.
Blinking, she watched the boy straighten his posture and steadily turned to face the source of the voice.
"Brother," he bowed. "I... I caught a..." he paused and looked at Lilith as if he were unsure whether to continue speaking or not.
When Lilith looked up at the man the boy was talking too, she also flinched in fear. She didn’t know why but the man’s aura scared her even though he was so good looking and didn’t look angry at all. Lilith subconsciously let go of the boy’s hand and with blood painting her lips, her fear made her inch closer to the boy she had just bitten, even trying to hide behind him.
