The two women were shocked and their eyes were wide open like a saucer, Tara just looked at them as they stared back at her with shock and confusion written all over their faces. They looked just like Mathew had looked last night, Tara laughed inside her head.
" Did you hear, leave " Tara reminded them and they woke up from the shock
" What happened to you? Did the water get into your brain after you drowned? " Flora asked
" I think she left her brain there " The Queen added
" Let me warn all of you, that if you try to harm me or cause any pain to me. Your precious peace agreement won't be done, because the important key of the agreement which is me won't be there. And I don't think the King will be pleased and even the Vampiria kingdom will be mad, then war will erupt between the two kingdoms and you know who will win. Yeah the vampires, now leave my room. " Tara reminded them as she could see the hatred in their eyes, they were ready to hurt her
The Queen and Flora realised what she said was very true, the king would skin them alive if they caused any problem in this agreement, so they can't touch or hurt her. They only prayed she would go and die in the Vampiria kingdom, without saying anything they left her room. Tara laughed out loud that the mother - daughter duo heard her.
The women reached the Queen's chamber fuming with anger. How could she speak to them like that, how dare she!
" I swear if it wasn't for the bloody agreement I would have strangled her myself " Queen Victoria shouted
" Yes mother, I would have helped you. She is arrogant because of the wedding, I hope she dies there in Vampiria " Flora added
" She won't stay long, she will surely be killed in a few days of her stay there. But I'm shocked, she was always scared but today she was different " The Queen wondered
.....
Later Tara was brought food again and clothes, they looked new and pretty. I guess they didn't want her to carry her old, ugly and torn rags. They didn't want to be embarrassed, how pathetic of them. But she was happy for getting those clothes, they were pretty and she was sure they were safe because no one would dare hurt her now because she was needed for that stupid agreement to be done. She packed her clothes ready for tomorrow, she's going to leave here.
" So the prince is a nobody and cursed and a vampire! Ah so much trouble, but for now he's my only hope… So there's going to be a bloody struggle for the throne, just like in the books I read. And the powerful one gets the thrones, brothers kill each other ugh what the hell!!. So I need to help him, yes I will help him ascend the throne and in return I will ask him to let me go and leave my life in the countryside. Yess,… but how can I help him.. " Tara thought hard, and from the memories this place some of the things that were found in the modern world. Tara thought back when she was Anna, although her father had been forcing her to be good in fencing. Anna in secret has been learning a lot of things from cooking, how to make art crafts, about nature and one time at her mother's father she had learnt how to hunt and make crafts and weapons . Anna was skilled with many things but she couldn't show those skills because her father had confined her inside and only came out when she was needed. But yes now she will use all those skills to help the prince become King and then she will be able to leave and go stay peacefully in the countryside.
Tara was proud of herself and she looked again at the beautiful pendant on her neck then went to bed. As she slept, she had a dream. She saw Teresa talking to her but she couldn't hear anything, her mouth was moving but no voice came out. And it looked like there was a glass wall separating them, but Teresa was showing her something on her neck and Tara realised she indicating the pendant. Teresa smiled after Tara touched the pendant, then she said something and Tara heard her
« The pendant will help you when the time comes my dear, for now hold on »
The next thing she knew Tara had woken up and it was midnight, she guessed from the darkness on the sky and the only thing shining was the moon. She looked at the pendant again and then went back to sleep, tomorrow was a new day and big day for her. She is going to leave here and move to a new place, a place filled with pale blood sucking creatures that fact still scared her but her desire to leave here always calmed her down. She even wondered why doesn't she have a wedding dress for God sake, ugh this family is petty as hell. While she was thinking all of that with her eyes closed, she didn't notice that someone was watching her from the window.

" My prince the lady is sleeping, she had a dream and woke up but went back to sleep" Damian ( one of Xavier's royal soldier) reported to Xavier the vampire prince
"She stays out of the castle, I think she doesn't have a good relationship with them" Xavier asked
" Yes the king has never favoured her, she's alone as her mother died when she was young. They have been mistreating her, but after she had drowned she seemed to have changed. Yesterday she slapped the Crown prince who has been obsessed with her and today she talked back to the Queen and princess. " Damian reported again
" Maybe she got tired of the bullying, okay watch after her until we take her home tomorrow. And assign Lamiel and Flok they will be her personal guard when we return to Vampiria, " Xavier ordered again and he disappeared
