Prologue
"I need every woman and child to be locked in the basement! This isn't a drill! This a serious protocol!"
"Everyone, run to safety! Don't try to save your loved ones! Save yourself!"
"They are coming! The red eyed leeches are finally here!"
"Run faster!... Hurry!... Get these people to safe..."
Screams were everywhere. Mothers, children were petrified. I can tell by their eyes they've never experienced this before. I could hear their hearts racing, eyes bulging, muffled screams. It was all too surreal. I'm used to this by now. Everywhere I travel, the leeches seem to find me.
No matter how hard I try to hide and seclude my being, it always resurfaces, and they know. They know where I am... every minute... every second...
Probably tracking my steps, my heart beat, heart rate, and pulse. They know me a bit too well. They'd always find me.
The name's Princess Maria Leon. or just Maria to be plain and short.
You know princesses still don't exist. Well I am the last princess from my generation. I've been hiding it for a secret now. Only to protect my identity. The secret is I'm a witch. A white witch. I try to do good things and behave as a good little witch. I don't practice voodoo, hoodoo or whatever "doo" there is.
They're only after me because... because they feel like I am a threat to their kind. The problem is they don't know I haven't gained my powers yet. I'm only 18. You get the powers at least at 21 or so.
I can do a bippity boppity boo, just only small spells. Nothing too major. If I tell them I can't do extraordinary powers, they'll think I'm lying and probably make me suffer even more. Oh the horror...
The plan is I have to escape to another hiding place. Someone leaked secret info about where I was stationed, and somehow they've found me. I can't risk anymore human lives. I barely have enough guards and protectors to secure me.
These leeches killed my mom after 4 years into my existence on this Earth. I remember her killing like it was brand new... tattooed into my brain... I could never forget.
"More pain you go through makes your more powerful darling. If you only endure it. It will enhance your white magic... But... if you give up, you become weaker. So you can't give up for mommy... you hear me?"
Her last words to me. They echoed in my head each night this escaping happens.
Being the last princess who's a witch, who saves people, and cancel out darkness aka the leeches isn't a very fond thing to be going through.
These leeches must don't know a thing. A white witch can defeat them... Oh yeah that's why they are trying to kill me. I couldn't belie-
"Princesa, donde estas yendo?" (Princess, where are you going?) My guard asked me.
"Uh... Uh... Pienso... Uh.. Pienso a Barcelona, no?" (I think to Barcelona, right?)
"Princesa, hemos estado en Barcelona. Que mas?!" (We have been to Barcelona... What else?"
"No se... Lo siento..." (I don't know. I am sorry.)
"Ayy. A dios mio. Princesa, No podemos hac-" (We can't make)
I gasped. Blood poured from his mouth. I looked down as blood was coming unto my dress.
"Prin.. prin.."
He fell down, blood overflowing the floor.
I screamed as I saw a stake pierced through his chest. My hands went to my mouth.
My eyes followed up to a dark figure. It was pitch black. And I saw red eyes...
"Leech..." I whispered, but I knew he heard me.
"I would say Vampire is the correct term."
Before I could comprehend next, he knocked me out, as darkness envenloped me.
