I gently rub my hand on his beautiful face feeling how cold and how smooth it was.

"S-Steven? Is that you?" I crackled.

Steven layed his cold hand on my warm one making it stay where it was. He looks at me with motionless eyes.

"So you remember me?"

I was about to answer him but we then heard.

"Steven!"

I turn my head to see Alex! He glared dead at Steven with pure anger. Anger that I could not explain. Anger that could kill just by one look.

"How could you do this to her!" he roared trembling was rage.

But Steven just stared at him like he wasn't too worry at all.

"And that you will died for that mistake!" he screams.

I gasped getting on my feet blocking him to Steven. "No! Alex! Don't kill him!" I cried the top of my lungs.

"Why not! He try to kill you Elizabeth!" he roared.

"No you can't! Because he's my big brother!" I cried tears rolling down my cheeks.

~X~

I stared at her in disbelief.

"Bro-brother?" I stunned.

He was her brother? How? How did I not know this? I feel like a dumbass at that moment. How did I not know all this time. I should've, but I didn't.

"Please! Don't kill my brother!" she pleaded before she lost her balance then pass out of bleed lost.

Steven caught her in time before she hit the ground. He pulled her in both arms now carrying her.

"It's true. I am her old brother, however I've be alot happier if she knew the whole time before I had to ease her memory." he muttered looking down at her face. "But that's not the case. She is my sister and I love her brotherly and romantically all the same."

He walks towards the end of the tower then he vanshied. Taking Elizabeth, my happiness, and my love taken away from me like that!

~X~

I run as fast as I could possibly do into the woods. I knew Viktor would come after Elizabeth if I didn't took her away, but knowing him that didn't stop him. Knowing him he would not stop until Elizabeth is dead. And that will not happen I swear on the death of my ashes.

"Lord Steven!" Kain called right behind me, along with Beth at his side.

I came to a stop.

"Lord Steven! Are you all right?" Beth asked in worry.

"Yes." I nodded.

She sighs with relief. "That's great. But what about-"

"Yes, fine."

She sighs in relief again.

"My lord please let me carry her, you need to save your strength." Kain suggest, and I allowed him to take her away from me.

"Make sure she get's attend." I ordered them.

They nodded respectfully.

I turned to walk away.

"But my lord, where are you going?" Beth asked as she caught up to me.

"I'm going to find Viktor." I assured her.

She gasped. "You can not be serious? He will kill you! Kill you!" she echo.

"Yes, I know. But I must keep my promise to our mother." I told her.

"Well yes, but there's another way!"

"Beth!" I shouted.

She stood still, I looked at her calmly.

"I must protect Elizabeth. She is the next hair to the throne of the Dondai clan and also my future wife." I reminded her.

It is common for us to marry a relative in the family to carry the bloodline on. But back then I did not find any of my female cousins or aunts appealing enough until Elizabeth was born. I knew that in this century it was wrong to marry your relatives however in the Dondai clan it has been going for thousands of years. And still to be happening at this moment.

"I have trusted you and Kain to watch over Elizabeth due to my absence and that I thank you." I said.

She nods. "It is my duty to protect the royal family as to do with the princess."

I nodded respectfully. "Thank you Beth you are a true protector."

She bows in honor as I walked away from her.

~X~

"Mother, Father when will brother be here?" the two year old asked her parents while she look through the window. Checking if her brother had came home from training yet.

The very beautiful woman sat in a fancy red love sofa threaded with the finest golden thread to be told. She sits there watching her daughter waiting for her son to return home. Across from her was her wonderfully handsome husband looking along with her fascinated with their daughter.

"She sure loves her brother." Mr. Dondai commented.

Mrs. Dondai chuckled lightly. "Yes, indeed she does."

The little girl still stares ouside through the window, watching pure white snow flutter by their home.

"Elizabeth darling please stop staring out the window and come to me." Mrs. Dondai called with her sweet and soft voice.

"But Mama I want to wait until brother comes home." she complains.

She smiled lightly. "I know dear, but your brother will come inside when he returns. Now come to me."

The small girl walked over to her mother seating next to her in the love sofa. She pulled her daughter to her arms holding her safe and warm. She begins to pet her head gently while they waited for Steven to come home.

Mr. Dondai watched his wife gently care their daughter as the door open. He looks and saw his son lightly cover with snow.

"Brother!" his daughter exclaimed running up to him giving him a hug. "Welcome home! Big brother!"

"Hello Elizabeth," he said to his sister. He looks to his father with a disappointed expression on his face. "I'm terribly sorry I am late."

He just simply nodded his head. "It is fine." he said.

Mrs. Dondai got up from where she sat and walked over to her son. "As long you are well and safe at home, you are fine." she said giving him a kiss on the cheek. "Welcome home dear." she smiled.

Her smiled was so full with love and kindness as so was her heart. Young Steven always thought that his mother was the kindness person in all vampire hunter clans. She was so understanding, so lovable, so nice, so free spirit, so motherly towards every living person and animal. He wished that one day he might marry a woman just like his mother.

Steven sat in the love sofa as his mother and sister were at both of his sides.

"So what did you learn today in training?" asked studying his son expression.

"Well today I have learn how to ease clicks of memory, but I still hadn't got the hang of it yet." he explained to his father.

"I see, well then you keep on practicing." he told his son.

Steven nods in agreement.

"Big brother." little Elizabeth called.

He looks at his little sister to see what she had to say.

She swings her little legs over the floor as he can understand she's too short to touch the ground with her feet.

"Do you think you can teach me one of your lessons?" she asked with her sweet lovely smile.

"Elizabeth. We've been over this dear, you know this." their mother said in a sad tone.

"But Mama I want to go outside with my big brother." she admitted.

"I know dear, but I am sorry. You are not allow outdoors."

He sees his sister frown in disappointment.

"Why do you this?" he suddenly muttered, making both his parents and sister look at his ashamed expression.

"Why do you this to her? You won't let her go outside or even draw some light to her without ten or so bodyguards to protect her? It is not healthy for her to be locked up in a place that hardly let's any sunlight in."

Mrs. Dondai watches her son in terrible shame, as Mr. Dondai motionless watches him.

"You know exactly why we don't allow her out of our sight."

He nods. "Yes, but I just want to hear the reason why. I am aware of the dangers that fill around us, but there's no need to go over board."

He knew he shouldn't have said that, he knew his mother and father were very protective around his sister, but that doesn't explain why they won't allow her near sunlight. It was insane he thought! Insane! However she is the princess after all and the princess was the proud jewle of the Dondai clan, so as he...the prince of the clan.
