Chapter 12

Even though Kamal had his own room now, Roya and Arsalan were always there anyway. He knew they both had their own bedchambers, but it seemed as though he was the spot of attention.

A week after his ability to walk again, he began to learn how to hunt.

"No, no…if you crouch like that all the time, you'll hurt your back." Darya, the Vampiress instructing him; scolded. The Prince sighed loudly and loosened the muscles in his back.

He was being taught in the training grounds, the pouncing field to be exact.

"You guys? Do I really have to do this?" Arsalan whined from where he stood, which was a good 30 yards away from Kamal and Darya. He was tied up with rope and being held back from running by Roya.

"Yes, you git. You know how important it is to teach a fledgling how to hunt." Roya hit him in the back of the head.

"Ow! …But what if he isn't a fledgling anymore?" He asked. Roya rolled her eyes.

"You should start feeling a tingling sensation in your ankles now…" Darya said, watching as Kamal readied himself for the spring. She noticed how much he was into this. His Vampiric nature was being awakened and he knew it.

"You may pounce when you see fit, Kamal." Darya said. And he did.

He felt the rush of air as he lithely sprung into it, tackling his friend the the ground and biting him in the neck. Arsalan cried out.

"You never TOLD me he was going to BITE me!"

(days later)

Arsalan and Kamal sat reading a huge, mythological book in Arsalan's chambers when Roya walked in.

"Hey Roya. Haven't seen you in a while." Arsalan said, not having to turn around to know it was her because of his nose. Kamal knew as well, but he didn't say anything.

Both of them turned around, noting that she looked frantic.

"What's up?" Arsalan asked. Roya's breathing was quickened.

"I-I just had a vision…" She gasped, clutching the side of what used to be the Prince's bed, and fell upon it on her back. Kamal and Arsalan approached her.

"Well what was it about?" Arsalan asked her. Roya's eyes were wide.

"T-terrible…Kamal is…part of an…ancient Vampire p-prophecy…"

"A Vampire Prophecy?" Kamal said, but it was more of a shocked statement.

"Y-you were lying on some kind of alter…all chained up…The Empress Fereshteh is holding a wooden stake over your heart…and…that is all I saw before I awoke again." Roya said breathlessly.

Kamal's mouth was slightly ajar. "Maybe that was what you meant when you told me that you only have visions of people that are important."

"Geez, Kamal! You sound so damn casual about it! We have to figure out a way to dodge around this!" Arsalan snarled. The Prince was silent, staring at him. "What?"

"You called me Kamal. You called me by my real name…" Kamal said quietly. Arsalan softened his gaze for a moment, then gave him a harsh glare.

"Well what of it?" He asked defensively.

"Never mind." The Prince smiled and shook his head.

"So how are we going to know when this is gonna happen?" Arsalan asked Roya, who had now calmed down.

"I don't know. But we have to be wary when we leave this room. Most likely, The Empress Fereshteh will send for you to meet her in the throne room, and it will begin there. Her guards will probably try to grab you and chain you up to the alter. I'm not even sure where the alter is, but there was sunlight shining onto it." Roya explained.

"Sunlight burns us. That can't be good." Kamal stated.

"What about this 'Ancient Vampire Prophecy'? What is that?" Arsalan asked Roya.

She focused, looking lost in her thoughts. "I have read about it before…it is said that the Prophecy includes a Prince, an Empress; and an army of Vampires. Oh, I remember it now! It said that the Empress would kill the Prince by placing him in sunlight and plunging a stake in his heart, and the moon will block out the sun. When this happens, the Empress will summon her army of Vampires to destroy the world. That is what she is up to!"

"Then we have to stop her." Kamal said firmly. "I've had a bad feeling that she is up to no good."

"And believe me, you have found out a bit too late." Said a voice in the doorway. The three of them turned to find a group of Imperial Guards standing there, weapons drawn and holding them menacingly.

The group of Vampires warily stood and began backing away. Kamal tried to think of a plan.

"You guys know a way out of this?" Arsalan whimpered like a baby.

"I thought you were a lion!" Kamal hissed. Arsalan ignored him, attention focused on the advancing imperial guards.

"You three will meet the end of your days this hour and spend your eternities rotting in hell!" The leader of the Imperials snarled. Suddenly, a smoke bomb exploded around them and two familiar friends ran into the room. The Imperial Guards choked and were blinded by the thick smoke.

"Darya, Amin! What in the Gods' names are you doing here!" Roya cried. Darya carefully avoided the smoke and grabbed Arsalan and Kamal's clawed hands, pulling them through the room to the exit. Amin took Roya's hand and did the same.

Once they were out in the hall, they all exhaled sharply, even though they didn't have to breathe. 'The smoke had an effect on us, as well as the Imperial Guards. It must have been poisoned.' Kamal thought.

"Run!" Amin urged.

"Where! There is no way we'll be able to escape this island if-" The Prince was cut off by Amin.

"There is a boat waiting for you at the end of the forest and on the beach, it will take you to Babylon!" Amin explained. The three stared at him. "RUN!"

"Thank you Amin, Darya!" Roya cried, then joined Arsalan and Kamal and ran like hell.

"You two will not escape." Another group of Imperial guards began descending down the stairs of the second floor of the Palace. Darya and Amin's eyes widened as their swords impaled them, silencing them.

(outside the Palace)

The Empress obviously had expected something like this to happen, because countless arrows were flying at them over the top of the Palace. They hastily dodged them as they ran for the tropical trees.

It was when they entered the jungle that they realized they had more dangers to face.

A/N: Hm, a little action here and there…..

Prince: A little?

A/N: PLEASE R&R!
