Call Of The Dark

When Lazarus traced to Magnus's room, he found Yul also over there as usual. The two were talking about something and the first thing that Lazarus did was to punch Yul once again.

"What the fuck!" Yul growled and he got up to punch Lazarus back, but he stopped him by grabbing his fist and then punching him in his torso. Yul hurled across the room but before he could crash on the couch behind him, Lazarus traced there and punched him on his ass.

Yul hurled to the other side but Lazarus traced to the other side and punched him on his chest. At the end of it, Yul resembled a football, tossing around the room from one side to the other. Magnus had to intervene in between them to stop the fight.

Yul stood there panting with his hands on his waist as he looked at Lazarus who too had gotten a cut on his lip. Magnus was standing right between them with his hands on their chests. "Will you two stop behaving like teenagers?" he growled.

"Ask him!" Yul spat blood on the floor. "Emma and I were in the midst of a great conversation and he came right in between and then traced her away!"

"If you get Emma's name on your lips even once more, I will make sure that you are buried in the blood forest!" Lazarus wiped his blood from his mouth.

"You don't like her! Then what is your problem!" Yul shot back. "She is a beautiful girl with a boisterous spirit. Two weeks later you won't even have the same Emma, then why are you so possessive?"

Lazarus didn't have the answer to his question, but he raised his punch again and was about to lunge when Magnus shouted, "Enough!" Lazarus gritted his teeth and snarled at Yul with his punch still in the air. He took it down after much willpower. With a grunt he turned away from them and went to the bed where he jumped and sprawled across it.

Yul too walked away from there and sat on the opposite couch. He looked up, trying to catch his breath. He had never felt so much for a girl. "I so wish that she wasn't your mate, Lazarus," he said. "If I had discovered her, I would have treasured her. But—"

"Don't make me wring your neck right now, Yul!" Lazarus said as a fresh bout of jealousy flared in his chest.

Magnus chuckled and shook his head. Emma was something. She didn't even know but these two were fighting for her. He went to the bar and poured wine for the three of them and said, "I have an idea, Lazarus. You are going to Samhain with Maeve and not Emma. Why don't you let her stay here with Yul and enjoy the last few days that she has left? That girl deserves at least that much." He gave the wine glass to him and raised his eyebrow.

Lazarus shot him a glare saying, 'Et tu Brute?' Magnus shrugged and gave the next wine glass to Yul. He winked at him and smiled. Yul shook his head and accepted the wine glass. He raised it to Magnus for supporting him.

Lazarus gulped the entire wine down his throat. "Emma is going with me to Samhain, not Maeve."

"What?" the two exclaimed in unison, shocked at his change of plans.

"Don't look so shocked," Lazarus replied coldly. "I don't trust you with her Yul, and that is I will take you as well with me." The main reason why he wanted to take Yul with him was that he was going to stay close to Emma and teach him a lesson by showing who she belonged to. No, he wasn't jealous at all. And certainly a big no to the fact that Yul was making advances towards her which gave him strange murderous vibes. He wanted to save Yul by doing that from his violence. Yes, he was a benevolent vampire.

Yul stared at him. No, he glared at him. And then he narrowed his eyes. He gulped his wine down and then wiped his mouth. "Then I am ready to go with you, Lazarus and I will see what you are going to do to lure her. She hates you and you hate her."

Lazarus's jaws clenched. "You really have a death wish, Yul. If you think that she doesn't like me, then let me inform you—Emma can barely keep her hands off me. The moment she sees me, she is aroused."

Yul raised his eyebrow at Lazarus and then as if he had just cracked a joke, he started laughing. He laughed so much that there was water in his eyes. "Oh sure!" he said in between laughing. "Then I have to come to Samhain with you and see it with my eyes."

"If you two are over with your childish attempts, can I say something?" Magnus interrupted, peeved at his brother and their friend. He really liked Yul a lot and didn't want him dead before Lazarus took over as the King of Wilyra. It would be a great loss.

"Sure!" Lazarus grunted, signing off Yul.

"Richard came back with the report on the sorcerers and witches. The Queen of Ixoviya, Mabel, is ready to forge an alliance with you, but she wants to meet with you."

Lazarus sprang up to sit down, as surprise flickered down his spine. Mabel had been reluctant all these years and he had left all hope that she would help. This sudden change in her plans surprised the wits out of him. "We can meet her wherever she wants," he said immediately.

"Then how about we meet her after you return from Upper North Jupan?" Magnus suggested.

Lazarus didn't want others to know about his alliance with Mabel. "No, I have an idea."

"And that is?" Magnus asked.

"I will be meeting the Oracle of Zeph while visiting Cain. I will go to her because Zeph is only a few miles away from Jupan. I can meet Mabel in Zeph."
