149 Silly Dance
“Your Majesty, everything is ready,” one of the royal guards came inside the store and said to the King.
He, along with the other guards, had already been inside the Hall of Entertainment and taken necessary security precautions in secret.
“Good. Let’s head there then,” Caspian replied while taking one last look in the mirror and adjusting his cufflinks.
Anastasia was standing behind Caspian and intently looking at his reflection with a constant smile on her face.
Caspian also looked at her and gave her a wink. “Do I look that good?” he asked playfully.
“Mhmm,” she replied with a subtle smile and looked away.
Caspian gave a chuckle and held out his hand to grab his wife’s palm. He then led her towards the door of the store while saying, “Alright then, wife. Let’s go and see how they do it.”
“Sure.” Anastasia took a deep breath in and attempted to look confident enough in her slim-fitting and a little revealing dress.
She looked up at the sky when she walked hand in hand with Caspian. It was already dusk by now. The dim and orange sunlight beautifully cascaded on the buildings and roads, giving them an amazing glow.
.....
“The town looks so beautiful,” she darted her eyes around and whispered to her husband.
Caspian gave a smile and replied to her, “Just wait until nightfall. It will look like a whole new world here.”
“We’re going to stick around until nightfall?” Anastasia asked while keeping her eyes on the road.
Caspian darted his eyes around the town and replied, “It won’t be fair if I don’t show you the Capital when it is in its full glory.”
The two of them got ready to cross the road. Caspian put his arms around his wife’s shoulder and waited for a few vampires who were running to pass.
Anastasia happened to look at the vampires who were standing by the roadside. She suddenly looked a little nervous when she realized that that horde of vampires, both male and female, were already looking at her with great interest.
That action of those vampires didn’t go unnoticed by Caspian. He pulled his wife closer to him and gave a piercing glare to them so as to protect his wife from the ogling vampires.
Though Caspian wasn’t dressed in his royal attire for those vampires to know who he really was, all of them got scared of Caspian from the way he was emanating an intimidating aura.
Before the royal guards had to butt in and chase those vampires away, they scattered on their own, not wanting to get into trouble with Caspian.
As soon as Caspian and Anastasia crossed the road and reached the building of the Hall of Entertainment, they could hear the upbeat music again.
They looked at each other before entering the building. Now that they were about to actually go inside, both of them were eager to explore what lay ahead of them.
A beautiful lady came to welcome them inside the hall. She gave a wide smile to the couple and said while gesturing down the stairs, “Welcome to the place that never sleeps. Please come in.”
Anastasia was happy just by the fact that the lady didn’t give her a judgmental look for being a human.
And she happily walked down the stairs along with her husband.
The two of them reached a large open hall that was filled with the sound of music and the smell of alcohol.
Anastasia was surprised to see that the hall was full of vampires and humans alike.
Now that Caspian and Anastasia were dressed like avid partygoers, both of them blended really well with the crowd.
Everyone was swaying their hips and tapping their feet without following any basic etiquette of dancing. The dance indeed looked too wild for both Anastasia and Caspian; they had seen nothing like it before.
Caspian led Anastasia to a corner with less crowd. He leaned close to his wife and spoke when his lips touched her ear, “Shall we copy what they all are doing?”
“I guess?” Anastasia shrugged and grinned in amazement.
Caspian liked the readiness of his wife. He observed what the vampire in front of him was doing and then slowly began to copy the steps.
Anastasia giggled at how silly her husband looked when he tried to move his feet and hips. But soon, she also copied her husband.
And both of them began to giggle while performing the silly-looking dance.
Anastasia’s eyes were not just on her husband. Every now and then, she was also darting her eyes around to see what the other people were doing so that she and her husband wouldn’t stand out too much.
While observing the others, she noticed how almost all of the humans who were standing at the side of the dance floor were holding a glass each, probably alcohol. The vampires were holding glasses containing red liquid in them. And from the way how both the species were interacting with each other and laughing, this place felt like a neutral zone that lacked any discrimination.
Anastasia’s attention was especially grabbed by a human and a vampire who looked like a couple because of how flirtatious they were and how close they were standing.
The woman was standing with her back pressed against the wall. The vampire was standing in front of her, his body pressed against hers. That woman had one of her legs wrapped around his. And they were talking with each other while looking at each other seductively, and also stealing a kiss every now and then.
Caspian also turned around to see what his wife was looking at. And when he saw the couple who were all over each other, he looked at his wife with a playful smirk on his face.
‘Is that what you want, huh?’ he thought to himself.
He then grabbed Anastasia by her wrist and pulled her until her body got slammed into his.
“Caspian?” Anastasia was surprised by that sudden pull.
Caspian placed his hand on her waist and asked while slowly sliding it down to her hips, “Shouldn’t your attention be on me, my dear Anastasia?”
Anastasia widened her eyes when she felt her husband grabbing her hip. She held his hand and placed it on her waist. And she whispered guiltily, “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to look but they were just too... attention-grabbing.”
Caspian laughed at what his wife said. “So, now you won’t even deny it, huh? Are you being affected by the air of the surroundings or what?” He leaned down and kissed her on her shoulder. And he asked in a seductive whisper, “You’re starting to sound like a bad girl.”
“No, I-”
Anastasia was about to deny the accusation when her eyes fell on that very couple again. Her body suddenly went stiff, her eyes widened, and she gripped her husband’s arm.
She saw that vampire grabbing that woman by her hair and sinking his fangs into that woman.
For a second, she had thought that he was simply kissing her. But when she realized that he was actually sucking her blood, she was terrified to her core.
“What’s wrong?” Caspian asked while following her glare.
A suppressed and breathless whisper escaped her lips, “He’s killing her...”
