Chapter Fourteen
I had no idea how far up the river I had to go to reach the teleportation launch. I also had no idea what to do when I got there. These thoughts, as well as thoughts of Jack and Sergeant Org, filled my head while I kept a steady jog. I was surprised at how well my legs were holding up. Either all of the intense walking had strengthened them, or it was part of the maturing process my body was experiencing. Whatever the reason, it was good fortune for me.
I pictured Sergeant Org in my mind. Had my parents really pledged my hand in marriage to him? It seemed so abstract. He certainly was handsome in his own way. He didn’t fall into Jack’s category of handsome, but never-the-less he was good looking enough. Had my life gone differently and I not met Jack, I could have possibly accepted being married to him. He was not just handsome, but he’d proven himself to be a kindly person. Someone of this nature w

To Sergeant Org’s dismay we were about a day’s travel from the teleportation launch. This meant we’d have to find a place to spend the night. Although Jack could continue on, Sergeant Org and I required rest.He remembered a cave he’d hidden in on several occasions and guided us to it. It was not big, but it was dry and very difficult to spot until you were right upon it. Since Jack didn’t require the same type of rest that we did, he volunteered to stand watch outside while we slept a few hours.Once alone in the cave, an awkward silence fell between the sergeant and me. I longed to ask him what was on his mind, but I felt insecure about doing it. I got the impression he was holding back asking me something as well.“Can I ask you something, princess,” he finally said.“What’s that?” I asked.“Can I ask how you managed to get free?” he said.

I couldn’t believe it. After hearing the story of Sergeant Org’s true identity and how we’d been promised in marriage when I was just a babe in arms, Jack stormed out of the cave and refused to talk to either of us. After one of the most excruciating hours I’ve ever endured, he finally returned. What I expected to hear and what I heard were two different things.“Sit down, both of you,” he commanded. We did as he bid. He looked directly into Prince Mandrake’s eyes –I could no longer think of him as Sergeant Org-, “Why didn’t you tell me your true identity? You know I would have kept it a secret.”“I know,” the prince replied. “It’s just that I’d promised Captain Berger never to tell a soul and I honor my promises. Besides, it was safer for you to not know.”“I suppose,” Jack murmured. “We have a dilemma

We managed the remainder of the trip with no encounters with the enemy and no mishaps. We also shared no words. Each of us was lost in our own thoughts. Drake made a grunt or two when guiding us in this direction or that, but otherwise we moved in silence.My eyes bore a hole in Jack’s back as I seethed over his loathsome behavior, while wondering what he was thinking. I hoped he was thinking about the mistake he’d made and was searching for a way to make it right, but I guessed he was planning my wedding to Drake.We reached the teleportation launch in the early evening. Once again I was exhausted. Jack hadn’t offered to carry me at all, so the pace was far slower and the trip much longer than I could have been had he decided not to be an ass. I groaned and stumbled onto the launch pad, earning looks of concern from Jack and pity from Drake, but nothing more. Drake positioned us for the transfer

To say Aunt Jenny was shocked by my new look was an understatement. Since she’d been privy to my true story longer than I was, I decided to tell her the truth. We walked arm in arm around the clearing of the cabin while I described the horrors of what the Dragos were up to. We spent a few minutes focusing on missing people reported on the news and speculating whether or not they had been unfortunate victims of the Dragos before moving on to the next part of my little adventure.Telling her about Jack rescuing me was both heart breaking and heart soothing. She smiled proudly as she praised him for the attention and care he’d always provided for me through the years. She confided how she didn’t know how she’d have managed to keep me safe and hidden if it wasn’t for him. To my surprise, she confided that there had been several attempts on my life since she’d taken parental responsibility and it was Jack who’d thwa

I didn’t sleep for a week, but I did sleep around the clock. It was evening of the following day when I finally crawled out of bed and headed for the kitchen. I pulled my robe as best I could over my newly acquired figure, hoping it closed in places that it needed to close since the night shirt I found to go to bed in barely covered my crotch and what once were my underpants now resembled G-strings.As I drew closer to the kitchen, I could hear the laughter of a man and a woman. It was a nice sound. I entered the kitchen with a smile on my face only to find Drake sitting alone at the table and my aunt and Jack huddled together near the counter in obvious conversation about something they both found amusing.When they saw me they separated, but it was too late. The damage had been done. My smile was lost.“There she is,” Aunt Jenny cooed as she moved toward me with arms extended.I accepted her hug and kiss while p

“Is someone going to tell me what’s going on?” I asked cautiously.Jack looked at me as if realizing I was still in the room for the first time. He walked over, took the seat next to me, and then took my hand. Drake took the other one. There are no words that would even remotely touch on the impact my body had when those two held my hands. The closest thing to it would be to say it was like a bolt of erotic lightning surged through me.I visibly shuddered. Jack released my hand. Drake did not.“I want you to tell me all about this boy, Mark,” Jack said firmly.“Why don’t you like him?” I asked again.“How did you meet him?” Drake interjected.“He’s always been around for as far back as I can remember. We grew up together,” I replied. “I don’t understand. I told you I was engaged...”

When I awoke I was lying on my bed in my room, the sun was shining, and there was a pile of new clothes on the chair next to me. Aunt Jenny was bustling around the room tidying up what didn’t need to be tidied since I’m an obsessive compulsive neat freak. It was clear she was just looking for something to keep her occupied while she nervously waited for me to rejoin the world.“Good morning,” I yawned.“Good afternoon,” she replied with a smile.“What time is it?” I asked.“Somewhere around three o’clock, I think,” she said as she fidgeted with the tie backs of my draperies.“You went shopping?” I asked.“Without you… I know, but I only picked up a few things. You can get the rest yourself when you’re ready. I just didn’t think you wanted to go shopping when you had nothing to wear shopping,” she chuckled.

He traveled longer and farther than he’d ever traveled while carrying me in his arms. Instead of stopping abruptly as he had in the past, he gradually slowed, giving my body the opportunity to adjust. As a result, when he finally landed us on top of a majestic Canadian mountain I was able to enjoy stable legs that allowed me to walk about immediately. I stood still, waiting for the purging of my stomach to begin. To my surprise and delight, I felt a little nauseous, but nothing came forth.He took me by the hand and pulled me along behind him. I noticed his breathing was a bit labored. Another fallacy uncovered. Vampires eventually get tired.When we reached a large flat surfaced boulder positioned securely against the mountainside, he pressed on it lightly and it swung open. With my hand in his, he led me down a long underpass until we reached the other side. My breath caught in my throat at the vision of beauty be
