"Princess, we have little time what is your command?"
My heart was racing, even though my face showed nothing but a calm exterior. I knew what they demanded, the army that was now threatening to break our walls. They wanted access to my kingdom, to my people. Their blood was to sustain them, their rule was to be obeyed and respected. The letter I had received 1 week ago, was demanding us to do as they wished and if we agreed, they would be reasonable, letting no vampire to drink from a child under 15 they would only kill when forced to, or when they where to protect them self. If they spoke the truth, and this was a promise they would keep, no one could ever know. 'How can I bow down to this evil? How can I tell my people to obey. They would never forgive me for opening the gates, I would never forgive myself for doing so. But if I order them to fight, to go to war, there was a little chance anyone would survive. Most would be slaughtered, and this was the most likely result of a war.'
- "Princess?!" My first captain in command woke me up from my sorrow filled thoughts. His look was pleading and anxious.
I looked up on all of the people in the room, taking a deep breath and standing up from my throne.
" I will not give them my people as slaves, but neither will I force anyone to fight with a high probability of facing death. I want you to save as many people as possible, let them run through the tunnels, escape as fast as they can," I spoke with force and determination not giving away the fear that I felt. I took another deep breath.
"I will stay, I will fight! All of those who chooses, shall stand by me and fight them until we draw our last breath! We will protect the people and give them their chance of life and freedom."
The room went quiet, and the look I saw in their eyes where awe.
"Hurry, let it be done!", I spoke to them and on command everyone started scrambling away.
I picked up silver bow, and the arrows that was next to my throne. Then I hurried away towards my chambers. Thousands of thought rushed through my brain. 'Did I do the right thing? Will they get away? How long do we have? Will they torture those who run? Where will they find sanctuary?´ It kept on and on and when I got to my destination I quickly changed from my white gown into a pair of black leather pants and a white shirt with a silver and blue corset over it. I strapped it on tight and quickly braided my waist long, midnight black hair.
When I was done, I glanced out onto the streets from my balcony. I saw a few men, women and children run towards the tunnels, and by the look of it a few hundred must already have gone the same way. But the city contained thousands and the kingdom stretched on for hundreds of miles, before reaching our allies in the east. I glanced toward the gate, and pride filled my heart when I saw my army ready for battle. Their bravery was more then I could ever hoped for.
Beyond the walls, there was an army not much bigger then my own, but lethal never the less. Their kind was superior to us, in strength, sight, smell and speed. We needed a miracle on our side to survive, and before turning away I looked towards the sky and fell down on my knees.
"Gods, be with us! Our future lies within you hands, our faith is now to be decided." My words where hushed and respectful, I hugged the medallion of Enosos, that hung around my neck. And I turned my feet and started to run down the tunnels of the palace towards the battle.
...
The screams of pain and the smell of blood was everywhere. My black horse was franticly trying to escape the smell and the throws towards her. 'Be steady Samir' I thought to myself trying to calm both her and my own nerves.
I shoot my arrows through and hit a few of our enemies, but their speed was incredible. I was in the middle of it all, and my men, did everything to protect me. But it was clear we were loosing. Sorrow filled my heart as I heard the words my father spoken to me so many times 'The gods favor the strongest.' As people where dying and the crowds became thinner I saw a man appear on a horse, a vampire for sure, one of them, by high rank no doubt. He was huge, ripped muscles on his entire body and must have been at least 6.2' tall. His hair was black and his green eyes glowed, literally glowed as his sword slaughtered my people.
I was quick to shoot and arrow at him, and because of the slow horse compared to his own speed it hit his left arm.
"Damn it," I cursed to myself at the failed attempt to kill him. He growled and I could se the strain in his eyes. Then he pulled it out with little effort and looked straight at me. His eyes almost petrified me, and he looked like a wounded tiger, even more dangerous then before.
What happened next, was mostly a blur but there was a loud roar that filled the air and I got thrown of my horse. The next thing I know I was on the ground and Samir is lying over my legs. The pain that filled me was excruciating and I could not move away. I tried to push her off, but she wouldn´t move and that's when I saw him again. He was standing over me, and lounged his sword into Samir's beautiful neck and her blood was splashing out over me.
"No." It was a silent cry that left my lips. She was so dear to me, and that was when I realized that I was going to die.
The man smirked at my reaction and titled his head to the side.
"My oh my, princess Alicia I presume?!," he spoke with a dark voice filled with amusement.
He bent down beside me, whipping of some of the horses blood from my face and liking his fingers. I could only narrow my eyes and try to collect some of the dignity I normally owned. He studied me a bit longer, looking over my face, and my body until he got down to my legs, he reached out towards them and griped one of them tight.
"Aaaa," I screamed loudly. the pain almost sent me into the darkness, the last thing I heard was another mans voice and my tormentors reply.
"We have control over the city, shall we keep the fighters alive?"
"No, kill them!," he answered with a hard tone.
Regret, pain and sorrow filled me when I understood our defeat was final. Now, I could only wait for death to come, even though I wished for life, I would rather die with my men as a fighter, then live as a slave to this monsters. Moments later the darkness completely overtook my body..
Blipp…blip…blip the clinging sound filled my ears and mind. It was so sweet like water drops falling down on a Chrystal glass. I felt at peas like there was nothing in the world that could ever get me out of my happy state. 'Am I with the gods, have they blessed me to become part of paradise?' Blipp.. blipp.. SMASH I heard it before I felt it, the burning sensation that pinched my face the throbbing that ached in my cheeks from the blow I just received. My eyes flew open and as I realized I could not focus my sight. I got more aware of my body, it hurt and screamed in pain at me. 'I am still alive, but why?'"Why?", It left my lips in a murmur.But I got no answer, and started to wiggle my body in a weak attempt to escape. But my body did not move much and I felt my arms being restrained. Darkness threaten to overtake me again, but then I felt a strong hand grasp my head and I immediately looked into
AliciaThe blood covered almost every surface on the floor, and what was left of the bodies were thrown into a pile. Most vampires seemed cheerful and also a bit high from the rush the blood had provided them. He however seemed to be unaffected by it. As if is he could handle more then the others. His clothes, arms and face where dripping of blood as he turned towards a few people in the back of the room."Clean this mess up! And fix me a bath in my new chamber," he said with a strong voice and turned his attention toward me at his last comment.I was curled up as far away from the thrown and the scene as the chain allowed me. My arms were crossed over my chest and tears seeping down my chin. 'What did just happen? What have I done? How could I ever allowed it? Oh let me die now.' my eyes where gazing toward the non-existing horizon and my breath were quick and ragged. The fear had taken a hold of my body a
liciaMy eyes were glowing and I was observing the connection between us. His arm across my stomach and went around my waste. His broad shoulders and toned chest felt like a rock behind me, completely unyielding.I could here my own heart beating hard and loudly in my chest and my body was rigid. The air around us where filled with the blended smell of sweat and blood.The minute past by and nothing was said between us, it was as if he tried to make me understand whom I belonged to. He held me so tight it hurt my ribcage and it was not until a knock on the door interrupted the strained moment, that he let me go. He stood up, leaving me completely empty sitting on the floor."Enter, " he shouted a bit to loud."Master, you called for me. " It was Elza's pithed high voice. My back was faced the door so I could not see her."Take Alicia with you, make sure she is cleaned up and put t
AliciaAs I walked forward I noticed how I was trembling, and my legs were wobbling. It was even hard to take the few steps that brought me to my old bed, where my master was lying. His eyes roamed over my body like a hungry predatory and I could see how his eyes was slightly glowing.All I wanted to do was to run the opposite direction and flee from whatever that was going to happen to me.I put my knee on the bed and pushed up upon it, feeling the soft material of the sheets as I watched him carefully."May I know your name, master?", I asked with some hesitation."I am your master and I do not see a reason why I should tell you my name, since you will not call me by it," he answered plainly.He was still observing me as he took my hand in his slightly pulling me towards him. I resisted and pleaded with my eyes. 'I don't want to.' But then something took control over me again, a
AliciaMy eyes went wide and I screamed as the horror from my dream was beginning to come true. I could hear my master chuckle behind me, as he lowered his head down to my neck. "No please," the sound of my voice hardly escaped my lips.He was placing feather light kisses along the vain that were noticeable through my fair skin. It made me shiver. His breath was warm against me, but I felt frozen and now I was trembling.Master Cain took a deep breath in, filling his nostrils and his chest tightened behind my outstretched body."Your blood smells even more enticing when you are afraid princess, " he whispered in a low and seductive voice. "It would be a waste to drain you all at ones." He continued while nuzzling my neck. "Be a good girl and don't move, the first bite always hurt."Before I had the chance to react I felt his cold hard fangs get pressed
AliciaI don't know for how long I had been in the cell they had put me in. I was cold and chained up by my ankle.The chain was attached to a moist stonewall that I rested my body against. The cell was no bigger then 20 m^2 and was crammed with 10 persons of different ages.All of us were dirty and smelled sweat and blood. The most overwhelming sense, was the horrible smell from the two corpses in the corner. It´s intensity almost made me hurl.They had died a while ago, as a vampire decided to drain the two small women. He left them to take their last breathes in this cell. We had all witnessed it, without being able to interfere. He had been beyond ruthless and did not even try to calm them into submission. He simply demanded it through his actions.I felt empty at the thought of that scene and also when I thought about what I had been through for the past
AliciaI almost fell down from the ledge into the deep part of the bath as my body was released from the hold the debt had on me. All the physical and psychological tension that was inside of me suddenly flew away from my body and I felt more relaxed then I had in a very long time.The feeling was the same as if you had drank a bit to much wine; I could not really focus or find the strength to control my body. It was as if my muscles had been on vacation and just got back.My master catched my body and helped me up into his lap. The water felt soothing and warm, and the petals softness against my skin made me shiver.By instinct I stiffen as I was placed in his lap, remembering what I had just been asked to do. I became more aware of the fact that the both of us where naked. His body felt hard behind me, and I could feel his erection pressed against me.I tried to t
AliciaWhen he reached me and towered over my small body sitting in the corner he picked me up in one swift move and carried me back to the bed. Even if I wanted to struggle free my body wouldn't resist him, somewhere deep inside of me, I wanted to be in his arms. It probably was the effect his blood had on me.He laid me down carefully, and I watched him carefully with my tear strained eyes. He tuck a tendril of my hair behind me ear and continued to study me. The minuets passed, neither of us saying a word.When he turned his face away from me I could see that his focus was on something going on outside of this room, something was happening. It was evident that he was listening in on something; with their enhanced hearing it could be anything going on within the castle.Suddenly he got up and charged out of the door and before I had the time to react I was all alone in m
