Chapter 15
“Relax, the less you think about it the less you will worry. This works both ways, you let me in and you will be allowed into my mind.”
“I’m afraid, this has never happened before.” I sent back, trying to relax, trying to let him in. But something within me refused, something stopped me.
“Calm down, I am not going to hurt you.” He smiled, though I didn’t have to look at him to know, I could sense it.
It felt as though someone was rummaging around my thoughts, seeing them for what they were; ramblings of a scared teenager who lost her parents to the very same creature that was now in her mind. I panted slightly, accidently sending him a wave of sadness, a mourning that I even I couldn’t fully comprehend, I missed them. I wanted my parents back, my family.
I wanted to see them one last time, hold them in my arms, tell them that I love them. But that

“Now listen to me Berus, you were put under my charge by my Father our King. This girl has a lot of potential but the way you have treated her so far will hamper any progress that could be made over the coming weeks. You will do things my way from now on.” Silas sternly said. “Her training will consist of her trying to gain a form of my choosing. You are not to attack her in anyway, except for training her powers. After you have trained her for 4 hours each day. Send her to me. This is a direct order!”“Yes majesty.” Berus replied through gritted teeth, shooting me another look, one that promised me pain.I tried to stand, though my entire form ached and whimpered in pain, the lightning only just ceasing to crack across my flesh. I groaned, inhaling sharply as I attempted to move once more managing to move into a seated position on the floor; my mind slow and vague. The prince turned back to look at me as tears slipped from my eyes,

“No.” He growled, dragging me to my feet.I yelped slightly, his grip tight on my left arm as he began dragging me down the hall; I could sense the fury in his mind, the thoughts that I was too disobedient and I shouldn’t talk back to a vampire. Especially not a vampire prince. He growled again, throwing me over his shoulder, my stomach hitting his bone, making me queasy and sore. He thought I was walking too slow, he didn’t have time to mollycoddle me, he needed me to learn how to control my powers. He needed me to be obedient and quiet. He couldn’t handle a disobedient witch, and he certainly didn’t want one under his command, he wanted me to be a good witch, one that would not question him. But I wasn’t sure I could do that; I wasn’t sure that I was docile enough to be what he wanted me to be, though I supposed that I didn’t really have a choice.I could e

I bolted upright, my heart racing as my chest ached, my breath sharp and afraid. I looked around in a panic, the circular room barren of anything other than the straw I sat upon; a metal door the only way in or out. I stumbled to my feet, rushing towards the only window I could see, bars preventing me from being able to get out that way, a strange aura surrounding the tower, the city bellow seeming so far away. I knew what the aura was as it brushed against my hand, it was binding my powers, making it so I couldn’t use them; the mind link I had with the prince unable to connect here. I didn’t know where he was, or what he was thinking, I didn’t even know if I would still be alive by the end of the day; the world around my spinning as I collapsed onto the floor, unable to hold my own weight.I crawled back towards the pile of straw, my mind as tired as my body; I moved to lay down, shivering as I only wore a long-sleeved blue gown, the fabric ba

“I will have to test the theory, but I believe you will be able to read the mind of other vampires not just me. If that is the case, you are the most valuable witch I have ever met, the only one I know of that can do such a thing.” He explained, suddenly stopping to turn around and face me; his fiery eyes locked onto mine. “I need you to shapeshift into a bat, so you can sit beside me in the meetings and I need you to be able to hold it for five hours.”I stared back at him, too nervous to avert my glance. “What if I can’t do either? What if you are wrong about me being able to read the minds of the vampires?”“Then you are of no use to me.” He said bluntly, taking a threatening step towards me as he continued. “And you will be disposed of for what you did to me.”I bowed, silently showing him that I would obey, that I would try and be everything he wanted me to be, after all; what other choice di

I leant against the witch, not knowing what else to do, my own body failing me. “I can’t, he will see my thoughts.” I whispered.She frowned, looking down at me as she helped me undress and get into the warm bath; her eyes littered with confusion. “What? Who will see your thoughts?”“The prince.” I said without thinking, my body slipping easily into the water.Blanche frowned again, unsure what I meant. “What do you mean the prince will see your thoughts? Witches can't mind meld with vampires.”I thought for a moment, realising what I had done, the problem I had now caused. “I... I mean he can... He can see my thoughts because he is so powerful.”“That is not how it works Luna, vampires can only hear the thoughts of other vampires, and certain witches can hear the thoughts of other beings; but never a vampire. That is unheard of. Such a thing cannot be possible, how can you hea

I awoke painfully slow, my mind dull and unable to comprehend what was going on around me; the room full of faces that I didn’t recognise. I groaned when a stranger ripped open the front of my dress, smearing a strange cream over the wounds I knew to be there; the pain unbearable as it soaked into my skin. I whimpered as two bald headed women lifted me into a seated position on the overly large bed, wrapping a bandage around the place where Berus had forced the aura form my body. I whimpered, attempting to push the human’s away from me, I couldn’t do it; it hurt too much. I wanted to go home, but I knew that I couldn’t, that it was impossible to do so. I crashed my fist into the side of one of their faces, a deep searing panic overwhelming me as I screamed out, they were hurting me. But why? Why were they doing this?A familiar face blurred to my side; the link I could feel between us stronger than ever as he spoke within my mind. “

“Sire, don’t do anything you will regret. Remember that we need her.”Silas growled again, throwing me back into the ground as he spoke; “You should be grateful that you are still breathing, I told you to tell no one of our mind link.”“I’m sorry master.” I whispered, wiping the tears from my cheeks.“You need to be more careful witch, if the wrong person heard you, both you and the prince would be in grave danger.” The Caprotti vampire warned me, though it was something that I already knew.I was aware that our connection was dangerous, that others would want to use me against the prince, ensure that I gave away his weaknesses. Yet, even with being in his mind, I could see none, I could find no weakness; though I suspect that was because he was masking them from me and I didn’t blame him. I wasn’t exactly showing that I was trustworthy, I had betrayed him already, I had tried t

“That doesn’t fill me with confidence about him. I do admire his devotion to you, could I ever be like that?” I asked, only just realising what I had thought and sent via our link.“Why Fraulein, I do believe you can in time, once you see I’m not your enemy.” His sincere response catching me slightly off guard.“You killed my mother; I would say you are the enemy.” I thought, not realising what I had said until it was too late; a small gasp escaping my lips.“I understand your feelings but your mother attacked me first. To begin with I had no intention of taking her life.” he growled slightly, sending his real intention swirling through my mind.He was telling the truth, he wasn’t going to kill her, not until she attacked him; until she broke the rules and rebelled. Yet she saw it as though she had no other choice, she believed he would kill us both because my father had tried to run with u
