Chapter 25
I nodded, sending Ezio’s furious thoughts barrelling towards the prince’s mind, my own thoughts mixed in as I sent them; unsure why he didn’t believe me, I had never lied to him. I searched Marianne’s mind, her confusion only rising as time passed; not entirely sure what was going on around her. She didn’t understand why I was so powerful and how I could read their minds with ease when a witch has never been recorded as being able to do such a thing, believing now that I was something special. Someone they could use.
“Well.” Silas said, resting his chin between his finger and thumb, “This changes things, we actually can plan better with this new found ability.”
“What do you mean Silas?” Marianne asked, intrigued by his words as much as she was interested by me.
“All will be revealed when the time is right, but for now; we could use her to find out whether the Phantomhives are readying for wa

“Now we are alone Fraulein, I have some words of advice to part on you regarding Marianne.” Said Silas a few minutes after the door shut.“Yes, Master” I said, trying to be as obedient as possible. “I would like to have as much help as I can get.”“Look Fraulein, I only expect you to be so formal in front of Vampires and the sort. Things don’t have to be so intense when it is just you and I. Though I still expect you to watch your tongue and be obedient.” Silas’ tone firm but unusually soft.“Alright, if you are sure.” I said, almost whispering as I wasn’t entirely convinced that it would be ok not to call him my master when we were alone. What if someone overheard?“You worry too much.” He chuckled, making it past the barrier I had created between our minds; though I still didn’t know what he was thinking. He was much better at this than I was.I rose t

“Now Fraulein, A guard will come to escort you to your chambers where you will meet with Marianne.” He turned to the door and walked off with something almost like a spring in his step.I stood in there in awe, what had changed within him? Something had, I just didn’t know what, he was nicer; he considered my opinions and suggestions. He listened to me. I mutely nodded towards the guard that entered the meeting room looking for me, quickly following him towards the chamber, the door having been repaired. I reached out my mind to Silas as I entered my room, forgetting that he was originally going to tell me something about Marianne, something I needed to know.“What was the important information I needed to know whilst training with Miss Scarlette?” I asked mutely, sending the question swimming around his mind.“Ah yes, Marianne is unforgiving when it comes to training.” Came his thoughts, though I still had no idea what

“Not before you show me.”I shook my head, taking a step away from the vampire. “I would like to show you at the same time I show my master, Ma’am.”“That is not possible my dear, your dear master is entertaining an important guest so I suggest you tell me and I will decide if it warrants his attention.” Marianne replied sternly, ripping the note from my hand.“Wait...” I protested, quickly shutting my mouth when she shot me a glance; one that terrified me greatly.“So, the rebels have contacted you because your father was one of them. Filthy rebel scum! You should be killed for just having shared blood with them!” She exploded with rage as she took a threatening step towards me; her eyes coated with hatred.I searched her mind, shocked to find she had every intention of killing me instead of taking me to Silas, panic rippling through me. “NO, you don’t understand. I won&

“Luna is not a Marshall, her mother met Stephen Marshall after Fraulien was born, marrying him before she knew of his actions with the rebel witches and warlocks. But her mother never revealed the fact she was married to a rebel to her vampire handler, nor did she tell her own daughter he wasn’t her real father.” Silas explained, his words carefully chosen as if rehearsed. “Which helps explain how she has no traits from her “father” and has no desire to join the rebels, she knows their numbers have waned in recent times due to them being ineffective against us.”I gasped when I heard the words leave his lips, Stephen wasn’t my father?! What did he mean, if he wasn’t, then who was? Who did I belong to? I rose to my feet, taking a step towards them as if in a trance; “What else do you know?” I asked him.Marianne smiled, “Do you have proof of this?” she asked, negating my question as Silas&rsqu

“I told you Fraulein was loyal, I told you that she would obey me and you will never lay a hand on her again, not unless I give the order. Is that clear?”Marianne nodded, glancing towards me as she sighed; her tone small and seemingly understanding, something that was rare from a vampire. “I am sorry for your loss child; your mother should not have had to endure what she did under our noses. We should have noticed.”An apology from a vampire? A high ranking one at that? This was something that caught me off guard but I knew she meant it; “Thank you Ma’am, I appreciate it.” I bowed my head to show all was forgiven.“Fraulein has also given up her name to show her loyalty to me. You will call her Luna unless in another form where she will be Fraulein.” Silas added.“You are certainly lucky

I nodded, warning the prince that I would be unavailable for a while, that I was beginning training and my mind would go silent; unresponsive. I tried to push the doubt from my mind, quickly sitting in front of Marianne on the floor, my heart racing slightly as I had never done this before; my anxious mind preventing me from concentrating fully. I sighed when nothing happened, when I couldn’t transform, knowing that it was because I was distracted.That my mind would not allow me to focus. But that still didn’t help, knowing was half the battle and in the situation, the other half was more difficult than I could have imagined; unsure how to move forward I closed my eyes, sighing again when nothing happened, when I failed.Mari sighed with me, knowing straight away what was happening. “You need to relax your mind; doubt is your worst enemy right now.”“I can’t relax, if I fail it ruins

Nine days had passed since my first lesson with Marianne, the deadline drawing closer faster than I had imagined it would, my doubt returning after a few days; filling my mind with reasons why I couldn’t do it, why I never would. I had tried my best, giving it every effort with no success, my mood deflated and low as I collapsed back onto the small mattress; the freezing room oddly comforting me.I needed to rest, to have a break from the constant demands of Mari, she wouldn’t give up; she couldn’t understand why I was failing. But I could, I wasn’t as good as they believed me to me, I wasn’t as powerful as they had hoped. I was nothing.I closed my eyes, Silas had been gone from Paris for three days and for that time, our connection had been lost; it clearly didn’t work over long distances. I couldn’t feel him any longer, I couldn’t sense his presence in the city or in th

“I knew that your fear would convince you to take another form, though I wasn’t sure if it would be a bat or not.”I understood what he meant, it could have gone one of three ways, my sunlight power could have made an appearance, I could have deflected his attack or I would have transformed into another creature; luckily it turned out that I had shifted into a bat.I dread to think what would have happened if I had not used my ability to shift, if I had deflected his attack using my aura. Perhaps if I had, we wouldn’t be having this conversation because I would have been rendered unconscious for attacking a prince of vampires. Would he have killed me if I would have failed? What was the next step if this hadn’t have worked?“Do not worry about that now, Fraulien.” He sent, his tone soft and welcoming. “All the matters is that you have done it. You’re a bat!”
