Chapter 39
I recoiled, not realising that I had pushed my own thoughts into her mind as I looked through her conscious thoughts; how could I find out who the traitors were in this meeting if I couldn’t read their minds unnoticed?
I rubbed my cheek as I stepped back, unsure what I could say to make her believe otherwise; I couldn’t deny it, she knew I was in her mind and I was a terrible liar. My heart lurched as she growled, would she harm me further?
Would she tell the prince that I was in her mind without permission? What would he say if she did tell him, would he be happy that I could find my way into her thoughts, or mad that I failed to do it unnoticed? I had done it before unnoticed and strong, so why did I fail to do so now? Why couldn’t I read her thoughts without being caught?
I took another step back when she began to scowl, knowing that my silence was irritating her. “I only wanted to know what a

The meeting room filled within a few moments, Blanche doing exactly as she was commanded to, Silas moved to sit down and the witch knelt by his side whilst I sat perched on his right shoulder; the vampires barely noticing I existed at first.My mind link with the prince was strong and my form was even more so; I had done it! I had shifted into a perfect bat, the vampires having no inkling of who I really was as I flapped my wings; my head filled with excitement. I squeaked, my triumph clear in the way that I held myself, the prince of vampires chuckling within my mind.“Calm down, you don’t want to get too excited and lose the form.” He sent through the link, though I could tell he was also excited; his mind plagued by it.He could barely keep a straight face as the vampires crowded around the table, each one waiting for the last one the arrive; their thoughts clear as they called the missing creature M

I opened my eyes when silence fell over the meeting room, my heart racing as I looked upon the creatures, each one of them baring the prince coated in blood; the blood of someone they had originally trusted. Luka Gremory had been destroyed, ripped limb from limb and the pieces scattered around the table. I looked towards Felix, my stomach swirling viciously as I saw it; he was holding the head of his father, showing it to his prince as he smiled triumphantly. They all believed that Luka had deserved it for his treachery, but I couldn’t accept that, surely, they could have locked him away and used him; they didn’t even know who he was working for.I began to pant as I stared into the vacant eyes of the head of the Gremory family, the form I had transformed into faltering as panic swept over me, I was failing to hold the form and I would shift back soon.The eyes of everyone in the room turned towards me, watc

“Sire, I need to know that you will not use this witch against us, that she will not become a problem.” “She is loyal to me, Lord Caprotti. I can assure you that she will not attack any of you unless I command it, and I have no intention of harming this council.” Silas said with a smile, finding their fear of me somewhat amusing. Felix growled; his mind unsure. “You sentenced my father to death.” “He was a traitor.” The prince shrugged, “And you carried out the sentence.” “I wish I never had.” Growled the Gremory vampire, his eyes littered with the same ferocity I had seen when he killed his father. “Careful.” Snarled Silas, his fiery eyes locked onto the vampire. “You wouldn’t want to join him, would you?” Marianne stepped between them when the prince stood; showing that she could be the voice of reason. “Let us all calm down, this is not the time to be fighting.

“She is loyal to me, and me alone. Ezio knows this, but does not like the fact that MY slave will not obey him.”“So long as she does not attack one of our kind, I see no reason why she should be destroyed. She will be of great use to us.” Lady Carina Caprotti said with a slight smile, she knew that I was more valuable alive than dead; especially seen as I could harness the power of the sun.“Agreed, I believe she would be a great power with the right training.” Lady Penelope Scarlette smiled, glancing at me through her long eyelashes.Montay and Felix both nodded, along with the others in the room and it seemed as though everyone had finally come to an agreement; I would live. For now. I let out a silent breath, my heartrate slowing slightly as some of the anxiety passed, I would not die today. At least, not at the hands of the creatures in this room.“Good. I am gl

“Stand.”My heart began to race as Blanche rose to her feet, her own fear spiking dramatically; she thought that this was the end. That her life would be forfit. Her terror made me nervous as I stepped around the bed to stand beside the prince, where I should be; I would support the decision he had made, whatever it may be. But I also hoped that he would not harm her, that he would allow her to stay by our side. I needed her, and that may sound silly and childish, but she was the only one I could talk to about how I felt, I couldn’t tell Silas about my fears and hopes. I didn’t think he would understand, and I knew for certain that Penelope and Marianne would definitely not understand how I felt, or even care.I briefly closed my eyes, praying to whatever god there may be that he would spare her, that despite the fact she wasn’t very powerful; he would see some use for her. Please, I though
Under Vampire Rule Chapter 45
Blanche and I stared at the closed door, unsure why he had been so cruel; it wasn’t like him. Not really. Yes, he was a vampire, the prince of vampires; but he had never been that way towards me. He had always been kind, so what had changed? Why was he acting like that? Tears continued to fall from my eyes as I leaned into my friend, unsure what we could do; it would take more time than he had given us to enhance her power and he knew it. He knew he had given us an impossible task.“What are we going to do?” I asked her, sniffling as I wiped the tears from my eyes with my good arm; letting the broken one fall to my side. The pain almost unbearable.“We have to try.” She said with a new determination, she wasn’t ready to die; not yet.I smiled slightly, I admired her courage, she was braver than I could ever be, but she was also smart about it. She knew when she needed to stay quiet, unlike me who always said things at the wron

I felt Silas, he was looking into my mind via our link, he was searching for my pain, but I felt his happiness that I was healed. A quick message of ‘I’m sorry Fraulein but it was the only way’ and he was out of range again. Not long after Silas had left my mind a knock on the door, this was unusual for us as we were slaves and did not get such a privilege as privacy. The door was flung open and a man was brought in, Mari and Silas came in with him. The soldiers carrying him left and the two Vampires remained, my heart racing.I looked as to who the injured man was, I gasped as I saw it was Ezio, his arm had almost been torn off, and there was a gaping hole in his chest, who had done this? Who could injure a vampire in such a way? I rose to my feet, rushing towards the vampires as Blanche bowed; unsure what else she could do.“Master, what has happened?” I asked, quickly bowing before I looked over the vampire prince, ensuring that he wasn

Maybe he was already dead, maybe it was too late, but I would try none the less. I had to. Shaking away the feeling of dread within my mind, I leaned towards the vampire, concentrating as hard as I could, focusing all the power I knew I had into my hands, maybe they cauterised the wound, maybe that got rid of the toxins. I didn’t know for sure, but I would try, with no information on how it was done, I was going in blind. With no inkling of how it should heal him, or anyone else.I took a long breath, beginning the feel the power surging through me, making it was to my hands as I pressed them into the wound, I would have to get in deep to remove all of the toxins.“You can do this Fraulien.” Came Silas’ voice, but it seemed so far away as I stared down at the gaping hole my hands were in.Smoke began to lift from the wound and Ezio began to tremble in his unconscious state, applying more pressure to the wound to keep him as still as I cou
