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
Silas roared taking command, “Then we must fight back, everyone to your battle stations, Guards take Luna and Blanche, get them to the outpost.”I moved from under the bed when the prince turned back to look back at me and Blanche, my heart racing. An outpost, but that would take me away from my master, wouldn’t it? But here I could be of some use; I could help them kill the Phantomhives. Why send me away?“I am doing this to protect you Fraulien, you must go with them now.” Said Silas when I hesitated by his side, staring up at him as he continued; “Neither of you are ready for this fight, we must keep you safe for now. Please Fraulein, go with the guards and Blanche”I nodded then sped on my way grabbing Blanche by the hand, we ran down the hallways, following the vampires out into the courtyard and into a black vehicle. Blanche and I got into the back, the doors locking as the two vampires got in the front. The tired
He laughed deeply, his eyes locked onto mine as I remained silent; unsure what to say or do. I had never imagined being in this kind of situation and the last time me and Berus were together, he had tried to kill me! What could I possibly say? What could I do? I knew that I was in danger, but I couldn’t call for my master for help, I was all alone with him and my friend. Blanche and I were defenceless...“Master please let us go, we have done nothing to harm you, nothing to deserve your wrath.” whispered Blanche, her fear clearly visible in her face, her pleads for mercy weak and tired; as though she hadn’t slept in days.But I knew that such pleading and begging would not work, not here away from Silas, and if he didn’t have a reason to keep us alive, we wouldn’t have woken up. He needed us for something, or someone; but who and what I didn’t know. I couldn’t enter the warlocks mind when I tried, my ability unable to coo
I attempted to reach out to my master once more, but I heard nothing in response, though I didn’t know what to say; what could I say? I didn’t know where I was, or who had captured us. Not yet.Berus stopped in the centre of the large room, a table a few feet away from him; where three vampires sat watching us, waiting for us to make the first move. The necromancer bowed and so, me and Blanche did the same; unsure what else we could do. I lifted my eyes to get a good look at those who sat at the table; the rest of the room bare of anything, no pictures, no windows, nothing.I suspected the one sat in the middle was the head of whatever family we were in the presence of, his long raven hair running down to his jawline in what looked to be a middle parting; smooth and pale skin and amber eyes that stared into my very soul. He had high cheek bones and was incredibly thin, though he looked to stand over six foot, though I could not be sure as he was sat down. H
I had to save her.My ability began to bubble to the surface, sprouting from the hand I held over her wound, the healing process agonisingly slow.“Not so fast witch.” Elizabeth said from somewhere behind me, clasping something around my left ankle as I focused on Blanche, the female vampire’s movement blurred and unnaturally fast.My ability stopped suddenly, Blanche’s wound reopening; what had she done? Why wasn’t it working?! Tears burst from my eyes once more as someone grabbed me from behind, prying me from my friend’s body and throwing me backwards. I slid across the floor, smashing into the wooden table as I saw the last movement of Blanche’s chest as the room fell silent, a smile on each face. Each face but mine.“What have you done?!” I screamed, looking down at my left ankle a small golden trinket wrapped around it; the metal giving me a sharp shock when I attempted to remove it
The dungeon was a horrid place to be, especially without my friend alongside me, she made everything seem a little more bearable. But now she was gone, the Phantomhive clan seeing no use for her and soon, I believed they would see no use for me. I had been in the underground cell for days, with only the occasional glass of water and bowl of plain porridge to keep me going; even Berus hadn’t visited me. But I saw no escape, no way that I could pick the lock of the chain around my hands and feet, bound to a single bed with only a few feet of chain so I could make it to the cell door for the food and drink. Was this to be my life now? Would Silas not come for me? I hadn’t heard the prince’s voice inside my head since the day I was taken, perhaps he was too far away, or maybe he just didn’t want to listen. I was trouble from the first moment that I met him, useless and blind to the cruel world I was born into.Witches didn’t have rights
The warlock moved to stand beside me, “I am.”I frowned again, scowling at the one person who I hated most in this world; my mind unsure and angry. “I’m serious, who is my father?”“I have just told you Luna, I am your dad.” Berus scowled back at me, his eyes showing no signs of deceit.“You can’t be.” I whispered, still unable to believe it. “My mother could never love a man like you.”Berus smiled savagely, “You are right, she couldn’t, that is why she stole you from me when you were a baby, it was an arranged marriage. She did not want it.”“NO...” I murmured, my hearty lurching and jolting within my chest. It cannot be true! Berus couldn’t be my father, my mother would never agree to an arranged marriage, she would have never consummated it. “You’re lying.”Sebastian smashed his hand against the table, causing my
Maybe he was right, I couldn’t fight these creatures, and I was foolish to think that I could. Everything about them was superior to me, even Berus outmatched me in power and age. I was just a teenager, one with little experience of the world, I couldn’t take them on alone.Before anyone else could speak, Elisabeth stormed from the room, deciding that she did not want to be in my company any longer; her eyes coated with rage. The heavy doors shut behind her, a sigh of relief accidently slipping from my lips as I watched Vincent re-take his seat, Sebastian soon following his son and Berus moving to stand beside him.I remained on the floor, unsure if I would be able to stand, but also knowing that I must, I couldn’t show them how weak I truly was. I leant against the table as I stumbled to my feet, my legs unsteady and continuing to tremble, what could I possibly do now? I couldn’t fight them alone, so that meant that I must obey them, I had no o
