Chapter 49
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
Under Vampire Rule Chapter 52
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

I quickly stripped off and climbed into the almost scolding water, nervously watching the door as I didn’t know how long I would have alone; my heart thumping within my chest. I shook as I used a small yellow sponge to wash my blackened skin, scrubbing at the dirt until it fell into the water, I didn’t have any shampoo or body wash; supposing that was because they didn’t expect me to need it. Or perhaps they just didn’t care. I slipped under the water to wash my hair, the water darkening from the dirt that clung to me; my eyes tightly clenched shut.I heard something, like a faint voice somewhere far away; worried and panicked. I tried to listen, to find out who it was and what they were afraid off; though the room fell silent once more as I lifted my head to the surface of the water. I looked around the small chamber, wondering what had happened and who had tried to contact me.Could it have been Silas? Was he close somehow? I prayed that was t

“Quick, this way.” he whispered, pressing his hand onto a wall and moving the stone to reveal a secret passage.He pulled me into the darkness as I gasped, breathing heavily as panic swept over me, what if she found us? What would she do to me because I ran from her? I didn’t know the answers to my silent questions, but I was sure that I didn’t want to find out as Vincent shut the entrance to the secret passage; voices slowly closing in on us; the voice of Elizabeth more prominent than the rest.“Where is she?! She can’t just vanish!” She shouted loud enough for us to hear from behind the stone.My heart was thumping in my ears as I tried to control my rapid breathing, attempting to be as quiet as I could, though failing as my panic overwhelmed me. Vincent placed a hand over my mouth, pressing me hard into one of the other walls, willing me to be silent, yet; he made it harder to take each breath. His body was pressed ag

Yes, clear as day.” I whispered, knowing that the situation must have changed for the worse as I buried my head, readying myself for what was to come.“Master?” I called out with my mind, hoping he could hear me.The prince responded almost instantly, as if he was waiting for me to break the silence. “Fraulien, are you close? Where is Vincent?”“I don’t know where we are, its so dark, but we aren’t alone and I’m afraid. What if we don’t make it?” I replied, unable to hide my panic.“You will make it, I can sense where you are, we are coming. Hold on Fraulien, I wont let them take you from me again.” He reassured me, but how could he sense me?Did he really know where we are? I hoped that his words were true as I saw lights coming from deep within the woods, closing in on all sides, we were surrounded, that is what Vincent was worried about, we had no escape. If my master
