Chapter 54
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

I fought against those who held me down, my entire form thrashing in desperation, I had to save him, I had to help the only person in this whole country who risked his life to try and take me home. I stopped suddenly, my entire body becoming still, as though something was preventing me from aiding him in any way I could; though that wasn’t the case. The power within me snapped, forcing its way to the surface before I could comprehend what was happening; my body like lava to touch causing the vampires who held me down to pull back in shock and fear. It all happened within a split second, it was as though sunlight had shot across the sky in the dead of night; throwing the two vampires back into nearby trees as they screamed in anguish; their bones snapping along with the branches as the others attempted to put out the flames.Fire as dangerous and as unpredictable as the actual sun seeped from my body and I slowly used the strength from it to stand, slowly stepping forwar

I shuffled slightly in what felt like a large bed, much comfier than the one I had been forced to sleep on in the Phantomhive’s home; sighing happily as I could feel that my master was nearby. I pulled the soft duvet towards my shoulders, smiling slightly as I pulled myself away from the sleep that threatened to consume me.“I see you are comfortable in your new chamber Fraulein.” I sensed a smile in his tone as he spoke, he seemed to be as happy as I was; it was good to be back at the castle.“Yes, very much so.” I looked around the room as I rubbed the sleep from my eyes. “Which room is this, mine didn’t look like this?”I giggled slightly at the wonderful deep purple walls and a built in mahogany wardrobe, with drawers to match. The floors were a simple violet shade, the thick carpet soft and welcoming against my bare feet as I climbed from the bed. I looked down to see

I felt he meant every word he spoke, but I still would not allow him to feel what I did, I wouldn’t allow him to feel the anger and sadness within me. I focused my blurring gaze onto the carpet, how can he be so kind in one breath and then a brute in the next? He hadn't even asked about my friend Blanche. He didn’t even care that she hadn't been in the woods with me, all he wanted was me for my power. He craved it like all the rest. Maybe it would have been better if I had died in her place. Maybe then, I would know peace.“I do not belong to anyone, I have my own mind, my own reasoning; and unless that is stripped from me. I will NEVER succumb.” I whispered harshly, barely even considering the consequence of my words.“YOU ARE MINE!” Silas bellowed, ripping me from the ground by my hair and slamming my back against the bed post.I growled in pain and anger. “I AM MY OWN.”

I shivered against the cold, had I made a mistake by standing my ground, should I have yielded when he ordered me to do so? I never knew where I stood in his eyes, he has always been so hot and cold with me; but now I knew this was it. I had a decision to make.One that quite literally meant life... or death.Time drew on in the cell my arm agonising whenever I attempted to move it, yes, I could heal some wounds; but bones, that was something I had yet to master. I curled up into a ball on my side, sobbing silently as I attempted to keep myself warm, unable to do so as I could not call on my power. The room seeming to be closing in all around me. I could have transformed perhaps, maybe into a bat, but with my arm lying broken and twisted beside me, I wouldn't have been able to fly. No matter what I transformed into, the shattered limb would follow.How much more of this could I take, how much torment did I

“Show me.” was all he said, and I obeyed.I entered Vincent’s mind without a second thought, the agonising torment he was in, wounding me. All I wanted to do was help him, I just wanted to repay the life debt I owe. I pushed the thoughts of me and the prince to the very depths of Silas’ mind, and as I suspected, there was no ill intentions in his thoughts. In fact, he was worried for my safety rather than his own, he knew I was down here with him, he could sense it and he wondered what I had been exposed to. As though he knew I was in pain.I couldn’t hold the power for long, my entire form trembling from the fight I had endured with Vincent’s sister, but I’m sure the prince had all he needed to decide. I pulled my mind back, but before I did, I softly sent a message to the Phantomhive; ‘please hold on, I will come to you’.I knew that he would be confused, he didn&rs
