Chapter 59
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

I quickly turned my attention towards the wound that oozed with blood even now, hoping I could remove the entirety of the diamond with just one hand, my broken arm hanging uselessly by my side. I wanted to clench my eyes shut, I wanted to shy away from the blood, but that would not help Vincent, it would not bring him back from the brink of death. I wished that I was someone else, that I wasn’t the prince’s slave, but that would never be so, this was the way my life had intended to go, and there was no point in crying over it now, that would not change it. Nor would it make my life any easier.I took a deep breath, carefully picking away at the pieces of diamond as I cauterised each section of the wound, ensuring that I left no diamond behind, Vincent cried in anguished pain, his form shaking and trembling under my power, much like I had under Silas’ his cries increasing with each passing moment. I tugged on yet another piece of t

Vincent nodded, moving to sit on the edge of the bed as Silas turned his attention back towards me, something which I had been dreading. I lowered my eyes to the stone floor when his gaze locked onto my trembling form, not knowing what he would force me to endure next, my heart racing within my chest. He lifted me from where I knelt with ease, quickly removing me from the cell before I even had a chance to utter goodbye to Vincent.We were both silent as he carried me back through the castle, back towards the elegantly decorated cell in which I would remain until I was needed. Once there, Silas placed me onto the soft bed, looking down at me as though I should thank him for what he had done. My mind pushed his away, I didn’t want him to know what I was feeling, and I certainly didn’t want him to hear my thoughts of him right now. That would only cause me more pain.He had been so nice in the early days, well as nice as a vampire

I startled awake, unsure of where I was, my head throbbing as I moaned in pain, my body tense and weak. I fought hard to remember why I was in pain, knowing that it had something to do with the prince, he did something to me, I felt different. I wasn’t sure what exactly had changed, but I was certain that it couldn’t be good. He … He had taken some of my blood and replaced it with his own to help my arm heal quicker, but he had taken too much; more than he needed to for the transfer of strength. I turned to look down at my arm, the flesh still slightly swollen, but as I tested my fingers and bent it at the elbow, I realised that it was healed, that the bone and muscles had mended.I stretched, wincing at the sharp pain in my head, suspecting that my body was scolding me for using up all my strength, I had overexerted myself and now I hurt. But that didn’t mean I could stay in bed until the pain was gone, after spending a night in the dun

“I see.” She muttered, pausing for a moment. “Are you branded?”I winced but bobbed my head as if saying “yes” positive that my mouth would betray me if I spoke. I couldn’t reveal my hatred for Silas, what if he found out?“Where?” she asked softly, a pained glint in her eyes.I pulled down the collar of the dress slightly, revealing the top of the brand and the blisters that surrounded it, but again; I didn’t dare speak.She shook her head as if in anger, “My daughter can’t be much older than you, what are you seventeen?”“Fifteen, my birthday is in the summer.” I said as I glanced around, a terrible feeling that someone was watching us plaguing my mind, my voice barely coming out as a whisper.“Jesus, fifteen and branded.” She gasped in disbelief, “Wh

We moved quickly through the crowd, dodging the many bodies that filled the room, eyes falling in my direction for only a second; though I knew from the warning that I couldn’t meet their gazes. I had to play the part of a good slave. The prince stopped at a small step, his seat high above the others and ushered me to go first; my head low as I climbed it without hesitation and took my place to the right of the high-backed chair. I knelt as fast as I could whilst attempting to remain somewhat graceful, my head low and I clenched my eyes shut, I had never been in the presence of so many high-class vampire families before. The pounding of my own heart in my ears reminding me of how mortal I was and how easily they could kill me should that be what they wished.Even as I wanted to pretend that I was strong, that I had a special power that would protect me, I doubted that I would be able to take two of them down before I was swarmed. There must be at least thi
