Forty twoDraculDarkThere was no other way to describe it, Elena face had blurred in and out of existence and for a moment I felt myself taste the sweetness that was her.And then darkness, stifling crazy darkness, I lost track of how long I must have called out into it, to the nothingness, I knew I was here, just didn't know where, it seemed like forever in this little trap that seemed concocted to drive me nuts."Weakkkk!!!" A cold voice hisses through the darkness, cold and slithery like a snake with the subtle underlay of malevolent intention"Who are you?" I ask baring out my fangs, my eyes giving a faint illumination to thick suffocating darkness."Put those toys away." The voice snarled and I was instantly wracked with intense spasms of pain. "You can't even stand up to the effects of dragonsbane and you'd seek to bare your claws at me!"Another intense spasm of pain wracks me and I buckle on my knees."Insolent fool!" The voice snaps at me before falling back into a deviant
Chapter forty threeElenaIt didn't take quite long for me to figure out that Gulliver was a mage, with all the spell casting and his rather impeccable affinity for magic, it did baffle me that he was this close with Dracul seeing that it was the rise of his species that brought about the downfall of his.There was no time to pry though, things were heating up and fast, Gulliver's wards were strong around his house, obscuring and dematerializing it from intruders but everyday they inched closer, looked in a little deeper and I wondered just how long we had until we became unsafe.And then there was him, popping up out of the blue with mentions of 'The Witch', I shouldn't have been skeptical, every information was crucial in possibly preserving Dracul's life and yet I couldn't help but distrust his loyalties, these were trying times and I was determined not to fuck up again.Whatever Gulliver had done for Dracul, it worked tremendously well, he was on his feet in a week and building up
Chapter 44DraculThe feelings of ecstasy faded away the minute we opened the door, ominous energy seeped in like a mist, instantly feeding the room an intense sense of dread. "What is this?" I growl at Gulliver whilst clutching Elena close, the need to protect her dominant over my other senses. "What sort of spell is this?" "Are you truly that disoriented that you cannot smell the source of the magic?" He asks quizzically. "While you guys were here getting properly fucked."He takes a slight pause looking us once over and Elena ducks her head behind me, positively blushing. "I took the time to have a little chat with our current 'guest" and you won't believe what I managed to find out.""He's a spy sent here to trick us." Elena says simply. "You take the fun out of everything." Gulliver sneers but not in an unfriendly manner. "Come on, let's go exorcise the bloody fuck out of him""Exorcise?" I ask raising a brow. "Yes." He says grabbing the nearest vial of what seemed to be a c
ElenaA hard hand clamped over my mouth, pulling me abruptly from behind Dracul, I struggled hard against my captors, but the strong hands clasped harder pulling me farther and farther away from Dracul until we were tucked out of sight.I struggled harder and a groan came from behind me. "I see why he likes you." Ryder's chilling voice stopped me cold. "Maybe I'll tap that little ass after we kill that weakling of a king, to show you how a real dragon works."He tugged me back and I felt a hard length rest against me. "Come on." He says. "Wiggle against me."I jerked my head back and there was an audible crunch as my head caught his nose squarely. "Bloody bitch!" He groans. "I'm gonna-""Ryder!" Delan calls sternly. "Now is not the time, let's get rid of a certain pest first.""Yes." He whispers against me. "How would you like to watch your Dracul die!"He dragged me off despite my struggling, his cold laughter combined with my utter helplessness infuriating me. He brought me to th
DraculMy eyes bored in heavily on Elena as Ryder and Delan spontaneously caught on fire, some paranoid part of me still wanting to hold on to the image of the unforgiving untameable sorceress that she'd transformed into. I don't know how long I must have stared until our eyes locked, there were no words exchanged between us, but my look must have conveyed all that I thought.She turned quickly from me before I could glimpse her emotions, whispering something to the nearest guards before being abruptly whisked away, I wanted to follow, needed to, the beast within me growling and purring to make things right instantly."Where are you going?" Gulliver says grasping my hand tightly. "For the love of Sanity, Am i the only normal person here?, What do you think the people will say, leaving them in such an uproar?"His words made sense and at the same time it didn't to me, in the end it would seem that Gulliver's rationality won out, and I stayed, I have no recollection of what I said, but
ElenaSomething was horribly wrong, I could explain it because I didn't truly understand it myself, intuition had never been one of my strong suits, but now the feeling that dread burned hard at the back of my throat washing away the anger and despair, inexplicably I found myself on my feet, treading through the halls that I'd sought solace from, the feelings within me grew from an itchy discomfort to something unbearable. I toppled to the ground just as strong arms reached out to catch me. "Elena." I hear Gulliver's worried voice float over to my ears. "What's going on? Are you alright?""Trouble." I mutter weakly "Dracul, we need to find Dracul!"Using whatever's left of my strength, I push past his strong arms and walk towards the direction which the sensation drags me towards, Gulliver trails closely behind me offering what could be described as mildly irritating yet worried advice."Elena I really think-" he beganHis words stopped short, as we came to the foot of my door, two d
Dracul."Rise and shine sleepyhead." A voice calls me out from underneath the murky depths of unconsciousness. My eyes open up tenderly at first to the sight of Elena smiling back at me. "Elena." I call out, my vision still a bit clouded. "Where the fuck am I?""Elena's not here." Came the cold voice. "I'm afraid you'll have to make do with me."The coldness of the voice, like iron pikes slithering over my heart, this wasn't waking up to the life back at the castle, the vileness in her tone was the very spike of adrenaline my body needed jarring me awake as well whatever dormant memory laid in my head. "Who the fuck are you?" I growl. "Where the fuck am I?"Her eyes twinkle viciously and a hint of a smile plays upon her face. "Finally." She sighs. "We're getting somewhere, do you need a minute more because by now you'd have begun-""I'll have your head off your bloody neck." I growl rushing up at her only to be pulled back by luminescent chains. "That." She finished her statement
CHAPTER FORTY NINEElenaMinutes slipped into hours which slipped into days which slipped into God knows what, my only comprehension of time seeming to be the constant rise and fall of daylight and darkness and even that slowly began to resemble figments of my imagination.Training was rigorous still becoming even more intense after my little stunt with the fireball, I was a bit relieved Gulliver wasn't around for this bit, though I'd bet he'd gotten tired of seeing me fumble up and landing on my keister on a constant basis, he'd taken a break going back to see how things were being run in Dracul's absence. Dracul, the mere thought of him sent mixed emotions accompanied by a discomforting chill down my spine, I wondered how he was faring, if he was faring at all, of late I'd begun to wonder just if he was still-"You're brooding again and playing with dinner again." Gammy tells me, her eyes sparkling from the other side of the table. "Your one man monologue won't bring you any closer
