THE NIGHTMARE Chapter 51
Ivan told me, "They are ready for you, sir," and I just nodded.Are you okay?”He shook his head and glared at me inquisitively.I'll be alright.Let's get this out of the way.Ivan led me to the throne room as I slung my holster around my waist.I was honored by the vampire king as the whole high court gathered around me.With my posture straight, my head held high, and my hands gently clasped behind my back, I knelt before him.As Dragos talked about my greatest accomplishments, which made me a loyal and honorable warrior, everyone looked at me with such pride.“Valerian has successfully destroyed the witch covens that hid the pieces of the Emerald Tablet, and now I can say with pride that he has killed the most powerful High Witch Priestess and gathered information about where the final piece is!Our kingdom will soon be the most powerful among vampire kingdoms, and soon, vampires will rule the world!Before he used his blade to tap each of my shoulders, Dragos declared to the viewers.That'

He was now grunting and moaning loudly.He had completely lost track of the fact that I was there, as evidenced by his random breaths and intense stimulation."Your king,"I asked with respect, "What do you want?"He kept pushing hard into Ysanne's mouth despite his anger at the interruption."My King, we have recovered the last piece of the Emerald Tablets.It was located in a monastery in Greece that we now control.Additionally, we have eliminated every witch from that coven.Given what Ysanne's mouth was doing to Dragos' cock and his joy at hearing my news, Dragos' head dropped back.When he looked back at me, his cheeks flushed, and he grinned from ear to ear.Valerian: "You have done well.You have made me very happy because you are my most trusted soldier.“Did you hear that Witch?” he asked as he yanked Ysanne off of his cock and grabbed her by the neck.I have all of the Emerald Tablets, and you will soon carry out your most significant task for me.He then threw her onto his bed and

She wanted to know, "What do you want?""I'm here to negotiate."She rubbed her eyes.Really, oh?What do they mean?”"You will give up your first child to me if I help you escape."She gave me a bewildered glare.Why would I give you my child?"Reward for my kindness"She awkwardly fidgeted with her fingernails, and I shrugged.As she considered my proposal, she sat in mocking silence.I begged her to say yes on the inside.We only had a short amount of time, so I needed her response right away.As she massaged her forehead with her fingers, she took a painful breath."You've got a deal."I accepted her handshake and she extended it to mine.After removing the chains from her wrists, I proceeded to the stone and brick wall with the barred window that led outside.A small hole was punched into the wall by me."The extent of my kindness is this."She laughed.You must be having fun.That gap is too small for me!”"Then, I suppose you ought to begin digging,"I left the dungeon with a malicious grin

"The king believes that he picked up a magic trail from Ysanne.He wanted me to go investigate because he believes she may have regained her powers.As I put the car in drive and left the kingdom, I said robotically."You aren't telling me anything else."Ivan raised an eyebrow and leaned back against the passenger door."No, that is all.I promise."I said that proclamation like a third grader who got busted with his hand in the treat container however figured he could lie right in the clear.“Alright.For the time being, I'll act like I believe you.He laughed as he shook his head in dismay.As I channeled the tinge of magic, we drove the remainder of the way in silence.Although the pulsation became increasingly louder and clearer, I was aware that we were getting close. I had no idea where we were going.It seemed as though it wanted me to join it.I had never felt this way before with a trace.It captured my imagination.I wanted to keep it forever in my possession.My ears were muffled by th

As soon as I touched her birthmark once more, it sparked lightly as I removed my finger from her mouth with care.Ivan gave me a quick glance, as if he were pondering what he had just seen.I gave him a smile.I had already decided what I was going to do.I began making circular rubbing motions on Catelyn's birthmark and gradually increased the width of my circles.I took a deep breath after closing my eyes.As I immersed myself in our bond, I felt the warmth well up through my chest.Ivan took a few steps back from me.He didn't know what to say or do.When the pace of the energy I was harnessing reached a sufficient level, I completely ignored him and chanted a spell I remembered: "I raised both hands over Catelyn."Catelyn will, without a doubt, remain safe thanks to layers of love like onion skin, layers of safety for those within, and layers that keep harm out.The room began to vibrate with electricity.Ivan took a few more steps back behind me as Baby Catelyn widened her curious eyes.As I

make sure Catelyn was still playing safely in the garden, I looked through the trees.I only caught a glimpse of her back as her mother shamelessly called her into the cottage.My time with her was ruined by those foolish rebels.I moved the memory to a different memory that I wanted to show Catelyn.In order for her to comprehend what I had done for her throughout her entire life, there were so many situations to demonstrate to her.I wanted to ensure that the best scenes that demonstrated my intentions were shown to her.I made the decision to shift the focus of the memory to one of the occasions when her mother forgot to pick her up from school.My heart broke for her; she was about nine years old.I often considered murdering Ysanne and stealing Catelyn away in response to her mother's appalling neglect, but I always resisted.Killing her mother was not a good first step toward my goal of not making Catelyn afraid of me.As Catelyn sat on the concrete slab in front of the school, I observ

“Doing better?"Sincerely, I replied, "Yes, thank you."Before launching into an answer to my questions, he gave a calm nod:I realized that in order to keep a closer eye on you, I needed to spend more time with other people as you got older.People are consumed by the idea of being wealthy, and the wealthiest individuals generally have complete freedom of movement.I decided that it was time to start my own business in the human realm because I was getting tired of coming to see you at night or disguised."That's why you started the Restoration company group?"He nodded and said, "Yes, being close to you was the most important reason, but I had also developed a genuine curiosity about how people think and work."I set out to change the bad aspects of the health sector in your community with Restoration.For instance, in some schools and recreational activities, I had discovered a bias against sicker children.A child who has had his or her arms amputated shouldn't have to watch as his or he

“Not until I saw you...” His voice was so reassuringly reassuring.I was speechless as his revelation caused my lips to split.Even though he didn't always act in the right way, he was always charming me with his sincerity and passion. He also knew how to say the right things.I wished I could comprehend my own emotions to make him feel loved, but my feelings were so erratic.I was too ashamed to tell him a lie.I was certain there was a spark between us.But was it love, or did I really believe that we were meant to be soulmates and would spend the rest of our lives together?He approached me slowly and then knelt at my feet.I awkwardly massaged his scalp as he sat his head on my lap.As he took in my touch, he wrapped his arms around my waist.You gave me the motivation to be more than just a servant and the courage to want to make my own decisions.Why, then, would you wish me the same fate?You have taken away my freedom to make my own decisions and turned me into a servant.I made an effor

[APPRECIATION]Dear Readers, I aspired to be a writer for a significant portion of my life.It began when I was a young child. When I first started writing, I began to realize the power of words. I can recall those early days. From sonnets to brief tales, I started to string words together, making my craft gradually Even then, I realized how deeply words could connect with other people's experiences and how validating that could be.I began to write more as I got older. I wrote poetry and short stories in journal after journal. I spent every spare moment jotting down my thoughts on napkins and torn notebook pages. I was courageous in offering my work to other people, and it seemed like I could write constantly.The shift started in college. I had little time for anything other than studying and working full-time as a college student. My writing ceased gradually. I switched from undergraduate to graduate school and increased my work responsibilities.I wed someone. I had a family. Beca

“Guys, we can hear you from the reception room,” they said.We both jumped and then we burst out in laughter. Valerian lowered me to my feet, grinned like a little boy, and kissed my birthday. He danced as he dressed in his tux and he blew me a kiss before he left.“I’ll see you downstairs, Mire. Hurry down, we’ve got some unfinished business.”I sat naked for a few more minutes and thought of the turn my life had taken. Dragos was gone, I was about to marry the man I loved, and we already had a baby on the way. I giggled in delight, hopped off the bed, and started to get dressed.I walked down the stairs ten minutes later and was delighted to find the staircase decorated with flowers. Rafael was going to give me away, and he smiled when he saw me coming down. I held my flowers with my left hand and extended my right to him.“Are you ready to become our new Vampire Queen?” he asked.I smiled as I hooked my arm around his. “I have never felt more alive. Or more ready, Rafael.”Rafael g

[Epilogue]2 MONTHS LATERMy wedding dress was draped over the armchair next to the window. The curtains were drawn slightly and Valerian’s tux had been folded away neatly into the top drawer in our room. There were representatives of the twelve most powerful vampire covens downstairs, and the witches took quiet tours of our home as they waited for the ceremony to begin.I lay naked on the bed, wearing only my diamond ring and bridal garter. Valerian’s head was buried in between my legs. My head fell back on the pillow and I cupped my left breast, rolling the nipple around with perfectly manicured fingers. Valerian was stark naked and his tongue pushed in deeper with each moan that escaped my lips.I looked down my belly and I met his eyes. They glinted wickedly as Valerian thrust his tongue in deeper. I fell back to the bed, grabbed the bedsheets with both hands and arched my back. Valerian pushed me to the edge, brought me back, and pushed me right back. My hair stuck to the sweat o

The thought was a balm for my grief. For a long while, I just rested in Ivan’s arms, tears soaking what was left of his torn and bloody clothes. I felt him crying too.“There feels like something is missing from me,” Ivan confessed.“Me too,” I said. “I feel like I will never again be whole, despite this power that flows through me.”I turned around. “Thank you for everything you suffered for me. I know you went through a lot. How are your hands?” He raised them to show her that the wounds he received from the spear were still not healed.“I can help you with that,” I said, and took his hands in mine. I closed my eyes and once again accessed the power that felt like an inferno in my body. I rubbed the wounds, and they slowly closed under my touch.I then focused on his other wounds. I sent waves of my healing power flowing through his whole body. I saw other cuts and scrapes close. His cheeks also regained their colour.“Thank you,” Ivan said. “One rogue stabbed me in my side. I thoug

I glared at Dragos and he gave me a cocky smile. I gave him the same smile right back. I was going to defeat this Vampire King, one way or another.I let all the anger and hate I felt for Dragos flow through my body and into the Emerald Tablet. I felt my bond with Valerian fading away, and the fear of losing him threatening to split my soul in two. I tried to steady my nerves as I locked my eyes on Dragos’.His smirk was gone now, his arms suspended directly above his armour where it hung, as if he couldn’t decide between letting it hang there or picking it up to wear it again. He looked worried and concerned as he looked around him. He might have sensed that I was connecting to the Emerald Tablets, but I didn’t think he knew that I was harnessing the One Power. I was stealing his dream from right in front of him, and the thought warmed me.I felt the energy I had directed to the Emerald Tablet flood back into my body. It started in my fingertips and didn’t stop until it had spread to

I looked around to see if anyone around me could help. I saw Ivan out of the corner of my eye, fighting some invisible force, as was Rafael. They appeared pinned where they stood, with Ivan having a sword in hand poised to pierce someone, but he wasn’t moving. Rafael looked like he was running towards me, but his feet seemed glued to the floor. Both were totally unable to help Vale and I. Still the witches’ chanting continued, and I knew they were responsible for holding my two friends in place.Was there a way I could stop the witches? I looked around for anything to help. There were no weapons nearby, except for the sword piercing Valerian’s heart. I was too afraid of pulling it out. I figured that would only make his blood loss increase, causing him to die quicker.I looked back towards Ivan and Rafael. Rafael met my eyes, and I could sense that he still cared for and loved me. He had tried his hardest to defend me, but that plot also failed. I felt hopeless and leaned back over Va

I focused on the faces of Valerian’s soldiers who I had grown to love. I focused on the clashing of their swords and the flood of relief I had felt when Rafael barged into the room with those familiar faces behind him. I focused on Ivan and Balrus, but most of all I let my love for Valerian well up in my mind. Like a cool stream of water, I felt it pool up and gently flow through my head, seizing my mind power back from the spells being cast by the witches. I couldn’t reach out to Valerian through our bond. Something or someone seemed to be blocking our connection, but I wasn’t worried. I knew that whatever spell that was, it could only last for so long. “Once I end Dragos’ life,” I thought, “this sandstorm will clear and everything else will return to normal.”I regained control of my thoughts and I instantly began to feel better. My senses opened up once more, and I was able to fully sense the movement all around me. Someone ran past me, knocking their shoulders into mine, and I was

Dragos looked down at his armour angrily. He had likely paid a pretty penny for that armour or, more likely, he had stolen it. It might be ornate, but it did its job. I could not get any successful body shots in. Neither I, nor Valerian and Ivan, had armour on, so we were much more vulnerable to his attacks, and Dragos knew it.I assessed the room. Valerian was finally rising from the ground and was readying himself to begin attacking his sire again. Ivan was leaning heavily on the marble platform I had been laying on. Too much blood loss. I am not sure how I did it, but I sent a wave of energy to both Valerian and Ivan and watched them perk up in seconds. Both stood straighter and their eyes glistened with uncontrolled rage.Valerian began approaching Dragos at a run, but Dragos merely raised his hand and said, “Stop, Valerian.” And, against his will, he was once again under mind control. But I could feel he was defeating it through our mind link. He was focusing on me in his mind. I

The vampire fell, clutching at his chest as he struggled to breathe.“Thank you,” I said, my voice overwhelmed with gratitude. “you just saved my life.”Ivan flashed me his signature smile and shrugged. “That was nothing, you would do the same thing for me.”We stood back to back and watched the vampire guards box us in a circle. Somewhere in the background, I heard Valerian and Dragos grunting and hitting each other brutally. I didn’t turn around to see, there were about sixteen vampires surrounding Ivan and I, so I couldn’t afford the distraction.One of them suddenly ran towards Ivan. The guy went to step around him, his arm stretched out, trying to grab me. “Let him go!” I screamed.I shot out flames in the shapes of little daggers and I aimed it right. I hit him in the temple, causing him to bounce off the wall and drop like a puppet with its strings cut.Ivan turned to the vampire nearest to the fallen guy. “This is your final chance. Pick up your trash and leave. Or don’t, and
