EMMA
After a while, it feels like Ali is burning up; I put my book down, move Ali's head, get to my feet and then pick her up. I carry her to the bathroom, turn on the shower and step in, allowing the cold water to wash over both of us.
It works and Ali's temperature comes down a little. I snap my head to the door as I hear someone knock. I put Ali down, making sure she is still under the cold spray, step out of the shower, grab a towel, and head to the door. I open the door and immediately lower my eyes as I say,
"Sir..."
He pushes past me and hisses, "Where is she?"
"Sir?"
I ask in question; he turns back to me and grabs me by the throat, pulling me up so that my feet are now dangling as he hisses again,
"Ali? Where is she?"
"B... Ba... Bathroom..." I rasp out, still not looking into his eyes.
He drops me and storms off into the Master's bedroom and then into the bathroom. I don't move. I hear the wate
EMMA I finally manage to open my eyes and I move slightly to actually see the two talking, but it makes me whimper. They stop talking and move over to where I am lying. I see Finn first and relax a little as he was the one who let me down and then I see him. I know I should keep my eyes down as he doesn't know what I am, but seeing Norman standing behind him I can’t stop the fear running through me and my body stiffens if he notices he doesn't let on as he says, "Em, how are you feeling?" "S... S... Sore..." He chuckles, as I continue, "W... Where am I?" "You are still in His Highness's chambers." Norman's voice comes from behind him, answering me. I go to move, but Finn places his hand on my shoulder, applying a little pressure, holding me to the bed as he says, "Don't move, you are not healed yet..." "I have to... I have work to do... Madam Eve will be mad..." I see Norman smirk, "She has spirit, this one..." "It's okay, Em. Madam Eve knows you are not well... Rest, we wo
JEREMIAHI can tell the blood is fresh, as I can smell it. I pick it up and down it in one. I look over at Amelia as she giggles."What?" I question as I raise my eyebrow at her."It looked like you hadn't had a drink in weeks, not just hours... Or just had to drink something that you despised."I smirk at her as she leans forward and lifts the lid off of her breakfast, her plate is stacked high with pancakes, eggs, bacon, tomato, mushrooms, waffles and anything else you could think of having on your breakfast table.I take the lid off of mine and then once she had taken a small bite from hers; I dig into mine. She giggles and I look over at her. I finish mine and watch as Amelia finishes hers. I then make her scream as I get to my feet, pull her to hers and then throw her over my shoulder.I walk with her into her bed-chambers and throw her onto the bed. I remove my shirt and my pants before walking up to the bed. I reach d
JEREMIAH I stir a little as the bed seems to move and a warm body slides in next to me. It feels wonderful, and that scent is back tenfold. I wait for her to stop moving and then I wrap my arms around her, pulling her tight into my body. I then take a deep breath and slip back into the darkness.I wake with the craving; it is made even more potent with the movement of the warm body. I still have my arms wrapped tightly around. I feel my fangs lengthen and start kissing her neck. I whisper against her skin,“You are already warm, my princess. I like it.” I am a little surprised when she lets out a moan and tilts her head just a little, allowing me more access. She had never done that before, but I am not one to complain. I smile against her skin and then slowly sink my fangs in and start drinking. She moans again and I can't believe the wonderful taste that explodes in my mouth with my first pull.I take slow pul
EMMA I woke early the next evening and start my schedule, as I am still really sore. I noticed last night that it took me a little longer than normal to finish and be back at the Master's chambers before dawn.I managed to get my entire schedule done both evenings without running into Norman or him calling me into his office. I finish up and, as usual, Finn is waiting just outside the door of my last chamber. I am still a little weary of him as he walks with me to clock out and then escorts me back to the Master's chambers. I thank him as I do every morning and then enter the chambers.I am surprised that the Master's scent is much stronger this morning; I head into the bathroom and have a quick, hot shower again. Once done, I wrap a towel around me and walk into the bedroom; I look at the end of the bed and realise that my nightdress has been moved and is now lying on the pillows. I grab it and slip it on. As I pull back the blankets and climb
EMMA I shiver at the thought of what he did while Ali was with me in his office and then with what he did to me after Ali went into her heat; I look at Ali and whisper, "Ali, you need to be careful and you need to keep an eye on him. When he attacked me in the Master's chambers, he said that he had been waiting 20 years for you to enter your heat so that he could claim you..." "Who are you talking about?" I jump at the sound of Finn's voice coming from the door. I feel the waves of anger come off of him as he storms over. I let go of the blanket and scrambled off of the chase we were sitting on. I keep moving backward until my back hits the wall. I then bring my knees up tight to my chest and whisper, "I'm sorry, sir, please don't hurt me... I'm sorry!" I jump and whimper as a hand touches the top of my head. "Em... Em... It's okay, he won't hurt you..." "Yes, he did and will again... Just like the Master... Just like Norman..." I say as I sob and shake my head, not really thi
EMMA A week after the Mater returned Norman corner me once more in one of the guest chambers that I entered after cleaning the Master’s chamber and he had been in there checking on the Master. I try to keep my scream in as he grabs my wrists, clamping something around one of them as he walks me backward until my back hits the wall. I whimper as he transfers one of my wrists into the grip he has on the other.I whimper more and more as he runs his now free hand down my body. I can’t stop the tears, and he just smirks. I try to contact Odette, but she doesn’t seem to be there. I can’t believe she has deserted me. I gather whatever courage I have, which unfortunately it’s not much, and my voice only comes out as a whimper as I say,“Don’t touch me... That hurts… Leave me alone...”He lets out a low chuckle, skimming his lips over my skin, making it burn and feel like someone is ri
JEREMIAH All I see is darkness, I call out, but no one seems to hear me or answer. That is until the most wonderful scent surrounds me. I feel the most softest of touches and wrap my arms around it. Then it doesn’t seem to matter that I am in that darkness as she is with me. She stays with me for I don’t know how long and then disappears.I search through the darkness, inhaling deeply and reaching out, hoping to find her scent or her touch. It seems like a lifetime before it seems to return. My soul seems to relax, as that scent and touch surrounds me once more. I hold it, hold her tight to me once more and notice that while she is within my embrace, the darkness is fading, and a soft light eliminates from her. Then she is gone again.I don’t know how long this keeps going for, but every time I have my arms around her, her touch and her scent make the darkness fade and my surroundings seem to get brighter. I then feel her leav
JEREMIAH I feel my anger still rising as he continues, “When I fought you, it was not you… And the fact that I managed to get the better of you was proof of that…” “Still, she is mine, and you had no right to interfere…” I feel my eyes flash, and a wave of very strong anger overtakes me. I don’t think I just lunge at him. I connect with his jaw before he realises what is happening, but it doesn’t take long for him to block and fight back. We go back and forth, dodging and hitting. I am taken by surprise when he manages to hit me hard in the side of the jaw, knocking me to the floor, where I then hit the back of my head. He steps back, still in his fighting stance but not attacking me anymore, but then I was the one to attack him, not the other way round. I go to get up when I am hit by an agonizing sharp pain that rips through me, starting at my head and going down through the rest of my body. I am quickly surrounded by darkness. I am floating through my memories, seeing them pla
