“MOTHER!?”
The room seemed to freeze, everything going still with the only thing I could hear being my heart drumming in my ears. I cried even harder at the sight of him, my hand moving to support my upper body yet I slipped again with my chest hitting the hardwood floor.
The door was shut with such intensity I thought it would shutter.
The chants died down, giving me the energy to slip through the floor and scurry away. I could feel the air tense all around us as the king stepped closer. I could feel my blood run cold with the king taking each step as my cries escaped my lips. My hands wrapped around my body, trying to get up but failed. I looked up, everything glassy having me take a deep breath. The king was here, I would be okay, I would be okay. I kept telling myself, my tears falling and leaving it all clear for me with the king red with fury. His jaw was so tight I thought it would snap, his hair
I lay on the bed, my arms circling around my waist with my eyes fluttering open only to close. The room was dim, only chants being heard, just drowning in my ears and blending with the nothingness that I felt. A shiver ran down my spine, goose bumps on my skin just for that second as I tightened my arms around my body, too taken to bring the cover even further up to cover my arms. There was a hole in my chest, my mind thinking and over-thinking everything.This was how my days were spent, just lying in bed blinking the daysaway with the girls chanting. I licked my lips, my heart bleeding, missing my husband, missing the man who was so weird, having me laugh all day with his weirdness. I closed my eyes, not sure what I felt really. He was turning to a ghost day by day having me scared, no longer feeling safe as I lay next to him at night. Some nights he would not come back not sure if I was relieved or frightened. I bit my lower lip, my belly round now, all
Nothing but utter silence, silence so loud it tore through my whole body. My arms were wrapped around my body, feeling so weak with my legs crossed on the floor yet my eyes never tearing from the window. Everything was so still, not a single soul heard outside with the only thing at sight being the smoke rising to the sky. My heart drummed, so afraid and heartbroken.How many had died?How many of my people had died andwho died? So many questions ranthrough my mind leaving me exhausted.“Please just tell me you are okay.” I tried again, speaking in my head, speaking to myself because all I needed was to just know if he was okay.Fear paralyzed me, what if he was hurt? Where was he? What the hell was going on? How was he doing?I closed my eyes, taking a deep breath with a heavy weight on my shoulders. I felt like death myself, the death of all the people having knocked me
The door flew open, sending all those in the room jumping up where they sat. Nothing had to be said, no words needed with all the witches getting up and rushing away from the room. The darkness had fallen on the land, claiming it even though it seemed such evil darkness had already dug it’s claws onto it already.My heart drummed with such vengeance, curled on the bed with my ankles crossed. My neck hurt, my whole body ached, nothing to do all day long than to worry, pick my thoughts apart and put them back in place. Not a single word had been uttered from my mouth, leaving it dry and ashy. My tongue darted out, hours spent to send me into madness right in the place that had once been my heaven. My outside world was turning to the same hell that existed in my brain, getting more and more unbearable.I had sat in such a position for long that I had lost the memory of how to untangle myself.A certain chill fell over
I had never been so cold in my life, legs still wide spread, looking up like a grilled turkey stuffed full. Vampir slipped from me, from the bed, leaving my shaking body there, crying my eyes out.I stared at the ceiling for so long I am sure it began shifting around. The shower ran in the bathroom until it stopped and that was when I closed my stiff legs, folding myself and just staring away. I was confused and a mess I did not even know how to sort out. The door from the bathroom opened, footsteps heard with the bedroom door opening and closing after. Just like that I was left alone, no words exchanged. Was that what we had turned to? The cold seeped even deeper, deciding to clean myself because I felt as if the blood on my skin was turning to maggots that I could not rid of.My shaking legs stepped on the floor, walking to the bathroom to lean over. I groaned as pain washed over me, another life lost just like that. It was happening all a
Days trickled away. I was not even sure how long it had been, maybe three, maybe four.My legs could barely carry me, forcing myself to even take a shower each single day. I had barely felt any of our people’s deaths during the days yet the war was heavy on, I knew. The only faces I saw were those of the witches, most of them not those I was used to and they already had too many problems than chatting with me.My body was curled on the sheets, head always pounding from over thinking, every single second spent picking my sanity apart with all my worries. All I did was blink yet my energy levels dwindled with every passing day. Something wasn’t right, I could feel it. Maybe it was my withdrawal from not seeing Vampir for so long. As dark as he was, I just missed him, our baby missed him, and overly quiet in there. I myself had not spoken a single word in so long, my lips had forgot even how to function.I felt
I felt as if my bones would pierce through my skin. No part of me did not ache, lips dry with my tongue darting out to wet them yet even that was not enough. I did not even have the strength to pull the robe that had sagged down, just an inch and my nipple would show. Silence echoed, the chanting voices carried away leaving the silence that echoed so loudly in my head. I wish I could say it was peaceful but it was far from that. I could not tell you what I was thinking or what I had been thinking all day long. A day would come now and again, whispering for me to stand up and take my shower for the day but slowly drifting away and leaving me curled where I was. My brain was convinced I would not be able to walk, my body falling into that trap with me just lying there. Even sleep ran from me, just blinking all through the hours with my eyes red, wet and sore from the abuse. My head pound hard, pounding from hunger, leaving my face feeling as if it would melt away. Two days it had been
“Isabella, where are you going?!”My head shook, it pounding, everything pounding. I was not going to sit there with my eyes wide and watch everything run into crumbles. My anger had my veins pulsing, shaking hard and cursing again for being trapped in this tiny body. My eyes took Anastasia one more time.Her shine was gone, her silver hair looking dead as she lay on the bed where she had been lying for the past three days. The tears welled up, getting angrier with me huffing out and blinking them back. I was not going to cry, I was not going to cry! My little body shook, wanting to rip the house from it’s root and throw it apart.It was all his fault, all sire’s fault. My head shook, the guilt hitting hard at even thinking such a thing about my king. The inner voice in me was already scolding me for even thinking of sire in such a way but everything was falling apart and I could not think straight. I told him, told him she needed to feed and he never listened, he never listens.My h
My little body jumped and ran. Just five minutes and I was sweating. I hated this, groaning out with my fingers digging into my palm, drawing blood. The spell fell from my lips with the air shifting all around me as I teleported. My eyes opened and I was just up a hill, looking down and seeing something I could never unsee in my life. There were so many species, some I had never even seen. My eyes were wide open, bodies all next to me, dead naked bodies of creatures killed, pale bodies with life having been sucked from their bodies.It was horror, so many of them, like millions, as if the whole universe had been called to this war.Why? Why such anger? I did not understand, species that hated each other, sworn enemies were fighting together to kill a child. It did not make sense. I shook my head, wishing I had listened, stayed away because there was no way I could even last a minute in that war yet there I was, running down the hill.I could not even see Sire, my heart pounding even

3 YEARS LATER“ The oil smells amazing, I am so addicted. Vampir is teaching me some simple magic and it’s so exciting.” I giggled out, licking my ice cream. The sun was out and just amazing to feel on the skin.“ Magic is a beautiful thing, there is no way you can not be addicted to it. Just taking the energies all around you and creating something so powerful from nature, its amazing. Learning it and raising Vampir was all that kept me sane all those years.” My mother-in-law said with me smiling and moving my hand to her shoulder.“ You did good on both aspects, look at him now, acting all grown up.” I said to her as we both burst out laughing. My heart was light, so much happiness and joy in my life.The goddess of light had gone through a mental break down when she fell from heaven. How could she not? She had left her home, and everything she knew behind. She had left her love behind, the man who made everything alright. On top of that, she had lost her powers, the core of her. A
“ Is this okay?” I asked, my heart literally beating even from my vagina with how nervous I was.“ Yes wife, you are asking me for the sixth time.” Vampir spoke out with me giggling nervously.“ I need to be sure my love, they are so tiny.” I answered back, scared I would drop my angel from my hands.Parenting with Vampir was the best thing ever. Apparently, he raised a million babies and was a pro at this. At first I was disappointed at this because I felt as if I would have loved for us to be hopeless together, not knowing what to expect and just experiencing everything for the first time together. But, him being experienced was actually helpful since I knew nothing at all about babies, never even held one and barely seen one with my bare eyes. Vampir patiently taught me, and helped me until I got it.Our little prince loved the water while our cute little princess hated the hell out of them. She cried so hard I nearly dropped her but Vampir came and whisked her away from my shaking
It was warmth like none I had ever felt. My body felt as if it was in the hands of the goddess herself. I stopped right in my train of thought as a voice echoed in my head. My head throbbed even thinking of a certain voice that had nearly tore my brain apart while trying to slip in and take control. I don’t know how but I knew it was her, I knew it was the moon goddess. Even just thinking about it nearly had me think I was crazy yet I could not shake the feeling, I just knew it was her.My body and brain were on the same line, wanting me to close my eyes and just drift back to sleep because I had never felt so good in my life. There was this sweet subtle sensation that ran all over my body. It was addictive, a certain weight over my chest that brought such sweet emotions on me.My eyes blinked open, light nearly blinding me, having me close my eyes as fast. I wanted to just drift away, let sleep take me again but my heart, it beat faster and harder. Something told me to get up, a cert
“ My queen, how is the pain like? What is it like?” I was too far gone to answer. My body pushed up, leaning on my elbows to groan out. I raised my knees, spreading them apart to groan out loud.My eyes flickered open as I heaved and cried all at once, seeing the witch queen fight with the creatures. She killed them one after another so brutally but they were multiplying, giving as good as they took from her. As lethal as she was, they were pouring all they had, their goal to rip her apart and kill her so painfully. They moved with such speed and such skill or maybe I was hallucinating, maybe I was seeing things. They moved so fast it was as if they were buzzing.Another wave of pain washed over my body, my head leaned over.“ I think the baby is pushing out my queen, you need to push,” Isabella said, running all around the bed as if she had no idea what to do. She tripped and fell off the bed with a thud, me heaving hard, the waves of pain just washing one after the other, not even g
More warmth spread over my body and there was no time to panic or fight. My hand held harder with my eyes closing. I thought it would take long, my body panicking hard but as soon as my eyes closed, the plopping sound with the crying souls echoed in the tunnel I stood at.My heart drummed hard with the creature right behind me.“ I need your help.” The words escaped my mouth immediately.“ Take this.” The man said with a hand coming from behind. Teeth had sunk deep on the wrist, blood dripping from the golden glowing skin staring right at me.His fingers were pure black, the rest of his hand and arm golden as if gold highlighter was spread on him. The darkness seemed to have crawled up his fingers over time. His arm was large and strong, veins running up, seen just from the skin. In just one squeeze he could kill me with just his arm. My heart drummed harder, knowing that this could be a trick, another creature wanting to kill my child.I don’t know why even thinking of that sent some
I woke to my waist burning. My body slightly turned from side to side and the people in the room had multiplied, all there to support; some kneeling, some on the bed with others standing. Sweat collected on my forehead, my whole body as if on fire, especially my waist. I did not know what was happening and I was trying to be positive, to be firm but it felt as if my womb was turning upside down.The fear of not knowing what was happening, the pain of thinking your baby is in pain and there is nothing you can do about it.I shifted, trying to relief the pain but nothing worked.“ Can someone please just try to get Vampir here, please.” I begged, not wanting to reveal what I was feeling but my voice was shaking along with my whole body.“ They are out searching for him my queen, they will find him.” Isabella said, me groaning.“ What is happening your majesty?” She asked with me shaking my head.“ Pain.” I whispered out, clenching my teeth.It was bad, turning to my side with it being b
The day passed with us just sitting around wide eyed, staring at the empty blood bag that sat in the dust bin brought from the bathroom. I was happy the tube was out of my body but the worry would kill me. It had been two hours, no one having said a single thing since the very last drop of blood. I felt as if my baby would just die from the lack of blood which he desperately needed. Something was just wrong, having not felt any movement or warmth from him. My hand lay on my belly, rubbing it while silently begging him to please be okay. I felt stupid and useless even thinking about it, just hoping he was okay. Each second I was breathing, I was just using so much energy and I still had not even recovered, feeling so drained, feeling so tired already. I lay back on the bed, my heart running laps in my chest. My love, please come back home, we can revenge later, for now our baby needs you. I kept saying in my head, trying to reach out to him in anyway I could but failing. “ The Quee
My baby. All I needed was for him to just tell me he was okay, that he was fine. I just needed him to say something to me, send his warmth to me so I would be assured he was okay. He was the sweetest and most loving child, after everything, still hanging on, still sending his waves of love. I missed them, I craved them, begging for them, and praying for them but they never came. He was awfully quiet and my worry just hit the roof. My heart drummed hard and the more I told myself to calm down, not wanting to stress the child, the more I panicked.“ Where is he?” The words slipped from my trembling lips. No one replied, the few people in the room just so silent as if having blended with the walls. A voice cleared yet nothing said.“ How long has he been gone?” I asked, eyes still closed with the tears still running out.“ He usually comes after a day to drop off blood but he hasn’t come your highness.” Isabella said with me nodding my head.Why hadn't he came back? What happened? Was h
