Vastria awoke in her bed. The room was dark. Still laying in bed she looked around noticing all her curtains were pulled shut. Her body felt so heavy that she could not lift her head to get a better look of her room. Light shown at the corner of her room as the sun tried to peer into the darkened room. It seemed to be the only source of light. She looked down to herself, someone changed her clothes to a white gown. Vastria heard a shifting noise and looked to the direction of that noise. Her father sat in the seat at mini seating area of her room. He was reading something on a device. Feeling her gaze, Vastria’s father turns his head to the bed finding his daughter has woken up. He stood placing his device on the couch. “My daughter you are awake. How are you feeling?” He briskly strode to Vastria’s side. “Why is it so dark in the room?” She asked.“You needed your rest, so I had your room darkened. The sun is already up. How are you feeling this morning?”Vastria sat up slowly in be
The dining room looked like a mad house massacre from a horror movie. Remus slowly let go of his embrace of Vastria watching her. Her gaze was locked on the bodies scattered around the dining room. Both stood in a pool of blood; both covered in blood of demons. Vastria stared at the corpse of Eldrid saddened that she had killed him, but just like she had before, she wanted to hide the fact she was interested in death. Even though she could not see his face, she knew what it looked like, horror filled with agony as she had ripped his still beating heart out. She looked to the ripped bodies scattered, torsos of maybe ten demons. An arm laid in the sandwich tray and intestines stuck on the wall slowly sliding to the floor. Remus turned to Vastria’s father as Vastria was looking around the room trying to stay calm. “Lord Rothcas, what happened? How did this all start.”Lord Rothcas had to shake his attention from the horrors of his own daughter as she watched her look around the room. “A
In her room, Vastria was taken to the bathroom by the maid, Izbeth. The maid started the bath, filling it up and urged Vastria to undress. Vastria obliged undressing. The maid ushered Vastria into the shower to rinse off first assisting with getting the blood and pieces of demon within Vastria’s hair. The water turned red soon as Vastria stood in the running water. It swirled at her feet going down the drain. She could smell the blood that had partly dried on her skin.Vastria settled in the hot waters of the tub set by the maid. “Lady Vastria, is the water too hot?” The maid asked. “No this is fine; I like it this steamy”Vastria relaxed in the tub her eyes closing as the maid assisted in scrubbing her body. The maid started to massage her shoulders. “Lady Vastria, are you feeling okay? I am aware of the incident in the dining room. You are free to talk to me if you feel like it.”Vastria looked to Izbeth while relaxing in the tub soaking in the steamy hot water. “Am I a monster now
In the library, Remus was thumbing through some of the books on the shelves behind the study desk. The door to the library opened as both Vastria and her father entered. Remus placed the books back onto the shelf to meet with Vastria and her father.The library was massive, about three stories tall. The stairs to get to the next floor were placed on either side of the rooms. Each floor had study tables with lamps. The study table on this first floor was at the floor’s center. Couches were placed on either ends of the study desk with a floor lamp overlooking the couch. Vastria was in awe as she entered the room, looking around. There were so many books in this library, just as much as a real library. Remus stared at Vastria as she looked about the room. Something was different about her. It was at least four hours since he saw her back in the dining room with the incident. Her powers must have been released. The air around her feels different. Is this the magical power she possesses? I
It took a little over two hours for Vastria to explain about what she learned about her powers while in her own psyche to her father and Remus. She could only describe it as moldable. What ever she wanted to do, the thought of how to do it will automatically pop into her mind. Remus concluded that the best way was to look up a few spell books and test Vastria’s abilities. Of course, Vastria agreed. She too wanted to learn more about her abilities and its limits. The only thing on her mind was to try and find her friend. She walked into her room finding all her stuff from her dorm were placed neatly in her room. On her bed sat two stuffed bears. The very same ones Vastria and Meagan won at the carnival. Vastria’s heart dropped seeing Meagan’s pink and grey bear placed next to her red and black bear. Vastria walked to the bed and took the two bears in her lap staring at them lost in thought. Where could Meagan be? Why would she leave behind this bear? She really wanted it when we went
Vastria awoke the next morning anxious, tossing and turning throughout the night. She was worried about her friend, Meagan. For some reason she expected for friend found, but it has not been a full day of searching. Her father sent some of his staff to search for Vastria’s friend with the description provided by Vastria the night she asked for help to find her friend. She barely could sleep that night thinking of the possibilities. Meagan was someone close to Vastria she could not live without. Where could she be? She must okay. What if she awoke in the middle of being transported to that vampire facility I awoke at? No…. Please nothing had happened to her that way. Vastria sat crossed legged in her bed in a flowy white sleeping gown holding onto the two stuffed bears from the carnival. Her room was still dark, and she could not tell what time it was. She did not have a clock in her new room. The sun started to shine through the cracks made at the edges of her curtains as the soft b
Vastria was making her way to the library to read some books when she realized Elcid has been following her. She turned to Elcid, “I am just going to the library. You do not need to come with me Elcid. I will be fine. I just want to take some time alone in the library.”Elcid nodded and bowed to Vastria, “If you need me, my lady, please do not hesitate to call for me.”“Will do, thank you Elcid.”Elcid turned back and disappeared around the corner back towards the dining room. Vastria sighed relieved she could be alone as she opened the door to the library and walked in. The room smelled of books, the very same smell you get while walking into a public library. She looked around wondering where to start, so she perused all the sections starting on the first floor. She came across a few books on spells she thought might be useful on the top floor of the library. Thumbing through it, she found a section about wolves and transmutations/transformations. It told about the testing witches h
“What the fuck you ask? Meagan, what the fuck indeed. I have been so fucking worried about you. What the fuck happened at the carnival that night. I have so much questions now. You are a werewolf? You kept this from me? We are supposed to be friends.” Vastria could not stop herself. She was now thinking her father was right about her friend. Her friend kept this secret from her this whole time. Vastria wanted to say more, but Meagan jumped forward and covered Vastria’s mouth to silence her. “Just shut up, will you? Or do you want the demons to hear.”Vastria pulled away upset with Meagan. “Why are you so worried about the demons. They are not going to harm me or us right now. Honestly, how can I trust you right now. You literally tried to charge at me in your wolf form. Did you arrange that kidnap with the vampires? I want answers dammit!” “Okay fine. Vastria, we were never friends.” Meagan stepped back composing herself. Vastria stopped and just stared at Meagan. “So now you must
Where are you? Vastria asked Remus telepathically. Vastria looked around for Remus passing the entrance to the bar room on the vampire side. I am in the bar room with a few guests. Want to help me get out of here? I could use the help.
“Welcome everyone to tonight’s banquet. Why all the long faces? Come now. After tonight, our two nations will be joined in a truce agreement. It is a time for celebrations. Please mingle and eat to your hearts content.” Remus’ father came walking to Vastria, his son and lady Arnenas. Vastria’s father followed him. “Agreed. Please everyone, enjoy the night. after tonight the demon realm will be working with the vampire nation. Tonight, w
Vastria stared at herself in the mirror sighing. Remus waited for her at the stairs, but she was not ready. She was nervous. She knew that tonight would be a difficult night. A full banquet with vampires, demons, and werewolves all joined together. She could hear small orchestra music coming from downstairs. It was music that she was never into, but it was music that was appropriate for the occasion. She sighed again looking at herself before leaving her room. She made su
“Do I really need to wear a dress?” Vastria asked as her room was filled with dresses for her to choose from. They were sent to her by Remus’ mother. He came with every delivery she sent except this last dress deliver. For the past few days, his mother sent her dresses, and she did not like any of them. She did not care for dresses. “Lady Vastria, this is a banquet after all. You must wear a dress.” Elcid was spreading out the dresses before her on the clothing racks. “Do you
Elcid rushed back to the mansion after leaving Meagan at the park. She knew she would be fine on her own to get back to her apartment or where she was staying that night. It was lucky her informant found her before she was taken by the rogue vampires. She could not use a demon portal, but she was able to speed run to her car parked a few blocks away. As she drove home, she decided to send her lady a message to update her.
I cannot believe I did that. My parents have disowned me, and my pack banished me because I tried to reason with them about Vastria.I personally trust everything about Vastria, but those wretched demons. They literally sold her to the vampires. Vile wretched vampires that is going to use her.
The demon portal opened up at the center of the garden where the pond was. Vastria’s father and his servants waited for their return. Her father pacing clearly angered. He stopped as he saw the portal and waited. Remus stepped out, then Vastria and Elcid close behind. The demon portal of black mist dispersed soon as they exited the portal. Vastria’s father did not know what to say at first. He had many thoughts, but seeing her daughter finally back brought relief. He sighed and walked to his daughte
As Vastria started to say her farewells to Meagan’s parents and the elders, she felt a pull on her mind. Where are you?She knew who it was. What do you mean, Remus? The others around her did not know why she fell silent all of a sudden. They watched her questioning. They were not sure if they should interrupt, but Elcid knew what could have been going on. “Please excuse my lady Vastria. She just received a message via telepathy.” They looked to Elcid as she tried to apologize
Mishna and Astar led Vastria and Elcid to the center of the village. All the wolves were gathered there. As they reached, the wolves turned and stared at them, at Vastria and Elcid. They did not understand why demons were there that night. Three elderly werewolves were at the most center sitting down. Soon as they saw them, they stood up. They were discouraged. They heard about two demons being in the village but did not believe it until they saw Vastria and Elcid. Astar and Mishna brought Vastria and Elcid dir
