I yelped slightly, his grip tight on my left arm as he began dragging me down the hall; I could sense the fury in his mind, the thoughts that I was too disobedient and I shouldn’t talk back to a vampire. Especially not a vampire prince.
He growled again, throwing me over his shoulder, my stomach hitting his bone, making me queasy and sore. He thought I was walking too slow, he didn’t have time to mollycoddle me, he needed me to learn how to control my powers.
He needed me to be obedient and quiet. He couldn’t handle a disobedient witch, and he certainly didn’t want one under his command, he wanted me to be a good witch, one that would not question him. But I wasn’t sure I could do that; I wasn’t sure that I was docile enough to be what he wanted me to be, though I supposed that I didn’t really have a choice.

I bolted upright, my heart racing as my chest ached, my breath sharp and afraid. I looked around in a panic, the circular room barren of anything other than the straw I sat upon; a metal door the only way in or out. I stumbled to my feet, rushing towards the only window I could see, bars preventing me from being able to get out that way, a strange aura surrounding the tower, the city bellow seeming so far away. I knew what the aura was as it brushed against my hand, it was binding my powers, making it so I couldn’t use them; the mind link I had with the prince unable to connect here. I didn’t know where he was, or what he was thinking, I didn’t even know if I would still be alive by the end of the day; the world around my spinning as I collapsed onto the floor, unable to hold my own weight.I crawled back towards the pile of straw, my mind as tired as my body; I moved to lay down, shivering as I only wore a long-sleeved blue gown, the fabric ba

“I will have to test the theory, but I believe you will be able to read the mind of other vampires not just me. If that is the case, you are the most valuable witch I have ever met, the only one I know of that can do such a thing.” He explained, suddenly stopping to turn around and face me; his fiery eyes locked onto mine. “I need you to shapeshift into a bat, so you can sit beside me in the meetings and I need you to be able to hold it for five hours.”I stared back at him, too nervous to avert my glance. “What if I can’t do either? What if you are wrong about me being able to read the minds of the vampires?”“Then you are of no use to me.” He said bluntly, taking a threatening step towards me as he continued. “And you will be disposed of for what you did to me.”I bowed, silently showing him that I would obey, that I would try and be everything he wanted me to be, after all; what other choice di

I leant against the witch, not knowing what else to do, my own body failing me. “I can’t, he will see my thoughts.” I whispered.She frowned, looking down at me as she helped me undress and get into the warm bath; her eyes littered with confusion. “What? Who will see your thoughts?”“The prince.” I said without thinking, my body slipping easily into the water.Blanche frowned again, unsure what I meant. “What do you mean the prince will see your thoughts? Witches can't mind meld with vampires.”I thought for a moment, realising what I had done, the problem I had now caused. “I... I mean he can... He can see my thoughts because he is so powerful.”“That is not how it works Luna, vampires can only hear the thoughts of other vampires, and certain witches can hear the thoughts of other beings; but never a vampire. That is unheard of. Such a thing cannot be possible, how can you hea

I awoke painfully slow, my mind dull and unable to comprehend what was going on around me; the room full of faces that I didn’t recognise. I groaned when a stranger ripped open the front of my dress, smearing a strange cream over the wounds I knew to be there; the pain unbearable as it soaked into my skin. I whimpered as two bald headed women lifted me into a seated position on the overly large bed, wrapping a bandage around the place where Berus had forced the aura form my body. I whimpered, attempting to push the human’s away from me, I couldn’t do it; it hurt too much. I wanted to go home, but I knew that I couldn’t, that it was impossible to do so. I crashed my fist into the side of one of their faces, a deep searing panic overwhelming me as I screamed out, they were hurting me. But why? Why were they doing this?A familiar face blurred to my side; the link I could feel between us stronger than ever as he spoke within my mind. “

“Sire, don’t do anything you will regret. Remember that we need her.”Silas growled again, throwing me back into the ground as he spoke; “You should be grateful that you are still breathing, I told you to tell no one of our mind link.”“I’m sorry master.” I whispered, wiping the tears from my cheeks.“You need to be more careful witch, if the wrong person heard you, both you and the prince would be in grave danger.” The Caprotti vampire warned me, though it was something that I already knew.I was aware that our connection was dangerous, that others would want to use me against the prince, ensure that I gave away his weaknesses. Yet, even with being in his mind, I could see none, I could find no weakness; though I suspect that was because he was masking them from me and I didn’t blame him. I wasn’t exactly showing that I was trustworthy, I had betrayed him already, I had tried t

“That doesn’t fill me with confidence about him. I do admire his devotion to you, could I ever be like that?” I asked, only just realising what I had thought and sent via our link.“Why Fraulein, I do believe you can in time, once you see I’m not your enemy.” His sincere response catching me slightly off guard.“You killed my mother; I would say you are the enemy.” I thought, not realising what I had said until it was too late; a small gasp escaping my lips.“I understand your feelings but your mother attacked me first. To begin with I had no intention of taking her life.” he growled slightly, sending his real intention swirling through my mind.He was telling the truth, he wasn’t going to kill her, not until she attacked him; until she broke the rules and rebelled. Yet she saw it as though she had no other choice, she believed he would kill us both because my father had tried to run with u

I was brutally awoken by a thundering bang, followed by several less intense knocks, I pulled the blanket over my shoulders, quickly noticing the pale ink gown by the bottom of the bed. Had the healer already been? Had I slept through it all? I climbed to my feet, pleased when nothing hurt nor ached, hurriedly throwing the dress over my exposed body and walking towards the door; not sure what to expect.“Wake up filthy witch!” Came a vicious voice, the voice of a vampire I didn’t recognise, though I could sense it was an undead creature.I stopped just before the door, too afraid to open it in case it wasn’t one of Silas’ men. “I’m awake.” I shouted out; my tone sterner than it was meant to be.“I am to escort you to Prince Silas immediately.” The voice boomed. “As to what he wants with you is beyond me.” Which was said under his breath.“Why did he not come for me

I nodded, sending Ezio’s furious thoughts barrelling towards the prince’s mind, my own thoughts mixed in as I sent them; unsure why he didn’t believe me, I had never lied to him. I searched Marianne’s mind, her confusion only rising as time passed; not entirely sure what was going on around her. She didn’t understand why I was so powerful and how I could read their minds with ease when a witch has never been recorded as being able to do such a thing, believing now that I was something special. Someone they could use.“Well.” Silas said, resting his chin between his finger and thumb, “This changes things, we actually can plan better with this new found ability.”“What do you mean Silas?” Marianne asked, intrigued by his words as much as she was interested by me.“All will be revealed when the time is right, but for now; we could use her to find out whether the Phantomhives are readying for wa

“You are going to start a war!”“I didn’t do it on purpose, it wasn’t even my choice!” I screamed, mimicking his angered tone. “If I remember correctly, they kidnapped me and I can’t exactly choose who my father is!”He growled again, his eyes now a shade darker than before. “I made a mistake keeping you, Elizabeth will go to my father and demand I hand you over.”“I don’t want to anywhere near her or my father, I hate them.” I whispered, his words bring only fear to my heart. “Isn’t their something you could do?”Silas sighed, trying to calm himself; but I knew he was seething with rage. Maybe I should let her take you, you’ve been nothing but trouble.”“You don’t mean that.” I sobbed, would he really give me to Elizabeth Phantomhive? I had been not

I groaned, my neck and head burning as I was ripped from the depths of sleep, momentarily unsure of my surroundings. I blinked, the light burning my eyes as they adjusted, I didn’t feel like myself at all, I just wanted to go back to sleep. But something told me that wouldn’t be an option, my mind screaming that I needed to focus, that I needed to keep myself awake.“That’s right Luna I need you to wake up.” Came the last voice I wished to hear, the dark and heinous voice of my master. Though today it was different, kinder somehow.I groaned again in pain, trying desperately to focus my eyes, but they didn’t seem to want to cooperate. Why did I feel this way, was it because Vincent had taken so much of my blood? Is this what it felt like to be dying?Silas laughed, “You aren't dying, the pain is a side effect of the venom we administer to keep you weak whilst we feed, it will pas

“I-it wasn’t Vincent’s fault, I sent the first message. I was worried and scared.”The Prince laughed, long and loud. “I warned you that you would receive no more chances from me, that you would pay for any defiance and so would he.”“I will take her punishment as well as my own.” Muttered Vincent, his voice strangely even and strong; my mind instantly wanting to comfort him as I felt the pain behind his words. “In whatever form you deem necessary for our blatant defiance.”“You are in no position to negotiate SLAVE.” Silas barked viciously, though his tone became slightly amused with a sharp edge the next time he spoke. “If I didn’t know any better, I would believe you care for the witch.”Vincent growled but before either of us could react, the Prince raged my head to the side and violently pierced the flesh w

Victoria snicked, but it was Kanata who spoke. “Agreed. Her children will have great power.”Wait a second, were they talking about making me have children just so they could have one?! They are mad, all of them mad. I didn’t want any kids, hell; I was still a kid. Surely, they didn’t expect me to breed like an animal so they could sell off my offspring, like I would even give my children away if I were to have them.Vincent growled from beside me, but he said nothing, clearly knowing that he couldn’t argue with all of them, and my ovaries seemed to be something they were all in agreement with.Now it was Luka Caprotti who my head snapped towards as he spoke. “I have a male who would be a good candidate for her, he will keep her in line.”He wasn’t serious. He couldn’t be.“Agreed. The Octavian line will also contribute

“Luna is a sunlight witch AND a shifter.” Silas announced, and my heart threatened to rip out of my chest.“She can also heal a vampire who is on the brink of death from Diamond poisoning, something which Vincent can attest to.” Added Ezio, and I could picture the shrug he had given as he broke the news, acting a though such a thing was common.I had never been as afraid of silence in my entire life as I was right now, the various vampires of the room now all staring at ME; some in anger, others in awe, but most of them in confusion. I couldn’t help but stare at them through my lashes, I needed to know if they made a move against me, if I were to die, I wanted to see it coming. I wanted to be prepared for the final blow.“Does ANYONE have any questions?” Silas asked the room, breaking the silence.“A sunlight witch? You have not only broken the law by n

We moved quickly through the crowd, dodging the many bodies that filled the room, eyes falling in my direction for only a second; though I knew from the warning that I couldn’t meet their gazes. I had to play the part of a good slave. The prince stopped at a small step, his seat high above the others and ushered me to go first; my head low as I climbed it without hesitation and took my place to the right of the high-backed chair. I knelt as fast as I could whilst attempting to remain somewhat graceful, my head low and I clenched my eyes shut, I had never been in the presence of so many high-class vampire families before. The pounding of my own heart in my ears reminding me of how mortal I was and how easily they could kill me should that be what they wished.Even as I wanted to pretend that I was strong, that I had a special power that would protect me, I doubted that I would be able to take two of them down before I was swarmed. There must be at least thi

“I see.” She muttered, pausing for a moment. “Are you branded?”I winced but bobbed my head as if saying “yes” positive that my mouth would betray me if I spoke. I couldn’t reveal my hatred for Silas, what if he found out?“Where?” she asked softly, a pained glint in her eyes.I pulled down the collar of the dress slightly, revealing the top of the brand and the blisters that surrounded it, but again; I didn’t dare speak.She shook her head as if in anger, “My daughter can’t be much older than you, what are you seventeen?”“Fifteen, my birthday is in the summer.” I said as I glanced around, a terrible feeling that someone was watching us plaguing my mind, my voice barely coming out as a whisper.“Jesus, fifteen and branded.” She gasped in disbelief, “Wh

I startled awake, unsure of where I was, my head throbbing as I moaned in pain, my body tense and weak. I fought hard to remember why I was in pain, knowing that it had something to do with the prince, he did something to me, I felt different. I wasn’t sure what exactly had changed, but I was certain that it couldn’t be good. He … He had taken some of my blood and replaced it with his own to help my arm heal quicker, but he had taken too much; more than he needed to for the transfer of strength. I turned to look down at my arm, the flesh still slightly swollen, but as I tested my fingers and bent it at the elbow, I realised that it was healed, that the bone and muscles had mended.I stretched, wincing at the sharp pain in my head, suspecting that my body was scolding me for using up all my strength, I had overexerted myself and now I hurt. But that didn’t mean I could stay in bed until the pain was gone, after spending a night in the dun

Vincent nodded, moving to sit on the edge of the bed as Silas turned his attention back towards me, something which I had been dreading. I lowered my eyes to the stone floor when his gaze locked onto my trembling form, not knowing what he would force me to endure next, my heart racing within my chest. He lifted me from where I knelt with ease, quickly removing me from the cell before I even had a chance to utter goodbye to Vincent.We were both silent as he carried me back through the castle, back towards the elegantly decorated cell in which I would remain until I was needed. Once there, Silas placed me onto the soft bed, looking down at me as though I should thank him for what he had done. My mind pushed his away, I didn’t want him to know what I was feeling, and I certainly didn’t want him to hear my thoughts of him right now. That would only cause me more pain.He had been so nice in the early days, well as nice as a vampire
