2021-10-12 19:26:40I 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

“Now we are alone Fraulein, I have some words of advice to part on you regarding Marianne.” Said Silas a few minutes after the door shut.“Yes, Master” I said, trying to be as obedient as possible. “I would like to have as much help as I can get.”“Look Fraulein, I only expect you to be so formal in front of Vampires and the sort. Things don’t have to be so intense when it is just you and I. Though I still expect you to watch your tongue and be obedient.” Silas’ tone firm but unusually soft.“Alright, if you are sure.” I said, almost whispering as I wasn’t entirely convinced that it would be ok not to call him my master when we were alone. What if someone overheard?“You worry too much.” He chuckled, making it past the barrier I had created between our minds; though I still didn’t know what he was thinking. He was much better at this than I was.I rose t

“Now Fraulein, A guard will come to escort you to your chambers where you will meet with Marianne.” He turned to the door and walked off with something almost like a spring in his step.I stood in there in awe, what had changed within him? Something had, I just didn’t know what, he was nicer; he considered my opinions and suggestions. He listened to me. I mutely nodded towards the guard that entered the meeting room looking for me, quickly following him towards the chamber, the door having been repaired. I reached out my mind to Silas as I entered my room, forgetting that he was originally going to tell me something about Marianne, something I needed to know.“What was the important information I needed to know whilst training with Miss Scarlette?” I asked mutely, sending the question swimming around his mind.“Ah yes, Marianne is unforgiving when it comes to training.” Came his thoughts, though I still had no idea what

“Not before you show me.”I shook my head, taking a step away from the vampire. “I would like to show you at the same time I show my master, Ma’am.”“That is not possible my dear, your dear master is entertaining an important guest so I suggest you tell me and I will decide if it warrants his attention.” Marianne replied sternly, ripping the note from my hand.“Wait...” I protested, quickly shutting my mouth when she shot me a glance; one that terrified me greatly.“So, the rebels have contacted you because your father was one of them. Filthy rebel scum! You should be killed for just having shared blood with them!” She exploded with rage as she took a threatening step towards me; her eyes coated with hatred.I searched her mind, shocked to find she had every intention of killing me instead of taking me to Silas, panic rippling through me. “NO, you don’t understand.

“Luna is not a Marshall, her mother met Stephen Marshall after Fraulien was born, marrying him before she knew of his actions with the rebel witches and warlocks. But her mother never revealed the fact she was married to a rebel to her vampire handler, nor did she tell her own daughter he wasn’t her real father.” Silas explained, his words carefully chosen as if rehearsed. “Which helps explain how she has no traits from her “father” and has no desire to join the rebels, she knows their numbers have waned in recent times due to them being ineffective against us.”I gasped when I heard the words leave his lips, Stephen wasn’t my father?! What did he mean, if he wasn’t, then who was? Who did I belong to? I rose to my feet, taking a step towards them as if in a trance; “What else do you know?” I asked him.Marianne smiled, “Do you have proof of this?” she asked, negating my question as Silas&rsqu

“I told you Fraulein was loyal, I told you that she would obey me and you will never lay a hand on her again, not unless I give the order. Is that clear?”Marianne nodded, glancing towards me as she sighed; her tone small and seemingly understanding, something that was rare from a vampire. “I am sorry for your loss child; your mother should not have had to endure what she did under our noses. We should have noticed.”An apology from a vampire? A high ranking one at that? This was something that caught me off guard but I knew she meant it; “Thank you Ma’am, I appreciate it.” I bowed my head to show all was forgiven.“Fraulein has also given up her name to show her loyalty to me. You will call her Luna unless in another form where she will be Fraulein.” Silas added.“You are certainly lucky

I nodded, warning the prince that I would be unavailable for a while, that I was beginning training and my mind would go silent; unresponsive. I tried to push the doubt from my mind, quickly sitting in front of Marianne on the floor, my heart racing slightly as I had never done this before; my anxious mind preventing me from concentrating fully. I sighed when nothing happened, when I couldn’t transform, knowing that it was because I was distracted.That my mind would not allow me to focus. But that still didn’t help, knowing was half the battle and in the situation, the other half was more difficult than I could have imagined; unsure how to move forward I closed my eyes, sighing again when nothing happened, when I failed.Mari sighed with me, knowing straight away what was happening. “You need to relax your mind; doubt is your worst enemy right now.”“I can’t relax, if I fail it ruins

Nine days had passed since my first lesson with Marianne, the deadline drawing closer faster than I had imagined it would, my doubt returning after a few days; filling my mind with reasons why I couldn’t do it, why I never would. I had tried my best, giving it every effort with no success, my mood deflated and low as I collapsed back onto the small mattress; the freezing room oddly comforting me.I needed to rest, to have a break from the constant demands of Mari, she wouldn’t give up; she couldn’t understand why I was failing. But I could, I wasn’t as good as they believed me to me, I wasn’t as powerful as they had hoped. I was nothing.I closed my eyes, Silas had been gone from Paris for three days and for that time, our connection had been lost; it clearly didn’t work over long distances. I couldn’t feel him any longer, I couldn’t sense his presence in the city or in th

“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
