I attempted to reach out to my master once more, but I heard nothing in response, though I didn’t know what to say; what could I say? I didn’t know where I was, or who had captured us. Not yet.

Berus stopped in the centre of the large room, a table a few feet away from him; where three vampires sat watching us, waiting for us to make the first move. The necromancer bowed and so, me and Blanche did the same; unsure what else we could do. I lifted my eyes to get a good look at those who sat at the table; the rest of the room bare of anything, no pictures, no windows, nothing.

I suspected the one sat in the middle was the head of whatever family we were in the presence of, his long raven hair running down to his jawline in what looked to be a middle parting; smooth and pale skin and amber eyes that stared into my very soul. He had high cheek bones and was incredibly thin, though he looked to stand over six foot, though I could not be sure as he was sat down. H

    I had to save her.My ability began to bubble to the surface, sprouting from the hand I held over her wound, the healing process agonisingly slow.“Not so fast witch.” Elizabeth said from somewhere behind me, clasping something around my left ankle as I focused on Blanche, the female vampire’s movement blurred and unnaturally fast.My ability stopped suddenly, Blanche’s wound reopening; what had she done? Why wasn’t it working?! Tears burst from my eyes once more as someone grabbed me from behind, prying me from my friend’s body and throwing me backwards. I slid across the floor, smashing into the wooden table as I saw the last movement of Blanche’s chest as the room fell silent, a smile on each face. Each face but mine.“What have you done?!” I screamed, looking down at my left ankle a small golden trinket wrapped around it; the metal giving me a sharp shock when I attempted to remove it

    The dungeon was a horrid place to be, especially without my friend alongside me, she made everything seem a little more bearable. But now she was gone, the Phantomhive clan seeing no use for her and soon, I believed they would see no use for me. I had been in the underground cell for days, with only the occasional glass of water and bowl of plain porridge to keep me going; even Berus hadn’t visited me. But I saw no escape, no way that I could pick the lock of the chain around my hands and feet, bound to a single bed with only a few feet of chain so I could make it to the cell door for the food and drink. Was this to be my life now? Would Silas not come for me? I hadn’t heard the prince’s voice inside my head since the day I was taken, perhaps he was too far away, or maybe he just didn’t want to listen. I was trouble from the first moment that I met him, useless and blind to the cruel world I was born into.Witches didn’t have rights

    The warlock moved to stand beside me, “I am.”I frowned again, scowling at the one person who I hated most in this world; my mind unsure and angry. “I’m serious, who is my father?”“I have just told you Luna, I am your dad.” Berus scowled back at me, his eyes showing no signs of deceit.“You can’t be.” I whispered, still unable to believe it. “My mother could never love a man like you.”Berus smiled savagely, “You are right, she couldn’t, that is why she stole you from me when you were a baby, it was an arranged marriage. She did not want it.”“NO...” I murmured, my hearty lurching and jolting within my chest. It cannot be true! Berus couldn’t be my father, my mother would never agree to an arranged marriage, she would have never consummated it. “You’re lying.”Sebastian smashed his hand against the table, causing my

    Maybe he was right, I couldn’t fight these creatures, and I was foolish to think that I could. Everything about them was superior to me, even Berus outmatched me in power and age. I was just a teenager, one with little experience of the world, I couldn’t take them on alone.Before anyone else could speak, Elisabeth stormed from the room, deciding that she did not want to be in my company any longer; her eyes coated with rage. The heavy doors shut behind her, a sigh of relief accidently slipping from my lips as I watched Vincent re-take his seat, Sebastian soon following his son and Berus moving to stand beside him.I remained on the floor, unsure if I would be able to stand, but also knowing that I must, I couldn’t show them how weak I truly was. I leant against the table as I stumbled to my feet, my legs unsteady and continuing to tremble, what could I possibly do now? I couldn’t fight them alone, so that meant that I must obey them, I had no o

    I quickly stripped off and climbed into the almost scolding water, nervously watching the door as I didn’t know how long I would have alone; my heart thumping within my chest. I shook as I used a small yellow sponge to wash my blackened skin, scrubbing at the dirt until it fell into the water, I didn’t have any shampoo or body wash; supposing that was because they didn’t expect me to need it. Or perhaps they just didn’t care. I slipped under the water to wash my hair, the water darkening from the dirt that clung to me; my eyes tightly clenched shut.I heard something, like a faint voice somewhere far away; worried and panicked. I tried to listen, to find out who it was and what they were afraid off; though the room fell silent once more as I lifted my head to the surface of the water. I looked around the small chamber, wondering what had happened and who had tried to contact me.Could it have been Silas? Was he close somehow? I prayed that was t

    “Quick, this way.” he whispered, pressing his hand onto a wall and moving the stone to reveal a secret passage.He pulled me into the darkness as I gasped, breathing heavily as panic swept over me, what if she found us? What would she do to me because I ran from her? I didn’t know the answers to my silent questions, but I was sure that I didn’t want to find out as Vincent shut the entrance to the secret passage; voices slowly closing in on us; the voice of Elizabeth more prominent than the rest.“Where is she?! She can’t just vanish!” She shouted loud enough for us to hear from behind the stone.My heart was thumping in my ears as I tried to control my rapid breathing, attempting to be as quiet as I could, though failing as my panic overwhelmed me. Vincent placed a hand over my mouth, pressing me hard into one of the other walls, willing me to be silent, yet; he made it harder to take each breath. His body was pressed ag

    Yes, clear as day.” I whispered, knowing that the situation must have changed for the worse as I buried my head, readying myself for what was to come.“Master?” I called out with my mind, hoping he could hear me.The prince responded almost instantly, as if he was waiting for me to break the silence. “Fraulien, are you close? Where is Vincent?”“I don’t know where we are, its so dark, but we aren’t alone and I’m afraid. What if we don’t make it?” I replied, unable to hide my panic.“You will make it, I can sense where you are, we are coming. Hold on Fraulien, I wont let them take you from me again.” He reassured me, but how could he sense me?Did he really know where we are? I hoped that his words were true as I saw lights coming from deep within the woods, closing in on all sides, we were surrounded, that is what Vincent was worried about, we had no escape.

    I fought against those who held me down, my entire form thrashing in desperation, I had to save him, I had to help the only person in this whole country who risked his life to try and take me home. I stopped suddenly, my entire body becoming still, as though something was preventing me from aiding him in any way I could; though that wasn’t the case. The power within me snapped, forcing its way to the surface before I could comprehend what was happening; my body like lava to touch causing the vampires who held me down to pull back in shock and fear. It all happened within a split second, it was as though sunlight had shot across the sky in the dead of night; throwing the two vampires back into nearby trees as they screamed in anguish; their bones snapping along with the branches as the others attempted to put out the flames.Fire as dangerous and as unpredictable as the actual sun seeped from my body and I slowly used the strength from it to stand, slowly stepping forwar

    “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
