“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
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
“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
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
“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
“Mom no!” I screamed as the masked men ripped me from my bed, the carpet burning my skin as they dragged me across the floor.“Luna... I'm sorry.” She whispered, sobbing into a piece of tattered tissue.The masked men lifted me from the ground, the larger one throwing me over his shoulder, his green eyes piercing through me, even in the dark room; the only light coming from a small lamp in the corner. My heart thumped recklessly within my chest, unable to contain the fear that I felt.What was going on? Why didn’t my mother stop them? I thrashed my entire form against the stranger, hoping that he would let go, that he would allow me to get to my mother one last time, ask her myself what was going on. Yet, his grip only tightened as he excited the room, my mother standing completely still in the corner, blocked by a dark figure wearing a suit, though I couldn’t get a better look, nor could I hear what he was saying over the sou
The second vampire descended the stairs and came to where we were stood by the front door, his voice less terrifying than the green-eyed creature. “Stop scaring the girl, she is young and afraid; of course, she will ask for her mother.”“She must learn her place; her traitorous father is the reason we are here.” Said the green eyes being as he took a step back, roughly patting me on the shoulder.I noticed that the second creature had eyes the shade of fire; three colours rolled into one. “That may be so, but the girl is afraid. I am sure that you can spare her this once.”“Who are you to tell me what to do! I only answer to my king!” Bellowed the first vampire, squaring up to the other creature as he growled; challenging them.“I wouldn’t challenge me if I were you.” Warned the fiery eyed creature.How could he be so calm? The green eyed man was far superior in size and muscle, how
I did as he commanded without hesitation, using the front door to aid me as my legs began to shake and bend at the knee, my fear making it increasing difficult to obey; all I wanted to do was run. I wanted to get as far away as I possibly could, hide and hope that no one finds me.But that just wasn’t possible, my father had tried to run, he had tried to take me and mother with him, but we were caught at the border of Scotland, we never made it to the free tribes and he was foolish to think we would. He had tried to fight them off when they came, he had been rebellious until his last breath, never once showing fear; though I knew that he had been afraid. I could sense it. Since then, my mother had been placed onto a list, a donor list. She had to give them her blood regularly, and use her ability to read a mortal’s mind to aid them whenever they asked, never really having a choice.We are one of the rare families that are owned directly by the crown
I followed the prince to the limo whilst staring back at the house we had never chosen, the house was given by them to make sure we couldn’t leave; we weren't allowed anything that would give us a social standing among the mortals. We were made to look poor and isolated; the human neighbours would have already been told that we were criminals, that we weren't to be approached. Though, this only happens to the families who try and run, try and escape their fate, not all witches must live as we did. Under constant watch. Some got to live a normal life, only being called upon when they were needed, it all depended on what power you were born with.I looked up at Silas who stood above six foot, watching as he opened the car door, indicating that I should get in, and I almost obeyed...“Luna!” My mother screamed in a panic from the front door; her brown eyes coated in terror. “Luna run!”I pulled my arm from the grip of the vampi
