The Forbidden Battle Of Love

The Incredible Palace Of Lost Souls

Ragard's POV........................................

The beautiful Sarene lay in my arms. But if i could feel my heart, it would probably be in complete agony. Bloody tears ran down my cheeks as I walked with her corpse in my arms. I didn't want my subjects and slaves to see me like this , but alas I can't stop myself. I can't help but laugh cruelly as I hear the petrified blood curling screams of the guard who hurt this beautiful slave.

" Make sure his death is as agonizing as hers was and make it very slow," i told another guard

        Suddenly, I faintly heard a pulse in my ears and looked down out of curiosity. I could barely hold my utter joy in as she stared up at me in fright and then confusion. I cleared my throat and put her down on one of the ivory steps that spiraled up to the next floor. She looked around with amazement at my beautiful castle.

" What did you think it would be like Dracula's castle?" i asked and then chuckled when I heard her reply

 "Actually yes I thought it would be more scary with more blood red colors ,"

" Your highness, don't you have a meeting to go to," asked one of the royal advisers

" Why yes actually I do , make sure she puts on her uniform then show her to my room where she shall be staying," I replied

" And don't worry i shall be back to give you your list of chores,"

I walked off into the distance and went right to my meeting with the duke of England. Hopefully that beautiful slave will behave herself so I won't have to punish her too much.

Tony's POV

         My screams bounced off the walls as i was repeatedly whipped with a cat o nine tails. Unfortunately for me, it was specially made to flog the flesh right off of bone. It was incredibly painful , so painful in fact that my voice was hoarse from screaming so much. After what seemed like hours of seeing my blood pool around my body like a giant red cloak, the whipping stopped and I was left alone. I was completely surprised that I was still alive. All I did was lay there curled into a ball wishing the burning sensation would go away and that my mouth wasn't so dry .

" Get up you filthy mongrel ," shouted a guard

Who did this idiot think he was calling me a mongrel. I wasn't a mutt I was completely human. I snorted but didn't say anything. Might as well play the good boy and just listen and obey for now if I want to stay alive. I tried to comply with his wishes but I couldn't move a single muscle in my body. Anger flared through his bloodshot eyes and i closed mine and braced myself for the pain to come. Thankfully it never did. He just simply sighed and picked me up like a rag doll and tossed me over his should . My face burned in complete and utter humiliation as he took me to wherever it is he wanted me to go. I glanced at the ground and then wished i hadn't of even opened my eyes.

        Soulless eyeballs stared straight at me and many skulls grinned. The horrified skulls lay on a plush red carpet that seemed to go on forever. I was entirely too curious and decided to ask why there was skulls on the ground .

" Those are the skulls of the lost souls that haunt this foul palace of hell ," was his reply

Well it definitely can't get any worse than it already is I suppose but truth be told I was wrong .

The guard came to a complete halt and dropped me on the floor like a heavy sack of potatoes. My face connected to a skull and if I wasn't in so much pain I would probably screamed at the top of my lungs.

" Listen dog, you need to put these clothes on and get dressed, the king has also given me a list of chores for you to do,"

He tossed me my clothes which looked fresh and new. I took that chance to look around a bit as i put on the gray pants and crisp white T shirt. To my utter surprise the palace didn't look like there was an evil vampire king living in it.  The walls were lined with beautiful pictures of birds and one portrait stood out from the rest., It had a mahogany frame with gold swirl patterns. But what really caught my attention was the beautiful woman in the photograph. She had flowing blonde hair and shining eyes the color of the sea. Her lips were full and in the shape of cupids bow .But with all of her beauty she had a sad smile on her face as if she knew something bad was about to happen. My heart was beating like a drum and my breath was ragged.

What is this feeling ? Why am i hurting for a woman i don't know ?

" My mate my true love " whispered a distant voice in my head

Shock ran through my head as i tried to figure out where that voice had come from. I looked away from the portrait and focused on my surroundings , hoping to find some clues as to who she was or once was. I glanced at the floor with awe . The floor had a black and white chess pattern but I could faintly see a few cracks in the floor as if this palace had been standing for eons. White and gold pillars held up the ceiling, they were beautifully made and seemed to be from the roman era. A crimson carpet ran through the middle of the vast room and a winding staircase made of pure gold stood at the side of the spacious room. I looked above to the ceiling and admired the crystal chandelier which seemed to be quite old though it shined like the sun on a hot and sunny day.

" Have you finished admiring my palace?," asked a rather amused voice

I nodded my head and stepped forward but as my foot hit the ground, a leg appeared out of no-where and swept me off of my feet and a snarl resonated off the walls. Fear ran up my spine and made my heart fill with panic at such a noise.

" I am your master and you will answer me when I talk to you and reply with yes master or no master." snarled the master

I visibly gulped and hung my head in utter defeat.

" Yes master as you wish," I replied , my pride completely shattered
