Adopted By Vampires

Chapter Thirty Eight

I opened my eyes to see the walls of a dungeon again. 'Was all of that a dream? Did I not really go home to Eric?' I asked myself. I heard someone coming into the room. It was Kaleb, he had a dark look on his face. I became frightened and tried to back against the wall to get away from him. He hoisted me up by the collar on my shirt.

"Are you ready to forgive me?" He asked and I shook my head. "Why keep fighting? I am the only family you have left that cares about you."

"You are not my family." I spit towards him. He sighed and dragged me out of the cell. He took me to an arena where in the middle there was a bunch of torture devices. I became scared and he tied me to a table. He picked up on of the devices and I looked away. So, he wouldn't see my face when he started the torture. I looked up in the stands and saw everyone who I thought had loved me. They all had dark looks on their faces. Eric's eyes shined red and I thought for just a moment maybe this wasn't real, but when Kaleb dug into my skin it became a reality. I let out a blood curdling scream. I cried and begged for help. I called for Eric and for Trevor. Kaleb laughed when I yelled to Trevor.

"Trevor is already dead." He whispered and I started to cry. I couldn't think straight as the blood poured out of my body. I cried and cried not being able to stop. Then I jolted awake, Eric sat beside me with a worried look on his face.

"Are you okay?" He asked and I shook my head. I told him while breaking down into tears again. He wrapped his arms around me and just held me until I calmed down. "It was just a dream, okay. You need to remember, you're safe from him and never need to worry about him hurting you ever again." He stated.

"It just seemed so real!" I exclaimed and Eric nodded.

"I understand that, but it wasn't. I won't let anybody ever hurt you again." He promised me. I nodded while resting my head against his shoulder. He laid us back down on the bed slowly. "I'm glad to see you can sit up by yourself now." He whispered and I smiled.

"Yeah, after I have the shit scared out of me." I stated and Eric laughed.

"That's better than nothing." He replied and I laughed. "Come on, go back to sleep." We got in our position again and I fell back to sleep.

I woke up to see Eric looking at me. I smiled and looked around the room. "Why are you staring at me?" I asked.

"So I can get over the fact the I have you back." He replied and kissed me. It started to get heated then he accidentally hit a sore spot. I hissed in pain and Eric pulled away. "Sorry, I need to learn to control myself." I chuckled at him and he pulled me into a hug. He got up out of the bed to walk over to me. "Come on." He said. He put an arm around my waist to help me out of the bed. "I hope your not hurt this bad after our wedding night." He stated. I turned bright red and hit him in the shoulder.

"Oh my god!" I yelled and he laughed at my face. He kissed my cheek while holding onto my waist. He led me downstairs to the kitchen where everyone was. I heard Abigail squeal in excitement. She ran over to me with Savage following closely behind her.

"We missed you!" She exclaimed and Savage licked her face.

'Master I need to speak with you alone.' I heard Savage in my head.

"Eric can you lead me to the sitting room. Savage need to speak with me." I asked Eric. He nodded and helped me to the sitting room. I sat down on the couch, Savage sat in front of me we waited for Eric to leave. "Okay Savage what's up?"

'Well, I just discovered this for myself so don't be mad at me.' He replied. 'Abigail is my mate.' He told me. I looked at him weird as I tried to process what he had told me.

"Wait you're a hellhound, and she's like five. There's just too many things weird with that." I answered. Savage laughed in my head then started to hunch over in pain. He started to sprout hair on his head then his paws became hands and feet. He transformed into a man older than me. He had spiky red hair and black eyes.

"See, I also discovered that when a hellhound finds his mate he can turn back and forth into human and hellhound." He stated.

"But, that doesn't change the fact you're like twenty years older than her." I replied. He chuckled then shifted back to hellhound.

'Actually two thousand three hundred and nineteen years older than her.' He explained. 'I have decided to stop aging at twenty four and since she's a vampire she can choose when to stop aging. '

"So you can talk to her?" I asked. He nodded while looking around the room. "How is this going to work out between you two?"

'Well, when she reaches twenty one I will ask her if she is comfortable. For now I am going to be her playmate and her best friend.' He informed me. I nodded then I looked towards the door. 'Are you ready to return to Eric?' He questioned. I nodded and looked down at Savage. 'I will retrieve him then.' He started towards the door then turned around. 'I would wish for you to keep this a secret.' He said.

"I will respect your wishes." I stated. He smiled then turned to leave, only to have him turn back around.

'I also wanted to tell you that I will be taking you to your birth parents when you regain your strength.' He told me then walked out of the room.
