The Unthought Fate [MxM]

Chapter 23

   Vlad

It's that strange moment when you know you are sleeping, but not fully. When you could get back to sleep some more or decide to wake up.

I wanted to sleep some more, but I was feeling kind of cold and I didn't know why. The weather was still fairly warm, early autumn, the night not that chilly yet. I knew for sure Calum made a fire that he kept lit the whole night, I shouldn't be so cold, so why am I cold?

Oh...fine, let's see what is happening. So I open my eyes.

I am an ice filled tub, the water red and a slight sting is present all over my body, I didn't feel it before.

W-what is the meaning of this?

I quickly lift myself from the tub, now standing on my feet, looking around alarmed. I-I shouldn't be here. Oh my soul....i'm trembling like a leaf, panic is starting to arise.

This is Kayro's bathroom, the tub I always prepared for him. Looking closer I notice a few candles lit, the bags of salt and bottles of fragrances on a nearby little table, chocolate and raspberry essences there.

The bathroom is empty, but I hear footsteps, a person is coming here. I want to hide, but there no place to hide. I step out of the tub, breathing fast, panicking, splashing water everywhere, but I just want to hide, to run...

"Little lamb, there's no place to run or hide." I hear a voice and I knew that voice, it was the vampire that whipped me and put my body in the ice water. Oh no, oh my soul... what is happening? Where to hide... I just go as far as I can from the door, nearing a corner.

I had my back to this person and I was now making myself a small ball in a corner, my hands covering my head, trembling in cold. When I heard him speak, the shaking grew stronger, utter terror flooding me.

No, no, where is Calum? He said I was safe...

"Look at me, little lamb, I have something for you" the voice asked and I knew it was coming closer. It was so close to me, that I could feel its breath in my ear. Goosebumps were all over my skin, a shiver on my spine, when something wet touched the hand I had on my head. I didn't dare look up, I was petrified.

"No, please! Please, I will do anything, please don't hurt me!" I was pleading with tears all over my face.

Something was running down my hand and arm, it was cold, not very fluid, maybe water or something else, I was too scared to find out what...

"I won't hurt you little lamb, I promise..." the vampire said again, chuckling. I knew he was right next to me and I knew that if I open my eyes, I would see his feet close to mine.

Taking a deep breath, I open my eyes. At first I don't see much, but then, between my arm and leg, I could see who was standing there. And those were not the vampire's legs, those were a female's legs, was that Sara's skin?!

I gasp and lift my head suddenly, because I didn't understand anything, nothing made sense.

The first thing I saw was Sara, after another bat of the eyes it disappeared and appeared Kayro and then the king. The changes became quicker and then also the vampire appeared and my trainers, Corvina, Corvinus...

I was holding my breath, afraid to even close my eyes, because they were deceiving me, I was going crazy, hallucinating...

I hide my face behind my palms, but they were wet and I could taste something on my lips and I knew it, I knew the taste... of blood. I slowly removed my quivering hands, they were covered in it.
