Demons Of The Night

Chapter 4.

Relief

"I-i'm sorry your majesty." I stuttered. I was afraid. Surely he would choke me again if he knew I screamed because of a nightmare. I immediately regretted thinking that, I knew he had read my mind, because his jaw had dropped instantly. "You've got to be kidding me. A nightmare?" Jesus, he made it sound as if it was a joke.

"He walked over and sat at the end of my bed. "Well you have woken me human, tell me what was so horrifying." I looked at him as if he was joking. He couldn't possibly care. "Oh, I care. You disturb my sleep, I want to know why." I looked down at my fingers and started swirling my thumbs around. "Well if you don't tell me, I will bite you and see for myself!" When he said that, I scooted away from him, afraid for my life.

When he moved towards me, I put my hands up. "Okay, I'll tell you, just don't bite me." He stopped and looked me in the eyes. "Your going to be mad at me. I just know you are." I put my hands over my eyes, letting tiny tears escape. When I looked up I saw sadness in his eyes just before it went back to being ice cold.

I sighed. "In my nightmare I saw a little boy. Black hair, green eyes. I tried to help him, but it was like he couldn't hear me. He was screaming for his mother. When he found her-" I chocked back on my tears. He was staring at me with big green eyes. "She was dead. She had her heart ripped out of her chest."

"All he could do was shake her and scream wake up mommy. Then a man came a snatched him up. The boy tried to bite him and when he did the man slapped him unconscious." Ezio sat speechless looking at the floor. He had a worried look on his face, and for a second I thought maybe something similar happened to him. When he looked at me, he grabbed me by my hand and pulled me down to a witches room. He banged on the door demanding she opened it.

"Dorinda, I know your in there!" He was pacing now. When he went to bang again the door opened and a pale witch peeked out. She had dark brown hair, with brown eyes. She was very short. "How can I help you your Majesty?" She looked like how I felt. Exhausted.

Ezio pushed passed Dorinda with me by his side. "I need your help with something." she looked at him with an exhausted expression. "How can I be of service your majesty?" Dorinda said. "Isabelle here doesn't seem very human to me. She has had a nightmare of my kidnapping from my mothers dead body before I was vampire." The witch looked at me with shock. "Your majesty, that's impossible. The ones with the sight had been wiped out by the man that took you. There is no possible way that this human has those abilities!"

They both looked at me. "Dorinda, I don't care what you have to do, find out how this girl found out of my past." Dorinda walked around me in a full circle. I  had my arms wrapped around myself. I was very afraid, and it didn't help that it felt 20° in this castle.

Finally Dorinda placed her hands on both of my ears and began chanting something I couldn't comprehend. Then a shit of pain flashed through my head and I cried out.

Ezio watched as this woman flashed through my memories. I could tell that after she seen my memories it made her flinch away from the King. She had seen how her King treated me within these passed four days.

Ezio grabbed her by her arms and shook her. "Well? What did you see?" He was screaming at her now. Dorinda looked at him as if she was no longer there. Its as if she had been possessed. Her eyes rolled into the back of her head and was replaced with darkness.

When Dorinda spoke, it was clear that it was not her speaking any longer. "Ezio Auditoré, this girl is one of those your kidnapper use to fear most. She is a sighter. Either she will be your destruction, or she will be your downfall. You will make that choice. You and only you alone."

Without any other word, Dorinda collapsed onto the floor. Ezio called in his guards. "Take Dorinda to the E.R. have a magical nurse evaluate her. Then take the human back to her room, lock her door and bring me the key." They quickly bowed and done as they were told." Without another glance I was faced looking at my bed and the door slammed shut.

What the fuck just happened? I paced back and forth trying to wrap my head around the events that just took place. Savior? Destruction? What the hell was a Sighter? I wished Ezio would pop up and just tell me what's going on. I knew that would never happen! Ugh! Why didn't they just kill me? I would have been better off!

All I felt was hatred for this cold hearted King. It's obvious he has never had true love. He was always angry, or confusing! I needed answers and I needed them now! After about an hour of worrying myself with hundreds of reasons what would happen to me. How I could escape. All hopeless. I finally closed my eyes and thought happy thoughts.

Suddenly I was no longer in my bedroom. Instead I was sitting in a small closet, right beside the same little boy I had previously seen. He was crying, except he wasn't so little anymore. This boy looked about eight years old. He looked so exhausted. "Master, can I please have some food. I'm so hungry, and I've been extra good today and done exactly as I was told."

The monster threw the small starving boy a chicken bone and laughed. "Fetch." The boy cried. "Please master, more." The man had enough and slapped the boy across the face while his kitchen staff watched. One lady was watching in fear with her hands across her mouth.

It fast forwarded when the boy was in his room about to die from starvation when the woman from the cafeteria walked in. "Oh my god!" She screamed. She walked over to the boy, picked him up and carried him into the doctor. "Help him!" She screamed at the staff.

They looked at the boy in shock, knowing he was the adopted son of their king. They immediately revived the boy and said the causes was from starvation and dehydration. Suddenly the a King walked in and seen his adopted son. "He's to have breakfast and dinner everyday from now on. I have plans for him." When he was able to leave and was finally in the same room of his father, his father unleashed his anger, slapping the eight year old starved child. "If you ever embarrass me like that again, I'll kill you "

I jumped up, trying not to scream very loudly. I realized it must have been about 6 a.m. the sun was barely showing in the horizon. I got up and immediately jumped in the shower. When I finished and put my clothes on, there was a knock at my door. I opened it, surprised to see it was the king himself. He was dressed to go jogging.

"Get dressed and meet me out front in ten minutes. Don't make me have to come back to get you." He then turned around and waked out. I shut the door and found some running shirts and shorts.  I looked in my closer and found a pair of sneakers. After I got dressed and put my hair up, I waked out front. Lord be with me, I was terrified of this monster.
