Black Knight

chapter 4: blood for blood

Estelle found herself siting on a stone wall looking out across a bright field of golden wheat that's swayed in the wind. She looked down at her hands and found them to be smaller. She opened her mouth to speak but the words got stuck in her throat. Suddenly she felt someone sit down next to her but no matter how hard she tried to turn her head to look she couldn't.

" that was foolish my Elle " a voice she knew all too well said with a sigh

" Lucien! " she choked finally able to speak, she felt him lay his head on hers.

Lucien let out a small chuckle as he wrapped his arms around her " you have to be more careful " he said sadly pulling away from her. With a sigh he kissed her cheek that had the cut from the demon " wake up" he whispered.

"wait please Lucien!! " she cried out looking all around her, but there was no trace of him. Estelle stood up on the wall and felt it shatter under her weight " no please don't leave me! " she cried out watching the scenery fall along with her into darkness.

Estelle's eyes popped up with tears, it took her a moment to realize where she was. She was back in her room, with a sigh she rolled to her left to find a surprise. There once again was Glen in her bed, all she could do was let out a groan. Her body was so stiff from using a power she had not in many years. It had left its total on her.

With a painful sigh she looked up at the ceiling. " that was quite foolish dear Elle " adamaï smirked sitting on her chest. " that's why I told you to use your power often " his dark eyes shifted back and forth

" it has been a while " she muttered shifting in pain

" indeed, master Alucard has noticed " he said with a purr. He watched her " looks like you going to need it " he said taking a claw like finger and cut his own wrist. Adamaï brought his bleeding wrist to her lips.

Estelle knew he was right, but she hated it. She slowly allowed herself to drink his black blood, she could feel a warm sensation throughout her body" and you took care of it? "she ask looking away.

Adamaï gave a nod "of course anything for you " he said jumping over to Glen " this one smells "

She looked at Glen then back to adamaï, but he was no longer there " thanks for the warning " she muttered and winced at the horrible tasted of the blood. " ugh " she thought moving at ease now. Adamaï had help her after all, yet in the way she hated most. It wasn't known by anyone other then her family members, demons blood is the only way to heal them. She let out a bitter laugh " the poison to mundanes " whipping the black blood from her lips " is our salvation " she thought licked the blood off her finger. She made sure she was able to move without any problems. Estelle let out a long sigh and lifted herself up on her elbow " now for you " she said kicking Glen with full force out of her bed once again.

He landed with a loud crash, she heard him groan in pain as he looked around in confusion. When he saw her looking down at him, he jump up "you.......your awake" he gasped

Estelle gave him a confused look " yeah "

Glen grabbed her shoulder hard and looked her all over " you took a beating by a demon yesterday," he said noticing that the cut was gone " that's odd, it's completely healed " he muttered rubbing his thumb across her cheek.

Estelle froze " it wasn't the deep, I normally heal fast " she said while swatting Glen's hands away. He looked a little disappointed.

Estelle hopped off the bunk and noticed her clothes where changed " did.....did someone change me!? " she gasped clutching her chest. Luckily she felt her chest was still bonded.

Glen gave her a serious look that made her swallow the lump in her throat " yeah........ I did " he said

Estelle face light up " y-you did " she said in embarrassment. If he found out what was she going to do?
