Xavier's Witch

Chapter 12

The three of us now in the library, vampire history, living standard, feeding and lifestyle had suddenly piqued the interest of Hevea and Fiona.
I was here upon the fact that I had nothing better to do than sit and idly watch them read and point out worthless facts about the vampires.

They each had a book that they looked into, reading the most probably boring things about the species. I gave them a look full of wonder as they both read on avoiding my piercing gaze.

"It says here, that upon realisation that one is their soulmate their eyes mirror each other in colour. How fascinating".

I look at Fiona with an almost irritated look, What was she doing under the mating column?.
I rise from my position as the leather chair groans in response to my lift. I pace the room shortly before leaving. I make my way to my room and close the door behind me .

Taking in a long breath , I relax and rear my hood,  I started undressing till I was stripped down to my corset and the short under-skirt.

I had been feeling so off since the day begun, my skin was crawling, my eyes hurt as though iylt was being pricked by multiple needles. I looked in the mirror constantly, checking if my eyes were emitting blood. None.

I looked through the waistband on my cloak searching for a remedy that could ease the flowing pain. The vials chimed as I ran my hands over the smooth glassy bottles. Finally, I found it, the clear fluid. I shook the liquid slowly swirling it around.

I opened the glass container as I took the sour liquid in one gulp as I contorted my face into a wicked frown.

I move for the bathroom as I pull off any remaining article of clothing

The silver bath stared right back at me as I strolled to the mirror. I stared at myself, bare was the only word to describe my current state of being. I stared at myself in the mirror as I took myself in anew, silky hair, an hour glass body figure, plump breasts and a round buttocks to write home about.  I wad not too skinny and neither was I on the big side.  I slid into the bath that was already filled with a chilled water. I relaxed into the cold as the water welcomed my heated form with a cool embrace. I slid in fully leaving neck upward outside the water, I closed my eyes welcoming the relaxing sensation of my decreasing temperature.

I started heating up again, the relaxing sensation rapidly leaving my body, the liquid had not served its purpose. My eyes hurt twelve fold, as if a blade were slashed across my eyelids and the wound were sprinkled with salt. I held my eyes tightly shut as a shriek escaped my lips vibrating the whole room as a crack tore across the mirror shattering it. I did not want to contain all this pain, it was too much for just me to bear. Another loud shriek escaped my mouth as the water in the bath splashed out all over the bathroom. The ground was still pulsing with a vibration that spread through the whole room.  The door flew right off its hinges as I balled up my fists in pain.

Someone walked into the now doorless bathroom, cold hands ran over my forehead and I greatly appreciated the effort but it was not helping cool me. The water that once was on my body was now replaced by a thick layer of sweat, it trickled down my body in different areas as the heat increased. A blanket was wrapped around me as muscular arms lifted me out of the bath and out of the stuffy room. My body radiated heat, I was certain from the way my carrier's body tensed as he carried my sweaty form. I was soon placed on a bed as my weight pressed down on the soft material of the mattress.
The rise and fall of my chest was now moving at a dangerous pace as my ragged breaths came out with groans if pain. My throat was on fire as my body released another ear-splitting scream, the glass on each window burst out with the shards spraying in and out of the room.

"Hevea!!, Fiona!!, Help me!!. Rid me of this pain please!!". I shout as my rage is thrown in my words.
My eyes are shut tight as the pain makes itself known as it caused my head to throb as if drums were being played in my head.

A hand touched my shoulder. I tried opening my eyes but it stung with each twitch.

"Maura, breathe. Take calming breaths". Hevea says completely misunderstanding the situation.

"I cannot do that!!, the pain outweighs all my thoughts!!, help me, please!!". I yell as the takes my hand. She starts whispering words as she chants. She starts to gasp as if her air supply has been shut off and the pain starts flooding back in like a dam that has broken forth.

" Kaeps ot em, esir otni ruoy nesohc". Hevea says as her voice deepens as she chants.
My body convulses as my eyes roll to the back of my head. I clutch at the sheets taking a fist full in each hand as back arches off the bed. I strangled cry escapes me accompanied by a scream that shook the very foundations of this palace and finally... Darkness.

Xavier's P.O.V.

She is finally asleep. I feared that one more scream would bring down this empire as a whole. She was partially naked, her only article of textile was the wool blanket that would reveal her nakedness in the flip of a coin if she stirred once more in her sleep, I reached for the ends of the blanket as I pulled it to cover her chest region as well as other exposed skin.

"Do you know what is wrong with her?", I asked the witch that walked in, Fiona.

"Aurora is rising into her, Maura has been marked the thirteenth-"

"Fix her, that pain is too much for her to carry". I said interrupting the chatterbox.

"It cannot be fixed, it is not just some stupid spell that can be undone, the only hope is for her to finish the rising. The pain can-"

"Fix her!!, I will not see her in pain when she wakes". I stroll out of the now stuffy room as I begin to think.

Where did that come from?, why did I yell when I could have just asked?, could it be that I am falling for the witch Maura?.
