Bound with fear

More Visions

……….. “Is she still sleeping?” I heard a voice

“Yes and she doesn’t need to be disturbed right now” Iagan was still there

“I am awake” I said rubbing my hands over my face

‘I have come to help you dress Mistress” a girl around Anya’s age stood in the door way with a long swath of blue material draped over her arms.

“Where is Anya?” I pushed back the covers Iagan’s eyes tracking my movements

“I haven’t seen her Mistress” she kept her head bowed I looked at Iagan who looked at the floor before looking at me “The Master wants to see you as soon as possible” her voice was shaking “He sent me to prepare you”

“Come in” I took a deep breath as the girl walked into the room and over to a doorway to the right and opened it to a gleaming bathroom she reached over the tub and turned on the water adding liquids to it as it filled Iagan walked over to the fire and added more wood “Did you rest?”

“A little” he nodded “my dreams haunt me mo bhean” He straightened as the girl came from the bathroom “And walked over to him and handed his a pile of clothes. He nodded at her

“Mistress” she gestured to the bathroom I took a shaky step toward it. Iagan dropped the clothes onto the chair and caught my arm

“Let me help” he walked with me across the floor to the bathroom the girls eyes flicked from me to Iagan and then to the tub.

“What’s wrong?” I asked her

“The Guardian is supposed to not leave your side even while you bathe” she bit her lip

“And why is that?”

“In case someone tries to harm you” Iagan folded his arms tight across his bare chest I looked at the girl

“Are you about to harm me?” she dropped to her knees in front of me

“Never Mistress… I’m here to serve as your maid”

“What’s your Name?”

“Mia mistress”

“Iagan go do what you were going to do I’ll be fine”

“But…”

“Check her for weapons Guardian if you must unless you want to see me in the water” I watched his cheeks flame a little before he turned and hoisted Mia from the floor and stripped her of the cloak she wore leaving her in a loose white gown. I watched as his hands moved over her body molding the fabric to her form she flinched as his hands ran over and under her breasts and then down between her thighs, her mouth falling open a little. I tipped my head as I saw something flare in her eyes as he stood up and she took in his body in front of her, I narrowed my eyes “Iagan?”

“She has no weapons mo bheani” he didn’t’ even look at her face as he turned to me

“Then leave us?” He bowed his head and walked out of the room leaving the door open that I suppose I could give him. Mia took a shaking breath and helped get the night clothes off me and I stepped into the water. And sank in until my shoulder submerged. Pain streaked through my head…..

…………… “I can see you watching her Seth” the sound of my Fathers voice brought me from the darkness. I was in some room with and open view to other rooms across and expanse of seats.

“Well Father the Remus box is conveniently across from ours” Seth smiled as he adjusted the cufflinks he was wearing

“Yes but brother dearest you’ve been walking with her for weeks now” I looked round and felt my heart jump as the voice came from Cole who I’d watch burn and die “And you still haven’t taken her!”

“Cole” Father snapped “You tried that way if you remember at least Seth is doing it right aren’t you my boy?” he looked at Seth who nodded and bowed a little

“Right smite” another voice added to the mix “and the other male that was being trapped before leant forward in the flickering candle light “We know what we’re to do Seth you should take what’s ours”

“Mine Marco” Seth rounded on him “Star Remus is mine and don’t you forget it”

“Hmmm if you keep taking so long she’ll pass the age” Marco laughed “What are you afraid of it’s not like you haven’t lay with a woman before” Seth stepped forward

“Boys we’re here for a night at the opera and that’s what we will have” Father interjected Seth took a step back. something caught his eye across from them I looked up to see Star with a male and female a smile on her face looking truly beautiful she nodded something and walked out of the room they were in.

“Excuse me I will go and see about drinks” Seth turned and walked away closing the door behind him

“He’s fallen in love with her Father you know that right?” Marco looked at Father

“He wouldn’t that would betray everything I raised him to do, we cannot strike before next weekend and her 21st birthday you know that after that she is ours without the fight and we get the child we require”

‘And If Seth is in love with her?” Cole asked

“He WON’T BE” Father raged a little the room felt like it was shaking “He is of my flesh he will do what I require and after she bares his child he will take her life as planned”…………………………

………….. I felt my back arch as I took a huge breath; arms were round me in the water holding me tightly. Mia was cowering in the corner curled on the floor

“See why the Guardian must stay” Iagan hissed in my ear

“I must see my father” I spluttered

“Not like this” he moaned “Mia get to your feet and help the Mistress from the water and help her dress” Mia moved nervously and shakily to her feet as Iagan lifted me to the side of the tub holding me secure as she wrapped a towel around me. Iagan got out of the water and lifted me on to a seat in front of a mirror “I will not leave you again” he turned his back on me and began to strip out of his wet clothes

“Sweet heaven” Mia gasped as he stepped out of his pants I reached for a towel and draped it round his waist before turning back to face us

“Mia you were told to do your job do you need the master to know you are not doing what he asked” his tone was hard as his body I looked away from his as he pulled on a loose white shirt and reached for the black pants from the chair by the door pulling them on under the towel he sat down and waited while Mia attended to me…………….
