Bound by Fate: Love And Desire

Let's Go Home

This castle is actually the Burg Hohenzollern castle in Germany but I thought it looked great for Lord Senics' home.

    The next morning I woke still tired and still wrapped in the familiar warm embrace of Abraxas. Something was off though, I could feel something warm and sticky on us. Opening my eyes everything was red. The sheets, my hands, his chest. Blood covered us both and I sat up in fear. A stake rammed through Abraxas' chest in his sleep a scream arising from my mouth as laughter consumed this scene. Looking over, a woman in a black robe stood in the center of the room and to the corner I saw the smirking face of Tony. "N-no... What have you done!? You're dead! I watched my father kill you!" I screamed at him. "That may be true my dear but my body will be fixed." he told me. "So... You are gone. Meaning.. Im still sleeping." I realized in relief. "For now yes, unless you don't put my body back together properly... then I'm afraid this is the future for my beloved brother." he said with an evil smile. "No!!" I screamed, the woman's hands grabbing my shoulders.

    "Melissa!!" Abraxas yelled making my eyes snap open and my voice stop screaming. "Abraxas!" I yelled as I hugged him, crying into his chest like a child. "Sh.. It's okay Melissa. I'm here. What happened?" he said quietly as he tried to calm me. "Oh... it was awful. We were sleeping but you were dead when I woke up with some woman in the room in a black robe. Tony was there saying he was giving me that nightmare..." I spoke frantically as Abraxas shushed me. "It's okay Melissa.." he said quietly as he ran his fingers through my hair soothingly. "No.. It's not! He said if I didn't fix his body that he would kill you..." I whispered but he seemed to ignore me.

    It took me a little while before I calmed down. We lay there safely for some time before he sighed. "Let's get you fed, and take a walk? Hm?" he offered, this was something I couldn't refuse. Once again I had to drink from him and vomit some time later in the day. Speaking of later, I'll probably be talking to Lilith about this nightmare.

    I fed off Abraxas and changed right after into tight blue jeans and a t-shirt. I hate dresses, which is why I never go to the closet. Abraxas took me out to the courtyard, where we walked for a while before Lord Senic decided to make an appearance. "L-lady Melissa.." he called to me, seeming to have something on his mind. "One sec." I told Abraxas before heading over to him. "Evening to you." He said with a small bow at his waist. "And to you, something on your mind?" I asked noticing his eager movements. "Well... I was thinking throughout the day and I just thought maybe you'd like to come back to my castle. Where you were meant to grow up." he stated slightly taking me by surprise. "Why would I want to do that? If you also remember from last night you're just a friend to me and nothing more." I stated. "Friends don't go over to eachothers home and spend time together?" he asked making me sigh. "...You know what... I'll think about it." I said, walking away after seeing him smile slightly and moving to walk back to Abraxas. 

    Before I got to him I stopped, seeing a girl standing in the courtyard, alone. She was in a velvet black robe, her green hair peeking from under her hood where her face couldn't been seen. Before I knew who she was a stake slid from her sleeve and into her hand. "No!" I screamed making Abraxas look up and move to me quickly. "What? Melissa what's wrong?" he asked shaking me. "T-there..." I stated pointing to her. "What? What are you pointing to?" he said looking in that direction. "The girl! Don't you see her! She's there!" I yelled, pointing again and again. "Melissa... I don't see anyone." he said quietly. I went wide eyed. He doesn't... see her?

    I heard an evil chuckle behind me, causing me to turn. "Maybe it isn't just your dreams." said a seemingly self satisfied Tony. He was giving me hallucinations. "Son of a bitch..." I whispered. "What now?" he asked. "Tony... He's... He's giving me hallucinations." I stated making Abraxas look confused. "I gotta find Lilith." I said and started running. Seeing the worried face of my father as I ran from the courtyard and into the castle looking for Lilith.
