A Vampire's Slave

XXIX

Marriage! My oh my!

I know I was to marry Callicus soon for he has always talked about it, but surely the ring he has gotten me, what a beauty.

I look at the ring and then at Callicus. His eyes were back brown as he held the ring in his hand. I merely nod my head as he pulls my hand and slip the ring onto my finger.
He smiles as he kisses my forehead.

"I shall prepare then! We shall marry as soon as possible!" Callicus spoke as he left out of the room.
I smile as he walks out the room, forgetting all about the painful discipline I encountered with him.

That is not who we are to marry! He is not our love!
The voice came back! But what was it speaking of? Callicus is my love!

No! Eron is our love, our mate, our everything! He was the one to give us this ring first! That basket, came from him, he gave us all of these things!

As this voice continue to talk all of this nonsense I look at the ring that glistened upon my finger, and almost like magic, everything burst into my face from this Farrah person.

It is clear there is no way of ridding her.

That witch tried to kill me! She tried to take the werewolf part out of you but it didn't work! Had that witch forgot that you are very powerful? You are more powerful than any spell that they could throw on you Isabella. You are powerful! We are powerful. And it's time to stop being a victim of everyone's doing, we must get out of here, we mustn't stay here, this isn't right.

This...thing, Farrah, continued to talk to me, giving me a pep talk, she continuously told me about this Eron guy, that he is the person I truly love. But how is it possible? How can I love someone I simply do not know?

Isabella, once you see his face, then the spell will be broken, we just have to break this love spell, your stronger than this spell! We should move..now..before he forces you into marriage!

"H-How do I know this isn't some sort of trick?" I spoke aloud. I kept my voice low. Being unaware of Callicus whereabouts, I wish for him not to here me.

A trick, Isabella? Why would I trick you? I know deep down you wish to leave this place don't you?

Truly there have been many times when I wished I could leave and just be one with the world! To have Callicus by my side and he and I have a jolly fun time outside.

Can't you see that you aren't truly happy with Callicus? How he hits you? If he truly loved you, he would place his hands upon you. He does not love you!

"That is a lie. Callicus does love me! He loves me so!" My voice grew an inch higher and instant fear sturck my heart. Fear that Callicus would come storming in again.

Do you feel that? It's fear! You should not fear the one you love, Isabella!

"You speak as though you know everything" I spoke to this Farrah person.

I know enough, and what I also know is that Eron is awaiting our presence, he will truly love us without harming us in no way! We just need to get out of here.

"We?"

Yes! We are one. Just please Isabella, let us see-

"No Callicus loves me! I love him, I cannot leave him for another man" I spork firmly.

If you truly believe he loves you, put it to the test, tell him what Mochief asked of you.

"How did you know about that?"
