The Primals (Book 3)

Chapter 7

((Hello my beautiful lovlies!!!!! Sorry it's taken so long to update this. Please comment, vote, and fan. You know I love you.))

As soon as I walked inside with Faren in tow, I went to search for Claudia and Christian, they both needed to know what was going on with Claudia's wolf and I personally felt that the wolves needed to be slightly punished for acting like such pups. As we walked, I kept a tight fist on Faren's collar. "Please understand, you are just a guest and while I firmly believe in being fair to animals, I also believe in punishing them for incorrect actions. My punishments do not involve beatings and the like. But the wolves shan't go outside today or tomorrow, and this is their punishment. I don't know who started the fight in the green house, but I assure you that you won't go outside either. I believe the punishment should fit the crime." I said and stopped in front of the study. I was about to knock on the door when I heard Claudia and Christian's voices on the other side of the door. They were muffled, but I could still make out what they were saying.

I listened intently on their very intense and in-depth conversation. "Christian, don't be foolish. Eliza is only a human. What could she have to offer you? Have you forgotten about my sister? Your wife?" Claudia's voice asked. I could just imagine Christian pacing back and forth in his office...wait...did she just say wife? I placed my hand against my lips to keep myself from crying out. I stumbled backwards, releasing Faren's collar and slammed with all my body weight into the dark paneled wall across from the study door. I felt the stinging pain in the corners of my eyes and felt the tears glide down my face, along the bridge of my nose, down my cheeks, and down the tips of my shaking fingers that were still clutched to my face. I felt my nose start to run as I attempted feebly to fight back the emotions that were pooling in my soul. I'd never experienced what it was like to have your heart ripped from your chest, but this was what it felt like right now.

I couldn't believe how foolish I'd been, giving my virginity to a man I barely knew and now I find out he's married. I stumbled forwards, slamming into a table the paid in my arm not even registering in my head. I heard something clatter against the table and looked up to see a very old and very expensive vase sitting there, rattling. I picked up the vase and threw it, with as much might as I could muster into the wall. I heard Faren yelp and saw him cowering in the corner, shaking as if I was going to beat him within an inch of his life. Realizing what I had done I stared wide eyed at the shattered vase on the floor, for only a split second and then I ran, blindly towards the front door, slamming into things, knocking things over and making a complete mess of everything and anything in my way. When I finally reached the front door I yanked it open. I needed to get out of here!!! I needed to run! But I wouldn't leave my wolves with the destroyer of my world! He was a destroyer of my world!!!!! I immediately realized I'd been running towards the front gates and changed direction towards the green house. As soon as I arrived I closed the doors and locked them. I then ran, I wanted to run until my heart gave out. I had no idea when or where the parameters of the green house were, but I was happy that I could be here.

I had been so busy running and letting out my frustration, that slammed into one of the wolves the wolf falling down with me as I face planted into the gravel I'd been running on. Oh just wonderful. Now I was a hot bloody mess. I tried to clean scratch up body as best as I could and then turned my attention to the wolf. It was Chester as I so fondly called him, one of the centennials. "I'm sorry Chester." I said and then clung to him and cried. My tears soaked his fur, making him much hotter, I was certain. But he didn't mind. He just sat there panting and licking my arms and hands as best he could, trying to calm me. Quiet sobs escaped my lips and then I heard him growl and I turned in the direction that he was growling in. He was looking at the direction of the door to the green house. And then I heard in. There was a banging on the door, but just as quickly as it had begun it stopped. I sighed in relief, but kept my face buried in Chester's fur. "Eliza." I heard the breathy sound of the Master...er, Christian's voice. "What do you want?" I all but snapped, keeping my face buried in Chester's fur. "Don't be angry with Claudia. Sometimes she says things, without knowing she causes offense." He said placing a hand on my shoulder, but I shrugged out of it, like a small child. "Why didn't you tell me you were married?" I asked turning to look at him. "Please you don't," he started to say, but I cut him off. "Don't tell me I don't understand. I am after all a human and I don't have anything to offer you." I said lowering my head and then I ran as fast as I could from the green house.

I didn't want to be disturbed by anyone, not even my own wolves. I just wanted to be left alone for a while. Later in the evening Yvette stopped by my room and left a tray of food for me, but I didn't want to touch it. I felt used, and it made me want to crawl under a rock, curl up in a ball, and just die. I hated life right now, and I wasn't about to forgive anyone. I lay wide awake in bed that night watching the marshmallow like clouds move gracefully across the sky, why couldn't I be a cloud? They never had any worries. They just floated gracefully, with no cares; they didn't have to deal with love, hate, and other unneeded emotions. They were just there to give people pleasure. My eyes looked at the full moon that sat there proudly in the sky. I slightly looked towards the door as it opened; I could barely see Christian as he peek into my room. I slowly closed my eyes, pretending I was asleep. I could feel his breath on my ear. "Are you awake?" He whispered. I had to keep myself from smiling and I moaned ever so slightly and rolled over, so my face was just inches away from him. I don't know what time he actually left, or if he did leave, but I only knew when my body started feeling like it was floating on a cloud.

I looked around to find myself standing in a large and very dark round room. In, what I assumed was the front of the room, were seven pulpits that seemed to levitate off of the ground. I was standing in the middle of the round room a single beam of light surrounded me. Where was this place? Then the voice came. The voice was haunting, but beautiful at the same time, the voice was sad and full of longing. "It's been so long since I've had any company. My visitors have always come in their dreams." The woman's voice said, sighing. "Can I see you?" I blurted out and then immediately covered my mouth. I watched as the woman appeared from nowhere. She stepped forward, the curls in her long blonde hair bouncing as she stepped forward. I could see the dress she was in, it looked straight out of the dark ages. But she was beautiful and her eyes seemed to sparkle as she took me in. She stopped at the edge of the light as if something was holding her back from coming all the way towards me. "My but you are beautiful." Her voice sang. "I was thinking the same thing about you." I said, my eyes glued to her with un-surmounted pleasure. I saw a genuine smile play across her lips, her smile grew so it was showing her teeth, and then I noticed her fangs. "You're a vampire like Christian." I said, the words just spilling out of my mouth involuntarily I immediately clapped my hand over my mouth "I-I'm sorry." I said my ears flushing pink.

I heard her chuckle; it was a soft lovely sound. "It's quite alright." She said slowly circling around me, like she was trying to determine my weakness. "You know my Christian?" She asked smiling and arching an eye brow. I merely nodded not being able to trust my mouth. "He's a different man now. He's not once as he was." She informed me, crossing her arms over her chest. "My darling, what is your name?" She asked. "I'm Eliza." I offered, as if I was under a spell. Something about this blonde bombshell was off. Something in my gut was telling me not to trust her. "I would so desperately like to see my husband once again." The blonde said her voice offering a slight and sorrowful whine. "Would you help me?" She asked turning her gaze to mine once again. Something inside me told me not to go to her, but I couldn't resist the way those eyes were looking at me. I quickly stepped from the safety of the light towards the blonde, my hand reaching towards her.

I gasped at her touch as she took my hand softly. "Relax." She said and leaned into me. "This will allow me to see through your eyes." She said and then, she did something I wasn't expecting. I felt her fangs pierce my neck. The pain was bewildering and I cried out, trying to struggle away from her grasp, but she firmly held both my wrists together with one hand, and the nails from her other hand dug into the back of my neck causing me great pain and distress. I again cried out as her fangs seemed to protrude deeper into my neck. The last thing I remembered was the pain and then I began to float on a cloud.
