Underworld Dawn of a New Age

Chapter 7

Jade

Once I left Drake and then I went upstairs to explore some more of the rooms. I found different bedrooms but there was nothing exciting. Well until I reached the end of the hall I found a beautiful room covered in dust.

It had different books, old ones, that depict our history and some of Drakes family history I think. I read some of the books and found them different from the one Tanis had but they were a good different. Instead of scrolls, they were books with gold and silver covers.

Some of the covers were also cover in blood-red silk. This room has no windows in it so I couldn't tell if the sun was coming with my eyes that is. My body is telling me the sun is up but Drake hasn't come for me yet so it does matter. I put the book I had back and was about to grab another but I heard a knock at the door.

I walked over, open it and say it was Kraven. "Did you need something."

"Yeah I want to show you something," he said. I looked at him and said, "What."

"It's a surprise now come on," he said. I know I should trust him but the way he is acting is making me question him. I looked at him and said, "Alright but make it quick I'm getting tired."

"I will now come."

I followed him to one of the rooms I missed and said: "What now."

"I want you to see what's in this room."

"Alright fine."

He opened the door and I saw the sun. I backed up, put my hands over my eyes and said: "What the hell Kraven."

He didn't say anything. All he did was throw me in the room straight into the sun. I yelled and backed up against the wall where the sun wasn't. I whimpered from my burns and heard Kraven say "I told you no one else will have you."

I was going to run for the door but he shut it. Dammit. "Dad, Drake help me" I yelled.

I put my hand in the sun and yelled once it touched me. Dammit if I stay in here the sun will touch me soon. I yelled again but no answer. I looked around the room and saw there was nothing in here for me to stay in the dark. I put my back against the wall and looked my wounds up and down.

They had healed just leaving red marks in their place but they hurt like hell. I need to get the hell out of here and get some blood. I heard Kraven talking to someone and then the door burst open. I saw Drake looking at me and looked pissed.

He cursed under his breath and ran into the room. He pushes me even more against the wall and said: "Get ready run to the door angel."

A small whimper escaped my lips making him say "I know it hurts but the faster you are out of here the better."

I shook my head yes and he said: "On three jade, one, two, three, go."

We both ran for the door and Drake did the best he could to protect from the sun as we ran outside the room. Once out of the room we both fell and as we did the door shut. Drake slowly got off of me but not before he ran his hand down my cheek. Drake backed up as dad ran up to me and looked me up and down.

He sat down next to me, pulled me to his chest making me whimper from burns as held me there for a minute until he said: "You need to feed."

I pulled from his embrace and said: "I will get something from the kitchen."

He was about to say something but then I looked at Drake and said: "Are you OK."

He just looked at me so I tried to get up but fell back down. He walked up to me, pulled me up to his chest and said: "I'm fine and you need to feed."
