My Sire Is A Myth

Chapter 30

"You know you will have to open up eventually, or inflicting pain will become a daily incident."

"I don't know anything", I said weakly.

'Yes you do, you could tell them about your dreams.'

I took a breath to start telling them about my dreams.

"You wouldn't do that, now would you", his smooth voice filled my ears.

'I would'

His voice seemed closer than ever, "Don't you dare," he whispered

"My dreams", I squeezed out forcefully. The kings head snapped towards me and his brows were furrowed.

"What did you say?" he asked quietly.

"Gatáki, stop and don't make me make you."

"I've had a few very peculiar dreams that...", I stopped.

"You want it the hard way, I see." he interrupted.

"That what?" King Lathan urged.

"They...." an unexplainable fire ignited in my throat that seemed to roast my vocal cords and I coughed and gagged furiously. I groaned and looked for help towards the king but he just stood rooted to the ground bestowing me with unreadable expressions.

"They send me to...", I squealed and clutched my throat hoping for the agony to subside.

"Say it already". King Lathan urged.

"I can't, he doesn't let me." As my words registered the king's eyes grew big.

"Who is he.", he walked closer.

I opened my mouth but nothing than a strange noise came out.

The king sighed again and turned to walk out of the room.

"This brings us nothing, he has complete control over her.", he growled.

"An érthete edó tha pethánoume, allá an mas voithísete eseís synithisménoi, What does it it mean?" the king swiveled around and glared at me hard.

"From where do you get that?",he stepped closer and his eyes narrowed.

"Dream", I choked out.

The kings expression turned from surprise to anger.

"What does it mean?" I asked again.

The king looked at me intensely, "Where do your dreams take you?"

When I tried to answer I couldn't and the king's face fell. 

"It means 'if you come here you will die, but if you help us you won't' ." 

I gasped, remembering how 'he' had told me that it was a dead witches spirits residence.

"You understand it", I told him in wonder.

King Lathan only scoffed.

"Where were you?" he asked sternly.

"Why won't you let me tell him?", I asked 'him'

"Because he will use you".I was so excited to hear a response.

"For what?"

"To obtain information that could kill you."

"I will die anyway"

"You will not", he growled angrily, then he left.

As the King saw I couldn't answer he asked.
