Apollo pulled some of his old strings and brought in some makeup artists. They dyed my hair Black and put some brown highlights in my eyes. They brought spray tan in a can to tan my body without using mold. Once they finished and left the room I felt masons strong arms hold me.

“Jessie, I wish you weren’t doing this.”

“We can’t just march in there and kill her. None of our troops would stand a chance. We have to get her from the inside out. She thinks she has everything and everyone under control. She won’t be expecting it. In the end it will be her own ignorance to be her downfall.”

“But why does it have to be you?”  With a swift motion I bring him down till our lips are lever and press my lips against his.

“I need to finish what she started, and make sure it stays finished.”

Outside everyone was running all around, but when they saw me they stopped talking and moving and bowed. I’m still not used to all this respect just because I’m part of a certain family.

“Jessie are you ready?” Apollo is standing by the box carriage that has three black horses connected to the front. It might be just me, but I was half expecting a limo or at least a car. The guard standing by the corner of the carriage lifts me in then steps back.

“When you are ready my lady give the word.”  With a nod mason steps up to me and kisses my cheek.

“Jessie you need to be careful. Come back to me. I love you so much and you just can’t leave me now.”

“Mason ill never leave you. I love you.” With a tight squeeze to his hand he steps away and I give the word to close the solid door.

The anxiety I’ve held in can come out now that I’m not holding an audience. My heart pounds at an uncontrollable rate and sweat drips down my face. Another reason I’m glad we did the tan instead of the mold.  In an attempt to calm myself I bring my knees up to my chest and curl up like I used to as a child.  It’s time to admit to myself what I didn’t have the guts to tell mason; there is no way I’m going to make it out of this alive.

Her hideout was nothing less than expected. A large dingy castle that was in obvious need of repair with little windows lining the sides, and the only entrance or exit that was visible was at the front of the building that out could on get to by a draw bridge that lowers over a mote.  When the door opens I’m thrown down on a stone path onto my stomach and my hands are bound behind my back. When we walk onto the bridge the guards feet splinter off wood. We walk into the two large doors and I’m thrown down in front of a large granite throne. I look around to see the faces of her followers. Some are humans walking around offering their blood. Others are vampires young and old, then some are vampires of the royal family… traitors … 

“Guards who would this be?”

“This is a girl that traveled with the Royal and her lover. She fell behind and one of our men found her.”

“Will she talk?”

“Won’t say a word.”

“Well, let me see her face.” The guard grips the bottom of my face and lifts it up to face the woman sitting on her throne. Just like Azarath seen her; her long midnight black hair flows down past her waist her slender body sits perfectly into her throne and her long slender legs cross past one another. Her long red dress flows well past her feet and her skin has blotches of blood on it, probably from her last meal. She would be a beautiful woman if her face wasn’t so sharp and cruel, and her eyes didn’t glow a bright red that was full of hatred and un-forgiveness. Beside her sat a young girl around my age of 16. She looked a lot like her mother accept she wore her hair pined up in a golden pin and her eyes were a deep ocean blue.

“Young lady, you do know if you do not talk you will suffer a horrible death. It is very rude not to speak to your ruler.”

“Ruler? No in think you’re sadly mistaken. A ruler would not take in traitors. Therefore you are no ruler of mine.”  My words come out as a bitter hiss between my teeth.

“Bruno please take this young lady down to the torture chamber and get her to tell us the whereabouts of her ‘Ruler’”

“Yes my queen.” This guard named Bruno practically drags my though the halls and shoves me in front of him down multiple star cases. He pulls me into a room with chains hanging onto the walls and barbed wire hanging lose out of posts. In the center of the room there is a long table with multiple knives hanging off the sides. Some with curved edges, come seriated, and others specially made for gutting. My stomach clenches at the thought of those knives getting anywhere near me.

“Lay down now.” I do as he says and lay down. The table has one extra surprise I was not expecting. Barbed wire pushes into my back and blood pours from my body. The pain goes through my body makes me feel numb all over.

“Mmm… young lady you smell delicious.” He pushes my head to the side and bites into my neck. Time passes while he drains me of my blood and I begin to feel faint. Then the man lets go and clenches his chest.

“This- This is royal blood! You- You are the Girl!” His eyes go white and his body falls to the ground. It takes me a while but I lift myself from the wire in my back and kneel beside the man that fed from me. I grip the bottom of his stubbly chin and tilt his head up reveling his dirty neck. No matter how repulsing his skin may be the blood that waits for me is fresh and warm. My fangs enter the side of his neck and sink into the vein. All the wounds on my back heal and my energy is restored. I strip myself of my dirty outer garments and stay in my clothed tank top and ripped skinny jeans. My shoes were taken from me upon entering so I have no choice but to go without shoes. I re-trace my steps and walk through the corridors I was led through until I reach the main room. The door leading to the outside is left un-guarded; taking a look around I hurry and begin to push the doors open until a soft voice behind me speaks.

“I knew it was you, mother can be so stupid at times.” I turn around and see Victoria.

“How did you know it was me?”

“My mother is blinded by power and ignorance. She couldn’t see through a trick if it hit her in the face.”

“Then why didn’t you tell her?”

“You’re worth more than me, my mother always says she wishes I came out like you.”

“Then why would you not tell her?”

“Because I want this killing to stop, if you are anything like my mother says. You can help cant you?”

“Of course I can.”

“Then do it.” Victoria and I push the door as hard as we can until it opens.

“Victoria what are you doing?” Victoria and I quickly turn around.

“Mother...”

“Heatris.”
