To Dream of Her

Hagi

What a bore. I groaned pulling away from my willing servant. Licking the drops of her blood from my fangs. She was still writhing in pleasure and moaned in complaint as soon as I lifted my head. How I managed to live like this for two hundred and fifteen years is beyond me.

I leaned back against the couch, spreading my arms wide as I braced myself against the cushions. "You may leave." I said and pulled out my handkerchief to hastily wipe away the remaining drops of blood from my lips.

My fangs retracted once I was done cleaning myself and disposed the piece of cloth. I then noticed that she was still in front of me as she spoke up "Master?"

I looked down at her bored, "What is it?"

She began to rub herself against my legs. Brushing her breasts along my knees as she slowly spread them apart. "Let me take you to bed." She purred, flipping her long curly blonde hair over her shoulder. She looked up at me and licked her lips. "I can ease the tension in your muscles." Her hand drifted from my knee, up my thigh, and settled on my groin. "I can make you feel good." She began to rub. "Very good. I know you miss it."

I grasped her wrist in my hand, moving it away from her failed attempt, "I have already informed you, Rebecca, that I no longer require you for such acts."

"But, Master," she insisted, "it's been eighteen years since then." She let her hand wander again. "You haven't shared your bed with anyone since then. Not with me or the other women." She rolled her eyes. "You've even had it thrown out." She brought her other hand to rub her covered breasts. "Even if you don't want to go to your bed, mine is still available. Very comfy. There's an empty space in my bed that is waiting to be filled. Would you like to be that one?"

She tried to climb on top of me, but with my vampiric speed I managed to slip out from under her. Letting her fall on the pillows. "If you're so lonely then you may sleep with one of the other servants. Or maybe even one of my brothers."

She sat up and pouted. "But I want you."

I shook my head. "You may not have me."

Her pout turned into a glare and she hissed, "I have had you for a long time. So did a lot of the other women."

I clenched my fists. "Thank you so much for reminding me of how much of a whore I used to be."

She gaped at me. "You should be honored! All of the women within the estate want nothing more than for you to take them to bed." She smiled, "And I know you can't resist temptation from me."

I raised a brow at her. "I believe I just did. Just as I had for the last eighteen years." I turned my back to her and began to walk down the hallway. "Your efforts are useless. So I suggest that you quit being such a pest and leave me be."

She called after me. "Master Hagi!"

I paid her no mind. Just as I have for the past eighteen years.

I slammed the door of my bed chamber shut tight. The sounds of Rebecca's calls finally going dim. Ever since I have become celibate, she had become more and more persistent each passing year.

I sighed as I plopped myself down on my bed. She was right though. I did used to sleep with most of the female servants here. I did it for centuries. Not caring. If one of them offered me more service than the blood I needed, I certainly didn't oblige.

I rubbed my eyes. Dawn was coming. All of the locks and shutters on the windows will click into place in a minute or so. Which made me glad. It meant that I could go to sleep. And the sooner I went to sleep, the sooner I could dream. The sooner I could dream of her.

Her being the reason I became celibate and rejected other women. It started eighteen years ago. That day was when my life changed forever.

It was mid-day. Another five hours until dusk. Meaning that I was still sleeping. Along with all of the other vampires within the castle. One of the servant women had left hours ago. What her name was, I forgot, but I don't care. She meant nothing to me.

But enough of that. I had been restless the entire time I had been trying to sleep. My dreams were taking me everywhere. I didn't know where exactly they were taking me. Finally I became still, and found where my dream had taken me.

There was a beautiful young girl there. She looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years of age and was stroking some pink roses. She had long black hair that went passed her posterior. Eyes so big and auburn the held much gentleness. Nice pale skin with the most tender touch.

She looked up from her flowers and met my gaze. Once her eyes met mine, a glorious smile spread across those luscious pink lips.

I was frozen on the spot. It was for me. That smile she was making was meant for me and me alone. I just knew it.

I slowly walked over to her. Hoping not to frighten her. But she held her ground. She didn't even back away once I offered my hand to her. Instead her eyes brightened as she took my hand in her own and let me help her up.

"Hi," She said.

Her voice sounded like the symphony of birds. "How do you do?" I asked.

She giggled. "Very well thank you."

I smiled down at her. She was quite petite. Her head was a few inches below my shoulders. How adorable. "What might be your name?"

She looked up at me and blushed. "It's…Saya."

My eyes closed in bliss. Saya. "That is a beautiful name."

She blushed harder. "Thank you. What's your name?"

I rubbed her cheek. "It's Hagi."

"Hagi," The sound of my name coming from her lips almost made me lose it right then and there. "I like it."

I stroked her hair, "As I like yours."

She looked away from me and up at the sky. She frowned and pulled herself away from me, "I must go."

I frowned and try to put my arms around her, "What…why? Can't you stay?"

She shook her head, "I'm afraid not. Not until next month."

I took her hand in mine, "Why so long?"

She smiled, "You'll see." And then she was gone.

"Saya!" I shouted out into the universe. Little did I know that I was still in my room. I looked around and was panting heavily. Was it only a dream? I placed my hand on top of my non-beating heart. It felt like it could pop out of my chest still. No. It was much more than that.

Whatever it was, I had no clue. I just threw off the covers and quickly dressed into my clothes. Putting on my usual choice of attire. A white button up shirt and dark grey trousers. I walked out of my room without a second though. Being completely blasé about what had happened during my dream.

Unfortunately one of my brothers attacked me before I could get any further. "Hagi!" Shouted my annoying brother Nathan. He had his arms wrapped around me from behind while poking my cheek "And how are you, big Brother?"

"Get off me, Nathan." I ground out. "Quit being a drama queen and leave me to my thoughts."

He pouted and blew in my ear, making me reach behind and pulled him over my shoulders and towards the nearest wall. He knew how much I hate being blown in the ear. Which was why he did it. The fool.

He managed to do a summersault before hitting the wall and gently tapped it with his feet before going down. "So feisty, Brother," He commented and landed on his toes. "But I can not leave you to your thoughts because Amshel has requested that we all meet with him in the board room."

I rolled my eyes. "And what could possibly be so important that we're all needed?"

He stuck his tongue out and said, "You'll just have to find out when we get there, brother."

"Fine." I growled and followed him to the board room.

As we entered, I took my usual seat beside Amshel. Our eldest brother. He was the first born. I was second, our brother Solomon third, Nathan fourth, Karl fifth, then our adopted brother James was sixth. A full household.

"Welcome, Brothers." Amshel greeted and we all nodded our heads in acknowledgement. "As you are well aware, I have some news. And you might find it interesting. Do you all remember Rensington Carlosito?"

Solomon spoke up, "Isn't his family best known for their great reputation in the aristocracy for their jewels?"

Amshel nodded. "That is correct." Then he grinned. "Until just recently," He opened a folder that was in front of him and read aloud. "It says here that he has lost his power with aristocracy. But not because he was thrown out, but because he left,"

Karl raised a brow. "What on earth for?"

"His mate," Amshel replied.

Solomon scratched his chin, "Why would his mate affect it?"

Amshel sighed. "Because his mate is a human,"

The roar of expected outrage rang around the room like a fire alarm.

"What is that man thinking?" Karl demanded.

"A little rebel huh?" Nathan purred. "Just what I love in a man?

James hit Nathan upside the head with his folder. Scowling he said, "Please keep those thought of yours to yourself, brother."

Nathan shrugged, "You're just jealous."

James rolled his eyes replied sarcastically, "Of course I am."

"There's more." Amshel said.

Solomon groaned. "What now?"

Amshel looked at the papers. "His so-called mate appears to have given birth yesterday. To twin girls,"

I had been drumming my fingers on the table when Karl slammed his hand on the table. "You must be joking." I stopped my fingers and listened closely.

Amshel shook his head. "I have not. They tried to keep it under radar and had a home delivery, but failed. The names of the girls are Saya and Diva."

I stood from my seat and started at my brother. "What. Did. You. Say?" I ground out.

He raised a brow at me. "Something wrong, Brother?"

I clenched my fist. "What were the girl's names?"

His didn't budge. "Brother, what on earth−"

I slammed my fist on the table, "Tell me their names again! Now!"

His eyes widened, "Saya and Diva. It is said that Saya is the first born."

"Saya…" I murmured. It was her. I thought. The girl from my dreams. I dreamt of her last night because of her birth. That must mean she is my…my…

I looked back at Amshel. "Let me see Saya's picture." At his silent look I growled. "Give it to me now, Brother, or else I will take from you by force."

Amshel looked taken aback. "Hagi, must you−"

"Now!"

He threw the photo at me and I took it in my hand. With one last glare, I looked away from my brother and at the picture. Only then did I freeze.

In the photograph was a newborn infant, not even a day old. And her eyes…were auburn. And among those lips was a small smile. The same smile that welcomed me in my dreams.

I couldn't help but smile back at the photo. "My Saya."

"Your Saya?" Solomon demanded. "Brother, have you gone mad?"

I bared my fangs and hissed at him. "I have never been more right of mind. I had a dream as I slept. And it was of this child." I looked back at the photo and stroked her face. "This half-vampire will one day be my mate."

"You would dare mate with a half-breed?" Amshel demanded.

I looked back at him. "I will mate with her. I can certainly wait."

Karl laughed at that. "As if you can wait that long. No doubt you'll drive all of the servants mad."

I shook my head. "I will bed with no one else but her now. And she, I will make love to."

"She's an infant!" James shouted.

"As I said, I will wait for her." I replied.

"She's also a half-breed." Nathan mused.

I shook my head. "That matters not to me. She is my destined. I will no longer sleep with any of the servants. Saya will be the only one who will accompany me to my bed." And with that being said, I got up out my chair and left.

"You are a madman, Hagi!" Amshel shouted behind me. "Father and Mother will role around in their graves listening to you like this."

"Let them." I said. "They can't stop me from falling in love." I looked back at him and smiled with pure hatred. "And neither can you."

I laughed at that memory as I settled into my bed. Even at first glance of a photograph of a newborn infant, I knew it was her. She had just turned eighteen last month. Meaning that she will soon hit maturity if she hasn't already. She will need me there to help her.

Then I will have her live here with me, as my mate. I will not rush her. When she is ready. But I know that she has been dreaming of me too. I would occasionally sit outside her window and watch her. For the past year she had been mumbling my name in her sleep. She also hung drawing of me on her walls. That was when I knew, it was almost time before she became mine.

My lovely Saya.

I dare someone to try and take her from me. No one will keep her from me. She is mine and mine alone.
