Chapter 2
Something splattered on my face as I walked into the kitchen. my hand reached up and touched the liquid and I inspected it. Blood? why was their blood I looked over on the counter where a hooded figure was drinking from a victims neck. I yelled out "What are you doing" they didn't respond and I heard the victim beginning to choke on his own blood. I bolted and knocked the hooded figure to the ground and I looked over at the victim. That's where my eyes went wide with shock a little brown haired boy was lying dead covered in blood. Then I realized it was Andrew as a child I collapsed to my knees and screamed out" You Monster!" But as I looked over at the now mask less figure something snapped in me as I saw her…My face covered in his blood eyes glowing a sickly red.
I woke up screaming. I had to find Andrew I had to see that he was alright. I bolted from my bed threw on some clothes and sprinted out the door and down a couple of corridors. I dashed out the gate to where the stables where. I quickly found my Black horse Twilight mounted her and raced from the castle to the nearby village where I knew my father had stationed Andrew for the night.
When I reached the town the guards immediately let me in. I ran towards the gate where Andrew was stationed I dashed through the town and was relieved when I saw the gate but as I looked around I couldn't find him anywhere. I yelled over at one of the guards "Where is Sir Andrew I must see him immediately it's an emergency!" The Guard replied that she had seen him down by the riverbank where he was disposing of some animal carcasses. I bolted towards the riverbank praying I would find Andrew.
As I reached the riverbank I saw him throwing some corpses into the river. I collapsed into tears and called out "Andrew". Thank god vampires had such good ears because as soon as he heard me he bolted over. when he reached me I flung myself into his arms and kissed him. I had tears running down my face and as we kissed the world disappeared there was nothing but me and him no vampires no nightmares just us. Just then a full squad of soldiers rushed from the forest and surrounded us. "What is the meaning of this Lilith" I instantly recognized the voice of my father, we have finally been caught.
My father walked through a coupled a guards and toward us. "Lilith you have betrayed me and you have betrayed this family by involving yourself with this filth" He walked towards Andrew and with a flick of his wrist guards where on him "Sir Andrew you know all too well the consequences for your crime do you not?" Tears began to well up in my eyes again as Andrew nodded his head "You are sentenced to death". Death? no not Andrew what have I done. I screamed out "Noooooo" I rushed towards Andrew but before I could guards were on me holding me down on my knees. My father walked over "Lilith you are hereby sentenced to live out the rest of your days as a blood whore you are hereby disowned and you shall be forced to watch Andrews death as further punishment… guards take them away" The guards started to drag Andrew and I away "Father please don't, let me take Andrews place it's all my fault not his mine!" My father raised his hand and the guards halted and he walked over to me "Your no daughter of mine whore" He slapped me so hard I saw stars and then nothing.
I woke up on a stone floor, where was I and then it hit me everything from last night came rushing back to me. Where was Andrew I quickly got up and looked around the prison hoping to find out where Andrew was. Then I hear it a low whisper barley able to hear calling out Lilith from across the room. I bolted towards the sound, just across from my cell was Andrew completely clad in iron chains. "Lilith I'm so sorry" I started to cry "Lilith promise me you'll leave this place when you get the chance" I nodded not wanting to interrupt him " We both know I can't get out of this..but you can" A boom came from down the hall " Listen what is about to happen you got to keep quiet wait for the opportune moment and when you're ready run to my quarters and under the my bed there is a chest with everything you'll need in it to escape head for Skyrim" The guards came in and seized Andrew then unlocked his chains and dragged him off down the hall way.
Two more guards came in and restrained me then also dragged me off down the hall way and into the courtyard where thousands of people stood awaiting Andrews death. They dragged Andrew over to a stake sticking out of the ground surrounded by hey bales and chained him up. I was forced over to a pillar and chained up their facing Andrew. I looked over at the balcony as trumpets went off signaling my father's arrival.
My Father walked onto the castles balcony started to speak "This is a message to all who would disrupt my rule over this land" He gave the signal to his guards as they lit the torch and threw it on the hay bales. Andrew managed to yell " Lilith I love you" before his words where drowned out with screams. I couldn't believe what was happening I wanted it all to be a dream so badly I just wanted to wake up in my bed and go back to my normal life and as I was staring at my father something in me snapped. Such anger poured from my very being I thought I was going to choke on it that it was going to consume me. It was at that moment I knew… I was going to kill him and make him pay for everything he had done to me.
