The Sweet Sound of you
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the LOK character but I own Aino and another character that I come up with.
Turel made his way back to the human village through the forest. He would reach it before midnight, however the challenge was going to be getting Aino. He knew where her window was, but he couldn't just climb up to her window. Well, he could since he was a vampire then she maybe asking a lot of questions.
Turel had finally reached the stronghold still without a plan of action. To himself, "I guess I am just going to have to climb up the wall and enter through her window. I hope there no one with her."
Turel ascends up the side of the stronghold using his crawls to dig into the wall. Just about half way up a Sarafan solider pass underneath so Turel pushes his body up against the wall. The Sarafan solider stops right under him and stops to light a cigarette. Finally, the soldier moves on and Turel can continue up the wall. To himself, "Finally, now I just have to enter quietly."
Crash
Turel fell right through the window and landed right on top of a desk causing all kinds of papers to fly into the air. He remain frozen in place, hoping that no one hear his entrance. Turel slips off the desk and approaches Aino bed. She wasn't in bed.
"Shit, where did she go?'
All of sudden the door flings open and Turel hits the ground to hide under the bed. Aino entered the room carrying a glass of water.
"Do I need to clear the room for you my lady?" asked one of guards.
"No, I am fine. I just want to sleep." I replied to the guard.
The guard followed Aino into the room.
"I told you I didn't need you to clear the room," I said as I turned towards him.
"I am not here to clear the room anymore." He pushed me down onto the bed. He reached to rip my shirt off.
Turel jumped up and grab the guard by the neck.
"You better not touch her again or I will rip your throat out," Turel stared right into the guard's eyes.
He threw the guard across the room and through the door. Turel moved toward the door and slammed the door shut.
"Are you crazy Jacob? There is another guard out there who is going to be in here in a minute," I yelled at him.
"Where are the items we got today from the magic shop," he yelled back. "I will worry about the guard later."
"There are in my desk," I replied. I got up and walked over to my desk.
Just then I heard a bang at the door.
"What is going on in there?" one of the guards yelled. "If you don't answer we will break down the door."
"Listen, you have to get out before they arrest you."
"Yes, however I believe you are coming with me, Aino," Jacob/Turel said grabbing me and jumped out the window holding me close to him.
We slid down the side of the stronghold. How the hell can he do this?
"Jacob, what the hell are you thinking? Not only are you in trouble now, but also, so am I. Even if we got outside the city walls where would we go? More importantly what gave you the idea I wanted to come with you?" I yelled at him.
I stared at him waiting for an answer; something seemed really different about him. He was not only wearing new clothes, well if you call them clothes; leather pants and some kind of upper body armor looking thing, but his face had change. Before, I could say anything more he grab me pulling me towards the forest. I tried to resist him but it was no use. What had I gotten myself into?
We entered the forest and still he hadn't said a word to me. I was beginning to wish I had never met the man. Behind us I could here the knights they were getting closer. He stopped in the middle of a clearing, and I slammed right into his back. He didn't even move a muscle but looked around the clearing. All I wanted now was to go home and sleep in my nice warm bed.
He let go of me for just a second and let out a whistle. I heard a horse galloping and the next thing I knew I was on the back of one. I could still hear the knights behind us, however now we had entered into one of the clan's territories. They were not that foolish to follow us, but I was beginning to wish they did.
I had no idea where we were and still no word from Jacob. I was beginning to believe that I was going to become some kind of meal for a vampire. In the distance however I could make out some kind of building, but I had never seen anything like it. It looked like a stronghold in many ways, high wall to protect the inside and a small city, but there was no water. It hit me then this stronghold belonged to vampires. My dear friend Jacob was not going to stop. It seem we were going into the city.
"Are you crazy? First, you steal, kidnapped, protect, whatever you want to call it from my house. Now, you want to just enter into a city most likely filled with vampires?" I yelled but before I could say anything more he covered my mouth.
"You will have to learn to keep your mouth shut. Ok, I need you to stay alive."
His words burned into me. I had no desire to look into his eyes because I feared the worse. Jacob was a vampire and I was human. Since I was a little, it was drilled into my head. Once you met a vampire either he dies or you. I knew I could never over power him and I feared the worse, my own death.
We had entered the vampire city and ride off to the side where there was a barn. He jumped off the horse and soon I followed. He grabbed a hold of my arm and pulled me into a hallway, which was not very well lit. I could see shadows but I couldn't not out any faces. I just wanted to cry, but before I could even sniffle I was tossed into a room. The room just like the hallway was lacking of light. What I could make out was that it was someone bedroom most likely Jacob's. It was larger than my own room but lack some of the finer details. I remained on the floor because I was scared if I moved I would be beaten. The door rushed open with a bang and standing there was Jacob (Turel).
He said nothing as he entered the room and slammed the door behind him. He passed me on the floor and went to lie on the bed. He raised his hand and the lights became brighter and I could see more clearly. The room was decorated with green banners with some kind of symbol. I knew it was neither Lord Raziel's symbol nor Kain's. I had been schooled in vampires a little, however my parents tried to keep me as innocent as possible. I stood up finally after being on the ground for some time. I noticed that I was still dressed in my lightweight tank top and shorts that I used for sleeping in. I looked over at the bed; Jacob was lying there quietly. I slowly walked closer to him. He had his arm over his head but I could see his white well-built chest. His black hair had changed a little since the first time I saw him. I believe he used some kind of cloaking spell and when he returned to find me forgot to use it. I let out a laugh after all the work; we had lost the items that he needed for a spell.
"What is so damn funny?" He questioned me causing me to freeze.
I stared blankly at him wondering if I should answer or not.
"Well?"
"We lost the items you came to get from me in the first place," I replied hoping that it wouldn't cause a harsh reaction out of him.
"Well, I guess I have to ask my brother for them."
I stood there waiting for something to happen. Was he going to kill me or just make me some kind of slave? I was guessing now since I know where he lived, he was not going to let me go. He shifted his weight and pulled himself up to stare at me.
"Are you going to stand around? You can lay down if you wish since I am guessing you are still tired," He stared at me blankly waiting for my next move.
"What going to happen to me, Jacob?"
"I have no clue. Oh, by the way my name is not Jacob. It is Turel, Lord Turel, Kain's second born son."
I sat down on the bed and covered my face. All I wanted to do was cry, but for some reason I couldn't allow myself too. I was alone in a city filled with vampire not only that but I had been "kidnapped" by a Lord. Turel had grabbed me by my shoulders and pushed me down so that I was lying next to him. He covered me in a blanket without saying another word. Then out of nowhere he curls up next to me and pulls me into his arms. I was taken back but what scared me the most was he rested his head right next to my neck. All the beauty I had once seen in him was gone. I wanted to go home. I wanted to live.
Yeah, I know not the best chapter, but it works.
