Claimer: Definitely all mine. So, don't even think about taking it.
Chapter 3: Escape
Aurora looked around herself bored. The room was dark and gloomy; she decided that she didn't like it. She got up and tried to pull the shades away from the windows. It didn't even budge a little bit. She sighed and looked around again.
There was nothing remotely interesting in the room nor were there any escape routes. Not like it would matter, those stupid shadows would have warned Death before she could even leave the room.
She growled to herself and sat back down on the bed. She thought back to what Death had told her earlier…
"Damien is only using you, sweet cheeks." Death announced proudly as if that would get her to like him, even a little bit.
She glanced at him and actually smirked. "Really? For what, exactly? My kingdom?" She said sarcastically.
He smirked back and caressed her hair as if she were a child; "Tsk, Tsk, Tsk. Why, of course dear. What else would he want? I already know his plans." He chuckled and smirked down at her.
She frowned. "What could those plans possibly be? Hmm?" Death just laughed and shook his head.
"Wouldn't you like to know, princess?" With that he disappeared.
Aurora thought to herself; 'What are Damien's plans anyway?'
Before she could do anything a hand gripped her mouth and they both vanished into the night.
Death whistled to himself, cheerfully. He had thwarted Damien's plans once again. Hopefully it would stay that way too.
"Death." Death whirled around at the sound of his name and came face to face with Dracula.
"Dracula." He bowed low.
"Death, where is she? Where is Aurora, the Ice Princess?" Death blinked and smiled offering a glass of brandy.
"Aurora? Isn't that the snotty princess of the East?"
Dracula glared at him taking the glass. "Death…do not play games with me. Where is she?"
Death shrugged and smirked. "She's somewhere…oohh wait, isn't she with Damien?"
Dracula stood up and had Death in a choking grasp before Death realized what was going on.
"Where is she?" He seethed.
Death started sweating and transported them both into her room. Dracula released Death and looked around.
"She's not here."
Damien was pacing back and forth in his office, glancing every now and then at his desk. He ran his fingers through his hair in frustration and growled.
"Without the princess, I can't go through with my plans! Stupid brat!" He hissed furiously.
On the other side of his door was Kya; 'Plans? What plans?'
Damien opened the door and glanced at Kya. "Kya? What are you doing? Did you need me?"
Kya looked at him open mouthed and started stammering.
"Uhh…yes! Um. Yeah. The…kitchen needs more food! Okay…well…bye!" She hurriedly ran off around the corner.
He blinked and looked at her retreating form. "More food? I thought we just stacked up…Hmm." He looked thoughtful before going back into his office.
"Mmffed!" Aurora struggled against her captor's hand. 'What is it with me getting kidnapped? Honestly.' She thought to herself.
"Hold still! It's me!" Aurora froze at the voice and tried to look at his face.
"If you'll wait a little bit, I can get you to safety, so quit moving. Okay?" Aurora nodded and let herself be dragged by the new stranger.
Before her very eyes they appeared in a log cabinet. He released his hold on her and looked around himself.
"You should be safe here for the time being." Aurora looked around herself and sighed in relief. This was her first time ever being out of a castle and into a cabinet. She liked it, though not as much as a castle.
She turned around and stared at her captor. "It's you! What is your name?"
He smiled and caressed her cheek lovingly; "Driscoll."
Aurora looked startled and looked at him with wide eyes; "Your name means…Sorrowful?"
He smiled, a little sadly; "Yes. Does it bother you?"
She laughed. "No, it doesn't. It's just funny my name means Dawn. Driscoll and Aurora. Sorrowful Dawn." He smirked and he too began to laugh.
"You are right, my love. It is great to see you again."
She grew sober and looked at him confused. "Again? We've only seen each other twice." She edged away from him a little bit.
"We are soul mates from the past. You don't…remember?" He looked taken aback.
Aurora recoiled; surprised. "S-soul mates?" She fainted.
Death was shocked. 'She escaped?' He walked into the room past Dracula and thoroughly looked through the room.
"Where did she go?" He said coldly while snapping his fingers in earnest. A shadow crept from the wall to the floor in front of Death. It hissed silently and slithered back to its original spot.
"I don't believe it." He threw the bed across the room and releasing fumes of black vapor.
"Well?" Dracula snapped; impatient.
"An unknown type of vampire came in here while we were talking and took her somewhere! Don't even bother asking me where. This guy is strong—strong enough in fact to hide his identity and his trial—what is he?"
Dracula frowned. "No joke, huh? I've never heard of a vampire like that. That's odd, I know of every supernatural being. As the King of the Dark Realm I have to find out what he is." With that said he disappeared.
"Oh and Death, for kidnapping the princess before I could punish Damien, you'll be punished instead." Dracula's disembodied voice declared. Before the words sank in Death was transported to another room.
Kya hurriedly ran outside of the castle, draped in a black cloak. The half moon grinned down at her from its perch.
She growled. "What are you looking at?" She snapped at the moon. Wrapping the cloak around her tightly she sprinted into the forest where she was to meet Ayden.
She panted a little as came to a meadow outside of the forest with a river flowing beside her.
She frowned angrily. "Ayden! Where the hell are you?" She said through gritted teeth.
"Right behind you, my love." Kya whirled around and was embraced by Ayden. He rubbed his nose in her hair and murmured "I missed you."
Kya sighed softly and kissed him full on the lips. "And I missed you."
"So, what of Damien's plans?"
