Hey everyone and thank you for the reviews! Sorry about the fact that it has taken me a little longer then usual, but I have been busy... (Still keeping my promise of once every week though. ;-) )

Nevertheless now it is published and I hope you like it as much as I do. If you want quicker updates I would recommend giving me more reviews and input about what you like! :)

Oh, and my friend did unfortunately not have the time to go through the spelling a final time. So if there is errors I missed, please be understanding.

Here is Chapter 14, enjoy!

Alicia

Something was calling for me, a delicious scent that filled me up with wanton. I felt warm and comfortable and without opening my eyes I tried to burry my head in that wonderful smell.

The softness of skin was against both my body and my face. I nuzzled into it, nibbling my way, trying to get to the source that now made my mouth water.

I moaned in frustration, when I did not achieve my goal. Then a hand started to stroke my head and a chuckle vibrated all around me. It made me open my eyes and wake up from my dreamlike state.

"Hungry are we?" his voice was soft but still mocking.

I pulled away as I realized my mistake, but felt the force of his hand on my back pressing me back against him.

"Don´t be like that princess. The way I saw it you were quite enjoying your self just a moment ago." He was smirking at me.

"You are a beast!" I screamed at him.

"And you are in his bed," he whispered mockingly into my ear.

I hit his chest in a attempt to get away from him. "Let me go!"

He laughed at my attempt and then pushed me off of him, as he rise from the bed.

I glared at him and gathered the cover over my naked body. The disgust poured over me, like a bucket of ice-cold water.

Unfortunately I could not completely ignore the feeling of want and desire inside of me. My eyes swept over his half naked body, as he put on a loose undershirt. He found my eyes watching him and the smiled that were playing on his lips grew. I gasped, blushed and quickly turned my eyes down towards the floor.

"It pleases me to see that my venom finally is taking a real effect in your body Alicia. It has taken longer then I expected." He was walking around gathering his vest and shoes.

I knew that his words were true and I was ashamed of how it was affecting me. Still I could not stop to admire the man who held so much power over me. His broad shoulders toned stomach, the muscular arms the spellbinding eyes… 'Stop it!' I mentally berated myself.

I gathered the cover around my body and began to stand up. I needed a bath and then clothes.

"Stay in bed pet," he said harshly and I sat back down immediately observing him yet again. His attention was now towards me. "I will send a servant to dress you." He turned his back and left.

Master Cain

The castle was surprisingly lively, because of the woman slaves I had decided to take for sources to my men rather then corpses for the city.

Screams could be heard and I smiled at the faint memory of Alicia's screams last night. Her screams and fear had made my power stronger.

'She was soon truly mine, the princess of the sacred kingdom, my slave. A true prize.'

I walked to Matheius chamber. I heard moans and muffled screams from inside and even though I could give them some privacy… that had never been my style.

I open the door without knocking and walked in, a terrified woman laid on her stomach beneath my brother, screaming into his hand. Her eyes where wide and it looked as if she was pleaded me to help her. This made me smirk.

"What business do you bring dear brother," Matheius asked in a lazy tone. "As you see, I am a bit preoccupied." He looked up and smirked at me.

"I can tell," I answered him amused. "But I need you to get a servant to Alicia to dress her, and then I need you to fetch Yura for me."

Matheius grunted, "Yura left, Cain." There was a pause. "He was sick of waiting for Alicia's blood. As well as I know he is joining our brother Darak as we speak."

I narrowed my eyes at him. 'Damn it, I would have needed him.'

"I am too, getting tired of waiting. Let me bite her brother," he spoke pleadingly.

I walked closer to him and kneeled by his little toy. Tears where slipping from her eyes.

"Don't you have enough toys, I heard you claimed three," I said icily as I eyed the blond girl pinned beneath him.

He huffed. "This one is nothing."

I bowed my head down as the subject had tired me. 'Would I ever hear the end of this?'

"I need you to get going Matheius," I ordered and stood up quickly.

…

Alicia

I was still sitting in the bed with the cover tightly wrapped around my body. I desperately needed a shower or a bath. The filth from the travel still covered me. My hair was tangled and tear marks was still evident from the punishment I had been given.

A soft knock came from the door and I turned my attention toward the large doors. I saw a small girl peeking her head inside. She was carrying something that looked very delicate.

"Miss, this is for you." She put down a dark blue dress in front of me. It was a longer model, but still very simple and would no doubt be a perfect fit.

I eyed the fabric and reached out towards it, wanting to feel the soft material beneath my fingers.

"You need a bath! " a deep and worryingly familiar voice came from the door and I practically flew into the air out of surprise and fear.

'Matheius' I had not noticed him standing there and he seemed pleasingly happy by this. He sauntered into the room observing my wide eye reaction.

I pressed my self up against the headboard as he walked over to the side of my bed.

"What do you want?" I asked in a sharp tone. I did not like him being here, especially not in the undressed state I was in.

He narrowed his eyes at me and a moment later he smacked me so hard, that I fell down sprawled out on the bed. I covered my burning cheek with a hand as I glanced back at him. Luckily I still had the cover over me.

"That is no way to speak to a vampire of high rank." He reached down for my wrist and pulled me up flat against him. He towered over me and I tried to hug the fabric around my body to the best of my abilities.

"I might have to punish you for that," He whispered seductively into my ear and one of his hands stroked my back and exposed more of my naked flesh. I shivered at the contact and it created an uneasy feeling in my gut. 'Would he really go against Cain's orders?!'

Unexpectedly he swung me up over his other arm and carried me toward the bathroom. I squirmed but could not get out, especially not if I wanted to hid my body from his hungry eyes.

The steam from the bath was already slipping out into the bedroom. He stopped in front of the bath and put me down. My back was towards his front and I was facing the steaming water and the mirror behind it.

Without warning he pulled the covers away from me and then put a firm arm around my waist. I let out a scream and tried to cover myself up. I saw him smiling in the mirror and I lowered my eyes towards the ground.

Once I had calmed down a little he started stroking my stomach and with his other hand he captured the arm that I was trying to cover my breasts with. He held my hand up infront of my head and stroked the faint veins that hid beneath the skin of my wrist.

His sharp nail carved into my skin and a trickle of blood escaped me. I tried my hardest not to make a sound. I knew that would only enhance his rush.

My wrist was pulled up against his moth and I felt a gruff tongue licking the blood away greedily. He put more pressure on the cut to force more blood out of me and then he sucked harshly.

A soft moan escaped him and I closed my eyes tight to try to escape what was happening.

"Please Matheius, my master will not be pleased," I spoke trying to sound as neutral as possible.

He stopped and hesitatingly let go of my wrist. The weight in my words must have sunk in his consciousness.

"You will tell no one," he threatened me icily.

The next moment, he was gone.

…

Master Cain

I was sitting in my office thinking through my next move. I had received another letter from my brother and I did not enjoy the threat he had made me:

Cain,

It is enough! For all that you have done towards that girl you will suffer greatly.

Every action, every thought and every crime angers him beyond your imagination.

If you do not redeem yourself soon, I fear that your death will only be your own unfulfilled dream.

Now regain you focus and be reasonable. Hand her over, she was never yours to have.

Daras

My blood is still boiling as it has since the letter arrived.

'How dare he recite on a prophecy! He does not even know if she is the one. I claimed her, she is mine and she always will be.'

But no matter what I need to come up with a strategy in order to win over my deluded brother. I imagine that I will be forced to seek some allies.

…

Alicia

The bath had done me well and I had calmed down from the close call I had with Matheius, these vampires scared me mostly because they where so unpredictable. I never knew what to expect and from whom.

Now I was walking toward my master's office, since he called for me. I was dressed in the stunning dress and it felt luxurious against my skin. I could still hear the rain and wind outside that was loud against the windows of the long corridor.

Then suddenly I stopped dead in my tracks as I felt a force of power surrounding me, it was not visual, but nonetheless it demanded my attention. "Alicia…" it was barely a whisper that floated in the air around me. I quickly turned around to look and sharpened my hearing to clarify where that voice came from.

"I will come for you…" the deep voice of a man continued. 'It is the same voice as before!' My eyes widen in realization. 'What is this, or who is this?' I must be going crazy.

I heard a faint chuckle of that same voice and a jolt of ice traveled down my back. I felt a small and cold gush of a breath against my neck. I felt two muscular arms embracing my waist, but I was alone as far as I could tell. No one was even close to me, no one that was visual…

"Soon princess it will all be clear to you, " the voice spoke right into my ear.

A few seconds past and the presence of whomever that voice belonged to disappeared and left me with a tingling sensation in my body.

I took in a shaky breath and turned around to make sure no one was there. The feeling that presence had given me was hard to shake. 'He is coming for me, who? What does this being want with me?' What frighten me the most was that how small I felt. I was like a little doll that was being passed around. Something they played with, but this was a new player and I was not sure I wanted to be introduced to his set of games.

Now the story is really evolving, but I think you will like where I am going with this. Or what do you think? Tell me what your favorite part of this chapter was? What is your favorite part of the story so far?

Reviews are always welcome and appreciated!
