Prologue
Disclaimer: I don't own D, or anything related. I'm just burrowing the character. However, Tesha, Sera, and any other original characters belong to me.
She ran a hand through her long, brunette hair as she made her way down the halls. The Countess had requested her pressence over thirty minutes ago. She would be in trouble for ignoring her, but the truth was, she didn't care. It wasn't as if the Countess could do anything to her. She was the strongest, and the most familiar with weaponry she had. Actually, she had wished for death many times, but the Countess was cruel and always refused to release her from her fate.
As the brunette neared the door, a man stepped in front of her. His hair was short, except for two strands that dropped past his neck. His grey eyes locked on hers. "Countess Tesha has been waiting, you realize. She is very angry." His words were met with silence as the beautiful young girl pushed past him and into the Countess' bedroom.
"You disappoint me sometimes..."
"I apologize for the delay," She replied. Tesha only shook her head in a scolding way.
"You are far too rebellious... You know when your mother gave you to me, she told me to keep you in line... Make sure you grew to be a fine, loyal servant. You have let her down."
"My mother didn't care what happened to me. If she really had any feelings for me, she wouldn't have given me to you. Why should I care if I disappoint her?"
"Now, enough of this, Countess, tell me what you wish for me to do." The Vampiress smirked slightly and laid on her bed.
"Have you heard of the Vampire Hunter who killed Count Magnus Lee?"
"Yes, he goes by the name of D, correct?"
"Yes. The Hunter is dangerous. He sounds so tempting... You must find him for me. Tell him he can either come to me, and become my mate... Or you will kill him." Vampiress smirked slightly at her servant's shocked expression. The brunette quickly pulled the piece of cloth she always wore on her face down, making her full face visible.
"You can't be serious. You wish to mate with someone is bent on destroying you? What makes you think that this Hunter will join with you willingly?"
"He has to, or he dies."
The brunette closed her eyes for a second and bowed her head toward the ground. "I won't go... If you want this man to be your mate, then go find him yourself."
"What is wrong, Servant? Why the reluctance to find him? You don't want this man to become mine, why?"
"You will destroy him... As you do all the others. I refuse to play a part in that."
"I will give you anything you wish, Servant. I will give you your freedom if you so desire." The brunette looked up, her sad brown eyes falling on the other female who lay across the bed.
"My freedom?"
"Yes. Go and live with the humans... Go live with their filth. You probably belong there anyway."
"But, if you fail, you realize, you will not receive your freedom." The brunette sighed and looked toward the ground and sighed. Was she willing to take anothers' happiness in exchange for her own? She shook her head slightly, and replaced the cloth.
"Very well, I will find your mate and bring him back here for you, or kill him if he doesn't willingly follow."
"Good, Servant. That is all I want. He should arrive near town soon." The Vampiress smirked slightly and leaned forward, her black eyes locking on the face of her servants.
"You say you are better than us, but yet, you would so willingly sacrifice the freedom of a so-called innocent man for your own. Tell me, how are you better?"
"Leave me alone, Tesha! I realize I should burn in Hell for what I am about to do, but I haven't a choice. My pain is too great to bare here."
With that, the servant quickly ran out of the Countess' bedroom and down the halls toward the exit. She would get this over with as fast as possible.
