Mortal Angel
Chapter 3 Start of something newThat incident had occurred just over two weeks ago but Gabriella could not forget Fabio. He had been an Italian immigrant and had often told Gabriella stories of growing up in Italy.
"We will go back to Italy one day" Fabio would tell Gabriella, "we will live in a small house with a dog and lots of children, and you and I will be husband and wife forever."
"Mmm, that sounds great. I always want to be with you." Gabriella would sigh running her hand through his short black hair and looking up into his warm, dark brown eyes and laying her head against his muscular chest while he held her protectively.
Gabriella let out a ragged breath. She had promised Fabio to be with him for all eternity but when they had become husband and wife under the light of the full moon and Gabriella saw the lycan kill Fabio, she had felt her vow shatter. She frowned and blinked back tears.
'Why ' she agonized 'why were we so foolish? It was a full moon we should have been standing guard over the camp with the others'.
Gabriella whimpered, all the members of the Fabio's troop were dead, killed by lycans just like Fabio. She had made a vow of everlasting love to Fabio but now he was dead. Was this a sign that Gabriella should find a new love? She had to be honest with herself she was in love with another man even though he wasn't mortal. Her mind flashed back to when she had been rescued by the vampires, rescued by Kraven.
A glove hand rested on her shoulder as Gabriella sobbed on the ground near Fabio's body.
" There, there child its ok your safe now."
Gabriella looked up at her rescuer. He was a regal man wearing magnificent armor. He removed his helmet and looked at her, compassion showing in his blue eyes. Gabriella knew enough about vampires from Fabio and from the young lycans that were caught and tortured for information. She looked at the stranger's mouth and then quickly looked back into his eyes. She could practically feel the immortal strength radiating from him.
" Your a vampire" she whimpered, "Are you going to kill me?"
The stranger gaped at her in surprise and Gabriella saw the points of his fangs gleaming in the moonlight. He opened his mouth to reply when gargantuan roars filled the air. Gabriella yelped in fear and leapt into the arms of the strange vampire. Lycans came streaming out of the trees and battle cries came from the throats of the vampires behind the stranger. The last thing Gabriella saw before she fainted were huge fangs aiming for her skull.
She awoke and let out a whimper. She gasped in fear as her eyes became accustomed to the dark. She glanced around her and saw she was lying on a mattress. A small shuffling noise reached her ears and she saw dark figures lurking in the room, Gabriella gasped and sat straight up in fear.
" Don't fear my child we will not kill you."
The owner of the voice knelt down beside Gabriella.
" I am Lord Viktor " he said, "You have nothing to fear here child. You are under our protection and in return we only ask for your services."
" W-wha-what services?" Gabriella stammered.
" You will be our new human servant and join our other servants until we can find another use for you." Viktor said gently as Gabriella's world once again dissolved into blackness.
She shook her head trying to forget that memory. She worked as a loyal servant, pouring the vampires flagons of blood and wine and serving them their meals. Most vampires preferred to eat mortal food as well as live on blood. There was too much time ahead of the vampires to only live on blood. Gabriella wiped the long benches with an old rag, cleaning up after the vampires feast. Her mind started to race again and before long she was thinking about her new object of infatuation: Kraven.
He had been among the Death Dealers who killed the lycans the night Gabriella was rescued. He was very brave and extremely handsome in Gabriella's opinion. Gabriella often wondered whether Kraven was just as infatuated with her, she had often caught him watching her, an interested expression on his handsome face.
She shook her head and resumed cleaning when a pair of arms wrapped themselves around her waist. Gabriella gasped and spun around and came face-to-face with Kraven. He stared into her large emerald eyes. He brushed away the tight, black ringlets of hair from her face and smiled
" I have been waiting for this moment since you arrived" he purred " There's always been other servants around but now I have you alone and to myself."
He leaned in to kiss her but Gabriella hesitated, did she really want this? Kraven pulled his head back and frowned but Gabriella made up her mind in that moment. She put her hand on the on the back of his head and brought his mouth down to meet hers. Kraven and Gabriella kissed and passion flared inside them. Their kisses become more passionate and Kraven lifted Gabriella up and she wrapped her legs around his hips. His lips traveled down her face to her neck and then to her breasts. Gabriella came to her senses and panting, she pushed Kraven away
" Not here" she whispered, "we will get caught."
Kraven looked at her then, silently took her hand and led her away. They walked down to a chamber where Kraven slept and he opened the door. They didn't even make it inside before the passion reared its head again. Kraven kissed Gabriella fiercely and they eagerly removed each other's clothing before they collapsed on the small mattress upon which Kraven slept and as they made love the passion between them roared with gargantuan strength.
