Chapter 3

SPOV

"Let go of me Preston" I screamed out in anger, what he hell did he think he was doing.

"No" he simply said and continued to drag me towards what looked to be a castle. Where the hell did the castle come from?

"Where are we?" I asked a little scared. Last time I looked we were in Fangtasia. What the hell was going on.

"We are in Faery on the way to Prince Niall's castle. You are his great grand-daughter and he is paying top dollar for your seduction and subsequent impregnation" Preston said.

"You lying sack of monkey doo doo. I had feelings for you, I let you touch me and make love to me" I raged at my captor.

"Blah blah who gives a shit. I was using you. For a princess you sure can be dense, it must be the human in you. I fucked you for the money and nothing more. Your just a job to me you brainless whore" he said cruelly and then laughed. What a Pig.

"When I get out of this I'm going to shove an iron stake up your ass and watch you fall to pieces" I laughed back bitterly. Preston backhanded me and continued on the path. My cheek stung and for the time being I kept quiet, there wasn't much more I could do anyway.

Soon we were inside the castle. It looked dark and eerie. I was expecting to see trolls and ugly witches to be roaming about. I thought fairies were beings of light and love? All I saw was darkness, vast darkness.

He pulled me in front of a gold throne and shoved me hard and I landed roughly on my knees. Sitting in the throne was a fairy. He looked like the fairy from Lord of the Rings. The one with the long silver hair, Arwin's father. HE was beautiful at first glance but I had glimpsed these fairies in their true forms and the beauty they projected was just a glamour. I could feel power rolling off this creature in front of me and I trembled with fear.

"Ah, granddaughter so we finally meet. You are very pretty and I you seem strong. I can feel the spark inside you. To bad your not full fae but half will do. Come closer" he beckoned me with a nod of his head. I shrank back, shaking my head. He got up out of his throne and came to me. For his trouble he slapped me across the face. I spit blood out on to the floor.

"You will learn your place my child" he sneered. Then he reached out and put his hand on my belly. I felt the hair stick up at the nape of my neck and I watched in horror as an evil smile grew on his face.

"Oh yes, perfect. Show her to her room" Niall said to Preston and we were dismissed.

Preston grabbed my arm roughly and dragged me along again down a few corridors and up a flight of stairs. We came to stop before a huge steel door. Preston pulled out a key and unlocked the door. He gestured for me to go in but I shook my head. He grabbed the back of my neck and shoved me in.

"Get use to these walls, they will be your home for along time to come" he sneered and then left.

I heard the door lock and I ran over to it hitting the smooth surface to no avail. Shit I was stuck here. I slid down the cool surface and leaned against the door and had a good cry. I was pregnant and alone. I was pregnant with that fuckers child and locked in a room. Fuck. After I cried all the tears I had in me, I got up and started to explore my dungeon.

I found that I had an ensuite bathroom complete with a huge tub and shower stall. There were bath oils and other essentials in the cupboards and on the counter. I opened the closet and found clothes hanging on plastic hangers. On closer inspection I noticed some would fit me now and others were maternity clothes for later. They all looked slightly used and it made me wonder how many other woman were held in this room for this purpose. I wanted to vomit. I swallowed back the bile and continued my exploration.

There was a small balcony out one of the doorways but escape wouldn't be an option. I was about fifty feet above the ground and there was murky water surrounding the castle(a fucking mote, how hilarious). After my adventure I felt even more desolate and angry. I decided to lay on the bed and try to sleep.

"Morning Sunshine time to get up" came Claudine's chipper voice. I opened my eyes to be greeted by a bottle being waved in front of my face. I reached out and took it as I sat up on the pillows. It was a pretty bottle, I unscrewed the cap.

"What is it?" I asked as I sniffed it, it smelled like sweet tea.

"It's an elixir. It is healthy for the baby and for you. Drink it" she commanded. I thought to argue but what was the point? I was trapped here and nothing can change that. I downed the drink and licked my lips after, it was good.

"Good. Your breakfast is on the table over there" she said pointing to a covered plate and left. I heard the lock snick into place once again.

I got up and went for a shower. After I dried off and dressed I went over to check out the food. I lifted the lid off the plate and was greeted with bacon, grits, eggs and toast. The food was still warm and I dug in with gusto. I washed it all down with a cup of tea and let out a loud burp. Humph how lady like, I giggled. I decided to try to read so I went over to the shelf and grabbed a mystery. Soon I was engrossed in the story and lost track of time.

The first few weeks went by the same. Claudine would give me my drink and then I would have breakfast. I would read a little and then have lunch. I would nap and then dinner. I would read some more until bed. Rinse and repeat. Rinse and repeat.

"Morning Sunshine. Here's your drink, shower, dress and meet us downstairs for breakfast" Claudine said as she held out the pretty bottle. I nodded my ascent and then downed the drink and handed back the bottle. I showered and got dressed and headed downstairs. Claudine met me at the bottom of the stairs and I followed her to the dining room.

"Sookie you look absolutely ravishing" Niall said with a smile.

"Thank you grandfather" I replied with a nod.

"Sit, eat for when you are done, your training begins" he said.

"What training grandfather?" I asked.

"Princess training. First you learn to defend yourself in battle and then you learn your gifts" he said.

"I' am pregnant is that a wise thing to do?" I asked Niall worried about the baby. I was starting to show and I as excited for the upcoming birth.

"It is fine, now do as you are told child" Niall ordered, fire in his eyes.

"Yes, grandfather" I replied, my head bowed in respect.

The rest of breakfast was quiet and soon it was time to start my training. Niall took me to the weapons room and told me to pick a weapon. I walked round the room peering at all the swords and bows until I came across one in particular. Niall came to stand beside me inspecting the weapon I was looking at.

"That is a small broadsword made to be wielded by a woman" Niall explained.

This weapon was beautiful. It had an intricate pattern on the blade that extended to the hilt. The hilt had a teardrop ruby embedded inside and as I stared at it, it reminded me of something but I couldn't place it. The weapon spoke to me, urging me to pick it up.

I grabbed the hilt and pulled it from it's perch, a spark flashed and a tingling sensation ran through my body. It was lightweight and felt like an extension of my arm and I began to swing it experimentally.

"Look at your form, it's like that sword was meant for you. Perfect" Niall said. He grabbed a sword and gestured to me. I moved forward and took a few swings. Niall nodded and showed me a few moves. It was exhilarating to say the least.

It took me a month but by the end of the month I was a practiced swordswoman. I could even best Niall one out of every three spars.

In a few days I would begin my abilities training. I was nearing my fifth month of pregnancy and yet my tummy was not that big. I had regular check ups and the doctor assured me that the baby was fine. The night before my training began I had a strange dream.

DREAM

Where am I? I've never seen this place before, yet it feels safe and like home. I was standing in front of an old farmhouse and I wanted to go inside.

"Sookie?" came a deep voice that sent a shiver through me and right to my core.

I turn around to come face to face with a very tall, beautiful blonde man with bright blue eyes that were like deep pools of the soul. I could feel the heat in those eyes. Heat that was directed at me. Who was this man before me?

"Do I know you?" I ask confused. My voice sounded husky.

"Of course you do. It's been awhile, where are you I can't locate you. I want to bring you home" he says his voice sounding sad.

"I' am home" I reply.

"No your not, you were ... You smell so good Sookie. I want to fuck you, bite you and rub myself all over you" he says with a leer.

I notice his eyes are glazed over and he looks like he's high all of a sudden. When he smiles at me I notice the long, sharp fangs protruding from his gums. A vampire, he's a fucking vampire.

"Get away from me you vampire, leave me be" I shout out scared for me and my baby but he's already fading.

"Sookie, please it's me, you know me" he yells but then he's gone.

END DREAM

I wake up in a cold sweat, shaking. Why would I dream of a vampire? It's like I know him but that doesn't make a lick of sense. Everyone knows that fairies hate vampires.

I shrug of the dream and get out of bed. I stretch and then go into my bathroom to get a drink of water. I walk back in my room and get into bed. The dream is already fading and besides I need my rest for tomorrow.
