Chapter 11
Drevmar could almost taste the sharp scent he recoiled and placed it in his left talon as he ran out of Syannes room he kept calling her name, receiving a few concerned and confused looks from his fellow vampire and some human slaves that dwelled the halls, but to no avail. Quicking his pace he ran to the chambers where he had been giving strict instructions not to approach, just as he made his way he bumped into Dumah, Rahab and Turel. "Lord Dumah I have dire news! Syanne…she…Kimsan, she has." Drevmar said breathlessly while Dumah took a massive step forward towering the panicking vampire. "Speak! What of Syanne?" he boomed. Drevmar took a massive gulp and tried to calm himself. " I left Syanne and Kimsan in her quarters to get some blood for us and when I returned they were both gone I called out to her but no reply and I found this on the floor", he handed the white cloth with the now drying substance quickly Turel grabbed it and rubbed his talons together, " a sedative, liquid placed over someone's mouth so they fall into a state of unconsciousness I am afraid what your fledgling is trying to tell you brother is that Syanne has been kidnapped.", Drevmar nodded in agreement. Dumah slammed his massive fist into the marble wall that surrounded them; Rahab placed his talons on his chin.
"Brother it seems that Zephon is not the only traitor here, Kimsan I'm sure has taken her and I doubt that she has been working alone besides the ambush on you. However the question is where has she taken her and who with? Ah, now it seems the only person who would know this is Zephon and the best person to interrogate him would be our lord Kain. Silence fell amongst the group, what in hell had gotten into Zephon as of late, why was he doing this? All to take over Dumah's territory or was it something else… or someone? As though he had been there the whole time Lord Kain approached from behind. "Then I shall be the one to do the interrogation of course." All of the lieutenants turned round quickly and kneeled into their respective stance.
The massive doors opened as zephon sat by the window smirking to himself, when he seen Kain enter he kneeled and sat back onto chair, "Zephon, where has Syanne been taken to, what exactly is your plan" Kain said with no formality. The spiked hair vampire looked up into the eyes of Kain and smiled.
I awoke in a darkened room; my clothing had been removed and replaced with a simple white night dress somewhat like a vest top and rather short skirt made to tightly and badly as though in a hurry, I placed a hand on my head with the strangest sensation overwhelming my body and nausea. I liked my lips and could taste something repulsive and whipped it off with the back of my hand. Looking around the room I noticed the walls where a cold stone unchizzled a large heavy looking oak doors and a massive carpets flung around the room to even the hard floor and a simple wardrobe unfittingly painted light blue with gold embroidered leaved and handles it looked strangely familiar, the fire place gave off a dim light and the room had a stench of dampness which placed a bit of worry into my head.
Suddenly remembering what happened, the man placing the cloth over my mouth and the smirk on Kimsans face before everything went black, as I stood up I fell to my knees from weakness I had to feed and I could feel my body begin to shake. I stood up and made my way to the large door and tried to open it, it didn't even budge. again I pushed and pulled but nothing, I sighed and placed my head again the door closing my eyes, I could feel the tears whaling up with a million thoughts running through my head, my thoughts where interrupted by the lock clicking and I moved back away from the door.
In came the one that placed the cloth over my mouth he stopped at the door and looked about the room and without notice slapped my across the face, I gave out a small cry and fell onto the bed. He took a step in and growled closing the door behind him. "So you are the one zephon has been telling me about. You don't seem much. I have seen better, however he is right there is somewhat of an irritable beauty about you.
He walked forward and leaned over me. "and you smell so pretty too…" then I felt his full weight onto of me placing his talon over my neck, quickly I held my palm up and with all my might thrust it forward right to his nose, he screamed and blood pulled from it and as he released his hand to clutch his wound I lifted my legs to his chest and kicked forward to make him go flying over the bed. I took my chance and ran out the room stupidly he left the door unlocked, lucky for me. Running down the hallways of stone it became more like a maze I became breathless with panic and walked backwards staring at the hall that had door after door. There was deathly silence and the odd creak from the wooden doors.
"She is in my territory" His simple reply came from cracked lips. "why?" came the quick question from Kain they're eyes never left one another's " she should be mine, I have done nothing but admire that woman from afar and now I took action, of course the territory is what I wanted, but in his territory was her." He said moving his eyes to the window again.
"She is not yours to have Zephon she belongs to Dumah and Dumahs alone. I have never seen you like this, you are a warrior a lieutenant of a dark god and here you are acting like a love sick child, you disappoint me." Kain said placing his hands behind his hands and walking around the room and never taking his hands off of Zephon. "so sire what is to be my punishment for my treason, death, eternal imprisonment?" the aerie smile on his face never left his sharp features, even Kain was sometimes frightened by the way his body language was unfitting to situations, he was sure it was the insanity that he had inherited from Kain when he resurrected zephon as one of his own, they all did, but zephon he was the only one who truly showed it. "Your punishment Zephon is torture until the brink of death. I will not execute you however I need you for a much bigger plan."
Kain could have slapped himself for almost slipping up and Zephons face quickly filled with confusion before he could reply Kain held up his hand and stated "do not question me you are not in the place." Zephon knew not to disobey, or he would be dead. "100 lashes, water poured onto the wounds and starvation I am sure I will come up with more to put you in your place, you will have no say in council matters and the other clans including Melchiah can over rule your decisions if they so please.", Kain walked over and looked down and Zephon. "Dumah will be sent to retrieve her so prepare to return to an almost dwindled clan."
Dumah and Turel made their way to the ward gate in his territory. They admired the spiral symbols that had decorated the room. There was a complete silence between them, but yet a comfortable one they tried to weigh out the situation. The fact Zephon had gone so far as to actual unfoil this plan he was a complete schemer but this was very un-like him it was usually used to gain information or gossip about his brothers or their offspring but never actually try to take over or kill one of his brothers. Of course he had caused a few fist fights and combat due to his over opinionated and loud mouth, but this was simply because he knew he was the second weakest and the only thing he could control was having information on people that no one else had, if he could not be victorious in action due to a fight, he would simply use blackmail.
They had both noticed something different about him but couldn't quit put their finger on it for some time. When they arrived Dumah took a deep breath and cracked his knuckles, Turel could tell his brother was ready to kill. "Are you ready Dumah?" Turel stated and with a simple nod the ward gate activated both stepping through. I kept running through the hallways this labyrinth in complete confusion and daze, my hunger was increasing almost unbearable.
Again I started to jog slightly down a hall that was lighter, it looked a lot like home which was somewhat comforting, a large set of double red doors where at the end and the red carpet was like a massive arrow directing my to safety she had a feeling in her chest that she was almost out of here. Approaching the door I could hear the murmuring of voices.
Placing my ear carefully to the door I managed to hear a rather intense conversation into the next room. "… unable to get one bloody clan down how you expect me to get into the other lieutenants heads and kill them all off! I spent years gaining the power of mind control over even the strongest vampire and this is what happened! No matter Zephon will most likely be executed and so I will take over one by one their minds, causing wars and they will eventually kill each other. The problem is getting to Kain now, he is not an easy task mind control is out of the question, by force is out of the question I have seen that beast wipe entire troops off by himself."
I covered my mouth as I recognised the voice it was Kimsan why was she doing this, of course I knew why she wanted to rule Nosgoth she had jokingly said time and time again how she would rule Nosgoth with more prosperity better than Kain, I never told anyone this for she would be killed at the hands of Kain for plotting even if it was in a joking manner, but now I knew this was no joke at all.
"And what of Zephons fondness of Syanne, why did you make him do this?" I leaned closer into the door to hear as I heard my name mentioned. "Ha! That plot was already in his head me giving him the impression he was possible to wipe out the army just ignited the idea he could win her over", the other deep voice said quietly "and what are you going to do with her?", Kimsan chuckled "she will make me money…" the rage inside me built up what the hell was my friends.. Was my friend playing at?
The ward gate opened and Dumah and Turel entered Zephons layer, "I bloody hate this place you walk into one room just to enter another and another." Turel chuckled at Dumahs comment for a man who was constantly in battle his sense of direction was awful. A long thin zephonim walked by and stared bewildered at his lords standing in front of him unannounced, before he even knew it his throat was gripped by Dumahs massive hand and looked at him with wide eyes and total fear. "Where is she?" Dumah roared. "Where is who master I don't know who you are talking about!" the fledgling crocked. With that he was flung up against a wall and slid down it totally surprised and dazed. "Syanne, Kimsan you idiot!" the younger tried to stand and held his head. "Kimsan, she is on the second floor meeting room she requested no one disturb her.", Turel walked forward and crossed his arms staring out the child. "Take us."
Listening more intently I could hear their voices fade and then complete silence. Suddenly I found myself falling forward and straight onto the floor face first, looking up I seen Kimsan and an older man standing next to her his black hair strung greasily from his hair, his skin had a grey tinge to it and his eyes where like a glazed over grey, he wore heavy robes like some sort of holy man and a large thick gold necklace hung at his chest, he pointed to me with his long thick brown fingernails and gasped taking a step backwards, " so this is Syanne, such a beauty, and managed to escape from Farmure, let me guess, he left the door open…silly man, well we have you here now."
Kimsan grabbed me by the hair and picked me up flinging me onto a near by chair, while the man in the robes approached my quickly grabbing my chin with his hand and putting his face close to mine, "how much would she be when you've finished taking over?", "for you Sir, free." I just looked bewildered and then caught onto what they were talking about and total rage built up, I stood up and with all my might kicked the man between his legs making him drop to his knees, with that chance I kicked him as hard as I could in the face making him fall to the floor completely.
Kimsan then gave out a battle cry running towards me, I took the chance to run towards her quickly dipping and aiming my shoulder into her stomach making her flip over and land on the floor with a thump I then turned round and knelt over. "How dare you traitor!" I grabbed her by her throat and full forced punched her in the face several times. I felt a pressure on the back of my head as the strange man had a clutch full of my hair and dragged me away from Kimsan I gave out a frustrated cry and with all my might shot my elbow onto his rib, when he fell back so did I, I heard his head crack of the concrete floor and then could see her pull something shiny from her boot, falling on top of my she held a knife to my face pushing the knife from my face I screamed "get off me!" As the frightened clan member guided the two lieutenants they heard a voice screaming.
It was unmistakably Syanne. "Run!" they ran with all their speed and within seconds appeared at the door to see Kimsan and Syanne struggling for grips of a knife, Dumah didn't hesitate to run up and tear the head from Kimsan in the blink of an eye. Turel could see Kimsans headless body flop onto Syanne covering her in spraying blood, he quickly ran over picking her up so she was on her feet. When the room stopped dead in silence at the shock of what had just happened Dumah noticed the puddle of blood surrounding his head. "Who is he?" They looked at Syanne who just stared at the decapitated body of her old friend Kimsan, looking at each other they silently nodded and guided her back to the glyph room. Turel could only say the first thing that came to his mind. "What was that all about, I never thought she would try to kill you I thought you two were close friends." Syannes held back her hair and held her tears. Dumah simply shook his head and placed his arm on her shoulder to help guide. "What did they do to you when they took you, and why are you wearing that dress, who was that man?", he noticed Syanne looking at both of them and began to explain as best as she could everything that had happened and what she over heard, she wished Kimsan hadn't have died simply to find out the real reason why, whilst licking some of the blood of her arm.
The three confused headed back towards the glyph gate as the young Zephonim stared in the gruesome room with complete horror and concern.Kain stared at Zephon and tried to suss out what he was saying he had been babbling complete nonsense and acting wildley, he was snapped out of his thoughts as Zephon fell forward out his chair screaming clutching his head, Kain stood there wide eyed not knowing what to do, walking over he picked him up shaking him violently "what is wrong with you child? Speak!" Zephon just continued to clutch his head screaming and squeezing his eyes shut buckling forward and then it stopped. Zephons unconscious body lay motionless.
Kain now confirmed within himself something wasn't right. Quickly entering the room was Dumah and Turel holding a limp Syanne, she was awake but looked in total shock, Raziel, Melchiah, Rahab and Drevmar hurriedly followed them in and stared in amazement at the state of Syanne and the unconscious body of zephon lying on the floor.
"Sire, Syanne has an explanation for everything." Syannes head lifted and looked to Dumah, he leaned forward and held her chin, Turel looked down to his arm as Syannes white gowns bloody dress had covered his arm, "tell him everything that you have told us." Kain stepped forward and simply said "Speak." I stepped forward taking a deep breath looking up to Kain and bowing in respect.
"My Lord Kain, Zephon is not the one that has betrayed you; it was one of your most trusted and best warriors, and good friend of mine, Kimsan." Kain sighed and began to encircle me. "Then why did Zephon take an alliance with him?" I shook my head and faced the floor. "He did not sire, she gained the ability of mind control." I could sense Kains rage, he was the only one who had that ability and from what she had heard he hadn't of used it in a long time. "Zephon is not to blame."
Kain turned to me looking me up and down and raised and eyebrow. "And the blood on you is that of Kimsan." I nodded again and bit my bottom lip. "Alright everyone rest tomorrow, Dumah get your finest to look over Zephon and the rest of you feed and rest a full inquisition will be going through with tomorrow I think we are dealing with an old enemy."
