Chapter Four;
When I said I didn't cook very often, I meant that I don't cook very good. And Connie figured that quickly. Soon after our family history lesson she had me start chopping some unions.
Not a very good idea.
She asked me to dice the unions, and then fry them with some mushrooms, to go with the stake that the old woman who started to rant as soon as Trixy and I walked into the kitchen, her name was Jonsie, as Connie had called her and I soon figured out that she was a complainer. She complained about everything, even the smallest things like, dirt on the tiled floor. ' The dirt is making my shoes squeak.' she would say, or something along those lines
I soon grew to hate her complaining. But when Connie left the room to go get something somewhere else, she got worst.
For that whole time I was in the kitchen I was planning. I needed to get out. To trace the way out and tell others of the Headquarters and where it was located. But most importantly I need to tell my mom that Connie wasn't dead. That would get me in their good graces. Hopefully.
If I was never taken, I would have grounded to my house and from the field for a whole month. I would have had to do nothing at all except sit in front of the tv and play on the Wii. Fun fun.
I tried to think of some way to get out but seemings that i only saw only a little bit of the 'Cave House' i wasn't quit sure where the exit was. But I needed to find it. My plan for getting away was find the exit, get out of here with out being seen and then run like hell. Good plan. A grate plan....no it was a horrible plan and no way was i going to get far.
I would get caught, i just knew it. But that didn't mean I was giving up.
The Blood Drinkers' King didn't kill me. That had to mean something, right? The only question I had was didn't he kill me? Why didn't he sink his fangs in my neck and drain me dry? But most all i wanted to know what he had in store for me now. Was he going to kill me the next time he saw me, was he going to let the other Drinkers have their way with me? those thoughts kept going over and over in my head. i could find no peace not knowing what my life was going to be like with me now at the mercy of the Blood Drinkers until i found away out and got home.
And the Full Moon was only a few days away.
I needed the Moon like humans needed Sun. I wanted it. I wanted to see it again, to chase it again, but most of all i just wanted to gaze at the Moon on the night of its Full Glory. To me and my kind the Moon was our God. Our belief. All of the Wyhers' and other species were the Night Children. We walked and lived in the Night. The Shadow Walkers, as we like to be called, seemings that we never went into the sun, we walked in the shadows and lived when the shadow roamed the Earth freely, that's what the Humans called Nighttime.. The Humans rom during the day, in the Sun, in the Light, and the Shadow Walkers rom in the night, because we don't need the sun to survive like humans, In the Night, in the Dark, was where we fought our War of Freedom. Where we were free to do as we please. And where watch the Humans destroy Our World. All of it.
We can live in the Light, if we so choose, but in the Light we never got to see the Moon that was most important. We mostly don't live in the Sunlight, not just because of the Moon, another reason why we don't live in the Sunlight is because of the Humans. Humans are greedy. The only thing the Humans want is power and money, with the power and money is Ultimated Power. they have to have everything. They have to be everything, not differences, not stronger Beings, no, it can only be them.
We all learned that in earlier history. And we like how it is now. Peaceful.
"Yo! Be ready to serve in ten." a shout said from behind me, whipping me out of my thoughts. Whirling around I looked to see who it was, but they were already gone.
Turning back around to the chore that Connie had me doing, i looked around me. everything was in fast forward mode. They were placing the finale touches on everything, and placing the food on serving trays to serve the Bloodsuckers. Then it hit me. Completely out of the blue but not unexpected. When I was still in training and learning the Laws if my Race and also all of the other Races. Which theres are alot.
One every important Law that the Blood Drinkers have is, if they were to take a Wyher and they are healthy enough, they could be taken and used as Slaves for the Blood Drinkers or just one Drinker, the one that caught that Wyher. Meaning, I was now a Slave for the Drinkers. And they would try to kill me if i tried to get away.
Grate, just fantasticly grate. i was now, suck here for the remaiding days of my life. Or until they decieded to to let me go.
Doing the finale touches on my food, I placed it on a plater and waited. For what? Dunno, but i waited.
"Alright, ladies, move!" the same voice said after awhile from behind me. Guess it was time to sevre. Everyone tok the plater of food that they made and walked out of the kichten.
Taking a deep breath i started to do the same. But was cut off when i got to the door that everone else was going out of, i was cut off.
"Where do you think your going?" Trixy said from behind me.
Spinning aroung i answered, "Where dose it look like I'm going?" I held up the food plater so she could see it.
"Oh, no your not. you have to stay in here and eat. i'll be back in a moment." she said, taking the food plater from me.

"...And these are your pajamas. Hope you like them."
It was three hours later and i was back in the room at i woke up in. The room, I found out was Trixys' and we were now sharing it. There were two beds, one on either side of the room, with a night stand separating the tow beds. And only one closet, but in that closet was only six alfits all together. Two work alfits, and one set of pajamas for each of us. on the lumpy beds where lumpy pillows to match.
"Yeah, Trixy, those would be grate." I said, taking the pajamas from her hands.
With a nod, "good, you can go put them on behind the door."
"Um, thanks. But before i put them on, could I ask you something?"
"Anything you want to ask, you can ask."
Taking a deep breath, "Do you know why I'm here?"
"What do you mean?" she asked.
"I mean, do you know why I'm not dead, because, I'm supposed to be dead right? that is what was going to happen....being the sacerfice and all."
"Oh, do I know why your here and not in a grave?" at my nod, she went on, "No, I don't why he didn't kill you, but what i can tell you is that, what he did, by stopping, it was incredible. Yes, he is the Eldest Blood Drinker and has better control than almost every other Drinker, it was still remarkable what he did."
"But why did he do it?"
"That is something to ask him, for I have no idea. he could have stopped because your blood was remarkably amazing, or it was gross. i have no idea. But all i can say is that your lucky, even if it doesn't last long."
"Oh thank you."
"your welcome. do you know about the Old Laws? the Laws that were in power before we, mostly got out of Slavery?"
"Hmm huh, why? what about it?"
A slow smile spread across her lips, slowly she moved over to her bed and sat down. "In the Headquarters, meaning here, they are the main Laws that we live by. The same Laws that prevents others to use or even look at you. You see, here its different, here the traditions are old and the Drinkers still remember how it was like when all of the Wyhers where under their complete and absolute control. before you ask it, let me just say that ones that you hunt, like to imagine what it would be like if they had you under their control but here, here you have to be careful. Over time the Free Wyhers have killed most of all of the ones at had them in slavery, the only ones left is the elders. they are the hardest to kill becuase they are so powerful and old. Hence, the name. We, the Slaves just don't serve the Elders we serve anyone we are told to, in anyway we are told to. some of us have Masters, but not that many. we just follow oders from one or the other Elder. out side of here, in the real world, Bands are rare in the outside world, but in here they aren't. at lest seven of us has a Band. then almost all of us has Bite Marks. Again, not uncommen. Do you know about the Possessive Laws? Yes? good. All of those are in affect also...."
