Thief of the Heart

Chapter 7

Valena entered the Sanctuary, it was dark outside and everyone was asleep. She walked to the room where everyone slept. And one by one began killing them. She exited the room, with their blood stained into the threading of her clothes. She walked down the hall with a dark smile, then she entered Ocheeva's room. Ocheeva was about to get into bed when she heard the doors open. There stood Valena.

"Ah, I see you have returned!" She noticed the blood on Valena's clothes. " What is going on? Why are you covered in blood?" Ocheeva saw this darkness overcome Valena. He eyes had bloodlust written all over them.

"The taint shall be purified! And I will serve my master's calling!" Without a second thought, Valena lunged at Ocheeva, driving the blade into her neck. She stood slowly and brushed her black hair out of her face and turned to the door, leaving Ocheeva choking on her own blood until death.

Valena slowly made her way downstairs to Vicente's room. There she saw him reading as he usually was. "If you must kill me then don't waste you're time. I'm sure Lucien will have other orders for you..." She approached him and held a special knife to his throat. One specifically made to kill a vampire.

"I do not take orders from Lucien Lachance..." And with that she slit his throat.

Back at Fort Farragut...

Lucien sat at his bed waiting for the news of Valena's success. He tried not to linger on his thoughts of the past. Leya sat at the table quietly watching him. There had to be a way to fix this. She stood to her feet and went to Lucien's side. She knelt in front of him on the floor. He just looked down at her.

"What do you want this time?" He said coldly. She looked down for a moment, then back up at him.

"I don't think you should make her you're Silencer."

"Oh, is that so? And since when did I allow you to give me advice on what I should or should not do?" She looked down.

"I have a bad feeling about her. Something seems off. Please, Lucien listen to me."

"Don't bother. I've already made up my mind. And the Night Mother has approved. I will not go against her."

Suddenly a noise was heard from the hidden entrance. Valena appeared and she was covered in blood. "I have done as you asked, Master Lucien."

Leya looked at her blood stained clothes in disgust. She stood to her feet and walked away. Valena followed her with her gaze for a moment before looking back at Lucien. He approached her. "Good work, you are indeed faithful to the Dark Brotherhood. Now I will go and bring the news to the Night Mother. You are now my Silencer."

Lucien walked away, with the sound of him gone, Leya enetered the room, but Valena was still present. She stopped and looked at Valena for a moment and then continued to walk to the table to prepare supper.

"He doesn't care for you, you know? Why would he? You're just a slave. So I would just give up. Stop trying to impress him, it's never going to work." Leya ignored her. Valena rush to grab her, knocking her into the wall. "Do you hear me slave!" Leya said nothing, Valena just smirked and slowly released her. "Fine, be that way."

Valena left and Leya slid down to the floor. She held her face in her hands and began to weep. She wanted to do something , but she felt helpless. She couldn't leave because of the curse on her. If she ever dared to set one foot outside this fort, she would lose it forever.

Meanwhile at the Sanctuary...

Lucien entered the sanctuary. He walked through the halls that he once grew up in with Ocheeva and Vicente. Looking around he saw books carelessly thrown across the floor, some body parts lying around. "This is madness...she was just supposed to kill them." He sighed and made it to Ocheeva's room. Once he entered the room he stopped and looked away. "By Sithis!"

He looked back and there was Ocheeva, he expected to see a mere knife in her heart but instead he found her nailed to the wall like some insect. Her tail was torn apart and he could see some of her scales were missing. Nails had been driven into her skull, eyes ripped out. Blood was everywhere.

Lucien would have been impressed if it was for the fact that it was his dear friend. Lucien turned and headed to the exit, fighting back the tears. If this was how Ocheeva was left, he did not want to see Vicente. "What's done, had to be done. And now I must prepare to do some more recruiting."
