Chapter 7!
It has been a couple months sense we started our journey to Vampire Mountain, and it isn't easy at all. The nights are cold and my feet hurt badly sense my skin is young and soft yet letting anything sharp penetrate my feet, but I haven't said anything. I've heard multiple times from daddy saying that vampires need to be strong… So I don't say much.
"Morgan keep up!" I heard as I snapped out of my train of thought running ahead between Guavner and daddy panting softly. "We still have a ways to go so speed up the faster we move the faster we will get there." Guavner said with an encouraging smile as I tried to smile back the best I could.
Soon we reached a cave and settled in for the night, by now I was noticing that my feet were more sore than usual so I told daddy I was going to the bathroom so I could see them closer without raising suspicion. "ow" I said quietly sitting on a log looking as my feet that are now filled with splinters and burs, the skin around them red. I jumped as heard a voice behind me "Morgan what are you doing I thought you were using the bathroom?" Turning around I saw it was daddy and he was staring at my foot, as he shook his head and picked me up taking me back to the cave telling guavner to get some herbs from the bushes outside the cave as daddy sat me down studying my feet closely.
"Morgan why did you keep this from me? Both of your feet are infected no wonder you haven't been keeping pace…." Looking away from his gaze I heard guavner come in and wince with a sharp breath as daddy grabbed my foot pulling the larger splinters out as I let out a scream guavner holding me still until we were done.
After daddy finished with my feet I was set by the fire shaking hard tears in my eyes. "Morgan next time you need to tell us okay…." Nodding still turned away I starred at the fire falling asleep. I woke earlier than usual the next night stretching feeling unusually warm than I normally do in the snowy terrain, looking around I noticed I was in between the two vampires… and they were spooning sort of. "I wish I had a vampire camera or something' I whispered getting up going to the edge of the cave the sun just starting to set. "Beautiful isn't it sweet heart?" I nodded as daddy picked me up holding me close, but the beauty was stopped by gauvners loud snoring. We both looked back at him and shared a laugh as we went to get him up and start another day.
As we left the camp I couldn't help but feel anxious about our destination, I had so many questions I wanted to ask…. Why are there no other girls? ... How can I stop the war? ... Will anyone really like me there?
Soon I found myself drifting into my mind ignoring the world, until I felt a poke and I looked up seeing a large mountain. "there it is Morgan" Guavner said happily running toward the mountain daddy soon following after him, me still on his shoulders. Looking ahead I saw guavner stopping at what looked that a bunch of bushes at the base of the mountain. "Shit" daddy cursed quietly. "It will take weeks to get around this unless we go through" Gauvner turned and started to strip himself fully as daddy set me down starting to do the same, the look on my face must have been very confused when I started to get stripped to. "Daddy what are you doing?" my voice sounded confused and embarrassed. "We need to remove or clothes when we walk through these bushes our by the time we get through they will be ripped to shreds.." I blushed hard as daddy pulled off my clothes leaving me completely nude for all to see. Looking up I noticed Guavner was eyeing me but looked away as daddy gave him a growl of warning. "Daddy I don't like this its cold" He picked me up holding me against him. "shhhhh we will run through this quickly than it will be all over, now close your eyes" As I closed them daddy started running through and a couple minutes later he stopped panting quietly guavner coming as I slipped my clothes back on and was staring at the entrance to the mountain.
As we entered the mountain I could feel myself getting more nervous than before, my heart sped up as we approached a large door with three guards standing in front of it, I noticed right away that one of them was checking me out as we stepped into the touches light. "Halt!" yelled the middle guard making me jump. "State your name and reason for being here…" Said the middle guard again. "I am Larten Crepsley I have come to seek Counsel… I am Guavner Purl I have come to seek counsel…" I looked up knowing all eyes were on me now but I was frozen momentarily I forget my name and what I was here for, but daddy saw my distress and jumped in. "This is Morgan Lynn Crepsley she has come to seek counsel" All the guards watched me nodding than the left guard spoke up. "I smell vampanez on her!" He was about to pull out his knife but was stopped by the middle guard. "Calm Vlad I sure there is a reason for this" The guard who's name I know as Vlad now stopped and opened the door slowly letting us enter.
When we walked in the room our noses were instantly greeted with the smell of cooked meat and vegetables, my stomach growled in reply waking daddy laugh some as we made our way over to a table in the middle of what is called the dining hall. "Larten!" I heard a loud voice yell as daddy turned around a grin on his face hugging an older man. "Seba! Good to see you old friend!" The man smiled and smiled saying hello to Guavner, as I hid behind daddies' leg. "Seba I have someone I would like you to meet..." I heard daddy say as he pulled me out from behind him gently the man eyes going wide but then gentle seeing I was frightened. "Well hello there young lady, my name is Seba what might your name be?" Seba eyed me carefully. "M-Morgan sir…. Morgan Crepsley" Seba smiled kindly. "What a beautiful name, are you hungry Morgan? I Hope you like meat" I nodded and smiled as he sat at the table we were going to me, daddy, and guavner sitting on the other side as men with large barrels of food came around along with water wine and some goats some. I started eating and looking around realizing I was the main attraction, but I ignored them paying attention to the food on my plate.
I looked up a little hearing my name from the conversation between daddy and Seba were having but what I heard was the same the daddy said a long time ago "you cannot just bring a young girl to the mountain! She can barely defend herself!" Seba said in a harsh whisper. "do not worry Seba I will have her by my side the whole time…" That's all I heard as I drifted off to sleep only to be awoken by daddy nudging my shoulder slightly. "Sweetheart wake up.." Opening my eyes I saw daddy, Guavner, and Seba smiling at me. "Larten she is tired let her sleep…. I will show you to your rooms" We walked down a few halls and we got to a room with a coffin blankets and a nice fire place with a fire going, daddy thanked Seba and we said goodbye settling down for a long nap falling asleep quickly in daddies arms.
