THE PLOT THICKENS! HAHAAHAHAAAAA! Enjoy!

Chapter 14

I stayed in my room again but this time I didn't bother locking the door. Kristin sat with me most of the time along with Mary. Andrew and Christian popped in every once in a while to see how I was doing. Jaiden, on the other hand, hasn't been seen.

"Has anyone seen Jaiden?" I asked Christian after a couple of days.

He shook his head. "We haven't seen him since that day in the kitchen. He gave us orders to stay here until he came back."

I thanked him and went back to the TV.

Everyone was good to their word. The following day, the windows were all sealed with blackout curtains. No light came thru them at all. And no one spoke a word of our meetings, future plans, or location. It was nice to feel like I could walk around the house again.

The Dark King continued to try and speak to me as well. Usually every time I tried to go to sleep. It got to the point one time I actually used an MP3 player to drown out his voice. He didn't like that very much.

On the fourth day, I was lying in bed when I felt that familiar presence.

I groaned and rolled over. I could almost feel him smiling.

How are you today, my love?

"Get lost before I get my MP3 player again."

I suppose having a deep meaningful conversation Is out of the question?

"You guessed right. Get lost."

Tsk tsk… You should learn to open up more to others…

"Oh I will… just not with you…"

He faded away and I sighed in relief.

…..

The following day, Kristin, Mary, and Me were in the sitting room watching TV. Andrew came in, looking tired and dead on his feet. We watched as he plopped into one on the seats.

"Are you ok?" I asked.

He shook his head.

"Nothing. I keep calling him and texting him, but I get nothing. He hasn't been gone this long before without some kind of call or way of knowing if he's alright."

We all looked at each other, alarmed.

"You think… he's been captured?" Kristin said, very pale.

Andrew didn't answer but he didn't have to. We knew what he was thinking.

"Excuse me." I said and stood.

"Brianna? Are you alright?" Mary asked.

"Yeah… I'm just going to go lie down for a while."

I left before they could say more.

As I walked, I couldn't stop the horrible things racing thru my mind.

It's my fault he's missing… He left to do something for me. I know he did. And now he could be in trouble.

I entered my room when a little light went off in my head.

I can do it! Maybe I can see if he's missing or not!

I went over to the bed, lay down, and closed my eyes.

Please let this work.

I closed my eyes and started to drift away.

Finally, a light went off in my head, and darkness took over.

…

I opened my eyes to the surroundings but I wish I hadn't.

Blood was everywhere. Bodies were spread over the room. And in my arms was one. I had ripped his head clean from his body, blood spraying everywhere. Including all over me. I tossed it to the floor, fury, hate, and bloodlust filling my head.

After a few deep breaths, I calmed down. Until someone spoke.

"My-my King? Please…"

I spun around, still infuriated.

"YOU DARE SPEAK TO ME?"

The small, spineless man fell to his knees, head down and weeping.

"Please forgive me, my King! We were defeated-"

"I KNOW YOU WERE!" I screamed, storming over to him. He continued as I stood over him, drenched in the blood of his failing partners.

"I GAVE YOU ONE SIMPLE TASK! TO CAPTURE THE TRAITOR JAIDEN BEFORE HE LEFT THE COUNTRY! AND YOU COULDN'T EVEN DO THAT!"

The pitiful man sobbed. I felt nothing. As he looked up one last time, the look on his face changed slightly.

"My-my king… your…"

I grabbed his throat and lifted him into the air.

"YOU SHALL DIE LIKE THE REST OF THEM!"

My teeth found his throat, but it wasn't sustenance I needed. As soon as my teeth ripped into his flesh, I drew away, taking a chunk with me.

He fell to the floor and I spit out the chunk of flesh, panting and out of breath. It took only a minute to compose myself.

After a few more minutes, I sat in my favorite chair as a knock sounded on the door.

"Enter."

My most faithful lieutenant entered.

He fell to his knees in a bow.

"My king."

I liked the blood off my hand.

"Tell me Sabin… how did he escape."

"My King, he was cornered at the airport parking lot. He shouldn't have escaped, but he had weapons. Most of them became too wounded to fight but then human authorities showed up. The men were arrested while Jaiden got away, unseen and flew out of country."

"Where did he go?"

"We are not sure, but our suspicions lead to Ireland or Scotland."

I was silent for a moment.

"My King? Shall we go after him?"

"No. We do not know exactly when he will be back or where he has gone. Have men stay at the airport. If he comes back, follow him and report back with his location. I want them all dead and my bride here immediately!"

He stood to go, but took a quick look at my face. He froze and stared with his eyes wide in shock.

"My King… your eyes!"

I stood immediately and went to the mirror. As soon as I saw my reflection, my face covered in blood, I also knew what he was talking about.

Beautiful blue eyes were staring back at me…

"Brianna…"

I sobbed, and pulled away…

…

I shot up and buried my face in my hands.

All those people are dead… and he didn't feel anything killing them!

I jumped off the bed and quickly made my way to the sitting room, hoping everyone was still there.

At least I know they don't have Jaiden!

I burst into the room and saw only Mary and Kristin.

They both looked at me.

"Where the hell did you go?" Kristin asked.

"He doesn't have Jaiden!"

They both looked alarmed.

"How do you know that?" Mary asked.

"Because… I saw into his mind again. Hey were trying to capture him, but he left the country."

They looked alarmed again.

"Brie, you can't keep doing that! You need to try and stay out of his mind!"

I don't care about that right now! I now know Jaiden is safe! At least, he was. But we know he hasn't been captured. We need to tell Andrew so he can calm down."

Mary stood. "I'll do it. Kristin, go ahead and tell Daniel and Christian. Brie, you go relax. And PLEASE stay out if his mind, ok?"

I shrugged. "Only if I have to."

She gave me a look, then left with Kristin.

I went back to my room and lay down on the bed, hoping to just go to sleep.

Just as I was about to drift away, the presence in my mind returned.

I wasn't surprised.

My love… Why did you look?

"You know why… Don't ask stupid questions."

You should not have seen that… You should not have looked…

"Oh please… you entered my mind enough!"

Any other time, I would welcome you…

"I can see that! You… you killed all those people! For no reason!"

They failed me-

"Your horrible! GET OUT OF MY HEAD! AND STAY OUT!"

For a moment I thought it worked…. But his presence was still there.

One day soon… you will understand… blood can eventually lead to peace…

He was gone before I could say more…

….

The following day, we all seemed lighter on their feet. The knowledge that Jaiden was out of the Dark Kings hands was comforting.

The day was almost over when I was watching TV alone in the sitting room.

The sudden presence filled my head and I groaned.

Anticipating me?

"I'm use to you just showing up now."

I knew you wanted to be with me…

I snorted. "Get over yourself. I want you to leave me alone."

Tell me… have you ever experienced pleasure?

I froze. "Huh?"

Pleasure… I know you are untouched but have you never experienced any kind of personal pleasure?

"That… That I none of your business!" I said, my face red and hot.

I see… would you like to?

At that moment, a burst of heat suddenly pulsed thru my body. I gasped and doubled over.

I learned a few tricks, my love

Another bolt of heat waved thru my body and I felt both shame and heat. My breasts felt tight and ached. My private place was now hot and wet.

I cried out. "PLEASE STOP!"

He laughed.

Why? Don't you like it? I LOVE it!

Another wave hit and I fell to the floor, arms wrapped around myself.

I panted. "How… are you doing this?"

It's our bond my love… you could easily do the same if you concentrate and take the time to learn…

Another wave and I screamed.

"STOP! PLEASE JUST STOP!" I cried, tears slipping down my eyes.

The pleasure I felt made me feel… dirty. It wasn't right.

A moment later, the door burst open.

'BRIANNA?" It was Kristin and Mary. They rushed to my side and knelt down.

"What's wrong?" Mary asked.

I sobbed in embarrassment and a wave hit and laughter rippled thru my head.

Perhaps I should have waited until you were alone…

The door burst open again and when I saw who it was, I almost cried in relief.

It was Jaiden

"Jaiden, help me!" I cried, reaching for him.

The pleasure seemed to fade and was replaced by a loud, deep, growl.

DO NOT TOUCH HIM!

I reached for him and Jaiden was by my side in an instant.

"Brianna, it's ok now."

I cried as Jaiden gently lifted my off the floor, caressing my neck.

DO NOT TOUCH HIM! YOU ARE MINE!

As soon as I was in his lap, Jaiden pulled a box out of his pocket. It was black and velvet.

He opened it and pulled out a simple, black choker.

NO!

Quickly, he pulled me forward and started tying it around my neck

BRIANNA, DON'T-

As soon as he finished tying it, I felt nothing. His voice was gone, the pain and pleasure… all gone.

I blinked and stayed silent a moment as Jaiden stroked my hair.

"What… What happened?"

Jaiden smiled at me. His first genuine smile.

"It will help you, Brianna. I'll explain later… but you need to sleep."

He picked my up into his arms and I suddenly realized how tired I was.

"But Jaiden-"

"Later." He ordered, carrying me out of the room, ignoring everyone.

I leaned into him, enjoying the silence in my head.

"Sleep, Brianna. We can talk tomorrow."

"You… promise?" I asked, yawning.

"I promise."

My last memory was being laid in my bed and cold lips against my forehead.

….

More to come soon! R&R please! ^_^

Btw, I think I should tell everyone; I can't make any promises from here on out as to when I can update. I'm getting ready to move and I still have a lot to do. I will do the best I can so don't give up on me!
