Dark Heart: Fay war.
Chapter Six.
Lyria leads them to a small stone room and slowly opens the door on the other side… she looks out and whispers "Wait a moment while I see it's clear" and slips out the door.
Lyria walks through the cell area like she should be there, pretending to check on the water in each cell. She finds no one actually on guard and runs back to the door, opens it and ushers the group in. Blaze stays at the door they came in, Lucifer takes up guard at the other door while Lyria shows Lord Castiel to Lord Dean's cell.
Lords Raphael and Gabriel led the vampire army into the fay city… they were met by the Fay army. Lord Raphael led the attack on the outer defences while Lord Gabriel led the assault on the castle. As promised hundreds of fay joined the vampires.
General Imogen was furious when she noticed several fay fighting with the vampires, wearing Prince Oran's coat of arms.
"Show the traitors no mercy !" she screams as she launches yet another attack on the vampires storming the castle. They manage to push the fay back and dozens of vampires get into the castle.
Lord Raphael is wounded but carries on fighting, trying to give Lord Castiel and Prince Oran time.
"Here… this one" says Lyria and steps back.
Lord Castiel is at the door in a moment "Dean ?" he says as he looks in.
Tarn is unlocking the cell door and has it open seconds later.
"Cas ?" mumbles Dean.
"Oh Dean !" cries Lord Castiel as he rushes into the cell and to his mate.
Lord Dean looks up and his eyes go wide "Cas ? Is it really you ?" he whispers.
Castiel takes one look at Dean and can not help the tears he sheds, he is so angry he snaps the shackles holding his mate with a thought and gently scoops Dean up.
"Oh My Love what have they done to you ?" half sobs Castiel.
"So hungry Cas…" murmurs Dean.
"Feed him quickly so we can get out of here" says Lucien.
Lord Castiel puts Dean's face to his throat "Drink My Love" he says.
Too hurt to be gentle Lord Dean simply bites and drinks.
Lord Castiel moans deeply and holds him close "I was so worried… so scared… but I have you now… I'll get you out of here Dean, I promise" he whispers.
He can feel Cas again… taste him, is in his arms and he feels so much better.
"Not too much or you'll be useless in a fight Cas" cautions Lucien.
'He has to be able to walk… run maybe" adds Tarn.
Prince Oran nods "Yes he does… Castiel would you allow anyone else to feed him ?".
"Lucien maybe" frowns Cas.
"Anything to help" nods the Alpha.
"Dean… enough" soothes Cas as he pulls the fledgling away gently.
Dean mewls and tries to go back to the blood.
Lucien moves forward and kneels beside them, offers his neck to Dean and says "Drink Little Lord".
Dean latches onto the Alpha's throat and drinks too hungry to care who he's feeding from.
Lord Castiel had to pry Dean off Lucien and carry him part of the way before he could walk on his own. The rest of the party surrounding them as they head back the way they had come.
Queen Vashti sits on her throne, her three sons around her and Axis prowling the room. The high mage had retreated to give the army magical assistance when really he was leading the rogue magi in helping the vampire army and the fay royalists.
"How dare they… when General Imogen has them under control I will find the little vampire's mate if he's with them and kill it in font of him" Vashti growls.
The triplets chuckle and grin.
"All this way… all that blood and you kill his prize before him… oh I love your mind Mother" coo's Taranis.
The mad queen grins "Of course you do My Son".
Axis frowns and wonders what is taking so long.
"Relax Father… we'll kill anything that comes through that door" says Esus.
"Yes Son… I know you will or I'll kill you" growls Axis.
"Touchy" grins Toutatis.
Taranis nods.
Queen Vashti grins and strokes Esus's arm.
Lyria pauses every so often to check ahead and makes sure their way is clear, she gets them most of the way out when she comes across two soldiers.
She pretends to be scared and asks them "Is it true ? Is the castle under attack… where do I hide ?".
"Head to the kitchen… hide in the pantry" advises one as they run by "We're under attack now go".
She nods and runs off until out of sight then wait's a few moments till she can no longer hear them running… she comes back and leads Lord Castiel's party on their way. Lord Dean clings to his mate but is walking on his own.
"We will get the two of you out then Tarn and I will come back for her" says Prince Oran.
"Thank you, my friend… I will never forget this" replies Lord Castiel.
"Blaze and I will stay with the Prince… Kale, get them home no matter what" commands Lucien.
"I will Alpha" says Kale.
"I too will stay… help you get rid of the mad bitch" vows Lucifer.
"You owe me nothing Lucifer" replies Prince Oran.
"No but I owe Castiel everything and without you he would not have Dean back so I will help you" declares Lord Lucifer.
Prince Oran nods "Very well".
"Count me in" grins Azriel.
"Me too" adds Dain.
Tarn grins and feels better.
Lyria gets them out of the castle but just before she leaves them Lord Dean grabs her sleeve "Thank you" he says.
"Your welcome… vampire" she smiles at him.
He smiles back and she hurries away.
"Az… the bastard who dared take Dean… bring me his head Brother" asks Lord Castiel when they get to the wall.
"Of course I will Cas" grins Lord Azriel.
"Thank you… thank you all" says Castiel.
"Yes thank you all" adds Dean.
"If we succeed you owe me nothing Castiel" says Prince Oran.
"We'll see" smiles Castiel.
Lucien kisses Kale before they leave each other at the rock wall.
"Stay safe My Wolf… get them home" says Lucien.
"You know I will… come back to us Alpha" replies Kale.
"You know I will" nods Lucien "Now go".
Twenty minutes after leaving Castiel, Dean and Kale at the wall the rescue party was cutting it's way through guards at the throne room door.
Lord Raphael and his forces had kept most the army busy while Lord Gabriel stormed and took the castle. Only a few of the castle guard remained unrestrained or alive.
Tarn and Lord Lucifer kick the throne room door in and two large werewolves bound into the room before Prince Oran.
"Usurper… get off my throne" he bellows.
