Chapter 5

Laura got tired of waiting for Lucian and the other lycans to return and the sun was still up so she decided to take a nap since she was a vampire and the sun was up and fell into a deep sleep.

Laura was having a nightmare of what the vampires would do to Sonja if they figured out about her relationship with Lucian about Sonja burning why Lucian watched and the thought of all the lycan slaves being tortured even more of Laura in a abusive relationship and watching all of this before her eyes.

Laura woke up screaming and she heard Lucian yell "Laura!" from somewhere outside.

She saw that the sun was setting and that it was OK for her to go outside and with vampire speed was outside running to Lucian knocking down lycans in the way.

Some tried to get her but Lucian fallers stopped them and said "She's with us."

Lucian took her hand and said "Are you OK?"

Laura said "Yea just a bad dream."

Lucian soothed her by rubbing his hands through her hair and said "Good I don't know what I would do if I lost you or Sonja. You just woke up in time I gathered some slaves and other lycans come with me."

Lucian grabbed Laura's hand and got on top of a bolder as the lycans and human slaves gathered around and Lucian spoke out "I have no wish to remove one shackle from around your necks, only to replace them with one of my own. You'll have a choice: you can run and hide, or you can stay and fight. Any man who fights with me shall have his freedom and, if he wishes it; immortality."

Some looked convinced but others didn't so Laura spoke up hopping that she was not speaking out of term "You may be scared of being killed or turning into a Lycan but I tell you if we don't stand up and help the vampires will not stop by taking slaves and the killing will get worse. We must stop this! I was human and looked what happened to me! We have a choice! We are just as important as the vampires! Do you want them to take over the others villages across the sea," there was a mummer of no's, "Then stand and fight with us become a warrior and fight for a cause Are you with us!"

There was a shout of yes! Through the forest and Lucian smiled at me and the lycans bowed their heads to me "Then line up and help."

The slaves lined up and the lycans granted them immortality. Lucian put a hand on her and said "You did great my dear. Where did they find a treasure like you," he kissed her hand and said "I am lucky to have a friend like you."

I smiled at that and my undead heart fluttered but then I thought he is my friend's lover so I can't be in love with him and smiled at Lucian.

As the lycans created weapons later that night Laura saw that Lucian was heading out into the darker part of the forest where the first lycans resigned. She asked "Lucian where are you headed?"

Lucian turned around and said "I'm meeting with the wolves."

Laura gasped and Lucian grabbed her hand and said "I will be back don't worry what I want you to do is watch over the other lycans stay close to Raze and Sabas."

Laura looked at him and saw determination and trusts in her and she said "Go and come back safe I will stay."

Laura why waiting for Lucian to return helped test the weapons to see how they all worked, everyone looked up when they heard the howl of the wolves outside. Laura said "Lucian did it I think."

The others looked skeptical. She just smiled at them all some still doted Lucian and what he was trying to do for them all even her an vampire.

Lucian returned and sat by Laura looking up at the moon he said "Sonja is supposed to come with us tonight so we can get a move on."

Laura sadly smiled at that she really wanted to act on her feeling for Lucian but didn't. Xristo spoke up and said "With respect Lucian, I do not see the wisdom in waiting for her. She is not one of us."

Laura rolled her and pointed to her and he said "You're different Laura. You know that."

Lucian said to him "She is the one who set us free."

Xristo glared at that and pointed to Laura and him and said "You two did and she is a vampire! If she has betrayed you, she could lead them to us!"

Lucian snapped at that and grabbed him by the throat and chocked him "Death Dealers will undoubtedly be on the hunt. And they will eventually find us. But not by her doing. I trust Sonja with my life, and as long as I'm in command so will you, and you will give her the same treatment as you do to Laura."

Lucian released his hold on Xristo and grabbed Laura's hand and walked away and Laura heard Sabas say to Xristo "I told you not to say anything."

Lucian sat by Raze why having Laura close to keep himself calm why waiting for Sonja to show up. Laura snuggled close to Lucian and said "Sonja will show up she would never betray you, she loves you to death and will stay with you, she spoke about to me in private about leaving with you a long time ago. She does not want to stay with her father at all."

Lucian smiled at Laura and said "I know and I know you want to stay with us to. We just need to free the others and we will be set."

Laura soon falls asleep but is pleged with the same dreams this time about Sonja being captured and locked in the room and Victor biting Sonja and throwing her on the ground finding out about Lucian and Sonja and Sonja crying out in pain saying "Help me."

Laura woke up screaming in pain same as Sonja and Lucian said "What is it Laura?"

Before Laura could answer they heard the hooves of horses and Lucian meet up with a woman and said "Sonja."

But as the hood fell down it reveled Luka the blonde vampire maid of Sonja and Laura said "Luka what is it where is Sonja?"

Luka looked at Lucian and said "Victor knows about you and Sonja she is being held captive by Victor. Just thought you would like to know," she yelled for the horse to go before she said to Laura "She knows that you feel what she feels. Don't come back Sonja knows if you come back Laura you would be killed just like the rest." And she was gone.

Laura turned to Lucian saying "What do with do Lucian?"
