I apologize
for the length of time between updates, however, I do know what I’m doing for
the next chapter so hopefully you won’t have to wait too long before I update
again. I’ve been rather indisposed with
other projects but I am still working on this.
Also, hopefully soon I will have updates for Little Soul and Good Pet,
they have taken a backseat to this and my own personal project. I am also considering reworking Shades of
Black, making it better, however that will wait until I have more time. Let me know what you think and thank you for
reading.
Chapter 16
Harry
awoke at nightfall, feeling hungry, the thrum of the moon, of the night raced
through him. He dressed quickly, the
same leather from the previous night.
Something was going to happen tonight, he could feel it in his blood,
but he had no idea what was about to transpire.
The moment he got outside Dominik was waiting for him, immediately he
knew something was wrong.
“Aurel…”
He trailed off, pulling him to the side.
“What
is it?” He could barely keep the panic from welling up inside him.
Dominik
looked away for a moment before meeting his gaze, “Nicolae and Doriel are
missing. Alexander already knows, he
didn’t want me to tell you but I couldn’t keep it to myself.” He paused for a
moment before continuing, “You have to talk some sense into your
grandsire. He’s not thinking straight,
he wants to run off after them and we have no idea where they’ve gone.”
Harry
could feel a lump in his throat, “W-What?
They’re gone? I have to go find
them.”
The
older vampire grabbed his shoulder as he tried to walk away, “No, Aurel, you
can’t, we don’t know where they are. I
was hoping you could stop Alexander from running off, please Aurel, you’ve always
been the voice of reason.”
The
young man swallowed hard and took a deep breath before nodding, “Alright.”
Slowly he made his way toward where he saw Alexander standing, trying to
swallow down the lump that was still in his throat, “Grandsire, Alexander.” The
elder vampire turned his gaze on him, eyes flashing angrily, “Please, calm
down, we can deal with this but not if we lose control.” He kept his voice
calm, trying to soothe him.
“Aurel,”
He hissed softly, “I know what’s happened, I will deal with it.” His voice was
low and angry, “That fool Dumbledore and the Tarus, they will be dealt with! I will see them broken, ruined.”
Harry
wrapped his arms tight around him, trying to calm him at least a little,
“Please. We have to do this right. We can’t just attack Dumbledore but we can
start with the Tarus, please. They have
to know something.”
Alexander’s
eyes flashed but he nodded in agreement, “Very well, let’s find and deal with
them first.”
Harry
didn’t leave his side, staying near his elder as they went looking for where
the Tarus had secluded themselves for the day.
The young vampire was anxious, Alexander was tense and it was rubbing
off on him. The Tarus actually had the
gall to show up; part of Harry was surprised when he saw their patriarch speaking
with one of his underlings. The two Lior
vampires approached on soft feet, careful not to alert him to their approach. Alexander struck first, clamping a hand over
his mouth and jerking him against his chest.
Harry growled at the young Tarus, bearing his teeth, before watching him
flee. The elder Lior snarled, jerking
him toward the house.
“What
are you doing?” The leader of one of the other clans, Dirin, went to grab
Alexander’s arm but Harry let out a low snarl, his eyes flashing angrily.
“It’s
none of your business.” He hissed, “Go.”
Dirin
swallowed hard and took a step back, not preventing Alexander from dragging the
struggling Tarus into the house. Harry
watched intently as they made their way downstairs, to the dungeons. All good vampires had a dungeon in their main
home and Alexander was no exception.
Harry opened the door for him, helping him chain the vampire to the far
wall. Slowly Alexander stepped back to
admire his work. Tarus hung from the
wall, his arms stretched tight above his head, his legs shackled to the floor
as well.
“Now
then, Virgil, shall we begin?”
Virgil
spit at him, his eyes narrowed angrily, hitting him on his cheek. Alexander’s eyes were slits of gold as he
wiped it away, his lip pulled up into a snarl.
In a flash of movement his hand made contact with Virgil’s face,
whiplashing his head to the side.
“You
are a fool to cross me. What did you
tell that idiot Dumbledore?”
Virgil’s
eyes flashed gold and he burst out laughing, tossing his head back. It took him a minute to get himself under
control, he had laughed so hard tears had spilled from his eyes, “What makes
you think that I will tell you anything?
Didn’t I tell you that you would get yours one day? That I would make you see the light?”
Harry
swallowed hard when he saw the smile on Alexander’s face; he had never seen
such a vicious smile on his grandsire’s face, pure, unbridled, hatred and rage. The young vampire leaned against the far
wall, watching with interest as Alexander picked up a long, thin blade. Gently, almost reverently, he traced his
fingers over the blade, the edge splitting his skin, blood spilled over
glinting silver. Virgil’s eyes grew wide
and he jerked at his bonds, fighting to free himself.
“What
do you think I’m going to do?” He tipped the blade, watching his blood move
along grooves etched into the metal.
“I
know exactly what you have planned.” Virgil jerked at his shackles harder, “I
won’t let you!”
Alexander
moved slowly, standing toe to toe with him, the blade separating them as he
held it in front of his face, “Tell me what I have planned then.”
“You’re
going to use vampire magic on me!”
“Of
course I am. Now, you could tell me what
I want to know and perhaps save you and I some time and effort.” The blade
glowed softly, the blood runes flashing with power.
He
swallowed hard, “What do you want to know?”
“Where
are Doriel and Nicolae?” His voice was a low hiss.
“I
don’t know.” He swallowed again.
The
elder shook his head, “Wrong answer.” He moved to blade toward his left cheek.
“No,
no, I can help! I know where Dumbledore
is, I can tell you what I told him!” He jerked his head away from the incoming
blade.
“Speak.”
His hand stopped, the runes thrummed with power, pulsing slightly.
He
tried to pull his head away further but Alexander followed him, “There’s a
house, he took me there once, I-I can take you there.”
“What
did you tell him? You know that you are
bound by blood not to betray us.” The blade was pressed against his skin.
“I
only told him that Doriel is your mate and that he raised Aurel. I only gave him access here so that he could
come get Aurel before you corrupted him further!” A scream escaped his lips as
Alexander’s hand shook, the blade digging into his cheek, splitting the skin.
“You
fool.” He hissed, drawing it down, watching the blood spill into the runes, “Do
you realize what you’ve done?! He
couldn’t get to Aurel so he took Doriel, he took Nicolae. You’ve betrayed your own! I will show you the truth, I will make you
feel this week more keenly, you will no longer have your own clan, no, you
aren’t worth of that, you will join another and the others in your clan will
return to their own.” He smiled wickedly, “You will know what it means to be
one of us.”
“No!”
He shouted as Alexander grabbed his shirt and pulled, tearing the leather
easily.
“I
will not tarnish my clan with you but I know someone who would be more than
happy to take you.” He turned to Harry, “Aurel, go get Dominik.”
Harry
nodded and quickly ran out, looking for the Tere patriarch. He found him in the gardens, obviously
worried about his childe but doing his best to hide it, “Dominik, could you
come with me please?”
The
two of them returned to the basement without a word, Dominik strode into the
room first, having seen Alexander drag Virgil down, “Where is my son?!” He
shouted, moving in quick strides toward the hanging vampire.
Alexander
held a hand up, stopping him before he could get to Virgil, “Dominik, be
still. You can play with him all you
want if you agree to a proposition I have.” A soft growl escaped Dominik’s
lips, “The Tarus family is being disbanded, the request is that you take Virgil
into your clan. He will know exactly
what it means to be one of us.” Dominik’s smile matched Alexander’s; he nodded
his consent, “Most excellent.” He took a step back, setting the knife aside
before picking up a clean one, holding it out to Dominik.
The
Tere patriarch took the blade, slitting his finger and tracing the runes
slowly, watching his blood spill into them.
Once the blood was settled and began to pulse with life he returned the
weapon to Alexander.
“Virgil
Tarus.” His voice was a low purr as he held the blade to his chest, “By blood
you were made and by blood you will be undone.” The runes hummed with power as
Alexander began to trace a design with the tip of the blade. Virgil bit back a scream, “Stripped and unraveled
you are reborn.” He drove it into his heart, slamming the six inch blade to the
hilt and finally wringing the scream that he had been holding back from his lips. Alexander pulled back slowly, the blade
remaining deep inside him, a fine trickle of blood slipped from around the
silver knife, “Your turn Dominik.” He moved to the side, motioning for Harry to
join him.
The
young vampire stood beside his grandsire as Dominik wrapped his hand around the
hilt, “Be reborn,” His voice was a low whisper, “Virgil Tere.” He jerked the
blade from his heart, wringing another scream from the vampire. With the bloody blade he slit his wrist,
forcing it to Virgil’s lips, watching as his throat worked to swallow his
blood. Finally he pulled his wrist away,
mockingly petting his hair back, “There’s a good boy. Now you will show us exactly where Dumbledore
and his group of fools are.”
