LUCIEN...

I need her to see, to understand what I was going through.

What she meant to me.

What I didn’t understand was myself.

And maybe I was too taken away to even notice what was happening to her, or I had merely overestimated what she could do.

I held her hands when I felt it slipping away from where it had been on my chest, and looked at her face.

Her eyes were closing, and her arms suddenly went limp beside her.

I held her waist and nudged her lightly at first, then vigorously.

My heart thundered in my chest as I looked down at her helplessly, not sure what to do.

Her body was still warm under my touch, but she remained unmoving no matter how much I nudged her.

My mind RACED with a lot of possibilities, but I came up with no explanation for what was going on.

I carefully moved my hand from under her waist, with my eyes still fixed on her peaceful face, and then bent down to raise her legs and make her lie completely on the bed while I thought of the best thing to do.

  • THE DUKE'S VIRGIN SACRIFICE   I KNOW YOU

    Elisa…There was no use in fighting anymore.I staggered back weakly as I watched one of the guards raise the serving spoon and hit it loudly and continuously on the pot, announcing that the soup had finished.I watched aswomen mumbled but stayed around, still waiting for something that might not come.I wanted to stand and wait too; maybe there was just a little more.But I was so far behind to even hope for a tiny leftover.I staggered back to the end of the room, wishing I had not even left my spot in the first place.My body slid down the wall slowly, and my legs gave in before I could position myself well enough to sit.I leaned my head against the wall, listening to my stomach rumble with emptiness, and my body slowly jerking with pain and desperation.I will be dead soon.I can see it all so clearly now.There is no way I will survive another day without food.Those flesh eaters will have me before the guards do, and there was nothing I could do about it.I shut my eyes and wis

  • THE DUKE'S VIRGIN SACRIFICE   MOVE AWAY

    Elisa…Days passed.Days that dragged on like decades, and it was during that time that I realized why many of them were quiet, while others forced me to remain quiet.It was due to hunger, and the strong sea wind that sometimes swept into the darkness and swallowed away every last drop of energy in our bodies as it tossed lifeless forms left and right in the room.I sat at the same corner of the room where I had been since the first day I was brought in, with my head hanging weakly against the wooden wall.It was the safest place to be, at least.Each time the wind came, I only had to hold on to a hanging chain from the wall until the wind stopped.Once, my hand had slipped from the slimy chain, but was held back from flying to the other end of the room by the young girl who remained close to me.Her weak frame had held on tightly to my hands until the wind subsided, and in between that moment, tears had slipped from her eyes, from the unbearable pain of holding on to me.One woman b

  • THE DUKE'S VIRGIN SACRIFICE   THE LAST END

    ELISA…Someone was pounding something too loudly beside me.Like a bunch of women beating rice.I tried to tell them to stop, but my mouth would not move, nor would my eyes even open to see who was making all the noise.I slowly moved my body, and the little movement brought my face closer to a smell that made my insides explode with disgust, and my body shook violently with pain.And then I realized.There was really no pounding; it was my own head beating the drums.I tried to convince myself that it was only one of those nightmares that shook me, but when I tried to breathe again, the air refused me.It was thick, sour, clotted with decay and salt, and it scraped my lungs raw as I dragged it in.My chest seized, and my throat tightened with each breath I took.The smell hit me like a blow.It smelled of rot, unwashed human waste, dried up blood, and salt water.And something else beneath it all—something sweet and wrong, like flesh left too long under the sun.And when my body conv

  • THE DUKE'S VIRGIN SACRIFICE   A LIE

    Lucien…“Elisa”My name on her lips had never sounded so strained and weak before.Unless, for the time, I had heard her call for me while I was in the desert.But I had only come back then to find her in the company of another man.I didn’t let the thought of the delivery boy linger in my mind for too long, for fear of what I might do to him if he did anything at all to her.I was on my feet before my mind could catch up, the sheets slipping from my body as I crossed the room in long strides, my bare feet barely registering the cold stone beneath them.“Elisa!” I called, throwing the door open.The corridor beyond my chambers lay dim and still, lit only by the pale glow of the awakening sun outside.For a moment, there was nothing—no sound, no movement.Then I felt a slight shift in my body, and immediately, my eyes adjusted to the darkness, and I saw the path before me through dim red eyes.I hurried towards the staircase that led down to the servant quarters.I should have taken he

  • THE DUKE'S VIRGIN SACRIFICE   YOU ARE MINE NOW

    Elisa - (Lord Edric’s court…)“So we meet again, my child,” a familiar voice, laden with the thick smell of rich wine and food, filtered through my ear.My body remained weak and unmoving on the icy stone floor beneath me, my eyes still heavily shut.But my body was alert, my ears sharper than my vision, and I was capturing even the slightest whisper.I knew I was far from the manor.Everything smelled different.Not just rich and expensive, but powerful, dangerous, and unfamiliar, far from the familiar scent of rich but empty hallways lined with flowers and old curtains that still breathed life even after many years.It didn’t smell like Lucien.Lucien…I thought to myself, and my chest began a steady pounding inside me.Lucien.“I underestimated your strength from the first day I saw you and your wretched mother in that godforsaken trench.” his voice was close to me - too close- and I from the gentle pull of my hair, I knew he was playing with my hair between his fingers.It repulse

  • THE DUKE'S VIRGIN SACRIFICE   THERE IS TROUBLE

    Elisa…Should I read it now, or keep it aside until I was ready to handle whatever truth he claimed was in it?Will I ever be ready for whatever was in the leaves?I stared at it for a while, trying hard to still my hands and just focus.What was this truth?Was Lucien really a murderer?Did he lie to me?But why will he? His eyes were so honest and sincere.‘It does not matter anymore, Elisa, it is too late.’ Lalora whispered again, but remained in the shadows.I ignored what she was saying.It was not making any sense, and most of the time, it vexed me just how much they kept from me and expected me to understand it.I was just a poor daughter of a widowed farmer who did not know anything outside the church hymns and the bible verses.I was only fortunate enough to learn to read and write because of the nuns in the convent who made sure we, the young altar girls and boys, learned under their care.I opened the sheets in my hands and looked with creased brows at the different handwri
