Helena
I'm woken up by a tap on my forehead "5 more minutes muuuum". Tap, tap, tap. "Not your mother but you may call me daddy" A man! A man is in my room! My eyes ping open and I look to the other side of my bed. Laying on his side, leaning on his elbow, hand supporting his face. Oh that guy. Aaron, I think.
"Morning drooling beauty, time to get up" I grimace and wipe the drool from my chin. "What are you doing in my room Aaron?" He hops up and starts going through my closet. "Arlo, My name is Arlo. Ah yes, this will do nicely" He lays black skinny jeans and a white long sleeved crop top on my bed. "Allez hop, time for a shower. You stink". Here lies Helena, died from embarrassment.
"What time is it?" I ask as he starts going through my underwear drawer. I bolt up off of the bed and slap his hands "Hey perv! back off" He backs away and slumps himself on the small sofa in my room. "I'm only trying to help, hurry up we haven't got all day. Well, evening now I guess"

*WARNING! descriptions of abuse and rape*At my desk, I'm looking over the treaty between us and the human world. "Hmmm do you think I should just haze his majesty, to agree to our terms. He seems to think that he provides us with enough doners in return for the safety of his people. It's less than the previous Kings offer. I hate young new kings. I quite enjoyed his father's company. A good man" My adviser Marcellus takes the parchment from me "My queen, I think we should try re-negotiating first. He has been hazed to keep our secret already. You have to think on a human level" He pours me a glass, my thoughts drift as I stare into the flames of the fireplace. "Thank you Marcellus, that is all" He bows and takes his leave. I feel a pinch within my chest. He's back. I jump to my feet crab a candlestick and make my way through the palace. I'm following the pull. My excitement grows as the pull strengthens. I must be getting closer. My mark starts moving on my skin. The pull flu
Thorne and Throne Meet my maker
Surrounded by books on the library floor, I've lost count of how many I've read. I actually just have to flip the pages, cover to cover. My mind absorbs the content. Like super speed reading. Alarich and I have been at it all day and we are coming up short."Perhaps we can send an envoy to look at other realms libraries. We have so many history texts here and we still have no answers" He looks down defeated blinking his weary eyes. "That would take too long, maybe it's new. Something that has never taken place before".Arlo enters on a skateboard. He is wearing one of those nametag stickers. You know the ones that have 'Hello my name is' on them. Naturally, the 'O' of his name is a winky face. I stopped questioning his behaviour a long time ago and just accepted it. Alarich seems to have given up also as he just shakes his head."Queenie, your phone is going off" He skates over to me holding the phone out "Arlo, I don't do phones, deal with it" He
Thorne and Throne In Memoriam part 5
Standing with the usual team, in front of the heavily locked metal door. In which he resides behind. Janet is drawing symbols, in sacred salts and dirt from The Crossroads on the floor. Viles of various liquid are thrown in a bowl, for our trap. I can't help but think back to the last time she prepared this.***************Marcellus and I are travelling to yet another coronation feast, for a new human king. I've been to so many of these now. I will no doubt attend another in 40 years or so. The scene unfolding out the carriage window, as we pass through the human lands is grim.Many are burning their dead. Buildings are burnt and the air is thick with the scent of blood and dirt. "Perhaps another plague" Marcellus offers. "No doubt. It seems it was an eventful day for them. I will offer assistance to the new king. Our men won't be affected by the human ailments. The act of kindness, will serve us well when the time comes for treaty talks"M
Thorne and Throne Your full name?
Just like it was before, dripping my blood on the jeweled dagger. Janice drops it in the bowel with the other contents. She stirs and places the mixture on her finger, marking the ground with more symbols. "I get that we are all about the blood. I do, but why does everything require it. It's boring now" Everyone ignores Arlo's opinion as usual."Ready when you are, your highness" Janice walks passed placing an encouraging hand on my arm. I guess it's the moment we've all been waiting for. Holding my breat, I place my hand in the centre lock. The chains start retracting. The sound of gears turning and metal scraping only adds to the tension.The doors slides open. There he lies, like an angel, serene and beautiful. I walk to his form lying on a stone table. My hand glides over him. For the smallest moment, I forget the hurt and pain. The pull to him is so strong. I fight it and focus on what needs to be done.I hold my bleeding wrist above his mout
Thorne and Throne Usurper
"You look just like her, my mother"I drag him out of the room. "What on earth are you talking about?" I ask crossing my arms. "You wanted answers" He shrugs. "I need more than that, I'm not in the mood for your games" He takes my hand in his just like old times "Well the girl in there is my decendant"What now? "That makes no sense, She smells human. If you managed to beat the odds and impregnate another, then there would be nothing human about it. You were never changed. You were born this way, so was your mother and your grandmother."That fucking grin ...."Exactly my love, Unless I got a human pregnant" I take my hand out of his remembering my vow to not let him touch me. "I think your long rest has muddled your mind, that's impossible. We can only have children under an alignment with our own kind and even then it's rare unless you carry the Mark of the Queen"He turns to walk away, oh no you don't. I grab his arm "On one of my m
Thorne and Throne Serpentine
"Take Helena away from here, do not tell me where you are going. There's a vial of blood in my room, Drink it. You'll be able to go out in the sun. Move fast" I reach out to Arlo mentally. He replies to my mind with an image of a thumbs up emoji.I launch myself on top of my maker. In an attempt to halt him. The longer I'm in his presence, the more obedient my mark grows and betrays me. I'm trying to hit, bite and even scratch him. The mark is spreading over him shielding my attacks. He continues walking with me on his back.We stop in front of Arlo and Helena trying to make their escape. Arlo steps in front of her but Thorne grabs his throat and throws him away. I pry myself from his back and step in front of Him. His eyes are red and snake like."ENOUGH! You will step aside. You will obey me" Shit. I follow his instructions. As I'm trying to break the sire bonded command. He focuses his gaze on a shocked Helena"You are my progeny, and the
Thorne and Throne Oracles and Orgies
We reach the end of the road. There's nothing at the end of it, Just vast landscape. "Nothings here, I expected to see houses made out of trees, cats and green people" Right on cue, Dante slaps the back of Arlo's head. It surprises me he doesn't have a hand printed dent in it."Children" Janice mumbles. "My young companions, we are indeed here" The twins stare at Thorne confused. Janice clutches my hand, she steps forward and a town appears before us. "That's kinda badass" Dante says. Janice and her snippy attitude turns to the twins "You didn't expect a place full of magic to be out on display for a human to stumble into. You boys have so much to learn."I have to admit I'm glad we finally made it here. As much as I love Arlo. I think I speak for the group, when I say. I don't think I can cope with him singing another song that has the word magic or spell in it. "Ah marvellous a tavern" Thorne points to a crooked stone building with a sign hanging over the d
Thorne and Throne Don't bother
We all walk, making our way back to The Crossroads, in silence. Yes, even Arlo. Shocked by the oracles revelations and feeling a bit despondent. No plan and no idea what to do next. Where do we even go from here?I'm going to turn human. I can't remember my human life. The notion of my fate, is so foreign to me. 500 years a vampire. Not just any vampire but the vampire queen. Unimaginable power and abilities. I'm struggling to adjust to my new standard vampire form.As if he reads my thoughts, no doubt he did. Thorne stops me and places a hand on my shoulder. "It will all be well my love, I will turn you again" I nod, not really paying attention to him.We arrive at The Crossroads, in the centre. Looking at each of the paths ahead of us. Then it hits me like a bus. 'I will turn you again'. I feel repulsed at the thought. "NO!" I shout out. All eyes fall on me, questioning my sudden outburst."I won't let you turn me" Thorne laughs "You say t
