JEREMIAHI can tell the blood is fresh, as I can smell it. I pick it up and down it in one. I look over at Amelia as she giggles."What?" I question as I raise my eyebrow at her."It looked like you hadn't had a drink in weeks, not just hours... Or just had to drink something that you despised."I smirk at her as she leans forward and lifts the lid off of her breakfast, her plate is stacked high with pancakes, eggs, bacon, tomato, mushrooms, waffles and anything else you could think of having on your breakfast table.I take the lid off of mine and then once she had taken a small bite from hers; I dig into mine. She giggles and I look over at her. I finish mine and watch as Amelia finishes hers. I then make her scream as I get to my feet, pull her to hers and then throw her over my shoulder.I walk with her into her bed-chambers and throw her onto the bed. I remove my shirt and my pants before walking up to the bed. I reach d

EMMA I woke early the next evening and start my schedule, as I am still really sore. I noticed last night that it took me a little longer than normal to finish and be back at the Master's chambers before dawn.I managed to get my entire schedule done both evenings without running into Norman or him calling me into his office. I finish up and, as usual, Finn is waiting just outside the door of my last chamber. I am still a little weary of him as he walks with me to clock out and then escorts me back to the Master's chambers. I thank him as I do every morning and then enter the chambers.I am surprised that the Master's scent is much stronger this morning; I head into the bathroom and have a quick, hot shower again. Once done, I wrap a towel around me and walk into the bedroom; I look at the end of the bed and realise that my nightdress has been moved and is now lying on the pillows. I grab it and slip it on. As I pull back the blankets and climb

EMMA A week after the Mater returned Norman corner me once more in one of the guest chambers that I entered after cleaning the Master’s chamber and he had been in there checking on the Master. I try to keep my scream in as he grabs my wrists, clamping something around one of them as he walks me backward until my back hits the wall. I whimper as he transfers one of my wrists into the grip he has on the other. I whimper more and more as he runs his now free hand down my body. I can’t stop the tears, and he just smirks. I try to contact Odette, but she doesn’t seem to be there. I can’t believe she has deserted me. I gather whatever courage I have, which unfortunately it’s not much, and my voice only comes out as a whimper as I say,“Don’t touch me... That hurts… Leave me alone...”He lets out a low chuckle, skimming his lips over my skin, making it burn and feel like someone is ri

JEREMIAH I feel my anger still rising as he continues, “When I fought you, it was not you… And the fact that I managed to get the better of you was proof of that…” “Still, she is mine, and you had no right to interfere…” I feel my eyes flash, and a wave of very strong anger overtakes me. I don’t think I just lunge at him. I connect with his jaw before he realises what is happening, but it doesn’t take long for him to block and fight back. We go back and forth, dodging and hitting. I am taken by surprise when he manages to hit me hard in the side of the jaw, knocking me to the floor, where I then hit the back of my head. He steps back, still in his fighting stance but not attacking me anymore, but then I was the one to attack him, not the other way round. I go to get up when I am hit by an agonizing sharp pain that rips through me, starting at my head and going down through the rest of my body. I am quickly surrounded by darkness. I am floating through my memories, seeing them pla

THIRD PERSON Emma doesn’t know that she is still being watched. He smiles as he sees her hobble into the prince’s chambers and knows that he will be called upon to see to her injuries later. It had actually gone better than he thought it would.Once Emma had disappeared inside, Norman steps out of the shadows and walks down the hall to where her guard, Nathan, is leaning on the wall, smirking. Norman smiles and nods, passing Nathan a small vial of a clear liquid as he passes him, heading to his office.Nathan puts the vial in his pocket and pushes himself off of the wall. Now that the healer has given him what he needed, he calls it a morning and heads to his bed within the warrior wing. Knowing that a beautiful, feisty little red head will be waiting to pleasure him, as her payment to him for allowing her to beat the witch wolf while he stood back and watched.It isn’t much longer before the healer's plan will be put i
