I felt as if my bones would pierce through my skin. No part of me did not ache, lips dry with my tongue darting out to wet them yet even that was not enough. I did not even have the strength to pull the robe that had sagged down, just an inch and my nipple would show. Silence echoed, the chanting voices carried away leaving the silence that echoed so loudly in my head. I wish I could say it was peaceful but it was far from that. I could not tell you what I was thinking or what I had been thinking all day long. A day would come now and again, whispering for me to stand up and take my shower for the day but slowly drifting away and leaving me curled where I was. My brain was convinced I would not be able to walk, my body falling into that trap with me just lying there. Even sleep ran from me, just blinking all through the hours with my eyes red, wet and sore from the abuse. My head pound hard, pounding from hunger, leaving my face feeling as if it would melt away. Two days it had been

My little body jumped and ran. Just five minutes and I was sweating. I hated this, groaning out with my fingers digging into my palm, drawing blood. The spell fell from my lips with the air shifting all around me as I teleported. My eyes opened and I was just up a hill, looking down and seeing something I could never unsee in my life. There were so many species, some I had never even seen. My eyes were wide open, bodies all next to me, dead naked bodies of creatures killed, pale bodies with life having been sucked from their bodies.It was horror, so many of them, like millions, as if the whole universe had been called to this war.Why? Why such anger? I did not understand, species that hated each other, sworn enemies were fighting together to kill a child. It did not make sense. I shook my head, wishing I had listened, stayed away because there was no way I could even last a minute in that war yet there I was, running down the hill.I could not even see Sire, my heart pounding even

“ Hold on my daughter. Not you, not yet, not ever.” The voice kept coming over and over, such thick darkness surrounding me. It was different than the darkness of that place I drifted to every time I went to sleep. This was a warm kind of darkness, as if I was just floating in heaven. It was a place where there was no pain, no heartache, no worries, just warmth and peace. I wanted to stay there forever but the voice came again. “ Not you, not yet, not ever.” It got louder and louder, a feeling spreading through me that I had to wake up and push out no matter how much I wanted to stay. I had to go back, someone needed me, having that feeling just pound through me to the point where I needed to get out, pushing out hard. Someone needed me, panic washing over me, pushing through the darkness, pushing through the dark cloud that wanted to swallow me. A voice screamed in my head, fighting to the point where it was suffocating, wanting to be free, wanting to get home. Pain was the first

The day passed with us just sitting around wide eyed, staring at the empty blood bag that sat in the dust bin brought from the bathroom. I was happy the tube was out of my body but the worry would kill me. It had been two hours, no one having said a single thing since the very last drop of blood. I felt as if my baby would just die from the lack of blood which he desperately needed. Something was just wrong, having not felt any movement or warmth from him. My hand lay on my belly, rubbing it while silently begging him to please be okay. I felt stupid and useless even thinking about it, just hoping he was okay. Each second I was breathing, I was just using so much energy and I still had not even recovered, feeling so drained, feeling so tired already. I lay back on the bed, my heart running laps in my chest. My love, please come back home, we can revenge later, for now our baby needs you. I kept saying in my head, trying to reach out to him in anyway I could but failing. “ The Quee

More warmth spread over my body and there was no time to panic or fight. My hand held harder with my eyes closing. I thought it would take long, my body panicking hard but as soon as my eyes closed, the plopping sound with the crying souls echoed in the tunnel I stood at.My heart drummed hard with the creature right behind me.“ I need your help.” The words escaped my mouth immediately.“ Take this.” The man said with a hand coming from behind. Teeth had sunk deep on the wrist, blood dripping from the golden glowing skin staring right at me.His fingers were pure black, the rest of his hand and arm golden as if gold highlighter was spread on him. The darkness seemed to have crawled up his fingers over time. His arm was large and strong, veins running up, seen just from the skin. In just one squeeze he could kill me with just his arm. My heart drummed harder, knowing that this could be a trick, another creature wanting to kill my child.I don’t know why even thinking of that sent some
