All Chapters of Silver Sion: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Breathe it was all I could think. Just breathe. The tears ran down my face, but no sound escaped my mouth. I didn’t want her to find us. My little brother Cedar was shaking in my lap. Warm liquid leaked onto me. I didn’t care we were going to stay hidden this time. “Lucrezia. Luuuuccrrrrreeeezia. I know you can hear me. Lucrezia! Come out right now.” Her voice boomed so loudly my whole body shook. I had to just wait it out. She would grow tired. Maybe cedar and I would get lucky and she would stay out all night, but at this moment we had to wait her out. I could hear her overturning the little bit of furniture that we had. She snarled, I could just picture her red face. Her angry glassy eyes. The smell of alcohol permeating her clothes. I just had to wait. Wait, that is what I have always done. Wait for my mother to change, wait for my brother to grow up, and wait for the moment I could escape. “Lucrezia I’ll burn this fucking house down. Come out now! You sorry piece of shit. Where

To my surprise It truly didn’t take long. It had only been about fifteen minutes when we pulled up to a grandiose estate. There were dark ebony luminaries glowing soft orange on either side of the onyx staircase. There were two men on either side of the stairs and a man currently walking down them. He was tall, almost could be lanky, but he looked healthy. He smiled with no teeth as he opened the carriage door. He held out his hand. His fingers were long spindly things. It gave me a chill, but I grabbed the hand anyway. He was far more sturdy then I would have given him credit for. “Miles take those two to Lita. Have dinner prepared. I want to see everyone at the table in twenty minutes.” Cadogen was buttoning the last button while he talked. Miles nodded his head, his shiny blonde hair swaying in his face. “This way Miss.” Miles gestured up the staircase hand hovering at my back but never touching me. Cadogen walked up taking each stair two at a time. He was in the estate before I

Slowly I made my way to what was going to be my room for a while. It took me by surprise how beautiful everything was. Although I didn’t give myself time to dwell, I fell into the lush bed yanking the fluffy pillow under my head. I had never felt something so luxurious. The closest I had ever gotten was the cobbler’s son’s bed, but even that material was scratchy and left your skin feeling a bit raw after a romp. Just as I started to drift. The image of The vampire biting into her donor jumped into the forefront of my brain. My skin bumped up. I hadn’t let myself feel the fear earlier but now in bed alone for the first time in my life I let myself feel. I felt everything. The fear from my mother this morning, the years of abuse, the realization that I was in a vampire's home and they drank human blood. My body started to shake as the images mixed and contoured my mother beating me saliva bubbling in her mouth when she was angry. The vampire was biting the woman. Now the vampire was my

I was so stupid. I had really thought that life could change, but it never does. I ran aimlessly not knowing where I was. The well manicured grass turned more wild as I hit a tree line. Clearly no longer Cadogen’s property. I ran until my lungs felt like they would burn out of my chest. I should have paid attention when we were on the way here. I knew that they had used some sort of magic to make the trip shorter but I was starting to panic. I was lost. I just needed to find a town and then everything would be okay. The forest was alive, birds chirping melted snow falling. I was starting to get cold. I hadn’t realized how cold it was but now that I was slowing down the cold was starting to seep into my body. I just had to make it to a village or town. My legs burned with every step. It was contrasted by the pins and needling feeling in my feet. I hugged Cedar tighter. I walked for hours. At least it felt like hours and the sun moved in the sky. I finally came upon a little ramshackle h

We were all sitting in front of the fireplace watching the embers crackle. The big man reached for me and pulled me into his lap. I let him warm me.“Well, I guess since we are going to be family I should know your names. I’m Daire Krvna ” One of his hands started to rub my arm gently. Cedar looked at me. He was watching everything very closely.“This is Cedar and I’m Lucrezia.” I said, turning my face to look at Daire’s big brown eyes.“It’s nice to meet you Cedar.” Daire put out a big hand. Cedar looked at it wearily. “It’s okay you don’t have to trust me yet. Trust is earned. I get that. You're a good man looking out for your sister.” Daire spoke gently to Cedar. I smiled and Cedars' shoulders relaxed a bit. I wondered if telepath
