CHAPTER 23:
"p-pardon me your majesty but I don't have anything to wear for the night and I can't find my uniform" she barely said from the bathroom.
"you shall wear my robe tonight"
"b-but s-sir I-"
"or would you rather sleep naked? I don't mind either of them" though she refuses me, she's trying to do her duty and is bad at it sometimes.
I placed my robe on the edge of the bed as I heard her footsteps walk into the room.
Attempting not to look at her was one of the hardest things I've ever done but I didn't want to see her naked, at least not yet; but that doesn't mean I haven't felt her before.
When she was done with the robe, I turned to look at her.
She looked so weak and pale.
But my stomach was grumbling for more; I guess one last drink wouldn't hurt...maybe not me at least.
And I'll try my best to make it less painful for her this time; so she'll enjoy what I'm enjoying.
Lyra's POV:
The king's robe was incredibly huge on me.
I could make two dresses out of this single one and still have some left over for a cloak.
"thank you for giving me this sir" I didn't look up to him.
Right now I needed some rest.
Tomorrow might as well be my last day in this prison; that's if the king doesn't think of a clever way to keep me in his room.
"I'm hungry again" his voice was low and hoarse.
I couldn't do this anymore.
When he didn't get my response, he stood behind me and turned me around to look at my face.
"you don't understand. At this point, I feel like I'll die without you" he leaned in to my neck and I moved back slightly.
"you know I don't like it when you squirm and now you'll pay" I barely had time to react before he slung me on his shoulder and placed me in the middle of his bed.
As he crawled over me, my body shook.
No matter how frequent he does this, it'll never be something I'll get used to.
"please...don't I-I'm too weak-" I tried pleading.
"shut up! I can't hold back anymore!" he held both my wrists in his big hand and the other one draped the already big robe off my neck.
Sharp fangs pierced my skin and the only thing that left me was a small squeak.
I was too weak to even scream.
The thought of biting my lips came to mind but I was afraid he would kiss me again.
"I'm not doing this to kill you or hurt you" the king mumbled into my neck as he spoke.
"but I can't live without this...it's becoming too much for me to handle"
He sounded as weak and helpless as I felt but that's not possible!
He's the king, he could do whatever he wished and no one would stop him; I'm his slave and he has total control over me.
So him sounding like a helpless little boy was rather strange.
His large hand loosened around me and roamed my body and another level of fear washed over me.
I tried pushing him off like last time but there wasn't any strength left; not even the slightest.
"p-please d-don't" I managed to say.
"it's time for you to be silenced" I was expecting him to hit me but he moved up to my face and took my lips.
I couldn't respond.
When his tongue began to lick my lips, I shut them harder.
He was persistent but I used everything I had not to make it enjoyable for him.
A gasp escaped me when I felt his huge hand on my breast, allowing his tongue into my mouth.
The king was trying everything possible for me to respond to his actions but I couldn't.
Even if I had strength; it still isn't right.
How would Lady Hellen feel if she found out about all of this?
His tongue explored my whole mouth and left no stone unturned.
The kiss became harder and more forceful.
He was violating me and I hoped it wouldn't get farther than this.
All of a sudden, he bit my lips till it began to bleed.
So he drank from me while kissing me at the same time.
I couldn't hold on much longer...everything became hazy and my eyes grew heavier.
"s-sir; I'll die if you don't stop" my throat was dry and no sooner than I said that, he stopped and pulled away from me.
"sh*t; I've gone too far" his voice wasn't clear but I drifted off to sleep.
..............
"so...are you ready to escape tonight?" the hooded lady asked.
"if I'm being honest..no. I'm terrified that we won't make it out alive; plus, I told my friends I would handle the guards since they're handling transportation and food. It was the least I could do but I don't know what to do"
"as I have said...I'll handle the guards. No one is going to stop you from doing this"
"but how? No offence but I haven't exactly seen you in the physical world before and you only appear when I fall asleep or pass out...like I did just now"
If I hadn't told him to stop, I don't think I would be having this dream!
"I have my ways; besides that's the least of our problems...why don't you tell me how you feel about the king" she gently placed her hands on my shoulder.
The question came out of nowhere!
"what do you mean...feelings for the king? I'm his servant! There's no relationship between us"
"Lyra I'm basically in your head; so don't lie to me. Why don't we have a chat"
Well there's no use hiding.
"well I don't have feelings per say but something's telling me there's more that meets the eye about him. From time to time I feel like he's just misunderstood...they all are. But it's not like I could help anyway!"
"Lyra you're a kind and gentle soul but if I may ask; why are you think he's misunderstood? Even after everything he's done to you"
"don't get me wrong; though he violates me and drinks from me till I pass out, there's still a heart in there; it's just really small and slightly frozen"
"so would you be willing to stay back and help him?"
"NO!" I answered immediately.
"Why would I stay back to help a stuck up vampire king? I mean if the roles were reversed I don't think he would do the same for me. Let's face it, me thinking he's actually good is not worth believing until he does something that's actually good but...until then, he'll remain nothing short of a monster"
I didn't even know why we were having this conversation.
The is nothing between us; end of story!
"well let's not dwell on that any longer...our time together is up...next time, I shall see you in the physical"
"that's IF I escape"
"think positive Lyra, remember that"...
And then I woke up.
Today is the day...
