Aftermath

~23 September 2006~

As I open my eyes, I look at Mordred's sleeping face and smile a little. After rescuing the victim from that hell hole, I keep thinking about their haunted face of the said victim that has been tortured by them. However, I was able to put it away when Mordred came to my room and 'commanded' me to cuddle with her.

That night Mordred tries to appear brave and seductive, but it ends up like a kitten mewling. However, after the first awkward first minutes, she became her usual self. Wild, Bold, and Loud. Mordred is the type of woman that wants to start slow and gradually get rougher. She is the type of woman that didn't want to have an Oral play for too long, as she wanted to go to the action immediately. Unlike Carol, who likes being dominated, Mordred is like a power play when we have intercourse. I need to show her my dominance before I can lead the pace.

I sigh a little after I snap from the happy memory. Slowly I get out of the bed without waking up—Mordred from her sleep. Silently I walk away from my room and go to the kitchen, and when I arrive in the kitchen, I see all my guardians already sitting on the chair.

"Good Morning."

"Morning, Master"

"Good Morning, My Lord"

"Morning, Lexian"

I nod at them and look for Valerie but cannot find her.

"Are Valerie still sleeping?"

"Yes, Master. I let her continue to sleep because she pushed herself a bit too much yesterday."

Oh yeah, Valerie decided to train herself with her guardian. When I heard her reasoning, I couldn't help but smile at her determination. As her brother, I didn't want her to fight, but I know that someday she needs to fight either to protect herself or her family. The only thing I can do for her does my best to protect her and support her as much as I can.

"I see. Let her sleep for another hour. I don't want her to miss breakfast."

"Of course, Master."

I then start to eat the food in front of me.

"Amelia, how is your patient doing?"

"Hmmm. They should wake up right about now. With the help of a Sun Flame user, I was able to accelerate the blood production in their body. However, when they wake up, they need to eat and drink a high amount of food and water before they can walk normally."

"That is good. I want to visit them after this, do you guys want to come with me?"

"Of course, Lexian. It is my duty to take care of my patient."

"Yes, Master"

"I'm sorry, My Lord, but I need to see something in our southern area."

"Oh? Is there anything important? Is it an enemy attack?"

"Nothing like that, My Lord. There is a pack of Trolls coming toward our land. Some hunters also say that the Trolls also leave a trail of blood along their way. They also say that it was human and animal blood mixed."

"So, Extermination mission?"

"Yes. While I did not participate in this mission, I need to supervise the recruit. They will be the one that fights them as this is a good experience for them."

"I see. Then I will leave it to you."

"Of course. My Lord"

I continue to eat my food while having a pleasant conversation with my guardian. After eating our food, we immediately walk toward the hospital and see the condition of the vampire victim. As we arrive at the hospital, I see not too many people walking around.

"Ah! Lord Lexian, Lady Amelia, Lady Medea. What can I do for you?"

"We are here to see our special guest."

"Ah! They already woke up not too long ago. Currently, some of them are eating some food and drinking a potion we provide them with."

"I see, that is good. Can you lead us to them?"

"Of course, My Lord."

The nurse then led us to the room where the people we rescued are located.

~Carla Cino POV~

Warm.

That is the feeling I have right now. It has been a long time since I feel warm. How long has it been since I got kidnapped by that vampire? Three months? Five months? I remember how I lived in constant pain, how they used me for their breeding woman. How they continue to drink my blood and how they continue to torture me for not bearing their children.

Day by day, I continue to endure their torture. I continue to endure the pain as they continue to rape me. I continue to survive and endure in hoping that someday a miracle will happen. However, as the time goes, that said Miracle never happened. I continued to be tortured by them, continue to be raped by them, and I continue enduring all the pain.

One day, one of the vampires came to my cage and said that I would go with them as a pleasure slave on their journey. They brag about how they will have a feast and how they will kill the 'impure blood' from their land. They brag about how they will finally kill me when they obtain a new woman they can use for breeding stock.

After hearing them say that, I have a dark hope in my chest. Finally, my freedom has appeared even in the form of cold death embrace. Yet, I can be free from this torture, Free from this constant pain, Free from this hellhole.

Each day, I continue to live and wait for my freedom. I continue to see the others get tortured by them. I'm not surprised anymore when I see them bring back a group of children into their dungeons. I even envy them as they are only used for a short amount of time before being killed by them. At first, I was shocked to see how they kidnapped a group of children and 'played' with them, how they said that children have a different taste than the other. They are especially fond of magician children, saying how their blood has a different taste than the other children as it is full of flavor.

However, my freedom comes with a different outcome, far different from what I've been thinking.

One night, I hear a sound of fighting outside. I don't know who has a death wish to attack a group of vampires in their base, especially one of the Royal blood inside the base. The only thing I can do is hope they have a quick death.

To my surprise, the fight continued to rage on.

How? I see how many undead they bring in this campaign. I also know that the members of the Tepes clan are strong individuals. So sooner than later, the attacker will be dead.

However, instead of hearing the attacker beg for mercy, I hear a familiar voice begging for mercy or how they will not attack them.

A newfound hope blossoms from my heart as I see the door to our prison open up and coming from the said door is a young man around 20 to 25 years old. At first, I thought he was one of the vampires, but I discarded him when the man came to my cage and destroyed the lock and began to pick me from the cell.

On the way to the surface, the man keeps reassuring me that he will heal me from all my injuries and rescue the other people that are in the dungeon. For a few minutes, he used some magic to heal me.

For the first time, a miracle came to me. For the first time in a long time, I can have my freedom back, and it felt nice.

The man that rescued me gave me a warm feeling that reassured me that I have my freedom back. He gives me a feeling that I will never feel pain again. I feel safe.

That day, I slept, knowing that I will be free.

So when I wake up, I immediately look around, and when I see that I'm not inside a cage, I know that it was not a dream.

Seeing I'm waking up, the nearby nurse begins to ask me if I have some pain in my body, and after saying that I feel fine and healthy, they walk away and come back a massive amount of food.

Seeing the food coming, I begin to eat it without thinking about my image. It has been a long time since I tasted a proper food. The vampire only gives me a potion that will keep me alive and my body to produce more blood for them to enjoy.

I don't know how long I have been eating, but after I finished eating all the food, I'm content with my life. Now the only thing I want to do is to pay this debt to my savior.

I snap from my thoughts when I see a familiar person walk inside the room. It was my savior.

"Ahhh, Hello. It's good seeing you wake up and healthy. Let me introduce myself. My name is Lexian Vongola. It is nice to meet you."

Ahhhh~

That smile~ That aura~ It makes me want to protect it. Yes… I will pay my debt by protecting that warm smile of his.

Lexian Vongola.

I will protect you with my life. I will become stronger and stronger so I will be useful to you. I will kill anyone that dares to defy you.

Yes! Because you are a god. You are not the god that ignores me when I get tortured. You are the person that rescued me. You are the warmth that I hope to feel once again. Even if you are seen as an average human by the other, I will always see you as my god, as you are the one that answers all my prayers.

Oh Lord Lexian~ I will give my life to you.
