A/N: Sorry if this chapter sucks. But i was kinda off inspiration and the story will get better. Remember the ox is slow but the earth is patient LOl. I saw that on a movie lol. So here's the new chapter.
Enjoy.
"Mother! Mother where are you?" I shouted through the thick forest.
"Tara? Tara!"
"Momma! where are you?"
"Tara help me their coming!"
"Momma! Who's coming! Where are you!" I shouted frantically. Running toward the voice.
"Please hurry Tara! They're getting closer to me! I can hear them!"
"i'm coming momma. i'm coming hold on!"
I ran as fast as I could towards her voice.
"Help! Help they're here Tara! Where are you!"
My legs were pumping my muscles aching. I was frantically running toward my mother. The pain in my legs was becoming unbearable now. It felt like my bones were breaking trying to shift into something my body wasn't use to. I don't know how I was even still running.
My back tried arching back in pain to make me stop but I kept going determined to find my mother and save her. My fingers were breaking trying to curl into claws and my eyes were watering they burned so bad but I could see just fine with all the tears in my eyes. I could hear my mother even better now and I knew that I was getting closer to her. She was just over this boulder.
I leaped from the boulder feeling my clothes being ripped from my body and my body finally forming the shape it wanted.
A wolf.
I landed on all four seeing the figures around my mother they had their hands around her neck.
"Come to see your mother die. Dog!"
I roared at him and lunged for him but before I could get him he snapped my mother's neck and she fell limp onto the ground.
I tore the man's neck wide open and in the process tearing his head off. Getting blood all over my white fur.
Then the rest of his men came and surrounded me. I snarled at all of them wanting to kill them all but before I could make any kind of movement. A pack of wolves came and tore everyone to shreds.
When the battle was done the biggest wolf. What I assumed to be the alpha looked at me with deep longing and lust,. He walked closer to me, and when he did it seemed as though time had stopped until he was right in front of me. His black wolf's green eyes shining in the full moonlight. He shifted back to his human form I couldn't see his face when though he was right in front of me. It was as if someone blurred him out. The man held his hand out to me.
"It's alright I won't hurt you my love."
I gasped as I woke. What the hell was that dream about I'm pretty sure I'm not a werewolf. I looked around to see where I was at. I was still in Dorian's castle still laying on the same love seat I was last night. I laid back down. Instantly wincing and sitting back up.
I heard a knock at the door.
"Oh good your up." Dorian said with a smile on his face. I sighed and remembered my plan and put on the best smile I could.
"That's much better sweetie. Now breakfast will be ready in a few minutes. There's a new dress for you in the wardrobe. since your other one was ripped. And be sure to wash up before you come down. You smell of blood, and it'll disturb my men." He smiled and pointed to the wardrobe and left the bedroom.
I threw a pillow from the love seat at the door. Screaming in complete irritation and anger.
"He acts like it was my fault that i got whipped bloody! And my fault that my dress was ripped to shreds!" I slightly sobbed.
I hobbled over to the wardrobe my back stinging more than ever. I pulled out the dress and dropped it in total shock. I've never seen a dress like this before. It looked like it belonged in the roman times. It was sort of like a toga. The dress looked like it had been soaked in blood it was so red. I held the dress to my body. The hem of the dress stopped mid thigh. Then i heard a knock at the door.
"Come in." I said.
A small women about her late thirties came through the door.
"Master said i should come and help you wash up. He said that you might need help reaching your back." The small woman said with a guilty look on her face." He also said you might need help getting that dress on. It's not from this time period so it might be difficult for you."
"Are you human or vampire?" I said with a slight snarl to my voice.
She paused for a moment. As if thinking the question over before speaking.
"What are you?"
I was slightly taken a back for a second before answering. " Human."
"Good." She said in a firm voice. " I hate those nasty blood suckers and I find it difficult sometimes to obey them. It's in my nature to ring their pale skinny necks!"
"You and I both." I said with slight humor in my tone.
"What is your name dear child and how old are you?"
"My name is Tara and I'm sixteen. Seventeen this fall. What may I ask is your name?"
"My name dear Tara is Ladybird."
"Ladybird? That's a peculiar name."
"Well that's the only name i could remember. I've been here since the being of the war.The change your name when you become a slave don't get to attached to your name because soon enough they'll change it soon." She sighed.
"They took me away from my true love. We were going to get married and have beautiful children and live a happy life. But I've been here so long that i don't even think he'll remember me anymore. Or know what i even look like for the matter." She said with a tear streaming into her eye.
"Ladybird. I'm sorry but don't give up hope you'll see him soon i just know it."
"Well enough of hopeless memories. It's time to get you washed up I'm pretty sure the master won't be very happy if you are late for breakfast." She said with sadness still in her tone.
We walked to the bathroom and she sat me down on a chair next to the tub and grabbed a cloth. I removed what's left of my old dress and i heard Ladybird gasp.
"Ohh Tara." She said with the softest sympathy in her voice.
I tried my hardest to not break but for some reason i felt safe with Ladybird and i felt a tear stream down my face as she placed the cloth on my back.
I winced in agony. "How? How could somebody do this to another person. It's just horrible. You know what he told me after he was finished whipping me?"
"What did he tell you Tara?" She said while still patting the open wounds.
"When i dropped on my knees he said good you belong there." I said with a sickening distaste in my mouth. "Then he told me that my father could only handle half of what i took and that by the end of the month he'll have me bent into his perfect little slave." The bile I've been holding in almost spewed repeating his words. "Maybe I really should give up. I don't know how much more I can take." I hung my head down. "I know that makes me weak."
Ladybird turned me around and looked me in the eyes. "Tara. you are anything but weak. I know that you were not destined to be here and rot for eternity with these vampires. I know that your destined for greatness and your destined to do wondrous things. You just have to get through it. If your going to try and escape you've got to escape by winter."
"Why do I have to escape by winter?" I asked truly curious
"Because you'll die trying to make it through the harsh winter."
"Well I have to try no matter the cost I'd rather be dead than be stuck here Ladybird. You of all people should know that."
"And if they catch you?"
"Then I'll not have died for nothing. I will have died trying to escape."
"Alright it's your choice. Now lets get the dress on. As I said it's from a different time period and master Dorian said that you might need help with it. I insisted that I help you."
"Ladybird how does Dorian have dresses like these?"
"Master has been around for a very long time an I'm sure he's
kept things along the way."
Ladybird helped me slip on the dress. It fell to above my knee. It was the shortest dress I'd ever seen before. Ladybird wrapped the material around my back and clasped a black pin at the front of my right shoulder.
The blood red material hugged my body perfectly. Emphasizing my hips and my butt. It made my breasts larger if that's physically possible for a dress to do.
I told Ladybird my plan of escaping by becoming Dorian's perfect slave while she finished up the dress and pinned my hair with pins.
"It's a great plan but you don't realize how hard it's going to be. Being his slave. Obeying his every command. You might think it's going to be easy but it's not. He's going to change your name and he's going to make you think that you belong here by his side. And by the end of this month you'll want to be here by his side."
"Ohh. Well how do i stay strong against his manipulation?" I say confused as ever.
"There's two things. One don't drink the wine. It's not really wine it's blood.Two don't eat the meat. It's human. They use these things to. How you say? Seduce you into wanting to become a vampire. They think if you get the taste for human and human blood in your human state that the desire will over take you and you'll want it so badly that the first vampire that you see you'll want them to turn you so you can fully enjoy indulging in the sweet human nectar. Filthy vampires." She spat.
"Tara! Are you done yet?" I heard Dorian shout from down the stairway.
"Come Tara Master doesn't like wait. I've told you all you need to know. Now go fulfil your plan. And god bless." Ladybird said while leading me to the door.
