The Vampire's Love: You Are My Destiny

Six hours later.

The surrounding area around the foot of the mountain where the cave was located was starting to be covered with darkness.

​​

The night has descended around the mountainous area.

Everyone in the cave was getting ready for the arrival of Lord Maxius of The Black Wings Clan.

Inside the chamber of the prisoners. They were given food early for dinner.

Half an hour later.

Rebecca and Laura were already beautified and pampered to please the Lord and his trusted men. A sweet perfume was sprayed on their bodies.

They were being prepared for slaughter.

The servants attending to the women didn't give them any new clothes to wear, instead, they have to wear the same clothes when facing the Lord and his men and also wear their eye mask to give more alluring mystery to their beautiful presence, this will entice the men's imagination even more.

"Can my companion and I changed clothes?" Rebecca spoke for the first time.

Laura stared at Rebecca, stupefied.

The servants looked at each other. They shook their heads. "Sorry, Miss, we can't do that," they replied in unison.

"I deserved to serve the Lord, my companion here is very naive, she doesn't know how to place a man yet. On the other hand, between the two of us, I am more experienced when it comes to pleasing a man. You don't want to disappoint your Lord, right?" Rebecca insisted.

Laura was listening to Rebecca's blabbering the whole time. She understood that Graven's fiancee is truly afraid to face those men, compared to the Lord. Pleasing one man is not so scary at all compared to facing and being assaulted by several men all night long. She can't blame her at all. She dared not speak anymore.

The servants refused to cater to Rebecca's request.

"What's wrong with you people? Why are you afraid? The Lord didn't see our faces yet. He can't tell who is wearing a red dress and black dress until she sees us. All I'm asking is a simple thing!" Rebecca glared at the servants.

The servants shook their heads, refusing to obey the prisoner's demands.

One of the guards approached them to ask what the commotion is all about.

"What's going on here?" the guard asked.

The servant pointed her finger at Rebecca. "This woman here demanded to swap dress with her companion. She wants to wear the red dress and serve our Lord," she replied.

"No, we can't allow your request!" The guard shook his head. He looked at the servants. "If you are done preparing the girls, you may leave now," he ordered.

The servants left the chamber.

The guard went back to his post.

Rebecca no longer speak.

Laura kept to herself. At this point, she doesn't know anymore what to say to Rebecca.

The girl seemed to ignore her, and she doesn't know if any words can comfort Rebecca now. Because she was already trembling in fear due to their impending doom.

When she thought that Rebecca was already done...

"Stupid servants! Stupid guards!" Rebecca said aloud.

The guards heard Rebecca, they looked at her.

One of the guards approached Rebecca. "Say it again!" he demanded. "Whom did you call stupid?" he asked angrily.

Rebecca looked at him bravely in the face. "You!" she said.

The guard was about to slap Rebecca but the other guard intervened on time.

"Leave the girls alone!" said the second guard. "Don't let your temper get the better of you. You don't want to leave an imprint of your fingers on the woman's face, do you? You will disfigure her face, if the Lord will know about it, he will punish us severely!" he reminded him.

The guard was able to control his anger and left Rebecca's side.

Laura was speechless while staring at Rebecca. "A-are you alright?" she asked. She finally managed to ask her after all this time, they have the same terrifying flight after all.

Rebecca looked at her and smiled. "Are you afraid?"

Laura nodded her head, fresh tears sprang from her eyes. "Yes, very much! Are we going to die here tonight, am I right?" she asked, her mouth quivering.

Rebecca sighed. "Do you have an escape plan?"

Laura shook her head. "Honestly...I don't have," she replied, fears leaping from her eyes.

Rebecca was silent for a moment. "Don't worry, stay strong. We'll get out of here alive, soon!" she said, as determination shone in her eyes.

"B-but how?" Laura asked.

"Just leave it to me," Rebecca said softly and closed her eyes.

Rebecca no longer speaks, so Laura has to keep to herself as well. She was wondering how they will get out of this cave alive, unless, there's a rescue! She was sure that her father-in-law, Cooper, and Graven were already organizing a search party to find them.

But how can they be rescued if the people have no idea where is this place. Based on her understanding, this cave is located in a faraway place, far from South Pond town.

Before the rescue arrives, she and Rebecca will be dead if not, totally damaged both in terms of physical and mental aspects. The horror of different men touching and using her body repulsed her. She would rather die!

She has to make her plan of escape as well!

No, she can't die here!

She can't die tonight!

No matter what, she must survive!

A new surge of strength filled her senses. She closed her eyes just like Rebecca and forced her mind to think of a good plan.

The two guards glanced at the women closing their eyes while sitting upright in the wooden bed.

One hour passed.

Several carriages arrived at the foot of the mountain that was heavily guarded by men wearing a silver cloak.

Lord Maxius of the Black Wings Clan and his trusted men about thirty of them emerged from their carriages to enjoy the women tonight.

They entered the mouth of the cave and disappeared inside.

~

Back in the chamber.

Six guards entered the chamber where the women prisoner was being held.

"The Lord has arrived!" the leader of the guards announced.

Rebecca opened her eyes and glanced at the lantern hanging on the ceiling of the cave.

Suddenly...the lantern went dead...the whole chamber was plunged in pitch-black darkness.

"What's going on?" one of the guards said.

"Get another lantern, quick! The Lord and his trusted men already arrived, they need entertainment soon!" one of the guards said.

~

The Lord and his men were being led to the chamber with a clearing and high ceiling. There were tables laden with food and wine. They settled in the chair and began their feast.

A few minutes later.

The ferocious-looking Lord Maxius looked at one of the servants serving nearby. "Where are the women?" he asked.

"They will be here in a moment, My Lord!" replied the servant while bowing his head.

Lord Maxius drinks his wine bottoms up, grinning while watching his trusted men having fun with the endless drinks and food.

~

Back in the chamber.

Five minutes later, the guards were able to secure two lanterns and put them in the chamber. The light finally flooded the entire area.

The guards were shocked to see the woman in the black gown was already lying in the bed, looking pale and sickly, and worst unconscious!

"What's going on here? Why this woman passed out when we needed her the most!" one of the guards asked worriedly.

"There's no more time left, we have to get one of the women up there, the Lord will get mad with the delay!" the leader of the guards said. "And the rest of you - get the women servants here and order them to revive the unconscious girl quick!"

The guards took out the chain from Laura's neck and ushered her outside the chamber.

A few minutes later.

The guards and Laura entered the chamber filled with noisy men drinking liquor, engrossed in the merrymaking.

"My Lord, here is your woman!" the leader of the guards announced loudly.

Lord Maxius looked at the woman's body up and down and grinned appreciatively at her captivating womanly curves, excited to gobble up his new woman before the night is over. "My dear, can you give us a beautiful dance, please..." he requested.

A group of men in the corner holding tambourine and flute in their hands provided the background music.

Laura stood in the center of the circle for a few seconds...

Then before the crowd gets bored... she started swaying her hips and hands and performed a sensuous dance, she made sure that her moves synchronized well with the music, to the delight of everyone in the chamber.

The men enjoyed her dancing, especially Lord Maxius.
