Yume's Hardship

After Sedric left, I was back to being alone. *why would Sedric tell me to do that? I can't talk to that monster* I sighed in frustration, running my hand through my hair.

I can't seem to figure out what to do. I need to leave and go back home. The only thing is would they let me? I am just trapped here forever. Finally, Sedric comes back in to check on my medicine.

'Are you still in pain, my lady' he asked, making sure the IV was still dripping with a quick tap of his finger to release the bubbles.

'No, I'm fine, Sedric'; may I ask a question'' I said, looking down at my hands, trying to find the words.

'Yes?' he replied, turning his head to look at me.

''I want to go home; when will I be able to leave'' I said nervously, picking at my fingernails.

'My lady is that was your desire,' Sedric said, looking worried for my answer.

''Yes, I would like to leave as soon as possible,'' I said, gently looking up at him and seeing if there was any reaction to my answer.

'I will mention it to the master; right now, you are to heal and get better; you been through a great deal,' he replied with a smile.

''Then may I have a phone so I can call my dad'' I asked but saw a concerned expression on his face like there was something wrong with my request.

'I will bring it right away,' he said as he turned away to leave.

* I need to call someone; they might not let me leave, but if I get ahead of them, maybe I will get help* I thought as the door opened again to Sedric walking in with an old black rotary phone that looked like a candlestick.

I picked up the receiver and dialed the only person I had left in my life after my only friends left the country. I was turning the old dial to the last number and waiting to ring in my ear.

'Hello, Silver residence, Maverick speaking,' the man on the other phone said, waiting on a response. I was hesitant for a moment feeling my heartache at the sound of his voice.

''D...Dad, it's Yume. I need your help,'' I finally said, holding back my tears as I looked around to see if anyone was in the room. Unfortunately, *it seems like Sedric left me some privacy.

'Yume? What have you done now, you cursed child?' he said with a sick twisted voice. My heart sunk, and my stomach made knots.

''Dad, I was captured, and they almost killed me; they tortured me; please help me,'' I said; tears were falling from my eyes, blurred my vision.

'Ha, they should have finished you off; then I would be a sense of peace without you calling me; I don't have a daughter anymore. You have caused so much pain to this family and I'm glad you're finally getting what is coming to you.' he hissed out as he hung up the phone before i could even say anything else.

Shocked with the receiver still on my ear, I was frozen, unable to move even breath, knowing my father wouldn't help me.

I knew it was a big if, but i always believed that he still loved me in his own way. He may have been cruel, but he was still my father all these years; it seems like he doesn't care what happens to me even now.

I set the receiver down and sank back under the covers letting my cries out, my body shaking uncontrollably. I didn't care anymore; why hide my fears? Why hold back my tears when I know my fate is to die here alone.

(knock.... knock)

I kept my head under the covers crying my eyes out when i heard the door open.

'Kali... are you ok, my love' the man said as he reached for the covers; he paused when he saw the covers shaking.

'Kali... please, I would never harm you,' he said in a gentle voice; I finally calmed down just enough as I slowly uncovered my head.

* I probably look disgusting, but I don't care if he wants to eat me fine, then I'm not going to give him a clean dish* saying that in my head made me sick knowing that I would be a dish regardless of the taste.

'Kali? are you alright why are you crying?' he said, looking concerned.

''I'm not Kali... why won't people understand I'm not her'' I spouted angrily.

'Not Kali... you think I'm blind. Are you playing a trick on me?' he replied with a smile on his face.

''I don't even know who you are or where I'm at; how can you say I'm playing games; my name is Yume I'm 19 please can someone believe me, please,'' I said covering my eyes to hold back my tears.

'I never said I didnt believe you, Yume; I know who you are; you are the reincarnation of Kali, and the resemblance is uncanny' he said with a kind smile that grew bigger and bigger.

''What you knew, and yet you keep calling me Kali... why?'' I said, my anger was starting to grow.

'Because my love; no matter how many lifetimes you have you will always be my Kali; you will always be my love' his gentle words warmed my heart feeling my heart beat just a little faster.

he smiled closing his eyes and taking a deep breath; *what is he doing?* i lost my train of thought as he leans in opening his red eyes glowing brighter as he takes a big inhale.

''I know the pain Kali went through, and I'm sorry she went through so much'' I finally breathed out; tears stung my eyes, and my mouth went dry.

'I know Kali fought hard and she was brave but in the end... my love lost her life' he said his voice breaking.

'You know Kali... err i mean Yume you smell has never changed it's still the sweetest smell' he said before I push him away as my cheeks grew hot.

'My name is Emrys i am the master of this mansion and the prince of vampires; i have searched so long for you, Yume i knew one day Kali would return' he said with a soft smile that seemed like it was painful to do just that.

''the prince of vampires!'' i said my body shaking just the thought of him being so powerful and to know i could never escape.

* I was listening to Sedric to get to know him not to find out that there is no hope for me*

my mind is racing, and my body cant stop shaking, closing my eyes to hide my fear string inside me, trying hard not to give him anything to use against me. My eyes shot open when i felt Emrys pick me up putting me to his chest.

'Yume, please calm yourself there is nothing to fear of me; I may be a vampire, but my heart can only beat for you you are my light Yume' he said with such gentle words as he nuzzled his nose in my neck.

My face felt like it was on fire from all the blushing, but before i could even react, a burning feeling priced my neck; my eyes followed from where the pain was coming from.

*He is bitting me but...* I thought, but my mind went all fuzzy as my body felt weak but felt good like my body was craving. I felt my body heating up so fast I let out a moan. I couldn't hold back; this feeling just overpowered me.

''mmm... ahh...'' my body shivered with the anticipation for more I don't know whats came over me, but I needed more.
