Chapter Twelve
/De Martel's Castle/Middle Spring/1002/
#Henrik POV#
It's been few weeks now since we came to the de Martel court, and fortunately for us, we have assimilated well into their lifestyle. My siblings as nobles, and me....as a servant. But I'll survive.
Anyways, the meals they prepare here looks delicious, it is tasteful but still we have adapted more into our diet of blood.
My siblings in particular though, as for me, though I would get hungry for it, I wouldn't loss my mind. I, because of my phantom side, am able to endure and abstain from blood longer than my siblings can as well as control my bloodlust, even if I see someone with a huge wound that spills his guts out, I am able to control myself.
How I found out, you may ask?
Well, there was a time when my noble brothers, Klaus and Kol decided to take a stroll around the land and I, being their servant was assigned to follow. More like, monitor by Finn's orders. So we embarked on the journey far from the count's castle and ventured deep into the lands.
During our journey, we crossed paths with some villagers and it appeared that Klaus wanted to have some 'hunt'. Kol loved the idea and before I could object, they had sped off towards the villagers, now victims.
Upon arrival to catch up to them, it was a bloody mess, and one of them still breathing but choking on his own blood tried crying for help..
My hunger came seeing everything but then I found out that I could control myself from the sight and smell of blood. So, although blood was still enticing and more tasteful to me, I would not go mad for lack of it. Besides I began hating the lack of decency of how my brothers killed their victims. They were innocent, they deserved a better death than this brutality. Seems like Klaus and Kol had always being hiding a side no one knew. And our awakening just gave them an opportunity.
Anyways, here I am, standing beside Rebekah, who is having 'tea' with one of the siblings of De Martel, Aurora.
I noticed she had been giving me glances once in a while as she entertained my sister. I know Rebekah noticed, with the glint in her eyes, I can tell she has a plan, only waiting for Aurora to fall into the trap.
"So, lady Rebekah, do you like your stay here?"
"Very well, it's been a pleasant stay here with the count and you all. Especially the way you keep me company. If not I would have been troubled being alone in boredom"
"I doubt that, seeing you have a possibly good source of entertainment with you right now"
Aurora beliefs she as stated a fact as she stares at me....she has fallen into the trap.
"Oh really, you noticed...hehehe...it's true, he can be entertaining...in many ways than one.. after all that's his duty...to serve...one time..."
I just lost interest in their discussion when I realized Rebekah was about to spout nonsense, seriously how do they not feel shame talking about me as a sex tool while I'm standing here.
"You know, lady Aurora, you look quite tired, you must have been stressed out during the week lately. Henrik here is very good at relieving tensed muscles. I can order him to come help you out after supper if you do mind"
"Uh..ooHh...that would be delightful. You... you're right. I have been really burdened with stress for a while...I would be waiting for you Henrik, please be sure to come over after tending to your masters." I only gave a nod as a reply.
Nobles are really intriguing and disgusting, seeing their fellow as nothing more than a tool for their satisfactory desires. Lucien was really correct about how nobles where. All through the time they discussed, Aurora always gave me a lustful look nothing more. I do not blame her though, since we became what we are, we became more beautiful.
In the evening that same day, after supper, I was with Rebekah in her room as she was still trying to show me reasons to just play along.
One of her reasons was that I could consider it a payment for acting as a servant towards them. Well, seems like we aren't different from these nobles, seeing humans as a commodity now.
I swear it's like becoming a vampire has made us change our perspective of life and humans. Was this how the wolves saw us whenever they were with us?.
Well, I wonder what it would be like going at it as me being a supernatural now.
I made my way towards the chamber of Aurora, through the description that was given and after a few turns and many stairs, I finally found her room. I gave a knock
*Knock*knock*knock*
"Yes, who is it?"
"It's me, Henrik, lady Rebekah sent me for your treatment"
"...."
I could hear some scrambling and ruffling here and there and few moments later, I hear the locks of the door turning, bringing about the door opening and..
"Oh, Henrik, it's good to see you. Rebekah didn't forget her promise now. Come in"
I can say from my good observation that the lady was beautiful. The clothes she wore right now was revealing enough to expose her streamlined figure, her ample breast with the nipples already hardened through the fabric. When she turned away for me to lock the door, I got a better view of her buttocks and I assure you, they were impressive.
I moved towards her bed as she was there. It appeared she was a little nervous, or was it excitement. I do not know.
I got towards her and....
------------------------------------
It was almost dawn, and I have been servicing Aurora all through the night without rest. And surprisingly enough, I enjoyed it. She was a wild one on bed, that woman. But I had to let her know I could be wilder, it would have been an insult to my nigh-infinite stamina if she could keep up. But I had to still act that I was tired after a while.
We rested for a long while until she riled me again with her buttocks rubbing on my c**k and I obviously knew what to do and continued my duty as a loyal servant willing to serve.
I got up all dressed and saw she was far spent so I allowed her to rest. With a few spells to invigorate her so she could be less sore and more energetic when she woke up, I left her and with few more silence spell I opened the door and walked to my room.
It's seems like Rebekah was awake, as she opened the door and abruptly dragged me in. It seems she is eager to know the outcome. Like hell I would tell her, I'm too tired to do anything, even if I can change that with a spell or potions, not worth it. I'll just lay on the bed and relax while I continue my studies on runes.
"So... How did it go? Did she like you?"
"Good"
"Ok....was she bad or what? Did you two do it all night?
"Yes" it's seems I have begun to irritate her with my reply as she has a furrowed brow on her face. I didn't care.
"Yes she was bad or yes you did it all night?" She repeated this time but I just stared back at her not saying a word but she was not giving in.
"Are you angry about the set up? Come on, Henrik, I apologized earlier besides you can't tell me you didn't like now"
"I did and I'm not going to tell you any more than that. I feel a little tired, I need the rest before I continue my days job as I servant. So, Rebekah, good night" I was already at the door before I bid her a good night rest.
As I was closing the door behind me when I heard remark.
"So you did enjoy yourself, you should be thankful baby brother"
Tsk, she knows I hate it when she calls me that. I'll get her back.
------------------------------------
For a while, Aurora and I had some little night exercise. Nothing too serious at least until she realized sleeping with a servant is beneath her.
Then I noticed her with Elijah and Klaus. Are women so scarce that this boys always find themselves fall for one woman , first it was Tatia, now they seem to feel attracted to Aurora.
They met me when they found out I was sleeping with her and I gladly gave them my blessings as long as they could have her far from me.
She was beautiful but she wasn't worth fighting over. Besides if she wanted to choose between us, it'll definitely be her class over some 'servant'.
Our days like this went on, another celebration happened, nothing too serious. But I did find out that Lucien and Klaus were very close over the cause of staying here. I see them discussing, no need to eavesdrop on them, it's a bother to me.
After the ceremony, I went back to the room to test out my research on space rune magic. I had told my sister to order some ingredients and tools as well as some leather wrist bands and beads and few pouches. I wanted to test spacial dimensions as well as spacial expansion. I am not good yet, but I doubt I wouldn't be able to expand the space on the pouches as well as create a spacial dimension. It would not be big for now but it would be small it is why I needed everything to test and create.
Few hours into the night, I was able to expand the space in six of the pouches, one of them was a cubic meter large, another was double of that, then the other double of that until the last was a combined size of the others, that's how much I progressed with my understanding. As for space creation, it was hard i could only make a space dimension of half a cubic meter without it collapsing on itself, three wrist bands and seven beads suffered for that. Metal seems to hold space better than beads so I decided to modify my wristbands to mix up with the silver beads I transmuted and made two pairs of black and silver wrists bands that where not that big but just enough to cover my wrists.
I made the silver beads to hold half cubic each, I decided to work on my ring too.
After studying it, I knew how my mother made the daylight rings. I loved my ring because it held a sentimental value for me so I wasn't going to throw it away after finding out I could walk in the sun without burning.
Yes, after the day I wore it when I tested it, I pulled it off cause I was curious how it was to be burnt by the sun, but I realized that I had underestimated my tribrid's capabilities. I felt foolish but I couldn't throw away the ring.
So now I'm using it as a spacial ring, with the size of sixteen cubic meters. After that, I wore the wrists bands on both my wrists, they were beautiful especially with the silver ink used to inscribe runic symbols on them for light weight, highest durability and invulnerability to elements and wear and tear. Well, I don't mind staying with them for a while till I am better enough to create something more beautiful.
The ring in it's emerald color had a little golden reflection from it inscriptions I etched on it, giving it much more elegant beauty, well, it might look too beautiful for a servant to wear but who cares.
Soon after, I used a little bit of magic and my thought command to make my belongings such as all my books, tools, and potions and ingredients and a few emergency clothes after fixing them in my expanded pouches, to enter into my spacial bands. Because of my pouches, there was still enough space to take more things. That's for the future.
I stared out the window and saw the sun was already coming out. Guess I'll just get cleaned up and get ready for my duty.
------------------------------------
A week had gone by since I had made my spacial bands and ring. Oh, by the way, Rebekah saw my bands and was enamored by it and begged me to make her one and after a lot of pestering and begging, I made her a beautiful wrist silver band etched with runes for light weight, durability and magical protection. I embedded a little bit of defensive spells on them, I can't let any witch or supernatural attack her now. It will only defend with her intent to save her life. If she doesn't see it that her life is in danger then it won't react.
I gave her a pouch also as well as my brothers that they could use. They were all intrigued, especially Finn, and the best thing about rune magic is that any supernatural can learn it and use it as long as you can passively attract the magic in the air for it to work. My own, I made it active for when it came to the spacial runes and passive when it came to the others. And so I gladly told Finn that I would teach him, I really felt accomplished with the look he had on his face.
Hope.
He finally felt hope after all that has happened, and it seemed he believes me now when I made the promise before. Some runes he might not be able to use cause they required activating it with summoned magic. I realized that, as Vampires made by magic, we had a little bit of magic absolved by us but they couldn't control it because they where no longer able to sense it like witches do. No wonder I had this feeling of steadily growing stronger and it seems that because we are originals we absolve better. I wonder if we can make people like us and if they too would be able to absolve magic passively like us.
Another issue arose, it seems that Lucien desires to be like us. If only he knew, well he did, but he hasn't experienced it. He came to meet me on one occasion to beg me to turn him. I do not know how to turn anyone yet, and for the fact that I am not only a vampire could be risky even if I knew, so I rejected him. But he didn't give up and that was his own concern. Not mine.
Another week passed, and it seemed Lucien was just destined to have bad luck. First, he found out that the woman he loved, unsurprisingly Aurora, since in fact she is the only beautiful lady around here. Although I have had to taste a few female servants, they were quite energetic, I took a swig or two from their necks during our intercourse and healed them in the morning, they would look pale and weak, thinking it was the nights activity, well I wasn't going to tell them otherwise, but for the fact they gave me their blood, I helped them make an ordinary concoction with normal herbs but with potency enough to boost their blood recovery as well as their health. And when they looked better and more healthy, I slept with them again as well as drink a little blood, so with that they just concluded it was sex that drained them without any suspicion and it seems they became addicted to me for that reason....weird.
Anyways back to the issue, so Lucien found out Aurora was sleeping with Klaus and Tristan, who from my point of view feels perverted in many ways I dare not find out, giving the looks of lust he gives to his sister, not my business though, caught Lucien snooping around Aurora's room and arrested him and tortured him continuously.
What a sadistic animal. He found joy just hearing Lucien scream. I felt pity for Lucien since I was there to assist the sadist.
You must have noticed that I'm everywhere now, well what can I say, I do my job well to serve.
Klaus and Elijah found out and visited him. Well he was furious as I saw him stabbing Klaus continuously not even minding the blood splashed onto his face and mouth. It is disturbing how all this doesn't disgusting me anymore.
But something caught us unaware, the blood of Klaus which he swallowed from the continuous brutality, was healing him. Every injury on his body was closing up visibly to the naked eyes. Our abilities just keeps adding up.
After releasing his pent up angered from Klaus, who I was surprised was sincere in his apology that he never raised a finger against Lucien
"I hate you so much!..I TRUSTED YOU!!!.. I CONFIDED IN YOU!!!...who would have known you were fucking her while deceiving with me saying she rejected me. You could have told me from the beginning" Lucien spat out still with hate
"I am sorry, I just feared how you might take it if I had told you then. On the good side, we started our affair before you told me, so it wasn't that I stole her from you. She was already mine..." Klaus being klaus
"You bastard!!"
"I regret not telling you about it but I do not regret the love I have for her. I never knew it would get to this level, I promise to speak to Tristan to let you go. I swear" Klaus promises
"Keep your promise to yourself!.."
Elijah who has been quiet like me finally stated "it's time to go Klaus, you have seen him, we can deal with this later with Tristan"
I agreed with him, it's better to confront Tristan outside of this prison and so we left.
Maybe, we should have waited for Tristan there, because after we left to look for him we found out we missed him going towards the dungeon. We decided to go back and meet him.
But it was already late, Lucien was not in the prison and I had a foreboding that that wasn't a good sign especially with a person like Tristan, on our way out we saw one of the guards and asked, he gave us direction. And when we got there, again we were too late. Lucien was dead. His luck was just that horrible.
Stayed there for a while and after Tristan left, Klaus decided to honor Lucien and give him a Norse kind of burial.
All preparations complete, Klaus was about to lit up the body of Lucien when suddenly we heard a gasping sound.
Lucien came back to life.
How? We did not know, with my thoughts rushing I think I could make a guess, but it wasn't time for that.
Seems we have found a way to sire other Vampires.
