The next morning Puriel woke up with a start. She sat silently until she heard the noise that awoke her again. There it was. A sharp raping at the front door. Puriels face went paler than usual. Surely it wasn’t Adrien…Was it?
Slowly she made her way to the door. Upon opening it she realized who it was. It was one of Adrien’s little vampyre slaves, Sean. “what do you want?”, she growled at the weakling. He stammered , “Adrien wishes to see you. I am here to tell you where to go”.
She growled once more at Sean and smiled as he slowly backed away from her. He knew better than to stand firm when an older vampyre showed disgust in him. It wasn’t very inteligent to attempt to fight. There wasn’t much of a chance he would win.
She yawned. “Well, where is he?” Cautiously he handed her a small piece of paper, then stepped back once more.” I shall take my leave now. Goodbye Lady puriel.”
She snorted at him as he bowed to her and walked away.
Once back inside she unfolded the paper and began to read :
My dearest Puriel. It’s been too long. I miss you. Please come visit me. You know you miss me. Well, even if you don’t i insist you visit. I trust you will do the best thing and follow the directions inclosed in this letter. Thankyou.
Forever Yours,
Adrien
She sighed, layed the letter down on her dresser and stared into the mirror. Her thoughts once again roamed back to her first meeting of Adrien.
~She woke up laying in her own bed. Not a soul in sight. She slowly remembered the night before. The stranger sitting in her room, the rose, her mother. She raced down the hall into her mothers room. She was gone. Her blood still stained the comforter on her bed. The sight caused her to be sick right on the floor.
Regaining her thoughts she checked the rest of the house. Still no sign of her brother, but on her dresser she found a note written in elegant writing.
Darling Puriel, i shall see you tonight. Don’t try to run for i shall find you. As i said before i am not here to harm you. I enjoy your presence and so i am keeping you with me. You will understand better when I see you. Until then take care.
Yours truly,
Adrien
Adrien? That was his name? But who was he, and what did he mean by enjoying her presence? She had never seen him before in her life. What did he want form her?
Sobbing silently, she fell asleep again.~
“Dear Adrien. I swore 50 years ago i would never see you again unless it was to destroy you. Why now? What do you want this time?” Staring at her reflection she wiped the tear from her eye. Taking a deep breath she brushed the hair from in front of her face and tucked it behind her ears. It was still early in the night and she decided she would get this over with now.
Picking up the paper and the rose from her dresser she silently made her way out of the hosue and into the woods to find her dear Adrien. Tonight it would end. She promised herself she would end it tonight or die trying.
The latter seemed more logical but she was determened, and no one got in Puriels way when she was determened. Not even Adrien…..
TO BE CONTINUED……..
i like even more! It’s getting good now.
