The Vampire King's Captive
Maria, a powerful sorceress, lives a life of forced brutality under the tyrannical Ariti, constantly battling her conscience as she carries out his cruel commands. Her world is a gilded cage, where every act of violence chips away at her soul. But when a mysterious, impossibly handsome stranger bursts into the court, his arrival shatters Maria's fragile existence and pulls her into a dark, captivating game where her true identity, deepest secrets, and very survival hang in the balance. Will she find freedom, or fall further into captivity?The air in the courtroom was thick with the stench of fear and the unspoken promise of death. Maria stood, a silent, imposing figure in her crimson glamour, her hands hanging by her sides, ever ready to fulfill Ariti's cruelest whims.
Today's victim was a teenage girl, shackled on the floor, her defiance a flickering flame against the cold malice of their captor. Maria felt the familiar sickness churn in her stomach. She knew the girl's pain, the terror that preceded the final, irreversible command. Her own hands, instruments of so much suffering, trembled almost imperceptibly beneath the illusion of her glamour.
"Where is your father?" Ariti's voice, calm and deceptively patient, sliced through the heavy silence for the fourth time. The girl remained silent, her eyes, though watering, held a stubborn refusal.
Maria knew what came next. She felt Ariti's telepathic command, a cold whisper in her mind: 'Cut off her air supply.' With a practiced, agonizing slowness, Maria lifted her hand, her fingers closing, not quite fully, but enough to simulate the chokehold, enough to watch the girl writhe in silent agony.
Then, just as the girl's eyes widened in desperation, just as Maria's own heart screamed in silent protest, Ariti's voice echoed in her mind: 'Stop.' A wave of perverse relief washed over her as she dropped her hand, watching the girl gasp for air, her gaze briefly flitting to Maria, pleading and accusing.
"Kill her." The words, crisp and clear, were a death knell. Maria's breath hitched. She couldn't. She wouldn't. But she had no choice. As she fumbled with her cloak, desperately stalling, a sudden, earth-shattering crash ripped through the courtroom, shaking the very foundations of the palace. All hell broke loose.
