Thread: Abducted.

Vincent walked up the stairs slowly, his intent wasn't to try to eavesdrop on Lucius and Lithium's conversation at hand, he walked slowly because of the glass of water. Vincent wasn't careless and dropped things easily, he's just been in this house long enough to know that if you walk with something up the stairs that there is a high chance to have it knocked from your hands. So, walking carefully and keeping your eyes opened seemed to pay off the best. Reaching the top of the stairs, Vincent let out a minor sigh of relief, he was glad no vampire came rushing around the corner and either, knocked him down the stairs with the glass or knocked the glass from his hands. Before wasting too long standing at the top of the staircase, Vincent began to walk normally through the halls. Taking a few turns here and there to prolong him actually getting to Lucius' room just incase they were still in conversation. Moving to the door, the male heard some shuffling like Lucius had been waiting for him to come in minutes ago. Pushing the door openly slowly, the male slipped in... instantly feeling that something had been said and the female wasn't taking well to it. Your drink, milord. Vincent spoke softly, handing the glass over to the male. Lucius nodded in reply, Vincent felt that it was out of place for him to ask what exactly went on while he was gone. I suspect foul play. Lucius spoke, breaking a silence that seemed to linger over the room. Foul play? Foul play for what? Vincent asked himself, cocking a brow before his head turned to the elder. Lucius shook his head at the male. What exactly was he shaking his head for? May I ask... No, you may not. Lucius spoke, cutting off the male before he could finish what he was saying. Lord Snctus was found dead sometime today. Lucius spoke, Vincent followed his eyes to look toward the female who had seemingly paced back and forth in the room. Easily could tell that she was on the verge of tears, You are to take Lithium back to the House of Kalion tonight. You shall not stop til you get there, no matter what attempts to stop you on the road. Brother or opposing clan. You are to kill them if they demand you to stop. Lucius spoke in more of a demanding tone then he had before, Yes, milord. I shall not stop nor let anything that attempts to stop me live. Vincent watched Lucius stand up, slowly moving to the girl to place his hand on her shoulder once before pushing her slowly toward Vincent. Time for you two to get ready for your journey... Lucius spoke softly, his voice growing low. I need you for a moment, Vincent. Lucius called once before they made it to the door, Vincent had led his hand to her shoulder, giving her a slight rub. I'll be right back. He whispered before pushing her out the door softly, closing it so she couldn't hear what went on in the room. Vincent, you do know you will not becoming back right? He asked, Vincent nodded. I know what will happen, sire. I will be taken prisoner and be dealt with accordingly. Price someone must pay for taking the princess. Vincent answer, giving his master as he stood up tall. We will find out who's done this, Vincent. Your time in there will be short, I promise. Vincent shook his head slightly, T here is no reason to lie to me, Lucius. More then likely I will be tortured days on end until I'm left to hang there til I die. Lucius grew quiet because he knew all to well that that was to happen to this male. Nodding his head softly, We will meet again, milord. Though, it will be on the other side. Giving him a smile before turning to face the door, Lucius said nothing. The elder simply turned his back to the male, Vincent gave another nod before exiting the room. I apologize, princess. Just wanted to keep me focused on the task at hand. The male spoke after clearing his throat lightly, how was he just willing to lead this female back to where they abducted her? What changed him within a night? If only the male knew. Vincent led the female to his room, the two didn't say a word to one another. Didn't seem like it was any good to say anything, she had lost something dear to her and he was about to take her back to rule where she should still be learning how she'll fit as a Queen. Vincent pushed the doors closed after he followed Lithium into his bedroom, a small smile came to his face as he looked down to his book. The smile quickly fading, touching the book for a moment before picking it up. I want you to have this. Vincent spoke as he moved toward her, This mockery might help you lead your people if you realize how some clans work. Valon would probably be the easiest one to understand and get allied with.. since you saved Lucius from death. Vincent spoke, as he pushed the book into her hands. I suggest taking your time and studying the characters first. Try to get them to seem like text from your readings. He continued, Thats what Lucius had me do. Wasn't used to reading any of these characters.. no characters, actually. Taught me everything that he knew. Atleast he is healthy and able to lead on for many more years. Vincent spoke, giving out a small chuckle. Here's to our dooms, right? The male asked softly before taking a step back to her. Looking at the female, a urge slowly crept over it. Wasn't a bad urge. Her facial expression hadn't changed at all from when she was in Lucius' room. Taking the step back toward her, the male brought his hands up to her shoulders, rubbing the cloth with his thumbs lightly before pulling her into him. Arms wrapping around her lightly, it was a simple hug. For whatever reason, it seemed just to feel necessary. No matter how hard he would've tried fighting himself on it, he would've done it anyway. I apologize that this has all happened. His right hand ran up and down her back, repeating the slow motion against the cloth before stopping. Even though Vincent was apologizing, part of him felt that it would've happened sooner or later. Though, how bad it would be was too soon to tell. Something told Vincent that it just wasn't over... not by a long shot. Gather round, my children! Lucius shouted from the meeting hall all the way in the back of the Manor. As all can tell, I am better. To put rumors to rest, I am. For all to know, I was poisoned. The doses kept getting stronger and stronger as each day past. The saddening news is that the person who did it, stands in this room. Lucius spoke, pausing for a slight breath of air. Before anyone is to start pointing fingers, this person will be dealt with. There will be no news of who it is when I find who it is. The male's eyes crossed the sea of vampire heads. From now until dawn, there will be no moving about near my part of the Manor. Anyone who is found there will be tortured for thirty days before they are freed. A gasp echoed through the crowd, Lucius had everyone come to the meeting hall so Vincent could sneak the princess out without whoever was trying to harm her noticing. Vincent had rushed the female through the Manor, her change of clothes symbolized more of her Houses colors then his. Reaching down from the horse, Vincent pulled the female up into his lap. Kicking the horse in the sides with his heels, the male felt the horse immediately pick up speed. With that burst, they were off the property of Valon and into the wilderness where anything was possible. Vincent eased the horse into a fast paced trot. I estimate that we'll get to Kalion within a few hours, if you feel you should rest. Lean back against me, I will keep you up on the horse until we are there. Vincent spoke his arms slipping around the sides of the female so there wasn't any chance of her slipping off. Vincent couldn't help but think what exactly was to happen to him. More then likely, he'd be tortured in an attempt to break down and admit why he abducted the princess in the first place. The male let out a sigh, one that could be easily noted as a uncomfortable one. He felt uncomfortable with taking the female back to Kalion only because no matter what she did, she wouldn't be listened to and prevent what was to happen to him.
