Thread: Opposite Ends ( Ava & ForeverMischievous )

Ava's question brought a thought to Emmerick's mind. Would there ever be a chance at peace? Would his blood thirsty family ever really admit to peace? It was hard to imagine now, especially when they found out, just how their bodies would react to Lock blood. They'd go insane, and aim precisly at the Lock's heart. Ava and her siblings, parents and so forth, would become cadel. No more worth the the cow's, slaughtered for food and milked for drinks. No, he could not let this happen. He had to learn more of the Lock and Holtest families connections. I don't know.. Mi'lady.. But I do know, that it seems like dark times now.. And I do know, that the only way anyone will see through it.. Is by staying strong.. Emmerick spoke, as he rose from the bed, placing a hand upon Ava's shoulder as well, his bright brown eye's looking to Ava's. Amelia nodded in agreement. I agree.. Everyone sees dark times.. You. Just need to be a bit stronger, then most.. The darkness we're in, being a lot.. Thicker. Then most. She said, smiling lightly. But.. We'll find a way, I am sure.. She finished, nodding a single time. Both Amelia and Emmerick nodded at Lydia's words, looking towards her in agreement. Do not worry about us.. Whilst you rest, we shall think. Emmerick said, tapping his head with a finger a few times, before chuckling lightly as he was shown out of the room by Lydia. Rest well, Lady Ava.. Things will get better with time. He said, before Lydia closed the door after him. Now his expression turned thoughtful, as he looked for the floor, placing a hand upon his chin, gently itching his cheek in wonder. Amelia once again tilt her head, watching Emmerick. What is it your wondering, ser? I've seen you so a few times. Emmerick looked up to meet Amelia's worried expression, and he met it with a gentle smile, before placing a hand on her shoulder, but not answering her question yet. As Lydia exited her Mistress' room, and started leading Emmerick and Amelia towards their destination, Emmerik eyed her thoughtfully. He was certain she had something on her mind, and he knew he had himself. He had to find out more. More of the ridiculas tale about the Holtests. No longer seeming that ridicules, he had to hear it all. Emmerick nodded a single time at her first words, looking towards the big doors they where closing in on. I am going to need a bit more then books, to satisfy my wondering. Emmerick said, with intent in his voice. Amelia looked up upon Emmerick with a questioning expression, and a slightly risen brow. But she followed without a word. As soon as the door was closed behind them, Emmerick turned to speak, but was interrupted by Lydia's own words. He narrowed his eyes a bit at her words, once again getting a stern expression, as Amelia flared up with worry. Wh.. What lies? What!? Does sh.. Emmerick raised a hand towards her, causing her to halt her words, reluctantly. Superstitious nonsense and ridicules accusations as your own, that is my reason, Madam Lydia... He started off with a slight sneer, before turning his back to her, walking a few steps inside the room. It was clear Amelia was fighting her own tongue, biting her lower lip to keep herself from bursting. And worst thing is.. That you might be right. Those.. Vile tales of my family, seems to have some truth to them.. He continued, before turning to point towards her. Yet that does not mean Lady Ava is in any danger, around me.. His voice stern and serious, no lies attached to them. Wh.. What are you talking about? Does.. Does she know? Amelia complained. Emmerick nodded a single time, before grabbing at her shoulder, already knowing that Amelia would turn a flaring gaze towards Lydia, and would certainly be more aggressive then him. Tell her, and we'll all be in grave d... Amelia was about to protest, before Emmerick hushed her. Shh.. Amelia. He whispered, causing Amelia's words to halt, but her heart to keep beating. His eyes then drifted towards Lydia, as he took a few steps towards her, with a demanding stare. You will tell me everything you've heard of this tale. Every detail. I must know everything you do, and all that before Lady Ava wakes again. If these tales are true, she is in worse danger, then I could've even imagined. His gaze dropped to his bandage, before his hand gripped it to rip it off, showing the perfectly healed scars bellow them. I taste Ava's blood. The blood that had flown from her finger. My body healed, as if.. As if I'd fed upon an entire being.. The Locks blood... Is truly powerful. He said, now with a more enchanted voice, almost praising their blood with his words. Amelia stood shocked, completely oblivious to what they where conversing. She knew nothing of the Holtest Heritage, nor of the tales he spoke of. Emmericks eyes then moved towards Lydia again, as they narrowed. If my brothers know.. If they come here, and find out... Your Mistress will not even meet the fate I thought.. She would become a feeding tube.. Every night, she'd be drained to near death, only to be well kept and preserved, to meet the same fate the night after. My family would be empowered by her blood, and the Lock family will surely be hunted down, and perish.. Do you understand? Do you trust me now? Should I wish for your Mistress'' demise, I would've already sunk my fangs in her neck, and become powerful enough to burn down this Estate myself. I wish your Lady, nor her family, no harm. You must help me find a way to avoid the coming bloodbath. Tell me everything you know. His voice ended as a demand, as he pointed a finger at her, and finally silenced. Amelia blinked a few times, before taking a step backwards. The.. The Lock blood.. Empowers you? Wh.. What are you? She whispered, frightened eyes now focused upon him. His gaze turned towards her, as he stood up straight again, sighing lightly with apologetic eyes. The same as I've always been. The Holtest Heritage, is that of vile creatures.. Creatures of the night. We feed upon the living, to prolong our lives.. I am sorry for never telling you this, but it had no meaning to me.. I never fed upon a living being, nor have you ever been in danger. He promised, his voice as enthralling as ever, meeting submissive ears, causing Amelia to nod a few times, and lower her head lightly. Either way, we wont survive strife between each other now. We're nearing dangerous times, and it'll only get worse, if i can not find a way around it. I must know everything there is to know, about the Holtest and Lock families past. He said, looking to Lydia, once more.
