Chapter 14
Cayden P.O.V
The large glass-like doble entry doors open rather quickly to reveal the maid I had spoken with her head bowed and hands behind her and just behind her stood Bethanhy giving me a daring grin. The sudden urge to rip her head from her body was overlapping the sentiment of grief I felt as I watched her. How long has it been? How much has she changed? Her appearance is wickedly close to Draco. Her black hair was a bit frizzed but tamed, her pale skin resembles that of mothers and her eyes... Gleam, yet I could pick up the sense of hatred lingering behind the glitz of her eyes.
"Speechless?" Bethany asks mockingly.
"I'm gathering my thoughts and what to say to you. Believe it to be a normal reaction from a loving brother." I smile.
"Loving?" She chuckles.
"Ah... That's right, since you're the kind to be bitter and bathe in hate you don't know what love is." I wipe my blood-stained hands with my handkerchief as she simply cackles at her entryway.
"It must be rather a dire situation for you to interrupt me at such hours," Bethany asks looking at her claw like nails.
"I wish to see Rosabella."
"No."
"You severed her finger, I came to bring it back." I fish out the small plastic tube containing Rosabella's finger. Othilia had handed me this before I rushed over.
"Aw," Bethany steps down two or three steps. "I must say, I'm surprised you're the one here tonight, and not your loving brother."
"He has been politely asked to keep his distance till the full moon." I smile with no intent to show any other emotion.
"Ballsy," Sonia chuckles. "Give me the finger and I'll see it returned to the owner. "
"Sorry, I cannot do that. I am required to see Rosabella's welfare in order to keep this little... Family affair, away from the Masters attention. Not only will Bethany receive damnation from Master Bathsheba but you Sonia... You will have your soul ripped from you."
We all stood glaring individually at one another for a minute or two, before Bethany scuffs. "Let him heal her finger and after that," She turns to face me. "If your're not out of my house the second she's healed I will personally rip your rachis." Se turns to Sonia and whispers in her ear, Sonia nods and gestures with her chin for me to follow.
I was led to the basement where the strong sweet smell of blood was all that I could inhale. This is Rosabella's blood. I clench my fists, Sonia opened the big silver door and led me into the room. I stared in horror as I saw Rosabella; chains from either side of the walls cuff her arms and legs widely apart in the middle of the room her body. Her body dangled so did her head, but I can stil hear the faint beat of her heart. Beside her by her feet was a metal bucket filled with her blood. Rosabella was fully naked, I could see cuts run up and down her limbs, blood also dripped from between her legs. Furiously I glare at Sonia who only looks down obviously displeased.
"Too harsh." Sonia whispers. "The blood from her vagina is her period... I know Bethany has monstrous habits iheritated and taught by your father... But she isn't a complete sadist."
"Nothing you say can change what you see Sonia." I point at Rosabella who is probably too weak to raise her head. "You know this is breaking the law, this is callous. I know you don't have much of a heart, but you do have a brain."
"Shut up and heal her finger." Sonia snaps.
"I have to unchain her." I say walking closer to Rosabella.
I stare in sorrow, I felt a tight knot in my throat as the sweet calling of her blood is compelling me to want it more than anything right now. I clear my throat and pick up her chin. Her eyes were close, her face stained in dried blood, her lips busted and her nose as well. I felt a large hallow thug in my guts as I try to imagine what horrors Bethany has put Rosabella through.
"Rose," I call out almost in a whisper as I caress her chin. "Rose, wake up."
"I can allow you to unchain her as you heal her, I will give you privacy... I don't do this for you or your family... I do this because she's one of my own... I never intended to harm one of magic blood. I owe her." Sonia shut the door and leaves us alone.
This is exactly what I needed. I felt the sudden urge to do what I came to do before Bethany or Sonia changes their minds. I draped her lifeless-like body onto me as I pulled the chains out from the walls and freeing her. Rosabella groans in pain as I carried her to the silver cold bed in the corner of the room.
"Come to my darling, we don't have much time." I say pulling the glass vile from my pocket. This vile contains the most potent blood of one of the strongest purebloods in our history. It's my Mother's blood from when she birthed Gabriel. The only time when a purebloods blood can truly be holy amongst any blood.
Rosabella groans and moans as she adjusted her body against mine, I tried to cover her naked body but sadly I don't possess anything to keep her shield or warm. Her eyes open slowly, body shaking she gasps as her eyes widen with tears.
She buried her head into my chest as she cries. "Cayden," Was all I could make out.
I pull her away and cup her face giving her a warmth smile as she ungly cries. "Rose," I felt the need to pull her into a tight embrace and never let her go. As I watched her memories of Gabriel back when Draco would beat him and mutilate him to make him into the Tellurian he had envisioned made me sick to my stomach.
"You need to drink this." I hand her the vile. "I also brought." I held her finger out to her.
She shakes in horror as she cries louder. "She... Healed me... and it grew back." She held her hand with the absent finger out to me. "She cut... cu-cut... and...cut again."
"Drink this and hold the finger against your wound..." I caress her cheek as I watch in anguish with the desire to erase her torment.
"Have you come to save me?" She asks.
I couldn't bring myself to look at her in the eyes, I pulled my hand away and stood from the bed.
"I wish-"
"Will Gabriel come for me?" Her voice shakes but I could hear the hopefully tone as it echoed in my head.
"It's all very complicated... I wish nothing more than to take you home this very instant. But if I do so, neither you, myself or even Gabriel would come out of this alive."
"Gabrie-what do you mean? Bethany is only threatening me of death."
I sat before her and held her cold small hands in mine as I look into her eyes. "Gabriel has been hexed, if he doesn't make you into a vampire he will die."
I felt her hand tense beneath mines but she eased up quickly as she gave me a small sad smile. "He must live."
"And he will," I tuck her hair behind her ear as I force her to drink the vile. "So will you."
While her wounds healed and color returned to her face she blushes and began to cry once more as she tries to cover herself.
"Belive me darling, I am not interested in such things at a time like this." I smile as I felt a sense of relief.
"I'm mentruating and naked... It couldn't get anyworse."
Sonia abruptly opens the door and stares between us. She raised a brow as she hms, Rosabella tensed up and took a hold of my hand and held it for dear life as her heart beat ran rapidly.
"Although very touchy, times up and you must be on your way." Sonia points to me and points at the door.
I glare at her but nodded coldly. I turn to Rosabella who to me seemed scared and vulnerable as she stares into my eyes with fear. I gave her hand a tight squeeze before letting go of her and making my way to the door. Before I walked out I stop, "You will be back home safe and sound... sooner than you think." I turn my head to see her. "I promise."
