"I'll wager with you. I'll make you a bet. The more you deny me. The stronger I get. You'll then be my puppet, my play thing, my pet. I"ll make you do things you'll be sure to regret." -Mister Babadook by Jennifer Kent
Vlad Pov
"I'm sorry, I don't know what you said? What did you say?" Lyall asked sweetly while tilting her head cutely. I laughed at her a little. "It doesn't matter. Your accent... where are you from exactly? What religion do you practice?" I asked, firing question after question. I wanted to get to know her, understand why a beautiful blind girl would be here. The more I looked at her the more amazed I am from her smooth milk skin, to her emerald eyes and aburn hair, I couldn't understand why she thinks she is not beautiful.
"She is the definition of an angel." I thought with a sigh. Before she could answer any of my questions I heard the door to the dungons snap open and foot steps heading are way. "The soldiers... No! They will not take her!" I thought with panic. "Lyall! Listen to me. You must hide!" I shouted/whispered. I saw her flinch from my loud voice but this was no time to be gentle about this situation. "Hide? Why? What is going on?" she asked with a confused voice. "Please Lyall! We don't have time for this! You mist hide or they will take you!" I shouted with frustation. "Who!?" she yelled in frustation. "GO!" I roared. Finally she took my words and ran off. But sadly she ran right next to the door to the dungon. "Lyall no!" I shouted.
But it was too late. The Turkish soldiers came. "Well, well little prince. It's time for the Sultan to play with his toy." the one soldier said with an evil grin.They started coming towards me. For the first time in my life I felt fear deep in my core but not for myself but... for Lyall. I fearfully looked in the direction of Lyall went but found... that she was not there. "Where is she?" I thought while I looked around franticly to even catch a glimps of her fraile form. "Stop squirming! No one is here to save you!" one the soldiers yelled while harshly releasing me from those chains and thowing me to the ground.
"Please god... keep Lyall safe... keep my angel safe." I prayed while holding my mothers sliver cross around my neck.
Lyall Pov
I slipped passed those figures without a second thought. Well since I am a spirit. "I'm shocked I haven't gotten myself killed yet. Considering I'm blind and a klutz." I laughed while scratching my head. But now I'm lost and left Vlad behind. I lifted my hands and felt around for anything. I felt the walls and started walking along side them. It felt like I was in a long hallway but something felt... off.
Soon I started hearing hissing noises the further I went along.
Hissss... Hissss...
"What is that?" I whispered while stopping in my tracks to listen closely. Soon it got louder... and louder!
HISSSSS!
Then a big blast of wind knocked me down and pinned me to a wall. "What! What is this!?" I screamed in terror. The fact I was also blind didn't help in the way of my fear. I tired to move my arms but it was weighed down by some sort of force. Almost like something is pinning me down. Suddenly a shadowy form with blood red eyes appered while holding my arms and legs into place. I felt it's breath on my face. It smelled of rotten flesh and ash.
"You should not be here." it hissed. "Who are you?" I asked in a weak, trembling voice filled with fear. It just hissed at me again and dug it's claws into my flesh. I winced in pain. " You dare ask me that? A weak human in this domain asks Me that!? Are you naive or stupid?... Well no matter. It looks like the prince has seen you already. So what's done is done." it said with a sigh. " Prince? What prince? I don't understand what your talking about. Let me go!" I screamed while struggling to get myself loose. "Wow you really are stupid. I'm only telling you this for your own good since I'm in a good mood. Stay away from that boy. He will only bring you heartbreak." it laughed while tightning his hold on my wrists. I went frozen for a moment. "Boy? You mean Vlad? Where is he!? What have you done to him you monster!" I yelled in anger. "I'm a monster... hehe... how amusing. You don't know what a really monster is. Well there is no point in talking to you. Fine I shall take you to him." it said with an evil smile.
Then it let go of one of my wrists and placed it's clawed hand over my eyes and mumbled a few words. Suddenly once it lifted it's hand I was able to see again. "Wha...!" I said in shock but a fingered claw touched my lips to silence me. " Shhh. I only gave back your sight for only a moment. I said I would let you see him and I will." it hissed. Before I could say anything I was lifted in the air and spead though the halls. "Ahhhhh!" I screamed. After what seem like hours that was only a few seconds we stopped in someones bed chamber. I was finally settled to the ground but my legs gave out after that joyful ride. "Note the sarcasm.". I thought.

"Why... why did you bring me here?" I hesitated asking. Not daring to look it in the eye. Before this thing could answer I saw a blurry plump male tossing a blurry boy to the bed. "You lied! You said I'd have my sight back!" I yelled while rubbing my eyes. " Ah! But I only said for a little while." it laughed. Soon I heard grunts and tearing of cloths. "Wait! This voice..." I thought. "Vlad!" I yelled in relief. I tried to get up to go to him but I was bound by a heavy force again. "I will not let you interfer." it hissed. I froze in disbelief. Then I heard more tearing of cloths. I looked up and saw the blurry plump male lifting a blurry naked Vlad by his hair with a lust filled eyes. "No." I thought with dread.
Soon he forced Vlad onto his stomach while holding his head so he wouldn't get away. "No! No! Get away from him! Please you have to let me save him!" I scaremed with tears in my eyes as I struggle against the force. "Scream all you want. They can't hear you. I told you I'd bring you to him. I didn't say it wouldn't be pretty." it laughed. Soon the plump male took him from behind. "NOOOO!" I screamed with tears falling down my face. I screamed and cried until my voice was raw at this horrible scene before me.
Then Vlad looked straight at me or through me and said "Lord... I will not beg for mercy." with a smile on his face while holding onto the cross for dear life. My eyes wided in horror. Then with a hard resolve I fought harder againt my bonds. "What!?" the thing hissed with shock. I finally broke free of my bonds and ran to Vlad. I knew my I was lossing my sight again very soon. So I came to the edge of the bed and gently grabbed his trembling hands. He looked up at me in shock. As my world was turning dark I held those hands tighter and closed my eyes with tears falling down my cheeks I whispered " I'm here.". Behind me the black creature look at me with anger and sorrow. "You made your choice... now deal with the consequences."
