Chapter 19 - Chapter 19 - Books

Juliana

I was in the meadow enjoying the beautiful day listening to the animals and the river. I was reading a book when suddenly someone was standing over me. I look up to see Leonardo. I smiled at him and he sat next to me without a word. We just sat there for a few moments quiet. I continued reading my book and Leonardo just staring at me. I felt this warmth throughout my body.

He gently took the book out of my hands holding them in his. We sat there just staring into each other's eye until he was inches away from my face. His hand came to my cheek and caressed it. Then he pulled me in closer our lips brushing. We were kissing each other passionately as if we were hungry for something greater. His hands roamed my curves. He was starting to untie the front of my dress. We broke our kiss gasping for air my hands were unbuttoning his shirt. I could see his man hood pressing against his pants. He started kissing my neck while leaving small love bites trailing down my neck. Finally my dress hit the floor and my undergarments were soon to follow. His hands traveled to between my legs. His mouth moved to my breast and he nipped, sucks, and massaged them. His hand pushed my legs apart and started rubbing my flower. His mouth found mine and I moaned into his mouth. This made him growl.

I shot up feeling flustered and sweat coming down my face. 'It was just a dream..' I thought to myself but I couldn't help but feel disappointed that it was only a dream. I had almost forgotten that I ran away from my home last night. I felt worried and it wasn't even for myself. It was for my brother. I couldn't let those things bother me. I got up and started making myself something to eat from the food i brought with me. I then brought a chair and sat in front of the lectern to start reading and researching if anything my mother told me was real.

Silas

It has been a hard day, I came to the shop after father nearly destroyed the house when he found Juliana missing. I just hope he doesn't find out that I know that she ran away much less that I helped her escape. However, I do not regret it because it wasn't fair how he treated her. I just needed to find the Prince to tell him that she left. I don't know if I should tell the Prince because of the rumors that he is the Devil. That the wars he has won were done with the help of demons and other unearthly abilities. My thoughts are cut short when I hear someone entering into the shop and I turn around to see the Prince. I half smile, "Good morning My Lord." I say while bowing then I notice his friend from last night following not too far behind. "What do I owe the pleasure?"

He looked at me with a raised eyebrow, "Please Silas, call me Leonardo. I am here to check on your sister. Did she happen to come with you today?" He asked while walking around the shop looking for her. I stared at my feet and swallowed hard. He seemed to have noticed my hesitation and approached me. I had my own war in my head, which monster was better? My father or the Prince.

Leonardo

I noticed someone was in the blacksmith's shop so we entered and stumbled upon Silas, but there was something off with him. He seem reserved and hesitant towards me. I found it even more frustrating when I asked him about Juliana and he was reluctant to answer me. I stopped wondering the shop going closer to him. "What is wrong?" I asked bluntly. I could feel my demon loosing patience. Silas continued to look down at his feet. I slammed my fist through the table shattering it and growling, "Tell me what happen!"

"She is gone," he said in a whisper with fear. I stood there for a moment. My face was covered in shock I didn't know what to do. What did he mean gone? As if reading my thoughts he continued. "Father beat her pretty badly last night. I helped her run away and I don't know where she went." I looked him straight in the eyes to see if he was lying but he wasn't.

"Thank you Silas. I will go look for her." I said and if I knew of anywhere she would be my first guess would be the meadow.

"My father already thinks that you took her." He said with tears threatening his eyes.

"Good, lets keep it that way until I find her and she is truly safe." I said then turned away to walk out of the shop.

Juliana

I have been studying the book for a few hours. I managed to find a spell, really a healing oil, to heal the welts, bruises, and cuts on the skin. It needed four leaves of rosemary, two juniper, one sandlewood, one lavender, and one aloe vera. I am then to let it sit in the sun until it changes from a light green to a light yellow. I am sitting in the meadow waiting for my 'healing oil' to change color. I cant believe that I am trying to do this. I feel ridiculous thinking that this witches stuff will work. I suddenly had this feeling of someone was watching me. I grabbed everything and hid in the forest's tree line. My heart was racing, it seemed as though it would beat straight through my chest. That it was so loud in my ears that someone would hear my heart. What if it was my father. I froze when I saw the figure in the meadow. I felt this warmth and sense of relief flow through my body. I just wanted to jump out of the trees and tell him I was here but I couldn't bring myself to move. I suddenly felt an arm around my waist yanking me to the ground. I groaned in pain when I hit the forest floor.

"So my little whore of a daughter thought she could get away from me that easily?" My father said crouching down connecting our eyes. I couldn't help the tears that were streaming down my face. I knew and feared the things my father was capable of doing to me. "I am going to show you who you belong to and leave a little reminder for you too." My father grabbed me by my hair and ripped my dress off. I was frozen with fear, I didn't know what to do. He began loosening his pants and my eyes widened. He had pinned me down to the ground and I started screaming. He covered my mouth allowing one of my arms free and I scratched his face. His grip only tighten and he then pinned both of my arms above my head with one hand while covering my mouth with the other. He processed to place himself between my legs and he was positioning himself when his weight on top of me disappeared.

I scrambled trying to cover myself with what was left of my dress and that was when I saw him. He was holding my father by the collar. I saw claws coming from his hands and fangs baring from his mouth. I suddenly felt someone grabbing my arm. I jerked away startled by the sudden closeness of someone else.

"Julie, it is me Peter. I am just trying to help you. Can I take you to the palace." I shook my head and scooted back from him. He sighed and put his hands up.

I just wanted to go back to the safety of my new hiding spot, but I didn't know how to tell him that.

"I'll take you to your cave and leave you there if you want? I just need to hold your hand to take you there and then I will disappear." My eyes widened. Did he just read my mind. My body started shaking I didn't know what was happening anymore.

"St-t-tay away from me." I stuttered, holding my knees to my chest. Peter simply raised his hands and walked towards where my father was being held by Leo.
