Chapter 2: The Palace
When they returned to the coven Stannis called for a meeting to be held. Henry cleaned himself before going to it as he didn't want Stannis or any of the others to smell Anna on him.
Stannis stood at the front of the coven in the large hall, he had been told about several different incidents which had happened recently. The rules were in place for a reason and several vampires had broken them. He waited patiently as everyone gathered.
"It has come to my attention that some of you have broken the rules." His voice echoed throughout the hall.
There was a shift amongst those who stood in front of Henry, even across the hundreds of vampires in the room Stannis's eyes zoned in towards Henry.
"Those found breaking the rules will be punished. The humans have provided us with blood banks and there is no need to go out after to feed, or to play with the humans as some of you like to put it. We as elders and those who are leaders of clans are allowed out when we feed on the fresh blood of humans, the rest of you will obey the rules, you are provided blood from our banks."
He takes a pause and nods to a couple of his men who swoop in over and down to where Henry stood. In front of Henry were the two vampires he had followed, both were apprehended from behind by Stannis's men. A space started to clear around them Henry moved out with the crowd as they backed up, Stannis appeared in beside him and stood directly in front of Henry.
"Did you sneak out of the coven?"
"Yes." Henry answered.
"Did you feed?"
"No."
"Liar." Spat Simon.
Henry's eyes turned red as his head flicked round to Simon who was being held by Stannis's men.
"I never bit her... I kissed her." Gasps were heard throughout the hall followed by muttering. "These two were about to feed off her wrist, I knew it was wrong and made them leave her alone."
Stannis paced around Henry. "Why did you kiss her?"
"I had to make sure these two thought I was feeding off her so they would leave her alone. I overheard them talking about going out to feed when they weren't supposed to. I followed them." Henry stared Stannis in his eyes. "They had already cut her wrist."
Stannis was watching them. With a quick flick of his wrist Stannis had moved in front of Simon and Renley his fingernails ran along their necks.
"Is this true?"
"Simon fed I didn't." Renley swallowed.
"How did he feed?"
"He bit the human's wrist, he said it tastes better."
Stannis moved to Simon, his nail scraping the vein on his neck, Simon knew he was in the shit now, Stannis could sense the change in the air.
"You have disrespected the rules of feeding, you will be dropped from your rank and spend four weeks in the cells with no feeding, you will be starved and then the following weeks you will be allowed a cup of blood to drink from. You will not be allowed to bite another human again."
Stannis moved over to Renley. "Your rank will be dropped, you will not be allowed out to feed. You are lucky you're not joining him in the cells."
Henry silently prayed he wouldn't be punished to where he wasn't allowed out, he had to see Anna. Stannis signalled to his men, who hauled Simon away Renley was left standing where he was. Stannis made his way back up to the front and made an announcement.
"No Vampire will be allowed out until the higher council has had a private meeting."
With that he turned and left, leaving Henry wondering what was going to happen to him. He went back to his home where he lived alone. All the vampires had separate homes, they lived in a huge underground city where sections of the city were divided up and vampires lived according to their ranks. Henry lived in the lower section situated below the elders and grand elders, Stannis lived in the castle which stood above the city overlooking everyone and where the higher council met for private meetings.
"Bring me a feed." Stannis glared at his servant.
With a quick nod of her head the she disappeared. Stannis never drank from a glass, he liked to have his fresh pumping around veins so he could sink his teeth into it every time. A young lad was brought in for feeding upon, it would be his second time that he had experienced Stannis's bite. Unless the human was willing it was a painful experience for them, one of the reasons Stannis liked to take his feeds fresh. He loved watching the fear in the eyes before he sank his teeth into them. The last girl he had died out of fear.
After his feed Stannis sat down and pondered what he was going to do. He knew about Henry as he had sent Lawrence to follow the two dumb asses out of the coven as he had someone watching them because they had already done it once before.
"So Lawrence can you confirm what Henry said?" Stannis didn't punish Henry in the great hall as he was one of Stannis's best trainers for the younger vampires and he had to think about what he was to do about him.
"Sir, from what I could see, he did not bite her, he did heal up the wound on the woman's wrist."
With a nod Stannis summoned to bring Henry to him. When he arrived he was told to wait in the council's office, the large room had a table in the centre and eleven chairs placed around it. Afraid to touch anything Henry stood waiting for Stannis to arrive. The doors opened and a gust of wind followed Stannis into the room making his entrance more dramatic. Henry wondered if it was for effect only, although he did have a tendency of letting you know when he arrived.
"Henry, I've been thinking. You are one of my best trainers here, I would hate to see you fall into the same fate as Simon and Renley. I had one of my men follow them also and can confirm that you were telling the truth, but I question you why did you kiss her?"
"I wanted them to think I was biting her Stannis, they would have never left if I hadn't, she didn't deserve two vampires feeding on her."
Stannis circled around him, he could sense Henry was holding something back, he came round to stare Henry in his eyes.
"Very well, you have to train the younger guys today right?"
"Yes sir."
"I want you to take them to the Palace for a change."
"The Palace?"
"Yes, I think you and the others deserve a little bit of enjoyment." Stannis waved his hand to indicate the conversation was over.
With a nod Henry left wondering what Stannis's game was. The Palace was the local whore house where vampires went to relieve their sexual tension.
Henry gathered his man together, they were surprised to be taken to the Palace.
"Sir why are we here?" One of them questioned.
"Instructions from Stannis himself, you are to enjoy yourself for the next two hours."
All eight of them looked between each other and smiled. They walked in with Henry and were greeted by Dame Cerci who ran the Palace.
"Welcome Henry, I have instructions for you and your men. If you please follow me."
They were led to one of the rooms where several girls laid naked everywhere. Henry swallowed as he hadn't been in the whore house in quite some time and especially since being with Anna.
"I'll leave you boys to it ." Dame Cerci left shutting the door behind her.
It was common for several men to enter one of the rooms and enjoy themselves with the women there. Henry instructed the others to enjoy themselves. It didn't take long for them to discard their clothes and go to the women they desired.
"Are you not joining us?" Lisa ran her fingers down Henry's chest.
"I was sent to bring them here, not to enjoy myself."
"Oh but that is where you are wrong, Stannis instructed me to make sure you had a good time."
Henry would have jumped at the chance before meeting Anna, especially with Lisa. She was one of the most beautiful vampires who were reserved for the pleasure of the Highers. Henry knew he couldn't refuse her, that would be an insult to her and would cost you dearly. Henry stripped off his clothes and Lisa smiled. She had had the pleasure of Henry once before and he was one most girls desired because his dick gave them much more pleasure than the others. Vampire women, especially the ones in the whore house, liked dirty sex and to have a man with a big dick penetrate you was so much better.
Lisa held Henry by his dick and led him over to the bed where one of the women already had her legs spread wide open fingering herself.
"Lie down and watch her, play with her, fuck her with your fingers whilst I suck you."
Obeying Lisa, he lay down and her mouth worked up and down his shaft making him go hard, Henry lay watching the young female vampire play with herself and he imagined watching Anna. He soon became rock solid, Lisa smiled and licked up his shaft as she had thought she had made him go hard. Moving over him she licked up his chest before digging in her fingernails and lowering herself onto him.
"Oh, you need to visit me more often Henry."
He closed his eyes and held around her waist as she rode him. Lisa signalled to the girl to sit on his face. She was a new girl in the Palace as was for viewing purposes only so this would be her first time experiencing something more. Dianne moved over Henry's face, Lisa dug her nails in harder and told him to pleasure her. Opening his eyes they flicked to Lisa who was enjoying herself on top of him, He moved his hands so they held Dianne above him, her pussy was already dripping wet for him.
He ran his tongue along her opening and flicked it across her clit, she jerked as he kept at her until she came, Lisa was satisfying herself, she took Dianne's breasts in her hands and started kissing her as Henry kept pleasing them both.
Henry was enjoying himself; he knew he had to cum soon, but he didn't want to do it inside of Lisa. He threw Dianne off him onto the bed and pulled Lisa out of him.
"Suck it, I want to cum down your throat."
Lisa took his throbbing cock into her mouth, Henry grabbed her head and shoved it down deep into the back of her throat and fucked her mouth. Making the most of it whilst he was here as Anna wouldn't be able to handle the forcefulness from his thrusts he thought. Holding Lisa down he kept ramming his dick down her throat till he came, his eyes closed and Anna's face appeared into his mind as he emptied his load, he heard Lisa gag as his cum filled the back of her throat. Removing himself Henry stood up and walked off. Lisa shot over in front of him and they flew across the room, she pinned him up against the wall.
"What was that for?"
"I was in the mood for your beautiful mouth." He grabbed her throat and they went flying down onto the bed. "Why I thought you liked my dick down your throat?"
"I wanted you to come in me."
"You want me to cum inside you?"
Lisa smiled. "Yes I love it when a guy cums in me, especially you." Her eyes turned red and lit up.
Henry teased her, he lifted her legs up and stroked his dick along her clit till he reached her ass. Her eyes went wide when she realised what he was doing. She wanted him but she was one of the few who didn't take it up the ass and Henry knew it. He bared his teeth at her and she hissed, He lifted her up and pinned her against the ceiling.
"You want me inside of you, this will be the only way from now on."
Lisa flattened her hands out against the surface of the ceiling as Henry held her there, his eyes turned red with blood, it was only because he was facing upwards that they didn't drip, she had never seen this happen amongst vampires before. There was something different about him, a powerful and intriguing vibration coming off him. Henry quickly closed his eyes and took a deep breath, opening his eyes up. They had turned back to black and he released his hold he had on Lisa, apologising as their feet touched the ground.
"What was that about?" Lisa questioned him.
"I'm not sure." He was telling the truth, something was changing in him and he didn't know.
Henry excused himself and got dressed, he left quickly and headed home, he was sure that this would get back to Stannis but he would deal with that later.
Everything he did in there felt wrong to him, a powerful anger surged throughout his body he grabbed the nearest thing to him and ripped it up.
