Chapter 7
I was placed in punishment for a week, that would mean being tortured in the dungeon and guard duty. After getting permission for a shower, I finally changed into a pair of dark blue jeans, dark red t-shirt tucked in. Placing my robe on as I winced to the still healing wounds upon my back and shoulders. Closing the robe gently as my quarters door opened, “You presence is needed in the Great Hall Master Eli.” JD said as he stood holding the door open. Barely nodding my head as I made my way down into the basement to the hall, lifting my hood up as the heavy wooden doors were opened. Slowly everybody stood as I stepped inside, Lord Calloway stood up at the alter motioning me forward, “Come forward Master Eli.” Slowly I walked down the aisle and stopping before him. Lowering my head as I knelt before him, as everybody seated themselves once again. Stepping down one step, Lord Calloway stood before me, “From here on out, you are off punishment and placed back on your normal detail. If you pull something like this again, your punishment will be more severe. Do I make myself clear?” “Yes Lord Calloway..” I spoke loud and clear, making sure the whole hall heard me. “Rise to your feet.” Slowly I stood to my feet, slowly turned and face my back to him. Upon feeling a hand upon my shoulder, I slowly led him out of the Great Hall, up to his quarters.
Opening the door as he stepped into his quarters, my stuff was moved into his room while we were away, by his orders. Closing the door as I slowly lowered my hood, after he lowered his. I stepped up and fell into routine until he was comfortable and ready for bed. He sat in his high back chair as I changed into one of his t-shirts. I still had a pair of shorts on as I knelt before him. “What do you require of me this eve sire?” Folding his hands as he looked to her, “Stand to your feet Elias...” Slowly I stood and kept my eyes to the floor. Slowly he rose to his feet as he stepped towards me, slowly walking around me, inspecting me. He was testing me to see if I still had self doubt or not. Lowering his head as he moved my hair to the side, starting to gently kiss my neck, feeling his teeth caress my skin. Not making no movements or anything as he slowly lifted his head up, leaning back up to his full height. “Your self doubt is no more. I am pleased Elias.” Taking a deep breath, I settled myself down as I gently answered him, “Thank you sire. You told me not to come back with, so I did not.”
Slowly nodding his head as he moved to stand before me, “I am pleased with your progress since you’ve come back to us.” Nodding my head gently, “Thank you once again sire. Only to please you, is what my duty is among others.” Slowly he reached his right hand and caressed my cheek gently, “You are very beautiful Elias..” I leaned into his touches. I had longed to feel his touch again, ever since that night he touched me before I left. Smiling as he was pleased to see her behaving and not doubting herself, he stepped forward as he slowly lowered his head. Pressing his lips gently to mine, only thing I felt was a searing heat run through my body. Pressing mine firmly to his as the kiss slowly became passionate. I was following his lead, after all anything that was done, he controlled what happen.
Slowly he pulled back from the kiss as our eyes connected. Only thing that showed in his blazing, darkened orbs was want and desire. I had to answer the call, it had been ages since we were intimate with one another. Slowly leaning himself back up to his full height, backing his way to the bed as he seated himself on the edge. It was evident by the bulge shown with his robe, that tonight I had something to fulfill. Slowly I stepped over, placing him in bed, very gently as he removed his robe, placing it upon the chair. Moving to the other side of the bed, as I went to put out the oil lamp, the Lord pulled the other side of the bed covers back. “You are going to share the bed with me this eve.” Nodding as I put the oil lamp out, I gently climbed into the bed, pulling the covers back, I slid down to lay upon my side, settling in for the evening.
I felt movement behind me as he moved closer to me, draping his arm around me, pulling me closer to his body. I slid closer until I was right up against his body. Lowering his head as he went to work on my neck with his searing kisses and bites. After some foreplay, I was laying facing him as he was finishing with my neck. Nipping my ear as he spoke, “Remove what covers your beauty from my eyes and touch.” Slowly I sat up on the bed as he laid there and watched me slide out of my shorts and his shirt, placing them upon the chair, in case I needed to get up for anything. Sliding back under the covers, we went back to our desires. It felt wonderful to feel his touches, caresses, gentle hands, nimble fingers work my flesh like artist with his paints. We had made connection with our hearts and souls, as we made love for the remainder of the evening.
Laying in his arms as he slept soundly behind me, I laid in the darkness, just letting my mind wander. I was his once again, no choice, no regrets. I heard something outside the door as I felt him move behind me. Moving onto his back as I slowly sat up, dressed in just his shirt, slid on a pair of jeans that laid on top of my bag. I looked to him, he was still asleep. I moved quickly and quietly over to the door, opening and sliding out as I closed it. Closing my eyes as I listened amongst the darkness I stood in. Knowing I wasn’t alone in the house besides the guards. Slowly opening my eyes as I moved to the railing, some guards were missing. Something was wrong I could feel it. Then a few guards came into view at the bottom of the grand stairs. “Master Eli! Intruder in the house!” One bellowed as I rose my hand up to quiet him down. “Find them at once you fools! If the Lord finds out, he will have your heads!” They went on a search as a few guards came up onto the floor I was on.
One of the guards stopped a few feet from me as we heard the flapping of wings. I knew what it was off the bat, grabbing a knife from the belt of JD, I jumped up on the railing, crouched, looking around. “Master Eli, what are you doing?” He asked. I looked to him, “Flying dweller... You stay near the Lord’s door. Make sure nothing gets in..If something does and gets him, I will make sure I kill you.” He nodded as he moved over to the door, stood in front of both doors on full alert. Looking around with my eyes gently as I caught the noise again. Slowly the dweller came into view, flying around the huge mansion, looking for a snack or something.
Upon a pair of decaying wings it flew, tattered black suit, dangled like rags from it’s corpse. I couldn’t miss these things, five miles a way. Moving just a bit along the railing, I perched as I placed the knife between my teeth, waiting for my moment. As the dweller flew close enough, I jumped with all the power I had, landing upon it’s back. It screeched as the sound echoed off the walls and such of the mansion. It panicked as it felt my body weight upon it. Grabbing at the base of it’s wings, I hung on for dear life.
The guards ran up to the second and third floors quickly, armed with spears and knives as about five more surrounded the Lord’s quarter doors. Making sure nothing got by them. It flew everywhere, trying to knock me off it’s back, at the same time, trying to grab me with it’s clawed hands, trying to tear into my flesh. Once they tear flesh of a living soul, they went straight for the insides, leaving nothing behind to identify you. I swung, keeping my distance from it’s claws and other things as it was looking for a way out. The guards tried to grab it as it flew near them, but nothing prevailed. I heard the guards yelling and the creature screeching. It was starting to give me a damn headache.
Then I heard Sir Layfield giving orders, knowing I couldn’t at the moment, to the guards. “Get ropes and get the thing down!” He bellowed at once as I grabbed the handle of the knife and grabbed the base of it’s wing once again as it flew upside down, crashing through the railings of the third floor, trying to rid me off it’s back. Feeling my ribs break and slices upon my back, didn’t knock me off that quickly. “Hurry you fools!” Sir Layfield bellowed as the guards gathered on the second and third floor with ropes in their hands, ready to lasso the creature. I gripped the knife in my hand as I leaned back and cut into the base of one of it’s wings. A loud screech could be heard as the creature stopped, trying to grab the weapon out of it’s wing.
Slowly I felt us both falling down to the first floor of the mansion. Ropes flew, missing some, others getting a piece, but pulling too hard, pulled the creature apart as we hit the floor in the foyer at the bottom of the stairs. I laid with the creature upon me, the knife had severed it’s wing as it rolled off of me, and onto it’s feet. Backing into the darkness, it’s silvery eyes could be seen as the guards surrounded it with their spears outstretched towards it. A few from the second floor came running down and tossed ropes over it to keep it from moving and trying to take flight again.
“Silence that creature!” Lord Calloway bellowed from the top of the stairs. The guards rushed down the stairs from the third and second to help the others out. Finally getting the creature under control, slowly getting to my knees as I winced, placing a bloody hand upon my right shoulder. It was busted up from the landing, I was a mess. Slowly Lord Calloway came walking down the stairs with guards standing in front of him with Sir Layfield at his side. “Bring the creature down stairs, dispose of it properly. Clean up the mess and get back on duty.” He demanded as the guards got the creature out of sight and down to the basement.
Others had stayed behind and started to clean up the mess as Sir Layfield came to my side, “You alright Master Eli?” Nodding my head a bit as he slid himself under my left arm gently, getting me to my feet. “Sir Layfield, Take Master Eli to see Mordorn. Stay with her until I show.” Nodding, “Yes sire. You two, JD and Crises, stay with the Lord and make sure nothing happens to him.” They both nodded as Sir Layfield helped me off to the medical specialist on the premises, Mordorn.
