Chapter 2 4

It took her a while to calm her body and mind but eventually sleep took her. Her dreams took on a bizarre twist, one that Beth struggled to understand.

Beth watched almost from outside of her own body, as the man in front of her opened his eyes; she watched as the darkness greeted him, she saw his confusion and panic. Hidden in what smelled like the cellars of a fortress, the dank, musty smell pierced his nostrils with a sharp tang, his eyes flicked from one side to the other, in movement so rapid she could barely follow it. The first thing he noted was that his arms were shackled to the wall, although he felt little pain or discomfort. His head was a different matter, the pain was excruciating. His stomach was torturing him going from intense hunger to crippling nausea. Attempting to move into the corner of the room, the noise of the chains rattling, informed him that the shackles would stop him. Cursing he dropped to his knees, attempting to empty the contents of his stomach. Where was he, how had he arrived here? Beth watched him fall back against the wall.

She had no idea what was actually happening, the last thing she remembered was falling asleep and now she seemed to be looking at Vlad from centuries ago. His facial features had remained the same. Now his blonde hair stopped at his shoulders, his eyes were a deep blue rather than the familiar stony grey. Standing he shivered while he desperately attempted to find a way to break the chains restraining him. He was strong even then but not strong enough. Blood pooled on both of his wrists where the shackles had embedded into his skin. As he calmed she heard the drip, drip of blood hitting the floor.

She watched almost from a distance amazed that she could hear his thoughts, she could grasp his feelings. She knew that initially, he thought his captivity was a prank from his soldier colleagues, yet as the night passed and the hunger struck the doubts crept in. Shouting roused no-one, yanking on the shackle tore at his wrist and still he remained captive. Slowly she watched time speed moving through the hours of his confinement into days, she watched in horror as his desperation increased. Time moved on several days, Beth continued to watch as if it were a movie on fast forward.

The room did not contain any windows leaving him unable to see what time of the day it was. Beth watched his roar of anguish, and more pulling at the shackle, this time success sent Vlad careening face first to the floor.

Standing tall he stretched; she expected him to run out of the room and watched with curiosity as he explored the cellar. He checked the brick walls, the stairs leading out of the room and the floor. He couldn’t see her but she could see him. She didn’t miss the almost feral look on his face, the red of his eyes and the pale skin, so pale it was almost translucent.
