TAKEN BY THE DRAGON KING

CHAPTER FIFTY ONE

Elena

The Night howled with a fierceness, a sort of crazed frenzy if one could have said and it absolutely set me on a rage, my entire body and senses tingled with a manic delight if you’d have it that way, one that left my teeth gnashing and my eyes bloodshot, something or someone was coming, I could feel it, smell it and taste it to the point of anticipation and it kept me awake.

The wind sieved in through the cracks in the walls and Windows playing a tune and whispering in a strange tongue save for one clear word.

“Elena!” It roared howling a tune to which the rustling of the nearby trees served as the drums.

The old Granny had ordered me stay off the woods at night, ‘treacherous woods’ she had called them ‘filled with even more treacherous creatures’, every tale made her believe death came with the night but the woods would not leave me alone eventually it built up roaring into a swirling crescendo that I could no longer take much less contain and before I could regain my sanity the bolt was unlatched and I’d broken the unspoken rule.

The woods sang with a joy delighted at my defiance and dragging me further in and underneath the moonlight my magic shone fiercely like an awakening I had never known, it almost seemed evil of Granny to keep me away from this for so long, what fierce power the night had brought me and I was content to bask in it.

“This way.” The woods whispered. “Almost there.”

The wind blew me forward towards a darker portion of the woods and through my magic I could see various spectrum of color, a trail of light calling me, beckoning me to come closer, with a palpitating heart I took off in a run headed towards the direction of the whispers and the light, the wind pushed me forward gleefully whistling it’s tune, I picked up the pace the branches pricking hard against my feet, the thorns pricking hard, tearing up my flesh but still I ran with a madness, my feet pacing with the furious tempo of the wind, it all swelled up to a crumbling crescendo as the light trail finally came to rest on the familiar figure of a man.

He was hunched over and his body shook closely with what resembled grief and as he stopped and turned towards me, his all familiar molten yellow eyes all too bloodshot, I could feel my breath hitch in my throat and just for a second the world seemed to stop the fast paced trees slowing down as it stared into eyes that I had thought were lost forever, my mind refusing to accept the reality that stood before me.

“Dracul.” I finally let myself say. “Dracul!”

With a blinding speed, I ran into his arms, locking him in a tight embrace as if the very apparition of him disappear again into nothingness if I held on a little looser as I sobbed heavily into his shoulders, his arms wrapped around me tightly too and the forest rejoiced having reunited them again.

“Dracul.” I whispered pulling back to stoke his chin lovingly

The beat of the night changed once more as he claimed my lips, the atmosphere changing as the husky aroma sex filled the air, he kissed me with a ferocity, his touches conveying all of the harshness and sorrows he’d endured and I responded kissing him back with just as much fervor.

“Elena.” He growled hard against me feeling my skin finding it just as supple and soft as he’d remembered me and there was nothing gentle, no foreplay involved in this, our clothes tore off hot and fast and the groaned in relief as he found my inner folds weeping pleasurably for him, pinning me down and clamping his mouth hard against my neck.

The forest weeped joyfully at the rawness of our pleasure we lay conjoined as he pushed in hot raw and fast strokes that brought tears to my eyes my hands raking and clawing against his back as I uttered incomprehensible words moans and groans filled the air and with a loud grunt that echoed through the woods we climaxed peaking at orgasmic bliss he collapsed heavily on top me and our breaths synced as we fell from cloud nine.

“Elena.” He breathed my name. “I love you.”

There was a smile atop our faces and we stayed in silence only the sound of our breaths and the occasional rustling in the bushes, we would have stayed that way forever if not for the crunching sound behind us, in a haste we took up a protective stance, forgetting our clothing, we were barely covered up save from sparse clothing and the incoming darkness doing well to cover them.

“Didn’t I tell you not to leave the house girl?” Granny’s voice floated into the clearing as she stood menacingly towering above us. “To come out on the witching hour alone and in the dark, just how much do you crave your death?”

Dracul let out a sound too animalistic to be a growl and she stepped out from the shadows her look domineering and harsh radiating an equal amount of bloodlust as Dracul.

“Calm your man Elena.” Se says. “Before there’s little left of him to fuck.”

I placed a hand on Dracul’s chest giving him a small smile to let him know she was ok as she took a step and then another towards Gulliver’s grandmother.

“I would like to introduce you to Dracul the drag-” I began.

“I know who he is.” Came her heavy reply. “My grandson won’t stop yapping about how high and mighty he is, in flesh well he’s just that flesh, I would like to know what possessed you to leave, knowing fully well how dangerous any affiliations with this man is!”

“What do you mean?” I ask skeptical with anger rising inside of me. “He’s here isn’t he? Everything has been for him, your training, putting up with your crazed notions, everything has been to get him home to me, He’s here I found him, soooo-”

“He’s danger Elena.” She says looking Dracul squarely in the eye. “You’re not ready to face danger yet.”

One look at me and she could tell that I wasn’t budging, her eyes narrowed in on Dracul glaring daggers in him whilst I stepped back and clasped his hands around mine tightly.

“Fine.” She caves. “Do whatever it is you want for all I care march him right down to my house so we can all be hunted together, I’m sure my old sagging flesh would do for a wonderful feast add that to the potential on you killing us all would you, Fuck! You’re way more trouble than Gulliver”

She turned muttering something about me being insufferable and I couldn’t help but smile and although I was pretty sure she meant bringing Dracul in as sarcasm, I dragged him along anyways all the way to. our old cottage, it seemed pretty unreal that we were reunited again and all that was left was to take out that fucking bitch.

****

Queen of the west.

Anger blazed inside of me, threatening to tear through the entire Kingdom and raging onwards like a tornado.

“How the fuck did you let them escape?” I growled loud and hard at the twin brothers who quickly recoiled back in fear of my wrath. “And Jakob I’m so-”

“I-it’s b-been taken c-care of ma’am.” The eldest of the twins stuttered. “I felt my chains absorb his life force a moment ago.”Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

The rage tapered down for a moment but ever so slightly, the more I reasoned their inefficiency, the more I burned on the inside, I had had it and heads would positive roll starting with-

“My lady.” My confidant Kimiko says bowing. “Perhaps it is not an overall loss, the twins did get a glimpse of the false Dragon kind landing in the forests of Neverwood then perhaps all is not wasted, surely he must have found his way towards-”

“Ol’ granny.” I complete from her, and I feel a devilish smile come on. “Two ripening fruit with one stone, what a proper blessing indeed.”

“Yes my lady.” Kimiko says bowing lightly. “It follows your plans eventually.”

The anger seemed to fade quickly after that, in fact everything else seemed to come into perfect play, two cornered beasts who had no idea how trapped they were, a fitting end to the murderer and traitor.

“You will not fail me again.” I turned to both boys as they stood eyes averted from my fiery gaze. “We will be on the hunt soon, you’ll accompany me, redeem yourself in a manner of speak but after your punishment.”

No sooner had to he words left my mouth when the fiery whip lashed out from the shadows curling hard around both their necks and dragging them back.

“Let this be a lesson to you.” I say over their screams and sizzling flesh. “Do not fail me.”

I can’t help the smile that comes to my face as they hail me, Enjoy your days Elena you have so few of them left.
