The Request

Chapter Three.

Kain held me in his arms as he moved with inhuman speed through the forest surrounding the Sanctuary and towards the nearest human village. We often raided the villages tiring of the slaves in the dungeons who put up little resistance and needed no stalking. I myself liked to stalk my prey with my sire at my side. Stealthily I would move in for the kill and then faster than the blink of an eye I would be at my victim’s side sinking my teeth into their neck and tasting the sweetness of the thick red liquid as it slid down my throat. After a minute or so I would release my victim leaving them purposefully alive so my sire could taste them also before dropping the lifeless body to the floor and turning his lustful attentions to me desire intense in his eyes, he would pull me to his embrace and kiss me deeply. I would respond and allow his fangs to nick at my mouth allowing his to taste me properly. I would feel him go hard as he pressed himself on me desiring me, needing me, until I would pull away and with a whisper of ‘Not here’ we would then find a more secluded sot in which to continue our lovemaking.

This was just the adventure I was looking for right now as we surveyed the village spread out before us. It wasn’t long before I spotted our first victim. A female walking home probably from a lock-in at the local tavern considering the hour of the night. She walked with a steady pace though and did not sway as she would have done if she was drunk. I looked at Kain and winked at him. After the events earlier with my master and his first lieutenant, I was filled with new desires and thoughts entered my head exciting my senses ready for a new kind of game to be added to the hunt.

I looked over at Kain and he read my expression perfectly. A smile crossed his lips and he nodded his approval at my train of thought. He was obviously becoming aroused again as his pants were beginning to bulge again. I grinned back and we bth started to move silently and stealthily on our victim.

Which a swift move that gave the human no time to cry out she was grabbed round the waist and a hand clamped firmly over her mouth. Swiftly I carried her away into the trees with my sire in hot persuit. I stopped after a suitable distance – far enough for any screams to not be heard from the village – and set her down. She collapsed in a heap at my feet and I regarded her with distain.

Kain reached down and helped her to stand. There was a wicked glint in his eye as he wrapped his arm around her and brushed a stray wisp of hair away from her face. For a human she was quite attractive, auburn hair and soft pale skin covering high cheekbones would make her quite appealing to men and some vampires who liked to indulge in human women or men. As for us two we had only one thought between us. Her blood called out to us in a rhythmic sensual dance we knew all to well and our senses picked up it’s vibration mesmurising us in it’s grip.

I shook my head slightly and signalled to Kain who bent his head and kissed the woman hard on the lips. I stood and watched for a minute or two while the woman relaxed against him responding and pressing herself to him while he probed her with his tongue causing her to moan with pleasure.

This was my signal to begin. With one swift swipe I removed her skirt and bared all she had for me to see. I doubted she even noticed the loss of her garments as she was so wrapped up in the deep kisses of my lover. Reaching round I plunged two clawed fingers deep into her dripping wet and waiting folds. I moved them round in circular movements nicking the tender flesh causing redness to dribble down my hand. I withdrew and licked my finger tasting juices mixed with her blood.

I reached round again and this time undid the leather ties binding his pants round his hips and slid them off freeing the throbbing rod before guiding him towards her waiting moist slit which was by now dripping. Reaching down without breaking the kiss, lover raised her legs round his waist where she locked her ankles together behind his back. He brought her down hard on his waiting member and she crout out with the pain as he filled her and began to lift her up and down on him still never breaking the kiss.

I watched them for a few seconds and sensing she was nearing her climax I stood up and moving towards her I massaged her breast tenderly before viciously sinking my fangs into the tender flesh and feeling the rush of warm fluid rush into my eager mouth. Kain must have felt her body go rigid with the pain I inflicted on her because he finally released her from his kiss and sank his fangs into her waiting neck while still thrusting into her. We could feel her life ebbing away and we finally let her slump to the floor.

Our passion not yet sated we turned and fell on each other like two animals on heat. With lightening speed he thrust himself into me harder and harder until I was almost delirious with pleasure. I opened my eyes long enough to see his waiting neck hovering just above mine. Heady with the human’s blood I longed for the taste of him and so I sank my fangs into his neck. His blood tasted so sweet to me as it rushed down my throat coursing through my body taking me again to the heights of passion only he could induce.

I had hardly noticed his own fangs in my neck drinking up the very essence of me as we clung together and writhed as I climaxed crying out as he continued to thrust against me for a short while longer until he too filled me with his undead seed.

We lay there for a long time afterwards passion and hunger sated and I realised suddenly it was almost dawn.

‘Kain, the sun is abut to rise!’ I hissed at him snapping him out of his reverie. A look of worry flashed across his face and he scooped me up within his arms and teleported us back to our chambers. Noticeably relieved at having made it back, I watched the object of my desirew thw the hedrapdrapes at the window blocking out the burning destructive sun (The sooner those furnaces were finished the better!) and he came to lay with me on the bed.

Lying there in each other’s arms we fell asleep.

I awoke first as the sun was setting. It was unusual for Kain to still be asleep. The previous night’s excursions must have really worn him out! I did think that probably didn’t happen very often and smiled to myself as I remembered our little threesome with Raziel and the human woman. Yes it had been a night of intense discoveries and I had enjoyed it immensely.

Right now though I felt hungry and leaving my lover sleeping peacefully I stole out into the early evening with the intent of a quick meal as I wanted to get back to Kain and lie in his arms and to feel hirengrength there enveloping me in a cloud of protectiveness and I knew no harm would befall me while he was there at my side.

I found a victim soon enough and, hunger sated, I returned to the Sanctuary to discover Kain still fast asleep and exactly as I had left him. I smiled and stroked his face with my hand. He stirred and opened his eyes to gaze up at me lovingly. He reached his claw up to caress my cheek and I leaned down to brush a kiss on his lips.

‘I have already fed as I know you do not need to for a while at least. Do you fancy a ride?’

It was a beautiful still night, perfect for riding and Kain nodded his agreement at this proposition. He dressed and we exited to the stables and chose our steeds. We mounted and trotted out of the yard and out into the forest. We chose the shortest route out to the open countryside where the wind whipped our hair as we galloped and cantered across landscape that was so beautiful bathed in soft moonlight that it took my breath away.

‘Let’s go this way.’ Kain called to me using the whisper, which with the wind roaring in our ears was the best option. I turned my mount in the direction he pointed and we trotted down a path neither of us recognised as having used before. A forest lay ahead but it was not the one surrounding our home, it was different.

The track narrowed to single file as we entered the trees and stayed that way for a while until it widened out far enough for us to be able to ride side by side. After a while a structure loomed ahead of us. A triangular door with a curious symbol on it was set into the smooth stone walls. We dismounted and secured the horses to a nearby tree.

Walking up to the structure, Kain pushed the door which creaked open to reveal blackness behind. Kain drew the Soul Reaver from it’s usual place on his back and held it tight while holding my hand with his other hand and leading the way into the dark passage. Our vampiric eyesight allowed us to see where we were going and we moved stealthily down the passage way until it opened out into a large chamber with the same symbol on the floor that had been on the entrance door.

‘Well this is new’ I remarked, my voice sounding hollow in the darkened chamber. I saw Kain looking at me with the familiar desire burning behind those amber pools I loved so well.

He walked towards me and lowering his head he kissed me deeply allowing his tongue to work the inside of my mouth and nicking it on my teeth giving me a little taste of him that sent my senses soaring as I kissed him back harder and he pressed into me pushing me backwards until I hit something hard behind me.

‘Lift me up’ I whispered in his ear. He obligingly lifted me up and placed me on the hard object to allow him better access to my waiting folds.

Suddenly the object I was sitting on gave way and I crumpled to the floor wth a gasp of surprise and shock. Kain stumbled away from me, fear in his eyes and alssiossion gone. The chamber was flooded with unnatural light and a giant triangular object above us began to spin as spheres surrounding it also began to spin and turn with the spinning triangle.

Without warning a portal behind Kain opened and he was sucked into it’s depths. Springing up I darted forwards only to find the portal had vanished into nothing and all that I could do was to sit and bury my head in my hands and sob bloody tears that rolled down my cheeks and splashed onto the floor of the chamber staining it red.

Kain was gone.

What was I going to do? This was obviously somrt ort of time-streaming chamber and I realised with a jolt that Kain had been transported through time somehow and right now he would be standing in this very same chamber sometime in the past or future.

I buried my face again and sobbed loudly. My love, my sire and my king had vanished in one half-second of time and all I had was the look of intense fear and shock on his face as he was torn from this time into another.

Despair flooded me, what will I do without my sire to hold me, protect me and give me what I needed most? Which was just having him near to me. I realised that his sword, the Soul Reaver was lying on the floor where it had been discarded in our moment of passion. Seizing the heavy object, I considered impaling myself on it to the hilt as despair washed over me again in a fresh tide I fingered the blade. What would Kain do? He had no weapon and no way to return. This chamber had been set specifically and who was to say this same chamber in another age was set differently?

I stopped contemplating the sharpness of the blade and cradling it against myself, I fled from the chamber and rode back to Sanctuary as fast as my mount could go.

I rushed to Raziel’s private chambers and hammered unmonimoniously on his door yelling for him to come out before I broke down the door. Typical that it was locked just when I really needed him.

The door did open eventually and Raziel’s face peered round. He looked dishevelled and slightly annoyed at the disturbance.

‘Yes what is it? I am rather busy you know.’ Raziel’s expression softened slightly when he saw my face. ‘What is it? What’s the mater?’ he asked sounding worried.

‘It’s Kain, h-he’s gone!’ As I said this a fresh wave of sobs hit me and I sank to the floor at Raziel’s feet like some pathetic human creature about to be devoured. Raziel scoped me up and carried me over to his couch. He growled at the girls to get out all but one whom he grabbed and pushed her over to me.
‘Drink, it will make you feel better and more able to tell me what happened.’ I nodded and drained the girl before sitting up and telling Raziel what had transpired in the last few moments I had seen Kain before he vanished to who knew where.

Raziel held me close and rocked me back and forth against his chest. I found this slightly comforting as kain’s first-born son part of him was Kain’s and so I felt my sire’s presence even if only a tiny bit.

‘It sounds to me like a time streaming chamber.’ His brow furrowed as he tried to think. ‘I know someone who may be able to help, he is a time streamer and he lives in a village far to torthorth called Frikalan. Go there and ask for Geroshir, I am sure he will help you.

I rose and thanked Raziel. ‘Bring him back Mizariah.’ He whispered. ‘I will I promise.’ Seeing him there looking suddenly very vulnerable she embraced him before pecking him on the cheek and hurrying off to accomplish her task.

She had to find Kain and bring him back at all costs, she simply could not live without him.
