Trapped in arms of Vampire!!…

*My pained mind strolls through the parts of the forest we were warned never to go to!!...*

**Proserpina**
A wolf and a raven always had a symbiotic relationship that helped them survive. Raven signals the wolf about the prey. Wolf watches, stalks and waits under the black skies' cover to hunt. Once the wolf is done with the hunt, it lets the raven feed. How will a raven survive alone when the big bad wolf is suddenly gone from her life?
Hades thought I would be safer without him, but he doesn't know that the real danger lurks in my nightmares...nightmares that won't let me go.
And now, I am again in the world of my nightmares...at the edge of the same lake brimmed with crystal-clear jade water. I was cuddled like helpless prey on the rocky floor. It was dark, wet and foggy. I could even smell the damp earth and feel the cold penetrating my thin white dress, which I always wear in my nightmares. I was freezing, barely feeling my fingers and toes. I then looked up at the night sky and saw the darker patches of the thick cloud where the moon was trying to break through. Everything looked the same, but the only difference was,
Hades has left.
"Hades, please...please come back!" I screamed out the impossible words as the darkness surrounded me.
'He's gone!' A voice belonging to my mind reminded me.
"No...this is a lie...he cannot go...I'll die..." I muttered.
My nightmares will drag my soul into their underworld and tear me down. And only one man could save me...and now he is gone! Now, there won't be his strong arms that wrap me in a protective stance. There won't be his breathtaking scent that calms my senses, and there won't be his strong heartbeats that sync with mine.
Hades was really gone from my world and had left behind a shell of a girl, who was not only missing half of her soul but also...
The whole of her heart!
I suddenly caught the sight of someone at a distance, making their way through the trail. I frowned at first, trying to make sense of what I saw. Because it couldn't be, I must be seeing things. I squinted and shook my head a little, now running towards him, crying out his name,
Hades!
The moment I cried out his name, the silhouette turned towards me. He motioned with his hand as if signalling me to follow him. I started to move steadily, as if in a trance. As I walked through the trail, I could feel eyes watching me. Fear crawled up my spine, telling me without words that this was wrong. I continued despite the silent warnings of my brain. The moon sneaked out from behind the rolling clouds. The light was enough for me to see my surroundings. He was taking me behind a weeping willow.
I closed my eyes, inhaled a deep breath and took my steps. As I moved ahead, I noticed that the grey surroundings were turning into a midnight shade of black. The small plants, bushes and grass died and crumbled in on themselves. It seemed like an infection was spreading into the dark woods.
"Come to me." I jumped when I heard a luring voice from behind the weeping willow. I was unsure if it belonged to Hades because of the muffling effect of the echo.
"Come see me." The voice hummed again. Although the voice appeared soft, I knew that the person behind that voice was angry and was on the edge of roaring at me. I moved closer to the tree through the thick blanket of branches and the crunching of the leaves.
"Hades!" I murmured as the silhouette of the man came into view.
"Come closer, Melinoe." The voice was louder and creepier.
"That's...that's not my name," I told him, stuttering at the first word, wondering why he called me that.
"I know who you are!" He roared, and his hand snapped out as he grabbed and yanked me towards him.
"Hades?" I shuddered, holding myself around my belly, shivering in the cold.
"Call me master!" He ordered with a demonic roar.
"Master..." I mumbled, sucking in sharp breaths.
"Better," The shadow snarled, grinding its teeth in frustration.
He was my master, always accompanied by his shadow Dracula. His features were concealed as always, but his deep-set eyes were blood-shot red. He closed on the distance, flushing his body to mine as if he had the right to do so. His immense shadow loomed over me, shadowing me with darkness. I struggled in a feeble attempt to free myself, but the pain shot through my arms. My heart beat wildly, and I thought it might pop out and hit the floor.
He wasn't wearing any clothes, at least on the upper torso; I was unsure about his lower body, but I could feel his naked thighs crushing mine. His hair was much longer, giving him a sharper appearance. He looked like a deadly predator with his big, toned arms around me, bulging his muscles. I looked around the forest to take a much-needed breath away from his scrutinizing glare. It appeared like a darker and deadlier version of the dark woods. It smelled of blood and death. Carcasses of thousands of years old trees spread evenly through the forest. I almost pleaded a 'please' when he pulled me tighter.
"I'm afraid not, my dear butterfly." That voice from my nightmares has come back to haunt me. This couldn't be real.
"Vlad!?" I said without asking.
"Of course, who else would go to such lengths for you?" The intensity of his words was hitting my face.
"What do you want?" I stated, barely letting the words out.
"You...say you are mine...Now!" He shouted and squeezed his grasp tighter, forcing his body on me, his muscular body touching every inch of mine. He was indeed naked, as I could feel his solid muscular dick hitting the juncture between my thighs. I closed my eyes, and a stream of liquid came running down the corner of my eyes. I was thanking my stars for the thin piece of cloth that acted as a barrier protecting my honour or whatever was left of it. I was aware of the desperation of my situation, but there was no way I was giving up. I will fight till my last breath and embrace death, but I won't let this monster claim me against my wishes.
"Never!" I said, barely moving my lips. His eyes narrowed as his anger grew, but he gave that sadistic smile.
"Do you really think so, silly girl? I will mess up your body and crush your wings. Poor little butterfly!" Although his face was always shadowed, I could make out his grin, halfway smile and halfway threat.
"Wh...where is Hades!" I asked in a sobby tone. At the mention of Hades' name, he cocked his head at me as if asking silently if I had a death wish.
"Dead...soon," He said, curling his lips up, flashing his deadly fangs.
"How dare you!" I shouted. I acted on the first impulse by dragging my hand back and then swinging it toward his face. His hand snatched up, catching my hand before it could hit him. Then he turned his face, bringing it closer to mine. I moved to take a step back, but he twisted my arm. I cried in pain as he smirked, showing me the glint of his fangs and warning me that his teeth could easily cut through my flesh and bone. However, his other features were still mainly lost to the dark.
"You cannot fight me," He stated with a growl.
And I wanted to say, well, duh. Who in their mind would fight a vampire who looked stuffed up with steroids?
"Let me go! You're hurting me!" I shouted up at him as I fought against him to free myself. But he tightened his grip further.
"Don't you dare take any other man's name from your mouth!" He roared at me, lowering my face so I could taste his breath.
"Hades...Hades...Hades!!!" I screamed, barring my teeth.
"Very well, your choice has been made, one you will soon regret." His face went hard, and his fangs descended, piercing through my skin. A tremendous pain shot through my body as though I were receiving full power shock therapy. I tried to scream, cry out and yell, but nothing came. I was getting weaker and weaker, and I was running out of air. My chest constricted and ached for oxygen. I breathed a lungful of bitter air, like breathing through a blood mist.
"Let me go!" I said, trying to struggle.
"How about I let your blood go instead?" Vlad spoke with deadly calm, holding my neck to the point I could barely breathe. He brought his face closer to mine and sneered, saying, "Let's see how fast you bleed." He dug his fangs deeper, and the searing agony had me screaming till my lungs burned. My legs gave out as I limped into his hold, and my vision blurred. I drew a deep breath and tried to block out the throbbing pain in my body.
"Vlad! Please!!" I screamed in pain before hitting the ground.

*The lair is empty, as the vampire lurks in the nightmares!!...*
