Captives
Freda's POV
I could not tell how long I had been here.
It was foolish of me to think he was going to let my mother go upon my arrival. When I read the note, all the blood drained from my body. First, it was out of shock that Damien's Uncle was behind it, and upon getting here I also realized he knew of my plan all along. I was such a fool trying to get him to like me because he was the only family member of Damien.
The door to what seemed like a dungeon opened and I held my mother tighter, she still hadn't woken up.
"Here is something for you to eat," Williams said, appearing behind the door.
"I don't want anything from you!" I yelled and he chuckled, he looked different from the Williams that night who had talked with me at the dining table. His eyes held menace and chaos.
"Well your mother would need it, I seem to remember her asking for water to drink before I knocked her out cold-"
"Fuck you!" I spat out. It was a curse word I learned subsequently at college.
"If only Damien hadn't, I maybe would have. " he snickered throwing the usual lustful eye. "Anyways what was I saying ahah, I didn't realize how fragile humans are, I expected her to fight back not drop to the ground like a sack of potatoes. I knew then that killing her would be no fun," he said, his eyes holding a glint of mischief and excitement in them, he was enjoying this.
"W-why are you doing this, I thought you loved Damien, he's your nephew, he loves you," I said, my heart was breaking so bad that it felt like I was losing breath, I was scared too and I missed Damien.
"My nephew doesn't know anything. He thinks about his lower member and why he didn't see any of this coming. I tried to make his father take the throne as a facade but that dog is exactly like his son so I had to finish him up for Damien. I still wonder why Damien was waiting to finish him, let's hope I don't have to finish you up for him," he said smiling and my stomach churned.
"You are disgusting!" I yelled and my mother stirred in her sleep. I curled her hands in mine, supporting her head with my arm.
"Are you okay?" I asked and she shook her head.
"Hell, that hurts!" She grumbled, trying to sit up.
"While it is nice to see you both reuniting, I have things to do" Williams walked out, only then did I realize I had been holding my breath, but it was out of anger, that I couldn't stop fuming.
"W-what happened?" My mother asked, sitting up and I couldn't talk. I pulled her into my arms and hugged her. It was my fault she was here, it was my fault for a lot of things but I was going to make sure I got us out of here, one way or the other.
"I'm sorry I put you in this mess" I apologized.
"No Freda, none of this is your fault baby."
"No, it is. I am the main reason why everyone is after you. If I hadn't come, you would have been left out of this."
"Freda, don't speak like that. I am glad you came back into my life, I am glad you want me and searched for me. We're in this together right?"
"Yes, we are" I sobbed.
"We are going to get out of here, that I am certain. We might just leave with a lot of injuries…" I chuckled and she continued. "Winston might be married to someone else, but he sure wouldn't leave his daughter in tough times."
"Only if he knew that I was kidnapped, mother," I muttered.
"He's going to have a feeling…just somehow."
"You trust him that much? You see he hasn't been so nice to me since you left us."
"But deep down he loves and was looking out for you."
Father indeed showed signs that he loved me when we were at the Vampire kingdom, but I didn't think it was enough to fill the scar of loneliness imbibed in me from a young age.
"Mum, if you were to get back with Father, would that be possible?" I asked.
Her mind trailed for some second as a yawn escaped her mouth. "Freda, your father is still married. I am still human, the elders would not accept that I come back into his life. The torment would continue, it would affect you also, there would be barely any peace in the house."
"Forget about anyone else Mother. Would you like to go back to him?"
"How could I forget about everyone else, that's not a proper way to build a family."
"These people don't care about you, so why should you?" I snapped, my tone raised.
She tried to speak but I cut in again. "Lady Amelia cheated on Father," I said, a tiny light glimmered from her eyes as she remained shocked. "Not the only kiss type of cheat mother, she slept with Williams! The stupid asshole that put us in this dungeon!" If there was one thing I learned from the human world it would be to express my anger with curse words that sounded like a melody to my ears.
"Freda…"
"I haven't told father about it. But they don't deserve to have a family with him. I want you, him, and me back again, away from the negativities"
I wanted the hole in my heart closed, this feeling of not feeling fulfilled and accepted caused me to escape. I couldn't keep running, I wanted a good life. I wanted a family too.
My mind shifted back to Damien. I hadn't seen him since I was in the human world. Did Verestina perhaps tell him that I had planned all the escape myself and he was angry with me? Angry that he cared for me and I still left.
Had he found another queen? No, that wouldn't be the case. Now that Uncle William planned to take the throne, he must have gotten Damien out of his way. Where was Damien? William would not have killed him, right?
