New beginings for a tortured soul chapter 2
Chapter 2
New Friends, New Family, and a New Beginning to Life
Nick: the 25 year old man just looked at his boss, Mark, in his hunched over position as he worked on opening the main doors of his store " hey Mark what happen to you, it looks as though you were hit by a bull or something?"
Mark: "I was forced to sleep on the floor again."
Nick: "ok, so what did you do this time to deserve that?" he asked in a slightly mocking tone of voice.
Mark: "how the hell am I supposed to know, all that stupid woman kept doing was yelling at me for being a lazy bum and a jerk." "crap."
Nick: "here let me get those for ya." he said as he picked up the fruit that his boss had just knocked onto the ground.
Mark: "hey I could of gotten those you know."
Nick: "ya and you would have made your back even worse too."
Mark: "the day that I am no longer able to pick up my fruit is the day this store is completely yours and I making sure that day doesn't come for a long time."
Nick: "hey I'm not that bad at running..." he was interrupted as something caught his attention "hey stop you little thief!" he screamed as he saw a small fox girl run out of the doors with a pile of money.
Furling girl: "oh no they saw me!"
Mark: "what the hell, just don't stand there go after her you idiot, that means you as well Sam!"
Sam: "but."
Mark: "just do it Sam!"
Nick and Sam chased the small furling out into the streets.
Nick: "some one catch that furling!" he screamed at the top of his lungs but to no avail. All the locals just went about their own business and decided not to get involved.
Sam: "stupid son of bitches."
The furling then turned into an ally and headed east into a forest near the kingdom Krelm.
Now panting from her fleeing, she continued on into the forest dodging past trees and rocks. For several minutes she made her way into the vast expanse of wilderness leaving footprints in the mud behind her. She quickly approached a large log and attempted to jump over it but her left foot got hung up on a branch. She tripped and landed on her face. "ow" she said as she rubbed her nose. She tried to free her foot from the log but her shaking made it very difficult.
Sam: "stop you little brat!".
She came to an old abandoned castle where she saw two doors with carvings on them. Without hesitation she pushed on one of the doors. It opened and she slipped in. There was no time to think for her since the two men were on her tail. She went to one of the back corners behind a stair case and curled up into a ball hoping that she wouldn't be found. Just a minute later the two men entered the great doors of the castle.
Nick: "you better show yourself right now if you know what is good for you."
Sam: "look here you little bitch if you don't show yourself right now we are going to make your life a living hell!"
The small furling girl didn't move or even speak as fear took over her entire body. She began to tremble and cry from fear of what the two men might do to her. Even as the two men came closer to her hiding spot she stayed still just wishing to be back with her now dead parents. Soon she felt the presence of the men standing over her, looking her over as they made their plan of action.
Nick: "come on furling give back the cash ." he said as he tried to pry the money out of her dirty hands, but she continued to hold on to the money with all her might. Her paw like hands soon gave out and she relented the money to them. "5..20..50..100..200..450 tairents," "she stole four hundred and fifty tairents!"
Sam: "WHAT, holly shit you can by an entire harem of slaves with that type of money!" he meekly screeched as he almost choked on his own spit. "what the hell are you trying to do to us little girl, are you trying to get us fired?"
Nick: "hold on Sam"
Sam: "what?"
Nick: "think about it, she is a homeless furling."
Sam: "a slave!"
Nick: "considering she stole so much from us lets make her ours."
Sam: "that sounds like a good plain to me ha ha."
Nick: "now let us make her ours ha ha ha."
Nick and Sam each grabbed one of the furling's legs and dragged her over to the center of the room.
The shadows and the walls were becoming more uneasy as they felt a presence in their master's castle.
Shadows: "there is something in the castle and I think we should check it out."
Walls: "I think you are right, I sense something is amiss in the castle as well."
The shadows within the room disappeared and reformed in the shadows under the staircase. There they saw two men drag a fox like creature out from underneath the stair case, screaming and fighting for all it was worth. It was then that they saw the men rip off the cloths it was wearing and begin to restrain her. They began to spread her legs apart while howling like wolves on a full moon. Soon the shadows decided to help the poor furling.
Trisha: "HELP ME, PLEASE!"
Sam: "shut up you bitch." he said as he smacked her across the face.
Nick: "hurry up and get to it Sam so I can have a taste of that pretty little snatch."
Sam: "hold on dam it I want to toy with her first before I fuck her!" "man she has a sweet looking little slit, I bet its really tight haha!"
Shadow 1: "what in the world is that poor thing?"
Shadow 2: "I don't know but I know what those two men are about to do to it, if we don't stop them."
Shadow 3: "I think we better help it before anything happens."
The shadows flew across the floor towards the men and pounced upon them.
Nick and Sam: "aaaaaaaaa," but their screams were concealed by the castle walls
Nick: " what the h...mummmum," he is cut off by one of the shadows placing its essence over his mouth.
Shadow 1: "please remain silent sir."
Sam: "mummummum," Sam doesn't even get a chance to say anything as he too has his mouth covered by one of the shadows.
The shadows dragged the men across the oak floor to the adjacent wall, where they picked them up and suspended them in mid air. All the while the screams of the furling could be heard in the grand castle as she watch the men be taken away by unearthly beings of darkness. The one shadow that didn't have a human in the grip of his essence disappeared back to the chamber to explain what had happened while another shadow went over to the furling girl to comfort it. But the furling was only more terrified by the shadow and screamed for her dear life.
Walls: "it is time we wake the master for it has been 400 yrs since he was last awake and I think it has been long enough for him to sleep away his pains."
Shadow 3: "I agree, but how do you think we should go about waking him." "I mean this is the first time we would have woken him out of a slumber."
Shadow 4: "and don't forget that he never told us how in the first place."
Walls: "that is going to make things difficult?"
Shadow 3: "yes it is."
Walls: "I do have one idea." "couldn't you enter his mind through his dark thoughts."
Shadow 3: "I guess but I have never done it before." "I'm not sure what would happen."
Walls: "well it shouldn't be any different then when you travel through shadows." "I mean the dark areas in a mind are like shadows so it should work."
Shadow 3 and 4: "that makes sense, I guess it is worth a try."
One of the shadows disappeared and focused its self into the dark reassess of Venuse's mind. Searching for the evil and sadness that resides in all people's hearts. He found himself surrounded by past pains and past tragedies. All around him he saw sadness but new he needed to find Venuse with in this place of dark emotions. It was then that he saw Talya being chased while two other people were being brutally beaten with maces by four cloaked figures. He saw Venuse in the market place witnessing the murders through his mind. The shadow went to Venuse and gently touched his shoulder.
Venuse: "aaaayyyy!" he screamed as the touched of the shadow contradicted what actually happened. "what are you doing here, why have you disturbed me?" he asked with a bit of anger emanating from his voice.
Shadow 4: "listen master it is time you wake up from this horrible place and there are people in your castle." "not only that but two of them were trying to rape some type of fox creature and it needs your help, I mean we cant just throw the thing out, especially since it may be hurt." "so please my master come with me and wake up."
Venuse: "I cant leave I need to stay." "these memories aren't complete, my memories need me to stay, they want me to stay."
His mind had been tainted by the negative energies with in his own memories causing him to lust after the pain and misery that they brought him.
Shadow 4: "please my lord you aren't well you need to leave."
But Venuse was to consumed by the dark emotions to respond and reverted back to the coarse of the memory. Thus becoming a part of the memory once again. The shadow just looked on in aw at the power of the memories on his master and decided that he needed to take Venuse out of the dark part of his mind in order to show him who he is. The shadow grabbed ahold of Venuse, dragging him away from where he thought he needed to be. As he was dragged along the endless space of his mind he kicked and screamed words of death while cursing his loyal shadow for what he was doing to him. It was when the shadow reached the other part of Venuse's mind that Venuse finally regained his mind and sanity.
Shadow 4: "are you ok my lord."
Venuse: "I think so, but where am I."
Shadow: "you are in your mind master, don't you remember that you went into a sleep."
Venuse: "I think I remember." "I'm so sorry for the way I acted towards you my dear friend." "I see now that I have been here a little to long," "by the way how long have I been in my sleep?"
Shadow 4: "aa.. You have been asleep for 400yrs now my lord."
Venuse: "oh my I never wished to spend that long here." "in order for me to leave this place and wake I am going to need to you to first leave here." "unless you want to stay here."
Shadow 4: "there is no way I am staying here," he said and then disappeared back to the real world.
Venuse awoke from his slumber feeling the shock of true movement for the first time in many years. He tried to get up and stand but his body had grow weak in the yrs of sleep. His legs would no longer function and his arms no longer had the strength to support him. Venuse cursed at the frailty of his body.
Venuse: "I think I am going to need a little help from ya guys my body isn't going to do what I want." he said with a slight tone of remorse.
Shadows: "don't worry master we will carry you to where you need."
Venuse: "thank you, old friends."
Venuse was then picked up by the shadows and carried out of the chamber of shadows, down the hallway to the stair case. They proceed down the stairs one step at a time until they reach the middle. The two men saw Venuse being carried down the stairs on his throne of shadows. They both tried to scream but they were muffled by the shadows' essences still over their mouths. Venuse noticed the men on the wall and smiled. The smile was an unnatural one for as the edges of his mouth parted they cracked and split open revealing the teeth that were under the now decaying flesh. The two men just hung there with wide eyes as they watched the figure come closer to them.
Fox girl: "what is that thing?" she thought as she gazed upon the shadows and the man in them.
Her eyes remained fixated on him, scanning every aspect of his almost petrified body. She started at the head looking at his sparsely skin covered skull and the faint wisps of brown hair that were attached to his gray flanking skin. Down she looked noticing the shriveled and sunken eyes within their sockets. Each eye looking like raisins that were dropt into a black bowl. Her gaze reached the remains of a once beautiful black silk and cotton cloak. Its beauty now faded because of time and the blood of the criminals he slayed. Underneath the cloak lay a simple black robe stitched together in a red thread. She continued to look at this creature of death as her fear faded away leaving only curiosity and wonder of what this thing was.
Venuse grabbed a hold of Nick's left arm and cut through the skin of his wrist with his nails, causing a stream of blood to drool down his wrist and arm. Venuse engulfed the mans wrist within his mouth sucked at the life juices that flowed from it. For many minutes he drank until he felt full and withdrew from the man's arm with a look of disgust on his face.
Venuse: "such vile tasting blood, I can tell you are an evil man." he said in a raspy snake like voice "your wickedness shall not go unpunished and as your punishment you shall be my slave." he turned his head to speak to the other man "you shall also be my slave as of this day as well, for I know that you are just as evil." he motioned his shaking left hand over to the chairs "please set me in the chair over their, dear shadows, and you can set the men on the floor but stay on them."
Shadows: "ok master Venuse." "is this one ok my lord?" they asked while placing him gently into an arm chair.
Venuse: "sigh" "this will be just fine and if you want you two can go back to the chamber."
Shadows: "I believe we will stay here to keep an eye on you."
Fox girl: "wh.. What are you going to do to me?"
Venuse: he turned his head and looked at the small creature before him, analyzing every part of her fox like human form. "well I'm not going to hurt you if that is what you think and to be honest I wouldn't mind having a little company, so if you want you can stay here." he said waving to his castle.
He continued to look at her 3 foot 6 frame as he waited for her response. Her entire body was covered in an orange/red fur with a single brown stripe running down the length of her back while her eyes were a soft gray/blue.
Fox girl: "I don't know, how can I trust you?"
Venuse: "I understand but you have my word that I wont try to hurt you in any way."
Fox girl: "I guess so I mean I don't have any other place to go and you did save me from those two men or at least those dark things saved me." "by the way what are those dark things and what are you?"
Venuse: chuckling lightly in a hiss he said "well I am glad to see that you accepted my offer but before I answer your questions, how about you take a seat on one of the other chairs, I mean you might as well make your self comfortable." the young furling stood up shakily and headed towards the chairs. She sat down in a chair to the right of where Venuse was sitting. "good good, now then as for the dark things as you call them, they are shadows that I gave life to through blood magic and I am what used to be called a vampire."
Fox girl: "but I thought vampires couldn't be in the light of day and you are sitting." she was interrupted as she saw Venuse begin to change, his skull disappearing under new skin of a pale color and the old skin of gray slothing off to reveal the new that was underneath. His hair grew in where there was none and change to a deeper color of brown as it thickened to its once true form.
Fox girl "wh.. What is happening to you?" she asked still starring at the vampire.
Venuse: with his voice restored to its clear bass quality he said "first off don't believe what you have heard about vampires." "as for my change, I'm being rejuvenated from the blood I drank earlier." "not to be rude but I am going to have to break our talk for a short while." Venuse got out of his chair and walked over to the two men. "shadows you can take your essence off of their mouths now."
Sam: "wh.. what are you going to do to us?"
Venuse: "as I said before, you are going to be my slaves as of today but first I have to make you two my slaves first, so I thought since I am well enough I better start."
Nick: "I don't understand."
Venuse: "don't worry you will." he said with a grin on his face. Venuse placed his tongue between his upper and lower fangs and applied a small bit pressure causing the fangs to puncture the hide of his tongue. Blood began to flow freely as he began to speak "vee-o-seeos na soima." as the words left his mouth so did energy form around the words and rap around the two men's heads.
The two men look on in a perplexed fear as the mysterious energy surrounded their heads. Their worries and their thoughts faded away as the only thing that remained in their minds was to obey the man before them and the young furling. With their wills gone they just stared into the nothingness with a blank expression on their faces.
Venuse: "ay good the spell has taken effect." he said as he folded his arms across his chest. "ok you two this is what I want you to do, first you will return the money that she stole to the store and then tell your boss that you will need to take the rest of the day off." "if he doesn't let you, do it anyways and then proceed to your immediate families and bring them here along with some food for all of us, that includes the young furling over there on the chair." "second you are to act as you normally would out side this castle as if you weren't my slaves but you are to do as I or the furling says from now on." "third you are to show both me and the furling respect at all times, do you understand every thing I have just said?"
Nick and Sam: in unison "yes master."
Venuse: "good, oh I almost forgot, my name is Venuse Von Creldis just incase anyone asks and you are to tell your families that you took the day off of work to take them to meet me." "ok then shadows you can let them go now." The shadows released the two men and Venuse then went on to say "ok Nick and Sam it is time for you two to get going."
Nick and Sam: "we shall do as you say master Venuse." They proceeded out the main doors.
Venuse headed back over to the chairs and took a seat in his arm chair.
Venuse: "sorry about breaking off the conversation but I really needed to get that done, now then where were we?"
Fox girl: "what just happened?" looking completely confused.
Venuse: "oh you mean what I did to the two men, well I used blood magic to make them our slaves." "it isn't anything special, so how about we introduce ourselves instead." "if you didn't hear me earlier my name is Venuse Von Creldis."
Fox girl: "but.. But you, oh well I guess ill just have to get used to it." "anyways my name is Trisha Johnson."
Venuse: "nice to meet you Trisha and I hope that we can become good friends." "ay darn one of my fangs is broken." "you may want to turn your head."
Trisha: "why?"
Venuse: "I need to take out this broken fang so I can replace it."
Trisha: "are you joking?"
Venuse: "no I'm not joking and if I don't it will be bugging me all day."
Trisha: "cant you wait or something?"
Venuse: "I sorry but I cant wait ,vampires take great pride in their fangs and to have one broken really makes us upset." "I don't know why it bugs us but it does, kinda like needing to pee but not being able to."
Trisha: "couldn't you just use your magic?"
Venuse: "blood magic doesn't work that way with vampires if it did I would use it." "so we have to take out the whole fang so that the blood that created it can replace it." "it may sound a little gruesome but that is the truth."
Trisha: "I guess I understand but it still sounds a little grouse." "I guess you can go ahead and take out the tooth if you want but that doesn't mean I want you to."
Venuse: "ok but it isn't as bad you think it is." Venuse raises his left hand to the right upper part of his jaw and forces the nails of his thumb and first finger into the gum behind his broken fang. He continued to drive the nails up until he got them to the roots. With a single quick yank the broken fang was out without any blood appearing and the new one beginning its creation. After only 10 seconds the new tooth was in place and completely formed. "now then was that, that bad."
Trisha: "hey don't make fun of me." she said with a pout of her face.
Venuse: "ha ha I'm only joking you don't have to take it so seriously." "also before I forget we need to get you some clothes."
Trisha: she looked down and quickly covered herself up "ya I guess so."
Venuse: "although you do look pretty nice with out your clothes on for a kid."
Trisha: "hey I'm not a kid, for crying out loud I'm 10yrs old!"
Venuse: "I'm sorry but to me you look like a kid."
Trisha: "I'll have you know that fox furlings are considered adults at the age of eight and half, it is just that I have been on the streets since I was six be...because." her voice faded to a whisper as she continued "my parents were killed."
Venuse: he slowly walked over and sat down next to Trisha "I'm so sorry I had no idea." "I promise I wont call you a kid again, ok , now then how about we get you some clothes."
Trisha: "sniff.. Sniff ok."
Venuse: "what would you like?"
Trisha: "maybe a black dress."
Venuse: "ok then, if you don't mind following me."
Trisha: "ok."
Venuse got up and walked over to the fire place where there was a stack of fire wood by its side. He then picked up two pieces of the ancient wood and placed them next to Trisha.
Trisha: "why are you placing wood next to me?" she asked with a confused look on her face.
Venuse: "you will see just stand still." with the wood next to the girl, Venuse then placed the tips of both of his first fingers in his mouth. With a small bit of pressure blood began to run freely from his fingers "vania" energy began to flood from his mouth and into the wood. The wood changed into a red shimmering brick of energy. he looked at the energy and the girl and began to move his hands causing the wood to spiral up around the girl. Venuse made many more movements of his hands causing the wood to become feathered, then with more movements the feathers of energy turned to fabric that interwove into each other forming a black dress of silken feathers. "now then how does that look to you Trish?"
Trisha: "it...it's beautiful, I mean words cant even describe it."
Venuse: "I'm glad you like it."
They then heard a knock at the main doors.
Venuse: "YOU CAN ENTER." At once the doors opened and the two families entered into the living room. Nick with his pet Chimdra, a dog/lizard hybrid, and Sam with his wife and daughter. "I am glad that you could all make it." "if you don't mind me asking Sam who are the two young lades?"
Sam: "this is my wife Samantha and this is my daughter Marie."
Venuse: he walked over to Marie "why hello Marie." "and how old are you little one?"
Marie: the little human girl raised here hands up "I'm seven yrs old."
Venuse: "aaww, how cute." "if you want Marie you can go play with Trisha over there near the fire place.
Marie: "mommy can I go play with Trisha?" .
Samantha: "ya I guess so but be careful." she said as she watched her child bound over to the furling. "can you please tell me what is going on?"
Venuse: "please be patient and ill explain why you are here."
Samantha: "I'll try but this is really weird for my husband to be acting like this."
Venuse: "well if this is giving you that much stress then you better sit down for the explanation."
Samantha: "it cant be that bad can it?"
Venuse: "it is, so please let us sit down so I can start."
Samantha: "ok."
Venuse: "that means you two as well."
Nick and Sam: "yes master."
Samantha: "master?"
The four of them headed back over to the chairs and took seats within them. Venuse then told Samantha of two men's actions against the furling and how he made them his slaves.
Samantha: "this cant be true, you have to be joking."
Venuse: "I know this is hard to believe but it is true." "if you need proof I will give it to you."
Samantha: "I think ill need some type of proof, it is just to hard to believe."
Venuse: "ok." "hey shadows come over here and show your self."
Shadows: "coming master." they said as they raced across the walls and floor. The shadows stopped right in front of Nick but were greeted by Nick's pet chimdra.
Chimdra: " bark bark bark."
Venuse: "oh shut up Calla."
Calla: the chimdra just cocked its head as it heard Venuse call its name but it continued to growl at the apparitions. "gggrrrr."
Venuse: "now pick up Nick."
Samantha: as the shadows lifted Nick up into the air she asked in a hysterical voice "w.. wh.. What are those things?"
Venuse: "that is your proof, they are living shadows."
Samantha: "but ..but."
Venuse: "now do you believe?" turning his head away from Samantha "you can let him down now, I think you have proven my word to be true."
Shadows: "ok master, but is there anything else that you need of us?"
Venuse: "not that I can think of but thanks for asking."
The shadows placed Nick back down into the couch and returned to the shadows in the corners.
Samantha: "what am I supposed to do now?"
Venuse: "well you can stay here if you want."
Samantha: "but what about Nick and Sam?"
Venuse: "what about them, I mean as of now if I told them to piss on each other they would do it with no hesitation." "so basically all they can do is do as I say and knowing that I don't have to worry."
Samantha: "I just don't know if I could live with them knowing they tried to rape Trisha."
Venuse: "I know how you feel but please at least try staying here, who knows you might like it here." "well any ways how about we move on to other topics like food, because I am sure the others are hungry and I could use something good to eat as well."
Samantha: "ya I guess we should get off of this topic but I thought."
Venuse: "that vampires only drank blood." "that was what you were going to say right?'
Samantha: "ya."
Venuse: "first things first forget the old myths, now some of the old myths are true but a good number of them are wrong or just plain silly." "I'll tell you and the others of vampires later but for right now lets just eat."
Samantha: "ok."
Venuse: "Nick and Sam get the food and follow me." "hey Trisha, Marie if you two are hungry you might want to follow me."
Trisha and Marie: they both shouted in unison "hey wait for us."
They all formed a line behind Venuse not really knowing where he was going to take them. Venuse made his way up the stairs he came down just a short while ago. It was then that the three girls noticed the multiple doors with inscriptions on them.
Samantha: "what are all these doors for?" she asked not knowing what the inscriptions said.
Venuse: "these are what are known as existence rooms, each is marked in Vermish of what each room stands for." "this one for example is marked garden." "if you were to walk into there you would enter an endless room filled with growing fruits, vegetables, and herbs." "now I know that you cant read the inscriptions but ill add translations to the doors later on so you don't have to worry about what door is what."
Trisha: "what is vermish?"
Venuse: "Vermish is the language of the vampires and was created by Argus Von Draigus the father of all vampires." "now there is one room I don't want any of you to enter and that is the door at the very end of the hall." "that room is called the legacy room and should only be entered by me and no one else." "there are things in that room that can hurt you" "do you all understand that you are not to enter that room?"
Nick and Sam: "yes master Venuse."
All girls: "yes."
Trisha: "but what is in the room?"
Venuse: "I cant tell you that." he kneeled down to Trisha and placed his hands on her shoulders "but please promise me that you wont go in there."
Trisha: "I promise."
Venuse: "thank you." he got up and continued their walk.
Trisha: "so did you use blood magic to make these rooms?"
Venuse: "actually I didn't, I used sorcery."
Trisha: "why didn't you use blood magic to make the rooms?"
Venuse: "well to put it simple blood magic doesn't work that way."
Trisha: "so what can blood magic actually do?"
Venuse: "you know what, you ask a lot of questions but anyways blood magic allows some one to alter the energy and physical form of the natural and the unnatural."
Trisha: "sorry about all the question but I am interested in it."
Venuse: "that is ok but lets keep our minds on food."
They all reach the door Venuse was taking them to.
Venuse: "here we are every one."
Samantha: "what's in this door?"
Venuse: "don't worry you will see."
Venuse opened the fifth door to the right and they were all hit by a great blast of light. Their eyes slowly adjusted to the new ambiance and they all saw the vast rolling plains that existed in the room. For miles the hills stretched on while the only vegetation that covered them were grass, a few trees and flowers. He then led them to a small hill with a flat top to where they could sit and eat. They all took a seat and gazed at what they saw before them.
Marie: "pretty."
Venuse: "ha ha thank you I tried my best to make it nice."
Samantha: "this is simple amazing but how did you fit all this in your castle?"
Venuse: "I didn't have to make it fit, it only takes the space of a single floor tile." "well then how about we go ahead and eat." "Nick Sam you can go ahead and set the food down."
Nick and Sam: "yes master." they both complied and set the food down for every one to enjoy.
Samantha: "here you go Venuse." she said as she handed him a sandwich. "I remembered you said you would like something to eat."
Venuse: "why thank you Samantha." he then opened the sandwich and took the meat that was in it and gave it to Calla.
Samantha: "is there something wrong with the salami?"
Venuse: "no I just can't eat it."
Samantha: "why?"
Venuse: "if a vampire consumes the blood of the dead he will become a type of semi immortal." "believe me it isn't very pleasant."
An hour went by and they finally finishing eating. They gathered up the left over food that they didn't finish and head back to the door. Venuse told the families to head back home for the night and to return after Nick and Sam got off of work. Nick and Sam's families made their way to the main doors and back to their homes. While Venuse and Trisha made their way down the stairs to the living room. Venuse soon laid down in one of his couches, wishing for sleep to take him away from the long hard day.
Venuse: "sigh." but soon Trisha followed jumping into his lap "ugh." he grunted as the wind was knocked out of him from the weight of Trisha landing on him. "hey I may be immortal but I can still be hurt!"
Trisha: "sorry."
Venuse: "you could of just asked."
Trisha: "I know but I felt weird asking."
Venuse: "it's ok but I don't know how comfortable you will be, sleeping on me."
Trisha: "I think ill be ok."
He lightly encircled her small frame within his arms and began to hum a soothing melody to her. Her eyes became heavy and she fell asleep within his embrace. But sleep didn't come easy to Venuse as he was reminded of his wife as he held Trisha within his arms.
Venuse: "Tayla." he whispered to himself as he closed his eyes.
i hoped u like it i dont know when ill post my 3 chapter i still want to work on it to makew it better.
