I watched my father walk into her room. This was totally unexpected. The servants were supposed to bring her down to him not him go to her. Now he couldn't control what happened to her. I wonder if my father had heard me talking to her. In that case I was in serious trouble. But that was impossible. Father was down in his office just before he went to talk to her. After a few minutes the guard walked out with the servants in tow. My father remained in the room for a few minutes. I watched from my hiding place. After a few minutes he walked out, Serena on his arm with a smile on her face. Something wasn't right. He took a short cut to the bottom of the stairs and made it look like he was coming up the stairs.
“My beauty this is my son Raze” I heard my father say as I approached them. I looked up. She smiled. It was like she didn't recognize me at all.
“Pleasure to meet the son of such a gorgeous man” she said smiling. My father smiled.“Raze join us for breakfast” my father said.
“Actually I've got some business to take care of” I said.
“Well then you will most definitely miss a great breakfast” my father said.I nodded in response. I watched as my father led Serena on. I watched them make their way down the stairs and towards the dining room. He let Serena in first. He turned to look back at me with an evil smile on his face. Something was wrong. Very wrong. It was something my senses weren't picking up. My father walked in and closed the doors behind him. It finally clicked.
“She's under his possession” I said aloud but not loud enough for anyone but myself to hear. This was very bad. My father could make her do whatever he pleased. This made getting her out very difficult.
Serena sat in the room she had woken up in. She was once again alone but now sitting at a vanity staring at her image. She looked absolutely gorgeous. There was a rock on her finger. An engagement ring. She was marrying Lucian. She has never met a man so...so extraordinary. So different So perfect. He promised her a life of riches and good fortune. He promised to take care of her forever. She smiled at that. Today he showered her with gifts after their serious grand breakfast where he confessed his love for her. What a silly man. There was a knock on her door. She got up and opened it. Raze stood there.
“May I come in” he asked.
“I'm sorry I'm not supposed to talk to you without your father present. He is such a wonderful man” she said.
“Oh alright” he said. She closed the door and walked over to the window. She didn't hear the door open again or Raze sneak into her room. He walked up behind her and hit her in the head with his head with such force she fell to the ground unconscious.
Raze scooped her up into his arms bridal style. He carried her over to the empty short walk in closet. He closed the door behind him. He tapped a normal looking floor board with his foot and it popped up. It was the size of an attic door. It had stairs leading down. He walked down those stairs. And pulled the door closed behind him locking it from this side. He walked down the steep wooden stairs into the cool dampness. It was dark yet he could see perfectly fine. He walked down the corridor until he came to the cellar. He set Serena down in a chair. He pushed a shelf out of the way to reveal a door. He opened the door and looked out. It was raining and dark. It was cool. Thalia and Damon stood there waiting patiently. They looked at Raze when the door opened.
“Where's Serena is she okay?” Damon asked. “She's fine physically but my father today had possessed her mind. I don't know if or when she wakes up if she'll still be under his influence. Damon you have to know that the bond between soul mates, may not be able to break the hold. I don't know if my father is going to make her do anything. I think he found out somehow that I spoke to her earlier before she saw him.”
“Where is she?” Damon asked. Raze walked back into the cover room. He picked up Serena from where she had been in the chair. He handed her over to Damon. Damon looked down at her. She looked fine and he felt better now that she was in his arms. Raze pulled Thalia into a hug.
“Are you okay” Thalia asked him.
“Yes I'm fine. If my father finds out I helped you I may not and if his guards find us we won't be” Raze said.“Your right lets get out of here” Damon said.
Thalia led the way back to the hidden carriage a few miles from where they had met Raze.
Lucian smiled as he watched his son leave with the vampires and his fiance. Things were perfectly falling into place except for the fact that his son had betrayed him. But he would deal with that later. When Serena woke up Damon would die and she would find her way back to him and he would then keep his end of the promise to make her his queen.
“My lord they've escaped” a man said kneeling before Lucian.“Let them escape. Keep your eyes out for my son and the girl” Lucian said.
“As you wish my Lord” the man said. He stood and bowed before leaving the room.
Dalkieth – Serena's POV
When I awoke my head was extremely sore. When I woke up I wasn't in my room in Moremead. I was in Damon's room in Dalkieth. Damon. Without moving I looked beside me. He laid there asleep. Out of nowhere a wooden stake appeared in my hand. I placed the stake over his heart and brought my hand back ready to strike. His eyes opened and he looked at me with complete ease. Like he had predicted that it would happen.She couldn't feel his emotions.
“Go ahead” he said. “Do it, I Dare you”
