THE VAMPIRE'S FATED BRIDE

HIDDEN TRUTH

"Tell me who sent you. Tell me now!" I yelled at William as I realised I might have been deceived into coming here. What exactly was I thinking? I had killers on me and I still decided to follow a total stranger back to his house. He could easily be a killer, how could I tell otherwise? And what was this thing about me being his wife? It was as funny as it was crazy!

"Calm down Lisa. I do not really understand what you are talking about." He said to me. I could see the confusion on his face but I was not ready to let that fool me. Not again.

"I will call the cops on you. Did you kidnap me? is that what this is?" I asked him and crossed my hands, demanding an answer.

"I already told you it isn't."

"Then what is this? I do not understand and please do not even start with the crazy talk again because I will head into the rain if you do. I do not have time for this." I insisted, and for a moment, William was silent. His face told me there was a lot going through his mind and after a period of weird silence between us, he suddenly chuckled and burst out laughing.

I was confused. I did not recall saying something so funny. He kept on laughing until he took his seat and looked at me with a smile on his face

"Now that was entertaining. You should have seen the look on your face." He said and laughed again. Did he make that up? I slowly began to calm down and I walked back towards my seat.

"Was that for show?" I asked him, a smile creeping on my face now

"Ofcourse it was. Did you think any of those crazy things I said were true?"

"I was not going to believe it if that's what you're asking. But you really freaked me out." I let my purse down and looked into his eyes. Those eyes, why were they so captivating?

"I know. I am sorry. I just wanted to cheer you up in a way and that was the best I could come up with. I'm sorry I upset you..."

"No-no, it's alright. Truth be told, I actually quite enjoyed it." I confessed.

"You did?"

"Yeah."

And then came another moment of awkward silence. I felt like he was hiding something from me. You know that feeling you get when someone isn't Totally honest with you? I was getting it on a whole new scale. He suddenly jerked up and offered a hand.

"You must be tired. Let me take you to a room." He said to me and I stood up.

"Alright."

I said to him and followed his lead as he climbed the staircase and opened the door to a beautiful room. it looked really exotic and I wondered for a moment what it was he does for a living.

"There are some clothes there by now which you can change with. I told Mr Hudson to prepare the room for you."

"Thank you very much. Goodnight William."

"Goodnight Lisa."

He said and smiled before leaving the door. I Stepped in, closed it and after a While dashed into the bathroom to freshen up. I was terribly tired as I lay on the bed and soon, I fell asleep. But as I did, I felt the lucid dream creeping in on me, stronger and even more lucid than before. I had barely even drifted off to sleep before the landscape changed.

***

I opened my eyes as I felt like the heated waters warm against my skin. I was unclad and was floating in a pool that smelled like roses. The smell was so strong that I was forced to look around for it's source and there on the pool were several rose petals. I quickly looked around. The pool was located at the centre of a large hall with numerous statues of naked women. The statues were painted with gold and on their heads were crowns made from flowers. The floor of the hall was tarred and intricate designs were made to give it a grand appearance.

The waters in which I floated were boiling hot but all I could feel was it's warmth. I tried to remember how I had gotten there but I had no idea. The last thing I remembered was that man, William, bidding me goodnight which I closed my eyes to sleep on my bed. It suddenly appealed to me that I was having a lucid dream again. But this did not feel like one of those dreams. The details were all pretty consistent ever since and the pool of milk was too obvious to miss. What was happening? Why did this change?

I swarm towards a side of the pool and was about to get out when I felt a soft delicate hand holding me still. I looked back and there were several young girls in the pool with me. Each of them had something that looked like a soap in their hand and they began to scrub me even before I could object. I saw several bowls on the ground, filled with things I did not know but they smelled so good. They were like perfumes, but they had the appearance of oils. The women continued to do their job on me.

"Where am I? What is this place? Who are you people?" I asked the girl closest to me but she did not reply. It was like she did not even hear me speak. She took my hand and began to slowly clean by fingers.

"Can you hear me? Where am I?"

I asked again but I was met with the same reaction. I sighed. There was no getting an answer from her and I was pretty sure of that by then. So I decided to take laws into my own hands. I suddenly pushed them all off me with all the strength I could muster and tried to rush out of the pool. They attempted to pull me back but I was quick. I headed straight out of the waters but just as soon as I had stepped foot on the floor, I slipped and with a loud cry, I fell back into the pool, but before I could crash into the waters, I felt strong large arms wrap around me and place me gently into the waters like I was weightless.

The feeling of that touch was all too familiar. I held his arms close to me and he then proceeded to slowly wrap them around my waist. I looked up to see his face but he placed a blinding kiss on my lips before I could see him. The kiss was deep and powerful and it felt like my entire being was being consumed by his lips. So I gave in and kissed him back with all I had. He then kissed my face, and proceeded to trace the long muscle in my neck with his tongue. A moan escaped my lips as I grabbed his hair in my hand. The young girls had all disappeared and I was alone in that pool with the stranger. Speaking of which, the pool had become a pool of milk again and I knew for sure that I had been in my lucid dream for a while now. A kiss to my chest made me shudder and then I began to feel his hand moving towards my center. I still could not see his face and for the first time, I had an overwhelming desire to see it. But he pushed me towards the edge of the pool and suddenly sunk his head underneath the milk and before I knew it, I felt his tongue brush against my sensitive spot. And it did not stop. My legs were completely off the ground and were supported by his large arms and I felt his head in between my thigh. I moaned loudly for I could not suppress the amount of pleasure I was feeling. In the middle of the intense session, it suddenly occured to me that he should have brought out his head by then to receive some air. There was no way he could breath underneath such liquid. But the action did not stop and I slowly reduced my moans. It appeared as if he noticed it and when he was bringing his head out of the pool, I quickly looked away should be try his kiss trick again. And then, when he least expected, I suddenly looked at him but what I saw was a corpse standing before me. I froze in place and I could not speak and just as quick as I had seen his face, I felt lightheaded. The room began to spin and before I knew it, I was suddenly knocked out cold. But I was not totally unconscious for it felt like I was being sucked away. Next thing, I opened my eyes and I found myself standing in a room, which had zero familiarity to me.

Where the hell was I?
