Twice Awakened

Chapter 18

Four days later

Waking to clashing metal, grunts, growls, and commands. I heard the boys training harder/ Waking feeling hungry, the urge to pee slammed me. Remembering the little chit chat from what I thought was yesterday, I yelled for out for someone. Trying to move slowly out of the bed Liz had rounded the corner with pure bliss seeing me sitting up, rubbing the sleep from my eyes. Tears begin flowing from her eyes. “You’re awake, you’re finally awake!” she grabbed my face covering me in kisses.

“Lish, one I am about to pish myself but feel to weak to make it on my own and two your squishing my fash.” Words coming out weirdly as she squished my face.

“Ohhh I’m sorry but with you being out for four days..”

“FOUR DAYS!!!” I looked at her in disbelief. Explaining the huge hunger I had waking up. She nodded helping me walk to the bathroom. Not feeling weak I give her a nod and walk to the bathroom. “I am ok I feel a lot better.” I smile as I drop my pants quickly using the bathroom before a puddle was made. Watching my movement she agreed I was a lot better and allowed me to change. Walking down the steps and rounding the corner arms wrap me with a squeal. “Hello Matty. It’s like you missed me.” I giggled.

Granny gasping as she saw me hobbling to me as she wrapped me. Liz wasn’t letting me far out of her sight. Kissing me all over just as Liz had. I giggled in the reaction. I wanted to see Vlad, I needed to see he was ok. Walking on the back porch, I scanned the clashing boys, no one standing on the sidelines as before. I placed my hands on the banister watching for any glimpse of him. In their armor, I couldn’t tell them apart.

Just then a gentle wind blew at my back towards them. One stepped back, ceasing the clashing dressed in red, black, and purple. He spun quickly around and our gazes met. Running, tossing his helmet, Vlad had gotten to me, jumping the banister as if it were a pebble. His lips clashing to mine in a deep kiss as his arms wrapped me, picking me up. Wrapping my legs around his torso and one of my arms around his neck as I held his face. Our foreheads resting against each other, breathing each other’s scent.

“You worried me sick.” His voice raspy, grisly and low.

“I am sorry my love. I never meant to worry you.” I whimpered back.

“I know, don’t apologize, I know.” His eyes filled with love, filled with a new light, a new fire.

“I never finished the message before passing out.” I stammered out. Vlad’s head tilting, nodding, as he sat me on the swing. Yelling for the boys to come to the porch, he sat beside me, all his attention focused on me. Seriousness crossing his once gentle, smiling face, As I heard the footsteps close and the metal on the boots clicking on the wood I inhaled. “ We need to go to the Sacred Woodlands, there we shall find an army of allies. Mother...the Moon Goddess has sent visions to everyone there. Visions to rise with us against the King.” Vlad took everything in, his purple streaks soaring through his eyes.

He looked at Alex, with a tone that made me bow my head he simply stated. “ We move within a week’s time. When Anya is released and able to travel. We need to gather all supplies necessary.” The clacking behind me of fist to chest, the boys set off to prepare. Vlad’s finger pulling my face back up to his, back to it’s gentle expression. Kissing me gently, not letting me out of his sight, no matter where I had gone in the house. We sat at the kitchen island and made lists of supplies. I pulled money from my wallet splitting it up as the boys went different directions gathering tents, blankets, canned goods, anything that we could travel with. Vlad had Alex retrieve his bows and arrows, crossbows, and other weapons. With everything going on I had once again forgotten to eat, my stomach unleashed it ferocious growl. Vlad eyes opening widely, as if a cute kitten had just roared.

“ I take it you haven’t ate yet.” My face flushed as I felt his emotion flicker with anger and dissipate. Making me look down away from him. He kissed my cheek and got up scrounging around the kitchen. He made a sandwich, placed some homemade chips on the side, and a slices of pickles. Sliding the plate in front of me and eating his own. “I wasn’t angry at you, please understand that, I was angry at myself for forgetting your needs.” He grabbed my hand gently pecking the back of it. I nodded as my stomach was tamed for the moment with the feeling of fullness. With everyone out gathering supplies, we were alone, making plans and lists of supplies that came through the door. Night had fallen and everyone retired to their own homes, gathering all that they needed for our travels through the Sacred Woodlands. Feeling slightly sore I slipped from Vlad’s sight and snuck upstairs slipping into my bikini, snagging a towel, and slipping down to the basement. I start the Jacuzzi as I feel someone’s gaze upon me. Cloves and cinnamon rushing my scent as I slip into the Jacuzzi, yanking my hair up into a bun, and turning around to face him as I lower myself slowly in the heated water, the jets soothing achy muscles.

“Escapee located.” He grins as he strips coming towards the Jacuzzi, slipping in, and wading towards me. “Hmmm, this does wonders on achy muscles.” Sitting beside me, locating my hand. We relax for a bit, letting the tension release from our muscles. Forgetting about our troubles even if it’s for a short while.

After about half an hour, we shut off the jacuzzi and head upstairs to get ready for bed. As I slip off my wet bathing suit, I toss it into the hamper and dry off the rest of me. Vlad’s hands caressing my body. Kissing my neck and just enjoying me in his arms. “Screw it, no clothes allowed tonight.” I spin in his arms eyeing him questionably.

“Is that so? So what happens in the morning if one of the men has urgent news?” I smirk.

“I shall stand tall and watch them run.” He wiggled his eyebrows.

“What about me?” He ponders it for a minute/

“They shall see my world, all of your beauty, and I shall scare the hell out of them.” He smirked back. He walks me backwards, pressing my back against the wall. Trailing his kisses down my jawline, to my sweet spot. Pulling back slightly. “I missed you so badly these last four days, your smile, your giggle, the way you gaze at me, the way you kiss me, I could go on forever.” He looks deep into my eyes. “Kissing my lips softly, he grabs my ass lifting me up, allowing me to wrap my legs around his torso, his member teasing me. As he kisses me deeply, he cradles my head as he thrusts deep in my. Moaning loudly, feeling him smile as he nibbles my neck. He quickens his pace as my moans grow louder, stopping every so often to make me beg for more with my whimpers. Thrusting and causing my moans to echo throughout the house. Teasing me and surging me through pleasure for over an hour, we climax together.

Kissing me gently as he carries me to the bed, crawling in beside me, and pulling me to him. I missed that sound, he grabs my chin lifting my face up to him, and gently kissing my lips. Caressing my back as I drift to sleep.
