Freedom or Fight

1st December 1680

I had not the faintest idea how much more time had passed since Paige had visited me and after her visit and finding out how much time i had been locked in this cage i would not like to guess on the amount of time, but i do know i was hungry once more.

The room seemed to hold more light in recent days, i could see more dust in the air and more cracks in the floor and walls, or maybe i was simply awake longer to notice.

I sat in my cage trying to entertain myself waiting for Paige to return.

I day dreamed of my sweet grey eyed girl and listening to her laughter as she played, I imagined what she looked like now, tall like her father, brown curls cascading down her back like myself.

Would she enjoy the smell of rain? The feel of grass between her toes ?

Was she brave, happy, loved?

.

.

Did she miss me? Did she remember me?

I felt the tears on my cheeks as the realisation that my sweet beautiful girl would most likely not remember myself or the lost part of her family, she would have been too small for her memories to have been locked into her mind.

I hoped that Sarah would speak of us and tell her stories about the love her parents had for her, the moment she was created and every single second after, then and now, forever

The love her auntie had for her the moment she held her in her arms

The love uncle had for her the moment she grasped his finger in hers and in that instant she grasped his heart.

Once more like a thousand times before my heart and my thoughts went to my beloved. The only man who has held my heart and will for all my days.

The grey eyed boy who stole a kiss on our river bank and in the second he sealed our fates, he was mine and i was his forever.

I smiled as the image of his perfect face smiling back at me from paradise gathered in my mind, he was surrounded by my light and love and I felt his presence, our father was with him, he was around him and he held him safe.

In all my life I had never wavered in my faith in him, and in return he remained faithful in me, until that night.

We tried to sin to be able to return and we were prevented by monsters and yet in this cage my mind wandered so very often if it had not been him who had stopped our course of action, had he made it so that our sinful act was stopped.

I hoped he had,

i hoped he created this path for us,

I hoped there was reason to this all

But most of all I hoped he had, because then it would mean he was still with me, he had not lost faith in me and I could show my faith by following his plan for me.

But I felt Silver scoff at my thoughts and I recoiled from her coldness, she was pure instinct and pure faith in herself, no creator could give her strength that she could not give or take for herself.

Perhaps Silver was correct, i needed faith so that i would not crack under this cruel and cold world that i found myself in, i needed to believe there was purpurse and a plan for me, so i hoped blindly and held onto my faith so very strongly to ensure that i held onto my humanity when my new 'instinct' was to let go and be free from all bonds that hold me.

I heard the door lock click open and the door slowly being pushed open then her smell hit me and i think my body released tension I did not know i was holding.

"Willow" her voice called out in the darkness, as she slowly moved closer to me she held no candle this time and i waited for her to come to me

I could smell the blood she had brought for me and my body screamed for it but i tried to be reserved for her sake, i did not want her to know how hungry i had become in this time she would instantly feel bad about this,

She looked good, her hair fell in loose curls around her waist and her skin remained flawless but of course it would forever so this should not have surprised me but it did.

Her eyes looked tired but she still flashed me her beautiful smile as she sat beside my cage

"Hello sister" i smiled and took her hand in my, her skin was cool but i felt her warmth

"I came as soon as i could" she whispered as she slid the blood towards me, i slowly picked it from her grasp and tried to steady my shaking hand as the hunger runs through my body

The instant it touched my lips the moan that escaped me was primal and pure, but i held no regret as i drank and i felt my body burn with a heat that was unmatched in my second life, nothing felt as raw as when i feed, this of course held nothing in comparison to the effect human blood had on us but this held no regret of hatred after

She patiently waited until i had finished my meal and lay the container down, then she smiled

"Are you well ?" i nodded in response and simply smiled

"I have news" she looked thrilled at this news and i saw the excitement on her face

"We can go outside for a period of time" she smiled and i instantly felt the excited from Silver but before i could give in to this excited my concern took over

"How ?" her face fell and i knew something she was not telling me gave her great worry of my reaction

"Sister" i muttered

"Victor has gone on business and William sleeps" she sighed as she pulled a key from her gown, she smiled and i gave no further thought to them as the excitement of being free of this cage rushed me

I watched as time slowed as she reached into her gown and pulled the keys to open the locks, it was painful the time it took but soon the bars opened and i slowly stepped out to my sister and pulled her into my arms,

Her body against mine and i felt her heart beating, strong and loud and i felt her tear against my skin, but i also felt her smile against my cheek

"I have missed you dear sister" i laughed and pulled away from her.

I felt Silver twinge at the back of my mind, she had noticed something different but i did not care to listen i did not care to be anywhere but right here with my sister in my grasp

"Shall we" she smiled and slowly we made our way to the door, and i finally was able to see where they had been keeping me, i was underground of course but there were many doors between myself and the outside world

The reason I could not hear or smell anything when they were locked.

We slowly walked through the house and i could smell everything new, there was fresh flowers in the reading room, Paige's scent was throughout the rooms, I could hear Williams steady breathing from above, a small growl built in my chest as hearing that but i remained calm and followed my sister

The front door pulled open and the moon light flooded through, my human mind expected my eyes to hurt at the adjustment of new light but there was no pain only freedom

I stepped out into the night and the cool air rushed around me, the smell of fresh rain that had recently fallen still clung to the grass and trees

"Go, run" Paige smiled and i needed no further instruction as my body pushed me forward, i felt the grass between my toes and the light moisture in the air against my skin and i smiled, i had missed this feeling

This new life came with many many downsides and flaws and regret but being able to see the world through these eyes and feel the world through this body was pure wonder, and i do believe there is nothing that can compare in the human world, that is not to say i would not have liked to have stayed in that human world with my human family

However right now in this second, seeing the moon so large in the night sky and seeing the stars like diamonds in the blue heavens above was sight to behold.

I had no idea how long i ran or how far i reached but at a point i felt Paige call to me and i headed back to the house, she sat on the grass outside, looking up to the night sky

"We should head inside soon" she whispered knowing full well i could hear her

That took the wind from me and i sighed, i should have known it was not that simple

"Victor will be returning soon and you should be returned before then, so have time to mask your scent" she looked up to me "William will awaken soon"

At that moment Willaims heartbeat picked up and he tossed in his sleep, again the rage boiled on me, and it was that second that i heard Paige's heart beat pick up and her face showed her worry

Then it registered and Silver finally pushed at me, the scent

Something with her scent was wrong and Silver knew it

I stepped closer to Paige and breathed deeply. Her scent ran through me and I smiled.

My Page but then I noticed it, my Paige tainted by Willaim. His scent lingered on her like a intruder, in my utter excitement to be free of my imprisonment i chose not to see what i was being told

I guess she noticed the moment it clicked and she took a step back from me,

"Willow" she whispered lifting her hands as if to calm an animal, that made me angry and Silver grow taller in her rage

Our mind was spinning with a thousand thought but one stood above them all, he had touched our sister, we would kill him, as if reading our mind Paige stepped towards us

"Sister breath" she sighed "it needed to be this way" she snapped

Looking down as her i watched as she flinched in fear,

Of me, she feared me

"Why?" i snapped and now i was becoming impatient, i had been caged too long to hold my tongue when it was my freedom and Paige's Life, and the burning anger that was growing in me, told her i would now like her answer

"I gained their trust" she muttered almost too quiet to he heard

"How?" i growled

"The only way i could" she growled back and i saw the anger flash across her face,

My mind was going crazy, all her life Paige has suffered at the hands of men, first that stranger in London who took from her not only her innocence but her life, then the men who stole her human death and gave her a monsters life and now he takes from her more than i could think, he takes her freedom to choose, he does this simply to save us but i would have never given such a price for freedom, i could have stayed in that cell many more years before agree to my sister laying with that monster, using her body as a means of survival.

That is the one thing that Miss Ella Had tried so very had to save us from all those years ago, she had never wanted us to resort to using our body to pay for our lives and here we were, Paige suffering more at the hands of men, she it was my fault

I had not been caged, if had been stronger and faster

I should have done more

Been more

I failed her

As if seeing the conflict in my thoughts she took this moment to use my pause against me and i could see her mind trying to think of a way to calm me

"I needed his trust so we could follow my plan, it was always going to be this way sister"

That did not help me ..

My body began to burn and shake and i felt silvers rage she was consumed with her nee to destroy and her hunger for blood, William blood for laying a claw on our sister, he would die by our fangs and he would die screaming

I tried to hold onto myself, although i wanted him dead i did not know if Silver would control the rage enough to not harm Paige is she where to get in between us

"Willow" Paige begged "if you do tis now we will always be running" she looked at me with hope and it made Silver pause

"My plan will see us free forever sister, but my plan needs to happen this way, if you give in to your anger now and kill William, which you can, I can give you the answer how to kill him. I can give you it all but Victor will never stop hunting us and he will create more"

She slowly waked infront of me and took my shaking hands in hers

"Victor is the threat Silver, he is the enemy that we must defeat" she spoke not to me, but i answered

"What is the plan, sister?" i growled not angry with her but unable to settle this anger

"She smiled softly and pulled me inside, i followed her down the stairs and through all the doors and into my cage, i watched as she locked me inside my cell and then she sat beside me and took a deep breath

"Over this time i have been learning sister, everything i could and everything we needed, we can not simply run they will create more like us, or they will try"

Her blue eyes met mine and i saw nothing but pure determination

"We must destroy them"
