7. Corvin!

The morning sun woke me up by blinding my sleepy eyes. What time was it Any sense of time was lost. Raising myself upset, I saw a mug on the table. The vase that I repurposed disappeared. I was still plagued by a guilty conscience, but better than peeing in my pants.

Incredible water and a crust of bread. If it wasn't so sad, one could laugh. Locked up in a dungeon with bread and water. Where are we in the Middle Ages? Every felon got more.

First I wanted to throw everything through the room, first! But then I preferred to drink, I had to keep my strength. My only chance was assault, that much was clear. I would just have to wait for it to come. The surprise effect and the chair leg meant freedom.

So resolutely I prepared accordingly. Measure the door, this is exactly where I had to stand. A knock more was probably not available to me. I hugged the bedspread so that it looked like I was lying there. While waiting for my prison guard, I practiced the best stroke. It was big, so the head was out of the question.

A powerful blow to the lower extremities could also incapacitate a man. It should be over with a progeny, but that served him right. Besides, who wanted a father like that? The world would thank me.

Wait patiently, none of my strengths. Imaginary noises made me run to the door immediately. Always have my gun in hand. Even when I used the bucket, at least with the lid on. This unworthy procedure he would have to pay for me as well. Maybe an extra blow, I imagined with relish.

In the middle of the night, finally the longed-for sound. The handle moved slowly. I waited, ready to strike. Well wait, you messed with the wrong guy.

As I calculated, the door opened. I was in the perfect place, my heart was racing with excitement, you will be mature soon and I will be free. The shadow widened, not yet I admonished myself. Come on! One step and you will learn what pain means, come on. I lured in my thoughts and struck.

Something fell to the floor with a clang. A painful groan that filled me with satisfaction. Just one thing on my mind, I rushed forward. Just to be stopped by strong arms.

“You little bitch! Wait ... “the rest went under, because I hit again. My chair leg, the useful weapon, spoke of retribution until it was snatched from my hand. The guy was supposed to be mud, a blob on the floor. But no, he hissed some curse before throwing me back into the room. Fortunately on the bed.

I was back on my feet immediately. Where was he? The door opened, no matter out of here. My feet barely touched the ground, I sprinted so fast. The blazing light dazzled me. Just a moment and then I saw him face right in front of me. I saw, stopped in mid-motion. A fantasy, a mask but the cruel grin with these ... tusks. Too much, just too much, and sagged.

"Is she really Vladi's daughter?" A strange female voice. The first thing I noticed was when I came to, then the surroundings. I was in bed and immediately found the same prison. Wasn't my martyrdom over yet?

"I already told you." Oh, the guy! I recognized this voice, fear seized me. Immediately the memory jumped at me, the disfigured grimace appeared before my inner eye. Nevertheless I tried to breathe calmly and evenly, maybe I would find out the reason - why this monster held me prisoner.

The woman let out an indignant breath, “You locked her up here? Like an animal? ”Maybe my redemption?

“Do you want to criticize my approach? Or help me? ”The question came out bored, as if he didn't give a damn about the woman's opinion.

"This little beast wanted to emasculate me, only a few centimeters and I ...", laughing the woman interrupted him,

“The maids would have thanked her the way you followed them. Besides, I'm in no way worried about you and you know that. The girl, are you one hundred percent sure? She is his daughter. "

"Yes!" With a bored sigh, "But ask her yourself, she is awake." I winced and gave the guy a dirty look, which he acknowledged with a hint of a grim smile.

"Oh, hello Sarah, I'm Dana." An older woman appeared in my field of vision. Despite their old age, one could see their former beauty. No, she was beautiful, I corrected my judgment immediately.

"Well you gave us a nice scare. Is it going again? ”She asked worriedly. I nodded and thought sarcastically - I you? Who asked about my shock, my fear?

Another face appeared behind Dana. My jailer! The memory of his inhuman appearance is still too well burned into the mind. I avoided his gaze. Shivering, I pulled up the blanket protectively, as if she could defend me against this creature. A grim grunt escaped him.

Dana overlooked and ignored the respective reaction. She studied me with a smile. “Indeed, you are Vladi's daughter. His eyes, you have his eyes. ”She stated surprised but also pleased. "Can you stand up? First you need powerful nutrition, then a bath. I can only apologize for this stubborn man, he sometimes reacts rashly. "

"You don't need to apologize for me, she put it to herself." The man behind Dana snapped. She simply waved his objection away with a swipe. “Help our guest up. You can be lucky that she is fine. "

Guest! That I don't laugh, I was a prisoner, nothing more. Dana's kind words couldn't change that either. He pushed past Dana and I fled to the far corner of the bed. His hand snarled out.

"But, but we want to be sensible." Dana said sternly. The hand withdrew slowly. Horrified pointing the finger at the man, "He is a ..."

"Take it easy, Sarah." She reassured me, "Let's talk about that, now we should fix your deranged condition. Then I'll tell you about your father. I still can't believe it, Vlad's daughter. ”She smiled.

Still smiling, the woman turned to the bogeyman, what else was this monster for me? “Tell the cook to have a strong broth ready. So my child we go to my rooms there you are safe and can recover from the exertions with a bath. "

I wondered about the woman. It was night and she ordered this man or whatever he was to get some broth. As if it were the easiest in the world. What made me wonder even more he / it obeyed. This animal in human form left the room, with a sigh of relief the tension eased. My ribs, my stomach, my legs all hurt, so cramped I crouched in bed.

Ready to flee as soon as it got too close, because the monster was neither a nightmare nor a fantasy figure. The man or beast clearly had fangs. His eyes were the worst thing about him, all black, dangerous, a predator. I would never forget this sight again.

“Everything will be sorted out now, Sarah. Can you get up? ”She helped me up. She was unusually strong for an elderly lady. But she was also an older woman. The monster is not there!

My chance! As fast as my feet carried me, I dashed off. The woman named Dana called after me, but I left her behind regardless.

Down a flight of stairs! That was always better. One ran up into a dead end street or onto a roof. That always upset me in films, why were they so stupid and run up. If I want to escape, I'll probably take the direct way down.

Taking two steps at a time, I jumped towards my freedom. Straight into the arms of the monster that caught me. "Well who do we have here? Where are you going?"

What a stupid question! Where?

"Let go of me or I'll call the police!" I found that in the given situation I spoke very emphatically.

The creature, however, laughed, probably not the brightest. If bloodthirsty monsters were never I relied on my limited knowledge.

Who laughs when the police come into play? Really stupid or the very dangerous, it shot through my head. What was that creature? Who simply threw me over her shoulder like a wet sack and strode frugally up the stairs.

"Corvin!" The woman shouted brusquely when we met her, unfortunately I couldn't see her. "Lower her immediately!" She ordered.
