A Dark Obsession Chpt (1)

Prologue

He hung in his bonds…
His wrists dried with blood….
The room stank of sweat and decay…

He hadn’t seen daylight in months…
The torture they inflicted on him…
The battle he fought everyday…

The only solace was his dreams…
His sweet dreams…
Of the woman who would set him free…

Chapter 1

Savannah Herington stared at the couple. The man had piercing hazel eyes, impossibly broad shoulders and dark straight hair. Damn, he was good looking. He had a dangerous aura around him, while the woman at his side had blonde hair and blue eyes. Not so menacing, but still, power vibrated from her.

"I can’t imagine what you’d want my help for," Savannah said.

The man shifted uncomfortably on his seat, the blonde at his side covered her hands over his reassuringly. He smiled at her. Pain weld up in her chest, what she’d give to have someone look at her like that…

"I should introduce myself first. My name is Kier, I am a vampire knight and this," he gestured lovingly to the blonde at his side, "is Rose. We are in a very tight situation. We hear that you are very good at…tracking."

Savannah tipped her head to one side, "You mean stealing?"

Kier lowered his gaze, "I did not mean to offend…"

She shook her head, "It’s fine, I am well aware as what people must portray me as. I am fine with it."

"We don’t judge, Savannah, whatever your reason for…er…stealing should be quite plausible, you seem like a very nice person. But…we have a situation and we’d like to keep it quiet."

Savannah looked at her warily, "What type of situation?"

Kier leaned forward in his chair and lowered his voice, "It’s my brother, he’s…been taken. We fought a battle not too long ago and he was captured by the enemy. The Devotes."

"Devotes?"

Rose nodded, "Me, Kier and the rest of his brothers fought his father a few months ago. At that time we saw humans working for him, we thought they were under a trance. But we were wrong. Drake is…special. As the enemy’s son, he inherited some of his genes. Some of his darkness. The Devotes captured him and want him to release the evil inside him. Drake is good, he’s loving and caring. But…" she looked at Kier.

"We think that they are torturing him. In his weakened state, it would be harder to fight of the darkness." Kier continued.

"What makes you think that he’s still alive?" Savannah said. They both flinched at the question. She immediately felt repentant, "I’m sorry…"

"No," said Rose, "It’s alright, but…one of our scouts recently came across clues to Drake’s whereabouts. We think that he might be somewhere near the Black Mountain, southeast of this castle. He’s still alive, we know it. If he were dead…"

"We’d all feel it," finished Kier.

Savannah fidgeted with her hands, should she get involved in something that wasn’t her fight? As if seeing her hesitation Kier said, "We’d pay you well…"

Savannah shot him a look. A thief she may be, but she wasn’t a money starved person. She thought about this. Was it worth it to get caught up in something that didn’t have anything to do with her? The consequences would be dire if her Boss found out about this. She couldn’t risk her wrath, she shouldn’t do this and she wouldn’t. Savannah stood up and looked at them, "I’m sorry but I’m not the right person for the job." With that she walked out the door.

Just then, her cell-phone rang. She opened it and said, "Hello?"

"The Black Chalice by Thursday, it’s at Black Mountain. $50, 000 dollars if you bring it." The voice said, then it hung up.

"Please Savannah, you’re our only hope. Drake’s family and we…we don’t want to loose him."
She turned back to look at the couple. Kier had his arms wrapped protectively around Rose. She sighed inwardly, so that’s what loved truly looked like. She could see the way Kier looked at Rose and her back at him. What she’d give to feel…

"I’ll do it," she said, cutting off her own thoughts. "but I’ll need to borrow one of your horses."

They nodded enthusiastically. Showing her to the stables, she mounted a horse and got on it.

"Expect me back in 2 to 3 days."

They nodded.

With one last look at them, Savannah rode off. This had better be worth it.

Rose and Kier watched Savannah as she rode off to the woods.

"Do you think she will find her?" asked Kier.

Rose nodded, "I saw her in my vision, she’ll not only bring Drake back, she’ll save him."

"You mean…?"

Rose smiled coyly up at him and kissed him sweetly on the lips, "Some things are just meant to be…"

Kier inhaled the sweet scent that was Rose, he never got tired of kissing or looking at her. She was a beauty that fascinated him more than anything on earth, "I can’t disagree with that…But what did you mean by…?"

"Sorry Kier, but some things, you’ll just have to wait and see. I’m a guardian, a holder of fate, I can’t tell you everything…"

"No…not everything," he agreed but smiled against her lips, "but some things…"

"Some things I can tell you. Like, I love you."

Kier never got tired of hearing that, "So…she’s the one for Drake?"

Rose nodded, "Oh, trust me…she’s the one…"

*****************************************************
Sop that's just a short taste of what A Dark Obsession is going to be like.

You have three choices:

1st choice: Have a fun loving tale of true love with a bit of mishaps like A Slayer like me Wears Designer Clothing)
2nd choice: A more serious tale of twists and turns but with romance like A Dark Obsession.
3rd choice: A hot spicy tale with mystery and a lot of hotness like (a story I'm typing up right now) this one is going to be juicy!

So those are your three choices, the third choice seems quite appealing to me, but then again I might also want to continue A Dark Obsession. I'm just afraid that I'm gonna make you wait some time for some more chapters if I do all three!

Please Comment About this Chapter. Note this is just an excerpt. I'm not sure if I"m going to continue it or not. Please tell me what you think!
