The Vampire’s Omega

Amelia woke up the next day with her throat on fire, “What is happening?” She had wondered, finding everything hard to believe.

“Mother! My throat!” She had screamed but her scream only came out as a whimper.

“Amelia, what is happening? Why are you holding your throat?” Rebecca panicked, Amelia’s cries had woke her up from her sleep.

“Water, I need water, my throat is dry, I need water to ease it dryness.” She said in one breath.

She was so thirsty, her throat was as if it would peal off as she held it tightly in pain, almost choking herself.

All her thoughts that their stay in the dungeon wouldn’t be so hard flew away from her head and pain was all she was feeling that morning, she was breathing rapidly.

“Mother.” She called, a tear slipping from the side of her eyes, “I’m dying.” She muttered, feeling that the pain was multiplying as the time ticked.

“Never! You are never dying!”

Rebecca ran to the gate of the dungeon, she banged it so loud, “Help! Help!! Help!!!”

She kept on calling for help with tears gushing out of her eyes like that of a tap, she was so scared for the first time in her time, “I am going to lose my daughter!” She thought and the thought scared her so much.

The guards soon came by to see what was wrong, “Why are you crying woman?” A guard asked, seeing Rebecca in full tears, not like he cared though.

“My daughter, she needs water. Her throat is dry and she is already breathing rapidly. Please I beg you, give me a glass of water, and she will survive.” Rebecca pleaded.

The guards looked at each other before busting into laugher, “Is that why you are shedding tears and was calling out to us, disturbing out peace?” A guard asked, suddenly frowning his face.

“Yes.” Rebecca answered him nodding her head.

“Oh poor mother caring for her child!” Another of the guard said, shaking his head pitifully at her.

“Well, I must commend you woman, you cry so well, you should be able to win the contest of a professional weeper, crying suit you so much.” One remarked, giving Rebecca a thumbs up.

“If you really care for your daughter like you said, you should get away from trouble relating with the luna and moreover, tell your daughter to hold on, water is on it way.” One of the guards said, gaining a deep stare from the rest.

“What?” He questioned them that were staring at him.

“Why do you said that? Are you going to disobey the pack’s luna?” The other guards asked him, feeling angry that he was going to disobey the Luna because of Rebecca and Amelia.

“Thank you so much, thank you.” Rebecca appreciated interrupting their arguments.

“You are welcome madam, though they didn’t allow me to complete my words before they started criticizing me. I was going to say that water is on it way and all you need to do to get it is to wait for two more days and you will see water coming to you or you going to get it, by then, you could drink as much water as you could. Just wait till you are free.” He left them all with mouth agape, walking away.

“That was intense, wow!”

“One minute there, I thought he was going to disobey the Luna.”

“I have always known that he can’t do that, he is more serious than us all.” The guards discussed among themselves, ignoring Rebecca, who was crying profusely.

“Please, help me.” She said, calling their attentions back to herself.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Oh! You are still here!” One said.

“She is your daughter right?” Another asked.

“Yes, yes please!” Rebecca said anxiety.

“Then perform a mouth-to-mouth resuscitation with her, she should be okay.” One of the guards told Rebecca, already being pitiful of her because he had wife and children and he didn’t wished for his wife to cry like Rebecca was doing.

“And again, you should order for fruits like orange and watermelon, she can drink from their water though you can only order for fruits like that just ones in a day and it must be in the morning.” Another said, seeing that the first guard helped and they all nodded their heads in approval.

“Now tell me, who is helping her?” The first guard that walked away asked, coming back to them.

They all turned back to stared at him before rolling their eyes. “At least, we are not breaking any rule.” They told him.

One thing the guards had in common was their way of reasoning, they always have the same point of view in things, that was why they were inseparable.

“Anyways, I brought a maid, you should place your order immediately.” The guard told Rebecca.

“I want fruit, a lot of them, more of watermelon and oranges.” Rebecca told the maids and maid walked away immediately.

“Let’s go, I think she can handle the rest.” One of the guards said and they walked away teasing themselves.

Normally, the guards were not always in talking relationship with the prisoners, but the Luna had informed them that Rebecca and Amelia were her special captive and they should ensure to keep a close watch on them. The luna also made it clear to them that the rules must be strictly followed which they were doing.

The other guard that walked away had went to mind link the luna that Amelia was dying and she had responded that they should be given fruits that have highest quality of water, which brought them to watermelon and oranges.

And he had mind linked one of the other guards too telling them to bring it up as an opinion, so that Rebecca won’t feel that the luna changed her mind of giving them the ulter punishment she promised which went according to plan.

Rebecca ran to where Amelia laid and held her face. “Help is coming sweetie but led me give you the mouth-to-mouth resuscitation they said.”

She placed her mouth on Amelia’s, blowing air into her lungs, she repeated the process continuously till the maids arrived with her orders, by that time, Amelia was already breathing by herself slowly.

Rebecca collected the tray from the maid, “Thank you.” She appreciated for the first time in her life but she didn’t mind, she wasn’t even thinking straight that time.

The oranges were peeled already and had been cut into twos. She made Amelia to sit on the bed, and helped her in resting her back on the wall, she opened her mouth and squeezed a pair of orange in it, making her to drink it water.

Rebecca continued feeding her with the water in the orange till she muttered, “I’m okay.” And gently drifted off to sleep.

Amelia became silent throughout their stay in the dungeon even as the guards went by to check on them, she never mentioned a thing and the guards teased her and left. Till they were released late in the night of the second day.
