Chapter 5: Finally
"Lissia!" Tristan screamed as he pounded his fists on the solid wooden door with panic setting in fast. "Lissia!" He could not hear a sound from the other side of the door. He tried to open the door only to find it locked, he reached for the key in his pocket only to find it was missing. He must have left it in the door and now it was gone. A fresh wave of terror washed over him as he realised the key was locked in the cellar. He pounded on the door until his fists were bloody and he tired from exhaustion, his throat raw from screaming for his progeny.
He needed to get help and fast, he ran up the stairs as fast as he could, tripping over several times. He was determined to reach the Major's office to find a way to rescue Lissia from the wolf.
<=={======>
Paperwork always managed to distract him from anything he did not want to know about, in this case the dangerous animal in the cellar who most likely was ripping into the sheep carcass at the moment. The thought of the mess that would ensure made him shiver, all that work of cleaning the cellar out and he would mess it all up again. "Bloody wolves," the cherub shook his head. "How can Lissia be attracted to such a beast?"
He read through the forms and signed all that was required and stood to take them into the Major when Tristan burst through the door, "Something the matter father?"
"Lissia," Tristan panted from exertion. "She's trapped in the cellar with the wolf!"
"What?" Gabriel nearly collapsed at the news, "Is she hurt?"
"I know not," Tristan whimpered. "I cannot hear screams or anything," he gave a sob. "I think she maybe hurt, but I cannot be sure."
"Wait," the angel spoke with hope. "Don't you have that sire/progeny thing?"
Tristan knew what he spoke of, a bond that a sire has with their vampiric offspring. "I did not try in fear of no response."
"Where's your bollocks man?" Gabriel yelled insultingly. "Lissia is in there and she could be in trouble!"
Tristan nodded and closed his eyes to concentrate on her mind. The feeling from her was one of fear and cold, it chilled him to the bone as Lissia was rarely scared of anything. What horrors was she experiencing to induce such a terror? "She's petrified," he cried.
"Then get the key and we'll get her out!" Gabe demanded, holding out his hand waiting for the key.
"Lissia has it," despair drowning his heart at the fact she would be trapped until they had the spare key, "Do we have a spare?"
Gabriel kicked his desk. "The owner has it and that will take days to get," he ran his fingers through his hair in frustration, "I should have said something," his words were so quiet Tristan nearly missed it.
"What?"
Gabe looked shocked that the vampire heard him, "Lissia," he sighed. "I ..."
"Oh no," Tristan would have chuckled if the situation were not so serious. "You've fallen under her spell," he sighed. "I did too when I first met her," he chuckled dryly. "She had run from her village because she was being forced to marry a man she hated." Gabe smiled at the reminiscence. "She was angry, dirty and hungry, covered in woad and carrying two bronze swords that were so corroded that they were useless." He laughed now. "They were ancient."
"How is she now?" Gabe asked worried beyond belief.
Again Tristan concentrated on Lissia and gasped, "She's delirious!"
"We have to get her out of there."
<=={======>
Lissia's eyes bulged at the terrifying sight before her, Vulferam was much bigger than he was in human form. His features a perfect blend of human and wolf, his hands were large with nasty looking claws at the ends of his fingers, his face distinctly lupine with his human eyes staring back at her. His massive chest, nearly double its original size, and as her eyes drifted down, she saw that his erection had also grown in size.
A low rumbling in his chest caught her attention again, there was a hunger in his eyes as they surveyed her trembling form. With a quick swipe, Vulferam tore away the front of Lissia's uniform, she screamed at the suddenness of the action. Another growl told her he was happy with her now naked state. He began to sniff along her neck, nuzzling into her hair as the remainder of her uniform dropped away.
The gentleness of the act calmed her a little, it was clear that he had no intention of harming her. Still too stressed to relax, she tried to ease out of Vulferam's grasp, she thought he would let her until he gave a sharp bark and flung her over his shoulder. He marched towards the bed in the far corner and ripped the bedding off the mattress, creating a nest on the floor. He threw Lissia into the centre of the soft mound and crawled over her in a dominating stance.
The vampiress tried to remain as still as possible as he began to sniff over her exposed body. He seemed to like the curve between her shoulder and neck giving the area small licks and nips without breaking the skin. Lissia bit her lip at the feeling his attentions were giving her, the same one that she had felt the night before, not the lust, but the trust. Her trust in him had returned; she knew he would not harm her, but her ability to see past the sharp teeth and fur was still eluding her.
'His fur,' Lissia wondered. 'It's so soft and warm.' She sighed softly as he began to drift to her chest, sniffing, and licking at the sensitive skin. "Vulferam," she cried in her growing passion.
