Jessica vaguely remembered being carried by Adrian through the red looking glass Gate. All she felt was the immeasurable pain of the humans, Slayers, and yes, even vampyres who were killed to create this portal. Jessica felt the determined cruelty of the souls trapped within the Gate as they tried to tear through her body to reach her soul, her
free
soul. Eventually, the pain was too much for her body to take and she slipped into oblivion.
When she awoke she was in a grand four poster bed. It was made out of a deep mahogany wood and the comforter on top of her was navy and gold in an elegant design. She felt like she was trapped in a gilded cage.
Jessica slipped out from between the covers and silk sheets and placed her bare feet on the floor. She cautiously walked over to the bathing room. A small note was next to the marbled onyx sink.
It read:
Jessica-
Please dress for the Macabre Court tonight.
There is a dress waiting for you in the closet.
If you need help… do not be embarrassed… Knock on your door three times.
A maid will come to you.
Adrian
What does he think? I can not dress myself?
Jessica stormed over to the closet and ripped open the door and stared at the dress inside.
OK, maybe I will need some help.
Jessica walked to the door and knocked three times. She stood helplessly in the middle of the room. Adrian had taken her stakes and everything else on her. Jessica's mouth dropped and she looked down at herself. She was in a night robe! He had seen her naked!
"Miss?"
Jessica whirled around. A young woman had opened the door and she was beginning to step into the room.
"I was asked to help you dress yourself for the Court tonight," the maid came to stand before Jessica. She was shorter than Jessica was by a good two inches and when their eyes locked Jessica's violent stared into vivid green ones. The maid's hair was a cherry red that was swept back into a half ponytail but there were small red ringlets framing her face and a light dusting of freckles across the bridge of her nose.
"Ah… yes…" Jessica stuttered flustered by this small female.
"Well, we first need to get you into a bath, miss," the maid giggled. "If you were worried about the fact that you woke up only in a night robe… don't" the maid winked. "I undressed you."
Jessica's mouth dropped and her sex began to get moist.
"What… what is your name?" Jessica asked as she was being led into the bathing room.
"Raven and you are Jessica," Raven spoke softly and turned on the water adding some liquids and made sure the water was not to hot.
"How does everyone know my name?" Jessica asked exasperated with the fact that everyone else knew about her but she did not know what was going on!
"We watch you. Your kind," Raven slowly walked over to where Jessica was standing. Jessica's robe was buttoned down and Raven began to slowly undo each button. By the time Raven was making her way down to Jessica's navel her nipples were hard and her sex was wet once again. Raven's breath was ragged and her fingers were unsteady as she undid the last buttons. She pushed the robe off of Jessica's shoulders and they both stood silent until Raven realized the water was almost going to overflow in the tub.
