The vampire Lisa (chapter three)
Chapter three
As the time approach for me to be crowned I announced to my court that I was to find a husband this pleased my court and in the flowing days my advisers started to pick out the best and I was to choose I finally picked one he had just turned seventeen and wanted to escape from his father so I invited him to come and stay with me and in the next week I was married and then crowned queen just as I was told to do I announced that I was with child three weeks later and the whole kingdom was having one big party. As the months past my husband be came violent and a drunk then one night when I was about eight months with child he came in to my rooms and beat me then raped me he told me that I was neglecting him and that it was his right as my husband and my role as wife to do what was required of me this went on for weeks then a guard heard me scream because he had I knife pointed to my stomach and the guard killed him and from that moment on I was free of him.
About four weeks after my husband had been killed I went into labour and after about twenty hours of labour my son was born I named him Luke.
People from all over the place came to visit and then finally I saw in the corner two tall figures I ask everyone to leave the room only the two tall figures remained not till every one had gone did they come forward it was my uncle and Vincent when I saw them I burst out crying “I am glad you have come even though the room was full I felt alone” my uncle came and sat down on the bed and Vincent did the same “I did not think you were going to come” “of course we where coming do you think that we would miss this it was Vincent who said that it was tonight it was going to happen so we came” “I suppose you have heard of what happened to my husband” “yes we did iam just glad that you both are ok” my uncle got up and said “I will leave you two alone now so you can talk and make plans for your son” my uncle went over to Luke’s crib and said “he looks like Vincent” and with that he left. Vincent got up and went over and looked down at Luke and said, “Your uncles right he does look like me.” “Well he is your son” “no he is our son” Vincent picked Luke up and came over and we sat there the three of us all night until it was time for Vincent to go “you will come back tomorrow” “of coarse I will come back tomorrow” he kissed us both then left.
The next few months past in peace and Vincent and my uncle came to see me and Luke every night and we would stop up talking of what we had planed for Luke when he was older and what we all wanted for him my uncle was very adamant that Luke should have the very best tutors that money could buy and he was going to find them himself. Every thing was going well until one night a message came from a kingdom to the south of my own it was giving some very bad news
“To queen Lisa this letter is of the most importance and needs quick action. The Romans have landed to the east of my kingdom and have attacked a number of my small villages so I am warning you that they are on their way. By the time you have this letter it will probably be to late to save me and my kingdom what I advise you to do is to get what you can and get out now before they reach you.”
King sarphi
When I had read the letter I called an emergency meeting with all my generals to make a plan of action. My generals said that all the woman and children should be sent away I did as they said by the end of the day I was the only woman left in the city. When the night came and Vincent and my uncle came I told them that they must take Luke with them so that I knew that he would be safe. “You must take him for my sake” “and what about you what will you do” asked Vincent “I will stay with my troops” “you will do no such thing our son needs his mother not just a father” “I know that’s why you will have to give him love for me” “we will stay with you and help you” “no you must take Luke away with you now before I change my mind. Trust me this is the best way for us all” “and what I am I to do with out you?” “If anything happens to me you will raise our son. Now get out”. That night I was on my own I had no one my rooms were striped and anything of value had been taken to a hiding place that only Vincent and I knew the way to. Two days had pasted and the Romans were not to be seen so I sent out some scouts to see if they could find a trace of them I didn’t have to wait long for my answer my scouts came back and said that the Romans were just two hours way and that they were getting ready to attack us tomorrow. My guards said that I must get away but I would not leave my troops and every time they asked me to leave my response would be “if I where a man would you be telling me to leave? I think not some how”.
As the sun rose all we could do is sit and wait for the Romans to show up and attack the city walls. We waited all morning and just when we thought that they weren’t going to attack they came walking towards us there were thousands of them at once I knew that we where out numbered I could see it in the face of my men. Then their pace changed they started to charge at the walls it took them three hours to brake through the walls and when they did all hell broke loose my men didn’t have time to pull there swards there was just to many of them. And so they burnt my beautiful city to the ground me and the remaining men headed for the place where we hoped we would stand a chance of fighting them off but no such luck they got in through one of the secret passageways. My general got thirty men and said “take the queen to her bed chamber and keep her there don’t let them get her”. And with that I saw the last of my general and I was being rushed down the corridor towards my rooms. When we got there the Romans were already there it was a trap my general had been with them all the time and now my men where being picked off one by one until there was just four of them and me standing in the middle. Then one after the other they were killed and then it was just me. Then my general entered the room and said, “that I should be questioned about the place where I had hidden my child “what make you think I will tell you where he is? I will die knowing that he is safe and with friends” “yes you are right” “what do you mean?” “That you will die knowing that your child is safe” and with that he plunged his sward in to me over and over again and left me for dead on the floor of my bedchamber.
