Be Careful When You Bite Me

Two guards marched in with the human man from the dungeon. They halted right in between Damon and I and I wondered nervously what this will unroll.

“Father-“ Damon began but the King didn’t let him speak.

“Is this the villager that you tried to help escape?” His gaze was directed at me.

I didn’t know whether to lie or tell the truth. Whatever hole Isabelle and Seth had dug up for me seemed irreversible.

“Yes,” I muttered.

Damon’s disappointed eyes met mines for a brief second and I wondered what it was about this man that made both Damon and I both attempt to rescue him.

“This man must be special,” said the Queen,” because even my son, who knows better, had tired to spare him.”

I removed silent and so did Damon.

The King stood up from his seat and walked down the three steps it took to get to the ground.

Now that he was at ground level, I seen that he resembled Xavier a lot more then the rest of his children. He was taller then even Damon, hovering at a couple inches above him. He reached his hand out towards a guard who presented him with a wooden sword.  

Silently , he handed it to Damon who accepted.

I turned to look at the human man. His sad eyes were barely open. He struggled to breath and I could see the fresh bite from last night had hardly healed.

They didn’t have to torture him to prove a point.

I knew this was their way of teaching Damon a lesson but they could have killed him a long time ago and saved the poor man all of this pain.

I looked at Damon who now looked sad.

“Father-“ he began, his voice soft an apologetic,” what do you want me to do with this, it’s a stake.”

The King took his seat back at the throne,” I want you to stake him like he would us, keeping in mind the thousands of your ancestors that had been staked at the hands of a human.”

“Damon,” I whispered,” you don’t have to do this, Seth and Isabelle-“

“Shut up,” Damon snapped, his angry gaze now locked with mines,” if it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t be in this situation in the first place.”

My pained expression turned into one of confusion.

What did he mean if it wasn’t for me?
