Chapter Eight: The Truth Sabriel Never Told.

" D, so you've braved entranced to my castle." Mused the vampire sitting back on his throne. Staring down with glowing white eyes upon D.

D looked around the dark throneroom of ruined Castle Maximoff." Desprite times. Call for desprite measures, Demitri."D said flatly." I need to know somethings about Jedah Doma."

The vampire, Demitri Maximoff, slowly stood from his throne. His long blue cloak swayed at his feet. He walked towards D. And stood face to face. D's hat still covered most of his though. So Demitri could not tell if D was looking right at him or not.

" You want to know why Jedah is after your little woman." He mused.

" She is not my little woman." D defended." She is just a friend that is what I am."

Demitri smiled toothly. His fangs exposed." You are the worst at deciet, D." He said with a chuckle." Very well. I will tell you everything you need to know about Jedah Doma." He turned and began walking towards a vast hallway with paintings. One of them a painting of Jedah Doma.

D followled the vampire lord. As he began to speak," Doma and myself have left several wounds in eachother's kingdoms. Each of use once faught eachother with joke spells and taunts. Jedah was one of the most wisest of all the rulers of the demon world." He paused to look back at D.Who stared up at the painting of Jedah Doma.

Demitri continued," But his wisdom was overuled by what was known to humans as love. He fell in love with a woman by the name of Marionette Lepe. Who later died giving birth to his son. Who was announced stillborn. Jedah fell into desolation, never leaving his castle, I assumsed he'd given up. I hired a man, a hunter like yourself to depose of him. Donovan Baine. He never returned until he did so in a box. No body, just a head and a note: Another stunt like that, Demitri. It will be your people's bloodshed across Shell.-J.Doma."

Demitri paused again," What makes you think you could take on Doma?" He asked.

" I'll answer that when you answer my question, why is he after Sabriel?" He asked Demitri.

Demitri smirked," You mean she hasn't told you. She was born with the soul of his beloved Marionette.Sabriel's father became a servant to Doma. and remained loyal, even nearly one thousand years after Doma's assination by Lord Ozumu. He offered his services to Doma. He offered his first born daughter. So he had left a note for his daughter to find when she was older. Telling her that she should one day become the bride of Doma once more. With or without her concent."

" So, she'd known." D mused.

Demitri nodded. " Her entire life, Doma's soul has haunted her darkest dreams. And when she became old enough, turned them into the darkest erotic dreams. Only a demon such as he could produce."

D looked to the floor, eyebrows lowering slightly. Demitri noticed this and approached D," Listen to me, Dunpeal and listen well. Donovan Baine failed to destroy him, what makes you any different from him.He too was a Dunpeal, a hunter of the dark. Heed my words. Leave this one be. Let Doma do as he wishes with Sabriel." Demitri said.

D nodded slightly," Thank you for your help." He said. Turned and walked towards the way he had came.

" Well that was a waste of time." The face in his hand started as D mounted his horse.

" Quiet. Leave me in peace." He requested. Feeling his heart breaking. Sabriel lied to him. She should have told him.

" I knew that girl was nothing but trouble." Lefty stated.

" No. I should have known." D muttered.

Lefty said nothing for a while.Then sighed."So going back to see her is out of the question. Even though you said those things to her in the note."

D took a moment and thought about it. He sighed. He loved Sabriel. No matter what. He stopped his horse for a moment, glancing down at the necklace Sabriel had given to him. His slender finger lifting it slightly. He looked again at the way opposite of town he was going. Then turned his head back at the way he'd came.

He shook his head at the stupid idea of not going back." Soon, Jedah will come for her. I must protect her." He said and turned his horse about and slammed his heals into the horse's side and rode as fast as he could towards the town.

Sabriel's eyes fluttered open slightly. Above her was a cealing of shimmering white and gold. Not her cealing. She realized. She slowly sat up. She noticed that she wore a long white nightgown. Around her was a large room. Suited for a princess. The floor was gold and white tile, shimmering as if it had little pieces of diamond, and gold enbedded within.

A vast vanity table with brushes, makes up, jewelry, and a large mirror. By the table was a closet. Beside the bed was a bowl of grapes, pomegranets, plums, cherries....and the same peaches that grew on the orchards in the garden she'd taken D.

" Definately not my room." She said to herself.

" I tried to make your stay as comfortable as possible." Sabriel gasped and turned her head towards the bedroom door. The blue skinned demon who'd taken her, leaned in the doorway.

" Permit me to to introduce myself." He started approaching her. Sabriel pulled the covers closer to her as he sat down on the side of the bed. He reached over and gently caressed her face with his long crimson fingernail," I am Jedah Doma."

Sabriel moved her head away slightly," I know full well who you are." She snapped.

" I see you've been paying attention to the dreams I've given to you. No doubt they've affected your lust. And hunger." He mused. Inching his face closer to her's. His lips brushing barely againt her cheek. His hand moving slowly alond the nape of her neck. Daring to travel further down. His free hand moving up the small of her back.

" Stop.Please." She choked. Her voice trembling. Jedah smirked slightly.

" Saving yourself for our wedding night your father was suppose to tell you about." He mused.

" Yes...I know." She whispered. And huddled her covered knees to her chest." You murdered my sister. You bastard!" She hissed.

Jedah smirked and titled her chin so she could look into his dark ruby eyes." She was but a casualty to you. Had I not killed her then threatened the life of her son, you would have faught me. Your sister is a human. Weak and her death was nothing.As oppose to you. A dunpeal. You are a stronger spieces and you will be by my side." He said and turned to stand up." When I give the blood of the archangel Rachael."

" Shouldn't it be my decision weither or not I want to be your's?" Sabriel asked and smiled at the nerve she'd strike within him.

Jedah smirked wickedly and turned to face her." No. It's not your choice." With that he left the room and locked the door behind him.

Sabriel flew from the bed and tried to open the door. No go of couse." Damn!" She hissed. And leaned against the door.

She saw the balcony and ran to it and threw it open, her eyes widened. She had a look of fear, a great beast stood there, growling at her. She backed and slammed the door shut." Shit! This demon means what he says." She said and walked over to the bed and took a seat." Oh, I hope that you'll come for me, D." She said to herself. And decided to lay back down and try and get some sleep.
