Preys and Predator Part II; the monster and witches' Chapter 13

 13.

William could not shake off his image of Justine and Victor. He had known they were close friends, but the hugging was past the notion of being friends. He was somehow envious of them. He was with Elizabeth, and since she was away, his oath to remain faithful to her was tearing at his sanity. He had refrained from any others ever since, but his tryst with his own pleasure was also getting tiresome.

“Justine….” William had his dreams of her. It was sickening when the dreams showed him ravishing her. She was never into him, but there he was, doing her forcefully. To make it worse, he had Victor looking at them then.

“I am sick!” William reached for the bottle at the side of the bedding. He grabbed it and poured it over his mouth. He gagged and turned over to throw up. It was not the wine he grabbed but the ointment he used on his hand.

“Gawd!” William wiped his right hand over his mouth. It was then the chamber door opened. It was Elaine, the maid assigned to William. She was the young one, and not the brightest, but hardworking despite her chubby frame.

“Master …” Elaine looked away. “I am sorry. I will come back later.”

William was bare naked on the bedding then. He grabbed the bedding cover there.

“No, stay. I will get dressed.” Elaine averted her sight while the young master pulled on his breeches. She was to be true, amused, and excited. The master was her ideal version of a mate, but her social ranking did not give her that reaching point.

“Yes, Elaine. You may proceed. Is it that late in the morning?” William strolled to the window and pulled the drapes. The sunlight hurt his eyes.

“Yes, Master William. It's past the hour of breakfast, and … Victor did not turn up either.”

“Maybe he is asleep.” William defended for his brother.

“No, I was told by Maple he left early when called by Henry. He is at the lab.” Elaine forgot her rank and was sharing gossip while she picked up the clothes on the floor. She touched on the soiled covers and knew what it was. She has three elder brothers at her home sharing the same room.

“Whatever. I will not be having breakfast. I must go to the uni for the preparation for the new term.” William said and looked at his rather embarrassing front. He was still hard there. He stood there looking outside the window.

“Have you seen Carmilla, our guest?” William asked.

“Carmilla? No, Master William. She does not want to be disturbed in the morning. We only attend to her needs after lunch.” Elaine replied. Her eyes were on the half-dressed man standing by the window. He was handsome to her view. He was better looking than Brandon, and she had told him he could not touch her below the waist. Elaine then saw the welt on the left side of the Master’s back.

“Are you in pain, Master William?” Elaine approached the man and touched his back. William arched his back on the touch.

“I knock my back against the dresser. I will be …”

“Let me put some salve on it.” Elaine spat into her right hand. It was what she was told to soothe the pain on the flesh. She rubbed her hand over the wound. William felt the soothing touch of the maid over his back. He arched his back to the feeling. Elaine spats more onto her left hand and rubbed his other side of the back.

“Yes. It is nice.” William enjoyed the ministration of the hands. Elaine covered her massage and pulled at the waist of the breeches. She reached in to massage the area, without realizing her action. She touched the lower spine and moved her fingers down.

“Yes.” William was feeling nice. He had missed the female touch to his skin. Without a thought, he turned around and faced Elaine. She pulled her hands away and looked down to avoid his eyes.

“I am sorry.” Elaine said. “I did …”

Elaine saw the bulge there.

“Elaine, can I …?” William was cut off.

“Yes, anything. I will do it.” Elaine said.

The chamber door was soon locked, and the Master had laid back with the maid on him. She was bucking above his hips, her frock drawn to her waist, and the hem raised. It was her first, but she was past the initial feelings. She was happy to give it all to the master.

“Yes…” William had his hands held onto the giganteum hanging fruits; he missed it all then. “I am ……”

Elaine was past the need to listen or be concerned. She was into her pleasures, and when it arrived, she was still heaving away. Soon, she left fully dressed and carried the dirty clothes. She refused the coins and walked out with William puzzled.

“I guess we are good.” William looked at his hands. “May not need you anymore?”

At the church, Doctor Mitchell pushed himself off the bedding. His spine hurts, and he saw the medication on the bedside.

“I am not a doctor, but I knew laudanum was what the doctors prescribed for the pain.” The one who saved the Doctor was still there.

“Yes, the laudanum helps.” Doctor Mitchell smiled. “A bottle of whiskey too, but in the house of the Lord, we shall be more thankful in other ways.”

“Thank you, sir.” Doctor Mitchell looked to his savior.

“Spielsdorf, Rudolf Spielsdorf. I was to seek shelter here from my long journey.” The man seated near the bedside introduced himself once more. “I was waiting near the church and saw the fall. I rushed over and assisted you.”

Doctor Mitchell was helped to his feet slowly and brought into the church from the side entrance before he was laid on the bedding. He fell asleep immediately.

“I fell. Yes, I fell. It was my back.” Doctor Mitchell sighed. “Long ago injury and …”

“Rest easy, Doctor. I just need a place to rest and pray. The house of the Lord was the ideal place. I can pay for my boarding.”

“No need for that. The house of the Lord does not require coins but the faith in the Lord. Are you one of the frocks?”

“I am and one of its shepherds too. I was in the army, and one day, I heeded the call to lead the prayers.” Undisclosed to the doctor, Spielsdorf had learned that his salvation was God when he was Общий. The leading of the men to battle and, for some, their deaths, weighed on his conscience. He found his way to the chapel and then to the Lord. He needed God’s forgiveness. His lover’s death made him lean more on his faith to uncover the truth.

“A shepherd. I am blessed. The duties of mine have been heavy, and with the recent...” Doctor Mitchell sighed.

“I heard of it. I was in the country, and the locals told me of the happenings here. The traders carried the news, and the routes passed here were diverted.” The guest said to the doctor.

“Yes, we have our events, and word of it spreads fast.” Doctor Mitchell looked at the other. “It is new to us.

“New to you but not to my travels. I have been far and wide. The disappearance of the girls has happened in other villages.” Spielsdorf knew it and had traveled with his daughter to find the cause of it. He did not disclose it to anyone, and when Lauren was unwell, he stopped by the Frankenstein’s mansion.

“Please share with me.” Doctor Mitchell looked up. “We are in the house of the Lord here. We are …”

“Protected? I am unsure. Monsters are not demons or the devil, but an abomination of ours. They are the unforeseen link between us and Angels.” Spielsdorf uttered a prayer.

“Nephilim? Genesis 6:4: The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and when the sons of God went in to the daughters of humans, who bore children to them. These were the heroes that were of old, warriors of renown.".

It was in the past, and into the present, the monster was still said to be around.
