Love By Death Ch. 05

"Squire twins here to see the Queen and King." Jonathan spoke in a firm voice

"Who else is presented?" One guard asked

"Our wives." Stefan answered.

"Present them." The second guard said

Melody and Ally walked forward. Melody recognized them as the two who helped her get free from the captains. Both guards looked at her and without a word opened the door. Both girls looked back and the men nodded their heads. The girls walked in and saw the Queen and King sitting on their thrones. When they got about nine feet away Ally grabbed Melody arms and pulled it down. Melody looked and saw that she should curtsey. Soon she saw the men join them and bow.

"Rise, my sons and daughters." The Queen spoke

"Who among you is worthy of my seat?" The King asked as he waved his hand

Jonathan walked two steps and motioned for Melody to follow. Melody followed but stayed behind him.

"It is I and my wife if you will do the honors." Jonathan said reaching back for Melody who took his hand

"Face one another." The Queen said

"You two take your positions." The said to Stefan and Ally.

Ally and Stefan walked over to their sides and waited.

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trust, always hopes, and always preserves." 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 the queen spoke with pride

"From this day forward may each day of your life together be blessed with contentment, happiness, and most of all love." The king returned with pride as well

"There are three things I want you both to remember. One communication. Two communication. Three communication. Without these three things you will have nothing in return for one another." The queen smiled

Squire also known as Jonathan do you plan to love Melody for better or worse, sickness and in health, happiness and sorrow, strength and weakness. If you agree please say I do. The king asked

I do. Jonathan answered

Melody do you plan to love tom for better or worse, sickness and in health, happiness and sorrow, strength and weakness. If you agree please say I do. The Queen asked

I do Melody answered

"Squire Stefan please hand Squire Jonathan the ring. Now repeat after me" The king spoke again

I Jonathan take you Melody, as my wife. From now till death parts us. With this vow I thee wed.

"Captain Ally please hand Melody the ring. Now repeat after me" The Queen spoke again

I Melody take you Jonathan, as my husband. From now till death part us. With this vow I thee wed.

"Congratulations to you both. You may now kiss your bride." The King said as he clapped his hands together.

Ladies and gentlemen I pronounce to you, your new Queen and King. The Queen said with joy in her voice

Melody and Jonathan smiled and laughed when they turned around they saw the room was filled with a lot of people. Melody couldn't believe it. She looked at Ally and gave her a smile and a hug. Stefan and Jonathan shook hands. Both couples kissed one another. Soon Melody was being turned to face everyone. She looked and saw Jonathan looking straight forward, he looked at her and nodded. She did the same. Soon she felt something on her head and realized it was the crown.

The old Queen and King walked around and took their hands with a Hug and shake they turned them around to face their seats. They joined their hands.

"As our final act we have one more command." The King Said as he turned to the people

"Queen Melody and King Jonathan. Please take your first walk as husband and wife to your new seats. May the day always be bright."

"May you find comfort within your words."

"May you always be in a place where happiness is number one."

"May you always know that you love each other."

Jonathan squeezed Melody's hand and began to walk. Melody walked with him. As they walked they were stopped and given their robes, scepters, and a blessing from the royal clergy. When they got to their thrones they turned and bowed to their people. They sat down and smiled at one another.

"My Queen and King. What do you proclaim?" Willfred asked

"We all bow and a moment of silence as a thank you to the old Queen and King." Melody said before Jonathan could speak.

Melody was already standing ready to take a bended knee. Jonathan soon followed and everyone took their cue. The old Queen and King hugged one another and waited for Melody and Jonathan to rise. When they did the Queen spoke

"It is us who should thank you my Queen. It is us who are grateful. We will forever in your debt. We will not retire to our chambers."

"Stay please. I wish a word with you." Melody said before they turned around.

The old Queen and King bowed. Jonathan then stood

"Let's all have a good time, for tonight we party. Tomorrow everyone is back to work."

Everyone cheered and music started to play. Everyone was dancing and having a good time. Melody and Jonathan looked deep into one another as they danced. People would walk up and introduce themselves and thanked the old Queen and King.

"May I have that word now my lady?" Melody asked as the tapped the queen on the shoulder.

The queen bowed and followed her.

"After the party I want to know about the last brother. I'm sure there is something I need to know."

"My Queen, of the five I have birthed I see two standing. I have not heard or seen the other three in a long while. My Queen may I offer a bit of advice?"

"You may."

"Please be happy with whom you see. Don't worry about those whom you can't control. I only ask you one favor?"

"What is that?"

"Allow me and king to stay within these walls?"

Melody motioned to Jonathan and Stefan. They walked over to where they were.

"You mother and father are requesting to stay within these walls."

"Of course they are your high council. She will help you and father will help me. We will all get to know one another all over again." Jonathan said as he kissed Melody

"Thank you, your majesties."

Everyone returned to the party and everyone enjoyed themselves all night. Ally, Stefan, Melody, and Jonathan were the last to leave. They were enjoying the time knowing nothing could bring them apart.

"Are you happy?" Jonathan asked

"You know I am. I can't believe were married and Queen and King." Melody said as she spun around with Jonathan

"There is just one more task that you have to do, I'm not going to lie it will be painful." Jonathan told her.

Melody stopped dead in her tracks causing Jonathan to nearly fall. "What now?" She kept her voice quite but Jonathan could see she was pissed.

"Melody you can't stay human, you have to become one of us. Can we continue dancing while we talk?" Jonathan asked as he tried to move.

"You two bedroom, the party is over. As for you bedroom now. No one speak." Melody's voice was stern and the three of them knew she was upset and was going to be yelling.

When they all got to the bedrooms, Ally and Stefan turned to their room. "Get in here now." Melody said with a tone Ally knew all too well. They turned around and joined them in the bedroom.

"Let me get this straight. I married you, I took the crown, well it was given to me, now I have to become who you are witch by the way what are you? You have yet to tell me. I just kept hearing your human first. So what are you? Why do I have to change? Why can't anyone just be upfront with me? Well ANSWER ME!!" Melody began to breathe really hard

"My Queen please calm down. We didn't want to alarm you. We are what you would call us super human. Our blood has been mixed with various chemicals and elements. You do hold a trace amount but not enough to keep you alive much longer." Stefan said not looking away from her eyes

"It would only hurt for a minute and then you would sleep for a bit and wake up." Ally told her with a soft smile

"Melody honey we would all help you through it. We would all help to change you." Jonathan told her

"By what biting my neck?" Melody asked with a small smile

"That's a vampire and yes I would bite there." Jonathan said trying not to laugh

"I would have your inner thigh" Stefan was soon to follow

"I would have one your breasts" Ally said with a smile

"When will this happen?" Melody asked

"We would like to do it now. This way tomorrow you could sleep, Willfred will look after you, I would be getting everything ready for your return, Ally and Stefan would go back to work. No one would know." Jonathan told her as he put his arms around her.

"Will I be free or bound?" Melody asked with a bit of a shiver

"That's up to you. We can do it both ways." Ally answered.

"Where on my inner thigh?" Melody asked

Stefan went over and put his hand about mid upper thigh. "Right there my queen"

Melody nodded but didn't say anything. She tilted her head to the side to give Jonathan access

"My dear we will do be nice and do it on the bed." Jonathan whispered in her ear.

Melody raised her head and they all walked over to the bed. Melody go in and got comfortable.

"Drink this and close your eyes. When you wake up you will be healed and one of us." Jonathan said as he handed her the glass.

"Be sure to drink the whole thing." Ally mentioned before she took a sip.

Melody took a deep breath and drank the whole glass. She fell back into the pillows and was asleep shortly after. The three of them waited an hour before getting into position. Jonathan looked at them. He wasn't sure if she say thank you or not.

"I'll go first." Stefan said and he bit into her thigh. When he was done he pulled away and got off the bed.

"My turn." Ally said as she bit into Melody's left breast. When she was done she pulled away and went into Stefan's arms

"I love you both. Thank you for doing this." Jonathan bent down and bit Melody's neck. Stefan and Ally both watched and had to pull him away. "That's enough you'll kill her and then where will you be?" Stefan said in a husky voice.

"Me out, Get me out of here." Jonathan said as he huffed and puffed

Stefan and Ally both helped him out of the room. When they got out Stefan looked at Willfred. "You are not to leave her side. Feed her, give her something to drink. Whatever she needs. She is not allowed out of bed today or tomorrow. Also don't give into her. She should sleep all night and all day tomorrow."

"Very well sir. My King I bid you good night." Willfred said with a bow

"Let's get you in bed too. You're going to need your rest." Stefan told Jonathan

"Do you think you will need to be strapped down, my king?" Ally asked

"Better safe than sorry." Stefan answered

They put him in a chair and strapped him in place. Jonathan watched but didn't fight. "Drink, you know you need your sleep." Ally said to him.

"Thank you. One question Stefan." Jonathan asked

"What's that brother?" Stefan asked

"You're not doing this to be King are you?" Jonathan asked

"NO! I don't want the crown. Now sleep we will wake you tomorrow." Stefan said with a straight face.

"Trust is earned your Majesty. I think it is safe to say we have proven it to you both. Please drink." Ally said with a kind smile.

"I'll be fine. I can't move." Jonathan

"But I can and I want to have sex with my wife."

"Fine." Jonathan said and Ally gave him the glass and helped him sip. Jonatan passed out and Ally and Stefan fell into one another's arms. They made sweet love all night. Jonathan woke up and found he was blindfolded

"What the hell is this?"

"Sorry bro. Just in case we weren't done. No fighting us now and we will untie you."

"Very well."

Stefan and Ally went over and untied him. Stefan took off the blindfold and they both stepped back.

"Thank you both. Get to work. I'm going to check on Melody."

Jonathan left before they could say anything. He sprinted to their bedroom and was stopped by Willfred

"You Majesty please, let her sleep. She is resting comfortably and is in no pain. She should be up tonight."

"If she wakes sooner..."

"You will be the first person I contact."

"Very well. I will send Ally in to relieve you."

"No need sir. Captain Ally, and Master Stefan have already worked out a schedule. We are sticking to it. Please go attend to your duties."

"Thank you Willfred, You will be rewarded when your task is complete."

"Thank you your Majesty."

Jonathan when into the office and saw the old Queen and King working hard. "Shouldn't I be there?" Jonathan asked.

"We figured you were to be with your new wife. Also we are just finishing up the last of our things and you will be in here tomorrow." The Queen said not looking up from her work.

"Very well. What can I do now? Melody sleeps, she will be awake tomorrow."

"Go look over your kingdom, See what all you can. Walk the land, we will be done by days end."

"One question to you both, please answer separately."

"Very well"

"As you wish"

"Do you guys ever miss the torture? The pleasure? Any of it?"

"My dear boy, what makes you think we stopped?"

"We take those that have done the unthinkable and we make them pay."

"What do you consider unthinkable father?"

"Children my dear boy, Children."

"Animals as well."

"So you two still torture people?"

"Yes and we would like to continue to do so. Though our victims never see the light of day when were done."

"Very well. I can handle that."

Soon there was a gong and Jonathan turned and went running. He knew it was Willfred. He ran and found Willfred standing outside the room. "Is she ok? Are you ok? What's wrong?"

"Sire I got to close. No one told her not to bite. I'm sorry sire. I gave my life to her."

"Take him to the hospital wing and see too it he lives. Is that understood?"

The guard nodded and took Wilfred away. Jonathan entered and saw Melody crying in her hands.

"I killed him, didn't I? I killed the third man who cared for me. Why did I do that? Why didn't I pay attention? Jonathan is going to be so upset with me. I don't know if I can face him after that. Oh why did I bite him? I didn't mean too."

"Shh, shh, shh" Jonathan said as he sat next to her, he put his arm around her. "There, there my sweet. I still love you. Willfred will be ok. No one is upset with you. We forgot to tell you a few things. But you're ok now. Just cuddle a bit and we will get walking around." Melody and Jonathan continued to sit on the bed. Soon Ally and Stefan walked in. They both got a look of panic on their face and Jonathan gave them a small shake of the head.

"She is already upset enough. Stefan go check on Willfred. Ally make her something to eat." Both went and did as they were told. Jonathan knew Melody had fallen back asleep but didn't move her.

After about an hour Melody stirred and Jonathon moved with her. She opened her eyes and saw him just looking at her.

"Is Willfred going to be ok?"

"I have not heard anything yet my dear but from what I saw you didn't bite him too hard."

"Please let's go find out."

Just there was knock at the door. "Enter" Jonathan said.

In walked in the doctor. "You majesty's. I have come to tell you that Mister Willfred will need at least two weeks to recover. He will be on light duty for at least another month."

"May we see him?" Melody asked

"He only wishes to see you my Queen."

"Give me a minute to get ready."

She got up and went and got ready. When she was done she went out and reached for Jonathan's hand. He took it. They walked in silence till they got to the door where the doctor stopped them. "Remember he only asked to see the Queen." The doctor reminded them.

Jonathan nodded and Melody went in. She walked to the bed where he laid and had a bandage where she bit him. "I'm so sorry Willfred. It was not my intention to harm you."

"Fret not My Queen, you didn't know. I am not upset. I look forward to working with you still."

"You position will remain yours till you say so. I just have one question."

"Yes My Queen?"

"Will you please help me when Jonathan is not around?"

"How so My Queen?"

"Let me know if I'm doing things right, if something needs to be done."

"That is not my place. Nor will it ever be. You have Miss Ally and Master Stefan for that. I will remain your servant. Please My Queen."

"Very well. May Jonathan enter he is here with me."

"Yes. My Queen."

Melody opened the door and Jonathan walked in. "How you doing Willfred?"

"Very well My King. As I was telling My Queen, I look forward to working you still."

"Till the end."

"Yes My King."

"Get some rest. Return to us when you can."

"I'll be there in the morning."

"No you will take a week and heal, you will listen to what the doctor has to say. I want you better." Melody said with a smile and a small tone.

"Very well. I will do what you ask."

Melody and Jonathan exited the room. Jonathan was headed back to the bedroom when Melody turned. Jonathan followed. "Where are you going?" He asked knowing the hallway she took only led to one area. "Just want to see what is down here."

"We better turn around. This is one area you don't need to see."

"Why is that? Ugh what is that smell?"

"The burning of the dead victims and garbage. There's also the water torture room and the decay room."

"Oh ok. Now we can go."

"You're too wise." Said a voice that made them stop in their tracks.

They both turned around and soon Jonathan shoved Melody against the wall. "Run"

"I can help."

"No you can't. NOW RUN!!"

Melody ran and bumped into Stefan and Ally

"Jonathan, run, water, burning, garbage." She puffed out with each breath

Stefan was off before any more could be said. Ally just turned around and rushed Melody to the bedroom.

"Are you ok?" Ally asked her

"My back hurts a bit but other than that yea, I'm ok. What was that? Who was that?"

"Let the guys tell you. I guess there are even a few places you shouldn't go."

"I guess not. Ally can I have some water?"

Ally went and got her some water when she returned Melody was passes out on the floor. Ally leaned over and saw that she was not breathing. She rang for help and began to try to revive her. When help arrived they rushed her to the hospital wing and continued to revive her. Ally was told to stay behind and tell the king when he returned.

Ally was pacing the floor wondering the worst when Jonathan and Stefan walked in. Ally stopped and looked right at Jonathan "My King, Hospital wing now. Melody passed out and was not breathing. I tried, the others took her away and tried. I have been in here they told me to stay. I don't know anymore."

Stefan took Ally in his arms and Jonathan was out the door. He ran to the hospital wing and was stopped by two guards. "She is getting prepped for surgery My King." One the guards said.

"Get. Me. The. Doctor. NOW!!" Jonathan gritted through his teeth.

Without another word the guard when in and came out with the doctor.

"Sire, the transformation was not complete when she was awaken. All she said was naturally, so that tells us she woke up on her own. Now we are going to give her a transfusion so all her human blood is out of her system. We will need someone's blood." Without a word or looking Jonathan held his arm up.

"I will give my last breath for her to take one more." He said with tears in his eyes.

"Sit down and we will be along shortly."

Jonathan sat and soon saw Stefan and Ally next to him. "What's going on?"

"She is dying. It didn't take when we did it. She woke up too soon. They said she did it naturally and I hope that's the truth. She needs a transfusion I'm waiting so they can take mine."
