Prologue: Mystery to unfold
The penthouse didn’t feel like home anymore, it almost felt like a jar with lid screwed too tight.
A man with priests collar, his back straight, a red thread in his hands hums a tone walking towards the bedroom expecting the presence of his beloved wife,
Or let’s say bewitched wife.
Silas Vane
Elara *searches for her*
Bedroom was messy as ever all the sketches of Elara scattered all over the floor.
Silas Vane
Elara *says again calmly*
Elara who was just staring at mirror in the dresser gets startled when she feels Silas presence in room.
So she walks towards Silas
Elara Voss
Honey *walks towards Silas *
Elara Voss
You are home soon *smiles and just about to hug*
Elara Voss
*Looks at the red thread*
Just then her voice changed, she started suttering all of sudden her perfectly normal eyes starting to fade into something darker
Silas stood there his tall figure completely towering Elara, but was he shocked instead he smiled quite a sight reserved only for his wife or was it something? A recognition flashed in his eyes.
Silas Vane
Elara *goes near and pulls her close, hands exactly on her waist*
As possessive as a touch could be,
Silas Vane
Elara this is for you
Elara Voss
Me? What for *In a disgusted tone*
The read thread glows in a way that’s impossible for a normal thread, it looks blood red glowing and extremely dark.
Elara Voss
*Takes few step back and turn her back to Silas completely releasing herself from his grip*
Silas Vane
*Laughs in almost a comic way*
Silas Vane
*starts weaving the thread in his hands and says something*
The bedroom turns cold as Silas walks towards Elara again he mumbles loud enough for Elara to hear
Silas Vane
Binding the heart, binding the soul
*pauses as he kisses Elara’s neck from behind closing the distance between them*
His voice drops almost horror when he continues his verse in his unholy rhythm
Silas Vane
For what is stitched in blood is made whole..
*says complete*
Just then Elara’s heart dropped her eyes darkened completely then she speaks in a voice that’s almost heavy, horror in ways that completely erased her own presence.
Demon
Get away from me you filthy priest
*shouts*
Demon
y..you think a bit of glowing silk makes you a god?
Demon
You aren’t saving her, just securing the cage isn’t it *laughs in higher pitch*
Just then the vases in room completely shatter blasted all over the floor
Demon
*laughs and says ina menacing voice*
It’s such a good stage, I feel like dancing with my husband
Elara runs over the shattered pieces manically as if she has lost her all senses. The cold atmosphere and such presence of Elara wasn’t only chilling but also a sight Silas couldn’t bear to see.
Silas Vane
Don’t you anger me, while her blood is dripping *pauses as his heart tighten at sight*
Silas Vane
Because you have impeccable wish to show me your face *starts laughing*
Silas Vane
Pitiful you are *shakes his head*
Silas Vane
Sit. You are bruising my property, you know how I loathe a tarnished vessel, The price of her skin is your silence remember that *smiles calmly warning the demon*
Demon
D..do you think you are place to threaten me while your wretched wife is going nuts because you don’t even share a bed with her *laughs mockingly*
Demon
Filthy priest who kills people in name of exorcism isn’t able to command me what’s the base of your comman-
Silas Vane
*grabs Elara’s body and yanks against the cold wall*
Demon
*eyes darkening in anger*
Silas Vane
By the marrow in the bone ...
Silas Vane
By the blood upon the stone...
Silas Vane
This temple is mine and I’m the throne
*says as he grabs her hair in possessive way*
The red thread still tangled on his one hand glowing redder with every verse he spelled
He commands the demon in his frightening self
Silas Vane
Crawl to the corner sink to the floor, you are the shadow but I’m the door...
Silas Vane
*smiles looking deep into Elara’s eyes his hand still grabbing her hair*
Demon
*Panic rising in demons eyes that was very visible*
Silas Vane
I brought this flesh with my soul’s heavy fee...
Silas Vane
Kneel at her feet and submit onto me
*anger and hurt flashing in his eyes*
Silas Vane
In the name of father, son and the holy sprit *takes the cross out of his pocket*
Silas Vane
*puts cross on Elara’s head*
A wicked menacing cry that leaves Elara’s lips as she kneels to the floor because of a command that was even difficult for a demon to escape
Silas Vane
What do you want? *a cold voice*
Demon
You *laughs struggling as it slowly leaves Elara’s body and vanishes into the air*
Silas eyes wide open while Elara collapses into the floor as soon as the demon vanishes Silas drops the cross also the blood glowing thread in his hands, not even time to wonder what he just witnessed in his wife’s body
Elara Voss
*consciousness coming back*
Silas Vane
*immediately calms down *
Silas Vane
Elara you have hurt yourself don’t struggle let me carry you to our bed
Silas Vane
*carries elara to the bed put her down*
Silas Vane
Wait *looks at her feet worrying as he rushes to grab the first aid*
Silas aids his wife during the whole moment not even a single ouch escaped Elara’s lips, In the moment Silas busy to aid his wife his wife stops him mid way a eyes full of tears
Elara Voss
Silas I’m scared, I can’t even feel the pain anymore as if I’m numbed what did you drag me to? *eyes welling*
Silas Vane
*seals her lips with a possessive kiss his hand traveling her waist with an assured touch*
Silas Vane
*pauses* Calm down remember you are now under my roof
A desire burns in Elara’s eyes that makes Silas skip a beat in his heart but he refuses to give in and why is that?
Silas continues aiding his wife up and he is about to leave the room
Elara Voss
*holds his hands* Stay
Elara Voss
I need you here, the air still tastes like dark, please *hesitant*
Silas Vane
*takes his hands back* You will be fine i have some research to do, good night
Silas leaves the room leaving her wife, why would he leave his wife alone after such an incident or was it like this from very before,
Quite a mystery left for you to unfold, see you at the next door.
The Beginning
So let us all drift to the backstory,
[The room is choked with smell of beeswax and expensive scotch, Two men sitting themselves on sofa on living room and are chatting looking at the piece of paper in their front that seems to be a contract for some agreement.]
[The contract is named Sacred Covenant of Custodianship, a party’s signature already there while another party’s signature is yet missing.]
Silas Vane
*looks at the paper and reads it*
Silas Vane
*watches the ice clink against Arthur's glass*
Silas Vane
You're shaking, Mr. Voss. Is the room cold?
Aurthur Voss
Well I’m still not sure about this Father Vane, no matter how bad the situation is we Vosses have some reputation to maintain
Silas Vane
I know your history, Mr. Voss. Better than the Vatican. Better than you.
Silas Vane
Unfortunately you have a promise that may cost you your whole name and all your remaining life to repay
Silas Vane
*says without any hesitation*
Aurthur Voss
I’m aware father but handing my niece to you who is also an active vessel sounds…
Aurthur Voss
Sounds improper *turns his back to Silas and looks outside the window*
[Outside it rained, quite a view for such a tense evening they both had. Dense droplets of rain washing away the dirt of leaves as unbothered as nature could be.]
Silas Vane
Perhaps factually it’s better if she stays with me
Silas Vane
We know people talk don’t we *smiles sipping his whisky*
Aurthur Voss
Perhaps that’s for good but I wish you take her custody but also marry her what say about that? *questions nervously*
[Silas smile fades mid way after hearing Arthur’s words but he looks at his face that was not only pleading but also fixated serious.]
Silas Vane
This is whole different agreement, Mr Voss.
Silas Vane
Do you realize I’m an exorcist promised to celibacy? *says calmly*
Silas Vane
💭 My neck feels like it’s burning. To marry her is to betray the Vatican... but to let a Vessel like her walk free is a sin I can't allow.
Aurthur Voss
I’m aware and it can stay a secret *shift in tone*
Aurthur Voss
This is only way you have my agreement else my niece is also precious to me
Aurthur Voss
She is last one in our bloodline and not to mention she is incredibly precious to me*smiles*
[The only sound in the room is the heavy rain against the glass. Silas stares at the contract, his face a mask of stone.]
Aurthur Voss
All I owe you is a promise and I hope we can agree on terms
Silas Vane
💭what have I dragged myself into
Silas Vane
You can sign these papers now *passes the papers to aurthur*
Aurthur Voss
Good we have an agreement then *sighs deeply looking at the paper then signs it*
[CLICK. The heavy oak doors unlock from the outside.]
Aurthur Voss
She mustn’t know of this agreement least we can discuss is marriage *says straight*
Silas Vane
But remember, Mr. Voss... once she enters the Vatican, she belongs to me, my church. Not you.
[A young woman in her early 20s enters inside the living room, just to address the sight of her uncle and an unknown man seated in the living room without looking she walks towards her uncle while she was still drenched from rain outside,]
Elara Voss
Baba I didn’t knew you had a company *walks in*
Elara Voss
💭a priest what is he doing here
[Elara turns her eyes towards the guest, Silas who was just looking at her straight without any emotions]
Aurthur Voss
Elara you are drenched in rain why don’t you listen how hard is it to carry umbrella *starts saying calmly as he grabs the towel and hands it to her*
Elara Voss
Baba why are you so worked up it’s just harmless rain you look like you need a hug though *teasingly about to hug him*
Aurthur Voss
Elara don’t you dare *says warning her*
Elara Voss
*rolls her eyes* You are no fun
Aurthur Voss
Elara behave *says looking at Silas who is just sitting there looking at both of them*
Aurthur Voss
Let me introduce you important man here, Silas Vane
Aurthur Voss
Chief exorcist of the Vatican.
Elara Voss
*eyes wide open in denial*
[Elara clearly shocked of the presence she was having in her house she knew her family is quite influential in the city but she wondered what the chief exorcist of the city is doing at her house, she completely confused Elara decides to speak]
Elara Voss
why- I mean pleasure to meet you father *bows*
Silas Vane
Likewise Elara call me Silas *says calmly*
Elara Voss
*looks at her uncle confused* May I ask what’s happening here I quite don’t understand baba
Aurthur Voss
It’s just that father Vane wants to tie knots with our family so he came with a proposal
Silas Vane
*Rightfully nods at Elara*
Elara Voss
Knot and exorcist with who? *says confused*
Aurthur Voss
We will discuss it after you change go change and be back *send her to her room to change her drenched clothes*
Elara Voss
Ok baba *goes to her room*
Until Elara comes again they both sit in silence sipping their drinks
Elara Voss
*comes back and sits aside her uncle*
Elara Voss
Baba *looks at him*
Aurthur Voss
Let’s put this straight Elara father Vane wants to marry you *says with hint of nervousness *
[Elara couldn’t believe what her uncle just said she was looking at Silas if he said right just then Silas nods]
Elara Voss
But baba how can exorcist marry? and with me? *says disturbed and confused *
Aurthur Voss
Look Elara just trust me on this and Father vane is here to protect us and on our favor just don’t disagree *says assuringly*
Aurthur Voss
Don’t ask me why my Ela *says smiling*
Silas Vane
You will be in right hands *says coldly with a piercing gaze*
Elara Voss
💭I have never seen baba this nervous and disturbed perhaps I shall just agree to this
Elara Voss
Sure but I’d like to know details sooner later *says tensed*
[The moment the word 'Sure' leaves her lips, the temperature in the room drops until their breath turns to mist.]
Silas Vane
💭Contract is sealed now
[Suddenly, Elara’s body jerks backward as if pulled by an invisible hook. Her spine snaps into a rigid, painful arch.]
Elara Voss
*chokes her hands flying to her throat as her eyes roll back into her head*
Aurthur Voss
*panics* Father do something I.. Elara
Silas doesn't move. He watches with a dark, satisfied intensity as Elara’s shadow begins to crawl up her own skin like black ink.
Elara Voss
*her jaw drops open at an impossible angle. When she speaks, it is a chorus of a thousand screaming voices*
Marble and Silk
Welcome to the new episode,
Let your excitement rise to turns to the twists of story,
[The word “MINE” that escaped Elara’s throat wasn’t just a mere voice, it echoed on walls the floorboards the very foundation of Voss Manor.]
[Indeed it was roar of ancient, suffocating static that made the air turn black, just when the word stop echoing comes a major silence that after a storm]
[The massive stained glass windows of that same living room explodes, inwards, the shards of colored glasses become lethal rain scattering around the room all over the floor]
Aurthur Voss
*runs under his mahogany desk*
Aurthur Voss
Do something Silas *panics*
Silas Vane
*Doesn’t moves*
[Silas just stands there unfazed still within a handful distance to Elara as he moves towards her a piece of glass slits his cheekbones area, drawing thin crimson line but his body even didn’t bother to flinch]
Demon
*looks at Silas just as he approached*
Demon
*boiling anger in her eyes*
[He stepped closer, his leather boots crunching the remains of glass saints, He reaches out, his gloved hand slamming against Elara’s throat who was just above him hung in the air against the gravity]
Demon
Get away you filthy priest *shouts*
Silas Vane
Shh….Enough *says as he smiles*
[His other hand reaches his pocket his valued cross, he takes it out and places on Elara’s head]
[As his fingers around Elara’s throat tightened, he starts incantation, and no it wasn’t a prayer it was a command]
Silas Vane
*smiles calmly*
Silas Vane
Per sigillum antiquum, sanguis ad sanguinem…
"By the ancient seal, blood to blood…"
Demon
AGHHH IRONN …. BURNS *shouts in demonic voice*
Silas Vane
Non es dominus huius carnis. Ego sum emptor. Ego sum finis.
"You aren’t the master of this flesh I’m the buyer I’m the end."
[A shockwave of pure holy pressure slammed into walls, snuffing out every candle in the room. The black veins in Elara’s skin pulsed once, violently, before receding like tide of oil.]
The gravity returned. Elara’s body went limp, falling forward.
[Silas caught her, not gently like a lover but like a hunter catching the prey.]
[He pulls her cold, sweating body against his chest as he held her]
Aurthur Voss
Elara my dear *looks at his unconscious niece*
Aurthur Voss
Is it over father *asks impatient*
Silas Vane
For you yes your debt is paid, the Vatican will bury the records of what you did to your sister Mr Voss.
[Silas adjusted Elara in his arms, lifting her easy, He looks down at her pale, unconscious face, A drop of blood from her cheek fell into her forehead, staining her skin]
Silas Vane
But for my bride *looks at Elara*
Silas Vane
It’s all the beginning.. prepare to send her with me right now
Aurthur Voss
But now instantly *furrows his brow*
Silas Vane
Yes right away *smiles*
A high-altitude vault of obsidian and black marble. A massive bed is draped in deep black silk that feels like liquid ice, mirrored by heavy silk curtains that seal out the world. The space is heavily furnished in sterile, polished stone, featuring floor-to-ceiling glass that overlooks the Vatican from a height of 1,000 feet.
Followed by the nightmare of Elara in the same bed she wakes up as he screams
Her eyes searches the familiarity to be seen around but she finds none she scans the room while her heart hammers against her ribs when she finds nobody but only herself Ina cold room that looks like a cage
Desperate, she searches for Silas because the silence was already starting to eat her up from inside
Elara Voss
Father *screams as she runs towards the door barefoot*
Silas Vane
Stop screaming bird it’s my home not some zoo *says as he just about to walk inside*
[Thud:Silas falls on ground being collided with running force of Elara towards the door]
[To busy to care about she was on top of Silas, she hugs him pinning themselves to the ground of cold marbles]
Silas Vane
*eyes widened in shock*
Silas Vane
I..*struggling*
Elara Voss
Father what is this place…I’m sorry I was scared *tear welling up her eyes*
Silas Vane
*Holds her waist as he stands up straight with her on his arms*
Silas Vane
*puts elara on her feet and distances himself*
Silas Vane
*clears his throat* You don’t have to cry that you are in your new home
Silas Vane
Is our bedroom that scary?
Silas Vane
*asks actually concerned *
Elara Voss
Our? *looks behind at the room*
Silas Vane
Yeah ours *calmly*
Elara Voss
*gulps* why am i already here?
Silas Vane
Because your possession has already started and you need to be secured
Elara Voss
What does it has to do with you I mean .. I don’t understand
Elara Voss
Why? *scaredly*
Silas Vane
Elara just take it as that your uncle sold you for his sins *coldly*
Elara Voss
How dare you talk like that about my baba *shouts as her eyes wells up*
Silas Vane
You can trust me I’m no liar, you are caged for rest of your life little bird
Silas Vane
Elara it’s not my will to do this *gets closer as he cups Elara’s cheeks*
Silas Vane
But I want to say I’m not a good person either
Silas Vane
I have a history darker than demons, I dealt with demons more than half of my life and you are my price also my prize
Silas Vane
Ever since you were born *sighs*
Silas Vane
You were promised to me, my blood
Silas Vane
Make yourself feel at home the faster the better
As if the floor slipped under her legs Elara feels numb unable to speak or ask anything anymore, even to realise the cage the catastrophe occupied her head all she saw on sight was Silas on the empty cold penthouse.
Silas walks toward the dresser room, a big mirror embedded with crystals and pearls standing on old wood which was covered with a gold silk cloth, Silas quickly uncovers the mirror
Silas Vane
Come see your own truth *nods*
Elara Voss
*walks terrified in front of the mirror*
Elara turns her head, her eyes wide with terror. In the reflection, she doesn't see a girl in a penthouse. She sees her own silhouette, but it's vibrating with a violent, violet energy the "possession" Silas warned her about.
[Behind her reflected image, a massive, distorted shadow with eyes that match the ones from her deepest meditations begins to uncoil from her spine. It isn't standing behind her; it is part of her.]
Valerius
Pleasure to meet you finally *wicked smile*
A huge presence that glowed in the mirror just behind Elara’s image in the mirror, the smell of rot followed the room and her heartbeat went up just when she was about to be consumed by the night mare Silas covers the mirror back.
Silas Vane
Believe me now? *smiles*
[Elara struggled as her heart didn’t seemed to have stopped hammering against her rib cage]
Silas Vane
Calm down you will get used to it *smiles warmly*
Elara Voss
*hugs silas* Calm me down because I can’t believe this my heart
Silas Vane
Elara don’t come at me like this I prefer some distance *straight to point*
Demon
Why? Last time I heard she was about to be your wife, what’s wrong in bodys touching
Demon
*hands roam all over Silas head her head resting on his chest*
Silas Vane
Don’t you seduce me I own the skin you are wearing right now overrated tricks don’t work on me demon *laughs manically *
See you at the next door🚬
