Married to the Prince of Darkness (COMPLETED)

Chapter 66

Jacques stared at me like I had just grown a third eye in the middle of my forehead. He couldn't believe what I was suggesting, and in all honesty neither could I. Kidnapping Luc was a crazy idea and with a high chance of failing, but it was the only option we had, because right now we were stuck between a hard place and a rock. There were only two other options available to me. Firstly I could go back to Luc and try explaining to him about everything without any evidence to validate my claims. Or, I could stay here with Casper and see how long it will take for Luc to loose his shit and kill everybody.

I raked my hands through my hair and said, "I know it's crazy, but it's our best chance."

Jacques laughed, "Are you shitting me? What the hell are we going to do - hit him over the head with a big stick and carry him off in a sack? Come on, Mia, there is no way we could kidnap him. He's the prince of darkness for a reason, he is way too powerful for us handle by ourselves and even if we could, there is no way we would be able get close enough to him without being swarmed by his entire army of guards ! It would be impossible."

"It wouldn't be impossible, it would be difficult," I replied patiently. "Do you remember the fortress apartment and the room in the restaurant? Both of those areas had a special enchantment placed on them that only allowed members of the royal family to enter. If we could get Luc to meet me in one of those special places then we wouldn't need to worry about the guards because they couldn't enter the enchanted space!"

"Newsflash! If they can't enter, than I can't enter. You will need my help, Mia. I doubt you can incapacitate Luc all by your little old self," he said sarcastically

"I could do it by myself," I murmured softly as the cogs of my mind began to turn. "The method wouldn't be pleasant, but it would work."

"Okay, I know I'm going to regret asking, but how are you planing on  capturing Luc?" he sighed.

"Well, I was thinking about the time that nurse tried to poison me. To incapacitate her, I tore open the jugular vein and carotid artery in her neck. The damage to these major blood vessels was enough to create a massive blood loss, the kind of blood loss that enfeebles a vampire. So I figured if I could do the same to Luc, then we might have a chance of kidnapping him," I explained.

There was stunned silence. Jacques stared at me lost for words. He lifted his hands into the air and pushed himself. Shaking his head, he said, "No, this is lunacy - the type of sheer fucking lunacy where I end up dead and you'll end up being carted back to the palace where that psycho bitch can finish you off."

"Or it might work," I argued then sighed, "Look, I'm not pretending it's going to be a walk in the park, but it's worth a shot - especially if we can reunite them both. Please, Jacques! Both of them have been through so much pain, and I know deep down they both care about each other and we could just get them to talk-"

"Woah wait," he said, cutting across me as his suddenly eyes lit up. "We don't need to do any of that. In fact we don't even need to leave this barn to prove Casper's innocence. All you have to do is open your mind up to Luc and show him what you've seen. Once he sees the memory of Henrietta ordering Thelma's murder then he is sure to believe Casper!"

My heart sank in my chest. He had no idea I couldn't connect to Luc. I watched him from my crate excitedly start to babble about going back home to the palace and  seeing Henrietta's evil ass being dragged off to prison. Marching towards the barn doors he announced he was going to tell Casper the good news. Panicking I leapt off my crate and rushed past him, throwing my self in front of the door.

"You can't tell him," I said bluntly.

He blinked. "Why not?"

"I lied to you about my connection to Luc. I told you that I could connect to him if I wanted too, but the truth is I can't. There is something wrong with the connection between us and I can't get through to him anymore. It's like something or someone is blocking the channel between us," I explained.
