Cecilia's Playmate (Cecilia Rose and William Wolfheart only)

[William Wolfheart]

England 1432, My family was rich...very rich and was famous for the merchants that came and went from town and our estate. We also had Blacksmiths coming and going to show their crafts during the annual festivals. As a kid I would run through the streets making trouble with the local and visiting merchants even though I was from a rich and noble family I stole food and coin and whatever I could to help the poor and needy. whenever I was caught and taken to my family I was punished by being whipped and placed in the dark dungeon. It was always cold and damp and my mother would bring me back to my room and tend to me as my sisters watched helpless. One night I was having nightmares and I woke in a cold sweat and I looked around before seeing a tall woman in a bright light and I sat up and looked at her.
"Who....who are you?" I asked still tired and waking up.
"I am the goddess Salene and you...are destined to save the world William Wolfheart." She said as she walked up the light around her fading and she sat on the bed and I let her somehow knowing she wouldn't hurt me.
"Me?....save the world? how can I? Why me? Why not choose someone else...someone with more...fighting experience...my parents won't allow me to learn to fight and every time I steal to help someone...I get beaten and thrown into the dungeon." I said still being about 14 years old and I was still cold from being brought from the dark cold and damp cell. I shut my eyes after memories came flooding back of my beatings and I began to shiver and she placed her arms around me and I started to warm up and I just let her hold me.
"My child it's alright, everything will be alright." She kissed the top of my head before vanishing and I looked around for her but found she was gone. I laid back down and fell back asleep. I soon woke to screams and shouting and I got up and went to the widow to see the town burning and hearing something I grabbed my knife I bought from a blacksmith and turning I found several guards and they ran and one picked me up and kept running till he was shot with in arrow and dropped me and I hit the floor and fell unconscious and the other guards attempted to get me but were also killed before I was found by a creature who picked me up and took me and placed me in a cage and took me to Hell.

after a year of sleeping I woke and looked around and I stood up and started to walk but I fell to the ground and screamed in pain and after a long time it had subsided and someone came in and placed something around my neck and tightened it almost chocking me and pulled me and I struggled against them but they took something and began to beat me and I had no choice but to go with them. it was hot but I felt cold and I looked around as I walked following a creature who held the leash in it's claws, I was scared and didn't know what to do as others looked at me and just watched not doing a thing knowing I was going to be a gift to someone of I never knew and would soon meet.
"Ah....this must be the boy you captured that would be a nice pet to my daughter." a man said in a strong husky low voice.
"Yes my lord...he gave no fight as we took prisoners and killed all who fought against us...they had no chance." The creature said tugging the leash which pulled me and made me fall to the ground onto my hands and knees. "Kneel before your new Lord...you Human filth...you do not deserve to stand before Satan the Great Lord of hell." it said and I closed my eye still scared and I stood up and he had gone to make me kneel again but Satan stopped him.
"no...let him stand...he is still young and he has much to learn...Where is my daughter? She should be here so that he may be presented to her. She deserves a playmate and a pet to serve her...maybe even be her guardian as she goes out on her trips into the city and do whatever she wishes with him...he is for her after all." He said smiling as I stared at him. "I know...why not we place him with the others...and she can choose between them. What do you think?"
"I think that is a grand idea My lord." The creature said as he pulled me and picking me up threw me into a cage with several other kids around my age...a mixture of boys and girls.

I curled up as girl crawled over to me, "You're from England...aren't you?" She asked.
"Yes." I answered too scared to think of anything else.
"You...are a wolf....you have the tail and ears of one and soon you will become one. you are the only one with the blood. many were captured during the war and sold as slaves to masters who will do anything with them...you are lucky..I have heard that Cecilia treats her pets well..but I've only heard stories. She is going to pick you while we are sold to other creatures and humans who came to live in Hell." She said sitting next to me and I closed my eyes and waited as I felt my neck and felt a collar and I attempted to take it off but to no avail and the girl just sat next to me while place her hand on me letting me know everything was okay.

I laid there as Satan ordered a guard to go and get his daughter Cecilia.
