"No, please, don't hurt him!" I watched in agony as Aro took a step closer to Peter.
"Now, now dear, I'm afraid I have no choice. He knows far too much. He could expose us all. You too have broken the law, most unfortunately, by telling him all of these things. Now, this will -"
"No!" I struggled against Felix's tight grip, eyes filled with panic as I screamed out the word for three seconds. Aro gave Felix a nod and he covered my mouth. Aro then turned to the fourteen-year-old boy with a frown.
"I am truly sorry that this must happen but, alas, no one is above the law." Taking another step closer, his scent filled his nose. Mouth – watering, no doubt. At this point, Peter began to tremble but remained still, his once sharp and snappy mood gone and replaced with fear. I sensed Aro's throat started to burn furiously as he took another step and got ready to sink his teeth into Peter's left shoulder. I let out a scream before taking Felix's hand and throwing his whole body against the stone floor of the room in an adrenaline rush. Dashing forward, I shoved Peter all the way through the door, turned around and pulled at my shirt just before Aro plunged his teeth into my newly exposed skin.
A cry of pain escaped my lips before I could silence it as I felt him suck at my blood and grab my shoulders with strong arms, pushing them toward each other.
"Master!" Someone breathed out a hiss in the background as my vision began to blur, my venom pouring out of my eyes. Aro pulled away after two more seconds of pain. I heard the faint sound of him licking his lips before he let out a small gasp of surprise, seeing me in front of him. Feeling the warm blood leaking from my shoulder and the vampires around me stiffen, I panicked and started to sing the first song that popped into my head.
You're not alone
Together we stand
I'll be by your side, you know I'll take your hand
When it gets cold
And it feels like the end
There's no place to go
You know I won't give in
No I won't give in
Keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through
Just stay strong
'Cause you know I'm here for you, I'm here for you
Slowly, I began to feel the calm feeling I just made spread through the room, my gift being used and draining the life out of me at the same time. I stopped mid song, taking a huge breath as a drop of blood came out of my mouth and ran down my lip. My eyes were useless to me as I felt two cold hands cupped my face. My venom stung my skin and possibly the person's as it continued to leak from my eyes. I prayed Peter made it out alive as I started to sing again, much weaker than before.
Keep holding on...
Keep holding on
There's nothing you could say
Nothing you could do
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through
My eyes closed out of exhaustion at the end of the song and I fell forward into Aro before I could escape.
Not one of my best work but I wanted to see how well I could write action and pain…didn't work out too well, in my opinion. Please let me know what you think and whether or not I should continue.
