I lay in bed staring out of my window as rain drops hit my window. It was a dark summer night since it was a new moon. The only light came from the occasional lightning bolt but I didn't mind. Rain was always my favorite type of weather and the heavier the better. It always meant that the morning would bring nothing but sweet soothing smells. I heard the door click locked behind me but it never stopped me from continuing my gaze through the panes. Every night like clockwork my door was locked from the outside so that I could not leave. When I did ask my father all he said was that it was something you did too keep a young lady safe, and I never questioned it again.
The largest bolt of lightning that night dashed across the sky, lighting up the whole garden that rested a few landings below my window. Just as it lit up the yard something or someone dashed across and behind my favorite rose bush. It caught my eye forcing me out of my trance and into the world again. What was that? I thought to myself. I sat up straighter on the window bench looking harder at the dark ground. Another flash of lighting lit up the grounds again showing that the blob had moved closer. Revealing more shape and showing it as that of a man of large woman. I pressed up against the window shocked and mystified that someone would be in the rain on our grounds. No one was aloud on the grounds after dark. Ever since I was little it was always a rule. Actually I should say it was a command. The last person that disobeyed this command was never seen again on these grounds.
My face was now pressed up against the window squishing my cheeks and nose as I tried to get a closer look. It was as if the ground was getting darker the closer I got. It felt as if time had stopped before the next bolt shot across the dark sky revealing a figure now standing on my window ledge. I screamed and shot off the bench and onto the floor. Still in shock I was not able to scream anymore as the window opened like a gust of wind pushed it open. But I knew that wasn't possible. The window has been unable to open since I could remember. The soaked figure stepped a booted foot upon my floor slowly as if not too spook me.
"Natasha" The figure spoke to me. Stepping closer as it's was face slowly becoming visible. "Natasha, come to me." I just gasped. Not able to speak or move. As they stepped to the lamp light I was able to see his face clearly. The man was a beautiful specimen even though he had obvious scars across his face. Though the scars almost made his beauty. Like a small nose might change a woman's face to make it more beautiful compared to a larger one. But there was something wrong. His eyes were too dark and his mouth too red. I didn't know why but something seemed off about him. "Come to me" He said with a small smile. And then I saw them. His teeth were pointy and sharp and I knew from then what he was. A vampire. There was a vampire in my room. Now not only could I move but I could scream and I did.
"Help! Someone help me!" I said screaming and running towards my door and jiggling the door knob fiercely but it would not budge. "Damn it father! Unlock the door!" The creature did not move any faster though he did begin laughing. "There is no point in fighting it young one. You will be coming with me this night. Hopefully alive. That is what my master wishes anyways." I stopped trying to fight with the door grabbing the candle stick next to me and turning towards my attacker.
"If you think that you will take me without a fight you are surely mistaken!" I swung the stick out in front of me towards the man but he just darted smoothly to the side. It tried again and again but it only seemed too tire me out. But I continued to swing and try to move closer towards something longer and heavier. As I stepped a little out of his reach we heard running and yelling from down the hall. "Hold on Natasha. We're coming! Just hold on!" But it was too late the noise startled me and drew my attention away from my attacker and he bested me. Grabbing me by my waist he lifted me onto his shoulder and we were out the window. "FATHER! FAAATTTHHHEERR!" I screamed until my lungs hurt and my head became light and heavy. It wasn't long before I just gave into the urge and passed out from lack of oxygen.
I woke up what felt like immediately after I passed out but since I no longer felt the wind on my face I knew that we had stopped flying. So I guessed I had been out longer than I thought. The first thing I did after I regained consciousness was remain perfectly still. I wanted to see if I can hear anyone in the room without letting them know I was conscious. I laid there for a while and hoped I wouldn't hear any rustling. After what seemed like forever I slowly opened up my eyes and looked around the room at my surroundings. From what I could tell I was in an empty room on a large plush bed, and my clothes had been changed into a long silk nightgown instead of the cloth night shirt I had been wearing when I was taken from my room. Body also hurt like crazy all over. It was like I had been kicked multiple times over and over in every zone of my body. I tried moving from the middle of the bed but found it almost impossible from the pain so I just lay back down in the bed and closed my eyes.
"Is she alive?" I heard a small voice ask from my side followed by the bed beginning to move slightly. "I dunno. Not many people can live through something like that." I finally opened my eyes and turned my head too find two small children sitting on the edge of my bed. All three of us screamed while I just jumped back a bit, they screamed and fell off the edge of the bed. The crash started us both as well as someone outside the room apparently because the door opened abruptly. "You two better not be both the misses." A small troll looking woman stormed into the room. "Your mother would be very angry if she found out you bothered her. Out. Out." She ushered the now giggling children out of the room and shut the door behind them, turning back towards me. "So you are awake", she said smiling at me. "I hope they didn't bother you too much miss." I just stared at her still in shock. "Oh how rude of me. You are probably very confused right now. Are you not?" All I could do was shake my head yes. "All you need to know for the moment is that you are safe and I am here to keep you comfortable and safe. My name is Liana, Natasha." "Hi Liana. Where am I?" I was finally able to piece together a sentence. "Let me just say that you are no longer in your home town. But other than that I have not been given permission from the mistress too reveal anything else." She said coming closer to the bed and offering out her hands to help me out.
Scooting over to the edge of the bed my nightdress rose too show bites all over my skin. "What in the world?" I said pulling up more and more and still finding bites. "Oh I wish you hadn't seen that Natasha. The mistress will be angry she wasn't able to tell her yourself." "Tell me what Liana! Why are there bites all over me?" She looked down at the ground and started fiddling with her fingers. "I guess it can't wait much longer. All I can tell you is that here soon you will no longer be human. But a full blood vampire. Please don't ask anymore the mistress will already be angry with me if she found out you knew this much." But I was not able to talk. All I could do was jump from the bed ignoring the pain and strip off my gown completely too reveal my body completely covered in dried blood and bites. "A VAMPIRE?"
