Chapter One

The Sounds Of Hell


Madison Cullen

I knew that Benjamin was upset, over what however, I was completely clueless on. I guess I had expected him to tell me, but instead he was hiding on his own as he always had believing that his problems were too small to be shared with others.

I walked through the bushes where his scent began to get stronger, I heard a splash in the water, I wondered what it was, had Benjamin gone into the water?

I walked out, revealing myself to Benjamin with a delicate smile on my face trying to show him that I wasn't trying to intrude on his alone time, but by his reaction I guess he thought differently. "What the fuck do you want Madison?" He spat at me, which surprised me so much I felt my smile drop into a frown and I felt tears prick the corners of my eyes.

"Why are you yelling at me? I only came here to see if you were ok." I looked away from his burning gaze, the anger so prevalent in his eyes that it made my heart freeze in it's tracks knowing that his anger was now directed at me.

"Because all you fucking do it annoy me! You're up my back side all of the time and all I wanted was to be by my fucking self!" Benjamin snarled at me and I felt the anger boil up inside me as my tears spilled from my eyes.

"I only came to help you." I said, looking from his gaze and trying to direct my anger into something more productive, like kicking pebbles that were barely existent.

"I don't give a fuck Madison! All you do is take and take from me and then fuck me over like everybody else so just fuck off for once in your life and leave me the hell alone! You can't fix everything so stop fucking trying and give up already! I don't even know why the fuck you are with me! You could have any guy you wanted and yet you have to fucking chose me! Fuck off and leave me alone and get out of my way!" He hissed, and as he said those words I felt my heart beginning to break.

My voice broke on a sob as I whispered, I don't know why the hell you are been like this but I know how you feel Benjamin-"

"No! That's just it you don't! You don't know fucking nothing! You've lived your whole life so easyily! Your life has been so easy and a dream come true! You don't know what it is like to be beaten by your own father or to be cast aside by your family! You don't know what it's like to kill or to have been hunted for centuries! You have no idea what it is like to lose somebody you love or to lose your own child! You have no idea Madison! You're just a young fucking child who knows nothing, so just fuck off and accept that I'm never going to change!" Benjamin snarled and I felt my heart break. I don't know if that was literally, but all I knew was that my heart felt like it was been torn in half in that moment. I felt sobs rack my body, and I looked into Benjamin's eyes once more before I turned and fled away from him, not wanting him to see me like I was.

I ran in the only direction I knew was empty of people, the edge of the demon forest. I knew not to go fully into the forest because apparently once your soul was there you were trapped forever in the forest and I knew that because of these superstitions people would steer clear of that forest, so I ran towards the edges of it, keeping a safe distance from the actual forest.

As I looked into the forest though, I realised that some of the distorted trees looked like people, people I knew. I could see members of my family within the distorted barks of the trees, some of my friends from school as well.

I moved forward a little, carefully feeling transfixed by the trees as I stared at them not sure whether to look at them closer or run in the opposite direction to the forest.

That's when I heard the whisper.

"Madison… Madison Cullen…" And then I turned to see a figure that looked more like smoke than an actual living being. The person was in a cloak of smoke, but under that smoke I could make out his face… or rather his facelessness. His face was a skull. His eyes black holes that caught my eyes and seemed to hypnotise me as I took a final step forward crossing the line into the dark forest.

I watched as the shaded figure approached me, gasping for breath it seemed to be in pain, but the gasping soon turned into screaming, I tried to move but my feet were stuck into the ground as if they were locked in iron chains- no. As if they were in the clutches of a vampire themselves.

I screamed and looked around frantically as panic struck my body like a car colliding with a brick wall, the panic was sudden and onset and radiated through my body with a fierce passion, to me, in that moment nothing else mattered except my own self preservation as the jaws of the preadtor seemed to loom nearer and nearer to my throat as I gasped for breath as the monster had done at first.

My screams were taken by a sudden gurgle, and my body fell to the ground, but my spirit was still fighting as the monster dragged me away from the scene of the crime. Within seconds I saw Benjamin run to my dead body and he began to sob, whispering words I could bearly make out as I panicked against the force of the phantom; the demon who was dragging me to the abyss.

"No! I need to get back!" I screamed at the demon, but all I was returned with was a snarl and then a sudden gush of pain which made me buckle over in pain with a loud scream that sounded so unfamiliar from my lips because I wasn't a screamer. I was somebody who would hold the pain in unconditionally, but now nobody could hear my screams except the demon.

The black figure seemed to be more solid now as he pulled my spirit towards a pair of split trees, what lay between them must have been a portal of some sort because in between their broken branches was a vast expanse of thick smoke blocking out the view behind the trees.

"Benjamin!" I screamed his name, but I got no response as he sobbed over my broken body and began to pick me up, running away with my body and leaving me with the demon all by myself.

"Why do you fight, child? Why do you put up with this world? He doesn't want you. He said this to you already. Just give in and let me take your soul." The demon whispered seductively, "If you comply I promise you riches beyond your wildest dreams in the afterlife."

"No! NEVER!" I retorted, and then I wrenched my arm free of the demons, but I quickly realised in my spirit form I wasn't even half as strong as I was as a vampire, because the vampire was just a shell, a simple body.

This was the real world, the real realm where you would be tested on strength and intelligence. The demon lunged forward, I jerked back, aside. I then turned and threw a punch at the demon, the blow meant for his jaw whizzed by in a blur of knuckles. From the corner of my eye, I saw the demon's arm begin an uppercut to my jaw as well. I ducked just in time, and felt my hair ruffle with the force of it. Drop to the floor. Roll clear, stand. Don't let him connect. Draw it out. The demon charged with a roar like a bull. I sidestepped and whirled to face him. I lunged again, the demon avoided one of my fists, only to collide with the other.

The blow bounced off his ribcage, a sharp sting fading fast. In front of me, the demon chuckled and jabbed at my midsection.

"Did you really think you could out fight me? I am a demon born of death himself! How dare you think you can eliminate me that easily!" The demon yelled at me, and then he punched me again. Defeated, he dragged me through the clouded portal.
