My first house of night fanfic! Enjoy! :D
Pain…agony unimaginable seared through me as I registered three individual one through my wing. That little man made metal ball was enough to remove me from the comfort of the night and send me spiraling to the ground. Crashing down flat on my back, my body further crushing my damaged wing. A scream tore from my lips. I dragged myself on my hands and knees to lean against a tree, awaiting death…
It's been nearly an hour and death has not claimed me yet. Not yet but almost…I hope. My senses seemed to be fading. My thoughts were cloudy. I couldn't seem to focus on a single train of thought. At least, I'd die content. I've done my duty as a son. I stood by my father until death.
A sharp sigh punctured through the fog in my mind and my senses sharpened. I opened my red eyes with a new sense of awareness. I took notice immediately of the vampire before me. For a moment I was lost by her exotic crimson tattoos, her tiny figure and her adorable short bouncy curls. My breath quickened and I reminded myself of what I had to do.
'Kill me. Finish it.' I rasped out. My pain returned along with my senses.
She stared at me, unmoving. I've never felt so weak. She stood before me, power emanating from her and such kindness in her eyes. It frightened me but I refused to allow it to show. I won't allow anyone to see me in fear.
My eyes widened slightly as she stepped behind me. Instead of striking the killing blow, she wrapped her arms under mine and started to drag me to a small shelter with almost no difficultly despite her size. On my part however, I had to suppress noises of pain.
I am a raven mocker. She is a vampire. We are enemies. She should have killed me on first glance. Why is she sparing my life?
