When the End Comes you Let Go
Prologue
There were 13 if them, surrounding me. They seem to appear from bloody thin air! Red eyes saliva dripped from their bared fangs, I cringed inwardly. One of them lunged at me; I was ready. Thank the Heavens I was carrying a proper stake this time. An hour went by eight down five to go, I was getting really tired my movements became slow, body felt heavy. Don't give up Rose. Lissa needs you. That was all I needed to persist forward. I staked my ninth Strigoi when one of them gave a nod, I froze in my tracks; confused. Big mistake. The remaining Strigoi all sprang at me talking me to the ground. Oh shit, just what I need. I groaned. Soon I was pinned to the ground by four Strigoi; I struggled, screamed and kicked. Well tried to kick since my legs were unavailable at the moment. I received a kick in the stomach as a consequence. The breath was knocked out of me. I gasped for oxygen, but my lungs for some reason were closed off. Then I realized I was being strangled, black spots sprinkled my vision. Then as if some sort of miracle my airways opened.
"Ha-ha-ha the famous Rose Hathway-Mazur, losing." The leader of the gang sneered lowering his face inches away from mine.
"Fuck off you fucking cunt!" I spat at him. Wriggling from their grasps. He glowered, frowning. He punched me in the face; I didn't feel a thing due to the adrenalin pulsing through my body. I was gonna have some serious bruising tomorrow. If I walk away alive, that is.
"Now, now don't make me angry." He waved his index finger at me like a three year old in trouble.
"Oh Hell to what you feel, fuckhead!" I hissed.
My mind was racing; what was he going to do to me? Turn me? I shuddered at the thought of become a Strigoi. Suddenly something was shoved down my throat, I bit it; hard. A hiss escaped from the leaders lips. As soon as I bit down warm, sticky liquid flowed into my mouth, I instantly knew what it was refusing to swallow the blood began to choke me. Spluttering and trying to breathe while struggling to get free is a hard job and just as I thought I failed.
"Drink up my little Rosie or I'll send some of my men after that Dragmore Princess and you'll watch her die." He whispered in my ear. I immediately started to drink; I don't know how long I was there for lying on the ground willingly drinking from a Strigoi but I was relieved when I heard police sirens in the distance coming our way. The Strigoi pulled back getting ready to kill the coppers. I hastily got up and ran in the opposite direction with all the energy I had left. I ran across a freeway not looking to see if there were any cars. On my right I heard screeching tires I stopped in my tracks turning around to see what was going on. I turned to see a giant truck inches in front of me. The truck hit me flinging me ten feet from the ground. I felt nothing. I landed with a thud before plunging into darkness…
