Blood Bound

Chapter 1

Salem, Oregon 1119

A loud scream erupted from the girls throat as she raced across the forest with blood dripping down her body from every direction. She could swear she was in actual hell from the way the creatures eyes had glowed red. Picking up the pace the girl cut corners as twigs and branches snapped underneath her bare feet. It had hurt like a fucking bitch but she knew she had to run. It was either run or face her own death and she wasn't ready to die yet. Not if what the creature had showed her was really her fate.

She turned to see if the creature was still following her but to her utter dismay her foot snagged on a branch and she was sent tumbling down a rather large hill that was complete with rocks, trees, and her personal favorite mud. She slid down the hill rapidly while twigs snapped and caught onto her dress tearing it and her flesh with it. She gritted her teeth when she had hit her back on something rather sharp at the ending.

She gasped in utter pain and despair as her hands went down to her stomach clutching at the tree branch that had impaled her there. It had hurt and it took her every bit of energy not to scream out so the creature wouldn't find her. She couldn't find her or else her soul would be doomed and sent to the worst parts imaginable well at least according to all the scriptures she had read.

As she laid there bleeding out she couldn't help of the decisions that had brought her to this point. She hadn't been a bad person pure se just a rather un pure one. It had all started when her best friend's betrothed had taken her into his cabin and made sweet love to her. She had had a crush on him for sometime and was rather jealous that his family had chosen her best friend instead of her because of how rich they were. To her that shouldn't have mattered. But than it had happened sweet whispers in the night of leaving together had turned to thoughts of murder and revenge. Of taking back what they had lost with each other ten fold. She knew it was better of her than to plot to kill her best friend, but when the time came it was her that had slit her best friends throat and it had been her with her best friend's blood on her hands.

As she thought of that she had thought of the final sin she committed as she rubbed her belly gently. She just hoped that no matter what happened to her that this baby would be alright. She prayed to God that her baby would be alright, but it hadn't been God who was listening.

Leaves crunched behind her as she looked up in horror. The creature had found her and she couldn't believe that after all she had done that this was her faint. She closed her eyes as the creature laid a claw on her. She almost shuttered away in fear but thought better of it. If she was going to die, she wouldn't die as a coward.

"I see that this form scares you. Let me change into one you recognize. "

Before the girl could say anything more the creature changed. She looked fascinated as she gazed on the most beautiful woman she had ever saw. If she hadn't had just saw her true form she would have thought she was more angel than a creature from hell.

The woman who appeared before her . Her hair was the brightest shade of crimson that she had ever saw and her eyes seemed like an endless sea of blue, so how could someone this beautiful turn into something so heartbreakingly evil?

She tried to speak, but every time she did it felt like sand paper on her tongue. She didn't want to die at least not until her baby was born.

"Don't worry I have heard your prayer and your baby will be safe. Unfortunately for you your fate had other plans."

Before the woman could speak, the dark angels dagger hit her throat causing her to bleed out in a pool of her own blood. She felt the life drain from her as she closed her eyes and everything went black.

The dark angels lips turned into a smile as she checked the woman's pulse. Now it was time to complete her mission. She moved to the girls stomach and drew her dagger across the dead gils stomach. A cry sounded as the dark angel smiled and removed the child. She looked down at the child as it squirmed in her arms. A lovely little girl was born today and she knew she just couldn't abandon her.

She held the baby close to her breast as conjured up the portal that would take both of them home. She just hoped the baby would be able to withstand the test of time.

When she had entered the realm of hell, The dark angel carried the baby to the devil's chambers. She just hoped that the master was not too terribly busy as she knocked on his door. He opened it with narrowed eyes and than gazed down upon the child furious. How dare she have brought this child to this realm.

He grabbed her free arm and dragged her into his chambers as he looked down at the child. She seemed as pure of a child as can be so why had this dark angel possessed the urge to bring her here and than he looked closer. This was a baby born in wedlock and adultery. Well at least she wasn't purely innocent.

The devil outstretched his arms as he grabbed the baby.

"Thank you for this gift child now do me a favor and kill yourself."

The dark angels face turned dark as she grabbed her dagger and slit her own throat bleeding all over his floors. He cringed and than looked down at the child whose eyes stayed on him like a hawk. He was amazed that she wasn't scared but intrigued.

"You my child will be called Letha."

16 years Later

Letha's eyes fluttered open as she took in the feeling of her satin sheets. She loved spending every morning here as she got out of her bed exposing her naked body and the man that now laid dead beside her. She wiped the left over blood from her mouth as she went to the other side of the bed and grabbed the bucket that was now overlapping with blood. Damn. It appeared as if she had gotten a bleeder this time. She sighed and carried the bucket of blood to the bathtub where she poured it in along with the other blood she collected that weak. She knew it was less than ideal, but it was how she survived in hell and she never wanted to leave. She had to commit sins to stay here and staying here is what she wanted to do forever.

After she was done with her bath she got dressed in her formal attire and made her way to her father's chambers. Letha had heard that he wanted to discuss something important with her, but she had no clue what it was. Hopefully her first mission ever. She was so happy.

When she entered her father's chambers, he smiled at her and gestured for her to sit down.

"Daughter, how are you doing today?"

Letha shrugged as if she couldn't care less and looked out the window at all the tortured souls. It was the best part of her day.

"I have an important assignment for you but you might not like it."

"Okay."

"I need someone to go back down to earth to set off a prophecy to destroy it and I want you my daughter to be that prophecy."

"Dad, you know how much I despise the human world."

"I know my daughter but since you have human blood coursing through your veins."

"What would I be doing?"

"I can't tell you that."

"How will I know what I'm supposed to be doing?"

"Well you see my daughter that's the catch I can't send you to earth without you losing all your memories of this place , but this cause is more important than you remembering. Please my daughter. Say you will."

Letha knew this wasn't the ideal life for her, but she also knew that this wasn't for negotiation so she nodded not willing to argue.

"I really will miss you."

"You too dad."

Than her skin felt as if it were burning as her world went black.

Now

Mystic Falls, Virginia 2016

Elena gasped as she sat up in her bed and looked around her. What the hell had just happened. She shook her head chasing the nightmares she kept having away as she got out of her bed. She had been having these nightmares since she was a small child and it was really starting to get to her. No matter what her doctors prescribed they just wouldn't go away.

"Elena, Breakfast!" her mother yelled from downstairs as she looked in her mirror and turned to where her weird shaped birthmark on her shoulders. She couldn't even describe what it was to herself. She sighed and got dressed going downstairs to return to her life, but what she didn't know was that today was the day that her life would change forever.
