Hunted
" With one light on in one room,
I know you're up when I get home
With one small step upon the stair,
I know your look when I get there
If you were a king up there on your throne,
Would you be wise enough to let me go?
For this queen you think you own
Wants to be a hunter again,
Wants to see the world alone again
To take a chance on life again, so let me go
The unread book and painful look,
The TV's on, the sound is down
One long pause, then you begin,
Oh look what the cat's brought in
If you were a king up there on your throne,
Would you be wise enough to let me go?
For this queen you think you own
Wants to be a hunter again,
Wants to see the world alone again
To take a chance on life again,
So let me go, let me leave
For the crown you've placed upon my
Head feels too heavy now
And I don't know what to say to you
But I'll smile anyhow
And all the time I'm thinking, thinking
I want to be a hunter again,
Want to see the world alone again
To take a chance on life again, so let me go
I want to be a hunter again,
Want to see the world alone again
To take a chance on life again,
So let me go, let me leave, let me go..."
(Hunter [#2], By, Dido - No Angel)
I hunt you in the night and stalk you in the dark. You don't know I'm there. You don't see me. You can't even feel my presence. You don't even know I exist. But I'm coming. And just know, that I'm coming for you…
*¤ ~ *¤* ~ ¤*
My eyes adjust to the sight before me. I tingle with the excitement of my prey's heartbeat. I hear it beat faster and faster. "THUMP, THUMP, THUMP." I love the chase. I've been toying with this particular girl all week. She reminds me of that pop princess… What's her name? Christina Ag… NO. Jess– no that's not it either… BRITNEY! Yea, this girl looks just like that Britney Spears girl. Funny aint it? I shall devour her more slowly in honor of the Celebrity of course.
*Run, run, run little one. The big bad wolf is coming to eat you!* I whisper in the frightened girls mind. My paws are thumping hard against the city streets pavements; I see that she has lost her high-heeled shoes. The muscles in my hind legs stiffen as I am ready to pounce –but the girl fakes a left and has actually caught ME off guard.
My prey thinks she's lost me. I turn back to human form and hide behind a nearby tree.
"I KNOW YOU'RE STILL OUT THERE!" She screams terrified.
I can barely stifle my laugh. How pathetic can you get? I linger behind the tree only seconds before mystifying myself and reappearing behind my unsuspecting prey.
*Can you honestly say that anyone will miss you?* I hiss in her mind.
She spins around, her eyes dart everywhere. She's standing right directly in front of me, yet she cannot see or feel my presence. That's what my kind does best. We can disappear ourselves from the face of the earth within the drop of a dime.
The Silver line. I smile. Not everyone can be as lucky as us. We're dominant to every species on this planet. Well actually. I AM, dominant to all creatures. You see, my mother, Ephyra, was a Vida witch who had betrayed her kind to become a vampire with my father, Jager. Together they lived happily –and unstoppably, in love. That is, until Epione and Siete.
How the hell did they (My mother and father) produce me you say? Well actually that is a miracle of it's own. Since my mother is a witch, she knew of a spell to help her and my father have a child. And ta da! Out came me! Only that's not the half of it. I contain all the qualities of a Vida witch, and all the qualities of the strongest vampire known to man. But that's nothing compared to the fact that I'm still one hundred percent human. I'm a hybrid to other things as well. I can be any animal I choose to be. Like Risika I favor the tiger. But unlike Risika, I can posses all the characteristics of the animal I choose to be without even changing my form. This is because of my half mother. Tora. The one who feed me her blood when I was born so that I could control the bloodlust… I can hunt like the Tigris but still appear to be human. I can rip you apart as if my claws and talons were shredding you completely. But I will still be the human girl I am now.
Although my line is strong, we cannot control our emotions at times. The one weakness I have. ANGER. The only other thing about me that I think you should know is that I'm not immortal. Surprised? You should be, it was my choice after all…
I wipe my mouth clean with the sleeve of my prey's cotton sweater. Sweet, poor little girl. I think as I stroke the cheek of the once alive and beautiful blonde girl. I never even got her name. Oh well. I'll call her Britney. I think as I toss her body away a couple of feet to my right.
"Hey watch it Thalia! You almost took my head off!" I hear Risika whine.
"Wouldn't be much of a loss." I shrug. Risika is my best friend because we are the most powerful of all Silver line vampires.
"Ha, ha. So VERY funny Thalia" Risika says as she places her hands on her hips.
"I thought so." I grin. My fangs showing.
"I saw your father with Fala tonight." She turns serious.
"What." I stiffen.
"They were uh… Close." She looks to the floor like she just betrayed me completely.
"Where?" I bark.
"Las Noches."
I mystify before us and am in Las Noches before you could even say the name of the club. As I shape back into human form I see Risika to my left, shifting back as well. I look around. I see Fala and my father at a near by table. I stomp over to them and sit in front of Fala's face.
"What do you think you are doing?" I say to my father.
"This is not your place… Tha-"
I grab Fala's throat before she could finish. I squeeze her until I see her eyes bulge.
"Thalia." My father's voice is threatening.
My eyes dart towards him but my grip is no less on Fala. I feel her nails scratch at my skin. I squeeze harder. "What is it? Father?" I ridicule. "Anything, just SPEAK it!" I snap.
"Stop it." His tone is angry.
I only tighten my grip.
"Thalia!" He yells.
I release her. She grabs at her throat and tries to catch her breath and heal the cuts I made when I dug my nails in her skin. Just as she had done to me. Only my wounds healed seconds after the contact of her nails. Where my damage to her will take days to heal. I have Vida blood running through me, vampires cannot handle the mixture. Not even my own father. I look to him again.
"Why?" I scowl.
"Your mother's gone Thalia. She's not coming back." He pauses and shakes his head slightly; "I cannot be alone for eternity."
Everyone has gone back to his or her own things but Aubrey lingers in the shadows. He knows I see him. I lock eyes with him and look away. I can't deal with him right now. I glance to my right and see Nikolas and Kristopher walk in with their sister Nissa. Nissa Looks at me and shakes her head no. I look to Kristopher who shakes his head also. Then my eyes travel to Nikolas. He only grins and shrugs his shoulders. They know I shouldn't test my father. Only Nikolas is the defiant one of them. He walks up to the table and whispers in my ear.
"I see Aubrey is staring at you again." He kisses my temple. Then looks to where Aubrey stands. "Doesn't he get it? You're mine." I feel Nikolas slide his hand up and down my vertebrae then he stops to rest it on the small of my back.
"Stop it Nikolas, I don't need this right now." I growl.
"Later than, my sweet." He kisses my hand, lingering at my ring finger. He chuckles and walks off.
I turn back to my father, who looks amazed at the transaction between me and Nikolas. "What?" I spit at him. Anger boiling in my blood. I feel all the others in the room back off a couple of feet. Good, I think. Stay away. Or be eaten. I lick at my lips and teeth like a tiger that has just finished eating her prey, satisfied.
"Nothing. I just see how much you remind of your mother right now." He gazes into my eyes.
"She's gone. She's not coming back. Remember? REMEMBER father? It was your exact words that spoke the truth not only moments before." My voice is cold and heartless.
My father flinches, "That hurts baby." His tone is sad.
"Life's a bitch. Than you die- but that part doesn't apply to you now does it? Father."
He glanced at me once more before getting up and leaving the club. And in our way of life, that is the biggest disgrace of all. Walking away from the other when a conversation is not from first to last, from beginning to end, from start to finish. I see Fala about to walk out and no doubt to meet up with my father. I reach out and grab her by the arm, whipping her back my way.
"Stay away from him Fala. Or I'll get rid of you. Got it?" I muttered in her ear. Sending chills down her spine. I feel her tremble in my hand. "And if you think I'm playing," I look to Aubrey and nod; he throws his silver blade my way. And I point the sharp edge to Fala's Heart. "Got it?" I raise a perfectly arched eyebrow in amusement. She nods vigorously. "Say it." I hiss.
She is quiet.
"SAY IT!" I scream and slash her arm with the knife. She screams in pain but I still hold her arm in my hand. "Say it or die here." I whisper.
"I'LL STAY AWAY FROM JAGER!" She shrieks.
"Good girl." I scorn her and heave the tramp clear across the room. "Thanks." I throw the Vida knife back to Aubrey.
He walks over to me and touches my cheek soft, "When did this heart turn so cold?" his eyes somehow seem sad. He breathes in my ear.
I close my eyes as the ecstasy hits me like a thunderbolt. My breath deepens.
He grunts soft. *So pure.* He says in my mind. *So sweet, why now so heartless? When did this heart turn so cold Thalia?* He repeats his prior question.
"The day my mother died." I say before disappearing in front of everyone.
