The sun had gone down and the moon canopied the night clear sky, the clouds had been washed away and stars blinked down onto the Branches' of the tall trees which were reaching out like fingers grasping for thin air. The ground soft from the down pour of rain for earlier, animals were hiding in their homes away from the thundering sound of feet pounding against the floor at a rapid speed. The wind shook the leafless trees violently, rustling together. Phoenix Summers sucked in a deep gulp off air, and panted heavily as her black trainers slapped painfully against the forest floors, decomposing leaves turning into mud clung to her trainers, every now and then jumping over logs which had collapsed to the floor.
Her hand fisted tighter around the pulsing crystal in her hand, her skin red from the stabbing coldness. All she knew was to head north away from the dark manor home and she would be safe, pushing her legs even harder. She was running away from the vampires—yes vampires, blood sucking leaches, bats, fangs, red pulsing eyes, the nightmares of children's dreams—she knew they were fast but she had to try, especially when she had the crystal in her hand, if they caught her they got the crystal back and her teams mission would have been a fail.
Ah, the mission. To steal back the Blood Crystal from the vampire hooligans, they had stolen it from her town because of this witchy hoo-ha prosthesis about it destroying all vampires, yada yada yada. It was her and her teams mission to steal back the crystal successfully but after what Billy James, a new recruit to their team, did things weren't looking all sunny and successful. He panicked and decided to jump out off a window triggering the alarm...You would've thought vampires would have a bullet proof window or something, Phoenix scoffed.
The walkie talkie strapped to her waist started buzzing and she quickly grabbed it from its pouch, pressing the button on the side. "You're going to have to fasten your pace Summers, the vamps are catching up...and fast." Annie Woon, the leader of her team, warned.
Cursing Phoenix pushed her legs even harder, her bones protesting from the brutal torture of sprinting for god knows how long. As Phoenix placed the walkie talkie away she didn't see the brown twisted tree stump in the ground. Phoenix caught her leg in it and she felt a jolt of pain scramble up her right leg. Phoenix stretched her arm to touch her tender leg to feel it start to get swollen. Mother of god! Phoenix growled and lifted herself back up but only to collapse again, she knew that if she didn't get up now she'd get caught. Once again she got up again but this time applied all her weight on her left leg.
She gulped in the cold air, maybe she could find a place to hide and the vampires wouldn't find her, or she could hide and caught. Damnit she couldn't get caught not when the crystal was in her hands, she knew she had to get it back to her town. She shivered from the cold air and wrapped her leather jacket tighter to her body.
"Ho travato uno!" No! It was them; she whipped her head around just in time to see a flash of sliver zip by. Not caring if it hurt her ankle she ran, with all the energy she had, wincing every time her ankle shot pain through her body. The crystal was tight in her hands that one of the jaggered edges stabbed into her palm causing warm blood to drip from her fists.
"I can smell you, princess," Phoenix gagged at the sound of the vampires voice, it was male. "I can feel your blood..." The vampire baited. Phoenix wasn't scared; she never found vampires scary just nightmares that could be destroyed.
Phoenix kept hobbling along, pft she wasn't scared of some vampire she was just scared they'd get the crystal it wasn't like anyone was waiting for her at home. In a second the wind whipped harshly at her brown hair. "Hello there, darling'" She gasped at the voice that whispered in her ear, his breath tickling on her ear, he nipped it slowly and Phoenix flinched away violently from him. Ew, oh god vampire cooties.
She whipped her head around to see a man, with blonde hair that was slicked back with gel making it look overly greasy. He had hazel coloured eyes that glinted in the dark, a slanted nose and high cheekbones, his lips were pale like his skin. The vampire smiled flashing her his straight white teeth...Did vampires have a dentist? Phoenix raised an eyebrow at him and he clicked his teeth together in a biting motion. Ok, slowly feeling repulsed right now. Phoenix took a step back but stopped when her right ankle started hurting.
"Aww did you hurt yourself, baby girl?" The vampire pouted in a mocking way.
Phoenix scowled at his names for her. "I can make it better." He winked and stepped forward.
"Don't come near me, grease ball." Phoenix smirked at her name for him.
"Grease ball?" He raised a blonde eyebrow at her but smirking. Slowly his gaze trailed down her arm and fell up her bleeding hand with the crystal in it.
"You shouldn't take what's yours; didn't mummy ever tell you that?" The vampire lunged at her aiming for hand.
Phoenix pulled back causing her to twist her ankle more, I small scream escaped her lips. The vampire pushed her onto the floor and snatched her arm, the one with the crystal, and bent it back until she started losing grip of the crystal. She screamed out as her bones were being bent back and thrashed her feet out knocking the vampire to the ground. Assuming from the way she just knocked him down he was she a new vampire, an alle prime armi. He growled and she saw a flash of fangs, crap. She was in trouble now...big trouble. Phoenix jumped off the ground about to run but the vampire grabbed her ankle and yanked her down. Her head hit the floor with a loud thump! Suddenly the vampire was grabbing her hair and bashing her head on the ground.
"Sam!" The vampire stopped and looked up. Footsteps came closer towards them. "Get off of her, this instant." The voice belonged to a female...Unless it was a man with a very feminine voice, you never know.
The vampire, Sam, get off of her, she didn't realise he was crushing her breathing until she took in a huge gulp of air. Phoenix sat up, and quickly held the crystal tighter; luckily she hadn't dropped it on her adventure to lets-bash-Phoenix's-head-to-the-ground-like-a-baby land.
"She has the crystal, ma'am." Sam bowed his head down; whoever this woman—most defiantly not a man considering Sam just called the woman ma'am...Unless it was a gay vampire? Oh shut up it's a woman—she had high power over him. Phoenix slowly stood up, watching Sam from the corner of her eye and backed up into the tree, maybe she could magically disappear into it. Phoenix looked over at the female. She had platinum blonde hair, which blew in the wind, thin lips, perfect eyebrows, slanted noise, hazel eyes and long black eye lashes. The woman's eyes landed on her hand which was now coated in her blood, which was slowly dripping to the ground. The women's hazel eyes landed on Phoenix, her eyes were swirling like someone mixing a bowl of chocolate, and they glittered. Ooooooh, pretty. Phoenix giggled out loud and started to feel like headed. A strange sensation crawled over her brain, tickling.
"Pass me the crystal." The woman's voice rolled of her tongue like gold...Gold? Whoa that's a bit deep, Phoenix thought.
Slowly Phoenix raised her hand and opened it to show the crystal, which was now smothered in her blood. Phoenix eyes opened eyes opened wide like a squid, what was she doing? No, why was she giving the crystal to the woman? No, no, no she wasn't doing this. Realisation hit Phoenix right in the face. The woman was controlling her; quickly she built a wall to block the woman out like she had been shown by her father before he died.
The woman frowned. "Don't." She warned Phoenix and she hit her with a bigger wave of compulsion but only to bounce back. The female growled. "Sam, grab her. We'll take her back to the manor."
"No!" Phoenix shouted and tried to scramble away as Sam crushed her, wrapping his arms around her torso. Phoenix kicked her legs out and twisted her body to escape Sam's arms, he only just held tighter and harder.
"You don't need me, let me go!" Phoenix screamed.
"Oh trust me, we need you." The woman said.
Godamnit, no they didn't need her. They were just saying that, oh gods what if they used her as a blood slave. Phoenix felt bile rise up her stomach, the idea of becoming a blood slave created goose bumps along her body. She didn't want to become one, she didn't want her brain to be brain washed making her worship these hooligans.
The forest went silent all that could be heard was her helpless screams echoing into the forest.
"Where is she?" Annie Woon shouted, aggressively knocking down someone's bag onto the muddy floor. "She has the crystal, godamnit!" The team stood, silently as they watched their leader, aggressively throw anything in her path to the floor. All four of them were back except Phoenix...And the crystal, they had been waiting for an hour for Phoenix to come back but no sign of the brunette was seen. Annie had tried communicating with Phoenix with the walkie talkie but got no reply but silence.
"We're screwed they have her and the crystal. Do you have any idea what this means?" Annie twirled around to look at her team—ha, what team? The useless swine's in front of her? –who were all looking down at the ground.
"Argh!" Annie kicked the wooden table, which sat in front of her, sending it flying across the area they had set up in. She breathed slowly through her mouth and closed her eyes. "We'll go home and tell sire that they have Phoenix and the crystal." Annie wouldn't let the vampires to figure it out again, she wouldn't let what happened to Phoenix's parents happen again.
Phoenix had been kicking and screaming the whole way to the manor; once they were inside she kicked harder and tried escaping once by biting Sam hard on the arm, causing him to bleed. Obviously her plan didn't work but hey it wouldn't hurt to try...It'll just hurt Sam. They had arrived in a long hallway like room, the carpet was a dark blue and the walls were painted white with dark blue swirls to crawling along it. A grand golden staircase was right in front of them it had white marble steps.
"Stay here."Ordered Andrea, Phoenix had finally learnt the woman's name on their journey. Andrea climbed up the grand staircase, her blonde hair shinnying in the light.
Phoenix looked to her left to see a corridor leading somewhere...Probably leads to a torture chamber, Phoenix shivered at her thought.
"No, it doesn't lead to a torture chamber, it leads to the kitchen." Phoenix yelped at the voice, a little girl with blonde ringlets skipped down the stairs. She looked about 13 years old but she looked like a vampire...Was she turned at a young age?
"It's called sex." The girl rolled her eyes at Phoenix. Vampire's can reproduce? Well thanks for telling me that Annie, Phoenix thought referring to her leader.
"You're bleeding and it's dripping on mother's carpet." The girl scowled at Phoenix. No shit Sherlock.
"No need to be rude." The girl tutted. Says the one who can't give me some privacy, Phoenix thought loudly just so the girl understood she was talking to her.
She felt Sam loosen his grip of her and Phoenix quickly jumped out of his arms and shot straight for the door. Phoenix yelped when she felt arms grip her waist, and started thrashing again. Mother of god, why wouldn't they just let her go? Phoenix surprisingly still had the crystal gripped in her hand, the jaggered edges had cut into her skin about a million of times already.
Sam—she was assuming that was who had her in a death grip—turned around so she was facing the little girl again but what shocked her was the fact that Sam was actually standing right in front of her. Phoenix froze in surprise...If Sam was there then who the hell was holding her. It was a man, she could tell from his masculine hands tickling her stomach. Phoenix started to kick her legs out to try and free herself from whoever was holding her. She panicked when the grip around her just got tighter; Lord Jesus is he trying to suffocate her?
"Do you mind?" The voice of the person whispered into her ear, defiantly male. His breath was cold against her ear and his voice sound scratchy but sexy...Shut up hormone this is not the perfect time to appear right now. Phoenix froze in his arms.
"Much better." He teased.
His fingers stroked at her stomach sending shivers down her spine. "Do you mind?" She mimicked him.
"Oh Alexavier please let the poor child go." A kind feminine voice was heard. Phoenix looked up and saw a woman standing next to the girl. She had beautiful long draping hair that cascaded around her face, her lips where painted blood red with lipstick, her eyes were an unusual purple colour, slightly chubby cheeks with freckles sprinkled across them.
"My apologies, mother but this thing—"Oh my god, did he just call me a thing? "—tried to escape from here and I believe it has something that doesn't belong to it." How rude! Calling me a 'thing' and 'it' when really he's the it and thing. Phoenix swung her foot, the good one, backwards so it hit him in the shin, unfortanully her he obviously can stand pain.
"There is no need to be so rude." Phoenix growled which only caused him to laugh.
"Aww, already getting along with your new play toy are we?" Andrea's voice drifted down from the corridor on the left...Who'd she get there?
"Mmhm, very much." The man, Alexavier, nibbled on her earlobe and Phoenix jerked her head violently away. Phoenix felt his hand grab the one with the crystal in it and grabbed hard for it. Before Phoenix could react Alexavier already had the crystal out of his hands and was tossing it to the woman with the black hair, his mother.
"Thank you, honey." The woman caught it perfectly in her hands. "Mira, honey, wash this and put it where it belongs." The woman passed the crystal to the little girl, Mira, and kissed her cheek before Mira skipped down the left corridor.
"Victoria!" A strong man's voice boomed, and all of a sudden a man with black hair that was pulled into a pony tail appeared in front of the woman with black hair, Victoria.
"No need to shout." Victoria rolled her eyes.
Phoenix couldn't help the fear from climbing through her body as the man turned; he screamed power, confidence and evilness. Phoenix leaned back into Alexavier not caring that she was pressing herself deeper into him. She wanted to disappear as the man's cold ice like gaze stared down at her.
"Dirty umana," The man spat. "Alexavier what is this doing here?" The man said referring to Phoenix.
"She's for Alex, Andrea thought it would be a good idea for Alex to man up and get himself a blood slave...Sire." Sam bowed his head down to the ground as he spoke.
"Blood slave? Ha! Alexavier wouldn't even dare kill a human. Sometimes I ask why he is even my son." The man scoffed. From behind she felt Alexavier bow his head down. Family problems, much?
"He's too weak to even take a bite from her because he thinks innocent girls shouldn't be harmed." The man carried on, it seemed like he was provoking Alexavier.
"No I'm not!" Alexavier roared. Victoria sighed and muttered something but Phoenix couldn't have heard it.
"If you aren't then bite her!" The man shouted louder. No, no, no, no. Phoenix started thrashing again, fear shaking her body like an earthquake, tears started to fall down her face. No please she didn't want to have fangs sunk into her neck, she knew it hurt she'd seen it herself. "Do it!" The man provoked. Phoenix screamed out.
"No! Please! Please, don't. Please!" Phoenix begged the tears falling faster.
"Carl! Stop it! You're scaring the girl!" Victoria shouted at the man, Carl, but he seemed unfazed he looked harder at Alexavier.
"You can't do it; you're too weak, never strong enough." Carl snarled.
"I'm not weak!" The house shook from Alexavier's roar and he threw Phoenix on the floor to lunge at his father. Alexavier had dark black hair in an emo like style, blue streaks down the fringe; he was pale and well built. His lips were pulled back in a vicious snarl, fangs elongated. Carl was holding Alexavier around the neck.
"Bite her!" Carl pushed Alexavier at Phoenix, they tears didn't stop falling from her eyes in fear. Alexavier looked at her and she noticed he had dark purple eyes that were slowly swirling into a black and red. His jaw was perfectly sculptured to fit his face, long eye lashes and black eyebrows.
He closed his eyes. "Do it!" His father chanted while Victoria was screaming a rush of words to make Carl stop. Sam and Andrea just stood where they were looking down at the floor averting their eyes from the scene.
"Fine!" Silence rippled through the air at Alexavier's comment. What? No! Please! Phoenix crawled away from him but he grabbed her bad ankle causing her tears to fall even harder.
"Please! Please! Please! I'm begging." Phoenix chocked on her tears.
Alexavier's fang's plunged into her throat and a gurgling scream ripped out of her throat as her blood flowed into his mouth.
The manor was silent as chocking, gurgling, silent screams filled the air.
