Hi people! This is something i thought about while thinking of da hunger games, and i was like, this could be awesome.
Please tell me what u think, and i will be happy. :D imagine that vampires were at a level below humans, and to keep them under control, sent vampires into a area with no way out and have to kill each other. The Blood games. This has been going on for a long time and it in the future. I have Vlad as a full Vampire, but pm me if u think that should be changed. I don't own ether books, so no suing.
Ok, on with it!
Chapter one
Vlad couldn't breathe. Nope, Emily adicas, the game maker, didn't just announce his name. Nope. It can't be. This is just a horrible, stupid nightmare, that his Vampire mind had created. Henry, the blond Vampire beside him, the one gripping his arm with brutal force now took a sharp breath. Out of all the vamps in this compound, the humans had to choose me, Vladimir Tod. This is no a dream. This is probably the time i should go on the stage right? If i didn't, the guards would shock me with there weird human invention to immobilize vampires. No one knows what its called, but iv'e seen it work, and i don't want it to be used on me. I turn to Henry, who has stopped breathing, and give him a quick nod. He nods back and releases my arm and looks down sadly. Of course, no one volunteers for me. Im alone except for the girl who will be announced in a second. I feel numb, and im shaking as i move forward to the stage. My fellow vamps move aside so i have a path, and i take a close look at them as this will probably be the last time i see them. This is because they called my name. A woman, around twenty, (a vamp) looks at me sadly. She was the one vamp besides Henry who is kind to me in the compound. Every one of us look horrible and under fed. We get to have two extremely small meals a day in the cafe, then we return to our rooms. Im thinking about all the small, but good times with Henry as i walk to the stage. One step at a time, and i finally make it too the stage. Standing there are three guards, (human) and they are protecting the short chubby human woman at the mic. She is in control of almost everything for this event. I climb the three steps and walk slowly towards her. Just being near her makes my fangs slip out. She smells amazing, as i only get donated blood. She smiles, but it doesn't reach her eyes. She looks me up and down, and motions with her hand at me. The guards quickly move behind me and stay there. I can see there weapons. The ones that shock us. The pudgy woman shakes her short blond hair out of her eyes and announced, "now for the girls." And reached in the glass ball in front of her. She picks out the name and looks at it for a moment, and says, "Steph groves." A small vamp, around eight, steps on the stage. All vamps age, like humans, unlike some rumours humans used to have. We do have amazing powers, but if we use them we are killed. Steph's black hair falls gently on her small shoulders, and her green eyes look scared. She looks like a miniature version of me. Well, except the eyes. Mine are a dark brown, almost black. Emily cheered, "so there we have it. A boy and a girl, to participate in this years blood games!" No one spoke. All they did was did was stare sadly at us. Before my father, Tomas, died from the guards when i was six, he told me about race of vampires like us who were strong, and fed from humans when they pleased. They hid in the shadows and humans we below on the food chain. How could these vamps, below me, be the once powerful race Tomas talked about? They looked so tired, and weak, and just... Horrible. She started to walk off the stage, but turned back. "Oh, if any family members or friends choose to say goodbyes, meet us in the guard room. You are dismissed." And with that, stepped down off the stage and walked out with us trailing behind. With one last longing glance at the meeting room, we entered the guard room.
After a minute, Henry and Nelly entered. Nelly had red eyes from crying, and henry had no emotions. Nelly hugged me, and i patted her on the back. "I-Im so s-sorry Vladimir! So sorry!" She cried. "Its ok, Nelly. Its fine. Relax, it will be ok." I say this even though it probably won't be ok. The Blood games have vamps from each compound, and boy and a girl, to go in a arena and fight to the death. We are allowed to use our powers, and few weapons. That means i probably won't make it. With my skinny frame, and with me only being thirteen, I'm done for. I have never used my powers. The worst part, the put it on television for both vamps and humans to see. Nelly pulls back and leaved the guard room sobbing. Its just me and Henry. "Hey, man. Are you ok?" I laughed. "Never better! Im just going to fight to the death with other vamps with only two weeks of training before. Im fine." He sighs. "Vlad, you have to promise to try. If you don't try, theres no point in saying good luck. Please man, i don't wanna see u die on the big screen." I look up. "I promise, Henry. I will try to survive." Just then, a guard charged in and said, "times up. Henry McMillan, to your assigned room." Maybe Henry wasn't thinking straight, i have no idea, but he exploded. With anger. He snarled and bared his long, white fangs at the guard. The guard took out his weapon (that it what i will call the shock thing from now on) and merely poked Henry, and his knees buckled and he collapsed. Before i could say anything, he yelled, "move. Now." And pointed out another door. He called someone to come and "clean up the mess" and i balled my fist in anger. How dare he call my best friend and mess. But, i couldn't do anything unless i wanted to join him on the floor. I headed out the door, and followed the guard down the blank white hallway. Came to a door with all different locks. He scanned his eye, and finger. He entered a passcode, an finally it creaked open. We passed thorough and sun light nearly blinded me. We also don't burn in the sun. Silly myth. I haven't seen sun in many years and i stared in wonder at how beautiful the outdoors looked, especially with the sun. I couldn't enjoy it for long, as the guards pushed me along. We came to a long car, and black limo. And standing outside the limo was non other then Emily Adicus, with a new set of clothing. She had a black outfit to match the car, which was weird. She smiled her wicked smile. And said, "come, dear. We were waiting. We have a store of blood for you, and the train is won't wait as long as us." Without looking at her, i entered the plush car, which had leather seats and a flat screen tv. I sat as far away as possible, and stared out the window until the car started moving. I then noticed Steph sitting in the corner, in a ball. Emily entered, this time only with one guard, and happily chuckled. "Dears, come over, there is no need to sit in the far corner. I have some of the finest blood for you, and eventually you will get a live person to feed on. Don't be shy!" Wow. She was kinda creepy. But, she did say live person to feed on, which i have never tried. I scooted down, and looked at her. She smiled again, and said, "now you dear, steph was it? And what about you?" She asked looking at me. "Vladimir Tod." Was all i said. "Oh, right! Ok, i will get the guard to fetch some food, and we will tell you why you are here." I already know. I notice steph had slide down slightly, and Emily began. "You both will participate in the annual blood games. Of coarse, you both have seen this before. You will be given the finest things, and meet your fellow vampires that will also compete. You will get two weeks to train, so train hard and long. Understand?" We nodded. For the first time, steph squeaked, "i want to go home." Her voice was strained and cracked, and though she needed water. "Excuse me?" Started Emily. "I give you the finest things and speak kindly, and i get a i wanna go home!" She was on the edge of crazy, i could tell. "No wining around me dear, i won't tolerate it. Understand?" She always spoke like we were dumb. Maybe she thought vampires were dumb. Steph nodded quickly and looked down. "Now that that is settled, let us have some food. You poor darlings must be starved." The guard came out with glasses and a metal jug, which he poured some red liquid into. I gladly took it and my fangs slid out. I tipped the glass and drank it down quickly. I glanced at steph, and she had done the same. I saw her fangs. I yawned, and i leaned against the window, and fell asleep. I had no dreams.
So how was it? Please review, and ask any questions. It will be huge when he is in da arena! I will add new characters. How do you think of Emily? She seems sorrta nice...
