Chapter 1.
Strelizia stepped out from the shadow, her long red hair flowing behind her like a water fall of blood and her blue eyes like misty crystal gleaming in the sun, The sun, the deadly thing for vampires, didn't affect her, much, All she needed was a pair of sun glasses, even in cloud, her half vampire instincts were sensitive to the sun.
It was getting dark, Her family needed this food, Kileros, there master, didn't feed them often, a few humans a week was all, shape-shifters needed at least two a day, and really they got an arm every day between them. Strelizia tightened her grip around the bag, it contained animal skin, it wasn't as good as human, but it had to do. Kileros couldn't smell animals as well as humans.
She tied the strings on the opening around her waist and transformed, Her ears rose high into her red hair, adjusting to the same colour, Her legs got smaller and body moved, thick red fur covered most of her body, her feet and hands were paws and they were black against the red of her limbs, her back changed into a red and white bushy tail, Where once a human looking creature stood was a medium sized vixen.
There was no bag on her back, it had moulded in with her body, her real body.
She took off, her body swaying round the beds of the alley, it was getting darker and the sun was sinking into the distance like ice-cream would melt on a hot stove.
The excitement of this night overwhelmed Strelizia, to know that she could be saving her family for one more day...
"This fox runs" Her voice echoed in her mind.
Running through the streets of Los Angelis was the least of her trouble; she knew that people chased her because of the urge to kill rabbits and birds.
She ran through streets and alleys, through gardens and parks all the way to China Town. The whole of the streets here were lit up with Chinese restaurants and gift shops. Dark shadows were cast on the floor. Perfect for disguise.
She turned a corner at Keh-Li Chinese take-away and took a long route down the passage way towards a high fenced wall with barbed wire covering the top. A small dirt hole was in one corner of the fence leading like a tunnel into the cut off area. Strelizia slipped in carefully. Not knowing if he was on the other side waiting for her.
When the tunnel came to an end, light shone through. Voices, she could hear voices...
"Where am I?" Said a soft voice full of fright. The voice sent shivers down Strelizia's spine; she needed to know who this person was.
"Your mine..." Said a stone voice that Strelizia knew all to well. Keleros, The blood demon.
"That doesn't answer my question-" the other person said, the voice was still scared...
"Im powerful, there fore I don't intend to answer that stupid question"
"But..."
"No!" Keleros sounded angry.
I should just leave him, the person in there has no chance...She thought, She went to leave, But couldn't quite manage to turn back...
She had to decide, why she cared what happened to the person in there. So she took a deep breath...
She ran through the opening and transformed back to her human form.
"Keleros" She said.
"Strelizia, you returned?" He said a wide smile come across his face.
She could see the features of all the people in the room. Three people occupied it with out Strelizia, Keleros, with his black hair and stone honey eyes. A girl, She had feathery brown hair and violet eyes she looked frightened, And the Man, the voice that thrilled Strelizia; He had blonde hair and brown eyes. He looked stunning, But Strelizia knew he was human, Human smell reeked off of him.
"Who's she?" The frightened girl said.
"Shut up Ahmaria, She's nothing and goes, now!" Keleros demanded shooting red blood sparks in her direction. The girl moved towards the corner of the room.
"No, She will not, that's Strelizia" The boy said.
How does he know my name Keleros? Strelizia asked through her telepathy voice.
I don't know The Boys voice said, ringing in her ears
Hey! Shut up! Keleros said.
Keleros! You made him a vampire?! Strelizia said.
No! And besides stop trying to be friendly, I'm after your blood! Keleros replied.
"No" The boy stated simply.
"Aliar! Do you mind? Im trying to threaten her!" Keleros said.
"Aliar..." Strelizia said.
"Yes" Said the boy.
"Excuse me..." Keleros said.
"What?" Strelizia snapped, although she and Keleros were enemies, he tried to be nice and still she got on his nerves.
"But, I need you dead, You did this before with you sister, and now Im doing it to him" The doomed words escaped his mouth and Strelizia's family flashed before her eyes, Torture and pain, she couldn't watch this poor boy be tortured in that way. She jumped high into the air above Keleros; she grabbed Aliar around the waist and headed for the girl who was still in the corner. She was fast, At this time Keleros was shooting witch fire, crackling with rage, at them, Strelizia dodged them and they missed her but the girl she had shivering in her right arm was crying, She didn't know if this was to do with the fire or she was scared. Strelizia used most of the energy she inherited from her great grandmother (a witch) and sent Keleros some pink witch fire. Knocking him backwards
When Keleros was distracted, He picked himself up from the ball of fire Strelizia had sent to him, He staggered, anger written over his face, Strelizia stopped and put the humans on the ground.
"I want you to both craw through that hole there..." She said indicating the hole she had once entered.
"I'll distract him" She said eager for them to leave.
"Move!" She demanded, its wasn't a choice it was an order.
As they scrabbled on there hands and knees under an oak table, she turned to face Keleros.
"We meet again..." She said casually.
"Yes, and you just lost me a customer" He replied.
"Customer?" She said examining her nails.
"Yes" His tone was cold, he was getting angrier.
"Didn't sound like a customer..." She said casually blowing her nails.
"Well I wouldn't tell you the real reason why I want him" He said a smile came upon his face.
"Is it a secret? You not good at keeping those are you? Remember that...how you say deal we made, I never got my end did I?" She said, now it was her turn to be angry.
"Strelizia, Strelizia Strelizia Strelizia...I kept my end, one bite for your family, you didn't give the family willing did you?"
"Your saying I didn't give my family willing? That wasn't the deal...One bite for $5000 and you knew I was bankrupt, but no you decided to take my family" She said thrusting a finger out the open door.
"You did say you hated them"
"Because they didn't agree to you"
"There, I solved your problems"
"But you made me take your blood..."
"For the good of every one"
"Everyone?! You made me a vampire un-willingly!"
* * * From outside the tunnel Aliar had his ear pressed against the ground, the noise was easier to hear this way.
He caught phrases like bite and Vampire unwillingly none of it made sense.
"What's happening?" Ahmaria said. She was shivering wildly. The whole day had shocked her.
They were out on a walk to China town, it was a long way from Los Angelis but it was a day trip. All of a sudden Keleros had jumped in front of the pair and flew to this small house.
Aliar simply couldn't believe it. The person had flown to this house with no wings or anything.
"Fighting, But words not physical" Aliar lied, He knew that girl Strelizia was going to get hurt, the thumping told him so. But the question on his mind was how did he know her name? He just knew when it came to his head, that red hair and her soft blue eyes told him her name.
"Thank god...Listen Aliar, we need help, Im going to go over there and tell those cops about this crazy guy..." She said, her violet eyes gleaming in worry.
"Ok, Call my Mom as well to tell her ill be back late..." He cut off, the shouts and thumps had stopped. Then a groaning sound ringed in Aliar ears.
"Ok" Ahmaria said walking quickly over to the two people in cop uniforms.
Panic took hold of him and a thought filled his head, Is she alright? Is she hurt? Should I save her?
One thing that he knew he must do is go back and help...
* * *
Keleros slapped Strelizia over the cheek and scowled.
"I never change anyone unwilling, its not right" he said.
"You did me!" Strelizia said throwing herself on top of him.
They rolled on the floor, Until Strelizia was on top. She threw all her weight on to the blow she punched in his chest, it might not have damaged him but it would have hurt.
"Geroff" He yelled as the wind was taken out of him by another blow.
As Strelizia punched a really hard and heavy punch on his arm, he groaned and by what she could see, fainted.
A scuffling sound came from the hole where Aliar and Ahmaria had exited, a dirty blonde head protruded out of the entrance.
"Strelizia!" He shouted.
"What? What are you doing here!" she shouted back angrily.
"Came to help you!" he said defending himself.
"Go out now! And wait there! I need to finish this..." She said picking up the brown bag from the side of the room.
"Fine" Aliar said, Strelizia watched him as he crawled out again.
When he was gone, she lifted Keleros (with trouble) over to the far side of the room (where she tied him).
She put the bag onto her back and ran out the door, The sun was set but she had to shield her eyes from the light. She located the cage room her family were enslaved in and rushed over. The door was ajar as it was feeding time, for Strelizia's supplies and the slave meal.
"Strelizia! Your late!" Her mother cried running to the iron bars holing her in.
"Im sorry mother" Strelizia said opening the latch where the food went in.
"Honey!" her father said rushing over, clasping the metal netting.
"Dad..."
"Strew!" Said Kimmi her younger sister, she looked so ill, she was very tiny for a 10 year old and she had a speech problem due to lack of food for a young shape shifter...
A sound came from the door and a very angry voice.
"Next time I kill!" The voice said as Keleros stormed into the room.
