The Vampires
Chapter I
"Elizabeth.......Elizabeth dear, wake up! Quickly, get dressed.We must get away from here!..."A young, blonde girl with blue eyes yawned wearily and looked up at her mother. "Mother, why are we leaving?" Elizabeth asked. "They are here, Elizabeth.Hurry, get dressed!" Elizabeth's eyes widened and her heart pounded. She jumped up from her bed and obidiently ran to her dresser.
Elizabeth De Viande' was only 12 years old. Her hair hung loosely over her shoulders and curled inward at the bottom. Her eyes sparkled in the moonlight. She pulled a white dress on over her head and slipped her black shoes on and buckled them. Her hair never needed brushing (for a reason she didn't know), so she ran to her mother's side. "Come, Elizabeth,"Her mother said,"We'll leave out your window....." BANG!
Elizabeth and her mother turned their heads toward the sound of the front door being broken down. Elizabeth's mother locked the door seconds before the intruders began trying to brake it down. Her mother pulled a crossbow from the shawl she was wearing. "Elizabeth,"Her mother said, walking Elizabeth to her bed and handing her the crossbow, which was quite heavy. "Listen to me. Hide under your bed. When the vampires get in, I will tell them I am the only one here so they don't find you. Do not make a sound, nomatter what happens. If they find you, use the crossbow to protect yourself...and run. Do you understand me?!"
Elizabeth nodded."What about you, mother?.." She asked. Her mother didn't aswer;She wrapped Elizabeth in a big hug. "I love you, Elizabeth."
Chapter II
Elizabeth ducked under her bed, her crossbow armed and ready. Seconds later her bedroom door was broken down. Three male vampires walked into the room. Elizabeth's mother backed away from the vampires until they cornered her. "Bonjour," A vampire in front of Elizabeth's mother said. "Lovely night, is it not?.."
Elizabeth's mother didn't reply. The vampires moved in closer to her. "Get away from me," Elizabeth heard her mother say, though she couldn't see her mother;The vampires were blocking her veiw."No, we'd rather not."
Elizabeth's mother screamed, but it was muffled by the vampires as they all attacked her at once. Elizabeth watched in horror as her mother's body fell to the floor. She let out a tiny cry of shock, and then clamped her hands over her mouth. The vampires had heard her."Where did that come from?" One of the vampires asked. "I don't know, but.." "Ssssh!"Another shooshed them. They fell silent and listened closely. Elizabeth was crying, and it was difficult to muffle her sobbs. ".......There!" A vampire whispered, pointing to the bed. Another vampire signaled for the other vampires to be quiet and slowly moved over to the bed. Elizabeth trembled in fright. "BOO!" The vampire turned the bed over.
Chapter IIV
"AGH!!!!" The vampire screamed and collasped as Elizabeth shot three arrows through his chest."Grab her!" Another vampire said as she ran out of the room. She loaded the crossbow, turned, and shot the vampire closest to her through the head. The last one hissed, baring his fangs, and chased her. She dropped the heavy crossbow and ran out the front door. The vampire followed. He looked around. She was nowhere in sight."...Hai YA!" Elizabeth(whom had been sitting on the roof above him holding an ax) swung the ax down. The vampire's head fell to the ground.
Nearby was a group of six vampires who had seen this. She ran from them and they chased her past countless men and woman whom were being bitten. She ran around a corner. The vampires followed her. They were standing on what at first looked like the roof of a dug-out, but they realized it was a hanging post built partially in the ground. The Elizabeth was standing ontop of the wooden post where the ropes were hanging from, holding three of them by the loopholes. "Gotcha!" She said. She jumped backwards, holding onto the ropes, and swung at them. "YA!"
She kicked two of them off of the side of the hanging post.She swung back, them forth again. This time she managed to throw the ropes over three vampire's heads. She jumped down to the hanging lever and pulled it. The trap door opened beneath the vampire's feet, and they fell through and were hung.
Now only one vampire was left. And he didn't look happy.
Chapter IV
"Solidus!" A vampire called. A tall, dark eyed vampire with long, stringy black hair that hung over his shoulders dropped the body of a man, wiped blood off his chin, and looked to the vampire calling him. "Solidus, sir, we have a problem.." The vampire pointed out a girl running from a vampire."What's the problem? Surely a child is no threat?" Solidus said. "That child has killed eight of us, sir." "What?!"
Solidus watched the girl as she ducked behind a barrel of oil.The vampire chasing her came looking for her, and she pushed the barrel onto him, causing him to fall into a fire that was burning the belongings of people whom had caught the Black Plague(which was spreading) and died. "I see." Solidus said, amused at the young girl's thinking. He thought for a moment. "Call the other vampires. Tell them to capture the child. I want her in my castle,alive,before sunrise." Solidus turned to leave. "Yes, right away, sir."
Chapter V
Elizabeth stayed huddled behind a stack of firewood next to her house, trying not to be seen. She wasn't feeling well. She'd inhaled a lot of ash and smoke when she'd pushed the barrel of oil onto a vampire causing him to fall into the fire. She was sure she must have a fever, but she hoped she hadn't caught the black plague. It had killed her father.
"Com'ere, little girl....we won't hurt you...." Elizabeth heard. "Ya', c'mon li'le gal, we won' bite....no' hard, anyways...OW! Don' hit me!" "Shut up! Your scarin' 'er away, you dim'witted foreigner!..Come out, lass, we won't kill you....." "You're a foreigner too, idio'!" "Well you sound like a stupid.." "SHUT UP YOU MORONS!!!!!"
A young looking vampire, probably age 16 with short,brown hair and blue eyes walked past her hiding place. He stopped dead in his tracks. "Wait a minute..."He went back to the stack of wood and pushed a few logs aside until he saw her. "Oy! I found her!.....Get over here, you gits!!" The vampire grabbed Elizabeth's arm and struggled to pull her out from behind the logs while eight other vampires came over. "Strong li'le gal, isn't she?" A red haired, green eyed vampire with a cokney accent said, helping the english vampire hold her still. "Let me go! NO! GET OFF!" "OW! She bit me!!" The red-head said. "Then bite her!" "NO! We have to bring her back alive, remember?! Get the bag!" "NO! GET OFF! LET ME GO!" "Shu'up, will ya?.."
The vampires stuffed Elizabeth into a bag. "Let me out you blood sucking, moronic monsters!...You shamless piles of..."
Chapter VI
An hour later, a vampire lifted her out of the bag. She was sleeping. "Awe, tha's so cute," The red-head said. "Wake up," The vampire who pulled her out said, shaking her awake. Elizabeth yawned and looked up at them. "............AAAHH!!!!!!!!"SHe screamed and struggled to get away from them. They ignored her screaming and dragged her into a giant castle. She was taken through many corridors. Everywhere, there were vampires. They seemed quite used to seeing a live human pulled through the corridors of their home.
The vampires took her into a large, empty room made entirely with white and orange marble. Standing in the center of the room was a vampire with dark eyes and long, black hair. "Ah..very good. You got her....Jack, Mungo, you two stay and hold her still. The rest of you may leave."The man with a cokney accent and the english man stayed, each holding one of Elizabeth's arms, and the rest left.Elizabeth trembled as the dark eyed vampire got closer to her. He kneeled to her hight and looked her in the eye. "Hello there. My name is Solidus De Venaigre. What is your name?" Elizabeth was shaking. "E-ELizabeth De Viande," She said. "What a nice name...Tell me, why were you killing my fellow vampires?" Solidus asked. Elizabeth darked her gaze. "They killed Mother." She said. "What a shame....and what of your father?" Elizabeth narrowed her eyes at him. "My father died from the Black Plague."
Chapter VII
"Pity...what of the rest of your family?" Solidus asked. Elizabeth looked him directly in the eye. "Bitten." Solidus nodded. "I thought so."
Elizabeth, again, was not feeling well. She wanted to hold her stomach, but the vampires wouldn't let her go. She felt her knees buckle. Solidus raised his eyebrows in surprise as she collapsed with pain. The vampires let her go and Solidus put a hand on her forehead. ".....Your dying. You didn't tell me that..." Solidus informed her. Elizabeth coughed and tasted blood. "Hmm......Jack,"Solidus said. "Yes, sir?" The english man answered. "Go get Radius. Hurry." Solidus ordered. Jack nodded and left. Mungo kneeled down like Solidus."I didn' know she was dyin',"He said. "Yes, well....some plagues are hard to notice until just before the victim dies..."
Jack returned with a boy about thirteen years old with long, black hair and blue eyes. The boy's eye's widened, and for a moment he stared curiously at Elizabeth. "You sent for me?" He asked. "This is Elizabeth. She's dying from a plague. I need you to you-know-what, because she's very usefull. Help yourself to her blood, if you wish."Solidus told Radius. Elizabeth couldn't hear much of this. She could only see three tall blurrs, and one smaller blurr. The smaller blurr picked her up into his arms and carried her into another room. He set her down on something soft(She guessed it was a bed) and turned her head to the side, exposing her neck. "This won't hurt very much." He said.
Chapter IIX
He leaned down and sunk his teeth into her neck. She let out a small cry of pain and weakly tried to turn away from him, but he just sank his teeth deeper into her neck.She gave up and layed there while he drank most of her blood. He stopped just before she died of blood loss. The plague had left Elizabeth's body, though she knew she would die very soon. "You're very weak...If I don't turn you into a vampire, you'll die.." He told her. He cut his wrist, wincing in pain. He held it to her mouth. "Drink," He said. She turned her head away. She didn't want to be one of them. "Please drink, Elizabeth, I don't want you to die..."
Elizabeth felt cold. She couldn't move. She was scared. "...I'm sorry, Elizabeth...I don't want you to die like this." She felt Radius force his wrist to her mouth. She couldn't see. All she could do was feel his blood trickle down into her throat."I promise I'll take care of you." He said.
Chapter I
"Elizabeth.......Elizabeth dear, wake up! Quickly, get dressed.We must get away from here!..."A young, blonde girl with blue eyes yawned wearily and looked up at her mother. "Mother, why are we leaving?" Elizabeth asked. "They are here, Elizabeth.Hurry, get dressed!" Elizabeth's eyes widened and her heart pounded.
