Chapter 2: Take Me Away
Katrina
"I'm a vampire", he crooned, looking me directly in the eyes.
Silence.
For a moment we simply stared at one another.
Confused. Scared. Intrigued. I stood there.
Noticing the awkwardness, he began explaining it all.
Blood, changing, the Volturi, abilities, covens. He explained it all. Answering any questioned I may have had.
I had not been scared often in my seventeen years of being a warrior, but at that very moment, I stood absolutely mortified.
Yet, I wanted to know more. Where'd they come from, why have I never saw them, and why did he choose to save me?
"I saw you battle. Like something I have never witnessed. You fought, not for your own selfish purposes, but for someone else. And with absolutely no fear in your heart. I couldn't let you perish", he explained.
"As a warrior and protector, I didn't need your interference. We die every day, you should have left me with a little bit of dignity", I said rolling my eyes. He laughed.
Realizing my own stubbornness, I dropped my head and smirked.
So what now, I wondered.
"Would you like to go on an adventure with me?" he questioned.
"Under what circumstances?"
"I make you immortal." He sounded nervous.
I paced over further away from the forest, sighting my village down the hills. Smoke, flames, and destruction are all I saw.
Images of the Master Ivana, Boris, and Jusvek's corpses flashed in my head.
Looking over my shoulder, I smiled. "Go for it".
Moments later, we sat deeper in the forest, atop a large oak tree. He instructed me to lie horizontally across the long branch we were on.
Looking up into the leaves I waited for further instructions but heard nothing.
Turning sideways I realized he sat still staring at me.
I began to get frightened, until I realized, it wasn't a look of hunger, or malicious intent, but curiosity.
"You will be talented, once turned. I had never noticed it before, or even tried."
Understanding what he meant, I smiled wide and leaned back into my original position. My armor was placed a few feet away, on the same branch, and I only wore my pants, cloth undershirt, and shoes.
"Hurry then, we've only got eternity." I commented, pulling him away from his thoughts.
He let out a chuckle. I noticed that he had an attracted, manly laugh. It was nice.
Leaning closer, he asked was I positive. I said yes.
He asked again.
I told him to shut up and raised my left arm, exposing my wrist.
Shocked by mu bluntness, his eyebrows rose, then he shrugged focusing in on my flesh.
An inch closer, and then another, he pulled his face towards my arm.
His cold hands gripped me, and I closed my eyes, awaiting the pain.
His teeth sank into my flesh and I gritted my teeth.
My arm began to burn, then my heart, and suddenly my entire body was on fire.
The pain was unbearable, and so sharp that I could not protest, or cry out, but only succumb to it's affects.
My life flashed before my eyes, and then flashed away.
Darkness.
Eleazar
Her heart had stopped, but the subsequent few hours proved that she would likely survive.
I was grateful for that.
Katrina was so eager, and fearless, I'd never met a human like her, other than my sister Anarosa back in my human days. They could have been identical, I concluded, comparing them. They had the same body structure, height, and weight. The only differences were Ana's long, wavy dark hair and light brown eyes were replaced by Katrina's shinny blonde hair and silver eyes.
I smiled, glancing down at her limp body in the darkness.
Standing upright, I realized I was quite hungry, and she would be too, in about two days, when she was reborn.
She'd be ok, until I return, I guessed.
I turned, walking towards the end of the branch, stepping over her armor and sword, towards the end of the branch contemplating my next move.
And idea popped in my head, and I jumped onto the forest floor, and sprinted to my destination.
Two Days Later
Katrina
My eyes shot open, and I stood. Not realizing my body reacted to my mind before I noticed.
My speed shocked Eleazar, as well as me. He stepped back.
The view of everything was spectacular. I could smell the forest, feel it, taste it on the tip of my tongue, and even hear the movements all around me.
Eleazar took a step closer and reached out.
His eyes weren't red, but more of a maroon with a scarlet tint. He was about 6' 2". Hair curly, dark, and cut close to his scalp. His skin was the color of fresh pastries from the oven, tan and smooth. He was muscular and thick, with broad shoulders, and large bicep. He had a strong jaw line and large hands. All things I let get past my senses before. He had a shaped goatee and slick mustache.
"How do you feel?"
"Fine", I said, grabbing his hand. We were the same temperature.
He let go and jumped down from the tree, motioning me to follow.
My feet hit forest floor and I realized how durable and flexible I'd became.
"Hungry?", He began to run, already forty feet ahead of me.
I sprinted forward beginning to pick up speed, passing him in seconds.
The dust particles, water vapors, and wind rushed pass my face, and I saw it all. The light of the morning bounced off the chlorophyll of the leaves around me. I saw that too. The earthy, fresh smells all overwhelmed me. My skin glowed in the morning sun.
The spring flowers screamed to me through fresh scents. I smelled them. The animals, the insects, the water from the river, it was all a part of me now.
I reached back, and released my long braid, still at top speed, and let my long wavy hair flow behind me.
A certain smell invaded my nostrils and I stopped in my tracks, and my head snapped to the left.
Iron, heat, and heartbeat.
Eleazar appeared almost fifteen seconds later and switched directions, going towards the smell.
Blood.
I passed him and reached my meal.
He was bound by his wrist by rope, and handing down from a tree, naked, his mouth gagged.
Recognizing him, I smiled and stepped closer like a lion during hunting.
His eyes widened and he tried to scream through the sock in his mouth and cloth concealing it. Thrusting his body attempted to possibly escapes.
I giggled, and crouched low, my hair falling on both sides of my face. "Hmmm", I moaned in delight.
It was one of the horsemen who tried to kill me in the attack on the village. Now before me. Breakfast.
My mouth ached for him, and lava seemed to flow down my throat. I needed him.
With one jump, I was inches away. I turned my head to the side and pierced the bottom of his torso and began to drink. Not spilling a drop. I wanted him all.
I hadn't noticed Eleazar had arrived, and watched intently, a few meters away.
The warriors limp body began to crust and crumble away. I stepped back, admiring my damage.
"Aww, none for me?" Eleazar laughed, showing a pout face, with his arms crossed over his chest.
I turned to him, "Well I'm still hungry, let's go get more."
"Don't worry there is more."
He ran off west, and I followed. We reached another one of the horsemen, and drained him as well, only this time we shared. The process continued until we had all of the horsemen who attempted to kill me days earlier.
We returned back to the branch where I'd been turned.
"That was fun, I love games" I told him, sitting down.
He smiled, and seemed to pause to think about something, his face looked nostalgic..
"So what's next?"
Hesitating to react, he stopped and stared.
It was the same look he'd given me days earlier.
He must do this often, I though, looking back at him.
He jumped up higher into the tree.
Following him, I jumped up into a higher branch, balancing myself easily. Realizing I didn't need to concentrate, I relaxed, allowing my vampirism do the balancing for me.
Where did he go? I questioned looking around.
I heard a yell, and turned, seeing him running down the small branch with a crazed look on his face.
I shock, in froze.
His long arm reached me and yanked my own forward.
I pulled back and felt a jolt of energy shoot from my body.
His eyes rolled back and he immediately let his grip loose.
"Eleazar!"
Just a few seconds too late.
Branches and leaves broke as he fell backwards through them all and slammed into the ground.
I jumped down through the tree, I landed next to him as he sat upward and just looked at me.
"Fascinating. So that's how it works. You just used your ability", he said looking at me in wonder.
I looked at my hands and arms. "What was it? How did it feel?"
"Like lighting had struck my body. It shock through me and I lost my senses as the pain moved throughout my body. Try it again"
He reached out and grabbed my arm. I focused. Nothing.
"Maybe it's defensive and only works when I am frightened?"
"Hmmm, it appears so, but with training you should be able to use it willingly."
Disappearing into the trees above, he snuck me again, this time holding a large stick. Prepared, I easily blocked it, cracking the stick in half.
"I was right", he said, with his hand on his chin. "It's only mental."
"Well let's train more", I gushed in excitement, jumping out to grab his arm, to see if I could shock him again. However, nothing happened. He winced at the pain of my newborn strength. I apologized immediately loosening my grip. He laughed.
"Well we still have and adventure to go on, let's train as we go." I said heading towards no particular direction.
"Where to?", he asked.
"Wherever."
"Sounds about right."
He stopped and called out to me, "Katrina, would you like to take your armor with you, for sentimental purposes?"
"No", I spoke feeling liberated and in control. "And by the way, don't call me Katrina anymore".
He looked confused? "Huh, then what shall I call you?"
"Kate."
"Ok, 'Kate' ", he imitated my voice. We shared a laugh.
"Now about that adventure, Eleazar." I dashed through the forest, daring him to keep up.
