Chapter 2: Deals with the Devil
The city gates were open and I had no money or means of transportation, so I guess I was dumb enough to go by foot which would probably take me days after the train tracks. Nobody could tell me what the town I saw in my dream was, I just walked and waited every so often getting a vision of him. It was intoxicating... I felt so dirty when I thought of him. The sun started to fall and the air around me started to grow into a cool breeze, I heard a rustling but nothing more. I continued on down beside the tracks, I had thought nothing of the rolling thunderstorms just above the dry lands. I kept at a clear pace, the rustling occurring again, from behind me at a distance, almost as if a skyscraper had fallen.
The rustling occurred for a third time and I finally turned, a large dust cloud appeared in the distance. My eyes widened at the sheer width and it was coming straight towards me, I had no time to dodge or run. So I fell to my knees and ducked but as I hear the approaching dusts come closer I felt a hand grasp my hair and yank me up to my feet in which I came face to face with him... The man from my dreams, I gasped, he was giving me pain as he pulled the strands of my hair. The dust cloud was actually a herd of vampires, I struggled from the mans grasp as they passed making squeals and clicking noises as though in conversation. The cloud passed as they continued, I kept my eyes on him.
"I could smell the blood rushing through your veins." I opened my mouth to say something but nothing came out, my cowl keeping him from acknowledging I was a priest like him or maybe like what he once was. "Stupid girl, to run the desert alone at night." He wrapped an arm around my waist, angled my head so my neck was showing from the opening between my cowl and torso clothing.
He sunk his teeth into me almost immediately, so rough, it told me this was no vision. I gripped tightly onto his shoulders, lifting myself up and pushing my feet into his chest before any more blood could be taken. His teeth I latched from my neck, leaving a large bite mark on the right side of my neck, blood flowing out of it in streams. I fell back onto the ground, making a grunt as I attempted to push up to my feet. I stared into his eyes with complete fear before I started to choke on my blood. I fell onto my hands and knees, coughing my blood into the dirt. He did nothing but watch, I knew my end was going come in either two ways, by his hand, or by loss of blood.
I didn't care at this point, I grabbed the bottom of my cowl and ripped it from my head, throwing it to the side. I watched as puddles of blood started to fall from my neck and onto the floor. He quickly moved I crouched his eyes at my level, I held my neck tightly to suppress the blood. Strands of my black hair started to fall before my eyes. He grabbed my chin and moved my head to the side investigating the blood that crept between my nimble fingers, he certainly noticed the cross on my forehead, I knew it the moment his gaze flashed to just between my eyes.
"Priestess..." He muttered between slightly parted lips, I stilled, his eyes meeting mine once again. It was unlike anything I had seen before, I had never felt so connected with someone. He didn't take his time pulling me into a bridal place and lifting me off the ground, the last thing I remember is his eyes glaring down at me as my vision blurred and my eyelids fell lonely.
I woke up to the wind brushing the bare skin of my body, I found that I was naked. Panic rushed through my every bone, was anyone else here, this was not appropriate for a priestess, an extreme pain stung at my neck. A musky scent met my nostrils, I tried to push myself up, but I couldn't move, it was as though a counter weight was on my chest. I struggled as much as I could, but I couldn't, my back was against a cold surface and fall myself staring up at a circle opening in the distance above me.
"Help God..." I muttered. "Help me escape be free from which has bound me and send me home to your kingdom." A loud chuckle followed my words, a chuckle I could not recognize, but a face I could. He walked up beside me and leaned in close enough so his nose nearly touched my cheek, he sniffed loudly.
"You want to go to heaven, but soon enough you will learn there is nothing." He whispered in a grungy voice, a smile curling his lips as his eyes slithered down my body, his stood up staring down at my naked self. I closed my eyes and looked away, I was not going to subject to this man, whatever he was to do to me, I knew god would be at my side.
"Interesting... A priestess who has a body covered with sins." I felt a rough fingertip meet the abs of my taut stomach.
"Please..." I whined. "Stop..." My voice full of innocence, I couldn't help but turn my head to stared into his eyes, which were still grazing my nudity.
"You know you really shouldn't hide what you are. If I had known you were a priest, you wouldn't be here." He stated smugly, his sharp teeth peaking beyond his toothy grin.
"Then... Where would I be?"
"You would be on my train, or, you would end up here depending on your decision, but now you don't have one."
"Where is here?"
"Sola Mira." I felt a warm substance come up from my throat, I turned my head to the side and coughed up blood. He shook his turning his back to me and walking off.
"Wait!" I shouted, but all he did was continue walking away, I blinked and arched my back up trying to move. I realized my hands were bound by rope to whatever I was on. Suddenly, clicking started around me, I stared straight up to find a large vampire... Queen, she had no eyes, but if she did, she'd be staring at me. I knew then the fear of thousands, the mistake and impulsive decisions I made before... I would never forget them. The slimy hands of vampires darted to graze over my body, along with fangs and then I knew pain.
I don't know what type of man I like, I always fall for the bad boys, like Vaas from Farcry 3 or Eric from divergent. God help me, my mother would not approve of any of them. :)
