Chapter 1~ Let the Demons take over
Let the blood flow, as the wound deepens
Let pain sink in and cloud my vision
Let me have a taste of the Sin
Let me be cruel, as life drains out
Let the Demons take over, let me feel death.
The chill in the air is almost fading though quite persistent. The long empty road decorated by gigantic trees now casting dark shadows creating a blur. One could virtually appreciate the serenity except of the occasional intrusion of blistering headlights. Though it might appear eerie but it's Sedona Hills, nothing bad ever happens here. A few miles away the small diner is still open. The bell chimes as two customer walks in for a late night dessert. The girl quickly runs to the counter and orders for a blue berry muffin and waits patiently as the male figure shuffles himself between the tables. She giggles as to witness his dismay.
"Here you go sweet thing" Martha hands over the small paper bag to her and glances towards the young boy and winks. "Be careful there hun, with a package as beautiful as this one trouble might just follow." A small grin appeared on his face as he pays and thanks her for food. "Let's get you home Vicky" with this they both head out of the store. Both of them were silently walking, hand in hand naïve to the world surrounding them. As the house came close to vicinity they simply turned to face each other. Smiling and staring into each other's eyes.
Vicky was the first to break the trance. "I really had a nice time." He smiled and was about to say something as he felt the drop on his cheek, he shot up only to find more drops coming down to settle on his face. "Come on, we're going to be soaking wet if we stand here" he said. And both ran towards the house. It was already pouring as they reached the front porch as both tried to catch their breath. "It was amazing for me as well" he said while brushing off the droplets from his jacket. Instantly Vicky's cheeks took deep rose tints, she came closer and placed a soft kiss on the corner of his mouth.
A shiver ran down his spine as a pair of warm lips came in contact with his now cool skin, before he could sink in the feeling the warmth evaporated. In mere seconds he pulled her closer and took her lips in his. Soft flesh colliding with one another; both melting in familiar heat. The kiss was simple, almost sweet, radiating pure zeal. A sharp crack in the sky is what broke the spell. Another one followed enlightening the neighborhood and extinguishing it in a flash.
"Stay here tonight." Vicky offered as the weather clearly was an inconvenience. "You know I can't. I'll see you in school tomorrow" he let out with a sigh. "But you'll…." and within a split second he was gone. Vicky blushed as the memory of the kiss replayed over and over in her head. "Tomorrow is not good enough, I'll see in my dreams Damon." She was about to go inside but got distracted by a sound coming from the backyard. She contemplated but decided to follow it otherwise. A hazy silhouette was all she could make out; she narrowed her eyes expecting the vision to be clearer but nothing. Scattered leaves and never ending shower was all that is there. She turned towards the house as the sky split in half again, blinding her for a second. She tried to maintain her balance but the mud clad floor gave away. Soon she was to hit the ground as she felt strong arms gripping her waist. Her heart jumped at the unexpected intrusion, nonetheless was grateful.
She tried to steady herself but was unable to move, soon the realization sank in the hold getting stronger and no matter how hard she tried it won't bulge. Fear clouded her vision, she tried to scream but her voice refused to come out. At this point she felt herself being dragged further in the woods, a death hold. Desperate for release she thrashed, kicked everything was a futile attempt. Unable to keep her eyes open she let the numbness take over as of offering herself without any protest. Then she felt the arms holding her were detaching themselves, now she lay on the ground trapped by an unknown force, unable to move.
"Now you will be mine forever." The voice came like velvet, smooth but dangerous. She tried one last time to recognize the figure only to meet the hollow, dark as black. Tears started streaming down her face, now she was certain it's the devil in disguise, he has come to take her. Her body gave in as heavy weight straddled her small figure, locking her arms and legs in an immobile state. One sharp cut at the side of her stomach, followed by another on her chest, on her arms and a deep cut under her breast. The pain was beyond her endurance, she could feel every vein was slit open, warm blood oozing out mixing with the pouring water. One could literally appreciate the devil's canvas, the open flesh, agonizing flow of blood, life was slowly silently departing, it was vindictive but poetic.
Constant rain washing over her being, every drop as sharp as a needle, she felt every prick, every cut. She let it all in, waiting to be consumed by end.
