Currently listening to- August is Over – We the Kings (Yes, something different :P)
So before, I start, I would like to send kudos to my first reviewer for Bree's Story, thank you –drum roll- EndlessSkies (:
Secondly, my chap stick and box of Lucky Charms. They're the reason I don't need to get up from my desk. And my iTunes for choosing to cooperate today by FINALLY opening and not lagging.
Now, I shall review what had happened the past 2 chapters. Bree and her friend, Sara are at WF and Bree finds out about a rumor Sara said, and then confronts her outside, in a forest to avoid attention. They get creeped eventually and then decide to return back. But they encounter a fire haired feline like woman (Victoria, but Sara and Bree don't know that), and a blond boy, Riley (they know his name), and the girls get bitten and taken away.
SO, I SHALL BEGIN! BAHHA. (Ok, it wasn't funny…)
Xx
When: Formal night, Bree and Sara are bitten and being taken away
As we flew, the cold air ripping around me did not stop the fire. I felt the flames burning to my chest and proceeding down my arm. Sara was screaming next to me, yelling about fire, she probably felt the same fire I felt also.
I felt myself being dropped on the ground, and heard Sara's body thump next to me. As our voices ran out, I heard whispers. I caught bits of it.
"Who is it?"
"Are they okay?"
"There's more?"
"Gosh that is such a horrible sound, I heard it for miles"
"Shut up Joey."
SILENCE! DID I SAY YOU COULD TALK!? LEAVE THE NEW ONES ALONE. AND BE QUIET!" someone yelled, it sounded like Riley.
I gasped and the fire burned again, I screamed and screamed, but no doused the fire and no one answered my screams. Next to me, Sara's wailing didn't make it any better. I knew it had only been less than an hour since meeting Riley and his lady, I wondered if I was dying.
3 days later.
What seemed like an eternity, the flames had finally died down a little. Every now and then, there were just little prickles, painless and painful. The most painful happened near my heart. I gasped and gasped for air and pounded my heart to make it go away. My efforts were, effortless. After being dumped, I didn't hear anything from Sara, sometimes gave a little moan in pain, but nothing. Sometimes I thought she had died. But her little squeaks kept that thought away when it came back. I thought about Marcus, how he had expected me to come back and dance with him like promised. What day was it? When will I see him again? Will I ever? The pain came back, not as strong as it was before, but it hurt. I screamed a little and it died down. I tried to sleep but I just couldn't.
Eventually, the pain never came back. I sat up, and looked around. Sara was lying next to me, and she stirred a little.
"Sara." I whispered. My voice sounded a little different, it was higher, and Sara looked different. She was pale; her blonde hair covered her heart shaped face, making her seem paler. I reached my hand at her, brushing the hair, she groaned a little. I stopped, not from her sound, but my hand. It was pale. Pale, not tan like a warm day. Pale, white, ghost like, almost albino. Sara opened her eyes, and sat up.
"Bree? Where are we? What happen- BREE WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR EYES?"
I looked at her, wondering what she meant, and then I saw it.
"SARA YOUR EYES! THEY'RE RED!"
"SO ARE YOURS!"
"WHAT HAPPENED TO US!?"
"WHY ARE YOU PALE!? WHY AM I PALE!?"
"Ah. I see they have found out." A devilish voice called. "Riley, it's time to explain."
"Yes, my lovely." A chiming voice rang, and in he walked in.
I looked around more clearly. It looked like we were in a large cabin. Probably out deep in the forest where we first encountered the red eyed creatures. The cabin, maybe 2 stories up, we were in a room all alone.
"Where are the others, Riley?" the woman asked.
"Out, hunting." He replied.
"I see" and she departed.
Riley chuckled, "I see you have woken up, that wasn't so bad, was it? Don't answer. I know your dying to ask me questions like your eyes, and your skin. It's simple. You're vampires."
I stiffened. Vampires? They're real? I have fangs? How come I'm awake now? Where are the coffins?
"No, not the vampires your media enjoys spilling. No coffins, no fangs, but we are real. Are you hungry children?"
We didn't answer.
"Well, alright. You probably are. The rules here are simple. My mistress and I own you. You are to follow our rules, or we can kill you in a second. We know your scent, if you escape, we will find you. You are not to have contact with any humans, absolutely none. You cannot return to your homes or anything from your human lives. The only time you can go out, is when I say you can, and that is to feed. You are to feed on humans, choose whomever you would like. If you see anyone who doesn't not have red eyes, you are to not have contact with them. Absolutely no one. Understood?"
We nodded.
"You are dismissed." And he turned and walked out the door. "Oh yes, remember to come back in 3 hours. You are new and fresh, one more hour for you. Go feed." And pointed to the main door.
We walked down the stairs and out. The smell of fresh air hit me harder than ever.
"Sara? Where do you think we are?"
"I don't know Bree, do you think he's serious about killing us?"
All the sudden, "Seattle is that way." A female voice informed us. She pointed west. "Run, before I dispose of you, but be inconspicuous."
We started jogging.
"Bree, I'm scared.
"Me too. Let's go" and I ran faster.
Yet, this faster was different. I felt like I was flying, and I ran so fast, the trees became blurs. What did I become? Sara followed me. We got to a highway, and ran, following the signs leading into Seattle. We came into the city boundary and it hit me. The smells. They were tantalizing. I wanted it, I felt hungry. And my mouth salivated, but it didn't taste right, it tasted poisonous. A man walked past me, and his scent caught me like a fish on a hook. I wanted him, not him, but his blood.
"Be inconspicuous" the cat woman's voice echoed in my head. And I listened.
I walked after him, my mouth salivating with every step I took closer to him.
"Excuse me sir" I called, making my voice as soft as honey.
"How may I help you?" he stopped and answered. I saw the blood rush in his head.
"I accidentally had my purse dropped in a trash can in that alley." I pointed into the closest alley. "I was on the roof for a photo shoot, see I'm an aspiring model, but the wind blew it out, and you see, I'm not tall enough to reach into the dumpster. So I was hoping you could just get it for me." I batted my eyelashes.
"Oh of course, I'd be glad to help you" he answered eagerly, probably thinking I'd reward him a little physically. We walked together to the alley, with Sara following; he turned to me, pointing to a dumpster. His blood pleaded me to taste it.
"This one?"
"Yes I think so."
He bent over and took a look; I ran up to him and kicked him. I apparently had a little more strength than I thought I had. I heard a sickening crunch.
"Brilliant Bree!" Sara said.
I bent over to him and sank my teeth in and sucked. It was like, eating candy for the first time as a toddler. I wanted more.
