Under The Darkness

Chapter 3:

I woke up to the sound of a bolt being slid across the door. I jumped in surprise and looked up to see a woman with brown hair, brown eyes and pale skin standing at the door in a white pant suit holding a clipboard in her hand, with a few guards with her.

"Okay," she said, her voice sounded like wind chimes, "Well for the newcomers who don't know who I am, my name is Headmistress Kirova."

Headmistress? What? Nothing she said made any sense. But I listened closely. A few other girls bowed their head in acknowledgement. But I refused. I wasn't going to bow my head to people that kidnapped me. "There's some business we have to take care of." She looked down at her clipboard. "When I call your name, one of the guards will unlink your chains and make your way over to the right hand side of the wall." She looked up and held our stare and then her eyes fell on mine and she smiled sweetly. "Rosemarie Hathaway," she chimed, "I'm glad to see your arrival is just on time!"

My eyes nearly bulged out of my sockets and my mouth agaped a little. How did she know my name?

"Natalie, Theresa, and Pauline," she said.

Men walked in and uncuffed the girls one at a time and they moved into position, standing side-by-side and holding each others hands, looking terrified.

Headmistress pointed at two girls humming idily along. "Them," she murmured and used her pen to scribble a few notes down. Two men walked over to the girls, I expected them to uncuff them like they did the last girls, but they took their heads in their hands and made a swift jerk to the side and suddnely they lied their limp on the floor, head at aan odd angle. My breath caught in my throat.

My eyes flickered over to a man in the back who was gazing at me. He had long brown chin-length hair, brown eyes and tanned skin. Something about him looked familiar, yet new at the same time. He was hot. Around six foot and very muscly. He looked like a Greek God, but I wasn't going to let that stand in the way of the fact that these were the enemy.

They left, leaving the lifeless and limp bodies lying there. I looked over to one of the girls sitting closest to me. Her blonde hair sat in messy ringlets and her hair was dirty and muddy, she had green eyes and really pale skin.

"Where are we?" I asked her. "Who are these people? And why did they just leave those girls bodies' there?"

She looked at me. "I don't know where we are, but they're vampires. And girls' come and go here. Some go crazy and get killed, their bodies get left here so we can get used of death or something like that."

"No, vampires aren't real," I replied looking her dead in the eye.

"So you're telling me after everything you've seen here, you still don't think they exist?" She asked.

I sat there looking at the ceiling, thinking about it. "I guess not," I replied. "Maybe."

After that we didn't talk again. I just sat there, twiddling my thumbs and remembering my old life until I fell to sleep again.

I sat in a boat, looking out across a lake. I was wearing a bonnet, a white dress with a green ribbon and a pink floral design. And sitting across from me sat a man with chin lengh brown hair, tied back at the nape of his neck, wearing a white button-up long sleeve shirt, black trousers and suspenders. It was the same man from earlier that was staring at me. He was rowing the little boat across the lake. "Dimitri this is so beautiful," I said, glancing around as the sun set over the mountains and wild flowers bloomed everywhere over the mountain side against the green grass.

He looked up at me and stopped rowing when we were in the middle. He dug through a satchel and handed me a sandwhich with lettuce, tomato, onion and ham. I ate it slowly watching as the sun set an omnious orange glow over the world and sighed. It was so beautiful. Dimitri sat looking at me the whole time he ate his sandwhich looking nervous. "You are so beautiful Daedris," he smiled. Gazing at me appreciatively. But I couldn't quite understand because my name was Rosemarie. Not Daedris. I looked down at my reflection in the lake. My hair wasn't brown but it was a honey golden blonde and I had bright blue eyes. But all my features was exactly the same. It was like looking at me but not really. It was so confusing. I looked back up at him as I finished my sandwhich, brushing the crumbs off my dress. And I watched as he got down on one knee and pulled out a black velvet box. "Daedris. I have loved you since the moment I met you. Will you do the extraordinary honour of being my wife?" As he finished he opened the box to reveal a ring with a diamond sitting centre with saphires around it.

I gasped and jumped up, and at that moment the bock rocked and tipped over and Iwe fell overboard. Dimitri held me up still holding the box with the ring still inside and we both laughed. "Yes!" I exclaimed. "Of course I'll marry you!"

He slid the ring onto my finger.

"Daedris!" Yelled a man from behind us.

I turned around and seen man coming down the hill looking furious and I hurriedly got out of the water. He seen Dimitri and looked even angrier. "What do you think you're doing with this farm BOY?" He yelled.

"Leave me be Joseph!" I yelled. "Go back home!"

He pulled out a gun. "I will not let you disgrace this family any more!"

Then a lound shot fired through the field and echoed as it bounced off the hills. I gasped and looked down to see a huge gaping hole in my stomach and my dress was soaked in blood. I fell to the ground and Dimitri was standing over me in a heartbeat. I took his face in my hands as I felt my life force spill out onto the grass. "I love you Dimitti!" I whispered. He had tears in his eyes amd his face was crumpled with sadness and regret. He shook his head. Soon my eyes shut and I drifted away.
