Chapter 4
I bust out the door into the crisp fall air. Leaves crunch under my feet as I walk. I can hear Eren chasing after me but I just don't care. What the fuck was he thinking, he should of at least warned me or done something besides…that. Why the hell do I feel giddy. What is happening to me. I want to scream, I'm not ok with this.
I'm so consumed in my thoughts I didn't realize Eren had stopped walking. Suddenly I'm pulled to the ground by invisible chains. I panic and start to thrash around trying to get free, which only makes me start to glow green the same as Eren's eyes. I try to think of what the hell is going on trying to place what is happening.
A firm voice from behind me commands "Release." The color fades and I'm able to stand again. I glare at eren wanting nothing more than to snap his neck. "That was the spell Armin casted. He's pretty talented for being so young." He lets out a chuckle that make my insides do a flip flop. I swallow and turn away and continue walking. "Chain" Eren commands.
Within a second my arms are bound behind my back by invisible chains. I snort and look back at him. I cock a eyebrow and wiggle my shoulders. He quickly closes the gap between us and places his hands on my arms. I want to push him off but his touch feels calming. I let out a low hum before biting my tongue.
Eren runs his fingertips down my arm making me squirm. I see him smirk "Release." I stumble with the weight of nonexistent chains being gone. He catches me as I trip over my own feet. I curse under my breath and look up at him. His eyes glow in the moonlight, they look so playful. I relax in his arms and watch as he moves closer.
Suddenly there is a cold breeze, him and I both freeze. The smell the wind brought it to familiar to me, and by the way he snarled I bet he feels the same way I do. He puts me back onto my feet before crouching to the ground. His teeth grow sharper as his eyes yellow. I prepare myself to fight for my life against hunters.
Hunter catch supernatural beings and either sell them for large sums of money or kill them in the most painful way for their species. They are the reason my mother is dead, the reason I lost everything I loved. The reason I'm alone.
I clench my jaw and sneer "Please tell me we can kill them." I say my voice a deep growl. Eren meets my eyes with his, the playfulness that was just there is now gone, replaced by pain and hatred. He nods before we slink into the shadows.
As we reach the place where the smell was coming from we crouch in the underbrush. The sight before us is bloody. There are four nymphs corpses scattered across the ground. There vocal pipes ripped out to be made into instruments, then sold on the black market. There is a dragon in a small cage that is being poked by two red headed boys. They laugh as the dragon lets out a howl.
"Stupid creature, you're so stupid for trying to save her." He gestures at a human girl whose throat was slit just deep enough so that she would die, but shallow enough so it would be slow and very painful.
She lies on the ground eyes locked with the dragons. She tries to smile to reassure her friend it would be ok. Her lips move with no words coming out, just gargling. She winces before her body goes limp. The dragon roars and tries to bite one of the boys through the bars. This earns a lash of a whip on its back. The dragon shrinks back away from the boys who just laugh.
"Look at it cower Linus, so pathetic. I would expect nothing more from vermin." One of the boys scoffs to his brother
"Surprised she was stupid enough to try to tame a pathetic beast like this." Linus laughs "It couldn't even save her." He spits hitting the dragon square in the face.
I clench my first and without even thinking I dash at the boys. Within seconds I'm behind one of them. I bite down on his neck and rip it open before spitting it out. Linus looks over at his brother and screams. I laugh and clam my hand over his mouth. "There, there" I sooth "I'm just a pathetic vermin, I cant harm you." With one swift movement I twist his head causing his neck to snap.
He falls to the floor right as Eren emerges from the dark. His eyes are filled with wonder. "How on earth did you move that fast. You were next to me one second gone the next. That was incredible. I know vampires can go fast but I haven't ever seen it." His smile disappears when his eyes rest on the girl."Why did they kill her, she's human, or at least she smells like it."
I sigh and look at her "I presume she is what humans call a trainer. She is a human who either leaves humans, or is raised by "monsters". If they are found by other humans, like she was they kill them. Then if they find there familiar they touchore it then kill it slowly." I walk over to the cage and try to open it. After looking i see a lock and sigh. "Shit, I'm tired, that wore me out."
Eren walks over to the lock and breaks it off with no effort. This time it's my turn to look at him in surprise. He looks at me and raises a eyebrow "What werewolves are strong. It's normal." He opens the cage and tries to usher the dragon out. It hisses then bites at the air making me laugh.
"I think it's telling you to fuck off." I say covering my mouth to try to hide my grin. Eren laughs and puts his hand on my shoulder.
"What do you say we call it a night. We can look for food tomorrow night, unless you wanna eat these two fuckers?" He asks pointing at linus and his brother. I shake my head and let out a small chuckle.
We start to walk back to the small house. The woods are quiet except to the crickets talking to each other. With in a second the quiet is broken. There's a shout, followed by Eren grabbing my hand and pulling me into the dark at a sprint. Then there is fire, it breaks us apart then we are running in opposite directions.
I try make my breath calm down so I can run. I run ducking under branches and jumping over rocks. I can feel my body getting tired and slowly shutting down. Suddenly I'm glowing and frozen. Armin's spell kicks in and I am left a frozen, glowing, tagert. Men surround me with guns aimed at my heart. A priest steps forward and starts to thank god for this find and how he will help cure the world of our kind. I sink to my knees preparing for the gun to go off and end my life. I think about my mom's smile and how she would smile making the greyest days seem bright. I think about my father and how he would tell jokes that would fill the house with laughter. I think about my brother who was the smartest person I ever met. I think about my sister who would either be kicking my butt or would be taking care of me and protecting me. I think about the girl who died for just being a part of the supernatural realm. I think how she died and how painful that was. I think about how Eren's lips felt on mine.
I hang my head knowing there is nothing I can do. I refuse to cry or scream for help. I'll die with my dignity. I look up at the moon wanting that to be the last thing I see.
