Chapter VI

Seven Months Ago – Sunset Valley, Austin, Texas.

Elena POV

Rene and I where in Austin, Texas for some business. It was a few weeks after my birthday trip to Venice and I couldn't be happier. I had to say I was truly happy again, no more vampires trying to kill me and looking over my shoulder for a boyfriend's psychopathic ex-girlfriend, everything was great.

Rene and I were heading back to our hotel after having some dinner when something grabbed us. I don't know what exactly happened next, I heard Rene scream, before I felt something sharp pierced through flesh on my neck before red hot fire spread through me.

I don't know how long I was pain, but it wasn't unlike anything I had ever felt. It was absolutely excruciating, I tried to think through the pain, focusing on my happy memoires of my adoptive parents, Bonnie, Jeremy, Alaric and Jenna.

I could hear someone taunting me as I screamed and I immediately stopped with a great deal of difficulty as I refused to give that person the satisfaction of hearing me scream. As the pain continued I soon began to feel a comforting presence beside me. I don't know if it was someone or something, but what ever it was I felt safe.

As the pain started to clear I could hear my heart pounding in my chest, but as the pain finally cleared it suddenly stopped as my eyes flew open and I could see and hear everything, to the tiniest speck in the air.

Suddenly I locked eyes with this handsome honey blond male with the body of a born fighter. He had pale skin and scars on every part of his visible skin and beautiful ruby red eyes that I could feel myself drawn to.

I didn't recognize my surroundings but I still felt safe as I looked at this perfect man in front of me. All of a sudden I found myself in a crouch as a pale Hispanic woman came towards us with the same red eyes, expect instead of the sorrow and lost look in my angel's eyes, I saw pure cruelty and malice in her eyes.

What the hell happened to me? I thought as she came to stop in front of us. "Good you're awake. You may call me, Mistress Maria." She said as I suddenly felt an unbearable burning in my throat. I immediately clutched my throat as I tried to ease the pain, when the smell of something that made my mouth water and the burn in my throat worst drifted to my senses.

I looked around to see if I could find the source of the smell when my eyes widened as I saw Rene lying across the room, pale and absolutely lifeless as about 20 vampires were scattered all around feeding on humans and I finally realized what hap happened to me.

I was a vampire, of that I was sure; I could hear the faint heartbeats of the humans still alive and smell the scent of their blood. But something wasn't right. These vampire didn't have fangs or darkened veins under their eyes, instead I noticed as the setting sun hit their skin it sparkled and they too all had red eyes. What the hell?

"Thirsty? Don't worry I have someone special for you?" Maria said as she brought my attention back to her and she walked away for a moment before she came back and what I saw before me made my dead heart break in my chest.

In her arms was a boy no more than six with brown hair and eyes with a light tan complexion and complete and utter fear in his eyes as he clutched a light brown teddy bear in his tiny arms. Maria set the boy down unto his feet in front of me as I could feel the burn my throat in my throat get worst and I could hear his heart hammering in his chest.

"Go ahead. Enjoy." Maria said as she smiled at me maliciously and I shook my head in defiance. Maybe it was my humanity, if I even had any, that drove me but I didn't care how thirsty I was, I could never ever kill a child.

Maria scowled as she grabbed the boy by the neck from behind as she glared at me. "I am your mistress and you will obey me. Now feed." She hissed as I glared at her defiantly and I could see they sky began to darken from storm clouds forming over ahead.

"Please don't hurt me." The boy pleaded as tears began to run freely down his cheeks and winced as Maria tightened her hold on him before she began to dig her nails into his neck, drawing blood as I felt anger and the thirst rise up in me even more.

"Feed." She ordered. "No! I will not kill him." I yelled, my own voice not recognizable to even me, before Maria scowled even more at my defiance and threw the boy into the wall only a few feet away from me and the sound of bones breaking drifted to me as he cried out in pain.

"I am your mistress and you will do as I command. I made you." Maria hissed bring my attention back to her from the wounded boy a few feet away from me crying in pain as I felt my anger turn into full blown out rage as thunder rolled and lightening flash over head.

"You'll wish you hadn't." I said before I lunged at her. She obviously wasn't expecting the attack as I caught her into a choke hold before I ripped her head clean off her shoulders. I dropped her body to the ground as I felt a pair of teeth sink into my arm.

I roared in pain as another set of teeth came down in my other arm and all of a sudden the first vampire was ripped off of me and a bolt of lightening came from out my hands and struck the other vampire biting me.

The vampire immediately caught on fire as I soon found myself facing twenty pissed off vampires. Suddenly I felt a hand a grab me and I didn't think or look who it was I immediately through them off of me before what happened next passed in a blur.

I had killed every last vampire in that camp that dare to attack me in my rage and that happened to be everyone, expect thankfully my angel that had seemed to disappear. I had killed everyone without hesitation, without mercy and without remorse. Some died by my own hands, other by the lightening that I shot from my hands and even some that came from the sky, I still have no idea how that happened but I wasn't complaining.

Once the fighting was over I set the bodies a blaze, all but the humans as I saw them still moving. I would deal with humans later and even though I had sustained some other bites during the fight as of right now I was more concerned with the small boy dying in this forsaken place.

"What's your name?" I asked as I ran over to him with my newfound speed and gathered him into my arms, trying to be careful of his injuries. "Joshua." He whimpered. "You're going to be alright, Joshua." I said before I broke into a run and took him to the nearest hospital I could find as I prayed that I was right.

But I wasn't. After days and days of staying by his side, Joshua had died. The doctors had said that his internal damage was too great and had he gotten to them sooner they could have been able to help him better, but the best they could do for him was ease his passing.

After Joshua had died I was consumed with grief and rage as I began to run out of the city, I didn't realize where I was running to until I caught the scent of vampire ash but I couldn't smell any humans. I ran straight into the camp and was shocked to see that they were all gone.

Their bodies were all gone and the ground hadn't looked disturbed; all that was left was vampire ash that hadn't fully blown away yet. I wasn't sure who had done this but I really didn't care as I turned to leave something caught me eye on the far side of the camp.

It looked like a cabin. I walked over to it and realized it was Maria's cabin. I could tell from her fowl scent that permeated the place. The cabin had a bed, which confused me because I figured out that I can't sleep, a desk and other trinkets around the place.

Something on Maria's desk caught my eye as I moved over to find a map, but it wasn't any other map, it a map showing different territories and the names of owned them and number of vampires in their…army? Vampire army? Is that what bitch Maria turned me for, to fight for her, but as I right now I didn't care. The only thing on my mind was Rene, Joshua and revenge.

At the thought of Rene and Joshua lying lifeless in my arms flashed in my mind as the sky darkened above and without think it through I ran to nearest territory and killed every last vampire there without evening touching them.

Lightening rained down from the sky over the camp catching it on fire before any vampire could escape. Any vampire that was lucky enough get out of the camp was quickly shot down by me and before I knew it, every army in south fell by my hand...none was spared and no one escaped.

CLIFFHANGER!
