Me: I am really aware that my last chapter was really, really short. Im so sorry about it, but I had writers block... Im working as fast as I can on this, please bear with me.
~Chapter 8~
"Where are we going?" I asked for the umpteenth time as he carried me, not so gently through the woods. He hadn't said much at all, and even I was getting bored of swinging back and forth on his back upside down.
"You'll know when we get there wont you?" He chuckled easily. I sighed, flopping forward against his back. My chin bounced off of him as he walked, my sword poking my side as we moved.
"Why didn't you disarm me?" I questioned. Most kidnappers would do that right? This whole situation was weird. Brad sighed and threw me to the ground. I rubbed my butt.
"Look, girl. Im not the normal vampire-"
"I can see that," he rolled his eyes.
"And I don't want to kill you... Yet. And if and when im ready to see you die, I want you to be able to put up some sort of fight. So im taking the chance of you having that sword," I looked at him.
"You are oooone straaaaange cookie," He laughed at that.
"Your stupid. Rest for a moment, then im carrying you to my harem," I leaned back against a tree.
"You have a harem?" He pulled out a little metal flask and unscrewed the cap and taking a swig. It took him a moment, before he pulled the flask away from his lips.
"I'm one of the...how should I put it...? I'm not the leader or anything, but im important to them. I do most of the dangerous and dirty missions that they need done,"
"So... Your their bitch?" He glared at me. I grinned at him slightly. That night he was scary, but seeing him in the light? As if. He reminded me of a dog in his own little way.
"Please. Im not their bitch. I have an important part to play," I rolled my eyes slightly.
"So your job is to bring me back to your "harem" and what? They going to kill me? Wouldn't it be better if you just did it now-" I was cut off by a dagger hitting the tree , only a few centimeters away from my head. My mouth hung open slightly as I stared at Bradley who had a smug smile on his face. He came over and pulled the mini blade from the tree.
"Killing you right now wouldn't be much fun. You should remember that I am your enemy. Don't be so calm around me," I nodded slightly, shivering at the evilly playful look he was giving me. Even though he was being somewhat nice I couldn't forget what he could do. He also couldn't forget what I could do. Some thing big was going to happen; and at some point or another, there was going to be blood shed.
I watched Bradley for a moment. There was an easiness in the way that he moved. He was swift, strong and good on his feet. A vampire was in every part of him. I stared at him longer, trying to see if there was weakness anywhere around him. Nothing. He was different from other vampires I had faced, they all where reckless, leaving themselves open allowing me to kill them swiftly. But he moved in away that blocked all his vital spots. If I was going to fight him, there was a slim chance that I would win, even with all the training I had gone through. I would have too keep up with him at all times to look for an opening.
"Like what you see?" He smirked at me. I rolled my eyes at him.
"Bradifer you wish I liked what I saw," He looked at me confused.
"Bradifer? What the hell is that?"
"Its your nickname," I stood up stretching. "Lets keep going, if I'm going to die then I don't want the others to watch, and knowing Aubrey, she's on her way right now to kick your ass,"
Aubrey's POV:
"GOD DAMNIT!" I shouted. I paced back and forth by the tree line. Gaara, Kankuro and Temari had come out of the van as soon as I turned into my wolf form. It had taken a lot to calm me down long enough to shift back. No one had spoken after Kuro explained our new situation. Taylor had just been kidnapped, without much of a problem. Either we were getting slower and lazier or the vampires where getting better, learning from their mistakes as they went along. This was going to make killing them all that much harder. That thought alone pissed me off.
Gaara leaned against the van.
"So... What do you suppose we do?" He asked in his throaty voice that reminded me of a pickle. Not really sure why... I thought about his question for a moment.
"First things first, I need to talk to Taylor's father. Then we're going to get you guys as loaded up with weapons as possible and track down that son of a bitch," I heard Kuro hiss his approval, and Arashi nodded his head. It was then that I noticed that Ethan wasn't within the group any more. I shrugged it off. That was the least of my worries. Ethan could handle himself. I pulled out my cell phone and dialed the familiar number.
"Hello Aubrey," On the first ring. Nice.
"Taylors been kidnapped by a vampire-" He sighed from the other end.
"Are you guys even IN Vermont yet?" My eye twitched in slight irritation.
"Yes, we are, but you don't understand, she was kidnapped by a vampire," He cleared his throat.
"I heard you Aubrey. Listen to me. Taylor can take care of herself. Yes I'm worried, that's what fathers do. But that's why I have you with her at all times. Now, I founds something interesting. All over the New England area more and more people have gone missing or found with their blood nearly drained from there bodies," I paused for a moment, taking in what he had just said.
"All around the ages of 13-19. I believe whats going on is much bigger than what we originally thought. I don't think that there are a bunch of rogue vampires out there, I think they have a new queen. I don't know for sure, but it would make a little since if my thoughts are correct," I breathed, finally understanding what he was saying.
"You think that the vampires are all being ruled by a new queen and that she's using her power to create a vampire army?"
"Exactly," A small pelt of fear welled up in my gut, and I shut it off, sending the feeling away.
"If that's the case we need to hurry, find Taylor and kill the queen... Again..."
"That's all I can help you with right now. I'm looking into old mythology though, trying to find away to kill the core of the vampires, the queen. Call me again when you get Tay," and he hung up. I groaned. A vampire army? Worst of all that would mean that the vamps that we were going up against where new borns... I pocketed my phone before turning back to the group.
"Everyone, get the weapons you feel comfortable with. Gaara there are rocks around if you wish to make sand," I headed to the back of the van grabbing a variety belt and sticking my katana in it, along with two daggers and two pistols, loaded with wooden silver bullets. I took and extra moments to set up my throwing knives, hiding them in my thigh straps. Once I was all set I backed away. Kuro had transformed, becoming a much larger more scary demon. Arashi had done the same. A wave of uneasiness washed over me. Arashi had failed me before, betraying me to a hole new level, and now I was being forced to trust him again? I new I had to do it, if I was going to get Tay back. I jumped onto Arashi's back, a feeling that was all too familiar.
I looked around. Everyone was set. With an small growl I gripped Arashi's fur.
"Lets go!"
