Alex walked into a nightmare. There were dead bodies everywhere. The smell of decay hung heavy in the air. She gasped and stumbled backwards. The vampire chuckled and went to a table covered in medieval looking instruments. Alex tried to stay calm but it was hard. The corpses' faces seemed to be locked in silent screams when they died. She tried not to notice the dark prints on the wall and floor because it could only be the blood from the victims. Her captor was muttering to himself while searching for whatever instrument he was going to use on her first. She thought about running but knew she would never make it in time. Wanting to try anyway she slowly backed up towards the door. She gripped the handle and pulled with all her strength..it didn't budge.
"Its sealed shut I am afraid." Said a mock fear filled voice from right behind her. Alex whirled around to see the vampire holding a thick piece of rope in order to tie her up with. Her eyes darted around looking for any kind of weapon. She spotted a stake that one victim had clutched tightly before death took her.
"You don't want to do this. My boyfriend and friends will kill you. You will never get away with this." Alex said trying to distract the vampire while she carefully moved towards the stake.
"Oh yes I will. I have my ways little one." The vampire said amused by his captives behavior. He had a feeling this was going to be his most exciting kill yet. The girl was feisty just the way he liked them. Her fear has all but consumed her since he brought her into the blood room as he liked to call it. She didn't show it but her body reeked and screamed of her fear. The part of him that he thought was long dead buried stirred and demanded he like the girl go. He struggled momentarily with his other half and almost missed the stake that was aimed right at his heart.
Alex had successfully reached the stake and while the vampire appeared to be lost in his own thoughts grabbed it and aimed it right at his cold dead heart. He realized what was happening right at that moment and moved with lightning speed. He knocked the stake right out of her hand, tackling her to the ground and roughly pulling her hands behind her back tying them painfully tight.
"Excitement and struggle only makes the kill all the more enjoyable and thrilling." Alex heard him whisper in her ear. His lips moved to the soft skin of her neck. He gripped her hair tight and placed a kiss right on her exposed vein. She shivered violently and struggled uselessly when she felt his teeth scrape over her skin. He chuckled darkly and let her go. She stared at him with a mixture of hatred and fear in her eyes as she backed up against the wall.
"Why? Why would you do this?" Alex whispered. She watched as the question caused his red eyes to flicker back to their normal dark color. Thoughtfulness filled his eyes and he said,
"Its the blood craving little one. It drives you mad, never leaving you satisfied. Its a disease always eating at you. Your blood calls to me even now as its filled with fear. Your hearts beating faster and the blood is rushing in your veins calling out to me..begging for release." His eyes sparkled with sadness and he continued saying, "I wasn't always like this. Back before the disease took me I had a family but I watched them die one by one because of the disease..the madness that took their very souls completely consuming them till eventually they killed themselves. Don't you see? I want to die. I want to be with my family." Alex sat listening. The vampire was lost in thoughts of his past. Just like Myrnin.. her heart whispered. He was filled with pain and despair from his past just wanting to die and end the pain, the heartache.
"Theres a cure. You don't have to die. You can.." Alex started to say but the vampire shook his head sadly. He stepped away and picked up the fallen stake. Several seconds past as he stared at it with sightless eyes. He approached her and untied her bound wrists. Alex rubbed her numb wrists trying to feeling back into them. The vampire held out the stake. She grabbed it and gripped it tightly. Emotions roared through her. Compassion..fear..hatred..sadness.
"Kill me. End my misery." The vampire said. He braced himself and stood with his feet apart. Alex gripped the stake tighter causing her knuckles to turn white.
"I..I can't."She whispered. Even though this vampire killed so many innocents and tried to kill her she just couldn't seem to move her hand containing the stake.
"Please. Hurry! Hurry you must hurry! The disease its fighting..the craving.." The vampire said hoarsely and his body began to shake horribly. He seemed to be at struggle with himself. Good vs Bad. Alex watched as his eyes flickered from red to dark to red again. Anguished pain filled sounds tore from his lips. Suddenly he stopped and fell into a boneless heap on the ground. Alex moved a step forward but was thrown backward, slamming against the wall. The vampire was once again a killer. He snarled and his eyes flared a dark blood red.
"You should have killed me when you had the chance you foolish stupid girl." He snarled. His fangs grew to their lethal sharp length and she braced herself for his bite. Closing her eyes she waited. Time seemed to slow and drag on. She heard a roar fill the room.
She was free and crumpled to the floor. She heard snarls and see struggled to see what was happening. Myrnin! It was Myrnin fighting with the other vampire. His eyes were blood red and he was more lethal and powerful then she had ever seen. She felt a touch on her shoulder and looked up to see Michael. She jumped up and fell into his embrace. Michael held her head against his shoulder so she wouldn't see the fight. She could hear it however and that if possible was worse. She heard a sickening crunch and thud before silence filled the room. Alex turned to see Myrnin dirty but otherwise unharmed step out of the shadows. He walked proud and tall like her own warrior towards her. She let loose a cry and flew into his arms. He held her tight. All the horror that had happened in the last few hours came over her and she started to sob. Myrnin could only hold her and offer the comfort she needed.
Later that night Myrnin watched Alex sleep. She was bruised but ok. He kept thinking of how close he had been. He could have lost her. But you didn't he told himself sternly. She was here alive and well. After bringing her home they and the others had sat around and talked for hours. Alex had been tired he could tell but she was afraid to go to sleep. She was drifting asleep in his arms when he finally picked her up and carried her to bed. He laid her down and would have moved away if she had not gripped his shirt and looked at him with pleading eyes. He gathered her in his arms once again and covered them up with a blanket. He pressed a gentle kiss on her forehead and smiled when she murmured a sleepy protest and snuggled more into his arms.
"I love you Alex with all my heart. I wont let anything happen to you. I promise." He whispered to her. Alex turned to him and opened her eyes. She smiled at his startled expression. She had been asleep but had heard what he whispered to her.
"I love you too Myrnin. Always." She said softly and drifted back to sleep. She was safe and she was in the arms of the man she loved and who her loved her back.
Ok so thats basically the ending of this story. I am not so sure about it so if you have any suggestions let me know. I am writing an epilogue that could be a starter for a sequel. Thanks everyone for the help and reviews! :D
