OMG I'm sooooooo sorry guys! I forgot to post this, so maybe things'll make more sense!
I couldn't tell if my eyes were open or not. There was only darkness. Whispers of unfamiliar voices filled the air. I wanted to scream but something was tied around my mouth. My wrists and ankles were tied too.
"Darren Shan," An ominous voice said. "It's about time I've met you."
There was now a dim light. A tall hooded figure circled me. The only visible part of the creature was two glowing red eyes. "You say this boy is vampire and vampaneze?"
"That's correct, my Lord." That was Gannen's voice!
Only then did I realize that I'd been tricked.
"He knows about them, then, and their plans to wage war on us."
"He might." Gannen answered. "I don't think-"
The back of the hooded creature's hand collided with Gannen's face.
"You do not question me." He hissed. "Understand?"
Gannen nodded and then stepped back.
"Now," The creature looked at me. "Let's find out what the little mutt knows."
In a room with two vampaneze.
One had two long scars stretching down the right side of his face. When he closed his eyes I could see the scars running over his eyelid. The other vampaneze had one red eye and one light green eye.
The vampaneze with the scars untied the cloth from around my mouth. Seeing this as an opportunity, as soon as it was off, I screamed.
"It's alright. We won't hurt you." The scarred one told me.
"We just want to know a few things." The other said.
I fidgeted, trying to get my arms untied somehow. It had always looked so easy in the spy movies. The main character's all tied up and they find a weak spot in the ropes and break free…but this isn't a movie. This is reality.
"What are the Vampire Princes planning regarding the treaty?"
"I don't know." I answered him.
"Are they planning an attack on the vampaneze?"
"I don't know!"
"I think our little friend here might need some persuasion…." The red and green eyed one grinned.
A knife was dragged across my arm. Slowly. Pain. I scream loudly.
"Now," The scarred one said as the blade was lifted off my skin. "Where were we…oh yes, Vampire Mountain. Where's the exact entrance?"
"I don't know!"
The two vampaneze looked at each other.
"He's not talking. Maybe…" The scarred one began. "I don't want to do it though."
"I'll do it then."
Another quick slash, only it was to my back this time. I let out a pained yell. I was scared—worried that I wouldn't make it out alive. Tears fell from my eyes.
"One more time," The green-eyed one sneered. "Tell us what we want to know."
"I don't know what you're talking about! Honest I don't!"
"I don't think he knows anything." The green eyed one said.
"He's just a kid," The scarred one answered. "Just an innocent kid."
"So what do you want to do?" The green eyed one retorted. "Defy the Lord's orders?"
The scarred one shook his head before saying, "If you want to continue to torture one of our own, then fine. You can. I won't do it."
"You're a fool, Lino."
"Almost as foolish as you, Shad."
The green eyed one, Shad, growled at Lino and glared at me. Shad pulled out the knife again and I prepared for the pain. A quick slash across the side of my face. I screamed.
"Tell us!"
"I swear on my life, I don't know what you're talking about!"
Shad pulled his arm back to strike me again, but Lino grabbed the knife from him.
"Enough!" Lino snapped. "Hurting him further won't make him talk. He knows nothing!"
"He knows something and I plan on finding out!"
Lino glared viciously at Shad. Shad slunk away and left the room. Lino shook his head sadly. "Torturing one of our own…what have we come to? Sure, we may kill our victims, but this is a new low. It's like we don't have any morals…"
There was silence between us.
"You seem like a great kid…and…I'm sorry I have to do this."
He came at me and then…
Dum dum dum!
Review if you want the next chapter! Muahahahaha!
