Mr Pretzel

Chapter 10

Previously…

"Embry!" I screamed, my cries muffled by this giant cold hands as he dragged me further into the forest. Help me!

My kidnapper pulled me through the forest as if I was a pillow, not a human. I struggled against his grasp until my whole body hurt from his tight grip. His maniacal laugh was the only break of silence. We stopped suddenly and he dropped me unceremoniously, I gasped for breath as I landed on my chest and winded myself.

"Master will be pleased, he will be very pleased." The guy said, I took the opportunity to look at him clearly. He had little grey wisps of hair sticking out from his head, giving him the electric shock look. His eyes were a blood red colour and he had the look of a person who'd spent a good portion of his life in some sort of asylum.

"Please, just let me go. Please!" I tried the old begging technique and his look turned strict.

"Now don't give me that, old Myrnin doesn't like begging." He wagged his finger at me, scolding me.

"Myrnin, is that your name?" I asked, trying to sit up.

"Aye, Myrnin was the name given to me." He had a Scottish tint to his accent.

"It's a very nice name." I tried not to stutter, though I feel my heartbeat pounding in my ears. He looked genuinely shocked at first which turned into a cheeky smile as he sat down next to me, obviously not noticing that he'd just kidnapped me.

"No one has ever told Myrnin that before. Myrnin is flattered." He put his hand to his heart and did a little bow whilst sitting down. Maybe I can befriend him and he'll let me go.

"You're welcome?" it was more of a question than a statement.

"And your name, pretty girl?" he asked, my eyes widened a little at his compliment. I was just called pretty by my creepy old kidnapper.

"Scarlett." I decided to play it safe and just tell him the truth.

"Ah Scarlett, just like the colour of blood." his eyes became more red and I moved back slightly. Myrnin's eyes grew large and he jumped up and smacked his head on a tree trunk.

"Argh! Myrnin should not have said, master will be angry." He stopped hitting his head and turned around slowly to face me, a smile spreading across his face, "Not if master never finds out that Myrnin said it. Pretty girl must be stopped from telling." He game me a dangerous smile with too much teeth.

"I-I won't tell." I stuttered, my fear getting the better of me. I'd rather be around animal people than this dangerous weirdo any day. Embry, save me!

"No, no. Pretty girl will have to become dead pretty girl. Do you know what Myrnin is, Scarlett?" He hissed my name and it made me shake in pure terror.

"I don't know." I mumbled, getting ready to run. My plan fell through when he practically flew over to me and crashed me against a tree, pain shot through my head and it whipped back into the hard wood.

"Myrnin is a vampire pretty girl, and Myrnin is just going to have to eat you so that you can't tell master." My eyes widened and I managed to let out a bloodcurdling scream before his hand camped over my hand again.

"Stop that! Screaming makes Myrnin mad. It makes so mad that he gets hungry." He pulled me head to one side to expose my neck and I felt his teeth graze my throat painfully. I squeezed my eyes tight and waited for the pain. And boy, was there pain!

I felt every agonising second of the experience. His teeth tearing through my skin. The blood being drawn from my body. I screamed against his hand until my throat was sore but the pain wouldn't stop. After what must have only been a few seconds but felt like a lifetime, I felt very light-headed and the scenery around me began to turn and spin.

A howl sounded in the distance and a moment later, my attacker was thrown off me. I yelped quietly as I felt his teeth rip more of my skin as they were yanked away. With nothing holding me up, I slouched to the ground, too weak to even hold my head up. My heart stuttered with happiness as I realised that the wolves that I had ran from had come to save my life and I would be okay. But the realist in me knew that I had lost a lot of blood and that people die everyday.

I heard a series of growls, snarls and the sound of ripping and tearing. The seconds passed like days and even breathing began to hurt. My eyes shut and refused to open and I knew I would be unconscious within seconds. I breathed out a small sigh and a last word before blacking out completely.

"Embry."

A/n. I just wanna thank you guys so much for your reviews and support! I love you all so much and even though authors do this at the end of the story, I wanted to say this now too. I looked on my story traffic the other day and I was amazed with how many people were reading this story, it's just so amazing! I would enjoy a few more reviews but even so, I can't believe that so many of you have this story on alert/favourite. To show my appreciation, I am going to be writing another chapter tonight (a longer one!) and with permission from my awesome beta Paranormal Romance, am going to be posting it straight away!

I also promise that after this next chapter, I will do some very happy and humorous chapters to even it out a bit. I don't know if you've noticed my change in style of writing but I wanted to see if you liked this style better. And if you haven't noticed, I don't mind that either. Anyone who reviews (even just a smiley face) will get a teaser from the next chapter and anonymous reviewers are so welcome!

If there's anything you want to see in the next chapters or would like to be included as a character, drop me a line and I will do my absolute best to put you in there. I might also start doing a 'Fanfiction of the upload' in case you guys are interested, let me know.

I'll be off now. Peace out and much love
