I could see all the humans walking through the streets huddled in their winter clothing as the memory came flooding back to me. I was in nothing but jeans, a shirt and a slightly thick sweater, unaffected by the cold air. People walking by me gave me odd looks. My pace quickened to get away from the sound of their pulses rising and the smell of their blood became more noticeable. It had been almost 2 years since I was turned and I struggled to control my hunger. I ran into the ally and was hit with a stronger smell of blood. The quick in take of my breath alerted the man who stood with a girl in his arms before he dropped her to the ground, her heart beat fading quickly. He straightened himself from the crouch he was in, his dark hair pulled into a ponytail dropped down his back as his head whipped around to face me, lips curled back to revel his teeth that were covered with the blood of the young girl he killed.
"Well, well. What do we have here?" His head cocked to the side as he spoke.
I wanted to flee the ally but, I didn't even have a chance to move before his hand was wrapped around my throat, fingers digging in so deep I couldn't breathe one quick movement my back collided hard with brick wall behind me dust and pieces had gone everywhere at the impacted. He looked me over quickly before he smiled. Slowly his grip lessened as he made sure I wasn't going to attack him before he released me and I dropped to the ground. Heaving, air rushed into my lungs so fast it hurt. Dropping to his knees his eyes became this mix between green and blue as the red faded away.
"You're a young one, aren't you?" He asked.
"Maybe." I said as my eyes narrowed at him.
"You're a gutsy one." Laughing as he stood with his hand out.
"What do you want?" I said getting to my feet myself.
"What makes you think I want something?" He said stepping away.
"So you don't want anything?" I questioned before looking back at the girl, faintly smelling what was left of her blood.
"I never said that. Her blood smells good doesn't it?" He smiled.
"I guess." I said.
"It's hard to control you hunger isn't it? I could help you with that." He told me as he looked back at the girl.
"Why would you help me?" I asked him.
"Because I'm one of your kind, why wouldn't I help a brethren of mine." He smiled.
"How do I know I can trust you?" I asked.
"Do you have another option?" He said walking out of the ally.
For 7 months I had been with Thomas and the many vampires he had helped over the years. I sceptical at first that he would keep his word and help me but, not only didn't he teach me to control the blood lust I had but, he had also helped me become stronger. When I first walked through the door of the warehouse he resided in some vampires would battle each other. They fought hard but, not hard enough to injure each other I was totally captivated at what I was seeing and desperately wanted to join in. Thomas saw this and offered to train me. I was unless at first, I'd been taken down more times than I could count. After a couple months I found myself getting better even though I wasn't as strong as Thomas I made up for it by being fast. Dodging attacks left and right until I had finally managed to take him down.
"Good Roman! Good." Thomas shouted with pride as I flipped him on his back with my hand on his throat holding him down.
"You better have not been going easy on me." I laughed clapping Thomas on his back after he had risen to his feet.
"Of course not!" He laughed with me.
"We are finally ready to travel to Europe." He loudly called out to everyone.
"Why are we going there?" I asked him confused.
"To see some old friends of mine." His face full of excitement and venom.
We had just arrived in a small town in Germany when I started feeling like something was wrong. Thomas looked like he was ready for battle. The look on his face showed thats exactly what where he was going and everyone else had the same look. We had stopped in front of a house that looked like a small castle, I was suddenly envious after all we lived in empty warehouses in different places around the world and these people were living in a lavish lifestyle stupid humans but, these people weren't humans, the scent of this place was all wrong.
"Vampires." My shocked tone had Thomas turn to me and smile.
"Yes." His voice dripped deadly as he spoke the word.
"What are we doing here? What is this!" I yelled.
"Quiet!" He hissed at me.
"What are we doing here?" I asked again.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the day has finally come, the day we reclaim our home from those who stole it from us! They have not only threatened us but, they have exiled us and now it all ends! Leave no survivor's but, don't kill the Blake's. They are mine." Thomas voice rang out loudly taking on this strange accent I hadn't heard before.
Without another word everyone took off, their silent foot falls raced toward the mansion. For a minute everything was quiet before the sounds of destruction and screams echoed loudly in the air. Glass broke as someone was thrown through it and landing on the ground hard. I wanted to run and hide but, I was paralyzed in the spot. More screams continue some feminine and some masculine, bones crunching and breaking at impact with the smell of blood polluting the air.
"What are you waiting for? Get in there." Thomas hissed before throwing me closer to the massacre in front of me.
"No!" I yelled at him.
"You will do this or you will die just like them!" He snarled.
I could tell her was serious I got to my feet and bolted into the wreckage. I entered through a hole in a wall I started hyperventilating at what I was seeing. Blood covered every surface with wood and stone littered the dark wood floors while a fire was just beginning to start from a knocked over candle. This place was a nightmare, my feet stumbled as I went further into the place, the heavy smell of blood became more noticeable and with a glance to my left, a girl was laying on the floor with cuts and bite marks all over her body and the gown she wore was wet with her blood. More screaming sounded as I took off up the stairs to where more bodies littered the floor. I seen people I recognized and people I didn't. As I was about to turn and I run when something hard hit me from the right and sent me flying into the wall that caved in.
I turned as the girl hissed. Her skin was covered dots of blood and teeth marks that were slowly starting to heal, while the dress she wore was dirty and torn. Her curly blonde hair was flying wildly around as she raced towards me. My hand shot out as a way to protect myself and hit her square in the chest a loud snap of something breaking made her scream and her back hit the floor. She growled at me as I got to my feet, her once blue eyes were now blood red and ready to kill. My instincts took over and I met her head on. Her long nails cut into my flesh as I grabbed her throat before her fist hit my jaw so hard it broke forcing me to let go of her.
"You think you can come in here and destroy our home, well you are wrong!" She yelled.
I stood my ground as I waited for her to attack, I saw what she was planning before she moved and I knew exactly what I was going to do. Head on she ran at me, I closed my eyes and when she was close enough I grabbed her arms and twisting my body I threw her behind me before sending her hard into what I was sure of was a wall. The impact was hard and she gasped, my eyes flew open and I caught sight of what happened. A piece of wood that was sticking out of the wall, was now sticking out of the girls chest in front of me. She looked at it as blood ran fast down her dress soaking it. Our eyes met mine for a brief second, her face showed her pain and sadness before they slowly melted away and the life left her. I yelled out and pulled her body off the spike, yelling at her to wake up and that I was sorry but, it was useless. Blood now coated my hands and I tried to run away from her but only made it a few feet before I collapsed against one of the walls.
"Allison!" Someone screamed.
A tall blonde hit the floor hard as she pulled the girl onto her lap dry sobs wracked her body as she pleaded for her to open her eyes. I shifted and the blonde head shot towards me. Her face turned deadly as she stared at the dry blood on my hands. I didn't look behind me as I fled the house.
