Part 2 of 3! I love these chapters and I know I said that before but I'm going to say it again. I LOVE THESE CHAPTERS. If I may say, I think that these chapters are pretty EPIC too. I hope that this came out good. It took me a while to figure out how to write a scene like this, but I think it came out pretty damn well, if I say so myself. =) So please enjoy~
Nasty little bastards. They're nothing like Strigoi. They're stronger, faster and a hell of a lot harder to beat the shit out of. You can't even tell them apart from dhampirs or humans because they look so normal. And I fell right into his trap.
Leo had me pinned down by my wrists and was on top of me so I couldn't move the lower half of my body either. "Rose," his voice was deeper and it lost its accent. "I was hoping that you would put up more of a fight, this is very disappointing."
He leaned in to drink from my neck, but as he came down it gave me just enough room the knee him in the groin. It was a pretty good kick too, because he immediately let go of my wrists and doubled over. I got off the ground and kicked him in the face. He yelled out in pain and I made a run for it, which was pretty hard considering I had on stilettos.
I got as far as the edge of the meadow until I noticed two pairs of bright blue eyes staring at me from inside the trees.
'Shit, he brought friends.'
I ran back in the other direction but found that Leo had already gotten up and was coming my way with the look of pure hatred all over his pretty face. "Rose, don't make this harder than it needs to be."
"And Leo, don't make this harder than it needs to be as well. Hand her over." A women's voice came from behind me and walked toward Leo. Her short, blond hair was tied neatly at the nape of her neck. She was wearing all black, with her hands on her hips.
"No way in hell, Shannon. I caught her, she's mine."
Another figure appeared from the trees, he was tall and also wearing all black. "Better listen to what she says, she's not in the best of moods."
"How about not giving me to anyone? I'm not something to be fought over." I said trying to stall them.
"Rose, stay out of this." Leo's hands were in fists by his sides.
They started arguing about what they should do with me. During this time, it also started raining. Hard. I tried backing up, but the guy, whose name I found out to be was Beaumont, was holding me by my arms in a death grip. "Keep still and maybe I'll make your death pleasurable." he whispered from behind me.
"Your fangs get anywhere near my neck, I'll rip them out."
"You won't have a chance, little girl." I could envision the cocky smile on his lips.
"Try me." I then quickly elbowed him in the gut. He grunted, letting me go and holding his stomach. He raised his gaze from the ground then to me, his eyes going from a hazel to the bright blue I saw before. He ran toward me but I landed a roundhouse kick to his temple, making him stagger backwards. He looked back at me, his good-looking features filled with some shock and confusion. There was a little blood flowing from the side of his head from where my stilettos heal kicked him. I smiled with satisfaction.
He came at me and I was ready, he swung his fist but I ducked in time to land another punch to his gut. He doubled over just enough so that I took his head and rammed my knee against it. Apparently it wasn't hard enough because he then punched me in the stomach leaving me out of breath. Beaumont then quickly kicked my thigh, knocking me right on my back.
"That's enough Beaumont." Leo said.
He was panting but it really wasn't necessary since their immortal. "The bitch can fight I give her that much." He then looked up at Leo with a confused expression. "What happened to Shannon?"
I moved my head just a bit to see the blond women lying across the meadows on the now soaked grass. Without a head.
"I got tired of her crap. So I finished her off while you two were fighting."
Beaumont looked as if he didn't hear him correctly. "You can't do shit like that, Leo! You just—"
"Yeah I probably messed up some order of things but they'll fix it. They always do." During their talk I had some time to recover from the impact of my fall. "Might as well get rid of you too." Leo walked over toward Beaumont and quickly punched him in the face, knocking him to the ground. I couldn't see what happened next because Leo was in the way, but all I heard was a loud snap and a bored sigh.
Leo moved from the now dead body of Beaumont and looked at me. I probably looked like hell, with my clothes completely soaked, my hair was drenched and there had to be some blood from my scuffle with Beaumont. "Rose, now that you have seen what I can do can you please make this easier for me? I'm over 500 years old and I really think you don't want to mess with me." he held out a hand so he could help me get up. I didn't take it and got up on my own.
"So basically, you want me to willingly give you my blood so you can survive and I can die, right?" I put my hands on my hips.
"Well, when you put it that way…yes." I couldn't believe this guy.
"No chance in hell. Go find yourself a new meal." I started to walk away but he pulled me back by my arm to where my back was to his chest and tilled my head back to him so that I was looking him dead in the eyes.
"Do you have trouble hearing?" Leo's voice was throatier, deeper and darker. What I thought where bright blue eyes before, where now pitch black. There were only two things that I knew could kill a Daywalker, if they try to kill each other in a fight or fire. Fire. 'Wow, I feel so stupid right now.'"Well, I think you'll be the one having trouble hearing." I felt a strong power surge through me and into my hands. I lifted my fiery hands right to the sides of his face. He screamed in pain, letting me go and holding the sides of his face where I burned him.
Leo looked at me again with shock and surprise over his face. "How did you do that?" his voice was now barely audible.
"Oh, you didn't really know who I was. You just thought you were taking another human."
"I did." He removed his hands and the burns were almost halfway healed already. "But this makes it even better."
'Great, add fuel to the fire, why don't you Rose?'
Leo came toward me so fast; all I saw was a blur. I also didn't notice the fist that came flying at my face. I was knocked down to the ground with searing pain in my skull and behind my eyes. Everything was blurry just for a few minutes before I got back up and looked him dead in his black eyes. The rain didn't even bother me anymore. I ran straight to him and landed an uppercut right underneath his chin.
He staggered backwards but recovered quick enough to land a punch to my gut. The air was knocked out of me as I coughed hard. I tried to shake it off but he came back and got in another punch to my temple. I fell backwards on my back again. It hurt to breathe. Leo jumped on me and hit my face multiple times. I felt something warm running down the side of my face. Probably blood.
Leo was sitting on top of my body and took my right arm at some point and shattered it. The only way I could tell it was screwed up was that I couldn't feel or move it anymore. My shoulder was most likely broken in more than one spot along with my whole arm. Everything was blurry, where all I could see where black and dark purple shape flying across my eyesight. I felt pathetic. It was like all the fighting I learned at St. Vladimir's was erased from my memory. But I didn't want to die like this; I wasn't going to die by some random Daywalker that decided to take me out to eat and then decide to eat me.
I felt that same surge of power run through my only working arm and bright orange flames engulfed my hand. I brought I straight to Leo's ugly ass face, where his mouth was wide open, fangs bared and pushed my hand in his mouth, letting the flames burn him from the inside out. He immediately got off of me, screaming bloody murder and was swaying side to side, hoping to put out the flames that were burning him from inside his body. I could barely see anything else around me. I couldn't even feel my face or my arm.
All I could really feel was the rain washing off whatever blood was on my face and me, slowly drifting into unconsciousness.
