Chapter 19

'Hello?' I whispered in the dark 'Is anyone here?'

I tried to look around but I couldn't see anything, everything was just black.

From behind me I heard the sound of vamp speed, but, when I tried to turn around I was held in place from my jaw.

'Just keep quiet' Eric's voice spoke, but it didn't sound like a warning. He smiled it, and as I started to wonder what was going on a hand moved round and began to knead my breast. I stiffened and tried to struggle.

'Eric, stop...' I said 'Eric!'

But the voice changed as it spoke the next words. It moved between Eric's voice and a woman's who seemed so familiar. As it spoke these words, I realised with the worst terror in my life who it was speaking.

'Everything's gonna be alright, little sacrifice' quietly in the back ground I heard louder and louder that chant;

'Lo Lo Bromios, Lo Lo Dendrites, Eleutherios, Enorches, Bacchus'

Over and over in my head, but I was more worried about the woman. Slowly a dim light twitched on, blinking from over-use – but I wished that light had never of come on.

On the floor was blood, slowly creating a pool around Eric's body. I looked down at his open eyes and began to breathe heavier, not believing what I was seeing. I screamed, tears streaming from my eyes at the massive gash across his chest. It was her; she had killed Eric and eaten his heart – just like the girl from before.

I broke into sobs, shaking my head and pushing backward on the floor with my feet, suddenly finding standing the most difficult thing in the world.

'No, no, no' I said while I shook, with my whole body, but the woman behind me tightened her hand on my jaw. This sent me into sudden stiffening – I couldn't even move anymore.

I just stood and shook, the tears drenching my clothes and face. The woman put her head right up to my neck and licked it, and suddenly I was twitching too.

'Don't worry; you can join him soon too.' She smiled.

Her hand slowly grew to the three fingered claw I had seen earlier, and it send fear to my very soul – and yet, I still couldn't bring myself to look from Eric.

'Eric' I whispered, the sob stealing my breath. Her hand raised from my jaw, releasing my head – but I still didn't move.

'Eric!' I shouted, and like that her hand hit my face and everything went black again.

And then I woke up.
