Chapter 7

~No Longer a Shadow

I opened my eyes to find nothing but total darkness. As I took a breath of air my lungs burned as if poison was filling my lungs instead of air. I'm dead.I must be. There was a light that came from a door in the endless black room. Light cast down on the floor as if guiding me towards its source.

I'm going to heaven. Then a figure appeared in the doorway and a faint sound of chuckling reached its way to my ears. Dark hair, pale skin, and.black eyes?! "Welcome to heaven." Aubrey said sarcastically.

Suddenly the whole room lit up, quite to my displeasure. It felt as if it were the first time I opened my eyes. Senses I never had before picked up and looking around the neat room, I noticed that everything had a certain air about it that just screamed AUBREY'S PROPERTY.

My eyes traveled back to Aubrey, noticing he had been watching me the whole time. " What have you turned me into?" ok yes, I am not stupid, I know what I've been turned into. But I wanted him to say it.maybe then I can start believing.

He walked over to where I stood and started circling me, looking at me up and down as if surveying. " You want to know?" he grinned at me and leaned closer. " Your dead." He whispered. Aubrey enjoyed watching me struggle with the truth.

" You.killed me." Memories of my change flashed. He smirked, as if recalling my death as well.

" I must say your blood was well anticipated, which seemed to make it even better when I drained it from you." I turned and went through the door without saying a word to him. My anger was raging, and although I felt a faint wave of nausea, which must have been blood-lust, I felt my power surge.

I turned the corner, running down a flight of stairs, my mind going 90 miles per hour. I opened what I supposed was an exiting door and found myself in a packed room, red lights flashing, music blaring in my ears. My senses went wild, I could hear the beating of the crowds heart's in my ears lacing with the screeching music. I had to get out of here.

I pushed my way through the crowd to the best of my ability, using all my energy to control myself from reaching out and biting one of them. The blood intoxinated with adrenalin seemed to seep into my mouth, pour their beat into my ears, and pull on my brain causing it hard to think or move. Finally I broke free of the dance floor, but as I rushed in victory for the door I felt myself crash into something.

Or rather, someone. " Watch where you're go- well if it our little margarita girl." The vampiress I had knocked into said, venom coating her words. She smiled, fangs in full sight, eyes glinting with malice. " Hungry?" I screamed as I felt her knife dig deep into my side and my knees hit the ground. She laughed, barely audible over the music, but non the less it seemed to cut into my ears.

My thoughts were muddled with pain and rage, my blood-lust soaring along with dead heart. I took the knife out of my side and from my crouched position on the floor launched myself at her, knocking her to the ground. Her eyes shown fear in their black depths, transfixed on the knife I held above her heart. It was my turn to laugh. " Oh, I'm very hungry." With that I bit down on her neck. I could feel my jaws breaking her wind pipe and then the sweat flow of blood and energy.

She shrieked and struggled under me, but nothing anyone could do could tear me away from her. Life flowed into me, sweet and bitter, the crimson liquid I craved. I drained her of her eternal curse, her pathetic power, until nothing was left.

I released her from my grasp stood, not caring of my audience. I looked to the doorway I had left and found Aubrey leaning against it with an odd look on his face. He looked me in the eyes, and I could not tell what he was thinking, his aura was hidden, his thoughts masked, his eyes told me nothing, locking up a secret.

I gave him one of the all-knowing-smirks and left. No one would rule my life, and if he thought I'd just come running to his arms and be his little pet, he was very wrong. I left my memory, I left my regrets and pains, I left my humanity, I left Aubrey, and left what I later learned as Fala's corpse. I left everything behind and head for the woods.

'I will cease to be a shadow, I will gain another life, I will continue my music, I will leave everything behind. Rather than accept my fate I will make my own, and I will have my revenge Aubrey.I will have my revenge.another day.'

The End

A/N alright folks, that's it. I might have made a sequal to this, but I already have one story posted on ficpress about a vamp wanting revenge on her maker. Plus this story was getting too much like Beware your Nightmares. Hope you all enjoyed that. Maybe I'll make an Epilogue, maybe not, am rather lazy. Well review! ~Pothe
