A/N: Yay!! Finally another update!! I am sorry to not have had this up here earlier, but the only computer in my house pooped out and went crazy on me. So, now it is back to normal, and so will my updates soon get back on track. Be sure to check out Someday. Here's the next chapter, and I apologize for it being so short. The next update will be longer, I promise.
"Your transformation is coming along nicely." He said, and began to come towards me. I suddenly lunged towards him, in an effort to free myself and attack him, but it was no use. The metal that he had used for the chains was a special kind. I had known that from the start. A special kind designed to hold vampires.
"Father, tell me it is not true." Xaria asked me from across the room. Adina had the same look written across her face. I looked at each of them and lowered my head.
"It is true." I barely whispered. I wished that I could explain myself to her, but I knew in that moment that I would never be forgiven for what I had done to her. Jaeger let that hideous, sinister smile creep across his face again.
"You are condemned to hell now, you realize this, yes?" he asked me. I nodded miserably. He stared at me for a moment longer, then turned to face my wife. Desdemona shoved her in his direction, and he caught her before she had a chance to fall. He grabbed her throat and turned to where they were both facing me.
"You are the greatest warrior in all of the land, Khalon. It is nice to know that you are on the side of the vampires." Jaeger said before bearing my wife's throat to himself. "I shall enjoy this drink much more than any others." He announced. He sank his teeth deep into her flesh and began to drink her dry. My blood began to boil, and I began to scream and struggle against the chains that hold me.
"You liar!! You promised me they would be spared!!" I screamed at him. Jaeger merely smiles and drops my dead wife's body to the ground. Xaria screamed. Desdemona struck her across the face. Rage began to consume me.
"Why did you trust a vampire Khalon?" Jaeger asked me, walking over to my daughter yet again.
"We made a deal, Jaeger!! You promised me!!!" I screamed at him, trying desperately to get free of the chains that bound me.
"It was the only way to get both of you to help our cause, Khalon. Think of it as……a business arrangement." Xaria tried to cower away from him as he only came closer to her. It suddenly becomes hard for me to breathe. My whole body begins to shake and I can almost feel my humanity slipping away. My canines grow longer and my eyes dilate. An inhuman growl escapes my lips, then everything stops for a moment. I can see things now with more clarity than ever before. I turned to Jaeger.
"Don't touch her." I warned him, shocked at the deep and commanding tone in my voice now. Jaeger laughed while Xaria stared at me in horror.
"Khalon, there is nothing that you can do to stop me. I will take Xaria for my bride, and then, finally, we will be ready to hunt." Jaeger informed me. He turned to Xaria. "This will only hurt for a moment, darling." He whispered, knowing damn well that I could hear what he said. He moved her dark hair away from her neck.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" I screamed as he took a bite out of her neck, my voice echoing through the cavern that we were in. I looked on in horror as he drank her blood until she was nearly dead, then he opened his own veins and ordered her to drink. I closed my eyes and turned away, defeated. I could only listen as Jaeger made love to his bride.
My daughter.
I listened as her own humanity slowly slipped away from her with every moan of delight coming from her lips.
"Chris!" Amy yelled. I shot up in bed breathing heavily again. Amy was standing next to me, fully dressed, looking concerned.
"What?" I asked. Physically, I felt better than I had in a few years, but mentally, I was suffering.
"Are you all right? It's time to get up." She said. I nodded.
"I'm fine, it was just a…a bad dream." I said. "I have to see Vince before we leave, too. I'm the new head of the creative team." Amy smiled.
"Well, hurry up, he's about to leave himself." I throw the rest of the covers off of the bed and reveal that I am still dressed from last night. She gives me a look, and then goes to the bathroom to collect her things.
I pull on my shoes and stretch out. I spy the trench coat that I stole from the man last night still draped over the only chair in the room. I'm actually surprised that Amy didn't ask me about it. I go over and begin to check the pockets to find a few bucks and a picture.
It is a picture of a valley somewhere with the man I saw last night, looking much younger sitting in the grass next to a woman. The woman next to him is pregnant and smiling. I sigh and stuff the picture back in the coat.
Another man haunted by his past and trying to find a new future. I am immortal, and I still haven't found my new future………
I don't have much hope for this guy.
