Chapter 7

There was no escape. Trying not to panic, Brianna backed away from the approaching Dorian. If he catches me… Brianna had found out what he did to his enemies. Torture. I could stand it, Brianna decided, but only if I knew he wouldn't find out about the other Daybreakers. If only we weren't soulmates…But they were. And whenever they touched he was able to she all her memories. Find out about all the safe houses and discover were all Daybreakers she knew were. And then he'd kill them all.

Finding herself backed against the wall, Brianna felt her chances of escaping slipping away. But I can't let him get the others…I can't. She would have to stop him. But how?

'You've been here less than a day,' Dorian's tone seemed light hearted and amused but there was a slight madness in his smile. 'And you're already trying to escape. Now that doesn't say much for my hospitality, does it?'

His hollow laugh echoed around the hall and Brianna flinched. Dorian was more reckless than before, more dangerous. He wasn't himself…he was much worse. He won't stop until he's got me, Brianna realised. No matter what it takes.

'It doesn't have to be like this,' As Dorian spoke he stepped even closer to Brianna, so they were barely inches apart. 'Please. Don't fight.'

Dorian lifted his hand to touch her cheek but Brianna turned her head away. She couldn't let him touch her. They'd connect again…And then she wouldn't have a chance.

A look of hurt flashed across Dorian's face. Brianna wanted to tell him she didn't think he was a monster, that deep down he was a good person, but she knew that if she did there was no chance of her ever escaping.

'Dorian,' Brianna's voice shook as she spoke. It was painful to be so close to him, wanting to collapse into his arms but not being able to. 'I won't let you keep me here. You can't make me stay…'

His strange feverish laugh sounded again, chilling Brianna to the bone. Brianna felt all hope of escaping leave her.

'Oh I think you'll find I can,' Dorian swiftly grabbed her arm before she could recoil. Though she was trying to pull away, Dorian pulled her towards him so that their faces were nearly touching. 'I'm stronger than you. I'm more powerful than you. And I am just about can't die. Your chances of escape are non existent.'

But as soon as the words had left his lips, a huge crash sounded as the large metal door collapsed and fell to the floor. A wolf burst through where the door had once stood, and sprang onto Dorian, knocking him to the ground. A cry escaped his lips but soon he and the shape shifter were locked in battle, oblivious to everything else. The pair seemed evenly matched, though Lukas' surprise attack had given him the advantage. Each attacked mercilessly and soon both where scarred and beginning to loose blood.

'Brianna! Come on!' Michael was yelling from the dark shadows of the outside. Ignoring his demands, Brianna ran towards Dorian and Lukas but was pulled backwards by Deya with unusual strength, who had seemed to have come out of no where.

'We have to go,' Deya yelled over the noise of the ongoing alarms. Deya's had managed to pull her out of the factory, and was trying to pull her outside. 'Lukas will be fine.'

The pair ran towards the start of the forest where they found Michael, still clutching the unconscious girl.

'I'm going to go take the girl to the perimeter of the factory before the guards surround us,' Michael's whispered, trying not to draw any attention to them. 'I'll take out any guards who come along but I can probably only hold on for an hour or so. If you haven't got their by then-'

'You'll go.' Deya finished. 'Don't worry, I'll stay here to show Brianna the way. You go ahead and wait for us. We'll be there soon. With Lukas.'

With this agreed, Michael quickly left the two girls, taking with him the still unconscious girl. The minutes passed slowly, and Deya was about to suggest that they start going when a figure came staggering out of the doorway. Deya grabbed Brianna's hand firmly preparing to drag her away once more if it was one of the guards. As the shadowy figure approached them, Brianna pulled her hand away, preparing to run back to the factory again. There's no way that Brianna could leave Lukas behind… But there was also another reason for Brianna preparing to run. One which Brianna was reluctant to admit. I can't let Dorian die…I just can't.

'Did you miss me?' The harsh voice of Lukas was barely recognisable but none of them failed to recognise the sarcastic tone of his voice, and relieve flooded through them all. 'The vampires still in the hall way, I didn't kill him but he's unconscious. He shouldn't be coming after us for a while and-'

But before he could finish, Brianna had flung her arms around him, nearly crying with relief. He wasn't dead. Dorian was alive. Embarrassed, Lukas gingerly patted Brianna on the back, trying to appear casual when Brianna pulled away again. If it had been daytime, it would have been clear that Luke's cheeks had become pink.

'Err…I think we better be going,' Lukas' voice was slightly higher than normal though he was trying to pretend Brianna's display of affection had never happened. 'The guards come be coming any time soon.'

'Yes. I forgot,' Brianna's voice was still weak from relief and her legs were too, from her encounter with Dorian. 'I suppose we should go then…'

Deya and Brianna helped support Lukas as they made their way through the forest, as quickly and as silently as possible. Stumbling through the undergrowth, Brianna expected the guards to find them at any moment. Several times the group were forced to hides amongst the trees to avoid being detected. They're systematically searching through the forest, Brianna realised, they'll be getting to the perimeter any moment now. Forcing the others to speed up, Brianna rushed towards the edge of the forest, knowing that the perimeter couldn't be far away from there. Horrified, she came upon a scene of around five vampires were brutally attacking Michael, who was valiantly trying to stop any of them reaching the girl who lay unconscious behind him.

Haa haa! Cliff hanger!
