The Smell and Color Of Blood

Chapter 10

Laurie and Amy ran down the halls of the asylum as fast as they could. Both were panting hard. Trying not to fall, they took sharp turns this way and that way.

They could sense the vampires come up behind them. Laurie took a glance behind her and saw Kadaj looking more pissed off then usual. She saw his fangs with drool dripping off of them. She knew those fangs wanted to pierce her flesh. "Aaaaahhh!" screamed Laurie at the top of her lungs.

"Run!" she screamed to Amy. Amy took a sharp turn again and flew down the stairs, with Laurie at her side, the vampires at their back.

Amy and Laurie reached the end of the stairs…but it was blocked. it was blocked by the other vampire…Sephiroth. He was leaning against the door waiting for them. "So girls, you'd think you'd both escape me?" he asked stroking Amy's cheeks. She recoiled in fear. "Get the fuck off me you sicko," she said.

Sephiroth was not taken aback by this. Laurie was about to turn and run to the end of the hall where another exit was, but Kadaj had grabbed her. Amy saw this and ran to help her friend, if it hadn't been for Sephiroth who grabbed her.

The vampires started to drag the poor girls out the door, but it was chained from the outside. Of course the asylum didn't want their patients escaping, so they either guarded, locked, or out bars on all the doors and windows.

"Damn it," said Loz as he tried over and over again to get the door to budge. No use. "Fine, we'll go the way these girls came," said Yazoo. They climbed the stairs towards the front entrance.

"What if they don't let us pass?" asked Loz. "You fucking idiot," said Kadaj. "That's why we have these 2," said Kadaj nuzzling Laurie on her head. "Enough talking. We have company," said Sephiroth.

All 4 vampires, Laurie, and Amy ducked into a room that just happened to be unlocked. Thankfully, it was a room that wasn't being used. Laurie and Amy both had their mouths covered to prevent them from screaming.

Laurie looked over at Amy. She looked absolutely petrified. Sephiroth was busy looking out to make sure the hall was clear.

When it was, both girls had been pushed out, followed by the vampires. Finally they got to the front door.

Blood was seeping out from the bodies that the vampires had slayed earlier. There was no one around. No police. No doctors. No nurses. No orderlies. That was good. No one else was around to get killed by these monsters. They pushed the girls out the doors and into the pouring rain, where a black car was waiting I the distance.

"Amy," whispered Laurie. Amy looked over at Laurie. "On the count of 3, we run," she said in a whisper. Amy nodded her head slightly. Laurie looked over her head at the SHM.

Vampires had great hearing, so she wanted to make sure they didn't hear her. Sephiroth, Yazoo, and Loz were keeping their eyes on the surrounding area while walking over to their car, while Kadaj would not take those eyes of his off Laurie. I'm REALLY starting not to like him, thought Laurie. "1, 2, 3!" she yelled.

Both girls took off in different directions. Laurie ran into the woods, while Amy headed to the street. Sephiroth and Kadaj cursed again while running after Laurie. (I never get tired of writing chasing scenes)

Yazoo and Loz took off after Amy. She was easy to catch. Soon she was knocked out and thrown into a backseat of the black car. Loz and Yazoo got in the back seat.

Laurie on the other hand was being chased by the 2 hottest vampires you could imagine. She jumped over tree roots and rocks. Branches reached out and scratched her face leaving blood marks. the water that collected on the leaves was no all on Laurie's clothes, making them wet and heavy. That's not helping! Vampires can sense and smell blood. Plus I know they are really fast, her mind said. "Can this day get any worse?" she panted out.

Laurie came to a stop near a hill that had a step side. "Shit! It just got worse," she said. Laurie turned around , but she saw Kadaj and Sephiroth appear behind her. Laurie took a step back closer to the edge. "Don't do it," said Kadaj while he reached for her. She slapped his hand away. "You'll never touch me again," she said as she jumped off the hill.
