Katy took a deep breath clenching her fists tightly, forcing the shivers that danced across her body. She took a deep breath and slowly opened her eyes, which were now a bright red. An overwhelming feeling washed over her, stronger than any pain, stronger than any desire.. It was… she didn't know what it was.
She looked up just as Blade entered the room and slowly pushed herself up from the bed, backing away and putting her back to the wall. Images shot through her head, sounds.. Words. The thirst… always wins. Her eyes widened as she looked into his sunglasses that hid his dark eyes. Her breath was rapid, but her body was languid. She could hear heartbeats, breathing sounds, and almost everything around her.
She backed away just a bit more as he stepped forward. "Who are you?" She asked fear obvious in her voice.
"I could ask the same question. Or better yet, what are you?" She could feel his stare and it was hard, dangerous, but yet almost familiar in a way.
"I-…" She paused. "I don't know anymore. These things keep happening! I can't explain it!" She cried. The heartbeats in her head grew louder and louder, throbbing through her head like someone was taking a sludge hammer to her forehead. Painful images, painful sounds. She fell to her knees and looked up as Blade stepped forward, his shadow overpowering her.
She blinked, her eyes going in and out of focus before it all went black. The thirst always wins. Always wins… The war never ends, always wins. Never ends. She screamed and opened her eyes again. She was on her feet again, panting and Blade was right in front of her, scratches on his face. His eyes were closed and his head slightly tilted.
She backed away. "Always wins…"
Blade looked to her, not knowing what truly happened at first.. But then… "Always wins." His eyes shot forward. No fucking way. He raced towards her and grabbed her collar, pulling her closer looking into her eyes. "WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?" He screamed.
"Blade!" Abby yelled. "..You're scaring the hell out of her."
He threw her to the ground and backed away as Abby and King came running up beside him. King cocked a brow, looking to his cheek as it healed and then back down to Katy, who seemed terrified. Her eyes were still that bright red. "Well…" He said, crossing his arms over his chest. "What did you find out.. Or.. Could you find out anything with your subtle way of approach?"
Blade looked over. "She's of Vlad's kin." He turned around and walked out with a stunned Abby and King left behind.
"What the fuck?" King looked back down to Katy, up to Blade. "But I thought… He was -- She is… Fuck me sideways."
Abby looked down to Katy, stroking her head. "Hey.." She said, sitting in front of her to look into her eyes. "It's okay."
"N-no its not. H-he's going to try to kill me. I know it.. I can just.. Just feel it.." She put her hand to her stomach and closed her eyes, feeling that tingle on the inside of her cheeks and the rumble in her stomach. "I- I can't.. breath.."
"He won't hurt you." Abby looked back up to where Blade and King had left the two alone. "He only wanted to find out who you were."
"I don't even know." She said. "These dreams.. These.. Feelings. These visions. Why can't they just all go away?"
"I don't know." Abby answered truthfully.
Katy looked up into Abby's eyes. "…Why is it that I feel like I know all of you? That.. Man… He frightens me; and I just can't shake it. I've been here before. In this place, near you… Near him… I've fought him and I don't remember! Why!"
"I don't know." Abby answered again.
"Please… just kill me." Katy cried. "Please!"
Abby wrapped her arms around the crying girl; holding her tight. Blade had scared her shitless, but why..? He just went in there to talk to her, but she knew how he "talked" to people. But there had to be another reason. Was she really of Vlad's kin? Only one way to find out.
Sorry it took so long.. I hope it doesn't suck.
