CHAPTER TWO

TORTURE

DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN THESE CHARACTERS THAT MY LIFE REVOLVES AROUND. AW, DAMN.

I stood stock still as the three pairs of glowing red eyes drew closer and closer. I could somewhat see distinct shapes in between the trees. Then, three figures stepped silently through the shadowy woods and I felt my jaw fell open in amazement.

They were the three most beautiful people I have ever seen. There were two males and a female and although they were dressed casually in jeans and buttoned up shirts, their beauty was still breathtaking. Their skin was the palest shade of white and it contrasted strangely with their eyes. And that was another thing, their eyes. It was a dark red hue that glowed in the darkening woods.

They finally stopped about twenty feet away from me. None of them said anything and the silence was unnerving me. But I couldn't do anything either. All I was capable of was to gape at them with wonder.

"Victoria, she's a pretty one." One of the males spoke, his voice nonchalant. "But she doesn't really have a smell."

What the heck was he talking about? Smell? It was all very confusing. But I still couldn't move a muscle.

"You can have her, Victoria." The man said again, looking at the woman.

Victoria curled her lip back over her teeth in a grin. I shuddered. Her sharp teeth had glimmered brightly and they'd looked dangerous.

"Why can't I have her?" The other man, whose skin had an olive tint to it, spoke in a slight French accent.

"Because I said so," the first man said, his tone still casual but with a hint of annoyance coloring it. "After all, she didn't really feed in Seattle and I think she deserve this girl.

And in any case, it's been a long time since the last time I saw Victoria's little performances. I think I would like to see one now."

All three of them laughed, the sound like tinkling glass. It sent a chill sliding up and down my spine. The sound echoed across the vacant trees and it sent the earlier fear fluttering in my stomach.

"Ah, I totally forgot about Victoria's little tendency to play with her food.

I think that it would be quite entertaining to see her torture this pretty one. I rather want to taste her blood though." He chuckled, the sound menacing to my ears.

I was getting seriously freaked out by now. Blood? This did not sound good. Not good at all.

And then suddenly, three things seem to happen simultaneously. A little breeze rustled through my hair, making it flutter softly around my shoulders. At the same time, it blew my scent toward the figures and all three of them slipped into a cat like stance.

But the thing that caught my attention was their eyes. The irises had turned dark black. It was the most terrifying thing I've seen yet.

Seeing their changing eyes, I took a step backward, wanting to get away from them. I wasn't just panicked anymore. I was outright terrified and not knowing who or what these people were, made it that much scarier.

I did not see Victoria leap at me. She had moved too fast for me to even see a blur. One minute she was there, the next she was on top of me.

The impact of her hitting me sent me flying backward into a tree. I landed with a crash and slid down the trunk of the tree. I heard myself cry out in pain as I felt the force of the collision. I felt my back screamed with pain.

I heard the two men laughed gleefully to see me sprawled out beneath the tree in such a pitiful position. Then, I saw Victoria stand over me. Her eyes were a pitch black now and it looked wild. I saw her flame bright hair flutter in the wind. I wondered why I hadn't notice the brightness of it before.

Her foot came out of nowhere and kicked me viciously in the ribs. The force of it picked me off the ground and made me fly into another tree. I let out another shriek as something in my leg broke. I also felt the fingers of my right hand crack as I landed hard on them.

I whimpered, feeling my injuries throb with each beat of my heart. A wet sensation began trickling down my leg. I looked down and let out a moan. Blood was streaming out of the break in my leg. The bone had actually poked through the skin of my leg.

I felt my stomach lurch and black dots appeared in my vision. This was not good. I hated the smell of blood and the sight of it. The pain didn't help either.

I closed my eyes, trying not to look at my damaged leg. I wanted so bad to just slip into unconsciousness. To just get away from this horrifying scene. Maybe this was all just a dream and the three people in the woods were just a figment of my imagination. But the throbbing pains in my body proved that this was not a dream and that this was truly happening to me.

I opened my eyes when I heard a snarling sound. Victoria was crouching over me, her lips pulled over her teeth in a fierce snarl. Her eyes, if it was even possible, were blacker than before. The sight of her terrifying expression made me recoil. I let out a little yelp when my bleeding leg gave a twinge.

Victoria was still crouching over me, her expression still terrifyingly predatory. Then she lunged and grabbed my hair. She forced my head back, exposing my throat. She based her teeth even further and the razor sharp edges glinted dangerously. And I knew, with a doubt, what she was going to do.

She sank her sharp teeth into the flesh on the side of my throat. Her teeth sliced through my skin without any difficulty, like a knife through butter.

I screamed out in agony when her teeth had entered my skin. I felt the pull of her teeth as she sucked at my blood. The sensation was the most painful thing I've ever experienced. The draw of the blood dragging through my veins was scraping against my insides and I felt like it was burning me alive.

My vision began to fade as each second ticked by. Out of the corner of my eyes, I saw the two males thirty feet away, just watching.

Victoria was suddenly knocked off of me by a tremendous force. Her teeth ripped from my throat, leaving the wound ragged and bleeding copiously. Black dots were appearing across my vision, but I could still see the sight in front of me.

A large animal, it looked like a huge bear, had attacked Victoria. I stared in stupefaction at the creature. It looked like a bear, but I was positive that a bear did not grow to such proportions. This creature was abnormally large and it had the features of a wolf.

I saw two other creatures were fighting with the two other people with Victoria. The huge animals were leaping and flying through the air to bite and snap at them. I knew that with the strength and weight of the creatures, these people should be crushed and injured badly. But I couldn't see any sign of blood or anything.

An ear splitting screech rang across the clearing. I looked back to Victoria and my fading visions seem to focus for one split second. I saw the large creature wrapped its teeth around one of Victoria's arm and tore it from her shoulder.

Victoria let out a shocked hiss when the animal bit her arm off. It tore with a grating screech that hurt my ears. The thing that really made me wonder what Victoria really was, was that, there was no blood or anything. It seemed she was made up of stone and granite, instead of blood and flesh.

The large wolf like creature started to tear at every part of Victoria that he could reach. But it seemed like Victoria was dancing, too fast for the beast to get to her. She was moving so quickly that it was just a blur in the air. My eyes couldn't really follow what was going on.

Then, a deafening roar ripped through the forest and I turned my head fractionally to see that one of the wolves had been thrown across the clearing into one of the trees. I noticed that blood was streaming out of a deep wound in its right shoulder. I saw the first male, with blood glistening on his face and a triumphantly look in his pitch black eyes. He began to turn his attention to me and the hungry expression in them was frightening.

He lunged at me, just like Victoria had, and sank his teeth into my throat again. This time, I felt the pain intensify as he sucked. I felt myself slipping away one more time. The black waters of my mind began to enclose around me and I welcomed it.

Suddenly, an agonizing jolt of fire rushed through my veins and pulled me violently from my peaceful retreat. It felt like my skin was in flames and I writhed helplessly on the ground. I wanted to die; this pain was too much for me.

But even through the pain, I noticed that I wasn't being attacked anymore. The large creatures had seemed doubled and now, they were battling Victoria and the two males. I didn't want to see the spectacle anymore.

I closed my eyes again, trying, forcing myself to slip into the haven that was my mind. But the pain still continued to run its course through my veins, burning and making me scream with pain. This was too much for me. I didn't know what was going on and this was just too much. I didn't even care what will happen to me. All I wanted was too die and escape from the agony that was torturing me to the point of insanity
