Ch. 3. Vampires

Am I dead? No, death wouldn't be this dark.

"Any moment now…" a voice says close to me.

In that exact second, everything flashes back to me; including Sarah's terror-struck face. I open my eyes, and there are the god-figures from earlier. I jump, and with a speed I never thought imaginable, I was across the room, my back to the wall. I blinked, and took in a deep breath, but it's no relief, it's like my lungs don't need it. My eyes scan the room, but I'm quickly sidetracked by the dust particles. What is going on? Every single sense I have is on overdrive. I can only attribute it to adrenalin. But wait; if my heart stopped beating, how am I here? How am I still alive? My eyes fall back on the god from before. I find myself baring my teeth like a dog.

The god chuckles. "My dear, my dear." He chuckles again.

I can feel a snarl in my throat, but I refuse to let it loose; it seems so childish. "What have you done to me?" I snap, talking quicker than I ever have in my life. I can't help but realize how fuzzy my memory is again. It just puts me all the more on edge.

"I've made you immortal." The god almost seemed pleased with himself.

I scoffed. "Excuse me? Immortal?" I shook my head. "That's impossible."

"No, my dear, it is not. Nothing is impossible." The god chuckled.

"Who, and what, are you?" I took a step closer, and then I felt an excruciating pain rack through my body. It was as if I was being stabbed by hundreds of knives all at once, knives that had an electrical current to them. I screamed a loud piercing, glass shattering, scream. Then, as quick as it came, it was over. I quickly got back up to my feet, and had my back against the wall. I searched for what had caused the pain, and then found someone grinning at me. It is a girl who is very tiny with lank, pale brown hair trimmed short. She is rather slim and androgynous figure with a face too pretty for a boy. I faintly remember seeing her glaring at me when this god had started talking to me. I felt a snarl in my throat as I looked at her, and this time, I didn't stop it. I found myself crouching and I was about ready to pounce on her and tear her pretty hair out of her pretty head, when the god cleared his voice.

"We are Vampires." The god chuckled.

Well I wasn't expecting that. I stand up straight and look at him. "Excuse me? Vampires?" and for the first time, I find myself laughing. I'm surprised at the
sound of my laughter, now it's more like bells then the laugh I
remember. "Vampires don't exist."

The girl I'd snarled at earlier spoke. "Actually, they do. And now you're one of us."
I glared at her, and felt a second snarl build in my throat. "I didn't ask you." I snapped at her.

The god chuckled again. My eyes found the other two gods. The one still looked bored; the other looked more interested in a potential fight. My eyes moved back to the original, kind god who was chuckling like this was some big joke. "My dear Elanor, please, relax."

I glared at him. "Tell me what is going on. Now." My voice held more authority then I ever felt, especially right now.

That's when the pain started again. I was on the ground in three seconds, twitching. This time, however, I refused to scream. I even begged my body to keep still. I stood up, after the pain was over, but instead of just standing I was over next to the girl. I pinned her against the wall and snarled, baring my teeth like a dog almost. "Do it again. I dare you."

And then I dropped her as I fell to the ground again.
