Cornelia's POV:
My wrists were bleeding. The chains around them had rubbed them raw. "Please. Let me go."
I whispered, looking up. I was hanging by my wrists, with my back on the wall. I was in a dark
room, but I could still see clearly who was in front of me. I walked up to me. A smile crept
across his pale face. He pushed his long, sandy blond hair out of his eyes and looked down at
me. "Oh, pathetic little girl, why in the world would I do that?" I glared up at him, my blue eyes
beginning to water. I felt the warm, salt water slide down the sides of my face. "You're sick,
and evil. Now let me go RIGHT NOW!" The ground around us began to shake. I pulled on
the chains, but they dug even deeper into my flesh. I let out a gasp, but I kept pulling. I had to
get back. I had to stop Caleb from leaving me. I pulled, and shook the rattling chains, the
ground still swaying fiercely. He fell down, and looked at me with a sour look on his face. I
couldn't help but laugh. I laughed as I pulled, I smiled as my blood dripped, landing on his
face. I watched as a drop slid down his face, first landing on his forehead, then sliding between
his eyes and over his nose. It came close to his lips. "Thank you." He smiled, showing large,
white fangs. "Y-you're a v-vampire?" He just kept smiling, even when my blood entered his
mouth. He licked his lips and laughed. The ground stopped shaking. I watched in horror as he
stood up and walked over to me. He placed a cold hand on my cheek, and whispered, "Which
hurts more?" He twisted my head to the side, exposing my bare neck. I tried to scream, but I
couldn't. I felt his teeth sink into my skin, his fangs going in deeper, and deeper. I winced, tears
flowing out once more. "S-stop, I won't become what you are." He seemed to smile, yet he
just bit deeper. Finally his long fangs left my neck. Blood poured out of my wound, and he
licked my neck, lapping up all of the liquid that happened to flow his way. I began to feel dizzy.
Everything was getting darker. But he lifted my chin, bringing me back. "No, Cornelia. You
can't die just yet. Let me ask you one more question: What hurts more? My teeth in your neck,
your humanity become a mere memory? Or this?" He pulled my face toward his, while his
now, red eyes closed. My heart screamed. What is he DOING? I tried it pull away but he had
me against the wall now. His body was placed on my own, my back was crushed by his body
and the wall behind me. "NO!" I screamed, hoping it'd throw him off. He just came closer until
there was just about half an inch between us. He spoke, his eyes still closed, "My little
princess, you're all mine now." My eyes watched in horror again, as he placed his hard lips on
mine. He kissed my harder and harder that my own lips began to feel numb. Finally after what
seemed like a lifetime, his cold lips disappeared. I was left, hanging there, my lips burning,
covered in my own blood. My heart, screaming, telling me to escape, to get back home and
find Caleb. But I couldn't hear it, I just couldn't. All I could think about… was blood.
Caleb's POV:
I stood by Cornelia's bed, I watched her every move. Well, I would have, if she moved. But
she didn't. She didn't make any sounds. Her chest barley rose at all. The girls had decided to
take a walk outside, to get their minds out of this 'horror movie', or so they call it. Tragedy.
But it's not. We're not characters, just acting the part. We don't just pretend to die, or get
hurt, we can, and we will. One by one… unless we can save Cornelia. The world would end if
anything happened to her. I need her, the team needs her, her family, friends, the world needs
her. Cornelia is a goddess, a golden goddess that watches our daily lives, heals us in battle,
protects us against evil. She's mother nature. She's Cornelia.
Cornelia's POV:
I felt my body becoming… cold. My heart was slowing. Slowing… my vision became cloudy
and fuzzy, soon out of focus. Then I was totally blind. I tried playing with the locks again, but
nothing was working. I just hung there, my eyes wide open but sightless. I began to cry. If I
was dying, everything would be ruined. Caleb would go back to Meridian, probably get a new
girlfriend, or something. My team mates would be lost, I mean, Will's a great leader and all,
but they're nothing without earth. I scraped, and scratched my finger nails against the cold wall
behind me. I couldn't see, but I just knew I had ruined my nails too. I began to cough, and
wheeze. Blood dripped out of the sides of my mouth. I couldn't see it, but I felt the blood
sliding out, I smelt it. It was warm, yet it made me restless. I began to scream, my voice
piercing like a banshee's. "GET BACK HERE AND FIX ME YOU IDIOT! LOOK WHAT
YOU'RE DOING TO ME! I DYING!" I shouted, my voice echoing down deep, dark
caverns. Dying, dying… I can't really be dying. I just can't… they need me… "GET
BACK HERE BEFORE I KILL MYSELF!" I screamed, my voice traveling. A deep laugh
bellowed from inside of the caves. "You foolish girl! You will not kill yourself. You can't. I will
make you stay here, chained to that wall, unless you cooperate. Or, I'll kill your little friends
right in front of you, and your little rebel… and force you to eat their remains…" His laugh
crept inside of my head, and crawled underneath my skin. "Nooooo!" I shouted in return.
"Then you will remain here, just until it's time to use you." I let my head hang. I took a deep
breath, it felt like my life was slowly draining away. I took in the air carefully, I had to make
sure that I had enough to live, or at least try to live. I had to get out of there. I raised my head,
my head full of new escape plans, only to find myself face to face with him. His red eyes
glowing brightly, like a new fire, his pale face slightly pink from my blood. He smiled, showing
me his fangs again. I gasped and he muffled my scream with another hard kiss. I pushed him
away by biting his bottom lip. His blood was in my mouth. But I couldn't help swallow it. It
was wasn't like real blood though. It was more like fake blood. It was tasteless, it was cold. It
wasn't alive. He wasn't alive. I was going to die soon, too. And I'll just be another one of his
pawns. He owns me now, there's no chance of escape. Soon, I'll be dead, and my family,
friends, Caleb, they won't know me anymore.
Caleb's POV:
I walked back and forth in the hospital room. "Cornelia's heart was slowing down", the nurse
said. She was dying, but I couldn't let that happen! I love Cornelia, I won't ever leave her!
Never… even if she dies, I won't let her die alone… Suddenly, Cornelia began to cough and
shake. Blood dripped out of her mouth, and downher body, staining her white hospital dress.
I ran over to her and stood bewildered by her bed. "Help! I don't know what'shappening!" I
shouted, now that I was the only one in the room. Yan Lin had left earlier, she had said that her
old heart couldn't take much more of this. I pressed a red button that rested next to her bed.
Foot steps clicked from outside the room, as nurses rushed in. Cornelia began to scream, her
eyes closed, her heart slowing down. "What's happening?" I screamed out, trying to keep
Cornelia's shaking body from falling off the bed. The nurses stood there for a moment, then
looked at Cornelia. One rushed to her side and gave her needle. For a second we all stood
there, Cornelia stopped shaking and screaming. One nurse let out a small gasp. But then
Cornelia started to talk. She said, "You can't keep me here forever, you know. I'll find away
to escape, I'll leave you here, alone and tormented by all you have destroyed. You may not
die, but you'll rot, the memories of those you've hurt, killing you from the inside. You'll bleed
what's left of you, until there's nothing left, but a empty shell. The shell of a devil." Her voice
was soft and slow, but cold and filled with anger and darkness. "Cornelia?" I whispered. Her
face was pale and her cheeks had drained it's rosy pink color. Her eyes were still shut, but she
had them closed in a way that looked like she was trying to open them so badly, but she
couldn't. She looked like she was trapped inside her body, with no way out. She was lost
inside of her beauty, she was captured by her own soul. "Cornelia? What did you say?" I
grabbed her in my arms. She just stayed in my arms, while the nurses pulled me away, yelling,
shouting, "Sir! You can't hold her like that! You'll damage her even more!" I listened. I laid her
back down, carefully. I loved her, I couldn't have her even more broken than she already was.
Cornelia's POV:
I stared into his blood red eyes. The were filled with death and terror. Horrible nightmares
must had filled the lives of those around him. He smiled at my lovingly and then showed his
fangs and hissed. His blond hair hung long behind him, as he lifted his head and screamed. It
was very falsetto, high pitched like a woman's. But then it hollowed into a cry. He fell to the
ground in front of my chained body. I watched him lie on the cold floor. "So… hungry…" He
whispered. I looked down at him, raising an eyebrow. He turned his body and showed me a
key. "I'll set you free… you'll have to learn to fly on your own, though. But you can do it…
that's why I chose you. I knew I could control someone on Earth, but someone too close to
you wouldn't do. So I picked that boy the red-headed girl is fond of. I made him hit you. I
made it all happen." I gasped, know that I learned all of this happened because of him. But it
was sorta obvious. He lifted himself up, as well as he could. He unlocked the chains. I fell, limp
to the ground, into his arms. He was so cold, yet the darkness in him burned like fire. I backed
away from him. He stole me, kidnapped me. I glared at his pathetic face. He turned and
looked into my eyes, his eyes washed out and faded. He slowly opened his mouth, "Fly to the
castle, Cornelia. Get the Princess. Bring her to me. Or I'll kill your friends. Go. Now. I need
her blood to revive my soul. Only she can restore me… and you. Without her, Cornelia,
without her blood, you'll never be the same again. No one will remember their friend. They'll
only see a monster, a blood-sucking monster. Now, find her and tell her that her brother is
looking for her.
