Hey! My writer's block is gone. yay! I hope you like this chapter. I'm not the best at fight scenes..sooo they're probably not all that great. But anyways..on with the story!
I couldn't speak, I couldn't move, nor could I tear my eyes away from him. It was like my mind was separate from my body. While my body was frozen in place like a complete idiot, my mind was racing. I was in shock. I didn't want to believe that the person standing before me was actually there. I wanted to come up with some logical reason why he was here. I wanted to believe that I was stuck in some nightmare and that he wasn't the sick person behind all this. But you don't always get what you want. And though I didn't want to, I had to get my mind and body to accept that Nicholas Cardwell was actually the person standing in front of me.
"Why hello Kate, good to see you." he said with a smirk.
It took me a minute, but I finally found my voice,"I would say the same, but lying isn't my style." I was surprised and slightly proud to hear that my voice didn't shake at all.
Not in the least bit phased by my comment he continued speaking,"I can see you're shocked to see that I'm the 'psycho' behind the kidnapping. I would have thought you might have suspected me at least a little, 'cause who else has all that information about you, like where to find you and your name. You didn't even recognize my handwriting, and I thought you were a P.I.."
Becoming angrier by the second I suppressed the urge to rip his pretty little head off,"Why are you doing this? Actually, how are you doing this?"
"I'm doing it to get to you, to lure you in. As to how I'm doing this, well, let's just say it's really not that hard for a vampire." He smirked and waited for my reaction.
It's was at that moment I suddenly scented something, something I didn't notice before because of the state of shock I was in. Vampire. I looked around. The only person in here was Nick - besides me of course. But he isn't a vampire, I would have smelled that on him the moment he walked into the classroom days ago. I took a step toward him and sniffed. He was definitely a vamp, a really old vamp, stuck in 17 year old's body, that must suck.
He vamped out to prove it then returned to his human appearance "You see, I found this cure, a mortal cure as the few people who know about it call it. It temporarily turns a vampire into a human. That's why you didn't smell vampire on me before." he explained.
A mortal cure? When did this happen?
"What are you talking about? There's no cure for vampirism."
"Not until recently, and besides, it's more of a temporary cure, not exactly a cure."
A cure for being a vampire. That's what I need. Even a temporary one. But I can't think about that now.
"Alright, that answers my question about how you're doing this, but the why part of it, that wasn't exactly a straight answer. And right now all I want is straight answers." I said angrily.
"Well you could say I'm working for someone..." he said with a smile and at that moment a person walked through the door near the back of the church that probably led to offices and things like that. The person was a man, well, technically a vampire who was the last person I wanted to see at the moment. Alexander.
"Oh great, why don't we invite a few other vamps and have a party?" I said sarcastically as Alexander walked past Nick (If that was his real name) and stood in front of me.
"You can hide your fear behind sarcasm all you want, but it's not going to work with me." he said smugly, which made me want wipe that arrogant smile off his face and cook him slowly over a big fire. No I do not have anger management issues.
"I'm not afraid of you!" I snapped and to emphasize I walked up to him and got into his face.
All he did was smirk and continue talking,"I should have killed you when I had the chance, you are very annoying."
"You won't have to worry about that much longer 'cause you'll be dead, along with you're stupid, moronic assistant." I said and Nick's smug grin immediately fell into a scowl and I smirked.
Alexander's smile remained though,"I'd like to see you try to take on two vampires who are both three times your age. You don't stand a chance."
My jaw clenched. I hate to admit it, but he was right, I couldn't fight these guys alone. I wouldn't last five minutes. I could still hear Mick banging helplessly at the door. Jeez, he's such an idiot, sometimes. He needs to use his brain!
"Use the window for God's sake!" I yelled to Mick and the banging stopped abruptly and I heard a quick command to Beth to stay put then suddenly Mick crashed through the window nearest me. In seconds he was standing next to me.
"Even with your young friend you can't beat me." Alexander said with a smirk.
Without warning I pounced on Alexander like an angry tiger and before he could even process my actions through his brain I had him pinned firmly on the ground,"Maybe not, but I sure can try."
Alexander brought his legs up and kicked me off of him. I flew backwards and hit the double doors behind me. At that moment Mick lunged at Nick and began fighting with him, even though he's pretty young he was doing a good job of beating the crap out of Nick.
I turned my attention back to Alexander. In the blink of an eye I was in front of him. I gave him a crooked smile before punching him in the face so hard he flew backwards twenty feet. He got up quickly and brought his hand up to his jaw, which was in a very sick position. He snapped it back in place with a little cry of pain and sprinted towards me.
I braced myself to dodge, but I misjudged his speed. He came at me with a flying kick and hit me in the face. I felt my nose crush under impact. Blood gushed out reminding me how hungry I was.
Alexander smirked and I lunged at him. He sidestepped, which is what I was expecting, I changed direction with inhuman speed and hit him with a roundhouse kick. He flew backwards and landed on his arm with a sickening crack.
He quickly got up and repositioned his arm so it could heal. I could tell he was pissed. He jumped high in the air so fast my eyes could barely keep up. He came down on top of me with his legs locked in place before I could react. He had me pinned on the ground now, straddling me. He began punching at my face, and let me tell you, it hurt. Really bad.
I struggled to get up, but he had one arm pinning me down by the neck and he was pretty strong. I started losing strength and I went limp. He stopped punching me, and through one of my swollen eyes I saw him smile and it made me feel sick. He got up and started kicking me endlessly. He broke almost all my ribs and probably severed my spine. I was in so much pain. Soon I was just numb to it. My wounds were healing slowly due to the lack of blood.
I felt so helpless. I couldn't even fight back. Alexander is going to kill me. I'll die in this stupid run-down church.
No. I can't let that happen.
With the very little amount of strength I had, I grabbed his ankle as he went to kick me for, like, the fiftieth time. The surprise was evident on his face as I pulled down and he fell to the ground. With sluggish movements I crawled over to him pinned him down with one knee on his stomach and one on his neck. It hurt so bad to move, but I tried to block it out as I reached over to a small table. I broke off a leg of it and turned back to Alexander. I smiled, which hurt really bad, and shoved the make-shift stake right into his heart. I moved away from him, shock frozen on his face, and sat against the wall for a second.
Mick and Nick (ha, that rhymes) were fighting about thirty feet away. Mick looked pretty beat-up, but Nick looked worse. Even though Nick had him beat by at least 200 or so years, age wise, Mick was kicking his butt. He was a bit more clever while fighting, if not as strong.
I slowly got to my feet and made my way to the broken window Mick came through. I found a piece of glass and walked, well limped over to the fighting vampires. Nick didn't notice me until the last minute. Mick had punched him pretty heard, sending him flying towards me. When he got close enough a slashed the sharp glass at him aiming for his neck. His eyes widened, he tried to dodge but couldn't. I cut his head clean off.
I dropped the glass and looked down at his body, "That's what you get, you idiotic, lying, piece of -"
Before I could finish that sentence I fell to the ground very ungracefully and blacked out.
Did you like it?! Please review and tell me! Oh yeah, um I know I mentioned the mortal cure and stuff, well let's pretend that Mick hasn't heard of it yet. OK? OK.
