Here's chapter 4 :) I have made the decision to change to 3rd person, I think it works better but comments are greatly appreciated!
She felt like she was drowning, being pulled deeper and deeper unremittingly into the darkness that is a nightmare.
Shock, confusion and a sharp piecing pain were spreading through her sore limbs like a virus and tugged on her heart. Flashes of memories were shooting across her vision as fast as lightning, teasing her relentlessly. She tried desperately to grasp onto one. Suddenly she felt a wave of calm wash over her and could clearly see a beautiful green meadow the size of an Olympic swimming pool, filled with wild flowers in bloom. A man stood across the field with a playful smile tugging at his lips. A gentle breeze rattled his dirty blonde hair that gently framed his angular features. When her attention returned to his face his carefree expression had turned into a frown which held what looked like concern. She squinted her eyes in an attempt to see him better. The man started to walk towards her with a look of determination and steps that were increasing in speed every second. She began to feel nervous and felt a strange sensation that almost felt like a pin prick starting in her feet crawling up her tense body. She broke his gaze to look down at herself.
Blood.
Blood covered her dark blue jeans and stained her once white converses. Her blue t-shirt had a tear right through the middle and she could make out the pale white skin of her chest. The feeling intensified and suddenly she dropped to her knees, moaning in pain. She heard footsteps and looked up to see the man running towards her, worry etched across his now panicked face. She needed him, needed him to tell her it was okay, she was going to be okay. She clutched her head and viciously rubbed her temples where the quick drumming of her racing heartbeat could be heard. She could vaguely hear the man screaming, begging her to get up.
A young womens screams were intruding and ripping the dream out of her grasp, the voice invading her mind and the lights went out once more.
Beth was just getting into her four poster bed when a strangled scream rang out through her apartment, radiating from just below her bedroom. Storming down the steps she quickly realized how vulnerable she looked at that moment in her short blue sleepwear shorts and pink tank top with the words 'Sufferer of OCD, Obsessive Cullen Disorder' stretched across her stomach. But with one look to the poor girl helplessly writhing on the floor, all thoughts disappeared.
Beth ran over to the girl and kneeled beside the body twisting in pain.
"Hey!" Beth shouted shaking the girls limp body.
The girls' mouth was open in a silent scream and her back was arching, that was Beths breaking point. She picked her up by her collar and threw her into the wall behind the girl. A sickening crack echoed across the room as girls body came in contact with the wall and then fell to the cold hard ground with a thud. But the girl quickly reacted by swiftly moving into a defensive crouch.
Beth remained standing with her back straight and body tensed for an attack that never came. The girl lifted her head slowly as if she was not sure what to expect. The look of fear and pain in her eyes was enough to make Beths breathing falter and her expression soften slightly.
The girl then seemed to snap out of the daze she was in to wrap her arms around her body in a feeble attempt to stop the pain radiating from her rips.
"What did you do to me?" the girl demands quietly
"I don't appreciate people who like to lie in." Beth replied with a small smirk playing on her lips.
"Give me a memo next time." the girl ground out, her voice sounding strained.
"Give it an hour and you will be healed, even quicker if you had access to some blood..." Beth taunted.
At the mention of blood the girls head shot up.
"Hungry are we? Well I'm not surprised as your diet seems to consist of Coco pops and Pom Bears if what my kitchen floor is covered in is anything to go on." Beth said with a raised eyebrow.
"Well I couldn't find the Lucky Charms." The girl replied with a small smirk of her own.
"Alright enough of this crap! What were you doing in my house going through MY possessions?" Beth demanded.
"Well I'm sorry for ruining your day, I truly am and I hate to break it to you but I don't know." She replied.
"What do you mean, you don't know?" Beth quipped back.
"I mean I woke up in your kitchen, with no recollection of how I got there whatsoever. Now if you would be kind enough to undo these shackles I will be out of your hair, so to speak." The girl shouted gesturing to her wrists.
Beth looked at her slowly, analysing her every word, move and expression.
"How old are you?"
"Seventeen." The girl immediately replied.
"No, I mean how long have you been like this for?"
The girl looked at her curiously, obviously not understanding the question.
"Immortal." Beth stated as if she was reading an item off of a shopping list.
The girl sighed as if the weight of the world rested upon her shoulders. "I don't know, sometimes it seems like years yet other days it seems like I was... human, just the other day." The girl reluctantly replied.
Beths eyes glassed over slightly as she remembered the first few months after being turned. Not knowing what was happening to you and feeling uncertain of what to do next constantly present, but above all the hunger that invaded every thought and action, that controlled what you did and when - the thirst for human blood.
The girl noticed the change in her captors posture, the slight lowering of the shoulders and hands unclenching and used it to her advantage. She slowly raised herself so she was standing and looked longingly towards the door. She didn't know how she had got to this place but she knew she would have to act quickly or she may not have another chance of escape.
"Don't even think about it!" Beth shouted so loud the walls vibrated. "You do not get to just walk away from this! You are clearly here for a reason and so help me god I will not let you breathe fresh air before I get it out of you. Do you understand?" Beth ground out from inbetween her teeth.
One look at her captors' fierce expression and realizing her eyes had turned to a deep, soulless black, the girl coward in fear against the wall and ducked her head. 'Yes.' she desperately provided.
There it is, please review :)
