Chapter 10 of My Incomplete Romance.
When I ran towards Gannen he slammed me down on the ground hard, and all the other Vampaneze started laughing. He pinned me down and stared into my eyes.
"I guess I'll go ahead and tell you Emma." He said mockingly. "I killed them, sucked them dry. I didn't kill you because you because Desmond Tiny explained to me your situation. He told me if I killed you the Vampires would surly when the war of scars.
We couldn't have that now can we?"
"Gannen why don't you let Emma go?" said a voice that sounded awfully familiar. "Then we can catch up on old times!" Mr. Crepsley stepped into the light. He glared at me, and ran towards Gannen before I could react I was scooped up by some strange person.
"Hey who are you!" I exclaimed to the person.
"Shh you're safe." They whispered to me. "I am taking you back to the Cirque Let Mr. Crepsley handle this."
"No! Let me help him please!" I begged but the strange person just took me away.
When I got back to the Cirque all of the freaks watched me, and most of them tried to avoid me, all except Truska and Evra. I looked at the man who had dragged me away from Mr. Crepsley he looked like he was a vampire too. He had lots of scars, instead of just one like Mr. Crepsley.
"What's your name?" I asked him.
"Gavner Pearl. I'll talk to you later though Emma, Larten is back and I'm sure he is going to want to talk to you alone." With that said he walked away quickly, he glanced at me one time before disappearing into the woods next to the Cirque.
Mr. Crepsley walked into camp; all the freaks cleared the way he walked right up to me.
He pointed a finger at me and yelled;
"YOU INSOLENT LITTLE BRAT! DO YOU UNDERSTAND YOU COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED BY GANNEN?" I winced at his tone of voice. "I BARELY ESCAPED FROM HIM! I ALMOST DIDN'T MAKE IT IN TIME." He moved to slap me but someone whisked me out of the way. Mr. Tall of course, he was always moving quickly.
"Larten calm down!" He yelled at Mr. Crepsley. "She is just a child; do not take it out on her."
"She's disappointed us all of us just like Desmond said she would!" Mr. Crepsley exclaimed to Mr. Tall. "She is a disgrace she will not be able to save us all!"
"Larten peace I am going to talk to her." He beckoned me to follow him to his caravan.
As I walked with Mr. Tall, I could feel tears threatening to come down. I didn't want to cry, crying to all of them showed weakness. He glanced at me before opening his caravan door, and motioning for me to go in. He was in his desk by the time I got in the large van. I still wondered how he did that.
"Why did you run away Emma?" He asked me. I didn't answer him at first, I was scared to. He probley already knew why anyway.
"Don't you already know why, do I really have to answer that for you?"
"I know some of the reasons, but I would like to hear from you." I could tell he was serious but I did not want to tell him.
"I-I am scared, of the future." I admitted. That's when all the tears came down. I started weeping right in front of him. He just looked at me; it was like he had not seen any one cry before.
"What else?" he asked me. "You need to tell me everything."
"I ran from you."
He chuckled. "I take it you do not like me."
"No, it's not like that. It's just that's part of accepting my destiny."
"All of us have fates to accept Emma you are not the only one."
"I should just give up now though. Mr. Crepsley said it himself I am going to disappoint you all anyway."
"Futures can change, it doesn't have to be that way, but that is all up to you." Mr. Tall explained to me. "I already know what's going to happen, it hasn't changed yet."
"Mr. Tall, I do not want to turn into a vampire."
"Why not, aren't you ready yet?"
"I feel like I am, but Mr. Crepsley is mad at me." That was the truth too; he might kill me in the process right now.
"He will be for awhile. I'll talk to him though." Mr. Tall assured me. "Let me warn you though vampirism is something you can never take back."
"You guys were the ones that told-"
He cut me off. "I said you would one day anyway your choice though. I never said you have to. It would just be better if you did. Now if you'll excuse me." He left the caravan; he left me to think of what I should really do.
That's the end of number 10
Please R&R. I will love you forever!
