Chapter 9

"Come on Taylor, you better give up or do something quick because we all know you're going to lose" Liam jeered at me. I was going to lose by the look in his eye he already knew how he was gonna defeat me and he had the cards. I had to think of a way out of this but also by freeing Zane.

"Liam, if the slave master dies, does that mean the slaves free?" I asked, drawing a card.

"Yeah. Now if you don't mind I have a meal after this and I want it to hurry up" Liam brushes away my comment. He didn't seem register what I was saying. I looked at my cards, all 6 stars, I couldn't do anything to duel and my brother was going to defeat me this round. Could I kill my brother? Yes. He was never a sibling to me anyway and I…loved Zane. I extended my nails and ran at Liam. He smiled and his duel disk became a sharp weapon, as expected. I jumped behind him and pushed sharp claws through his body and clasped my hand around his heart.

"Liam you should have left me and the ones I care for alone. I'm getting sick of you crap" I dropped him and he lay at my feet…dead. Zane's collar that was attached to Liam disappeared.

"It would have been nice if you beat him in a cleaner way but I'm not complaining" Zane said. He hugged me and kissed me on my forehead. I guess this means we're kind of together now.

"Thank god that's over I prefer to drink blood not duel"

"Who wanted to take over this desolate boarding school anyway" One by one the vampires left the hall. It seems Liam was the on pulling the strings.

"Let's go tell everyone that it's ok to come back now" I said. We walked out to celebrate the good news.

It would have been good news.

"Not every vampires gone, she's still here" A random guy shouted out.

"I'm going to leave this academy anyway" I said. Jesse and Jaden stepped forward.

"What! You can't go, duel academy is your home too" Jesse protested.

"You need to stay and become a better duellist" Jaden said. I smiled at them.

"I'm training harder to be a vampire hunter, that's what I've decided. Just tell Hassleberry that I'm sorry" I said.

"I'm leaving as well" Zane said. Jesse, Jaden and others come to say goodbye but not a lot. I wanted to say good bye to Hassleberry.

"I'm gonna miss you Tay, hopefully we'll meet again" Jesse hugged me.

"Tay, a new nickname? I know I'll meet you again Tay, we have all eternity to do that" Jaden smiled at me.

I put my bags on the harbour and Zane came with his.

"So what are you gonna do now?" I asked. Zane didn't look at me.

"Vampire hunting with someone" he said.

"No, you can't. I don't want you to be in danger again" I said.

"I'm meant to be the one saying that. What if I was a vampire? I would be more durable and stronger. You wouldn't need to worry and I get to spend the rest of my eternal days with you" he said, a pink colour tinged on his cheeks. Was he being romantic?
"Zane…"I began.

"I love you. You're the only one I'm going to love. Do you want me to be loveless forever?" he said, with a slight smile.

"No, but…"

"And I won't die and that's the thing you're most afraid of, me dieing"

"I know, but…"

"You won't have to be lonely anymore" he looked me in the eyes.

I didn't say anything. He was right, I wouldn't be lonely.

The boat arrived. Zane and I got on in silence, we went to his cabin room and I looked at him.

"Your right, I love you and I want us to love together without you getting old so…I'll do it" I decided. Zane smiled. He went on his bed and I followed.

I sank my fangs into his neck.

"Taylor, I'm going to make you happy"

He was again right. I was going to be happy.
