TNC 5
I was shaking violently. My hands, my shoulders, and my legs were vibrating inside my skin. I slid out of the silk sheets and stood by the open window. The cool dusk breeze swam into my room. I watched the sun set with such grace it was pathetic.
I wished I could be able to go out and do things any other teenager would do. I watched 'Mean Girls' and 'Bring it On'. I've seen the movies with the popular girls and the loser ones. I wish I was the one girl that everyone knew and was nice to. I wish that I could be Regina George only actually liked and not so mean. But no, I am a stupid guardian for the stupid vampires are so fucking helpless against the stupid hunters.
Yes, there are vampire hunters; such as Blade. The man that has no fear and yet, every vampire fears him. I think it's ironic how he is a half bred himself. Blade, as you should know so well, is a Day-walker, but requires sediment to maintain his thirst for blood. The only other Day-walker besides him is, of course, Drake. Drake doesn't like to talk much about Blade to me. Personally, I think he is afraid of him.
Tonight, will be a night just like any other. I will go out by the guard tower and see if there is anything to report about. Tonight will be nothing special. Tonight will be the same bore it has been for so many years that I have grown up in the Devil's house.
That is how I thought tonight will be like. I didn't know I was wrong.
"She wouldn't be able to hold her own," Asher warned.
Drake just smiled. "Oh, I think she will. She's different from the others. She will win. You will see."
Asher just bowed his head slightly. He shook it. It's not like he actually cared for the human. But if she was killed, Drake will blame it on him. He would blame it on Asher because he let Drake go through with it, even though it was Drake that suggested the human.
Asher left the room still shaking his head with disbelief. If she dies in the arena, Drake will surely kill Asher for letting the Events start up again after hundreds of years it has been banned.
Asher wanted the Events upheld once again to show the vampires they can return the traditions of the Old World to the New, and he wanted some entertainment, of course.
But if the human, the blood-virgin, get's killed… Asher wanted to think no more about it.
She has no choice in the matter either. She would play the games and shall win. She shall not die while playing in the Events. Zoey will not die.
A/N: Yeah, I know. Imma confusing author. Aha. But this is short because people wanted me to update. Christmas break is coming up so I will write a ton more then. For now I hope you are satisfied with this.
