Ch. 4: A New Place
Sorry for taking so long but i had writers block. Please tell me what you think of it. Enjoy.
They had been on the road for ten hours before they reached a small but a very nice cozy town. It even had housing areas for rent which is what Selene and Michael were looking for. Michael stopped the car and went to talk to the manager about the small houses. Selene went in the opposite direction, she didn't know why but she is drawn to this area. When Selene stops she looks down and sees a tiny river with a young girl on the banks who seems to be sleeping. For some reason Selene felt a connection with this girl. She could feel Michael walk up behind her.
"Selene, what is it?" he asked.
"The girl, she looks familiar." She answered.
Michael looked over the edge and saw the young girl. Michael scrunches his eye brows together, "She does look familiar. Do you know her?" he said.
"No." Selene took a step back and started walking to the car. "Did you get us a place?" she asked.
Michael turned to look at Selene, "Yes I did and it's a good price. Do you want to see it?" he said.
Selene gave a small nod and got into the car. Michael then opened the driver car door and got in as well and they drove off to their new place. The girl by the river had looked up where Selene and Michael had stood. "There you are."
Selene and Michael had rented this little apartment like house and have been staying there for a week now and no sign of any death dealers. Selene was curios about the girl she saw their first day in the little town, but hadn't seen her since. It was bothering her and Michael noticed. "What's wrong Selene?" Michael asked.
"I can't seem to get that girl off my mind/" Selene said.
"The girl you saw last week by the river?" Michael asked.
"Yeas, I just had a weird feeling about her." Selene answered.
"I also got an interesting vibe from her too." Michael said. "Who do you think she is?"
"I don't know, but I would like to find out." Selene said. "Did you eat?"
Michael made a disgusted face and nodded. "Yes I ate."
Selene rolled her eyes, "Michael stop complaining about the blood it isn't bad and it isn't like we are eating it out of a human."
"I know, I just need more time getting used to it." Michael said.
Selene then looked out of one of the windows next to their front door and it was dark outside.
"So you think they followed us?" Michael asked.
"Well they know we are in England, that's for sure." Selene replied.
"So the man on the airplane…" Michael said.
"Vampire." Selene said finishing Michael's sentence.
"Great!" Michael said with a raised voice. "How long do we have until he finds us?" he asked.
"I'm not sure but possible soon." Selene replied.
"So we have to leave again, don't we?" Michael asked.
"Maybe." Selene responded.
"What are you thinking?" Michael said.
But it was too late they were there. Bullets came bursting through the windows. Selene and Michael grabbed their bags and stored most in the bathroom and took the gun bag out the back with them. Four vampires stormed into their apartment. "Where are they? I heard them in here." A woman vampire yelled.
"There must be a back way out, either a door or more windows." Another vampire said.
"Duh it's a house, there are lots of windows." The third vampire said.
By this time Michael and Selene had reached the bridge and took their guns out and loaded them with UV rounds.
"What was your plan?" Michael asked with a smile.
"Now is not the time Michael." Selene responded.
"Sorry, you're right. What do we do now?" he asked.
"You die!" Michael and Selene spun around to see the four vampires standing behind them. Right as they were shooting someone jumped and pushed them down the river bank.
"Why did you do that?" Michael asked the person who made them fall.
"Had…to…" the person said.
Michael rolled her over and saw that it was the girl Selene had been obsessing over the last week. The girl had blood all over her. Michael picked her up and turned to Selene, "We should go, she's been shot."
Selene had led them back to the apartment and placed the couch and a bed in front of the door and windows. Michael laid the girl down on the floor and placed a pillow underneath her head. "I found you." The girl said.
"Who are you?" Selene asked.
"Danielle. Danielle Corvin." She answered.
Both Michael and Selene were shocked to hear this.
"Does this mean we're related?" Michael asked the young girl.
"Yes Michael." Danielle replied. "I know all about you." She coughed and blood came out.
"Oh my god. A bullet must have pierced her lung. We have to get her to a hospital." Michael said.
"I won't make it." Danielle said.
"No you can, just hold on. Okay?" Michael replied.
"How do you know so much about us?" Selene questioned.
"My grandfather. He gave me everything to know about the Corvinus family. I have books that you will need. There…" she coughed again.
"Selene we have to help her." Michael said.
"The only way is to turn her. I don't think you want her to go through that, do you?" she answered.
"No." Michael replied.
"It's the only way to show you." Danielle said.
"You want to be a vampire?" Michael asked.
"I have… to show… you, Michael." Danielle said then blacked out.
"Selene what do we do?" Michael said.
"She has something important to show you. We have to turn her." Selene said. Michael nodded and Selene bit her.
Only seconds later the four death dealers from before had found then again. They were trying to break in but weren't successful. Selene had gotten the rest of their duffle bags and snuck out of the apartment and pack their stolen car. When she came back she found the girl, Danielle awake. And she was no longer human. Danielle placed her hand inside her jacket and pulled out a gun. She then went to a side window and ran to the front of the apartment and started shooting the vampires. Michael and Selene ad followed her and saw her take out all four death dealers. Danielle then turned to Michael and Selene, "We should get out of here the others aren't far behind." She started to walk to the car when Selene grabbed her arm.
"How do you know there is more?" Selene asked.
"Because I know who sent them after you." Danielle replied.
"That is not what I asked you." Selene said.
"Yes but it will have to do. We have bigger problems right now." Danielle responded.
"She's right Selene we have to leave." Michael said and she nodded and they all went to the stolen car.
After they left a van drove up to the apartment about ten minutes later." We missed them." The vampire said.
Please review it will make me happy.
