Chapter nine

Vlad POV

It was the day to move. We had to wake up at 5:00AM to go and get the train. Ella and me walked down to the elevator, and we went all the way up to the station. There was red velvet ropes, and people standing outside to get a glimpse of the contestants. Right, we had the interviews, the dinner party where all important people come to meet us, and the parade. All of it seemed invasive and stupid. All the people of the country we going to be watching. Maybe the even more then the country. The train was first class with our own cars, and ella shared one with me. We met up with Emily, who was chatting away about something girly like the style of clothing and whatever. She wore a fuzzy pink coat and black pants, and a wig. It was obviously a wig. Her face was covered in makeup, and her annoying voice wanted to make me rip my ears off. Ella must of felt the same way, but she tried to pay attention to be polite. We made sure to stay away from the other contestants, as reporters make up stories about anything. The good thing was they didn't know our name yet. We entered into our train car, and there was a bed, a washroom, and a caller button. Some other things like paintings added to the room but i didn't care. Ella sighed and jumped on the bed on her back, and her limbs everywhere and her bag flopping to the floor. I laughed, and asked, "tired much?" She simple nodded and closed her eyes. The bed was big enough for me to lie down too and stare the ceiling. I turned around to face her, and had a funny idea. "Hey, ella, are you ticklish?" Her eyes went wide, and i knew she was. I poked her stomach and she clutched it, giggling. I poked again and she laughed more, until it turned into a full out laugh fest. She tried to stop me, but she couldn't. She ended it by being so desperate and rolling of the bed as if it was morning. She was still giggling on the ground when i helped her up. "I-i c-can't breath!" She was laughing so hard. Wow she was tired. She calmed down and playfully smacked me on the arm. It didn't hurt, but i made a show of it and moaned in pain. She sighed a happy sigh and i got off the bed to stretch. In mid stretch, she tossed a pillow at my head and it fell to the floor. "You didn't just do that." I said evilly. She shook her head and looked guilty. I picked up the pillow and tossed it back lightly and it hit her in the gut. This went on for a while, tossing them back and forth, and i sat on the bed tired. Whatever i got up for can wait. We faced each other on the bed, and i leaned in and kissed her gently on the lips. She kissed me back and she laid on top, straddling me. I held her waist and my vampire instincts took over and flipped her over with vampire speed and kissed her fiercely, her arms around my neck. We pulled apart, and laid side by side. She hugged in to my chest, and i held her there. And like most 13 years olds, needed more then six hours of sleep. I remembered it was my birthday tomorrow. Fun.

Two hours later, there was a knock at our door. I opened it to see Emily standing there looking worried. "Come to the dining car, we beed to talk with all of you." She said. I nodded and walked to ella, waking her up. She looked up, dazed, but soon took a minute to brush her hair and teeth. So did i, as fast as i could so i could hear what Emily had to say to all of us. We walked to the dining area, and everyone sat around the table chatting. All of the contestants, plus a few humans. I could see a young boy, around nine, had curly hair and freckles. He was a vampire. He had fangs. There also was a blond, like amy, who looked around sixteen had perfect skin. Then there was Tom. His nose looked broken still, which i smirked at. There were lots more, but it wasn't the time to learn all there names now. Emily sat beside me, and a man with dark skin sat at the end. Ella stood behind my chair, as there was no more room. The man had a deep voice and kept the news simple. "Amy, the contestant, has been murdered." And we all gasped. Even me. The sweet, beautiful vampire who had a large group of friends. The one to talk to me first in the contestants room. How could she be the one to be murdered? Why couldn't it be Tom? "She was found in a bathroom stall and a stab wound to the heart, and we could tell it wasn't her to stab herself. It was a contestant. I am going to tell you all now, listen closely, that there is no killing aloud before the games. We now have to choose another vampire girl to replace her. Emily, may you please bring her in?" He said. Emily nodded and left for a second and returned with a red head girl. She had a evil grin, and eyes to match. She glanced around, and i could tell there was something wrong with her. A pain jabbed me deep inside for amy, and I felt angry. Who every killed amy was going to pay. Big time. They dismissed us, and i stormed back to my room, ella behind me. I was really angry. I sat on the bed, and stared at the floor. Ella stood in front of me and suddenly hugged me. It was quick. "You must feel really good now. Amy is dead." She looked shocked. "Vlad, amy wasn't my enemy or anything. She just had wrong views on humans. She was nice, and i felt we could of been friends." For some reason, that made me angry.

Ella's POV

"... We could of been friends." I said, but it didn't comfort him at all. He stood so that he was in my face and his eyes looked fierce. He was never like this ever with me. Ever. "Really? It didn't look like it when you came into my room pouting because of me and amy talking." I was mad now too. "I haven't done anything, Vlad." He bared his fangs, which absolutely scared me to death. "How do i know it wasn't you who killed her? Or one of your friends?" "Vlad, your talking crazy!" "Oh really? To me its not. It makes sense for it to be you to kill her." I looked down. I wasn't getting through to him. He shoved me hard, and i hit the wall behind me. Ow. That was going to bruise. With his vampire speed, he closed the gap and pinned me to the wall. He looked me in the eye, and said darkly, "your lucky i don't drain you of all your blood human. Don't talk to me like that, like i care about you." He squeezed on my wrist. He released me ad i ran as fast as i could to the wash room. I locked the door. This wasn't Vlad. This was him overrun with emotion, and i'm the only one here to shove it on. A dark bruise was forming on both my wrist already, and one on my back from the wall. I started to cry. I missed Vlad. We went from kissing and being happy to him pushing me against a wall baring his fangs and threatening me. This only reminded me of the vampire who ruined my life seven years ago. The purple hat dude who killed my parents.

Flashback

Mommy and daddy handed me a huge present. I excitedly ripped it open, and inside was the thing i always wanted. A puppy. It was white except for a black spot on its eye and back. I saw a camera flash, and the puppy yapped and licked my cheek. I laughed and held the dog, and hugged mommy daddy until i was in tears. "So, honey. What are you going to name him?" I smiled and said, since i was five, "buttercup." Mommy and daddy let me go with buttercup outside. We played frisbee. Daddy waved at me from the window, and i grinned and waved back. I remember having that dog for years, and he was the most well trained dog iv'e ever seen. When he died, i was devastated and needed lots of help from my parents to get over him. I smiled at the memory and was thrown back in to reality. I had to deal with Vlad, but not now. He seriously didn't do his worst, but he did more then hurt me physically, but inside. I thought he liked me, but apparently not. And he said i was "just a human". I stood and looked in the mirror. I looked horrible, from the bad night of sleep, and the issue with Vlad. I heard a knock at the door, a gentle one. I took a second and tried to fix myself up. I opened the door, and Vlad had his arms crossed and looked down. He finally looked me in the eye and had the saddest face in the history of saddest faces. I couldn't help be feel bad for him. A tear actually ran down his face, and he said, "ella, i am so sorry. I can't believe i did that, ans if i only learned how to use my powers to hurt the people who mean a lot to me, i can't forgive my self. I felt as if someone else was controlling me, and..." He stopped talking for a moment. "Whats that noise" he said. "Vlad, there's nothing to hear." "Yes, its from out side" he said running to the door. Standing outside was none other then the new girl. "Oh my god you should of seen yourself." She said to Vlad. "What are you doing here?" He asked. "Well, i came here and decided to see what the other contestants were like, and used mind control on you." She laughed and clutched her stomach. Vlad moved with his speed and used his arm to hold her neck against the wall. "Mind control? What are you talking about? And were you the one to make me hurt ella? Whats your problem?" "Oh, it was just a bit of fun to get to know my fellow contestants. And yes, many vampires have mind powers. Your VTI must of missed that topic..." Vlad growled and flashed his fangs, and so did the red head. "Your fast, kid, and strong, but i have mind control.." She made him lie on the ground and he screamed in pain at what she was doing. "And thats sometimes the most powerful power." I was shocked at how fast she had put Vlad to the ground. All the strength in Vlad, thrown to the ground in seconds. Vlad must learn this power soon. He forced himself up and threw a punch to her and was stopped in mid-air. She giggled and cried, "now, we don't hit girls, do we? Well, you must as you hit your friend here, who looks so yummy. By the way, i'm Melissa. I have been the one messing with your mind. Now that my cover is blown, whats your name, Vladimir? I will leave you be. Move on. I will see you in the games." She said and walked away skipping. Vlad rubbed his head, and stood up. "Vlad, now that i know it was that bit** controlling you, i forgive you. I can't believe her." I walked over and hugged him. He took me in his strong but soft arms and hugged me. "Ella, i think the games is also messing with me. I have had the best days, with you, and the worst. Thinking about the upcoming games is stressful and not good for someones head." "Vlad, i understand. Please, i forgive you." I said and left his arms, calling a supper to come. I pulled myself under the covers, and ate dinner in bed for once. That night we didn't hold each other, or kiss, or even let him feed. I felt alone.

So, a sad chapter ;(

Vlad: whatever.
Me: so, Melissa is pulling Vlad apart. Mean!
