Chapter idk Vlad's POV
My sight was perfect. Ok, maybe not. The darkness held me for what seemed like eternity. It was a bright red one minute, then back to the boring black. When you think of the games, you imagine chaos and death sounds. That may be so, but now it is so quiet you can feel the air buzz with electricity. My eyesight started to clear, but painfully slow. My body felt like lead. My head swam and couldn't think clearly. At first, all i could see was the bright sun glaring down on me. Then a bit of green, which turned to beautiful fluffy trees. Blues mixed in with the green, and separated to reveal a shimmering lake. All was well, i thought. Then i saw the contestants. Each wore the same outfit as me, and looked equally dizzy. The rules for the games were you could run as soon as you could, which would be in one minute at the very least. But i was not ready. There was alex in the far end of the circle, on her black platform rubbing her eyes. Melissa held her back and neck, trying to see. Anthony was almost as alert as me. Any farther than that i didn't know who was who. I looked down, and jumped lightly off the platform, and began to run to the inner ring. Anthony had the same idea, and charged. Being practically beside me, it was a race. Then it turned deadly. With
My speed, i could easily push in front of him. He caught up, barely, and grabbed my arm to stop me. I bared my fangs, and ripped out of his grip. It was ruff, but no one dared to go for a death blow. I still remembered the kind talkative person the night before, and i was not in the mood to kill any friends. We reached the middle circle, and i found two things. A back pack and weapons. Of corse, we all cod take any one we wanted, but why? We all choose the one we were best good at, and we would want to stick with that. If we took both blood and weapon, the game makers would blow us up where we stood. Turning at the blink of an eye, i punched Anthony in the gut. He made a sound like "oof" and doubled over. He bared his fangs and growled. I hissed back and quickly snatched my dagger. I unsheathed it quickly, and it gleamed in the sun. He didn't show any fear, but in his mind i could feel it. I couldn't kill him. Not yet. Without any words to him, i turned and ran out of the metal ring and on to the green grass. Feeling it below my feet was so nice, instead of hard concrete of the training room. I saw the other contestants running out, finally awake from the awful drugs. I passed alex, and somehow felt no sadness for what i was going to do. I sliced her arm, and pounced on her. She screamed, but i ripped open her throat with my teeth. The flesh was so soft. My fangs sank so deliciously deep in her arm, and i shivered. So this is what its like to be a vampire. Her scream cut off, and blood spattered out and on the ground. It was so torn, you could see the cords in her neck. I licked my lips. She may be a vampire, but the kill was still a rush. I never thought it would be so satisfying. Her eyes were open, but there was no life in them. She dropped when i released her, and thumped on the grass. One down. Suddenly, the guilt got me. But i couldn't dwell on that now, as the contestants were everywhere, so coming in my direction. I saw so many familiar faces, all horribly twisted into rage and the will to live. Anthony was currently stabbing the life out of some girl with blond hair. With dagger in hand, i took mr gonel's advice and took off.
The sounds of fighting got quieter and suddenly stopped as i got farther away. The trees were tall and thick, with huge branches. And they were Freaken everywhere. The moss on the ground, the tree roots spreading metres away, the chirps o birds, and most of all the beaming sun on my skin was beautiful and new. The way the leaves fluttered in the wind was calming. The lake was so still i could see my reflection. Everything was so beautiful you just had to smile. As i said before, the lake was reflective, and the picture of me was the thing that made the forest not matter anymore. Everywhere on me was bright red. In my hair, on my pants and shirt, even in my teeth. My teeth... Sharp fangs protruded out, making me look deadly. And deadly i was. My dagger was in my grasp, and it was also stained with the red. I didn't belong in such an amazing place. No one did if they looked how i did then. I needed to find water. Wait, already done. A place to sleep, ok a tree maybe. Looking around, i found one rate beside the lake. I slipped my blade in my pant waist, and walked to the tree. It was smooth, but i could probably climb it. I gripped around the trunk and hoisted myself up, until i could reach up and grab the nearest branch. I flipped out on to it, and kept climbing until i was far enough up. So... Seeing it was good enough i now needed to find food. I did just kill some one but she was a vamp and not suitable for draining. Suddenly a crack in the bushed turned my attention away, and i saw a head pop up. She was beautiful and lanky, with long ginger hair. Her eyes were a deep blue like the lake. She was human, i could see, and had some muscle in her. I could see it. She looked around, not bothering to look up, and sighed in relief. She walked out stealthy, and went to the lake where she cupped some water to drink. She finished, and stood. I could smell her blood pumping in her veins. Not wanting to be miss the chance, i jumped from the tree. The fall was easy, and i landed softly. Her eyes widened, and she tried to run. I whipped out and grabbed her arm. She whimpered, to scared to scream thankfully. I bared my fangs, and she started to cry.
"Please! Don't kill me i want to live! Please!" She sobbed. She reminded me of ella, and brought a pang of sadness. I could kill alex, and only feel slight guilt, but feel mercy for this human? Wow. Get a grip.
"I could show you where to get supplies! I could show you anything you want! Don't kill me!" Ok now i was just being cruel. I needed to make it fast, but i was curious to see where this would go. I tilted my head and read her mind.
He was gripping my arm waaaay to hard, and i knew if i got out of this i would be bruised. When i looked at his face, my heart wanted to jump out of my chest in fear and in awe. He was hot, i could call him that yes, and scary. His fangs were ready to kill and his hair was midnight black. This was not a time for flirting, as i needed to get out of this. Think... Could her be reading my mind? I heard they could do that. Hmmm...
I pulled out of her mind and flushed bright red. Sighed and got ready to bite anyway. She trembled, and i broke. I pushed her away and growled. I crossed my arms and sighed, wishing i would have the guts to do it. She looked shocked, and was frozen. Run! I wanted to yell. She raised an eyebrow, and i was so baffled i read her mind again.
Wow! I can't believe that worked! Why did he let me go? Umm... Oh well. Run! No, talk at least! I did promise to help him. But he may turn on me. Oh i wish i hadn't of even gotten drunk and brake a window, to get arrested, and shoved in here. In the horrible arena. Maybe he can help me! No, no, no...
This was it. I had to do it! Now, before i gave her hope. Make it quick. I grabbed her tiny wrist, and she gasped. Hunger took over, and without thought i sank my fangs in her neck. Deep. She screamed, and i put my hand over her mouth. She was silenced. Her long hair smelled like wild flowers, so beautiful. I suddenly stopped, and let her go. This could only be done by the endless practice with ella... Oh ella. My heart ached for her. This human should not be tortured like this by me. I was a monster. I killed alex, and now this girl. She fell to the ground. I thought that i saved her life, but she had lost too much blood. She had died. Her pale body was still, and her eyes were shut. I dragged her body in the very bush she came from, and left her. I wondered what happened to the bodies, and dismissed the thought. I need make another kill. Not for blood, but so i could get out of this place alive. Marking the tree with a smear of blood so i could find my way back, i left with my dagger. I walked at human speed for a few minutes, enjoying the forest breeze on my face. Who would be next to die by my blade or teeth? Perhaps sweet steph, or evil cruel melissa. I slight shuffle of movement caused my to turn and look up, to see a dark figure up in a tree. It looked like a female. And she had a... What the hell is that a bow? I ducked rolled as a silver arrow flew past my head. Oh my god. I turned, and saw a girl disappear in the tree. Who ever it was, is gone for now. I trudged back to the tree, feeling unsuccessful, and climbed to the branch. I will sleep for merely three hours, then wake for a night hunt. I hope ella wasn't watching...
Ella's POV
The guards pulled me away, and i watched Vlad be stabbed in the neck. I Cried out, wanting our goodbyes to be longer. They dragged me to a blank room with two chairs, and i protested. I needed to at least watch him. They at first refused, but finally gave in and dragged a small monitor in. I watched as the games started, the annoying announcers talked. I saw Vlad, looking tired and loopy. He was there only a few minutes. He jumped off the platform, and raced for the ring. The pretty forest was amazing, but i didn't care at the moment. His speed let him get in front of another boy, and grab his dagger. Good choice, i thought. Things got messy. He pounced on alex, the sweet girl from the training room, and ripped open her throat. Blood split everywhere, and the announcers said,
"Wow, one down. And what a show from Vladimir!"
"I expect to see more from this guy. The man eating plants will take care of the bodies! And perhaps a few contestants..."
"Oh, i hope. How fun! The desert arena last year was bad, they all died off so soon. Here, they should last longer! We at least gave them a nice place to look at when they die!
"true. How about we look at the dead now, shall we?"
"The list is short for now. only alex, Tom, and Sarah."
Well, good job Vlad. I want to see you again, hold me again, and make you smile. I want you to hold me, kiss me, and keep the nightmares away. To be a protector. Please come back. I want you.
So. It has been a long time. Writers block lol!
Vlad: you little shit!
Me: shut up or i will put a bullet in your head you asshole. Got it? Good.
