VII
Sunlight pierced through the cracks of the barn`s boarded windows. A chicken clucked and pecked the ground around Mina`s body. She slowly stirred from her sleep, moaning at the pain in the back of her head.
She gently sat up, putting a hand on the bump that had formed since last night. Mina sucked in a breath and gingerly touched the painful spot. She seethed and pulled her hand away. She looked around at her surroundings as pieces from last night began to click back into place.
She remembered him.
The piercing color of his eyes... That pale, onion skin, sculpted to perfection...
Mina shook her head to get those thoughts out of her mind. She slowly stood up, using the table beside her for support. Her hand still ached. Her palm was coated with dried blood from where she had scraped it.
Mina gathered herself and made her way to the door. She unlocked it and stepped out into the light.
The town was acting normal as usual, which was not uncommon after a vampire attack. People went on in their everyday lives and jobs. It looked as if nothing had happened.
"Good morning, Mina." Aleister greeted her, fixing his top hat.
"What happened last night? Who was taken?" She asked him.
"A one Mr. Venk," He answered, "No other causalities."
She nodded. "Is my mom okay?"
"I believe so. I saw her looking for you on my way here." Aleister informed her. He then noticed her jumpiness. "Are you alright?" He asked her.
Mina looked up at him, still feeling anxious.
"Yes," She lied, "I`m fine. I have to check on my mom, excuse me." She walked past him and made her way home,
The moment Mina got in the house, she was met with her mother`s tight embrace.
"I thought I lost you." She sobbed and sniffled into her daughter`s shoulder. Mina hugged her back. "What happened to you last night?" Her mother soon pulled away.
Mina paused for a moment, then answered, "I got chased by a bride." She said. "I hid in a barn for hours, then fell asleep." She fibbed.
"I`m so glad you`re okay." Her mother kissed her forehead.
"Me too."
Hey guys, I am so sorry for not updating last Thursday. School just started up again and I am really trying to keep my grades up at the moment. Anyway, I will try to update next Thursday to keep up with my schedule, although I cannot make any promises at the moment. If you have any questions, feel free to message me and I will get back to you ASAP.
As I said, I am going to try to update next Thursday and I hope to have the next chapter or two completed by then. Thank you for being patient with me :)
