ch7

It was dark in the room but I could still see. Being locked in this room is such a cliché and I knew how to get out. The baby moved again, I looked down at my stomach and rubbed my hand over the bump. Then I put my hands up, palms facing the door. Mentally I pushed and the door flew open. I walked out and down a hall. every door I walked passed flew open. I stopped at one. I looked at the door. It quickly fell apart like dry sand. I walked into the room. I couldn’t see anyone else until I turned around. There he was, Damien, he looked like he was sleeping. I ran to him and pulled him up into my lap “Damien” no reaction. I could feel tears start to pool in my eyes. I was scared and just need to be held. “Damien wake up please, just wake up” I felt his muscles tighten. I put my hand on his cheek, his nose crinkled “Damien” my voice was filled with hope. Then a dark figure walked into the room then. I looked up. It was a mean with dark hair with eyes that sparkled with amusement. “he wont wake” he told me with a grin. I put Damien back against the floor, I stood up. “what did you do to him” I could barley recognized my own voice. His amusement grew. My hands flew up and I pushed him against the was, his amusement dropped. I let go of him. One of his hands twitched and I felt something pass threw me. Suddenly Damien gasped and sat up, he saw me and jumped up and hugged me. Slowly resealing me he turned to see the man still standing at the door. His grip tightened around me. Then we were in a forest and Damien had fallen. I dropped to my knees he was gasping, his eye and hands clenched in pain. He sat up with a fierce gasp. He blinked and looked around, when his eyes focused on me he pulled me into his arms. My hands fasted in his shirt. We sat there for a minute or two before I pulled away to look at him. “are you all right?” I asked. He smiled a little “I should be asking you that” he said. Suddenly his mood changed and he pulled us up. He was so weak he fell ever. I grabbed him. He grabbed my wrist and with a slight flick if his nail a cross the blue vein blood started to flow and fast. Almost immediately he brought my wrist to his mouth. Since I had become a vampire he had not taken my blood. When the wound began to close he shifted my wrist to sink his teeth into my skin. It was dull at first but the pain grew fast and hard, until I started to screaming. The  pain was immense, by any standard. I knew I couldn’t pull away. Damien kept biting down harder and harder but all I felt from that was a little pressure. He pulled away slowly, I was gasping. He picked me  up and jumped into a tree, holding me as close as possible. He  shrank back against the tree, suddenly he covered my mouth and nose so I couldn’t breath. My hands flew up to pull them away “stop” he whispered so low in my ear I could barley hear him. A few branches lower something landed on one. I froze. “they were just here” one yelled. I heard several move around us. When they were gone Damien removed his hand “they’re new, they couldn’t track us properly” he told me. I nodded, still not breathing. Then I looked at Damien “why” I gasp. He was supervised by my outburst. “what” “you know when you bit me. Why did it hurt so much?” he looked away. “it’s something to do with the Halflings. Its just a reaction to being bit by our same kind” his hand came u, his fingers lightly brushing down my cheek. “I didn’t want to do that. But” he pulled his sleeve up “he cut me several times” white lines crisscrossed his wrists. “can we go home now please” I said. He nodded. He stood and took a step forward then put me on a bed. I hadn’t noticed how tired I was till now. I fell asleep right when Damien was going to say something.

I had curled into a little ball. Slowly I opened my eyes. I saw a wall. I sat up and looked around, the room was familiar. I got out of the bed. Like any teen aged bedroom there where posters all over the walls. There was a big desk on 1 wall it had many pictures in the cork board. I walked over to the desk and started looking at the pictures. The first 1 I saw was of a young girl with a huge smile hugging a boy. Then I was pulled into a memory. It was me and Damien when we were younger, at least 5 years old. We were at the park and I had just moved into that neighbour hood. My mom brought me to the park to meet new kids. I had been on the swings when a boy dressed in black had walked up to me and asked if I wanted a push on the swing I nodded and he started to push the swing. After a little we went to the play ground and played for the whole day making games up or playing hide and seek. We didn’t stop playing until the sun went down. By then we were sitting on the grass watching the stars. Then Damien’s mom had com over to us and told him it was time to go and he threw a fit. I had jumped up and given him a hug and said “meet back here tomorrow” he smiled and nodded and when we were talking his mom had taken the picture. I came back to the present time and put the picture down. Looking at all the other pictures I realized that it was all of me and him growing up. Just then the door opened and someone walked in. I couldn’t see who because of a wall. But when they rounded the corner I saw it was Damien. When he saw me up he smiled and walked over to hug me. “how do u feel” he whispered in my ear. I smiled and kissed him “fine, what about you” he just nodded. I was going to say something when some one walked into the room. Kaya walked from around the corner and I felt Damien tense, he quickly stepped in front of me. She didn’t even seem to care that I was there or that Damien was protecting me. She just said: “mom wants to see you” and then turned around and left. Damien turned back to me and grabbed my hands “I’ll be right back please stay here” I nodded and he left. I waited a few moments then slipped out of the room. I walked down a hall with several different doors. I kept walking till I found a wide open place. It looked like something out of a medieval era castle. What I hadn’t noticed was the floor was stone. There was a stone balcony that looked over a grand foyer. I was only on the second floor, looking down at the marble floor made me feel like I really was in a castle. I found some stairs and walked down them, they had a wall on each side but the walls were far enough apart that I couldn’t touch both walls at the same time. When I got to the bottom of the stairs it opened to the foyer I’d seen from above. I hadn’t noticed how cold the floor was till I stepped onto the marble floor. Looking up I saw that there was another floor above where I had been. There was also a sky light, it was decorated with gold trimmed flowers and pink petals. I focused back on the hall way ahead of me. I started to walk down it seeing several doors and nothing but marble floor. Then something darted across the hall, I froze. I started walking again and when I got to the 4 way hall crossing I looked around the side, no one was there. I started to walk again wondering who it could have been. I walked down a hall and started hearing some grunts and smacks. One of the doors that  was in the hall was open. I peeked around the corner into the room. It was the guy that had attacked me when I had became a vampire and the other guy that was in the room. Guy 1 was hitting a punching bag and guy 2 was standing near by. Suddenly the first guy stopped hitting the bag and looked in my direction and I felt my heart stop for a second. I backed away from the door but he was already at it by the time I took 1 step back. He was taller then I remembered and he was very muscular. His eyes staring down at me with his sweaty hair falling in his face. The memory of the house came back and I remembered how strong he had been even compared to me. I was frozen, looking up at him. Then very quietly he said “you shouldn’t be down here” I was still frozen and didn’t know what to say. He sighed and reached out, I flinched back. He put both his hands on my shoulders. I swear my heart was beating so hard he could hear it. Then he released me and said “go back to his room” I was still very scared and didn’t want to move. he sighed again and turned me around and started pushing me lightly, not forcibly, towards the way I came. When he got me back to the stairs I turned back to him and looked at him in confusion. He looked away “I did what I did because you hurt Kaya” and with that he turned and walked away. I quickly ran up the stairs but bumped into Kaya. We stood there staring at each other. Then she kept going down the stairs and I ran up the rest of the way and into the bed room. Damien was there. Oh crap, I thought.
