Vampire Reign

Chapter 10: The Betrayal

Dave's POV

Eleanor lay me down on a couch. She quickly picks up a bowl of cold water and a cloth and places them on my forehead to cool me down.

After the cut, my body has been so hot and sweaty and my sight is becoming even more blurry. It is also getting difficult to hear clearly.

"W-Where am I?…"

"You're at my place… I couldn't take you to your place. Because I don't know where you live" she says, picking up a huge book.

"Are you reading?…"

She shakes her head. "I'm looking for the cure. I just need to search through these eight hundred pages of spell"

I remove the cloth from my forehead and sit up. "What was that anyways, it looked like a giant lizard"

"Trust me… you don't want to know about that" She says, still flipping through the pages.

My body suddenly became heavy. I could barely lift an arm. "Am I going to die?" I ask. "Cause right now I feel like I'm being drawn into a different world"

"No… you'll only become like those lizard-like creatures out there"

I smile as I look at her beautiful face. "Have I told you how beautiful you look?"

She chuckles. "It's just the poison speaking. It's making you say things you don't mean"

I shake my head in disapproval. "No… I mean it. I like you, Eleanor, since I met you there was this feeling- I can't… I can't just explain it" I say, still smiling.

She raises her head to look at me. "After I find the cure you won't remember anything you just said or did"

"I hope I remember. Admit it, Eleanor, you feel the same way… all the stalking, giving me your number instantly… inviting me on a date, admit it- you feel the same way, Eleanor"

"Found it…" She says, walking behind me.

She places her fingers on the cut and begins to chant the magic words. "I hope I don't forget thi-"

A cold tingle lingers in my neck and is instantly gone after a few seconds. "Oh my God… I thought I was gonna die" I say, tapping my neck to feel it all healed.

"How did I get here?"

"You are in my apartment," Eleanor says smiling.

"I know that… how did I get here? In your apartment?" I ask again.

"Long story…"

Meanwhile in Greenleaf high.

The other two mean girls, Alisa and Carol giggle as Poppy digs her fangs dip in the janitor's neck.

"Whoa Poppy, the man is old… you're gonna kill him," Carol says.

Poppy pulls back with blood dripping down her lips. "He has my blood in his system, if he dies… well he becomes a vampire," she says, leaning in again.

But got stopped in midair by… "Who the hell are you?"

"Oh, apologies. Don't mind my rudeness, I'm Ava… I heard whispers and I couldn't resist checking it out" the lady says, grinning mischievously.

Poppy turns to Carol and Alisa. They all smile to reveal their sharp bloody fang.

Carol swiftly charges at Ava. But Ava instantly stops her by putting her hand on Carol's face, making her not able to move again.

Ava twists Carol's neck in a split second. She falls to the ground motionless. Poppy's eyes widen. "Who are you?!" Alisa asks.

Ava smiles and pulls out a vial from her pocket. "You see… I've been looking for someone to do my dirty work for me, and lucky me- I found you" she says, extending the vial to them.
