Vampire Reign

Chapter 14: The Waking of Surr

Kate grabs Eleanor by her hair and pulls her to the statue laying still on a rock. "You will perform the spell now" Kate orders.

Eleanor giggles. "I'm not performing any spell... because magic won't work on this"

Kate knelt beside her. "What do you mean?"

Eleanor stands from the ground and walks closer to the statue. "He has been frozen for over a thousand years... a mere magic spell won't just bring him back"

Dave walks closer to them. "Ehm... I'm done here right?, Can I leave?" He asks pointing at the exit.

Seeing that they ignored him, he walks towards the exit. The instant he walks out of the exit, he flew back in crashing into Harold...

"Dave no..." Eleanor cried.

4 hours earlier.

Eleanor's apartment.

Eleanor pulls open the door to see Brian standing there. "What do you want?" She asks.

He smiles and waves. "I cannot visit a friend now?" He says, walking into the house.

She shuts the door and turns to him. "So why are you here?"

"I couldn't forget what I read from your 'false book'... so I've come to read more," Brian says, searching for the book.

"You can't just barge into my house, going through my things" Eleanor complains.

Brian ignored her and kept searching. "Vampires and witches. Huh... is that even real?"

Eleanor pours a glass of water for herself. "What do you know about vampires?" She asks.

The moment she turned back, Brian was in front of her gripping her neck. She instantly pushes him back with a magic spell which sends him flying across the room. "You're a vampire?" She asks.

"Guilty as charged"

She frowns as an inferno forms around him. "Why do you witches always do this?... It's getting outdated"

He runs out of the flame, sucking in the pain from the burn. He swiftly grabs her and runs out of the house.

Eleanor stands and gasps as she notices she was surrounded. "You can't win love," Brian says, smiling.

She raises her hand and points it at Brian, and the whole place became covered in smoke. "Where is she?"

Brian stopped to listen closely. "Gotcha..." he says, running after Eleanor.

It was night, so everyone is likely to be asleep and not know what is going on outside.

He chased her into the woods. "I know you're in here... I may not be able to sniff you out but I can surely hear your footsteps, and your heartbeat" he says, smiling.

Eleanor jumps down from a tree, with a stake in her hand. Brian tried to run but couldn't, it was like his leg was glued to the ground.

She lands in front of him and stabs the stake in his chest. "Argh... You missed"

"I wasn't aiming for your heart... " she says, pushing it deeper in.

Brian groans, still not able to move any part of his body. "I hate you, witches"

"The feeling is mutual," Eleanor says.

"I thought you said the witches' beef was with the first vampires only..."

Eleanor sighs. "That was in the 700s... time moved on, and people change"

The year 730

It all started in the year 730, the witches were celebrating another year of freedom in Bahel. The town was built after the downfall of the first vampires.
