The Monsters In The Night

Chapter 6

He Dashed Through The Forest His Heart Pumping,Sweat Dripping Down From His Forehead Finally Getting The Burst Of Exhilaration He Needed,He Would Twirl Around In The Leaves The Red Moon Shining Down On Him As A Wide Grin Spread Across His Face His Arms Streched Out As He Twirled, The Air Smelt Fresh And Got Him To A High Amount Of Joy The Adrenaline Coursing Through His Viens,As He Explored Growing Fonder To The Forest Getting To Know The Deep Roots Around Him Venturing Further Into The Great Unknown.

Raymond Stumbled , Stupid Vines He Thought To Himself As He Got Up Acting Like Nothing Had Happened..Wait..Where Was He..He Looked Around Seeing A Beautiful Castle The Moon Illuminating It In Ghoulish Red Light, It Was A Mix Of Dark Colours , Black Tiles And Window Frames And Front Doors Which Stood Out With The Shady Grey Bricks. The Castle Looked Prehistoric,Vines And Moss Ingraved Into The Walls , It Had Its Own Special Garden Filled With Prickly Thorns And Exquisite Collage Of White And Red Roses, Raymond Could Never Imagine Such A Beautiful Sighting It Was Like He Was In A Dream..Only Not As Twisted And Ruthless As The World Was. It Was Even Surrounded By Tall Bushes Of Leaves And An Arch Leading Onto A Pathway Of Stepping Stones. Which Seemed To Directly Lead To The Castles Entrance.

Raymond Felt A Warm Tingling Feeling In His Body As He Stepped Onto The First Few Stones,Taking His Steps Cautiously Waiting For Something To Pop Out Of The Dark Crevices. He Approached A Bridge Made Of What Looked Like Strong Oak,But As He Got Closer He Saw It Was Broken The Wooden Splinters Sticking Out Quite Noticeably. Raymond Jumped Over It With Ease He'd Be One Step Closer To The Castle It Was Easier Then Expected..Or So He Thought Before A Voice Spoke Out From Behind Him Alarmingly.

''And..What Are You Doing Here.?''

Raymond Froze.
All He Could Think Of Was How Similuar That Voice Was To The Vampire He Fought Off Atleast A Few Days Ago.He Didn't Dare Turn Around His Heart Pounding In His Chest His Breathes Becoming Quick And Fast Before Dashing Into A Sprint Heading Faster In The Direction Of The Castle Not Even Sure Where He Was Heading.

''HEY!! Come Back Here You Vermin Scum !!''
The Strange Voice Bellowed Across The Spacious Grounds Before Raymond Headbutted Straight Into Something Harshly, He Stumbled Back Holding His Head As He Looked Up To See A Boy Who Looked About The Same Age But Much More Muscular. Where The Hell Did He Come From?!
He'd Suddenly Stop Staring Directly At His Eyes And Mouth Seeing Two Razor Sharp Fangs And Bright Eyes. He'd Just Panic Suddenly Stepping Back But Found Another Person Standing Behind Him Bumping Straight Into Them Aswell .

He Was Trapped Inbetween The Two Of Them..This Was The End Wasnt It? He Was Going To Die Alone..

''Father What Are We Going To Do With This One?''

Raymond's Eyes Were Filled With Panic His Eyes Glossy And Wet, His Body Trembled His Face Being Carved By His Fear His Lips Also Trembling , Just The Thought Of Being Devoured Made His Stomache Turn. Even Feeling Their Raspy Breathe Made His Panic Arise With Ease.

''Father Is He Okay.?..His Lip Is Trembling..''

The Being Behind Him Alarmingly Pulled Raymond By The Back Of His Neck Tilting His Head Back Watching The Fear In Raymonds Shiny Green Eyes.

''I-Its You-''
Raymond Spluttered, It Was The Guy From A Few Nights Ago..The Guy Who Tried To Murder Him..

''It Is..''

''Father Who Is This?''

The Man Turned His Attention To His Son Looking Toward Him.

''Nobody..''

Raymond Was Then Thrusted Forward By The Man Hitting The Boys Chest Violently , So Violently Raymond Had To Hold Onto The Boy For Support.

''Do What You Please With This...Intruder..I Have Business To Attend To.''

And As Raymond Looked Over Back At The Man He Evaporated To A Small Black Fog On The Floor Drifting Off Having A Dark Trail Following Him.And He Was Left Standing There In The Arms Of A Boy He Didnt Even Know.

Raymond Was Quick To Nudge Him Away Looking At Him Trying To Be Brave But His Face And Body Refused To Hide His Fear.He Didnt Know What To Do If He Ran Or Stayed Then He'd Be Killed..

''So.. What's Ya Name?''

Raymond Hesitated Not Wanting To Respond But Thought Of The Consequences.

''Raymond..Raymond Coy..But People Call Me Ray Sometimes..''

He Could Feel His Palms Grow Sweaty And His Body Becoming Hotter.

''Cool..Im Ace..Ace Vespirian And That Was My Father , Dominique Vespirian ''

Raymond Suddenly Felt A Calming Sensation But Told Himself Not To Feel At Ease Yet, Feeling He Couldnt Trust Him.

''Your Uhm..Nicer Then Other Vampires..''
Ace Looked At Raymond In Confusion Having A Confused Expression On His Face.
''What Make You Say That..?''

''Uhm.. You Haven't Tried To Kill Me?..''

Ace Suddenly Burst Out Into Laughter Bareing His Thorn Shaped Fangs His Laughter Echoing Through The Open Grounds.

''Your Funny.. Oh..! Quickly Now Suns Going To Come Out Soon!''

And With That Raymond's Wrist Was Clutched By Aces Firm Grip Dragging Him Into The Depths Of The Castle..Raymond Watched In Awe As Ace Softly Smiled Dragging Him Along..Why Did He Feel This Way..His Heart Felt As If It Was Melting..His Smile Was So Bright And Hopeful..He Could Feel His Face Twisting Into A Rosey Pink Colour Just Watching Him Was So Memorizing..

NO.Raymond Stopped Hes Just Doing This To Gain You Trust And Charm You Dont Fall For It. Raymond Thought To Himself As He Snapped Out Of It Focusing On His Escape Plan.
