A Darker Love

Chapter Twenty Two- No Escape

I opened my eyes to a harsh and heavy light above me, making my eyes burn and close again. The ground was hard beneath me and it felt like I had just been thrown down on it in a crumbled, unconscious mess. Where was I? The last thing I remembered was Shawn, Caleb's friend crying and telling me he was sorry. Why was he sorry? Then I remembered, he put something in my drink and gave me to some men. What men?

I finally got use to the light and then looked around me, I was in some sort of box room filled with junk and rusting objects in a cage or something. I tried to push myself up but my body was too heavy and I think I had a broken leg because it suddenly started to hurt like fucking hell. My head was ringing too, where the hell was I?

Then I heard voices and a door being opened and two men came in. One was short and stocky but the other walked in like he was the King, like everyone should bow down before him. He quickly shut the other guy up before I heard anything and then knelt down so he was at my level.

"Hello there." He smiled, it was the sort of smile that made a chill run down your spine.

"Where am I?" I groaned.

"All in good time, Sam. I must say your a very pretty girl, now I understand why Caleb has such a fascination with you." He reached out and stroked my hair, his eyes shining. "Very pretty indeed."

I dragged my body away from him. "Caleb? Where's Caleb?"

"He's on his way love, no doubt. Coming to rescue you from the big bad Mikel."

"Your Mikel?" I froze.

"So you've heard of me?"

I nodded.

"Good, then you know how much I hate Caleb and want to see him suffer."

"And that's why you have me? To hurt him?"

He laughed, it hurt my head. "Smart as well as pretty. Then you must understand that I'm going to have to kill you. I really wish I didn't have to, I really do but I really need him to suffer you see."

"Why? What's he done that's so bad to deserve you killing everything he loves?"

"He didn't tell you, did he? He tried to kill me, he spun me some story about his life that wasn't true to gain my sympathy and make me friends with him. I didn't even know his real name, he told me it was Abe then he killed my dear little sister. See, these things don't lie lightly with me and she was the only one I had left so I just can't help but want revenge."

He looked at me, dead in the eyes like her was searching fro something.

"I just feel sorry for you my dear, you still love him don't you? Your still blinded by his love? I just wonder how many lies he's told you to keep you at his side."

"Caleb would never lie to me, I'm sure he did that to you for a good reason."

"Too bad you won't have the time to ask him now." He walked away and felt me, beckoning the other men to follow him.

I scrambled about after they left, trying not to have a panic attack and trying to concentrate on finding a way out. I banged the bars with my good arm but they were solid. I looked around to see if they was anything I could use to pick the lock. I saw a table near the cage and saw a screwdriver on it, I seized this opportunity and dragged myself over to reach it. I stretched my arm out of a gap in the bars and tried to grab it but it was too far. I leaned out more, almost breaking my arm as well as my leg. Just a little further... Come on...

Suddenly the short stocky guy burst in and saw me.

"What the fuck are you doing?"

He saw the screwdriver and then grabbed my arm. I thought he was going to push it back in but he pushed it back the wrong way so it broke a bone. I screamed in pain and then dragged myself back, crying in agony.

"Now, are you going to behave or do I have to break the other one too?" He moved the table away like it was made of feathers.

"I'll behave." I said in a small voice.

He sat on a chair in the other corner of the room, he brought out a hospital bag full of blood and drank from it. He saw me staring at him and his face changed into a vampire's.

"I prefer drinking from the vein, but Mikel told me not to touch you." He walked over and licked his lips. "Shame."

I pressed my back up against the wall, getting further away from him and holding my broken arm. I started trembling as he walked back over to his seat, I really wanted to go home now. I wondered how I'd got here, a couple of weeks ago I was just a normal girl with normal friends and a normal life but now I was stuck in a cage surrounded by vampires waiting for them to kill me.

Suddenly there was a heavy groan from upstairs and the guy stood up in confusion. He walked over to the door slowly and then put his hand on the handle. Then he was throw backwards, smacking into the table and falling heavily on the floor. Caleb walked in and stood over his body.

'Caleb?" I pushed myself up with my good arm.

"No, no! Please! No!" Caleb shoved his hand into his chest and ripped out his heart. His face turned grey as Caleb threw his heart across the room.

He ran over to me, eyes full of love and smiling happily. "Sam!"

He pulled off the door and walked into the cage, hugging me tightly. I winced as he touched my arm and started crying all over again.

"Can you stand up?"

"No, my leg and arm are broken."

He picked my up in his strong arms and carried me out of the basement. He sped out the house with me until we heard a groan and he stopped. He turned around and then we saw Shawn lying on the floor with Mikel pinning him down, Mikel suddenly grabbed his throat and then ripped off Shawn's head with Godly strength. Caleb sped out of the house before Mikel could catch up with us and then put me in a car, stepping on the gas pedal.
