i woke up in an old wooden stable. well thats what it looked like anyway. it must have been run down for years. all the features like pegs on the wall had either been worn down or had fallen off and some of the wood from the walls had caved in or began to rot away. i went to get up but i had one of my feet tied to something. i still got up anyway and looked around as much as i could before i heard footsteps and laughter.
nice to see your awake miss hollows.
where the hell am i?
it can be anywhere you want it to be.
haha funny tell me where this... place, is
now, why would we tell you.
well why not. i cant exactly run can i?
fair point but if you cant do anything with that informations whats the point in it?
fine next question. who are you?
you think were going to tell you?
yes.
HAHAHA! how cute. anyway we have to go now that will probably be your family calling. tah tah.
with that they walked away and out the front of the building. if you could call it that. i saw what looked to be a roof of a house but i wasnt quite sure. my view was obstructed by trees so i couldnt see if the roof of a house or an old warehouse or anything else for that matter.
**********************hours later***********************
it was getting dark now so god knows how long id been out here. i was starving but there was just nothing to eat. I could hear footsteps but I didn't care I just wanted out. I went to speak but my mouth was covered. Not by one if the men I had previously seen, but another that looked only a couple of years older than me.
They can't know I'm here. I brought you some food.
what's in it?
nothing it's just food. If it tastes bad just tell me. It's cheap stuff I've had to steal from the fridge. It's the best I could do. Sorry.
Don't be. You brought me food haha.
With a taste of the food it was revolting. It must have been old or something but normally I'm used to cheap crappy food, after all that's all I can really afford at the moment.
Sorry I don't think I can't eat it.
His face dropped as if he'd seen a ghost. But he faked a smile and got a flask of something with a straw. He handed it to me.
Drink this its not much but it should keep you going.
What is it?
Its a family delicacy secret recipe.
With that still curious I took the flask and looked at it curiously before taking a sip. I could see him whoever he was looking at me anxiously. When the drink hit my lips I was instantly refreshed. It tasted sweet and savoury at the same time. It was wired, I'd never tasted anything like this before and I was craving more.
Wow, this is good. Your going to have to tell me the recipe....
Oh uh vlade
I'm scarlet but you can call me whatever you like.
He seemed in a daze of worry. Had I done something. Did he hear something bad. Was someone coming?
Uh I've got to g but ill be back later.
with that he left in a hurry and i was once again on my own. about an hour later in what looked like black smoke apeared two fingures in hooded capes and black clothing.
well you are a pretty one arent you?
what? who are you
oh us dear you dont need to worry about us until later we are just here to pass on a message.
what im confused what-
he will come for you. he will find you and we have warned you that if he finds out that you are what they say they are, he will destroy you.
black smoke filled the air and they disapeared into it. i woke up. it must have just been a wierd dream right? vlade was there with the two men and an older man who looked to be in his 40's.
boys what have i told you about doing this! you cant just leave your dead bodies here-
shes waking up!
boys what have you done
we were hungry
yeah well you didnt just drink her blood did you
what the hell are you on about vlade?
come on what do you think im on about
the older man looked shocked as did the two other males who instantly un tied me and picked me up over one of their shoulders and started walking somewhere.
put me down! where am i going! tell me what the hell is going on!
he put me down and we were outside i huge house which was surrounded by trees and hills. the older man guestered for me to walk in. there were wooden doors which opened to a warm hallway.
if you follow me we need to have a talk while the boys go away and do something productive for a while.
the two men and vlade ran up the stairs and the older man walked into a living room which was very modern and welcoming. he sat down on the couch and guestured me to sit next to him. i did i mean what worse could happen.
right o i know this might seem a bit weird but-
a bit! ive been kidnapped and then your acting all weird saying something about drinking my blood what the hell this is messed up!
well you know those old tales about blood sucking vampires? they're true
haha very funny. you know you should get some help
just look in the mirror if you dont believe me
i stood up and walked over to a mirror on the wall opposit me. sure enough my skin was pale and my eyes were aqua blue where they had previously been brown. and my hair a dark cherry red.with natural curls. my lips matched my hair.i opened my mouth to see perfectly straight teeth with two fangs pokng out. i touched them and pricked my finger. but no blood poured out. i felt dizzy and fell but the older man caught me as i fell into a sleep.
i woke up with a towel folded up across my chest and another covering myhips to the middle of my thigh only just covering the essentials. it looked like i was in a hospital ward the room was white and had all this medical equipment like needles and cotted and surgery knives. it should scare me but it didnt as much as my reflection in the mirror did. but that must have just been a dream, right?
