I have no idea how long I was out but when I woke up it was not the scene I imagined. I thought I would be in a dungeon with chains covering me. I was right about the chains but I was lying in a silk covers bed with chains only on my ankles and they were long enough that I could walk around.

I went to the mirror on the wall beside the bed and checked the wound on my head but it was already healed. I was always a fast healer, came in handy when you did what I do for a living.

I was looking around the room trying to figure out how to get myself out of this one, when one of the guys from last night came into the room.

“Hey how are you feeling?” He asked as he went and sat on the bed.

I was standing as far away from the bed as I could when I answered, “Oh I feel like a sprinkled covered cupcake. Now who the fuck are you and what the hell am I doing here?”

“My name is Kaleb Santiago, and you are here because we caught you sneaking around one of our places and wanted to know why?” Kaleb said.

“I don’t know why I was there, I was just supposed to get the lay of the land, tell them what I saw and shit like that. I don’t know why they wanted it I just do what I am told no questions asked.” I replied calmly.

“Who wanted you to scout out the house?”

“I don’t know, anonymous client, I was just told by my superiors to go so I went, end of story. I have a question for you, what the fuck are you?”

“Trust me when I say you don’t want to know,” He said standing up from the bed and started to head towards the door.

“Oh no you don’t buddy,” I said getting in front of him, “I answered your questions as best as I could now you owe me something, what the hell are you? I mean bullets bounced off of you, I hit you with a car and not even a scratch just a totalled car. Now tell me what the fuck are you.”

“Once again I tell you that you don’t want to know,” He tried to get around me but I caught him by surprise when I kicked his feet from under him and them straddled his waste.

“Tell me what you are NOW!!!” I yelled. He tried to worm his way out but it wasn’t working and I had no idea how I was keeping him there but whatever it was I was glad for it.

“What the fuck!!” He shouted back at me, “I am a vampire okay now just get the fuck off of me!!”

I did get off of him; I just went and sat on the bed. He got up and then quickly exited the room. I just sat there and thought. I mean a vampire, that would sure explain the speed and the strength but they couldn’t be real. And if he was a vampire how the fuck did I keep him pinned??

I don’t know how long it has been since I was brought here, I got a meal every day and I would eat a little bit of it every day, just enough to keep my strength up. No one has come in here since Kaleb left and I was going crazy just sitting in this fucking room.

My best guess is that another week had passed; I managed to get the shackles around my ankles undone; now I have them on loosely so they didn’t get to suspicious of me. I was sitting there when I heard someone outside of my door.

I took the shackle off and stood in front of the door. I was about half way open when I kicked it with all the strength I had in me. It hit the person and knocked them back. Using this to my advantage I ran out of the room as fast as I could and never once looked back.

I ran into a random hallway and there was a chick there dressed in leather and had multiple weapons on her. She stopped me and told me to follow her. I was running out of options so I just followed her.

We ran and she must have found a secret switch because the wall became a doorway and we ran through it. We stood there for a while trying to catch our breath.

“Thanks I owe you one,” But just as I said that she had me pinned to the wall with a knife at my throat, “Or not.”

“Who or what are you?” she asked pushing the knife a little closer to my throat.

“My name is Chayla Kindridge or Chay for short, and I am a human assassin. I was captured by these guys and I just recently broke out of my room and that is when I ran into you,” I said planning away to get out of this should she not believe me.

“How did you get out of your room, no one can escape from them,”

“Well, I am no one for one thing, and I don’t know I guess I caught them off guard. I got the shackles off and when they were trying to open the door I kicked it and whoever it was fell over and I ran out of there.” She must a believed me because she took the knife off of my throat and put it back in the sheath.

“Come with me there are some people that I want you to meet,” she said and began walking again with me following close behind her.

“What are you doing here?” I asked her because I hate silences, I know bad quality for an assassin but hey I’m not perfect.

“I am here with a group of people that are trying to bring down the vampire hierarchy, what you don’t understand is that you are in the middle of a war.”

“A war between who, exactly?” I asked wanting to get all of my information.

“It’s kind of complicated; there are no two real definite sides. There are vampires against vampires and lycan against vampire and lycan against lycan. Everyone seems to be fighting everyone in this war.”

“What started it?”

“It’s been going on so long that no one really knows how or why the whole thing started but right now they want to take down the royals of the vampire. Hurry we are almost there.” She said as she picked up the pass.

We emerged from the tunnel in a forest that was not far from the place where I was being held. Standing in the clearing was about twenty hooded people. Some I could tell were much bigger than others. When we stepped into the clearing they all stopped and looked at me. One by one they began to pull off their hoods and reveal their faces.

“Creepy, this isn’t the part where you kill me now is it, because I am sure I could go back and they would happily do that for me,” I said pointing back the way we came.

“Relax we are not going to hurt you, actually we are here to help you, as much as you are here to help us. Come on we have lots to talk about.” He said taking my hand and leading me away.
