Immortal Bite

Chap 14: Broken

Piper:

Donny was screaming once again in my arms and I could feel the helpless tears streaming down my face. I can't get him to stop. I've tried everything: rocking, back pats, lullabies, feeding, checking his makeshift diaper (my shirt, since I was wearing a singlet underneath). Nothing is working.

The Vampires are easily angered by Donny's screaming. They hate it because it hurts their ears. But ever since Slade's growl cut through the air in here like thunder, they've been upstairs frantically watching and waiting for an attack.

Doesn't mean we're safe down here.

"Donny, quiet for mummy." I begged my son pleadingly trying to ignore the agonising pain in my heart from being separated from Slade. Donny's screams seemed to only increase in volume. I've never felt more helpless.

I heard commotion upstairs and pulled Donny closer to my chest protectively. It didn't sound good.

Someone suddenly appeared inches from my face and I reeled back in horror.

Vampire.

"Lycan Queen, are you fit to move?" The Vampire, a female, asked me hurriedly glancing anxiously over her shoulder and I shrunk back further into the wall. My legs acted as a barrier between us.

"Who the hell-"

"We don't have time for questions, milady." She hissed angrily at me as her eyes flickered with a tinge of red. I tensed up immediately waiting for her attack and she closed her eyes tightly, "I'm not like them. I'm here to help you." She insisted desperately as she shifted on her feet nervously and glanced over her shoulder again.

"Why?" I asked her suspiciously feeling myself relax only slightly, mostly due to the fact Donavon has finally stopped shrieking in my ears. He was staring at her with a blank expression and clenching his tiny fists together.

"Because I cannot allow these monsters to rule the world. Chaos and war will ensue and millions will perish in their desire for glory. I cannot bear the thought of it." She whispered tightly to me glancing down at Donavon when he made a gagging sound. She smiled faintly at the sight of him before looking back up into my eyes again. "We need to leave now while they're distracted. Tell me you are fit to move." The girl demanded fiercely and I slowly nodded in confirmation so she grabbed my arm and heaved me to my feet. I forget how strong Vampires are, and she's no exception. I felt my knees give out under the sudden weight of me and the girl quickly draped an arm over her shoulders.

She's smaller than I am.

"Who are you?" I asked her in confusion as she slowly dragged me through the dungeon constantly looking over her shoulder.

"My name is Karla." She answered me slowly and my mind brought forward the memory of Kaden wanting to marry and mate with a girl named Karla. She's Nathan's sister. The sister Kaden was going to send my dead body to as a marriage proposal.

She can't be that Karla, can she?

"Would Kaden have an unhealthy desire to...marry you?" I asked the girl slowly eyeing her closely and she grimaced at my words before sighing heavily.

"He believes that we'll rule powerfully side-by-side. He's a psychopath." Karla informed me in a dry voice as she pursed her lips angrily and I began struggling to escape her hold. My arm automatically pulled Donny's small body close to mine and Karla gave me a frustrated look.

"I will not-" My cry of anguish was silenced when a loud crash sounded from upstairs and Karla stilled instantly with wide eyes. I glanced over my shoulder before gasping when she suddenly shoved me down the hall before pushing me through a small gap between the stone walls. I could barely fit in here.
