When Darkness Falls

Chapter 32

Dan just continues his cold death stare towards the obviously twice as powerful vampire standing quite cockily in front of them. "So what the hell do you want from me?" He asks, voice stern and obviously not in a mood for putting up with Chris's shit.

Chris rolls his eyes and plops down in the nearest chair. "Well, Danny Boy, I had you created for a reason, obviously. If not for a reason, then why?" He holds out his hands in a questioning way. "Sit now you three. We all have plenty to talk about no?"

I go to obey his command. He is, of course, probably ten times stronger than me. Why would I not obey? But of course, Dan grabs my arm and pushes me behind him, causing me to roll my eyes in response. "Honestly, Dan. If you want answers you might as well listen to the guy."

But he just shoots me an irritated glare as if telling me to shut up.

"Philly here is right, you know. Listening and obeying is way easier than the other way. But then again.. I could always try the other way if that's what you'd prefer, Daniel." Chris tilts his head, cocking one of his eyebrows up questioningly at us both.

I'm not sure what the hell he means by that, but I'm sure it cannot be anything sightly good. Very powerful witch/vampire plus some ominous threat towards my boyfriend? No thanks.

With that in mind, I lean forward so that my lips are right next to Dan's ear. "Come on Dan. Just go sit down. He won't do anything to me or you if he obviously needs us."

Dan relaxes just a bit before shooting daggers back in the direction of Chris. "Fine. You have ten minutes." He reaches down and grabs my hand, tugging me in the direction of the couch right across from where Chris is sitting.

We both make eye contact. "Well, unfortunately, he's here Philly. No fun for us right?" Chris smirks slyly and bites down on his bottom lip again. I bet if he was still a human he'd have so many sores from how much he bites them.

My eyes go wide momentarily before shooting in some other direction, blush instantly filling my cheeks. In front of Dan? Really? Why does he have to flirt with me in front of my already obviously pissed off vampire boyfriend whose grip is getting noticeably tighter around my hand. "Uhm- D-Dan can you-"

He immediately loosens his grip sending me an apologetic smile before looking back at Chris. "Come on then. Tell me why you need me."

Zoe sits down in the chair farthest away from Chris, looking anxious as ever.

"Well since we're jumping straight into things. I killed your family, Dan."

Dan sits straight up, eyes blazing. I swear, the ruby irises of his have flames shooting out of them. In the flash of an eye, he's over by Chris, but before he can do anything to the powerful being, he's on his knees with his hands on each side of his head. "Ah! Stop it you fucki- AH!" He cries out, slamming his head on the ground.

"Stop it! What're you doing to him!" Every muscle in my body is straining to get up, but I know that I'll be met with the same fate.

"Its this quite handy trick of mine. You see, my mother was a very powerful witch, and when I was turned, she used her last bit of magic to pour into me. Now, when a witch becomes a vampire, they're usually only a vampire. The balance of nature doesn't mix well with being an abomination such as a vampire." Chris keeps his eyes fixated playfully on Dan as he still writhes in pain on the ground. "Anyways, we'll get into that later. What I'm doing to your boyfriend is an aneurysm. Right now all of his blood vessels in his brain are popping like tiny balloons."

My eyes widen in horror. "Please stop. Please he didn't- he was just acting on impulse please stop it." I shake my head frantically as I watch Dan's eyes close tightly, blood drips down his cheeks. And then all of a sudden he falls to the ground groaning in agony as he slowly starts healing again.
