Vampire Romance Novel; Trial and Error

Atropos POV

It was sick. Sick, disgusting, and vulgar for someone to do this, especially to Caesar.

The poor boy was probably freaking his top off. Plus it doesn't help he is only two-hundred fifty-six. Like really? He is still a baby within my eyes.

I don't know how much time pasted since I received the letter. The only thing I was sure of was that Caesar was kidnapped and I had to do something. After all it was my fault for bring him into this.

'Awe stupid good luck charm! You just had to go and get yourself kidnapped huh?' I cursed and mentally groaned at his lack of intelligence. I mean its not like he was dumb or anything he just didn't use his brain half the time.

Pressing my palms to my temples I shake my head in attempt to shake the thoughts away.

"When was the last time you fed?" A strong powered voice asked.

Giving the person a shrug I continue to stare at the floor to summon up a plan.

"No offense A but you look like shit. Your hairs losing its color, your face has sunken and paled, while you body figure slumps and drags around." The muscular voice quickly states.

"Well I'm so sorry I don't keep my appearance up when my friend and a member of my clan has be taken!" I snap up at the stranger. "So do me a favor and fuck off!"

At that moment I felt my transformation take place. My eyes burned with black orbs, my canine teeth grew down past my bottom lip towards my chin, all while my face snapped and cracked moving into the pale monster that I was destain to become.

"Woah! Chill out! I didn't mean to wind you up." The stranger mutters and takes a step back. "Uhh well? My names Drake... Drake Vanguard." He offers me a strained smile, in which I don't return.

"Why are you here?" Quickly standing up so I don't have to look up upon him. "Why aren't you taking care of your clan? As I recall I was the only one summoned to attend this meeting."

He quickly shift from foot to foot. Right. Left. Right. Left

"Well actually due to harsh measurements I had to relocate my clan down about four miles from here. I also heard about the high mighty Atropos being here so I went looking myself."

"Interesting" I scoff and turn away.

"So about that hunt? You want to join me? I do know the best places."

"Sure" I respond in a blank monotone.

He claps his hands like a child and leaves the room looking back to see if I was following, in which I was unfortunately doing.

"Hey don't be so uptight were about to get mountain lion!" Drake screeches out burning my delicate ears.

"Yeah, whatever just walk."

Half an hour later

Drake led me to a beautiful wide-open field with various of wild flowers sparkling the area, along with a rock cliff to my right as a waterfall falls off the edge.

It was already noon with the sun high up in the sky. 'We must hurry before night falls' the wind howled in my ear.

My body stung as my breath was heavy, yet, we kept walk up the small hill.

"You don't do this often." He muttered just loud enough so I could hear.

Stopping and clinch my fist I lunge at Drake hitting his boney chin. He swiftly grabs me and brings me down so my backs against the ground. He than covers my mouth with his boney fingers, they smell of wood and blood.

Moving his hand with an angry growl as he retracts his teeth. "Shh you smell that?" 

Stopping myself from being angry I sniff. "It's what we came for"

A wicked smile appears on Drakes face the light hitting his face causing the scars to shin from his hair, which was over his eyes.

The smile was evil as he couches down pushing over a rock. The fallen boulder smashes into the beast.

Drake looks at me his gray/black hair moving in the wind. "I want a good fight." He muttered as his teeth retracted.

I retract mine as Drake grabs the beast by the ribs cutting into it. Time freezes as i realise were fighting causing me to jump on its back sinking my teeth into its neck.

It takes me a moment but i find its main vein and tear it open causing its blood to pour out on the ground.

With Drake flipping the beast on its back to rip at its stomach I am flung to the ground.  Landing with a thud my vision gets fuzzy.

"Ow, damnit." I slur out as I try to stand making my vision clear. My mind whirls with thoughts as I see Drake has the beast on him.

The mountain lion naws on his arm causing me to react quickly. Jumping up and wrapping my arms around the lions throat I twist hearing a crack and a soft pop. Its head now laying on the bloody ground.

Drake laughs as he is covered in blood with hair damp with blood. He also has a smile while he kicks the now deceased lion. "Good work Atropos." He booms loudly.

I smile and help him up we clean his wound with the near by waterfall.

My head pounding as I wash the blood off of myself while Drake cleans his bloody arm.

"Well time to eat." I hear myself say
