Crimson Love

Chapter Thirteen

Unknown POV

I walked up to the cabin and looked in the window to see Xander, the human and Josh still fully knocked out on the floor. I was planning on killing Xander but maybe I would kill Josh too, though I had no use for Caroline anymore, so he wasn't really in the way.

I was surprised how easy it was to hire a mercenary online, though he was quite upset when I only paid him to knock them out instead of kill. I would have done it myself were I let inside. Stupid vampire boundaries and what not.

I watched closely as he knocked them all out, incorrectly knocking out Elizabeth as well. I scolded him, knowing it would anger him. I wasn't worried about him though, I could kill him easily. Once he brought the girl outside, I dismissed him. I could tell he was pretty ticked by me.

Using my supernatural speed, I left with Elizabeth resting on my shoulder. I ran through the woods using my senses to jump over or duck under trees. Soon enough another small cabin came into view. I must have run at least a few miles.

On the outside it looked just like another old rundown cabin but on the inside it was much different. The basement was an old laboratory and the beams were practically falling from the ceiling.

I took Ellie to the rotting basement and sat her in a chair. Taking some rope I wrapped it around her legs and arms. Didn't need my prey escaping before we got to have some fun.

Ellie's POV

I woke up in a dark room. The scent of mold and rotten wood filled my nose. I coughed, trying to get the dust out of my lungs. The air felt thick and stuffy. How had I ended up here?

As if on cue, someone stepped from the shadows, but it wasn't just someone, it was Michael. I would have shrunk back in fear, but I realized I was tied to a chair. This wasn't going to end well.

"Why am I here? What do you want with me? Why–"

"All will be revealed in due time, princess," he said, his red eyes luminous in the darkness.

"I'm not your princess," I snarled, trying to free my hands. "These ropes are digging into my wrists."

"I'll loosen them then. Wouldn't want my princess to get hurt, now would we?" As he leaned in to loosen the rope, I kicked him right in his crotch. He double backward in pain. I guess that worked, human or vampire.

"I said, I'm not your fucking princess!"

His red eyes deepened in color as he watched my intently. Licking his top lip, I could see his fangs. He smirked again, watching my reactions intently.

"You will learn to love me whether you want to or not. You will be mine, forever."

"I will never be yours, you cunt," I spat. I had no idea where my sudden bad language had come from, but I wasn't in the mood.

"Well someone has been studying their vocabulary. But I'm afraid that's inappropriate coming from a lady, so you must be punished."

Michael suddenly appeared behind me, having used his speed. I could hear the blood pumping through my ears; I was afraid.

He took a strand of hair hanging in front of my face and drew it past my neck placing it behind my ear.

"Don't fucking touch me," I growled tearing my head away from his grasp.

"Now, princess, you only tempt me more when you talk to me like that," He said in a commanding tone. I realized what he meant, and I immediately shrunk back, every ounce of confidence falling from my brain.
