Chapter 8: Prisoner

Chapter 8: Prisoner 

     My head was pounding when I awoke, only this time it wasn't from the after effects from the spell. I was in alone in a big dark room which started to spin each time I took a step. This was starting to take its toll on me as I was still recovering from yesurtday. I tried to find a light, but there was nothing. My pocket started glowing, this was now my only light. The necklace was reacting to something near by. Damn there was no way I was going to be able to escape, besides the fact I can barely stand up and that there is no light. The walls are lined with a magical barrier that is canceling all of the magic and magical items within the room. Normally one good strike from my arrow would blow a hole in the wall or door. But with things the way they are, I'm going to have to rely on my own strength.
     Strength that I don't have at the moment, strength that I never have when I needed it. How could I have let myself be captured so easily? I've used that spell countless time and with each use I gain a little resists to it. The little abilities I have, started to weaken about a month ago. It was at that same time I noticed something was changing from within me. At the time I though it was nothing or just another effect from spells I've been trying to master. Now I don't know what it is, only that I'm starting to have a craving for something. No, matter what I do or how much I eat this craving is still there. Sometimes its all I can think about. What is it that I want? I have to have it, no matter what. This is the craving I was starting to have right now.
    I fell to the floor as I was trying to push all other thoughts out of my head. The craving was stronger this time, everything was going black. The door to the room finally opened, this was my chance. If I could just get past the people guarding the door, my bracelet would work. Then I wouldn't have to worry about how weak I was right now. Unfortualy I was unprepared for the moment. With my vision blurted there was no chance of me fighting back. Someone grabbed me by my hair and pulled me up. "So this is the bitch that defeated Haijn. The half vamp-witch that is now nothing more then a low human everyone is talking about. How could you defeat someone as powerful as Hajin, when you can't even stand up?" I was thrown to against a wall, where I fell to the ground again. "If your really so powerful then stop us from killing you." Was the last thing he said before I was pulled up again and punched in the stomach.
      There was at least five guys in the room, four standing in the back as this one was enjoying my pain. At first I was to weak to even stand, but I found the strength within to stop the next punch. The strength came from rage and anger, "I…I'm not going to die here." I managed to say as I did a back flip and landed a powerful kick into the guys face. "You think just because I'm human that I can't kick your ass. I'll admit your boys over there caught me when I was at my weakest. But now you've pissed me off, no matter how weak I am. When I get pissed I gain new will, the will to beat the shit out of the one who pissed me off." The kick I landed before had broken the guy's nose and he was bleeding. The craving was gone as I was talking, but when I noticed the blood it came back. It was then that I knew what I had been craving all those weeks. It was blood….
