Forbidden Love

Chapter 21

Her loud cry could be heard all over. Rich dark blood was trickling and oozing nonstop down her neck and onto her dress, drenching it.
"You Lunatic! Fuck man, let go of her Damn it!" Kevin couldn't keep silent anymore as he watched his friend being tortured right in front of his eyes.
No one paid attention to him. The other two vampires kept their strong grip on him not allowing him to move at all.
Sean pulled back, blood dripping down his fangs. His eyes were as large as saucers. He stood still, speechless.
Saera's hand reached out to her wound, trying to stop the blood from gushing out, but the wound was too deep and wouldn't stop soaking her hand and fingers with her own blood.
Kevin fell to his knees at the sight of Saera. He didn't know what was going on anymore. Either he was dead or trapped in a nightmare he couldn't escape.
"Va.. Vampire.." The word escaped his dry lips.
Sean could care less. His mind was swirling at the moment.
" What's going on? Your... Your blood. It's, so rich and mouth watering. Such a delicious taste. I've never tasted something so incredible my entire life!" He didn't waste a single moment, he sank his fangs into her skin once more.
The pain was unbearable. Tears streamed down Saera's face. She pleaded and begged him to let go. She tried shoving him aside but he was too strong.
The two friends of Sean were too engrossed in what was happening in front of them. Kevin too watched in horror, unable to pry his eyes off of this grotesque scene. Neither payed attention to the furious Vampire standing just a few feet away from them.
His heavenly golden eyes, had turned a bloody crimson red. His white teeth bared, the canines grown to unbelievable length and sharpness. They were the fangs of a predator!
He let out a loud growl, that of a vicious animal. It sent shivers down Kevin's spine.

Sean removed his fangs from Saera's neck and turned around to see what the noise was. He didn't have time to move. Time to think.
The beast was right before his eyes.
Derek with just a light punch sent Sean flying to the other side of the alley. He crashed on the wall and dropped to the ground. His eyes were wide open with fear.

Derek was panting hard. His back rising and falling to his fast breathing. One would be a fool to miss the anger and hatred in his eyes. He bared his fangs at the remaining two vampires who had rushed to helped out their friend.

Saera could not stand anymore. The strong grip Sean had had on her holding her in place was no more. Her feet gave away and she fell back onto the hard ground. Blood was still pouring out her wound. She was losing too much. Her eyelids were getting heavier and droopy by the minute. Her breath came out in ragged gasps.
I can't give up. Not right now. I've got to help Derek somehow. Even if it costs my life!
she lifted her blood drenched hand and tugged Derek's dusty jacket from the back. He turned his head back with a snarl, ready to pounce at whoever it was. But he was in for a shock.
He dropped to his knees, clutching Saera's hand between his own. His eye were back to its original color.
"It's okay. Saera look, you'll be fine. I promise. Hang on... Please!"

The other vampire, known as Cole tried attacking Derek while he was distracted. Bad move. Derek's reflexes and senses were too strong and fast. He caught Cole by the throat and squeezed it so hard, blood spurted out his lips. Then he threw him aside like he weighed nothing. He turned his eyes back to Saera.
"Derek... Drink.. Drink my blood. You're.. Y-You're getting too weak." She was right. He could barely keep holding her hand. The last attack on Cole had took every bit of strength he had.
But no matter what, he would never drink her blood. Taking even a little bit of her blood, surely would risk her life. But the smell of her pure blood was so intoxicating. It was like a drug he was addicted to. Memories of the night he had filled his mouth with her blood flooded his mind.
No! I will not give into my selfish desires! He thought as he shook his head furiously to clear his thoughts.
Saera wasn't making it any easier for him. She gripped his hand, looking at him with pleading eyes.
"I'm begging... You. Let me... Help you.." That was all the convincing he needed.
Unintentionally he dived into her inner thoughts. They were filled with memories of her family, friends from her old school, her new friends but what shocked him most was that a bigger part of her thoughts were of him!
He could not let her die. Not now. Not ever!
Derek lifted her head slowly and brought her closer to him. His fangs had crept out of its sheaths by now due to the strong smell of blood.
Derek's face was scrunched with worry seeing Saera's delicate neck in a bloody mess.
He slowly lowered his head and sank his fangs into her already present wound. He was so gentle she barely felt the pain.
At once the goodness and richness of her blood filled his mouth. He brought her closer to him pressing her body against his. More... More... I want more! Derek thought as he greedily gulped down her blood without pulling back to take a breather. He felt his senses become more sharper. His strength deprived body rippled with power. His beautiful golden eyes turned crimson.
Derek felt something cold. Dead cold on his hands. Not wanting to stop consuming the rich nectar he continued without stopping. But the coldness got stronger and stronger by the minute. With a grunt of annoyance he pried his eyes open and looked down, and what he found made him stop sucking.
There lying motionless and pale as a ghost was the girl he had lost his heart to in this century.
With a loud cry he pulled back and quickly checked for her pulse. It was still beating. But barely.
Shit. He couldn't believe he had lost his mind at such a critical situation. A little more of consuming her blood and her souls would have left the world. Forever.
Derek took off his jacket and draped it over Saera's cold body. He tore his T-shirt and tied it across her neck to stop the bleeding. Placing a gentle yet firm kiss on her forehead he then turned back to face his enemies once again. Rivals from his own race. Comrades who were supposed to look out for each other, now on opposite sides.
And that's when hell broke out.
