He calls Me Princess

The Attack

I had 2 days to come up with a plan to save her. Now I have just one. But my plan is made up and Aana is with our grandma. I'm dressed in my normal attire, black ripped jeans cover my legs and a black sleeved, grey shirt shows off my arms, matched with a black pair of boots and some black sunglasses

I start my journey to the warehouse. I've only ever been there for a couple important meetings.

I've been in this gang since birth. My dad was in the gang and if you're born by a gang member, you are a gang member. I never had a choice, never had a chance. It's funny, I never wanted to be a part of this mess. But after a while, I became accustomed to the violence and the odd tasks and the innocent humans dying for us to eat And just for entertainment. And I learned to ignore that itching, nagging feeling in the back of my brain the told me it was wrong. But once I met her, I knew for sure that this had to stop. I told them I wanted out. But there's only one way out of a gang.

Death.

I shivered at the thought. I knew, that death was inevitable when it comes to leaving. But I didn't care. As long as I lived. My jaw tensed at the thought of the bloodshed that was about to take place and it was all my dad's fault. All I know is, I want out.

"John." I growl as I see him standing at the entrance. All of his bruises and cuts from the fight are healed and it's more than kind of disappointing.

"Alex." he barks in return.

"Let me through." I demand.

"You're not exactly on the entrance list. But you are on the hit list."

We have a stare down and silently size each other up. But he refuses to back down. So I pick through his memories bringing back the fight at the school without saying a word. He visibly tenses and twitches at the memory I keep replaying.

"Get out of my fucking head!! Just go." he screams in frustration with his hands at his ears.

As I walk past the pitiful bouncer, annoyance grips me.

Just a few meters in front of me, the woman I loved is tied to her sister with a gag in her mouth and salty tears dripping from her eyes. She has bruises and cuts all over her body, some fading and some still fresh. Anger pulled at every one of my nerves as I looked helplessly at her. She doesn't notice me as I walk in.

"Onyx?" I whisper, quieter than leaves rustling on grass.

Her head snaps up and a smile creeps on to her face, triggering my toothy grin. "Shh." I warn, pressing a finger to my lips. "I'm sorry it has to be like this. But I can't die. You are going to sacrifice yourself to save me. I did love you, I really did, but now I need an escape route. You are that escape route. You should be honoured, really. You're saving a life much greater than yours."

Her smile fades as she listened to me. The tears coming from her eyes overwhelming herself.

"John!" I call out. 

"What do you want?" he snarls.

"I wanna be the one to kill it."

His eyes widen and his lower jaw practically smacked his neck at my sudden change in behaviour. "Seriously?"

"When is the Boss coming?" I question, ignoring his shocked expression.

"Plans changed up, he'll be here in an hour. You sure you wanna do this?"

"You questioning me?" I spit.

"No. Not at all. Just a bit confused."

"I'm going to the bunks. Let me know the moment he gets here. I wanna be the first to give him the good news."

I walk away from a still crying Onyx and shell-shocked John.

~~~1 hour later~~~

I hear the heavy, metal warehouse door slide open and shut, then padlocks click into place. I slide off the bed, excited for what lay ahead.

The whole gang is here. About 43 people. I don't know any of them besides John. When the Boss comes in, I realize I know him. He's my height and weight, but we're bigger than the rest of the members by a few inches and much stronger.

"Everyone," he starts, his voice so deep it rattles the very structure of the building, "I know what you're all thinking. 'Where have you been all this time?' well, I've been in jail. I won't lie to you. I was sentenced to life behind bars, but an eternity in jail just didn't sound like fun. I came here to finish what I started. 10 years ago today, I murdered my wife. She was a human and gave me half breed children. I hated her for it, still do. We had 2 daughters. Onyx & Amethyst. I wasn't able to get to them that fateful night simply because I wasn't in the mood to show my abilities to those useless officers so I turned myself in, but today, today I finish the task of eliminating my mistakes. We don't want half breeds. We want full fledged vampires! But, I am fair." he slowly made his way to the 2 sobbing girls before us. "Hello my disappointments. Today is the day your life will change forever, or end. The choice is yours. You will either become full vampires, or die half breeds. The choice is yours."

"Excuse me?" I chime in from the back.

"What?" he bellows.

"Can I kill one? The little curly haired one. Its kind of a vendetta I have. I owe her one." I say making my way up front.

He smiles a delighted smile that I return. "What if someone else wants to kill one? Why do you deserve to murder one if my children?"

"Fine. Does anyone else want to kill the half breed?" I ask.

17 hands shoot up.

"Great. Line up and we can fight one on one. If you can beat me, you get the opportunity to kill her." I smirk.

16 hands fall. The last one is pulled down by a good friend of theirs who didn't want them hurt.

"So do I get to kill her, Boss?" I ask eagerly, ready to proceed.

"I suppose. Go ahead." he hands me a small, sharpened knife. I cut the rope that covered her like nothing and grab the shaking girl from the floor. I accidentally cut my hand, discretely and purposely cutting her wrist and dropping a large amount of my blood into hers. She screamed and fell to the floor. I licked my hand and the cut began to close. She slowly stopped screeching and layed there still and stiff. Boss smiled right before I slit his throat and ripped his head off. That's when anarchy broke loose.

I did it. I killed him. Unfortunately, I'm Immediately attacked by a wave of angry gang members. I block punches and kicks. Slowly my anger level rises and my full vampire comes out. Ripping heads from bodies and flinging them in opposing directions. Soon enough everyone is dead and I go back to my regular self. Drained and tired, I hurry to check on her. "Princess?"

Soft groans escape her lips. I check her wrist and see nothing. It worked. It worked. "What happened Alex?" she asks groggy.

"Your dad, the boss, was gonna kill you. But he's dead. Its ok. You're ok."

"What did you do to me?" she looks at me horrified.

"I..I turned you into a full vampire.. You were a half breed."

Her eyes widen and She shoots up, inspecting her body as if she's expecting herself to look different somehow. Then she just bawls.

I say nothing but reach for her and hold her close. "STOP!!" she suddenly screams. "John is gonna get away!"

I whip my head around and let her go. He panics and grabs the 2 things closest to him. A knife......

And Amethyst. Fuck.
