Chapter: 10 My Pleasure

*A quiet mind is able to hear intuition over fear.*

Anger and fear washed over me in waves. It battered against my soul and my beast raged on the inside. I felt as my canines shoved through my gums, the blood mixing with the taste of fear. My hand shot out of its own accord, wrapping around the leaches neck, not caring who saw. "Where. Is. She." My voice was raw, like I had just swallowed sandpaper.

I was no longer able to cage my beast and I knew the moment she surfaced just enough for my eyes to change. I could see not only the fear in his eyes but the reflection of my own. Globes of black soulless pits swirled with crimson red.

I yanked on his neck, pulling him down to me so that we were face to face. My lip curled back in a silent snarl, waiting for his answer. He would speak though, I knew it before I even asked. He was a lackey, bound by his creator, he was a tool but when he glanced up just for a second, I knew where they had taken her.

The VIP section was on the floor above us, it was secluded enough and I was pretty sure there were even some bedrooms up there for.. extra circular activities.

Applying supernatural speed and strength, I quickly reached up and snapped his neck then laid him down on the bar like he was just taking a nap. Which in all honesty, he kind of was. A broken neck wouldn't kill him and as much as I wanted to end his existence, I didn't have time to deal with the fallout of hundreds of humans witnessing a death.

Keeping my head low and hair partly covering my face, I pushed past the masses and quickly made my way to the stairs. Of course there was another bouncer at the top but thankfully I had the correct band. He stepped aside with a curt nod of his head to let me pass but I stopped just before him. "Blonde woman, slightly taller than me, flower dress. Where is she." I could feel my fangs clashing together each time I spoke, it was uncomfortable to say the least.

"Last door on the left." He reported in a stern voice. "Is everything okay ma'am?" He sound genuinely concerned and I feared if he heard any racket out of the norm, he might be inclined to check it out.

I locked my eyes with him and spoke. "Under no circumstances will you let anyone else up here and if you or anyone else hear anything out of the ordinary, you keep them the hell away form the last door on the left. Understand?" I couldn't have humans getting in the way. Thankfully he repeated everything back to the T and I ran to the very last door. They knew I would be coming up here so why try to be sneaky?

I'm sure the door would have been unlocked but I kicked it open for good measure, sending it flying off its hinges and slamming against the way. With a vamp in between the two.

How lucky for me.

"Can we help you?" A voice sneered. In the corner of the room there was a bed. On the bed was Emma. On top of Emma was a lanky man. Said lanky man was a vampire and that vampire had just removed his fangs from her slender neck. I watched as blood ran from the open wounds. "Have you come to play too?" I knew he was speaking to me, I knew that there were two other leaches in the room with him. All waiting to take their turn with the young blonde. I could see and hear all of this but I could only focus on one thing. The blood running from my best friends neck.

The blood that I had just failed to protect.

Anguish added to my fear and anger. Pain flooded my system and I reached up to grab at my chest. Her eyes were wide open staring towards the door, staring at me. Her mouth was parted slightly like she had just gasped. There were tears still in her eyes, some still sliding down her pale cheeks.

She was waiting for me. She watched the door, waiting for me but I had come to late. I listened for the tiny pitter patter her little heart beat but found none.

I sank to the floor, landing hard on my knees. I couldn't hear them now. It sounded like they were laughing but I couldn't be sure. I felt a rough hand slide across my tear covered face. Another grabbing a handful of hair and starting to drag me towards the bed. Closer to her. Closer to my Emma.

I wanted nothing more than to reach out and close her eyes but I couldn't move. My limbs refused to obey my commands.

When I was picked up and sat on the bed next to her, thankfully my hand landed on her leg. I could still feel the warmth of her skin. My neck was tilted to the side and I knew what came next but I couldn't bring myself to care.

I looked over at her neck, watching as fresh blood still pumped from her neck.

It's pumping. My beast whispered in my head.

I tried to look harder, to blink away the tears from my eyes to focus. She was right, I could see the soft throb of a heart beat in her neck. It was faint but it was there.

She is alive, barely but there is still a chance. I didn't care how small of a chance there was, I was going to take it and I was going to run with it.

I felt the leaches fangs pierce my neck, heard his sharp intake of breath as he pulled away from me quickly only to grab my face and stare into my eyes with wonder and fear. The taste of my blood would have surely given me away. I knew what was next. It was the same question the last monster had asked me. This time I wouldn't give him the satisfaction of saying it out loud.

I let go once more. I gave my beast free reign for the second time in my life with only two requests. Make it fast but make it hurt.

My pleasure. She purred before surging forward. Sinking her teeth into the leaches neck.
