Escape The Night: The Evil Sorceress

Chapter One

                  74 Hours Before

Alex's POV
I couldn't believe she was gone. I couldn't believe Lauren was gone. It couldn't be real, it shouldn't be real. None of this should be possible and yet it was. It was all so totally unreal.

I can't live without my girlfriend. She was everything to me. She was my world and now she's gone.

All because of Destorm.

I never trusted him from the begining. Call it intuition, call it suspicion but I never trusted him and I never liked him. And now I had good reason to believe that he'd had it out for Lauren since this whole thing started. I was hellbent on getting revenge on him. I wanted him to feel what she must have felt when she died. I wanted him to pay. I wanted him to suffer.

I know that I must sound crazy, trying to get revenge on Destorm when we were all basically fighting for our lives against vampires, an evil sorceress and much more dangerous creatures all the while trying to solve puzzles and survive the night. But my anger was getting the best of me.

Like I said, Lauren was my world and I couldn't live without her. So yeah, I'm a bit crazy but so what? Everyone was doing crazy shit to survive the night but all it was doing was hurting other people. If one person lives, another dies and I don't plan on being one of those people. Not yet anyway.

All I knew was that Destorm was going to pay for what he did, one way or another.

Right now I was sitting on a couch in the small game room, staring down at my hands. They were shaking slightly but I had no idea why. Everyone else was either standing or sitting down.

"We have to figure out how to get out of here." Liza said.

"What do you think we're doing?" Jesse snapped.

Liza rolled her eyes and crossed her arms. "I meant we should try to fight our way out of here."

After that everyone started to all talk at once except me. I remained silent as I thought about Lauren, praying that she was at least at peace. But what Liza just said was foolish as hell, if not stupid.

"It's suicide." I say quietly but loud enough that they heard me. They ceased talking, surprised I had even said anything. Since Lauren died, I haven't said a word. "Trying to fight our way out of here is suicide. We don't even know what the hell we're doing."

Tana stared at me and said, "Staying here is suicide. All they're doing is picking us off one by one."

"That's better than getting slaughtered all together at once right?" Gabby said.

"We have a vampire on our side! She knows how to kill vampires." Destorm says. "With her help we can fight our way out of here."

I scowled at Destorm, anger and hatred for him rising up inside of me. He had some nerve thinking his fucking oppinion mattered because it didn't.

"Vampires aren't the only things we need to worry about. Or did you forget?" I sassed him.

Destorm glared at me and I glared right back. "No I didn't forget. I just don't think they're that much of a threat."

I stood up, crossing my arms. "What about the sorceress? She poses a huge threat to all of us even if we do succeed in trying to fight our way out of here."

"We'll worry about her if and when it comes to that." Joey says.

I shake my head but before I could say anything Allison sprints into the room and tells us to hide. I look around trying to find a good place but I don't find one and before I know it, everyone has a hiding place except me.

The door flies open and a vampire stalks in, his eyes set on me. I move around the side of the couch trying to put something between me and him. I didn't want to die. Not yet. The vampire launched itself over the couch and hit me in the chest, sending me flying backwards into the wall. I cried out and fell to the floor.

I'm going to die.

Destorm's POV
I heard a loud thud as something hit the wall and Alex cry out in pain. I peeked out from my spot behind the curtain and saw him on the floor with a vampire standing over him. God he looked so vulnerable and terrified. The obsessively preotective part of me that I hid from everyone started to show itself and I started to have a mental battle with myself.

Should I save him or should I stay out of it?

Fuck, I thought as I moved out from behind the curtain and sprinted at the vampire, tackling it to the ground. I had to keep him away from Alex.

I hope I don't regret this, I thought.

Alex's POV
Destorm came out of nowhere and tackled the vampire to the floor. I was surprised and I didn't know why he even decided to save me. He was fighting the vampire now, trying to knock it out but it was no use. His strength against its superhuman strength put him at a disadvantage because his hits must feel like needle pricks to it.

I sat up against the wall and suddenly Allison was there, pushing Destorm to the side and taking care of the vampire. My chest and back hurt from slamming into the wall and I groaned quietly.

Destorm came over to me and held his hand out. I stared at it for a few seconds before I slapped it away from me. I climbed to my feet. "I don't need your help."

And I still don't trust you.
