Forbidden Fangwoods

Chapter 7 - The Fog of Confusion

Hey guys here's an update I hope you guys enjoy reading☺. I'm feeling better, so :D.

It had been a few days since I'd seen anyone. Food and water was brought in every few days by a vampire I didn't recognize. I split the food between me and Saber before drinking half the water, and I pouring the other half onto the plate, so that Saber could lap up what water he wanted. Demetria was starting to really frighten me: at first she was cold and informative, then she was kind and generous, and now she was angry, violent, and confusing. I looked up, hearing the cell door unlock and glanced up to see a vampire I didn't recognize. She walked over to me and grabbed my arm. Saber began barking repeatedly, before he leapt at the female vampire. She knocked him away easily and I gasped as Saber hit the cement floor, he laid there stunned, whimpering. The female vampire held my arm tighter, then everything moved in a blur. I was released and then in a blur she was gone. I looked around realizing I was nowhere near the any dens, as the vampires call them. I was standing in ferns that reached up to the middle of my thigh. Thick fog shrouded most distant objects from view and I could tell I was in a densely wood area of Fangwoods. Before I had time to notice anything else, a tall broad shouldered silhouette walked towards me. As they came closer I could tell it was a male vampire, his irises vibrantly red, fangs slightly descended barely poking past his lips. He spoke coldly "So you are the human, the Elders have confirmed is spoken of in 'The Charred Blood' prophecy." I gulped terrified as he walked closer to me until he was mere inches away. He growled deeply spitting "Let's see what happens when Demetria finds out Blood Clan is torturing you for answers." I started trembling in fear, I cast a quick glance at my hand to see it clearly shaking with my fear. The male vampire stated "I plan on having my clan torture you until we hear Demetria finds out that you've been taken from her. And since my clan owns the largest territory, and is more powerful than any other clan or group, I doubt she will do more then try to send someone to sneak past my defences and get you back. I plan on guarding you so heavily that any attempt to take you will be futile." I could feel tears slipping from the corners of my eyes and rolling down my cheeks. The Vampire stated "I guess I should introduce myself. I am Fang, Leader of Blood clan, and my group is going to enjoy having you. Let's hope you survive. I'd hate to have to bring your lifeless prophesied corpse to the elders and Demetria." Fang gave me a wicked smirk before something hit me on the back of the head, hard. I fell to the ground as the world faded away.

I opened my eyes to find that I was facing a wall. When I tried to move, my hands were restrained. I looked up and saw that my wrists were chained above my head to the thick metal bars of a cell window. I allowed myself to go limp finding that my knees were still a foot above the ground when I wasn't standing. I laid slumped against the wall like that ignoring the increasing discomfort of my chained wrists. It was pointless to even try to escape from Blood clan. The vampires were faster and stronger than me, plus they could kill me whenever they wanted. Although at this point I wished that I was dead. I would have much rather have died than have to endure anymore suffering and confusion. I was not sure how much more of it I could take. I heard the sound of a cell door being opened and then closed. An unfamiliar voice spat "Look at you! You pathetic, weak, useless human!" I closed my eyes as a tear slipped out. I was glad I didn't have to face my torturers. I was glad that I didn't have to watch them smile, happy, as they beat me. A whip cracked against my back which caused me to flinch and cry out in pain. Each whiplash inflicting agony and my clothes did nothing to dull the pain. I balled my hands into tight fists, and grit my teeth, as the vampire continued to give countless whip lashes to my back. I could feel blood soaking through my shirt and rolling down my back. I hung my head and watched the blood drip from my shirt onto the cement floor. When the vampire finally stopped, I slumped up against the wall, relaxing for mere seconds before the vampire untied one of my wrists and grabbed my shoulders, turning me around, the unrecognizable male vampire slammed me against the brick wall. The bleeding whiplash wounds on my back stung worse. The vampire smirked as I whimpered in pain. I stuttered "P-pl-please st-stop." He smiled at my plea and spat "If you think that once I'm done beating you till I'm content that you'll be left alone, you're gravely mistaken. Every of age vampire in blood clan is taking turns beating you. As order of Fang, I'd be prepared for long, pain filled, restless, days and nights." I closed my eyes and began to sob as he started beating me with strong powerful blows. I allowed myself to go limp, accepting that there was a very good chance I'd die before Demetria ever found out I had been taken. The male vampire gave me a final blow before he chained my free wrist back to one of the metal bars of the cells window. I knew he walked out of the cell when I heard the door open and close, and a minute or so later a female vampire said "Well, look at you human, chained and bleeding, I could almost feel sorry for you." I closed my eyes and let my sobs escape, and my tears flowed freely, knowing the agonizing torture that laid ahead.

I had more bruises than I had ever imagined possible. Every inch of the flesh of my back was covered in deep, excruciating whip lashes. I had cuts all over. I laid limp, virtually dangling from the bars of the window. Night and day vampires came to beat me. I had lost track of the days at this point. I was surprised that no one had come in yet. It had been what I'd assumed to be ten minutes. I'm guessing I had been there about a week or more, though it feel like a lot longer. I barely got any sleep, at most a few minutes of rest. I had lost most of the feeling in my fingers due to the fact I had been chained up. I hadn't had anything to eat or drink since I was taken. Every millimeter of my body was in excruciating pain. I heard the cell door open and I sighed squeezing my eyes shut and clenched my fists as best as I could bracing for what was to come. Powerful punch after punch came one after the other. I blacked out after slamming my head against the wall in attempt to use what energy I had left to get away. I opened my eyes, jolted, as a hard open handed slap collides with the back of my head. I heard Fang state "Demetria knows that I have you. She's outraged. I heard she plans to lead the raid party herself. She's already tried to talk me into handing you over, but it's too much fun watching her suffer as her precious prophesied human is being tortured to death." I clench my jaw, angered, I didn't know why it outraged me so much that he was doing this just to watch Demetria and I suffer. Something inside me wanted me to defend Demetria and exclaim that his plan will never work. Deep down I felt the urge to rip myself out of the chains and strangle the Blood clan leader. I knew I wasn't strong enough, and I did not want to antagonize the vampire in charge or my torturers. I pushed the urge away, Fang kicked my leg then walked away. I heard the cell door open and close, signaling that he had left. Suddenly there was a large commotion outside and I heard several vampires rush into the cell. They began to senselessly beat me. I could feel blood running down my back, again. The chains were untied and I slumped to the floor, closing my eyes as I gave in accepting my fate. Willing death to come and take me. When suddenly I hear the cell door slam open and I hear a deep unnerving growl, causing a shiver to run down my spine.
