Vampire Princess

Chapter 9: Dark Jasmine

Nathan's POV

We had just left Whiterun when Jasmine collapsed behind us. I didn't know she collapsed until I heard Jerome say, "hey guys over here, quick!"

"What happened" I said looking at Jasmine laying in Jerome's lap.

"I don't know. I heard something fall so I looked behind and saw her lying on the ground."

"Is she ok?" Lilly said quietly behind me.

"She should be fine" Mathew said.

"Is she ok? I saw her faint, so I came to see what happened" Someone said from behind Jerome. It was Brandon.

"Oh great, what's he doing here?" I thought to myself. "She will be fine." I said.

"Are you sure? Do you want me to help or anything?"

"We're fine"

"Are you sure?"

"Yes!" I yelled a little.

Jasmine moved her head to the right a little from hearing me yell.

"We'd better go if we're going to make it there by sunset" Mathew said.

"May I ask where you're going?" Brandon said.

"No where you need to know" I said.

Jerome got up and carried Jasmine. We went through the gates leaving Brandon standing there, clueless. We kept walking and in half an hour, Jasmine was awake and walking. Mathew was still leading us to the castle with the map Jasmine's parents gave us. Jasmine was still walking behind and she was walking a little slower than usual.

We kept walking and I heard a faint scream. It sounded like Jasmine, so I looked behind me, but she was still there. I went back and walked beside her.

"What's up?" I asked her.

"Not much, just walking like you. So how much further?"

"Hey Matt!" I yelled.

"Yea?" he yelled back.

"When are we getting to the castle?"

"Now" he pointed at the structure just ahead.

It had two watch towers and a bigger tower behind. The castle gates were made of gold with little rubies here and there. The castle was completely abandoned, so we wouldn't see any vampires. I went behind Jasmine a little, so she wouldn't turn around for some odd reason. As we went through the gates, she started disappearing, then reappearing as if she was glitching out. Lilly looked back at Jasmine excited, but then saw her glitching out.

"Jasi are you ok?" Lilly asked.

"Yes, I'm fi-fi-fine" Jasmine said still glitching. The others looked back.

"Are you sure?" I put my arm around her, but it went right through.

"It's a hologram" Jerome said.

"Then where's Jasi?" Lilly exclaimed terrified.

"I heard a scream in the woods a little back and I think it could possibly be Jasmine" I said.

"Lead us to it and maybe we could find traced of her" Mathew said.

"Right. Let's go then. It's this way."

We travelled back to where I heard the scream and there was nothing but trees and forest stuff.

"So where is she then?" Mathew asked.

"Wait a minute guys. I can sense her. She's in a tower over this way" Lilly said.

"I didn't know you could sense people. That's really cool" Jerome said.

"Really? thanks." Lilly said as she lead us to the tower.

Jasmine's POV

Alanna turned me dark and I had black hair with navy blue eyes.

"Now that you have turned, why don't you come out" Alanna said with an evil grin on her face.

"It would be my pleasure" I grabbed onto the bars of the door and melted them.

"With you being dark, you have unlimited power. You can cast fire spells, like you just did and many more."

"Good, it will come in handy for destroying you"

"Wh-what are you talking about?" Alanna said shaking.

"Hehehe" I laughed evilly "I scared you didn't I"

"Yes, yes you did scare me. Now I have an assignment for you. You need to go find someone named Nathan, and destroy him and his little group of friends"

"Destroy? I'm in" I said as I quickly ran out the tower.

I jumped out the window and landed on my feet on the ground completely fine. I stayed still for a little bit until I could hear something. Alanna then put her head out the window and yelled at me.

"Don't destroy them, I have a better plan for them" She yelled.

"What's the new plan?" I yelled back

"Bring them back here and I will deal with the in a special way"

"Ok"

I heard someone talking from ten kilometres away. I went quietly towards the voices.

"Wait one second. I can sense her even more like she's right over there" Lilly said as she pointed in my direction. Except I was behind a tree so they couldn't see me.

They all came towards me but I jumped into the branch of the tree out of sight. I looked down on them as they tried to find me.

"Wait a minute. Now she's this way. No this way. No wait this way? I'm confused it's like she keeps moving." Lilly said looking all over the place.

I had an idea. If Lilly could sense me, then I would just bring then back to the tower and they can make their own problems. Perfect. I stayed in the trees and went from branch to branch.

"She's moving quickly. Cmon lets go" Lilly said running after me, even though she couldn't see me.

I kept running through the branches and ended up back at the tower. I went back through a window closer to the ground and ran up the stairs.

"I see you're back, but where's the others?" Alanna asked.

"Go hide. I've lead them here so I will use my power to make a hologram of the good me. Then it will go into the jail cell, which I will fix, and pretend like I'm still captured by you. Once they see me, they'll come running to me and try to get me out, and that's when I'll run up to the door and close it." I said with an evil smile.

"Perfect. You're way better being dark"
