Last Heartbeat

Chapter 3 - Untold secrets

*Alex Hunter*

After Mr Vincent left, my father and mother left together to go and socialise with other important guests. I began walking around looking for someone I might know. They all smiled politely but there was not anyone I knew personally. I then admitted defeat and began walking up to Clarrisse. It was better than looking like I was dull at my own party. That was when I saw her, our eyes met. The beautiful Long flowing Amber hair. Her emerald gleeming eyes. It was Rashel.

She glanced my way and gave me a beautiful smile. I passed one back and began walking her in direction. My heart began violently beating, threatening to burst out my chest.

"Alex, What a surprise" She winked at me, when the girl she was with was not looking. I grinned as she laughed. She looked so elegant and beautiful. It was hard not to stare at her.

"I did not know you were coming tonight." I raised my hand and weaved it threw my hair.

"I wanted to surprise you" She smiled. It was so easy to talk to her but my heart was beating. I was surprised that she could not hear it.

"Rashel, I will leave you two alone. I will go and get some drinks." Her friend struted away. Rashel and I looked at each other.

I broke the silence. "Would you care to take a walk with me?" I gestured my arm. Without hesitating she rested her hand on my arm.

"This is some party..." Rashel glanced around as we made our way to the estate.

I glanced her way and then watched in the direction we were walking in. Pebbles on the path clicked beneath my feet. "I am glad you are enjoying yourself, I am not to fond of these kind of events... my father was always the social type. He always had contact with the important townfolk" I stated.

She suddenly stopped and turned on her heels. He hair gleemed with the moonlight as she turned. Rashel walked forward. The closer she approached the more I could feel my heart beating. I smiled nervously. Rashel arched in as she got closer. I was slightly taller so her neck raised up to look at my eyes. I stared back and smiled slightly.

"Alex..." She muttered under her breath. My eyes were glued to her  I couldnt take them off her. I snaked my hand around her waist to bring her closer. My nerves strangely vanished when I was with her. She smiled, a warm feeling pulsed inside me as I saw her smile. Rashel raised her arms to wrap around my neck, I took the chance and leaned forward and kissed her cheek. My hand moved up her neck to cock it back. I felt the heat on her face as I massaged her cheek with my thumb.

I moved my other hand so they were on both sides of her face. I raised her head gently before arching in to kiss her neck. She moaned and leaned on the wall. I felt her hand press on my chest. With her hands applying pressure I could fell how much my heart was pounding.

"Alex..." She muttered cupping my face. "We shouldnt be doing this..." She said with a weak smile.

"I know but you want to..." I said playfully and smirked at the corner of my mouth. I placed both of my hands on her cheeks and moved in to kiss her lips.

I felt her hand weave through my hair and it made me want more as I pressed her against the wall and cupped her face.

She giggled and kissed me back. She was beautiful in everyway, I couldnt understand it.

"Ale-" She muttered trying to pull away but she kiss me back more passionately. She finally pulled away gasping for air. I stared at her confused, did she not like it? Did I do something wrong?

"Alex... we shouldnt be doing this... well not at least here" She fixed her hair and did the same with mine. She winked and smirked. "I best be going back inside, my friend will be awfully worried. It was great to see you again Alex hunter. I will be looking forward to seeing you again soon." she straightened out her dress and walked off as her shoes clicked on the floor. She stopped and turned her head to face me. "Also I would be careful of that man Vincent..." She warned me before walking back into the party.

My head was spinning. I was so happy but confused. I watched her walk away. What did she mean?

I stepped backwards until the back of my knees hit the edge of the bench and i sat down. I smiled again.

The silence bloomed until a hand spread out on my face and pushed me backwards. I yelled and began to struggle but my body hit the ground, dirt lifted off the ground and settled on my suit. My head hit the ground and my vision blurred.

"WHA- argh!" I yelled and gritted my teeth. I blinked constantly as my vision began to clear but the person was still unidentifiable to my eyes.

Strong arms wrapped around my neck and pushed me onto the wall. The stone wall's surface was sharp and it hurt as the attacker pushed me further up as I began to gasp.

The attacker calmed down and pushed on my neck and grabbing my shoulder. I couldnt move, he was so strong, it was supernatural.

I blinked again and groaned as I tried to adjust the hold so I could breath. His black hair, those dark eyes.

"Vincent-" I coughed out.

"Right my boy..." He sneered as his canines flashed. I opened my eyes wide and gasped. He moved his hand further up my neck to force my head up. I was shaking uncontrollably, I couldnt help it.

I felt his breath on my neck and I opened my eyes wide and struggled again. I kicked out and pushed him with all the strength I could muster. He took one step back. I did the first thing I could think of and brought my fist up. In that split second he grabbed it and squeezed the metal ring on my finger hurt as he did.

"You thought you stood a chance... that is rather amusing" He chuckled and pushed me on the wall again. He still had a grip on my fist. Vincent let go and stared at the ring. He looked at it with confusion. Then lowered his eyebrows and pulled it off as it bounced on the floor "Enough!..." He screamed and gritted his teeth. "Prepare yourself Alex..." He laughed.

"No Please!" I struggled but it was too late. He pressed my head up again. I felt warm air brush on my skin before the piercing pain of my neck tissue tearing erupted, making way for two sharp teeth. "ARGH!" I yelled for a couple of seconds before he clamped his hand on my mouth. Tears streamed down my cheeks. Warm liquid runned down my neck and soaked my shirt.

I felt my body start to feel weak and in need of rest. Vincent pulled off. I couldnt even find the strength to try and get away. Why was I still alive? I hear vincent gasping for breath. I placed my hand on the wall for balence but my strength was too weak and i fell to the ground.

I heard deep footsteps come closer. My eyelids felt heavy and i fourght to stay awake. He grasped the back of my shirt and pulled me up like I weighed nothing. "You have no idea how much you pathetic life is going to change Alex Hunter, remember this night"

He placed one hand in his pocket and brought out a vial of red liquid. Without time for me to resist he cocked my head up and forced the contents of the vial down my throat. Natural instinct kicked in and i swallowed. The taste of strong metal filled my mouth as I gagged. He threw the vial and it smashed no the wall. Vincent placed both his hands on my cheeks and pulled. A loud crack was the last sound I heard before everything went black.
