Vampire Princess

Chapter 24: I'm the saviour

"You're Leo?" I asked a little frightened of what he would do to me.

He didn't say anything just stared into my soul. Creepily.

"So when am I getting out of this stupid jail cell?" I blurted out.

"Soon. We just need to figure out why you weren't changed into human when you were bit by Leo" Nick explained. "Now come with me. We need to see someone"

"Who?"

He didn't bother saying anything. Instead he unlocked the cell door and Leo grabbed hold of my arm. His hand was painfully hot. It was like he had a fire burning in his hand. I winced as he moved his hand to get a better grip. We went outside past the main room with human werewolves staring as we went by. As we went out the door Leo told me to wait here. Nick had already run ahead and Leo left to get something.

I needed to escape. I looked around to see if anybody could see me and no one did. I quickly ran using my vampire speed and I was away from the werewolf place in seconds. I kept running until I ran into a big fluffy sandy coloured coat of fur. I knew what it was. Or should I say, who it was.

"What are you doing" the alpha said with a deep voice after he changed into human form.

"What does it look like. I'm trying to get back to Parkview." I snapped.

He snarled at me. "You have questions to answer"

"No I don't." I said. "Can't you cut me some slack. I'm lost in the woods and I'm trying to get back to Parkview to stop Alanna's attack. Then another reason why I need to get back is to see my brother, who I found out he was my brother a couple days ago. I'm also trying to get back to see my boyfriend, whose probably worried sick about me." I was almost out of breath after I explained why I needed to get back to Parkview.

"Wait a minute here. Back up. Did you just say Alanna?"

"Yes. Alanna is planning to turn the humans evil with the blood amulet and control them to attack the royal family so she can have the royalty for herself."

"I know why you have an unnatural glowing aura." He said wide eyed.

"Why?" I asked hopeful.

"You're not only the princess of the vampires. You're also the saviour."

"What's the saviour?"

"You're the only one who can defeat Alanna. It also means you're the strongest vampire of all time." He explained. "That's why you didn't change to human when Leo bit you."

He walked towards me and put his forehead on mine.

"Wh-what are you doing?" I asked as I stepped back.

"Stay still. I'm marking you."

He came towards me again and put his forehead on mine. He closed his eyes and concentrated. I felt a little jolt of lightning. It hurt a little, but I was fine.

"What did you do exactly?"

"I marked you. When a werewolf marks someone, no other werewolf can hurt them. Be it a vampire or anything else."

"Can you do it more than once?"

"No."

"So you saved yours for something special then?"

"Yes. Alanna also threatens us. I had a feeling that one day there would be someone to save us, the saviour. There have been many times I've wanted to mark someone, but I kept waiting. Now I finally found someone to mark." He explained. I was shocked that he saved his mark for me, or rather, the saviour. "Now come one. We need to get you back to Parkview."

"Do you know how?"

"I've visited it many times."

We were on our way when another werewolf came up and this time but my wrist. I screeched out in pain again and fell to the grown blacked out. Like last time I didn't turn back to human.

"Leo!" Nick exclaimed.

I was half conscious. "I thought I told you to wait" Leo said with an aggressive voice turning to human form. Then he winced and put his fist on his chest. "You marked her?"

"Don't worry you won't die."

Nick picked me up with my legs and back on his arms. I was still half conscious and I moved my head towards him.

***

We were still walking in the forest. Nick carrying me and Leo walking beside me. I opened my eyes slowly and looked at Nick. He smiled at me and I smiled back.

"We'll be there soon. Just another two miles. But we need to set up camp here. It's too dark to go on." Nick said.

He looked at Leo giving him the 'go find some firewood' look. He then set me down on a tree stump and soon enough Leo was back with a bunch of firewood. Nick grabbed half of it while Leo put the rest down beside me. Nick set up the fire and got two stones to try and get a spark. It took him around three minutes until I finally stepped in.

"Here. Let me help" I said.

"Do you know how to start a fire?"

"Yes, as a matter if a fact I do" I said putting a flame in my hand with my magic.

Nick stepped back and let me light the fire. I moved the flame to the tip of my finger and put it in the middle of the wood. In seconds we had a fire started. I was still sitting on the stump shivering. The fire wasn't exactly doing much for me.

"Hey" Nick said with a quiet voice. "You cold?"

"A little" I said back with a quiet voice.

He sat down on a log beside me and looked at me for a bit, then he put his arm around me to keep me warm. Werewolves always have their own body heat that they can control, so they can have no clothes on and still be warm in the coldest weather. I leaned in and rested my head on his chest. Leo just sat across from us keeping the fire going.

A little while after I started to fall asleep, but I kept opening my eyes. I finally fell asleep after ten minutes of opening and closing my eyes. Nick saw me sleeping, so he picked me up and laid me down on the ground.

I was in a room. I looked around and it was my room back at Springfield. There was a twin size bed with a cyan coloured comforter at the back left hand corner from the door and a window with cyan curtains. On the back right hand corner there was a black corner desk with nothing on it, and to the right of the desk against the wall was a black dresser, again with nothing on it except a mirror leaning against the wall. On the floor there was a cyan carpet beside the bed and the walls were all painted black. To the left of the bed against the wall was a closet door that was painted cyan. I went out the door into a different room. It was pitch black and I couldn't see anything but a bright white light at the other side of the room.

I walked towards it and whenI came to it, it was another door that lead to another room. It was pitch black again and there was a light in the middle with a table and a single chair with a shadowy figure sitting in it.

"Hello? Whose there?" I asked creeping towards it.

I got to it and the figure moved its head upwards to look at me. It had bright glowing eyes. Once it saw me, it got out of the chair and grew bigger. I stepped back a few steps and it turned into a monster. I started running, but I tripped on my own foot. I fell to the ground and looked up at the monster. It was still a pitch black figure with glowing eyes and claws.

It came towards me so fast I woke up screaming.
