Vampire Princess

Chapter 27: The traitor

We discussed our plan, which wasn't really a good one. The men were still surrounding the house, so it would be a little more difficult. Our plan was, Ashely would distract the men surrounding the house, while Nathan and I go inside the house. If there were more men, or women, in the house, then Nathan would deal with them. Then I would go upstairs and if Alanna was there, then I would take out my dagger, which I got from the royal vault when I first got the amulet, and kill her.

Ashely went over to the men surrounding the house and called them over.

"Oh boys" Ashley called. They all looked towards her. "Come here" They all were focused on Ashley they walked over to her.

Nathan and I looked at each other and then ran for the door. As we went inside there was one man sitting in the living room. He didn't hear us, but instead of Nathan taking care of it, I used my magic to cast a sleeping spell on him. He would wake up in twelve hours, but it was enough time for us.

We went upstairs and found Alanna sleeping on the bottom bed of the bunk bed. I went slowly towards her. She was turned the other way, so I couldn't see if she was awake or not. I went over to her anyway and got my dagger out. I held it over my head and I was about to strike her until I wasn't in control of myself anymore.

Alanna's hand went up and she turned around to get off the bed. I looked over at Nathan and Ashley was standing behind him in the doorway. Nathan was about to come towards me to help but Alanna cast a freezing spell on him, which stopped him right in his tracks.

"Good job Ashley. Brought her right to me" Alanna said looking at Ashely.

"Ashley!" I yelled. "Why? Why would you betray us?" I kept yelling. "My family trusted you! I trusted you"

"I needed a change. I was sick of being good. I wanted some action in my life." Ashley said keeping calm. She then went over to Alanna. "I've found out she's the saviour"

"She's the what!" Alanna said raising her voice. Ashley nodded. "No, it can't be. I destroyed the last saviour. There couldn't have been another one born." Alanna said.

"Well sucks to be you because it's true. I am the saviour and always will be." I said confidently.

"Maybe not for long."

Alanna rose her hand and was controlling my hand with the dagger. She put my hand down to my chest and was slowly bringing it towards me. I fought with all my strength, but it was useless. I could feel the tip on my bare skin when suddenly something came right through the window without breaking it.

"Alanna, enough" A deep voice said.

"Daddy?" I looked over feeling guilty.

He grabbed me by the wrist and Alanna stopped controlling me. He then grabbed Nathan's arm as he unfroze and left Ashley behind.

As we were walking backs my dad didn't say a word. I looked at Nathan and he didn't say anything either.

"Daddy?" I broke the silence.

"We told you to wait." He said with a deep crackly voice.

"Look, I'm sorry ok. I just can't take this anymore. I can't take that Alanna wants to control the humans to destroy us. I just want to end this now."

"I know you do sweetie. We all do. We just have to wait, that's all."

I sighed. "Did you know I was the saviour?"

"That I actually did not know." He looked at me and smiled. I smiled back. "That's awesome that you're the saviour."

"Alanna said something about it's impossible for another saviour to be born because she killed the last one."

"Yes it's true that it's almost impossible for another saviour to be born. And yes it's true that Alanna killed the last one."

"Then how come I'm the saviour?"

"You were just very lucky then. No one knows how the saviour is born. All they know is the saviour has an unnatural glowing aura, like Nick said you have."

We kept walking and talking and we were back at Parkview. It was around two in the morning. Nathan went back to his house and we went back to ours. I went upstairs to my room and was too tired to even care that I was sleeping in my clothes.

I was back in my room at Springfield. I went to the door and opened it walking to another room. It had yellow all over the walls ceiling and floor. There was another door across the room and it was painted purple. I went through it and it led to a purple room. I kept going through different coloured rooms until I ended up in a pure white room. It was like the rest and there was a black door across.

I knew what it was and I didn't want to go through it. I tried to go back through the door to the blue room I had entered before, but there was no door. Instead there was a white wall that kept coming closer to me. It came closer and closer until I was at the black door. The wall was about to squish me. I had no choice. It was either get squished by the wall and die or go through the black door.

I made my decision quickly and went through the black door. There was a table in the middle again with a single light hanging over top. This time there was no chair and no shadow. Instead there was one more door behind the table. I went over to it and moved the table out of the way. I went through the door and there it stood. The shadow was in the middle of the room. I tried to creep around it to the door at the other side, but it saw me and lunged at me putting its claws through my chest.
