Body

Chapter 10

I was breathless. She had beaten me until I passed out, waited for me to wake up and then beat me some more. If this is what Tae went through, even a little, it was horrible. She grabbed my face.

"Are you paying attention? Yes? Good. Listen closely. These good fellows will wake up any minute now. And they'll be very hungry." she stared at me with an intense evil. "You have two choices. Either you don't surrender to me and I'll let them devour you alive. Or, you do surrender, and I can make you immortal."

The way she said that made it clear she thought the second option was the better choice. They both weren't good choices. I heard chains moving beside me. I guess they were starting to wake up.

She began to laugh. "So, what will it be?"

Maybe I can play her game. The others had to have been looking for me. Maybe if I can play along I can stall my death enough for them to get here. But I honestly don't know how they'll do it. She's so strong and would control them. Maybe I can finish this...

"What do you think I'll choose?" I said through gasps of pain. My ribs were bruised if not broken.
She smiled. Content with my response. "I think you'll choose to die over surrendering to me." She took a sip of red liquid from a wine glass. The newborn vamps were moving more now.

"Your wrong."

Her eyebrow went up now fully interested.

"I surrender."

"To?"

"To you."

She put down her glass and walked towards me. She unhooked me from the chains but left the cuffs on me. My wrists were bleeding from them cutting into me. With one arm she threw me onto her bed. My body in extreme pain. I tried to get up but couldn't because of the state I was in.

"I understand why V is fascinated with you." She sat on the bed beside me. "Your blood smells absolutely delicious. He must only like you because of that. I should have chosen a different blood bag for him when he was fighting."

"You sound like your jealous." I managed to say. Just keep the conversation going. Stall her.

She smiled, darkness surrounding her. "You think I don't see what your trying to do?" She lay next to me and traced her finger on my body, like Tae had done the other night. I felt sick to my stomach. "I have nothing to worry about. I'm superior to you in every way, and deep down in V's cold heart I know that he only has room for me."

"You're wrong."

"Oh, but I'm right. You see his little escape and run with you, was just for fun. He'll always come running back begging for forgiveness." She's just trying to get into your head. Don't listen to her.
"What if I was the one who told him to do all of this? For him to have his way with you?"

That's not what happened. "That's not true!" Is it? I'm starting to doubt myself as the pain in my body began to feel worse.

She sighed. "You're no fun." Her finger stopped at my inner thigh.

"Maybe we should spice things up a little." And with that she sliced deep into my flesh. Severing the main artery in my leg.

No!

My blood began to pour out of me. I only have about 4 minutes to live, give or take. I sat up even though my body was broken to try to get my belt to stop the bleeding, but she just pushed me back down.

"I didn't tell you to save yourself."

Then, the door was kicked open, and there he was.

Tae, lunged at her, his eyes glowing red like I've never seen before. He didn't seem like his regular self. His aura also seemed very different.

How was this possible?

How could he be like her?
