My girlfriend's a Vampire

Chapter 21

Chapter 21

I slept peacefully until I felt like I was getting attacked. I woke up with a start. People's hands were around me, I thrash and tried to yell but I felt a gauntlet cover my mouth, the hands were strong and I saw metal on the arms around me. I struggled more but I couldn't get away from them and they had pinned me, cuffing my hands and legs together. I struggled against them but it was in vain and I couldn't get though. I was laying on my bed, surrounded by 3 Fists.

"What the hell is this?" I asked outraged.

"You will see soon enough," One of the said. I felt two of them pick me up by my shoulders and I felt my feet drag lightly against the floor as they took me to the main chamber, the one with the throne in it.

I saw a couple people. Arial, Rebeca, her mom and dad, Jene, Nena, Jene's mom and a few others from the reunion as well as a couple people here and there around the main space before the throne. I was set in the middle and the people were gathered around me. The Fists took my chains and chained me to the floor.

"What the hell is going on?" I asked. I couldn't see Rebeca, she must have been behind me. She had looked sad for the few seconds I had been able to see her. No one spoke, just observed me.

"What's going on?" I asked again looking around. I saw Salina on her throne, she got up and walked towards me.

"You have been brought here to us in chains and chained to the floor for our protection," She told me.

"Your protection? From me?" I asked. She nodded.

"That's ridiculous. I wouldn't hurt any of you... Well... Without provocation," I said.

"Why do you think I would hurt you all?" I asked.

"Because you are an enemy," She said.

"Wait. Since when? How have I showed myself an enemy?" I asked a little agitated.

"A long while ago. Back during the dark ages and through out history. Their have been those who have shown characteristics like yours. We never thought to look at them because they were far and few in history that and we thought they died off," She said. She walked a little closer.

"Do you know what would happen if our secret got out?" She asked me.

"Ah... Humans as a whole would probably try to kill you for what you are," I told her.

"Exactly, that is why we chain you," She said.

"What does what I am and exposing our secret have to do with me?" I asked. Salina sighed.

"Because your kind and my kind fight," She said.

"What do you mean. I wouldn't do that. You know I wouldn't," I said.''

"We call your kind. Hostillis lamia. Meaning enemy vampire in latin," She said.

"I don't care. I wouldn't hurt you or anyone without reason," I said.

"It is not your choice. It will happen," Salina told me.

"Why?" I asked.

"We've had horrible run ins with your kind," She said.

"So you would just stereotype me?" I asked outraged more.

"The last time we didn't do anything a quarter of our population was killed, I will not allow that to happen again," She said.

"You've got to be kidding. I'm not that person. I wouldn't do it," She said.

"You won't have a choice," She told me.
