Bloody

Chase

Pain, that was the first thing I felt. My head was on fire, or at least it felt like it was.

I slowly opened my eyes to discover my hands were chained to the bed. A bed that was not mine and neither was the room.

I looked around the room searching for any sign of recognition but found none. All I saw was a place well decorated with pricey furniture and colourful designs. Trying to remember how I got here was useless; all I remember was looking for my friends at the party and then seeing a guy in the woods.
I remember walking towards him. Did I talk to him? In my confusion, I did not realize I was not alone.

"I see your awake princess". Princess! Never been called that before. The blond-haired vixen was beautiful in an all 'in your face way'.

She was tall and from her stature, you could tell she was a fighter. She had pale skin, which reminded me of Trisha.
She took her time walking towards me, like a predator stalking its prey.

"I thought you would be harder to catch".

"What do you want from me?" I asked.

" Your death. Don't take this personally but you being alive is bad for me".

I had no idea what she was talking about but I knew I had to escape. I looked around desperately searching for an escape route but I found none.

"Don't bother thinking of escaping princess, there's only one way in and one way out".

Seeing, as there was no getting out of here, I might as well try to talk my way out.

"please let me go, I swear am not going to tell a soul".

She laughed before putting a serious face and saying.
"You don't remember yet, princess".

Princess. I was starting to get annoyed with the whole princess thing. And, in my state of annoyance I said what could have gotten me killed.

"My name is Mia not princess, and I would really appreciate it if you let me go".

"On the contrary princess, your name is Vanessa. Heir to the Baeryn faction, anchor to the king of the Lethic faction. You can't remember who you were, what you were and what you stand for. As Vanessa in your past life, you were to marry king Travis to form an alliance between the two vampire factions, to bring peace but you died. Or should I say you were killed. My people are neither from the Baeryn or Lethic faction but a new faction called the Blade".

I stared at her, waiting for her to give me the punch line on this ridiculous joke about vampires. After about a minute or so without her saying anything, I decided to call her bluff.

"Okay, let's say vampires exist and you're not crazy, why should I believe you?

"You don't have to believe me princess, you die either way". She smiled.

I, stilled, scared out of my mind. At this moment, I wished I could say my memories flashed before my eyes. No, I felt nothing like that but the fear was constant.

She took out a knife from her side pocket, aiming for my chest or heart when I saw something or someone hiding behind a wall by the door side. I saw a tree branch grab at the hand she was to use to stab me and drag it backward. I was in shock on how that was possible but there was no way I was going to sit there and wait for her to recover from whatever that was.

I tried pulling at the chains that held me but it was of no use. While I was struggling with the chains, my kidnapper was fighting with branches and leafs. Yes, I said branches, which is crazy. My kidnapper was having a hard time winning the battle, every time she broke a branch a new one will appear to continue from where the last one stopped.

I could see the frustration in her eyes and for some reason I was enjoying her annoyance. I was too occupied watching the fight to realize some one was beside me untying my hands from the bed. I turned around only to realize it was Trisha. She finally broke the chains before helping me stand up. I was weak in the knees and Trisha had to support me.

We walked out the door and was surrounded by forest. We were half a mile from where ever my kidnapper held me when Trisha suggested we rest.

"Are you okay Mia". Trisha asked with concern in her voice.

"I don't know Trish. I was kidnapped, nearly murdered and I saw a plant fight a person. So I don't know, should I be okay?"

"Am sorry this is not how you were supposed to find out". She sighed before turning away from me.

Before I could register her words she turned around with worry in her face. "Someone's coming. we have to go Mia".

I stood up ready to follow her order, when I saw a knife coming straight at me, before it had a chance of causing serious damage Trisha caught it. My kidnapper was holding two huge swords on both her hands with a fatal look on her face. It was obvious she came to kill.

Trisha pushed me behind her and taken a protective stand in front of me. She raised her hand and I could feel the ground shake and the branches of trees cutting off and transforming into pocketknife made out of wood.

"You're a fool fighting me in my territory Chase".

My kidnapper or should I say Chase laughed before saying, "territory or no territory you die".
