Immortals

Kidnapping A Vampire

Lola

Selena is about to have her baby. Sel is about to have her baby. I repeat that in my head as I walk down the dark street. I'm excited for her, but also worried too. Since labor usually takes hours, I decided to find someone to snack on. It's been awhile since I've had blood, and I don't want to attack Phil, Selena, or, God forbid, the baby.

I scan the street for potential victims. After searching for a few minutes, I find my next meal. A tall man with dark brown hair that's almost black. He's standing alone in an alleyway. I move towards him silently so I don't scare him away. I've found that I usually go for men that seem to be in their mid-twenties and are physically fit for my...meals.

I make my way silently towards my target. Once I'm close enough; I jump, landing on his back. I sink my fangs into his neck and the smell of blood hits me at the same time the taste does, overwhelming my senses it. He tastes like almonds and cinnamon. It's so sweet, and I drink greedily. I can't seem to get enough. I can't drink much more from him, but I want to. I want to drain him dry. That scares me. I've never wanted blood so badly in my time as a vampire.

As I finally force myself to pull away, someone grabs me from behind. I don't know who it is, but I can tell they want to hurt me. "W-who are you?" I stutter, scared senseless. I can't help but feel the terror; I have a baby to protect. "Trent," the man holding me says, his voice deep, his breath hot on the back of my neck. His voice is angry. I shudder in his grip. He sounds like he's prepared to kill me at any moment. Oh, God, please don't let me die.

"What do you want? Why are you doing this?" I ask, somewhat more confidently. It's all an act, but I want to stay strong. "I want you dead, darling, but that will come later," he tells me. "First I will torture you. Now, I'm doing this because Collin was murdered by your kind. Because of you, specifically. I want revenge." The malice is clear in his voice and I have to work to keep from shuddering again. "Collin attacked me," I spit. I feel a rope wrap around my wrists; Trent's tying my hands up. He laughs maniacally at my remark. "He wasn't attacking you, silly girl! He was aggressively hugging you! He didn't want to hurt you. He spent months watching you from afar. He was far too infatuated with you to spend time with me. When it came time for him to speak with you, he took it too far, and he was killed. I'll never see him again. So you, dearie, are going to pay for the mistake that was made," he practically spits. A chill runs up my spine, and the gravity of the situation hits me.

I am in so much trouble. Trent is going to kill me for Collins death. A death I had nothing to do with, yet was the cause of. I find myself wishing I could see Dan one last time. As Trent starts dragging me away, I know it will never happen.

Selena:

When the car pulled up, Phil had to help me inside. The contractions were much more frequent and intense now, and I could barely walk. Jenna took one look at me before taking action, handing me a hospital gown and preparing a place for me to sit...and eventually give birth. Phil helps me change into the hospital gown, which I'm not sure where Jenna got. Just as Phil eases me into the place Jenna prepared, Dan bursts through the door. "Lola's been kidnapped," he announces, the anxiety clear in his voice. The room goes still and silent, frozen in time.
