Vampire World: The Battle Begins ♥Complete♥

Chapter 2

As I walked through the doors, I noticed that everyone was staring at me like I was something to eat. Leanardo quickly turned around and pushed me behind him before he started yelling at me.

"Lilly, what the hell are you doing here? Are you trying to get yourself killed!?" He shouted before he started calling Antonio's name, which I didn't get because he was nowhere in sight.

To my surprise, he was in front of me before I could even blink.

"Lilly, What the hell are you doing here. Are you trying to get yourself killed?!" He yelled over his shoulder.

"Wow, Like I haven't heard that already?" I thought.

"Well, you shouldn't have come here then." He said harshly.

"Harsh, wait, he must be able to read minds." I thought.

"Ding ding ding, we have a winner." He said sarcastically.

"Cool... Total loss of privacy, but cool." I whispered when Antonio turned around and gave me a 'Shut up' look.

After they got some of the people to go away, a woman appeared out of a cloud of purple diamonds and pink glitter. As she approached, I noticed that everyone was kneeling, so I followed. I wasn't that surprised when I looked up, and she was right in front of us. She waved her hands, and everyone started to leave. Once we stood, she asked me if I could give them a moment, without an answer, I turned and walked away.

"After I was just surrounded by people that looked like they wanted to eat me, she wants me to leave my protection? She might as well tell me to stab myself then jump into shark-infested water." I thought.

Ant caught my arm then and warned me to stay close. Great, I wasn't that far off. As I waited, I noticed Emily (one of my old friends from school) walking by. My mind was in a haze because she went missing a week ago, so I decided to go talk to her.

"Omg!! Hey Em. Where have you been? Everyone's been going crazy, trying to find you. I bet your mom is going to be glad when she sees you." I ranted as I fell into step beside her.

She just shook her head.

"What? Did I say something?" I questioned.

Still more head shakes.

"What!? Just tell me already!" I shouted, getting frustrated.

She stopped in her tracks.

"You just don't get it, do you? I can't go back there, and neither can you." She said, looking me dead in the eye before turning and walking off.

"Gosh, if she didn't want to go home, all she had to do was say no." I thought and was about to chase after her when Antonio called my name.

I was just looking over to see what he wanted when I saw the woman return to her cloud. When I finally got back to where they were, I noticed that Leo looked worried. Then he took my hand and guided me to a nearby bench.

"Lil." He started, and the look on his face said he really didn't want to tell me what was about to happen next.

"Um, I know that this is going to be hard to understand, but we're all vampires, and the woman you just saw is our queen." He said.

"Are you - are you serious?" I asked with widened eyes.

"As serious as I can be." He replied.

I didn't say anything because I was in shock. He let me have a minute before Ant told me the weirdest news I might ever hear.

"Um, I really don't know how to put this, but Leo has to turn you into a vamp in seven days, or you'll be killed." He said.

"Oh my God are you serious, do you know how my parents would feel if they found out I'm a vampire," I said feigned a bit of sadness.

"Lil, the thing is, they can't know that you're a vampire, so you can't go near them." He replied with a saddened look in his eye.

"Great! Not only can't I see my family again, but I'm also going to die if I don't go through with the change. Couldn't you have kept that part from me?" I shouted, putting more sadness and a bit of anger in my voice.

"Lil, I'm sorry we had to do this to you." He said as he pulled me in for a hug.

"Oh my gosh, is this like some sick joke?" I questioned as I 'cried' into his chest.

"No, we're really vamps." He replied as he pulled me back and flashed his fangs at me before pulling me back into his chest.

"Good, because I always knew vampires existed, no one ever believed me though," I replied with a smug smile as he pushed me away from him with a look of disbelief on his face.

"I just told you that you had to become a vampire, or you'll die, and you act as if I told you that you won a million dollars every day for life." He said slack-jawed.

"Shut up," I replied, hitting him on the shoulder.

"Ouch...You're one tough girl. I like that." He said, rubbing his arm.

"I know you're faking so you can cut the crap." I laughed at him.

We all met up at a nearby tree to head off. We walked about halfway across town, but I had to jog to keep up. When we finally got to the building, a woman rushed out of the room to help us, which started as a friendly gesture but ended with her walking ten feet ahead and Leo and Ant holding each of my hands, and I had to admit, I loved it. It must have been showing because when I looked up at Leanardo, he was smiling down at me, then another friendly smile came from Antonio. Once we got to our designated room, I could smell fresh picked lavender with a hint of spring water. The room was bare except for the horrifying bed with a ton of leather straps on it and a wall full of full-length mirrors.

The next thing I knew, I was being strapped down to the bed, and the curtains and doors were being closed and locked. After the last lock was secured, Leanardo tilted my head to the side and released his fangs.

"Oh, and when I wake up, I'm so knocking you on your ass," I said to Ant before Leo's fangs pierced my skin.

The second the venom entered my bloodstream, I knew that it was the ending of my old life and the beginning of a new one.
