The vampires rogue pet

CHAPTER 1

 Fear.

The only thing I felt was fear.

A fear so unadulterated it shook me to my very core.

Pure fear.

Pure fear was coursing through every inch of my body as I pushed my legs to carry me faster and take me farther away from the thing, the monster that was chasing me.

My family and I left together, but now I was the only one left. I had lost everyone else. I had missed them all in painful scarring ways.

My mother was the first person I lost. She sacrificed herself (on accident) I think if she could she would have tried harder to run rather than eave us. We were crossing the border into Meridian so we could keep our freedom instead of becoming slaves to the vampires but like all things we pray to go smoothly it didn't work out as we had hoped.

Just as we were crossing the border, literally on the edge of salvation and safety, a group of monsters appeared out of nowhere, we scattered, my brother and me taking off in one direction, my father and Emily in another and my mother, well my mother couldn't keep up with any of us. The group noticed this and decided to go for the easy kill.

I think at that moment she wished she was faster but I also think she was relieved that she was the one to give us help in putting more distance between me and the beasts that hunted us.

I turned around at the wrong moment. That was the first time I had witnessed a murder, a death, that was the first time I experienced pain so intense I almost collapsed but it sure as hell wouldn't be the last.

As I turned around to see where the rest of my family were, I saw my mother, the vulture-like vampire group circling her. Our eyes met and even with the distance, for the first time I saw my mother cry.

A single tear escaped her eye at the same time that realization dawned on me, my mother was unwillingly sacrificing herself so that we could survive.

I started to walk towards her slow at first then my walk turned into a jog all the while she was shaking her head furiously.

"AAAAAVVVVAAA GOOOOOO" That's what she kept screaming over and over and over again.

My brother had stopped running as soon as he realized I that I was no longer behind him. He hadn't even realized that I had started running towards our mother and the group of vampires until almost too late. He stormed across the field and wrapped his arms around me pulling me back, dragging me away. I could hear him saying something to me, but my whole focus was on what was happening in front of me.

The group that had now advanced to a position right next to my mother stopped dead in their tracks and parted ways a little so that one of the vampires, clearly superior to the others, could walk through, and from my guess whoever it was, was planning on having the first feed.

Rage spread through my body like a fire spreads on gunpowder. I was still fighting my brother's death grip on me as he continued to drag me away when the vampire that was let through the group of evil creatures looked up from his gaze on my mother, locking eyes with me.

I stopped fighting my brother, instantly becoming absorbed into his golden globes. My brother took a moment longer to stop dragging me trying to figure out why I suddenly stopped moving.

My eyes stayed locked onto the vampires golden orbs, even as he slowly moved behind my mother, watching his every move. His hand was slowly trailing up my mother's arm as she was frozen in place, tears leaving shimmering rivers on her pale complexion. He kept eye contact with me throughout it all — his hand stopping at the back of her head where her hair meets the skin on her neck. He snapped her head to the side using his grip on her hair as his instrument of pain, and I could hear the small whimper she released. He looked at her neck and then straight back to me before he smirked at me.
