Bloodlines - Book One - COMPLETE

Chapter 24

I woke up in a bed. In a panic and covered in sweat. A damp cloth was on my forehead and I was tightly wrapped under the covers.

Looking to my left I see a windowed seating area. It seemed to be late in the night. I felt weak, and tired.

But this feeling in the pit of my stomach told me to run. That something was wrong and I needed to escape.

As if on cue my door opened and I sat up. I recognized this person, they were one of the few people that took care of me and they were in terrible shape. Worse than terrible she was dying. Blood oozed from her neck and she was holding herself on door frame. "Niña." She gargles.

She pushes herself forward and stumbles toward the dresser. Leaning on the dresser she holds her neck with one hand and holds one out to me. "Niña, come with me. Not safe."

I get up and rush to her. "Miss García!" As soon as I got over she dropped lifeless to the ground.

"No…" Tears fall down my face and I go to reach her. But stopped at the sound of glass breaking.

So I did the obvious thing and jogged to with great difficulty. I was wheezing and coughing the whole way. My vision was fuzzy and I fought every fiber to pass out.

Walking toward my dads chambers the door was ajar, the sound of heavy thuds stopped my tracks.

The sound of growls and objects being thrown.

Shuffling toward the door the fighting stopped and the scene replayed but in more details

The room was destroyed. More bodies strung around the room.

The figure held my mom its arms and sucking the life out of her. My father in two a couple feet away on the ground, close to the roaring fire.

My moms eye open and she opens her mouth. And I found see her gather her strength and scream. "Run, Amilia!"

My mother's capture lets go of her neck and sits up. Slowly he turns and laughs. "So your daughter was here." Dropping my mother he sculks toward me. "Come here little girl." 

The room was dark and with the only light source being the fire I couldn't make out his face. But his bloody fangs glowed and so did his crimson eyes.

I start to run but the man stops me and lifes me to him and immediately bites down on my neck.

My mouth open and I try to scream and fight my way out but I was so weak. I could barely move my arms and get out a breath. I just whimpered.

And my killer growls in pleasure as he sucks the life out of me. Gulp after gulp. With every pull I felt my life force drain.

But something stopped him, he pulled away and I saw the veins on his neck turn black and thick, like tar was moving threw them. "What the fuck did you do." He chokes and my neck.

His hard features revealed to me, saw Stephan hisses and glares down at me.

His eyes are black pits and the veins around his eyes black like the ones on his neck. Blood oozed from his mouth and just like his veins black goop came out of his mouth.

This burst of energy came rushing through me. And just like every time before. 

Gripping his wrist he began to burn. His sleeve caught fire. Cursing he dropped me and walks away trying to patting out the fire.

He turns around and raises a hand but i pull one of those burning logs in the pit up and ram it into his back.

The stake pierced through his chest. He started to stumble backward and he tried to hold his ground but fell to the ground.

Looking over at my mom she was dragging herself to me. I shuffle myself over to her the energy draining from me. And with each step I got closer to the ground to the point weird I was crawling.

I fell in her lap and she hugs me wailing. "No no no!" She began mumbling and saying things I couldn't understand. She cradled me and comfort me as i slowly faded.

As the world faded she heals me and then I was out.

Everything came back when I was in David's caramel eyes and my hand on his cheek. His caramel eyes shift to emerald green and he looks at me in awe.

I uses the last bit of my vampire charm to compel him to protect me. And it worked for so many years.
