Chapter 10: Eight Lives 

I heard screams; painful loud screams and I wondered who was screaming.

Oh, silly me, it was me! Then I laughed awkwardly, my voice came up in weird gurgling sounds. I couldn't see who was holding me; but whoever was holding me held me a little too tight but I was too lazy to argue.

I could hear mass shouting's but I was too lazy to bother about them; I was so tired, so tired...and slowly I saw nothing else but darkness...

It was cold, freezing cold to the point where my fingers could drop off. 

Weird, where am I?

I could feel the hard rough ground beneath me, it is wet.

Why am I lying on a wet street?

Wait...street? How did I get here?

I sat up quickly and looked around. I shivered as a cold breeze swept through me. It seems like I am sitting in the middle of a street, a street that I do not recognize.

The buildings surrounding me looked like those old fashioned buildings, like the ones we see in the movies. The street was dimly lit and empty. The air tasted like it had just rained previously. It was so quiet that if someone were to drop a pin from a mile away, I would definitely still be able to hear it.

I felt the hairs on my neck stand and I shivered, not from cold but from something else...

Something in my gut tells me that this street is not as quiet as it seems.

Something is roaming out there; something dark and dangerous.

That is when I heard loud cheery laughter and chatter just around the corner and my curiosity kicked in. Their voices sounded eerily familiar...I pushed myself up and walked towards the laughing crowd.

Then I saw them.

Laughing happily and teasing around, they looked like the perfect happy family free of problems.

The Donahue brothers.

Except that there is a girl with them.

She was breathtakingly beautiful even for a mere human. How do I know they are humans? Their sun-kissed skin shows it all. She has long bleach blond hair that rolls down in curls to her waist, her honey-colored skin flawless and like the entire Donahue family; she has amazing warm blue eyes.

Then it hit me.

Ashlie.

None of them seemed to notice me as they passed by laughing happily at a joke Maxine said. They looked different compared to when I met them. For one thing, they looked happy. Happiness was practically radiating off them. Even that sarcastic sadistic mean nasty everybody-hating black-loving Dominic looked happy. He seemed to be enjoying being the youngest brother since he is receiving the most attention from Ashlie.

Even though they are not vampires they stood out pretty well in their human form. The Donahue brothers definitely still looked hot, but the one that stood out most is Ashlie. She has this way of making you unable to move your eyes away once you laid your eyes on her.

I made a conclusion that I must be somewhere back in the nineties and how I got here? I have not the slightest idea. But I decided it's best if I just follow them.

So I did.

"I am grateful that you agreed to come with us for dinner instead of spending time with our old man, little Ashlie." Human Maxine said as he gave his sister a warm smile.

"Oh, do not be so harsh on him, brother. He is just protective of us now that mother is no longer here." Ashlie said; her voice sounded surprising musical. She looked no older than sixteen.

I didn't listen on as they talked about some other things. So they lost their mom at a young age too. But if they are human now, then how did they end up turning into vampires?

My question, however, was quickly answered.

Suddenly Dominic stopped walking and stared straight at me.

My body tensed, can he see me?

No, wait. He can't possibly see me. He is looking down the alley I'm standing at. I turned slightly but saw nothing.

"What is it, little brother?" Ashlie stopped walking and asked when she noticed Dominic had stopped walking with them. The rest stopped too and continued to look at Dominic.

Dominic pointed down the dark alley, "Someone is there."

Ashlie tensed up, her face clouded with worry. "Maybe we should go now, Christopher." The older brother nodded quickly, "Come on now, brothers. Let us go now." The other brothers nodded obediently but Dominic continued to stare down the alley behind me. Ashlie pulled at her brother gently, "Come, Dominic. Let us leave for home."

"Home? That sound like a friendly place to be."

I turned abruptly to the voice but saw nothing down the alley. Apparently I am not the only one that heard it. The rest of the Donahue siblings heard it too. Now they looked panicked.

"Hurry, let us make haste," Ashlie urged her brothers and they all agreed to leave but something stopped them at their tracks. I walked ahead to see what had stopped them and my blood froze immediately.

There in the middle of the street, standing in front of them is a beautiful woman with the palest skin and impossibly dark eyes. Her long black hair falls in curls below her shoulder and she smiled a dazzling smile at us. Well, at the Donahue's to be exact.

The Donahue siblings seemed more relieved when they saw that the stranger was a woman, probably thinking it is safer. But my instinct told me otherwise.

"Oh, it is just a lady." I heard Adrian whispered to his younger twin brother, Edwin who smirked in return, "A very beautiful one too,"

I rolled my eyes; modern or old times, is that all boys could think of?

"Evening, ma'am," Maxine tipped his hat at the lady, "It is not safe to be outside here alone; do you need us to accompany you home?" Maxine smiled charmingly at the woman but the woman gave a low chuckle.

I mentally rolled my eyes at how much of a ladies' man Maxine sounded like. I can bet he is popular among the ladies because of his sweet mouth and smooth ways.

"What a charming young man we have here, do we not? Now, now, it is not safe for you little kids to be out here in a group." The woman smiled darkly to reveal her little fangs and the Donahue brothers immediately took a step back. "You never know when you might meet a hungry vampire."

I screamed for them to run but it was all too late. They cannot hear me anyways.

A female vampire alone, what harm can she do?

Oh, she can tear their throat and sink her pretty pearly whites into their yummy looking necks.

And she did.

Right in front of me, that beautiful vampire attacked Christopher first by ripping his throat open with her hands. My stomach churned when the being so haughtily beautiful suck on what I assume is a chunk of Christopher's meat. Next was Maxine and later Victor and Sebastian, each of them trying desperately to protect Ashlie but gotten their throats ripped out instead. Even Dominic, the youngest sibling who tried to protect his older sister from the wraith of a blood crazed corpse, had his neck brutally tore out and his blood splattered all over the walls. The last was Ashlie and the vampire was not gentle with her either.  

Standing there while screaming my head off, I witnessed the scene of a female vampire single-handedly murder eight of the Donahue siblings.

Just in one night.

Just in one minute. 

Eight lives gone...
