I'm Being Stalked By A Ghost & Hunted By A Vampire

Part Fifty-Eight

You blindly leave Rumor behind who is whisper-shouting trying to get you to come back.

You quickly close the door, forgetting about the candle you left burning and make your way towards the stairs.

You felt a deep loathing seething through you as you jump your way up the stairs. You head through the dining room and into the kitchen, quickly seeking out some sort of sharp object to defend and attack with.

You quickly find a butcher steel and grab it; you hope this is sharp enough to stake him, since anything dangerous and sharp enough to pierce his heart is locked away.

You walk fast through the halls passing Alterous' room and making your way down the hall. You come to those beautiful French doors and burst through.

You stand your ground, looking over the room, hoping he's in here. You glance by the fireplace, he's sitting in the chair, looking at your with an interested gleam.

"Back for more darling? I'm a bit busy at the moment." You glance at his hands noticing he has a red-hot fire poker.

You find yourself glaring daggers, but your grimace expression faults when you notice a female on the ground.

The hands, and feet and thighs are bound together, rendering her helpless on the ground. She's blindfolded and her mouth is gaged.

She has nothing on but the rope and her body is blistering with second to third degree burns, "Etelm." Your voice was sharp, hostile, signalling that you are ready for a fight, you hope he picks up on the aggression.

"We need to speak." You make no effort to hide your resentment, if anything you wish for him to know your feelings towards him.

"Well love, you definitely have my attention." He plays, kicking the girl over as he stands.

"To what do I owe the pleasure?" his voice was genuine, but his body gave his true intentions away.

"You're Etelm, you're the one who started all of this!" you find your voice vicious, snarling almost. You try to remain in this mind state; it will be easier to fight when you have the blood flowing from the anger.

"Finally clued in doll?" you shake your head, "Don't call me that!" it drives you insane when he uses the same words Hasten uses.

"You're supposed to be dead! Ryan killed you!" Etelm shrugs stepping closer to you as you remain in your stance, ready if he comes at you.

"True, that is how they tell the story, but I unfortunately have a little spoiler. You see, I did not actually die, it was feigned. You actually think a 14 year old, need I say, untrained hunter could have beaten me?" he looks appalled by the very idea.

"I planned everything out, from the hunters showing up, to their victory over us. Everything happened because I made it happen." You shake your head, tears coming to your eyes.
