When they Whisper

Capture

Hunters POV
I felt so energized when I woke up this morning. Today was the day. My Scarlet will finally be back in my arms. I looked over at Isaiah. He was slumped over asleep. Chase was already awake making sandwiches.

"It's about time," Chase said. "Wake up your little friend and feed him." Chase tossed me a sandwich. I stood up and walked over to Isaiah, gently nudging him. No response. I shook him. No response. I sigh.

"Wake up." I said as I smacked him. He slowly raised his head.

"What the fuck dude?"

"Wake up next time. Here, eat." I said pushing the sandwich in his face. He looked at it cautiously, but soon finally took a bite.

"I hate this. This is so embarrassing." Isaiah said with a mouthful.

"It's this or starve take your pick."

Isaiah fell silent as he took another bite. I didn't like it any more than he did. After he finished I ate my food. Today was going to be a great day, and I'm not going to do it on an empty stomach.

"Relax today Hunter," Chase said to me. "We need all of our energy for tonight."

~That night~

Vincent's pov
I went out again to work out some tension. I could feel those violent urges get stronger and stronger. I didn't really like having those feelings. Oh who am I kidding this feeling is amazing. The warm blood on my hands, but the hurt it causes people. They deserve it.

I clench my hand into a fist. No injuries tonight. Good, Scarlet won't worry. She is probably up right now anyway. I wish she would go to bed. That would make this easier.

Suddenly, my heart started thumping. There was ringing in my ears. My breathe fell short. I sat down on the curb to catch my breath, and for what ever was happening to stop. I look up to see the spirits hovering under the street light.

"Jesus, right now? I gotta get home." I said standing up to walk away. Only to find one floating right in front of me. I jump back away from it.

"Your not doing anything to help your case Vincent."

"What?"

He points behind me, and I slowly turn to look. A man was standing in the shadows. I clench my fist ready to attack. He steps closer, and I can see his clothes covered in blood. His eyes pitch black, with a solid white dot inside. His skin was....purple. Purple skin? I didn't know there was anyone else with purple skin. His name tag read William.

I looked into his eyes and he gave gave me a wicked smile.  The children started to come out from behind him.

"Is that who you wish to be? Alone and insane?"

I stepped back and hit something hard. I turn to see a withered, golden rabbit I cupped my hand over my mouth and nose. It wreaked of rotting flesh. It grabbed me by my shoulders and lifted me up. I was to afraid too do anything.

"You choose your own path Vincent," a spirit whispered in my ear. "Only you can choose to change this."

The street lamp flickered and I was back on the ground. Everything was silent. I looked around and saw no one. I need to hurry home before anything else happens.

Scarlets pov
I woke up to find Vincent gone. Again. I heard some noise coming from the living room. He must be home by now. I tip toe my way down the hallway. I was going to try to lecture him again before he swooned me into forgiving him. I just can't resist his smile and his pearl white eyes.

I walk into the living room to find nothing but a few candles lit. We didn't have candles? I felt fear start to rise from the pit of my stomach. Suddenly a voice came from behind me.

"Oh, Scarlet. You weren't supposed to wake up yet."

I turn around and found Hunter standing with a rose. I was frozen in fear. My heart was thumping in my chest. He smiles sweetly at me.

"What is it? Something on my face?" He asked innocently.

"What the hell are you doing in my house?"

"Your house? I'm pretty sure this isn't your house. I was already at your house and there was nothing but ash. Sooo."

He took a step closer to me. I flinched and took a step back.  Hunter sighed sadly.

"I'm not going to hurt you. Why would I hurt you." He said annoyed. I didn't respond.

"The only person I want to hurt is Vincent. Where is he anyway? Figured he would be here since this is his house." He asked looking around. I looked away sadly.

"Oh honey, didn't he leave you? I knew he would, that man is a piece of shit."

"We didn't break up Hunter. He is just.... out at the moment. I-I'm sure he will be back any moment."

Hunter looked displeased with my answer. He dropped the rose on the ground and approached me. I stood my ground.

"If that's the case we gotta speed things up to make this easier. Cmon. Let's go." He gently grabbed my arm and pulled I didn't budge.

"No. Why would I go with you?"

Hunter looked back with sadness in his eyes.

"Scarlet you leave me no choice. I didn't want to do this but, Chase." He snapped his fingers and I suddenly felt a cloth being pulled tight over my mouth. Hunter picked me up over his shoulder and rope was tied around my feet. The guy named Chase came around to tie my hands together. He had no emotion whatsoever. 

"Blow out the candles I'm going." Hunter said as he walked away with me. I tried to struggle free but it was no use. I finally gave up and began to cry.

Vincent, why did you have to go out tonight.
