Magic? (Book 1 of The Aluna Search) (completed)

Chapter 6

Lina awaken to the sound of dripping. Her eyes felt heavy but she forced them open. The room was dark, cold and damp. The walls were made of cobblestone. Red, dried, blood stained the walls. the cold wall send shivers down her back. Her legs felt numb scrunched under her and her arms weak hanging above her head by chains. There was a bucket on the floor with red liquid in it. 'Blood!' she though in fear following the dripping to its source. There was a cut on her fore arm after where it was chain. It looked infected and oozing. 'What happened?'

'I walked outside the nightclub. A man followed me. He. He. He was a vampire. And then. Sirge came. When the vampire jumped he was so fast. He took me to and old building. Then cut me with his long nail. When he drank my blood his mouth burned..... Then he hit me on the head now I’m here. Why did his mouth burn?'

Keys jangled in the lock

"Sirge!" Lina called out in hope.

"That's a nice name" a slithering voice replied. “No, do you remember me?" the voice said as a man stepped into the moonlight. The man was covered in black his hair was light brown. He grin to revile fangs,

"What! No," Lina gasped her heart quickened.

"I don't think I have told you my name. It's Alex." his grin widened. Lina struggled backward away from him. "What’s your name darling?" he asked and took a step towards her. Lina kept her silence. "I'll ask again, what is your name?" His grin deflated. Lina shook her head. Alex brought his face right up infront of Lina. Irritated he said "What. Is. Your. Name?!" Lina cringed.

"What’s this?" Alex asked grabbing her left shoulder causing the chains to rattle. "Is this a tattoo?" Alex screamed.

"I’ve never seen it before." Lina pleaded. It seemed to be a marking, a crescent in a circle. She had never seen it before her friend had said "nice tat. When you get it done?" in the night club. Alex seemed to be scared of it he looked over at where her blood was draining and fled the room.

'How odd' Lina thought.

'Silly girl! I guess I will have to track her magic signature’

 Sirge pulled out what looked to be an iPhone. He slid a stylus out of the top and started tapping the screen.

'MMM there's two I’ll go to the weaker one maybe... but what she did.... MM stronger one it is." he pulled the handle on the motor bike and whisked down the street.

"She really is a silly girl"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"In there the new one yeah"

"odd marking what are you talking about?"

 "Just have a look. You’re the only one with the right equipment." Lina's heart skipped a beat.

 'Are they going to dissect me?!' raced back into the room followed by a women in a white coat carrying a brown leather bag. Her shoulder was once again yanked by Alex.

"See!" Alex yelled.

"How? How did you get this!" the woman yelled.

"I haven't seen it before!" Lina pleaded looking around the room for a way out. The vampire's icy hands ripped the chain right out the wall.

 "Please! PLEASE!" Lina screamed for her live.

"Be quiet" Alex's icy hand hit hard and stony on the back of Lina's head. Everything went black.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"What?" Sirge querie it can't be "she coming to me?" Sirge twisted to find her, but she was nowhere. "I don't get it." He said out loud. "how could someone be standing in fount of me and yet she's not here?'

"MEOOOOOWW" Sirge looked down at his feet.

"Honesty! A cat! Hey, whatcha have here?" Sirge reached down a grabbed an orb of blue from the black cat's mouth. "NO!" he immdelily dropped it "it can't be.ALUNA! WHERE ARE YOU?" Sirge yelled in hope. His knees buckled and suck down onto the ground.

“are you, Aluna?" he asked the cat

 "Meow."

"Though not. Aluna had pure white like a swan she was graceful and I owe her my magic." he whispered the black cat. "Beside" he said cheerily "she had blue eyes you have green plus she would be a white cat." Sirge sighed "if you know where she tell her I’m going to find her." determination swelled up inside of him. 'Pete you were right she is alive' Sirge picked up the orb and gazed into it.

He saw himself laughing and holding a hand, a girl's hand. His eye were closed and was being lead. The person giggled.

"dahdah! Her name's snow look she likes you." the boy, himself, patted snow

"thank you for the gift but I don't know what to give back."

"Simple" the person replied the hand without a body reached out and kiss the boy.

A smile creped along his mouth. 'My first kiss I shared was with you, Aluna. Snow ran away once you disappeared I found her again but she didn't like me why? But this is a memory, your memory. Once I find you I’ll hold you tight forever'
