It constantly replayed in my mind about what he said, my mind was like a broken record. I had enough, I woke up and took a quick glance at the clock, it was 12:00 a.m., usually at that time people are packed in the clubs. I thought about those cruel words once again, then I told myself that if he thought I was selfish asshole, then fine, I'll be one.
-The Club
Women were stumbling out of the club, they were helpless and drunk, giggling loudly down the allleyway, while desperate guys would take them back to their place, hoping he might get lucky tonight. I strode in, making my way through the crowds of people, while thick clouds filled the air and strobe lights flashing on and off, I finally made it to the bar so I could get a good view of the place. Quietly,I scoped around, looking for my next meal. Intoxicated blood will give you a rush, after you feed you'll get the same feeling like they will, but only more intense. I scanned the club twice, but on my third look, I saw her, it couldn't be her, but she was their! It was Roxy. She looked at me and gave a mischievous grin. I quickly darted to the exit, forgetting about how hungry I was.
She followed me into the alleyway, of course she would follow me, she hasn't seen me in decades. She caught up to me and grabbed me by the shoulder and slowly turned me around to meet her eyes, the same blue eyes , that made me want her, the same eyes that watched me fall to the ground as she killed me.
"Hello Elijah", her words were slowly eating me, I was in a trance when I heard her say my name again.
"What do you want?, Why are you here?!", I spat out quickly, trying to hide the fact that I was shocked to see her again.She gave that mischievous grin again, and said "I missed you", that was complete bull shit, she took a pause to look upon me and said "you're faster since you left me back in 1924, I almost couldn't catch up to you", The memories started to flow back in, I remember waking up in her house, drenched in my own blood, everything was heightened, the sun was so bright that I was almost blind at the first glance, one she told me of who I became, and what I could do, I left, only knowing the simple things of being a vampire.
She saw me as I slowly remembered the past, she gently said "since you left, your family was so worried, even your little sister, she begged me about how she could find you and that she would do anything", my eyes widened, she stopped me before I could say anything else, then she said " So I turned her", my fist clenched into a fist, my body was raging with anger.Then I saw her step out of the shadows, it was my little sister, when I left her she was barely nineteen, I saw her rosy cheeks, her innocent green eyes, and her brown curly hair, just like are father's, but she had that same grin like Roxy, she said " Hello brother"
My eyes were almost swelling in tears just at the sight of my little sister, I remembered protecting her , from the young men who claimed to love her and making her laugh all day when I would always get in trouble with my brother.My eyes then went to Roxy, I was clenching my fist again and I was seeing red, this bitch, I quickly swung at her without a second thought, but something stopped me, I felt cold delicate hands around my fist, my sister had stopped me, inches away roxy's face. I turned to my sister saying " Anna!, she ruined us, she made us into monsters!", she snapped at me, saying "Lies!, she helped me find you, she helped me in the time of need, she never left my side, she was more of a sibling than you were!"
As a great pain welled up in me, slow drips fell on my cheeks, I slowly and quietly said "Anna, stop".She gracefully put both of her hands at the sides of my face, she smiled, and said "Elijah", then her smiled turn to a wicked grin, she quickly snapped my neck, watching me as I fell to the the floor once again.
I awoke in a dark room while chained against the wall, seeing a silhouette of a women in a dress, that women threw me a blood bag and said "drink up",I clearly knew who it was, Roxy. I tugged at the chains, hoping it will break loose. She laughed and said "nice try", I change the subject and said "I'm not drinking the blood", "fine, suit yourself" she said as she grabbed the blood bag. I stared her down from across the room, watching her as she came in and out with torture toys to play with, each time I tried to show no pain, without saying a word to her.
After hours of pain and torture, my sister walked in with a stake in her right hand, I looked at her in disgust, she was a monster. My last thoughts was about my family, my sister, and Randall . She approached me, still with that wooden stake, I closed my eyes and waited for her to pierce the stake into my heart, but before she could raise the stake, the door busted open and there was Randall, with his five o'clock shadow rapidly growing back, Anna turned and saw Randall, as soon as she saw him, her jaw dropped. Randall saw her and said "Anna", in shock and amazement, he shook his head to go back to where I was shackled,and quickly ripped the chains from the wall grabbing my wrist as we quickly ran to the car where he drove us back to our hotel. I was frustrated and confused, how does he know Anna.
