Prologue:
I made a mistake. Running away, I mean. It was the worst thing I could've done. Who knows what kind of creatures lurk in the darkness?
I ran from the cottage, into the dark, silent forest. The branches scratched at my arms, making thin, bleeding wounds. I don't know where I was going, but I had to get away.
I heard someone call my name. "Anastasia!" it called, but only reached deaf ears. Something moved on my left. It was just an animal, or so I thought. I heard a howl in the distance, then several hisses around me.
No, they can't have found me. It was just my mind. I always had a wild imagination. It was silent again, except for the noice I made. I heard a soft growl and pushed myself harder.
Thorns now stuck to my bare feet, but I kept going. I saw lights ahead. I hoped it was the town, or a camp made by humans. I broke through the tree line, running into the busy street. Torches provided the only light.
I slowed down a bit, heading for the local inn. I reached the door and opened it slowly. I heard only two voices. "We have to fing her. She's our property, but is proving difficult." I heard a deep voice say. "Of course. If she comes in here I'll send someone to get you." answered another voice. I peeked through the opening.
There was a man behind a table. He had broad shoulders and a bald head. I think his name was Bruce. He was the only innkeeper that was ever nice to me. I only saw the back of the other man. I did see his black hair and broad, obviously muscular, shoulders. He turned slightly, most likely hearing my rapid heartbeat. His eyes were red as blood and he had fangs, which were only slightly visible behing his smirk.
He stared right at me and my blood ran cold. I had to run, to get away, but his gaze kept me in place. "On second thought, I think I've found her. Come here, child." the vampire said. I had no choice but to comply.
He had a firm hold on my mind. I went in slowly, trying to resist. The door slammed shut behind me. I knew it was another one. The one behind me came into my view. He looked seventeen, my age. Well, he looked like that. He must have been a lot older. I only saw him smirk, when my vision went black.
When I woke up again, I was in the woods again. I was bound to a tree. I looked to my left, seeing two others. One boy, one girl. Both looked my age. Someone came closer to us and my gaze snapped in their direction.
This time it was a woman. She had hazel brown hair reaching just below her shoulders. She seemed a bit thin. Well, for one of them that is. She looked at all of us in turn. First the other girl, who resembled the woman. Then the boy, who resembeled the large man in the inn.
Then she turned to me. "Who are you?" she asked in a voice full of authority. "I'm many thing." I stated. "Watch your tongue!" she snapped. "Or what, you'll kill me?" I mocked. "Or this." a voice said from the other side of the tree. I then felt blades, no, claws scrape against my skin.
"Oh look, a puppy trying to play alpha." I taunted him. "Why you!" He yelled. He was cut off w=by a laugh. The woman, she was laughing. "Oh, if you survive you'll fit in perfectly!" Laughed the woman. "Wait, survive what?" The boy asked. The woman didn't answer but instead, walked away. The claws left as well.
I don't know how long we were tied there. The clearing stayed dark as night. The other two slept, but I stayed awake. I wouldn't be able to sleep even if I tried. It was because of those vampires, werewolves and who knows what else.
Finally, they lit a fire. It was in the middle of the clearing. I could now see dozens of gleaming eyes in the surrounding trees. "Let the ritual begin!" a voice called from behing me. Three different creatures came forward. It was the vampire boy from the inn, a girl with long blond hair and another boy. The last one was different.
He had black hair with a slight blue hue. His eyes, instead of the normal red for vampire or gold for werewolf, his were black. His hair and eyes only made his pale skin appear even paler. They each had a pole which looked like they were made from some strange metal. The sharpened tips of the poles were red hot.
They came closer to us. The vampire boy first approached the girl. She looked up, obvious fear in her eyes. He pulled his arm back and thrusted the pole through her heart, deep into the tree. At this the other captive's eyes widened. I merely looked on. I've seen all this when I was seven.
Next the girl approached the boy. She did the exact same, except she thrusted it through his throat. Here my eyes widened ever so slightly. They hadn't did this ten years ago.
The last boy slowly came to me. "The other two died and so will you." He stated in a cold, cruel voice. He pulled his arm back and aimed for my head. He thrusted, but I moved my head. The pole went completely through the tree.
The boy grabbed the pole and pulled it out. He then thrusted again, this time the pole going through my skull. He then smirked as my vision blurred. I felt the pain, but attempted to block it out. I felt them cut the roped that once bound me.
I used what little strength I had to lift my arms and pull out the pole. Nothing. I couldn't smell anymore. I heard a voice, but I couldn't focus on it. I wante the pain to end. I tried again, this time trying to change my emotions into strength. The sadness, rage and fear all got the adrenaline flowing. I pulled even harder and felt it loosen.
I felt different. Maybe that's a side effect of having a pole stuck in your head. I snapped my eyes open and pulled again, this time the pole came out. I could see, hear, smell and feel again. "Welcome, Demon Reborn." the woman from before said. -
Love it.
