Lost

Vampire...?

Chapter 4:

I woke to the smell of something cooking. I didn't know how long I had been asleep but the food was tormenting. I got out of bed, slowly making my way to the door, peeking out to see what was going on. She was standing in an open room with her back to me, leaning over something in frustration. I walked over to see what was happening, she was cooking eggs, and not doing very well either. I sighed, grabbing the pan from her.

"Here." I said, emptying the eggs into the bin and getting new ones. After cooking them she passed me two plates, serving them up we sat down on opposite ends of the table to eat in silence. After I finished, I took my plate to the sink and scrubbed it clean. I walked slowly back into the living room, once again taking a seat on the armchair. I was in deep thought when I felt something on my arm. I looked down to see her finger running along the gash, healing it as it went. My mouth almost dropped open, how was she doing this? I watched as she did my other arm, then my forehead. She opened her mouth slightly but then shut it again, furrowing her brows, creating the dimple between her eyes.

"Who um… who did this to you?" She looked at me. I looked down ashamed, not wanting to make eye contact. Did I lie to protect my parents or did I tell her. Did I want to protect those monsters?

"My parents tried to kill me," I said, still not making eye contact. "They have beaten me since I was a child, but this time they tried to kill me. I would have died if I didn't have the paramox, but it didn't work as well because I had been unconscious all night. It was trying to heal old wounds." She looked at me startled for a moment, confusion took over her features.

"You mean to say you survived an entire night with your arms and head open, bleeding?" I looked up at her, confused once again.

"I guess, I don't know, I really don't remember much." I sighed, why was I telling her this? Since when did I give up so easily? I looked back down at my arms,thin blue,green lines followed my vein down to my wrist. How I had survived the night confused me. She stared at me for a second before turning to go sit on the couch across from me. She sat down, sighing, emotions flashing across her eyes.

"Anyway, my name is Vera." She said looking at me. I was shocked for a second but I tried not to let it show. I didn't know they had names, I assumed they'd be numbered or something strange.

"I ...I'm Blake." I looked down, where I came from; everyone had a boy's name. They named us so they could take everyone into the army. She looked at me for a second, eyes blazing before she eventually looked away. "What are you?" I asked, before looking away. She looked down ashamed, thinking before she answered.

"I am a new race of warriors that the council has been creating. We are stronger, faster and are better than any solider they have ever created. They gave us powers, abilities to do the supernatural. I suppose, where you come from, we follow the main traits of what you call vampires." I stared at her, totally confused, vampires were just legends that the elders spoke of to frighten little children into being good. They were monsters, feeding off the innocent, creatures of the night. She seemed to see the confusion flashing over my features. "We do not follow all of the traits of vampires your elders would speak of. We were made by design; we walk in the sun, crosses, garlic and stakes do not harm us." Fear took over my body; maybe she was going to eat me. I started to scramble backwards, over the top of the couch, sprinting towards the door. She stopped me within seconds. I struggled against her, biting and clawing, her grip just tightened on me as she got me to the floor, blocking me with her body. I looked up into her eyes, sweat pouring down my forehead.

"Please don't eat me." I begged, staring into her gaze, begging her with mine. I didn't want to seem weak, but I was terrified. It made sense,she wanted to bring me here to eat. She was going to torture me until I was broken. A new wave of fear spread through my body, tears poured from my eyes, I tried to wipe them away but her body blocked me. I stopped struggling and just lay there, trying to make myself black out. She looked down at me, so close I could feel her breath go over my skin.

"I am not going to eat you,you silly strumpet." She said, getting off me slightly but still holding onto my arm. "It is true that when they first inject us, we are out of control, but we don't need to survive fully on blood. I can eat food as well. I only drink animal blood." She said, as I pulled my arm out of her grip, looking at the forming bruise. She grabbed my arm again, I thought she was going to bruise it more, I whimpered. This time I felt the healing, a calm wave spread over me as I felt my body mending. When she was finished, I was in a state of relaxation. I didn't want to move, calmness spread through my body, bliss. She helped me up as I stumbled lazily to the couch, lying me down, she moved to the armchair across from me, she started talking but I was only half aware of what she was saying. By the end, I was asleep.
