A Vampire's Touch

Chapter 30 ~•My Last Steps•~

The prison cells here are dark and dirty. You can't see a thing if you aren't a vampire. I can see spiders scattering around, and spider webs covering the whole prison. I see a dark, humped figure chained at the wrists lying on the wall, sleeping.

I walk up to the figure and punch him right in the face. His head flys to the side, and he wakes up.

"What the hell!?" The figure shouts. He stares at me and relaxes a bit. "What do you want? And why would you punch your own father?"

"You are not my father!" I shout, rage pulsing through my veins.

"Well I was married to you mother and we had-"

"Don't give me the whole 'how a baby is born' lesson. I already know that stuff."

"Then I am your father aren't I?"

"No, you are not. It takes more then that to be a father. You have to care and love your son, and make him become a good person and teach them good life lessons. Fathers are supposed to hold you when you cry, and show you the ways of life. You did none of that!"

"I gave you shelter and food, is that not enough?" Sir William asks.

"No! I don't care for those things! I'd rather have love and care then have that!"

"Then you're officially crazy."

I pull my arm back and swing it hard at Sir Williams face. I see blood trickle down his face.

"Did you shoot the arrow at Grace?" I ask.

"Of course I did."

"Why?" I demand.

"Because if I can't have her powers, then no one can!"

I kick Sir William hard at the ribs. He groans in pain and I look at him menacingly. "She belongs to no one, if Grace wants to belong to someone then she can. But she can't be forced to be."

Sir William laughs and stares weakly at me. "Is she dead? I hope so, I'd love to finally see you in pain."

I stare angrily at Sir William. I grab his neck and start to choke him. Then I scrunch up my fist and repeatedly punch him in the face, until there is blood everywhere. I stop and take a step back, wiping my mouth.

"I was always in pain. I just never realized until I met Grace. And no, Grace isn't dead, she is perfectly fine," I say.

"If she's fine why did you ask me if I hit the arrow at her?" Sir William says while spitting out blood from his mouth.

"Because-because......"

"Because she's dead?" Sir William says happily.

I grab a knife from my pocket and stride towards Sir William. I grab his body and put the knife right at his heart.

"Kill me, kill me now!" Sir William shouts.

My hand starts to shake as I keep the knife at his heart. I stare into Sir Williams hateful glare. My whole body starts to sweat. I get up and put the knife away. I open the prison gate.

"That's right, you would never kill me," Sir William says.

"That's not true. I just want you to suffer so much, to the point where you actually want to die." And with that I close the prison gate without another glance back.

•Grace's POV•

I feel someone near, someone I know and love passionately. I try to open my eyes, but yet again they don't budge.

I feel something soft and warm touch my hand. I then realize it's a hand, trying to hold mine. I move my finger a bit.

I hear a gasp, "Grace? Did you move your hand?" I hear Ethan say.

I move it again, "hey, doctor she moved!"

I hear footsteps coming towards me. "She couldn't have moved."

"But she did! Watch, Grace move your hand again," Ethan says.

I try to move my hand but it won't budge again.

"See, she didn't move. I think you're seeing things. You should leave here and rest."

"I won't leave Grace's side, never. I will always be with her," that's the last thing I hear before I drift away.

~~~

I can finally move my eyes, I peel them open slowly because of the bright light. When I finally get my eyes open, I peer around the room.

I'm in a familiar room, it's the doctor room in the castle.

So we won the war? We have the castle now?

I turn my head to the side to see Ethan's hair in my face. His head is lying on my shoulder asleep, and his hand is in mine.

I laugh and Ethan bolts upright. He looks at me shocked, then he smiles so big he looks like the grinch.

"Grace? You're awake!!"

"Glad to see you too. How long have I been out?" I ask.

"Maybe for three weeks."

"Oh, damn. What happened?"

"You don't remember?" Ethan asks.

"No, I just remember lying on the floor in pain and you carrying me."

Ethan leans over and kisses me on the cheek. "I'm glad you're awake. Anyways, what happened was we were in war with the vampires, and you were like a freaking ninja on the battle field."

I start to laugh. "Only you can make me laugh while I'm in pain."

Ethan smiles, "then an arrow came and went in your back. And that's basically a short form of the story."

"That explains the excruciating pain in my back. So we won the war?"

"Yes, and now we have the castle to ourselves. And don't worry, we will do a bit of renovating so it won't have bad memories."

"I have good memories here as well, with you," I say and smile.

"Well who wouldn't have good memories with me?" Ethan asks jokingly.

I laugh, and lift myself up. I try to move my legs to the side of the bed, to get off, but I can't move my legs. I then realize it's numb.

"Ethan, why can't I move and feel my legs?"

"Well......um. I hate to tell you this, but...."

"But what?"

"You can never walk again."
