Running with shadows

chapter one

The loud sound of water dripping caused Victor's eyes to snap open his head hurt and he could tell someone had knocked him good he went to lift his hand to his head but found they were bound behind his back growling with frustration he took a moment to gather his surroundings but the blackness surrounding him quickly told him all he needed to know. With his hands tied he had very little room to move around but manged to fish his pocket knife out of his back pocket and free his bonds. Fuck that shit hurts he thought to him self rubbing his wrists finding them still a bit bloody and raw meaning he had been tied up for a while. Making him wonder how long he was out for. But the main thing that bugged him was where was his sister she had been with him last before hell what did happen? He cursed as he heard  foot steps he quickly scrambled to his feet knife in hand he wasn't going to go down with out a fight not when he had no idea what happened or where his sister Emily was but he would soon find out. The door to the cell he was in opened and he was instantly blinded by a bright light. A laugh echoed through the cell followed  by a woman's voice "Now darling do you really think that knife is going to save you"? Her laugh was cold and chilling showing him she had no fear in the knife he held. "Who are you and what have you done with Emily if you hurt her I will end you"! He spat as his eyes adjusted to the light to see a tall skinny pale white skinned woman with long black hair standing in the door way of the small cell he was in her black silk dress hugging her frame. "Ah yes your sister fiesty one she is won't shut up about you now if you play nice I'll let you see her if you don't it will cost you" "What do you want"? "All in due time my boy you will soon understand everything but first a promise is a promise follow me and I will take you to your sister". She said  leaving the room Victor paused amoment before following her the knife he held in his hand  with a tight grip still waiting incase he had to defend himself he could care less what the woman wanted once he had a chance he was going to get his sister out and kill who ever tried to stop him. He snapped out of his thoughts as his eyes fell on his sister who was tied to a chair a gag in Her mouth and fresh blood on her chin the cut on her lip looked pretty fresh. Anger coursed through him that bitch had hit her she would pay for that he looked at the woman who said "Now here's what's going to happen you belong to me I own you both no one can help you not even the police so now that is out of the way... " "Excuse me what the fuck did you say you don't own shit"! I yelled lunging at her with the knife only to be flung through the air like a rag doll crashing through a coffee table. The woman hissed as fangs slid from her gums causing me to gasp in horror my body frozen unable to move. " That my dear will cost you" as she grabbed Emily's hair yanking her head to the side before plunging her fangs in to her throat draining her of her blood in a matter of seconds before shredding her throat. My body still frozen with fear unable to move as I was forced to watch in horror unable to do anything she turned to look at me with a big bloody smile and said "Like I said it would cost you".

Victor Cross shot up in his bed  the same nightmare he had been having every night for six months since that night he lost his sister every detail was spot on like it was when he watched as a vampire had tore his sisters throat out  he managed to escape that night but barely he was just relieved that it was just a dream and he was still at his hide out  since that night he never stayed in one place for long he knew she was looking for him he belonged to her due to a debt paid by his parents before they died in a house fire when he was 15 and his sister was 14. But he refused to submit to her he was not going to be owned like a piece of property. Looking at his wrists seeing the scars from the ropes he rubbed them before looking at the clock that read three thirty am fuck he mutter getting out of bed heading to the kitchen to start some coffee before jumping in the shower.
