Army of the Damned

VOLUME 8 EXTRA CHAPTER PART 2

"Oh goodness, feisty aren't we?"

He tried battling her grip, but the woman wasn't letting go and even tightened her hands a bit more. Pinning him completely on the wall as she loomed over his body like a beast that has cornered its food for the day.

"I am the Ancient Vampire Queen, the one that ruled all of the species of the land once upon a time and took my kin to heights no other conqueror or leader could even comprehend. And you?"

"Ancient Vampire Queen?! How?! Dracula never had a wife!"

"Oh, but I am not of this world, mortal, nor of this history at all. But I do like thy society's depiction of my kin. Now, speaketh to me true and I shall let thee live for now."

"As if I'll talk. You can kill me right here right now."

"Hmmm, I can sense it. The vigor of a youngin', that liveliness in thou's eyes. It makes me wreath with hunger. I wonder how thee taste'eth?"

"Turn me and I will die out. We're in the open Sun you bitch."

"Ah yes. Of course. The lowly weaklings that dare call themselves vampires roam this land correct? Direct me to them."

"Ha, as if I'll do that."

"Thou has a British accent. I've met some of your people before. Odd fellows but deary with their words and humor. I hope you can be just as entertaining."

"Let me go and we'll dance."

"If I let thou go, it wouldn't even be a fight. At best, you could take on a Vampire Thrall. Not the real deal."

Elizabeth leans in dangerously close to his face, with her devilish smile and pretty face. The man continues to fight for his hands and reach for his weapon. Soon, he stops to catch his breath and think. But out of nowhere, the Queen lets her hands off him. With a quick draw, he points his gun at her which she swipes away continuously. Every attempt he made shut down even before he could think of the next move.

"Thou art done?"

"Hah... hah... hah... what the fuck..."

"Surprised? I have told you, Thou risen far above other Vampires and the Sun no longer affects thee."

"Heh, boss is going to have a fun time with a monster like you. Hah... hah... hah..."

"Hm. I'm sure he will. Now, answer me or I'll cut thee into thirty pieces to be found days later."

She raises her right hand and opens her hand as if her gloves had claws on them.

"As if I'll let a Vampire Queen return to her subjects. I'm not that insane."

"Oh, but you are already insane. Even with the deep feeling of my danger, you came here looking for fight and blood. Now look at where you are. Think youngin' and know its better to fight another day than die in a battle where one's weapons haven't changed a thing."

"If I could delay you, then that's all I need."

"And then what? I'll merely do the same to your boss. So better just do as thou say'et and be humble."

"After what you've done to my Mom and sister?! Do you think I'll let this slide?!"

"Now now, that's them. Not me, you should be glad I didn't turn thee into a thrall and be done with it. I respect humans more now that I've been with one. I want to respect thou's autonomy, but do push me and I will do what is necessary."

"Just who the bloody hell are ya'?! Carmilla?!"

"Haaaaa... this is getting tiring. Why am I connected to that novel so much? Thy's name is not even near hers but near another woman from your past."
