A Vampire's Touch

Chapter 7 ~•The Escape•~

I look at the intruder walking inside. He's a strong and scary looking vampire. His fangs are long and sharp, with blood dripping down them. He walks towards me on my bed. I start to crawl backwards.

~~~
Ethan's POV
I dodge the punch of the intruder and punch him back in the stomach. He leans down and I grab his head and smash it on my knee. I hear a cracking sound and I throw his limp body across the floor.

These vampires came running in our mansion because they want Grace. But I'm not letting that happen.
I see a vampire running up the stairs to Graces room. I start to run when someone grabs my shoulders and throws me to the ground. The ground cracks and I quickly get back up.
I throw a punch at his face but he dodges it and punches my stomach. I gasp in pain, but I kick the back of his knee. He falls forward and I start to punch his face repeatedly. His face is covered in blood and bruises.

The guy falls forward and I run upstairs to Graces bedroom. I dash with my super speed and I see Graces door broken open. I run in and see a guy walking towards her. I quickly run up to him and puncture his neck with my sharp vampire teeth.

He yells in pain and I take my teeth out, and grab his head and snap it to the side. His body falls down to the ground with a huge thud. I look up at Grace, and she looks back at me. She looks so scared and horrified it breaks my heart.

She's looking at me like I'm some kind of monster.

~~~
Graces POV
I stare at Ethan in shock and horror. His eyes are red and his fangs are dripping with blood. I look at the guy on the ground, he's bleeding out on the floor. I look back up at Ethan and his eyes are back to his normal light blue color.

"Grace are you okay?"

I stay speechless and he walks forward. I move back a bit, and he realizes that I'm kind of frightened of him.

"I'm sorry about that. I just didn't want him to hurt you," Ethan says while looking down.

"I-it's okay. I'm just not used to this stuff yet," I reply.

His fangs go back to his normal teeth size. He looks back at me with a bit of surprise.

"You're not scared of me?"

I look at the body on the floor, then back at Ethan.

"Not really, I just need to get used to it."

Ethan smiles then reaches his hand out to me.

"I think we should go," he says.
I grab his hand and get up off the bed. We walk out my room which is now stinky from blood. He leads me to his room and we go to his closet. I open the door in his closet and go up the stairs. We end up in his green house again.

"I have a surprise for you," Ethan says while smiling.

We go to the door and he opens it. I walk out and we are on the roof again. I look to my side to see a little picnic.

"You didn't get to eat this morning. I set this up a while ago but then the vampires came storming in. I hope you like it."

"I love it," I say to Ethan.

We walk to the picnic and we sit down. Ethan sits beside me and he opens the basket. He takes out two sandwiches and two juice boxes. He hands me a sandwich and a juice box. I unwrap the plastic around the sandwich and bite into it.

"Mmmmm," I say while chewing the delicious sandwich.

"I'm guessing you like it?"
"This is amazing!" I say with a full mouth.

Ethan laughs at me. "I used some of the plants I grew and put it in the sandwich."

The whole evening passed in a flash. Me and Ethan laughed and shared secrets together. Ethan said he's never had a girlfriend, and I have had two boyfriends. But they both ended up being jerks.

We laughed so hard our stomachs hurt. I never knew I could ever laugh and smile again, after my family died.
But there's one person that can make me smile and laugh. It's Ethan.

~~~
I look out my window and stare at the half moon. The sky is so dark, but the stars keep it lit up.
I turn around and slowly walk towards the door. I slowly and carefully open my bedroom door, looking both sides of the hallway. No one in sight.

I tiptoe down the stairs to the kitchen. It seems like no ones home, but I know some vampires are guarding this place. I go in the dark kitchen and take some food, and shove it in my bag.

I have thought about this since Ethan said his dad took off the lock on my bedroom door. I finally made my decision and I'm leaving today. I'm gonna escape this mad house. The only sane person in this place is Ethan and Amelia. Speaking of Amelia, I haven't seen her in a while. She doesn't send me breakfast because now I can leave my room.

Just when I was about to leave, I hear someone coming in the kitchen. I crouch behind the counter. The footsteps become slower and louder. I feel a tap on my shoulder and I almost scream.

"Shhhhhh!" says the person.

I look up and see Amelia.

"Amelia?"

"Grace? What are you doing?"

"I'm trying to escape. I can't live in this place anymore. It's making me go insane!" I shout/whisper.

Amelia looks around them looks back at me.

"Wait here, I'll help you," she says then walks away.

After about two minutes, she comes back.

"I told the guards I thought I saw someone out back. They all went there so I can take you to the front."
"Thanks so much Amelia. But what if they find out that you helped me?" I ask in concern.

"It doesn't matter, just come with me quick."

I follow Amelia to the front of the mansion. She punches in a code and the front doors open.

"How do you know the code?"

"I found out a while ago. I never left because I have no one to go to if I leave. Now go before someone sees you!" she says and pushes me lightly towards the door.

"Thank you so much!"

I run out the door and I don't stop. I run as fast as I can, and I push my legs really hard. I run through a forest and I don't look back.

I will survive out here.

But I couldn't help but think of Ethan. I have feelings for him, and he doesn't even know. What if he becomes heart broken when he finds out I left? I push the thoughts away and I keep running.
I can't think of Ethan now, I need to leave this place and live on my own if I have to. I just need to escape.
