Chapter Fourteen

Family?

I must have passed out for a good few minutes, because when I came around, I was lying on a large table, seeing gleaming yellow eyes that definitely didn’t belong to someone who’d come to my rescue. My entire body was stiff, and dull pain was spreading everywhere. Even my throat felt like I’d swallowed razorblades, but it was probably from dehydration. I sensed magic slowly drifting around me.

“Fae are common, silly creatures who think they are better than us. I don’t want to touch that unworthy piece of scum.” A male voice reached me, but whoever was speaking was mumbling, so I could barely understand him. On top of everything, he had a strange accent.

Memories floated inside my mind as I sat up, and the warlock appeared in front of me, then I realised that the scary eyes I’d seen belonged to him.

“What the—”

I couldn’t even finish my question, because then I realised he had fangs. I was wrong… I’d been so wrong—he wasn’t a warlock at all, but another vampire. He lunged for me before I could even anticipate what he was trying to do, sinking his disgusting fangs into my neck.

It was all too much, the agonising pain paralysed me, and as he started drinking my blood, I became lost. Nothing else mattered; my limbs went numb instantly, as I drifted into a state of oblivion. I’d been weakened earlier, and now I had no strength left within me to fight him.

At least the craving for blood was slowly fading, but then I heard a whisper. I didn’t want to listen when it told me I couldn’t just give up. This vampire was draining my inner essence.

I didn’t want to listen to the annoying voice inside my head. I just needed that vampire to keep drinking from me, to take all my energy so I didn’t have to worry about anything else. Then the whisper became louder and louder, and I realised I had to keep fighting, that I couldn’t just give up.

An image of Ramona and Lachlan rolled through my mind. They seemed happy and I didn’t care anymore. Sometime later, I roared out in anger and kicked my oppressor between his legs, not even knowing where this added strength had come from. Everything was slowly coming back to me. He instantly pulled away, screaming and cursing.

Straight after, he struck me in the face, throwing a knock-out punch. I was done after that—done and dusted.
