Chapter Three

The redheaded girl stood a yard or so behind him, body rigid and tense, jade eyes locked vacantly on his face.

One of her hands was slightly extended, as though she'd been reaching for him, and stayed that way for several moments before slowly falling down to her side, hanging limply like it weighed more than she could lift.

It was not this strange behavior that worried Ellis.

Nor was it was the man standing intimidatingly behind her, one hand resting on her shoulder.

Instead, it was the long, silver sword that had been ruthlessly pierced through her stomach, slightly off center and glinting a strange mix of crimson-silver in the moonlight.

Ellis found himself immobile as well, unable to convince his stunned body to move as the air around him suddenly became thick and suffocating. He had to remind himself quickly how to breathe.

He slowly lowered onyx gaze to her stomach as blood slowly began to trickle from the wound. It was slow at first, simple blots of crimson red staining her light colored shirt, then it blossomed out from the wound, a liquid, ruby red rose covering nearly half of her shirt.

If only he'd been paying more attention…

"I missed." The man said lightly, orange colored bangs with black tips shadowing his face as he peered over Nia's shoulder at his handiwork, "I guess it'll have to do."

"Missed?" The vampire managed to wheeze through seemingly collapsed lungs, afraid if he eventually did manage to move closer that Nia would be hurt even more.

There was a gaping hole in her stomach, what could he possibly have missed?

"I didn't hit anything instantly fatal. She’ll suffer." The man swished shoulder length orange hair over his shoulder as he straightened, white streaks and black tips catching Ellis's attention briefly.

Ellis had never seen anyone with tricolored hair, what kind of fashion statement was this strange weirdo making? This guy really needed someone to fix his patchy colored hair for him.

Had the mood been any lighter, Ellis would have joked and laughed. But now Ellis's stomach felt hollow and empty, his heart weighed a thousand pounds, and his arms and legs were made of lead.

Laughter didn't exist.

Nia teetered again on her feet, gaze slowly dropping from the vampire who didn't come to her aid to the blade, one of her hands inching sluggishly towards it, as though she could somehow manage to remove it. In the end, she simply stared at it, apple green eyes uncharacteristically flat and unable to register what had happened.

She didn't cry, she didn't scream, she didn’t make any noise at all.

Unfortunately, Ellis quickly recognized that expression from a good percentage of his victims that he'd sucked dry. He knew all too well what happened when people made that face – death was soon to follow, Nia was losing too much blood.

"Humans who play with vampires are as disgusting as vampires themselves." The strange haired man said, clucking his tongue in pity at the dying girl.

Nia was quickly paling as the blood continued spilling freely
