ZANE
I was waiting for the New Year. I wanted to celebrate New Year’s eve with you Blaire and now that it’s over, I can’t put a hold to my mission anymore. I’m sorry that I’m breaking your promise but I had made one more promise to you when you were in hospital, fighting for life, that I will destroy the person who forced you to take that step and nothing can stop me from killing Gizelle. I’m a dark vampire, an aristocrat, the noble one, who’s motto is – Life for Life! She took your life away from you, you had to kill yourself because of her, and now it’s revenge time. I’m going to kill her and bring her blood to you, this is my promise. What did she say? She wants me? But she’s oblivious that I’m a fire and fire is not to be played with. She will have to pay for what she has done, and for this I’m here again, in New England. Will see you soon love.
I went to the college but Gizelle was absent, that was her luck but luck won’t always favour her. It’s dark now and I’m waiting right outside her house. She’s not home but it’s okay I can wait, I don’t mind waiting for my prey.
And finally she showed up, after long two hours but wait she isn’t going home, she’s walking towards forest and I’m following her. Even after walking deep down the forest, her feet doesn’t stop, she’s oblivious that she’s being followed. She stopped near a small house, and looked around her before entering that house.
“Won’t you welcome me Gizelle?” I said stepping inside the house. She was bewildered, of course she would be, since she wasn’t expecting me here.
“What are you doing here?” she asked annoyed.
“Thought of giving my a lover a lovely surprise. I thought you’d be happy to see me” I gave her a smile full of wily. She picked up a stake that was lying on the floor.
“Ahh that’s a bad idea” I said as I shocked her by my speed, taking away that stake in my hand from hers and throwing it away after breaking it into two. I was now standing in front of her, face to face. My eyes turned red as appeared in my real form, in my vampire form. I showed off my sharp fangs to her, to scare the hell out of her. I grabbed her by her neck and was ready to rip her throat off. She let a scream out as I inserted my fangs into her skin, drawing out the blood. Very soon she’ll fall short off blood and would drop dead on the floor. I loosened my grip over her as inward spiraling winds started rotating around me, taking me in it’s capture and I couldn’t understand how did this happen until Gizelle laughed bitterly.
“Enjoy the cyclone Mr Vampire” she said as she laughed. Is she responsible for this? Normal human ain’t capable of doing that, only an aristocrat is. She isn’t a vampire, then what is she? ‘A witch’ my mind triggered. Has she done this? Witches have control over air, fire, water and earth and they are capable of forming cyclone as well. So Gizelle’s a witch then. Anger raged through my veins and I put my hands forth the spiraling wind and with all my powers, pushed it away, in Gizelle’s direction, freeing myself from that wind. Gizelle fell hard on ground as the cyclone hit her. Her laughter was now gone.
“Don’t forget I’m an aristocrat type of vampire, even we have control over such cyclones, you silly little witch” I emphasized more on the word ‘witch’.
“Try to escape this” she said forming a silver ring and throwing it in my direction, it grew big as soon as it came in my contact, trapping me in. I tried hard to escape from it but my hands and legs weren’t moving.
“What is this? Free me” I ordered, still using all my powers, fighting hard to get rid of this ring I was in.
“You can’t get out of this until I let you. This is a special ring whose powers can paralyse any vampire’s body and oh did I tell you that it sucks up the energy? So don’t try hard, save your energy for later because the more you fight, the more energy you’ll need and I repeat that this ring sucks up the energy like you suck blood” I need to get out of this but I don’t know how. I should torture Gizelle in order to get released from this. I used my ability of inflicting agonizing pain in someone’s body, normal vampires don’t have this power but highly ranked vampires, like me, do. She screamed in pain as I used my power of pain infliction on her, her body wasn’t able to bear the pain and she layed on floor, holding her head.
“Stop it” she cried but I only increased the level of pain.
“This ring can paralyze my body but you forgot that my eyes also have some power and your stupid ring cannot stop my eyes from causing you pain”
“You will never get out of that ring if you lay me to death” maybe she was right because only she can release me from this, I reduced the pain but continued to torture her.
“Alright. I’ll release you from this ring but first please stop this” she said and stood up, gathering herself when I finally stopped. She came near me and casted certain spell but it did no good to me, I still wasn’t able to move but the ring once visible had now disappeared.
“I’m still not able to move my body”
“I know” she smiled her cunning smile, “I’ve only disappeared the ring, but it’s magic or power to stop you by making your body paralyze is still there. It’s like an invisible ring. You wanted to get rid of that ring, it’s gone, now only it’s powers are there”
“You cunning witch” I blurted in anger “witches can never keep their promises”
“Ahh.. Problem is with those who trusts us” I used my power of pain infliction again but it went in vain, she stood there fine, nothing was happening to her, she wasn’t feeling any pain.
“Aw Zane how many times do I have to tell you to save your energy. Anyways your powers won’t harm me anymore, I’ve just seeked protection against it” she said “the spell that I just casted? It was to seek protection against your power of pain infliction. No spell was needed to vanish the ring, I just had to say in my mind and it would disappear”
“You were here to get your girlfriend’s revenge but poor guy got trapped instead. Well it’s good that your girlfriend told you everything before dying, I mean look, she made my job easy. You yourself walked to me or else I would have to go searching for you and that would have wasted my time” I want to kill her right now. If I wasn’t dead, she would have been dead by now.
“I know you want to kill me but please know that even I’m not pleased to see you alive”
“What to do with these wolfsbane?” the girl with chestnut hair asked, walking in. I don’t know who she is, she must be a witch as well or else she wouldn’t know about wolfsbane.
“Keep them safe, we’re going to need it later” Gizelle said. So they’re planning to kill me with the help of these wolfsbane. They really think it can kill me?
“Why later? Why not now?” the girl questioned “And I don’t understand a thing, why do you want to kill Zane when you love him? I mean that’s what you said to Blaire” the same question aroused in my mind. She asked Blaire to leave me so that she can have me.
“I know that the same question must be running in your mind too Zane, alright, let me clear everything, I don’t love you! I just want your powers” she said.
“Powers?” questioned the girl.
“Yes. Powers.” she replied “Zane, I know that you are soon going to become a pureblood vampire. Humans who are turned into vampires have to go through various stages to become a pureblood, the highest ranked vampire. You are now an aristocrat, that ranks second in the vampire monarchy and I’m aware that on this full moon night you will become a pureblood vampire. And then I shall kill you and have all your powers which would make me the most powerful witch of the world” her greed was palpable on her face as she said that.
“People shouldn’t dream so big, that it hurts when their dream gets crushed . You are never going to get my powers” I was slowly becoming weak but still was able to talk.
“Don’t forget full moon night is not very far and just to remind you, you are under my captive and under my occupancy you’ll ever be, until I kill you” I let a breif laugh out at her words and at her misconception that she can kill me and have my powers.
“You’re naive if you think that this stupid magic of yours will hold me for long”
She shut the door behind her before leaving. I need to get out of here, to the earliest. My body’s becoming weak of the ring’s powers, it’s feeding on my energy little by little and if I don’t get out of here, I might die of weakness. This can’t keep me trapped for long, my powers will overpower this ring but for this I need some blood. I need blood to regain my lost energy.
“Blaire…” I mused, my body is becoming weaker and weaker. I feel that I’ll soon fall unconscious because of this weakness.
“Blaire” I muttered under my breath, trying to connect with her through telepathy.
