The Vampires Pet- chapter 8

(sorry, the pic came through kinda big. oops. Dunno how to fix)
I should have called them, let them know I was ok! In fact I should have never hunted vampires in the first place, then none of this would have happened and I could have had a normal life! They are dead, they are gone, and there is nothing more I can do about it.
Of course it took me a couple of days to fully understand this.
But now the question is, what next? I wanted to find Lucy, Cole and Damien again but I didn’t know how, or even if they wanted me. I suppose the only reason I waited to see them is because at least they would understand, help me. Eveyrone else probably thinks I am dead, at least they might train me just enough so I have a chance to kill the vampires princes. My walls were only signed with a D but I wouldn’t exactly call Bax innocent. I didn’t even know if I could face them, not after how weak they have seen me, they will always control that little part of me that they took away when they kidnapped me.

I was in the middle of the city now, I didn’t know where else to run, I mean I had relatives but none of them were very close and how could I explain this to them? To anyone?

There was one thing I could do…
I saw the angels call their god.
Could I do the same thing? No, that was a stupid idea, what is she going to tell me? And I’m not an angel, she probably isn’t even my god! And I probably can’t call her anyway, I don’t know how!

I thought about things for another day, and the more I thought the more I believed that if I could find my guardian angels again I would be ok. So I went and found a magic store, you would be surprised how many there are in the city, most of them don’t know a thing about magic but still, they had what I needed.

Standing in the dimly lit but nice smelling shop I try and think back to the rekay ceremony I had seen. As far as I could tell they had something to represent the four elements, but did they have to be specific somethings? Hmm, what did they use…?
"Can I help you dear?" Oh, what the hell.
"Yeah, um I need something to represent the four elements." She nods.
"There are a variety of things that are used but the most common are crystals, incense, water and a candle." I nod.
"Makes sense."
"How large?"
"Oh just small, nothing fancy." The lady quickly and professionally collects the things and comes back to the counter. She had a small piece of amethyst, a packet of incense and a red candle.
"Can I recommend the proper ceremonial bowls for each element? They usually do not work without them." Bullshit.
"Ah, no thanks, just them three things." She rings them up and I quickly head back to the cheap hotel room I was renting. I had money, a fair bit more than I thought I did in my money jar and I still had my key card for the bank. Actually I should have grabbed mums too, I know her PIN. But then do the police check them kind of things? Or was that just me watching too many cop shows?

I can’t believe their gone, it’s just not something that seems real. But everything I thought that wasn’t real is. Vampires, angel, werewolves? And everything that seemed important in my life is now meaningless. School, job, clothes, boys. And my parents are gone. Can it really be?
And allI want to do with my life is kill the thing that killed them
Derrick. Bax?
Laying on the htin mattress in the cheap hotel memories come flooding back to me, Bax, biting me. But I kissed him first, I remember now. I wanted water, but then…I don’t know what happened. He just bit me. And the scary thing was…it felt good. I liked it, I tried to deny it, but I did. I am never going to do it again! No, eew! But still…
I have to call her, I have to try. That god? Leana? Strange women. But I have to try…she is my only help.

"Leana, I am calling to you now, I don’t have anything to offer. I know that I don’t know you but…I need some help." I choke out the last bit, then open my eyes. And there she was. The beautiful goddess that I saw that morning in the hotel, the one whose smile lit me up like a Christmas tree.

I gasp, still not expecting her to come, and fall backwards onto my hands. She just smiles wider.
"Child, you called?" Unconsciously, tears run like leaky waterworks down my face.
"My parents. They’re dead." I wanted to drop my head and cry, but something helf my chin up. I could not look away from the beautiful goddess. Now she bows her head.
"Yes, I know. I could not stop it, but I did try and help."
"What? What did you do to stp them?!" She shakes her head.
"Nothing, except I told my angels to look after you longer, so you, at least, would survive."
"I don’t know if I want to survive." I say, staring at her neck for unable to drop my eyes any lower. She kneels so she was level with me.
"Dear, you have to. To you the world seems giant and unfaceable right now. But I can look into the future and you are the ket."
"The key to what?" I ask, looking into her glowing silver eyes. She just smiles and shakes her head slightly.
"You and him, you will be together. You alone will tip the scale of this war. Trust yourself, Kasey, to make the right decision, and I will guide you. And remember this, everything is not as it seems. Not all of the vampires are bad, and not all of my angels are good. Trust yourself to choose the right path, I know you will. And I will be there to help you." She was starting to fade, her white dress and blonde hair almost gone.
"Wait! I need you to help me find Cole and them!" She was fading so quickly I didn’t have time to say all of their names. But I see her eyes sparkle.
"Follow the light." And then she was gone. I knew, I felt the tiny bit of wind.
The candle blew out and the smoke stopped rising, she was gone.
I was alone.
I bury my face in my hands and cry. As I do something cool presses against my eyelids. Wiping my nose I pull my hand away and look at it. On the middle finger of my right hand there was a thin silver ring with a blue gem on it. I look at it, completely and utterly confused.

As I look at it it suddenly glows a bright blue and with a flash a blue line appears from it. I kinda looked like a lazer, but blue. It was pointing too the bathroom. I walk in their and open the door, it just continued to the wall on the otherside, never moving. And then it clicked.
Follow the light. Would this ring lead me to Lucy, Cole and Damien? I was just musing over this when the light suddenly disappeared, I stare at it, now even more confused.
Did I break it? It glows again, the light appears, and then a minute later disappears. It was late, I was tired and confused and I needed sleep. I would figure it out in the morning. I lift my finger hesitantly to take off the ring ubt then lower it. No, I better leave it on. Don’t wanna lose it now. And with that thought I was asleep before my head hit the pillow.

2 WEEKS LATER

The crying has stopped. It took a while but I am all out of tears now. I have vowed I will never cry again. They are gone. That’s it. The end. What more can I do? What more can I say? Nothing will bring them back now.
I’m going to kill Derrick, even if it kills me to do it I don’t care anymore. But I’m gonna kill him. And to be able to kill him I have to be trained. And to be trained I have to find Cole, Damien and Lucy. And that’s why I have been following this stupid ring for the past few weeks. For all I know they could be on the other side of the world. I may never find them, they could have left the country for all I knew. And still, the blue light only came on at certain times, more at night, I noticed. I had no idea why.

I had studied the ring closer, and on the inside of it was neatly engraved.
Cole Gareth Sanderlin. Cole. So it did go to him, if this god was real. I sigh, she was real. I saw her. I fel> her. She was real.

I almost went hunting during the week, but something happened. I don’t know, I just couldn’t do it. What if someone else kidnapped me? In fact I was scared to go out at night now, but every time that blue light came on I packed up and followed it.

So here I am now, walking down the street, it’s the middle of the day, I only went to get lunch. I am wearing my ring, but it’s not glowing. It’s actually a nice day, I am feeling good about everything for the first time in months. Not great, but good. To be truthful I still don’t think their death has set in yet. I don’t think it will have set in after years. It’s just surreal.

Maybe chinese for lunch? I don’t have a lot of money but I have been good these last few weeks and I need a break. There are a few people walking down this street, I am in the middle of the city, but there isn’t too many. I am wearing mostly black, in memory of my parents. Black skinny leg jeans, a white shirt and a black vest. Miss you mum and dad.

The ring is glowing. I stop and stare at it. Ok, no Chinese. It is pointing into my chest, I turn around, the laser light thing point across the street. I start to follow it, can anyone else see it? Then I freeze. The light is moving! How can that be? My eyes follow it up…to a man across the street. I gasp, it’s Cole! His eyes are on the sidewalk, he looks glum. He turns into a pub. The light stays a few seconds longer and then disappears.

I straighten myself up, remembering the last time I saw him. I wasn’t happy with him but I was going to give them a second chance, they had to train me now! Because I had nowhere else to go…no! Stop thinking about that! I wait for a car to pass and then set of across the street. I turn the ring in case the light comes on so it would only be pointing at my hand and no-one else could see it. At the bar, before I can hesitate, I throw the door open and sunlight streams into the dark bar, and onto Cole who is sitting at the bar, not far from the door.
"Cole Gareth Sanderlin, you are a hard man to find." He looks up, and his jaw drops. He stares and I smile, letting the door swing closed behind me. Then Damien leans around him and he looks shocked too. I can’t believe that after weeks of searching I actually found them! But it doesn’t feel like long, I’ve been too busy analysing my life.
"Kasey! W-what are you doing here?" Cole asks standing up off his stool. I shrug.
"I came to visit you, miss me?" I ask. My mood was light and I keep smiling but it was hard, they didn’t look especially happy to see me. Never-the-less, Cole strides forwards and engulfs me in his arms. Then he lets me go without saying anything. I blink quickly to cover the dampness in my eyes.
"Where’s Lucy?" I ask, looking around the bar. Damien steps forwards.
"Kasey, why are you here?" I shrug.
"Bah! Long story." I say, looking away. Did they notice that my voice shook? I hope not.
"Maybe you should tell us. Come back to the hotel?"
"Aren’t you going to buy me a beer?" Cole rolls his eyes and doesn’t smile.
"No. Damien, can you walk her back? I’ll go ahead and warn Lucy." Damien nods once and Cole disappears into the mens bathroom. I raise an eye brow.
"Is Lucy hiding in the men’s bathroom?" I ask. Damien finishes his drink quickly and shrugs on his leather jacket, then pulls his long dreadlocks out of it. He was a lot stronger, more butch than I remember, his chest was really toned and everything. He spins me around by the shoulders and walks me out.
"Angels can teleport, but only when they need to and we can‘t take humans with us." He says after looking around to make sure no-one was listening.
"Come on." He says then, starting to walk down the street. I have to take long strides to keep up with him but I do.
"How did you find us?" He asks, looking at me sideways.
"Ahhh. That’s another long story." He looks at me, scrutinizing. I just smile and he rolls his eyes and keeps walking.
"What’s wrong? You guys don’t seem to happy to see me." I say it quickly, nervously. I look up to see his reaction, realising again that he was also quite a bit taller than me.
"Nothing’s wrong, we just had a tough few weeks around here. Kasey…there’s a reason Lucy is staying in the motel room."
"What? Why, what’s wrong?" I say quickly.
"That’s a long story too. You’ll know when you get there." Is Lucy hurt? Oh my god, why wouldn’t she come out of the hotel? I start to walk faster, which was quite an acomplishment at this time. And as I do someone grabs me from behind. I scream, as a reflex, and elbow them.

"Well you always did have a fight in you." I whip around quickly. Derrick just grins cockily at me, and swings his sword in a full circle before gripping it tightly. He cockes his head to one side.
"Hello again, Pet, long time no see." I whip out the two woden stakes I had been carrying around all week and we start circling each other.
"Derrick. Bax." I greet them. Bax was standing next to Derrick, but slightly behind. He bows his head a little in acknowledgement of me. He didn’t have a sword.
"You bitch, I can’t believe you actually got out, and you took my brother down with you. Tut-tut. Bad girl." He grins again.
"Kasey, run." Damien says, Oh! I had completely forgotten about him!
"Damien this is my fight, stay out of it!" I yell, he had his gun out, not that that would do any good.
"Kasey, run! Get out of here!" Derrick looks at him and honestly looks surprised.
"An angel? Ohhh, I get it. I knew you couldn’t have got out by yourself! Ah well, I could take you as a pet again…" He muses, then grins.
"But it would be funner just killing you now."
"Not if I kill you first!" And I launch myself at him, dodging is sword I swipe, and scratch him but that was it. No harm done eo either of us, we keep circling. He was angry now.
"You little slut! That scratch was a fluke!"
"You killed my parents you son of a bitch, you’re not going to walk away from this fight!" Hissing, he leaps at me, he cuts my shoulder but I dodge the rest and kick him in the back. Stepping backward I bump into something. Fuck! Bax!

I literally moved faster thanI have ever moved before and whip around so that stake was pressing against his chest, where his heart would be. But I freeze, I panic. I can’t keep killing vampires, I can’t live like this. Always feeling eyes on the back of my head, becoming paranoid like I had these last two weeks. There was screaming around us and sirens in the distance, but most people had left the street now.

Staring at the stake and Bax’s chest I knew I had missed my chance. I could have killed him but I couldn’t. I can’t do this. I can’t. I blink once, tears forming, and then look up to Bax’s face. It had open shock on it. Was he shocked that I actually got close enough to kill him or that I didn’t kill him. He stares into my eyes for the briefest moment and then starts to move.
Then my entire world explodes into pain.
For the briefest second I wondered if Bax was actually going to hurt me or just push the stake away but I close my eyes now and blood pours out of my mouth.

I look down and there was a shiny red sword coming out of my stomach, my whole body felt like it was on fire. The Derrick twists the sword around and I scream, my knees crumble and as he pulls it out I fall.
Out of the edge of my vision I see Derrick and Bax run, the sirens were closer now and I could see lights. But I knew this was the end, because Derrick would not have left me if he didn’t know that I was dead.

Damien was at my side, trying to say something.
"Cole." I choke out weakly, but he heard me. Pulling me into his arms he sets off at a sprint. But I could feel it coming, this black was different from the others. I wasn’t falling into unconscious I was just falling.
I already knew I wouldn’t make it to Cole.
Mum and Dad, here I come.
And then I fell.

DAMIENS P.O.V.

There were actually tears runing down my face for the first time in a long time. But to see her so Broken that she couldn’t kill a vampire even when she had the stake on his chest was hard to watch. I saw her expression, memories flashing through her eyes. She must have been better than we thought, to be able to kill a prince, or maybe they just really under estimated her. Bax was smiling, then shocked at how fast she could move/ And as if in slow motion I watch Derrick grin as he shoves the sword through her. Her expression then, that’s what caused my tears.

Now she was in my arms and I ran, panting heavily, as people watched with dinner-plate eyes. But there was so much blood, too much blood. I already knew. I knew that Cole couldn’t do a thing the moment their hearts stopped beating, they were dead. And I knew that Kasey was slipping away, and fast. There wasn’t enough time to get her to him before she died, and that was the only reason she would have said his name.
But I kept running, because there was nothing else I could do.
But the truth was Kasey died in my arms that day, and we were not even within a block of Cole when she did.
Now she is dead, gone.
And we mourn.
