Whispers in The Dark, The Hunt - Chapter 1
Comatose sequel - Whispers in the dark.
Running through the forest, twigs and sticks scratching my arms, but I was running too fast to care.
The hunt.
It is exhilarating, and I almost never want the hunt to end... but it always has to...
I could always get blood from butchers, or places like that... but where is the fun?
Hunting keeps you physically fit, and ready to go.
Just in case there is a war, or any other immediate business that needs my attention.
That day, that glorious fateful day, changed all of our lives forever.
For 180 years I had lived with Black... having the protection, and the safety.
I had to put up with a lot of terrible things. The endless supply of newborns, and pets, and the anger.
His fits of rage were unpredictable, and not even I knew what would spark the powder keg.
When I killed him, I felt such a surge of relief. I didn't have to put up with him any more, and that I could live my own life.
But I also felt so scared... I had no-one, and I was in charge.
I had a castle to care for, I had newborns and pets to care for, I had my friends to care for...
When we got back, I helped thunder into the castle.
"Ziege!" I yelled, throwing my jacket onto the banister, while holding Thunder up.
Still in transitioning, and not strong enough to walk. "ZIEGE!" I yelled again when she didn't surface.
"Where the hell is she?!" I yelled to BamBam.
She shrugged and asked "didn't she come with us?" throwing her jacket down onto the banister.
"I didn't pick her up..." I said, worrying. "Should I go back for her?" I asked, BamBam helping me take Thunder into the sitting room.
"No, she's with George. They'll be fine. Probably just mourning Black."
She said, making it clear in her voice that she was not going to mourn him at all.
"Honey, it's OK to be sad." she reminded me. I smiled falsely and said. "sad? Who's sad?" and hurried out, checking up on Kayak and Spirit.
"Up the stairs, turn left, 5th door down is your room. Put her there to rest, then come back down." I said, and left.
I summoned all the newborns and pets to come into the Great Hall, where Black used to give his welcoming speeches.
But now it's my turn.
I stood on the stage, and looked at all the deathly pale faces staring back at me.
"The Tyrant, Black Omen, is dead. Many of you will want to mourn him. Please do. He deserves that much. But before we mourn, we have to decide what we do next. Black was careful. he never stayed in one place for too long, and we have covered all of England. England is not safe for us anymore. I know for almost all of you, this is where you were born, grew up, and were turned into one of us... or you are hoping to become one of us. I ask you now, to go. Leave. I want you to lead your own lives. BamBam, Spectra, Silence, Boone, Kayak, Thunder and Spirit. Choose 2 newborns or pets to take with you to help serve and look after you wherever we go next. For the rest of you, stay here, or leave. It's your choice. But I will elect a King and Queen out of you, and you will serve them loyally, just like you served me and black. I choose, Miss. Eleanor, and Allistor to be your king and queen. Serve them faithfully. That is all. Goodbye," I said, and then rushed into the sitting room.
BamBam soon joined me, she asked in a low voice, "what the hell was that about?"
I shrugged and replied, "I'm doing what I think is best. When Thunder and Spirit wake up, tell them to come to my study please."
She nodded, and left. Probably to check up on Boone.
I went over to silence, who was biting her nails fretfully.
"Where are we going to live?!" she asked me, looking wildly at the newborns who were fawning over their royalty, who were just a few moments ago, one of them.
"That's what we are going to discuss in a bit, hun. Be a dear, and tell everyone to choose their staff quickly, and then meet in the parlor." she nodded, and left too.
I chose two newborns, as I have no need for a pet, as I don't drink human blood.
Their names were Mai, and Mirai. They were twins, and inseparable.
They were Japanese twins, not really newborns.
I rescued them, august the 4th, 1945, as the day after was the bombing on Hiroshima, where they were from.
I knew they were going to die... but I didn't have enough time to save everyone.
I could only save them... and I have developed a very special bond with them.
They still wear their uniform that they wore back in their day, and they died when they were 10.
They both have razor slashed fringes, which falls down into their eyes, and long black hair falling down to the small of their back.
Their skin is porcelain white, and bright blue eyes.. unusual for a Vampire.
They love to look the same, and would never change.
Soon, Thunder was awake, and Spirit was too.
Everyone assembled in my study. I sat in my plush leather chair, with Thunder sitting beside me.
The desk separated me and Thunder from everyone else.
Boone and BamBam sat on a green velvet sofa, holding hands, and spirit sat on kayaks knee. Spectra sat with silence.
"We have to leave." I stated, and everyone nodded gravely.
"Why can't we just stay here?" spirit wanted to know.
"Because people would notice we don't age. It's easier just to up and leave. None of us have family here, so it's not like we have any ties." they all nodded again.
"England isn't an option anymore." Spectra stated, and we all nodded.
"Che dire in Italia?" Boone sat up, and looked at me expectantly. I nodded slowly, mulling the idea over.
"Boone suggested Italy. It's a lovely country, and I would love to see how it's changed since I was last there..." I smiled, remembering the romantic country me and black visited so many years before.
"OMG! I've always wanted to go to Italy!" BamBam and Spirit cried at exactly the same time.
Spectra nodded, as did Silence. Thunder telepathically sent me a message saying, "i don't care where we go, as long as I go with you..." and I blushed.
There was a crash.
I jumped up, and ran to the front door in a matter of milliseconds, grabbing the intruders by the neck.
It was Ziege and George. "Ziege!" I cried, relieved.
"You alright?" I asked, and she laughed insanely.
"You think it ended... but it has just begun. You think you are in charge, but He still holds the reins." she sneered, pushing me off her.
"Ziege. What did you do..." I asked, while BamBam held her down... as she spasmed again.
She tried to speak through it. All I got was "removed stake." I gasped. That bitch...
Black is still alive...
It's not over. Like Spectra said. It's only just begun.
The hunt.
It is exhilarating, and I almost never want the hunt to end... but it always has to...
