Chapter 33 Hadley What caught my attention most was his burning red eyes in the dark. The sight terrified me to the bone. This was different from the wolfs, they had a sense of warning and intimidation to them but from this man I only sensed death. “Alucard. It’s me, Zylith.” Zylith said in a strained voice before dropping to the floor in a heap. “The little human?” His voice was smooth and emotionless, with an elegant English accent. Old vampire dude with an English accent, doesn’t that just sound right? I didn’t miss how both Cain and him called us little humans. We are not little these supernatural people are just overgrown. “Yeah you old bastard,” Zylith answered chest heaving. “So why the hell would you go and grab me like that? Scared of a little human girl?” The lights lit up again and his eyes faded to a beautiful brown. His nails pulled back into his fingers and I saw him give her a small smile. The only emotion to show on his face. She through insults at him but he was
Chapter 34 Hadley Alucard raises a brow at my statement and I retreat to my nervous tick and fiddle with my fingers. I hope he doesn’t pick up on the light shake in my body. “I told her that I knew you would want to help us with the information we needed. The rogues don’t leave any scent and seem to disappear after every attack, they kill more people every time.” Zylith informs and that seems to catch his attention. His eyes dim and he straightens, “I would like a bit more detail.” He walks off halting just outside the door, “I will wait for you in my study.” He doesn’t wait for a reply and walks off. Zylith comes over to me taking my shaking hands into her steady ones. “Are you okay?” I quickly nod yes, “He scares me, I didn’t feel this scare with Cain and his people.” Zylith gives me a soft smile. We go to the study after putting on our shoes and a jacket. Alucard is standing with a book in hand but doesn’t glance up, he already knew we were coming. He closes the book with a l
The CallingChapter 1I am walking down the cliffy road, it’s dark out with only the street lamp to illuminate my path. I am slightly cold and very irritated at my current situation. I had gotten to my car only to discover the battery dead. Obviously the car would not start, could not even unlock the bloody door via car remote.Cursing as I walk slamming my feet loud and limp on the paved road trying to vent my frustration at the inconvenience. I had walked a good distance with my new ankle boots that looked pretty but provided no comfort on the paved road. Hungry, tired and now sore I came round a bend when I heard it again.God I hated hearing it, yet no matter the place or how much time passed since I had heard them last they always returned. I remember the first time I heard it I was beyond terrified, now understanding that no harm came of it I had learnt to benefit from them. I look to my left, all I can see is pitch black forest, of course it would be to the forest.Staring at i
Chapter 2After dragging for some time I see his rib wound start to bleed, friction from the drag opening up the wound more. I think for a bit before removing my leggings under my jeans and using them to push the open wound back in place and making a knot around his ribs to keep the skin in place. It’s still dark as hell and I sit back catching my breath when the call of fear comes to my ears.Being unable to ever forget the sickening memory that accompanied the sound my body begins to tremble. I see them showing me a very well hidden hollowed-out tree. Getting the meaning I frantically drag us inside, tumbling and falling all along the way, still hearing them call to me.Now inside I feel less cold and with his body pushed up against me I notice how high his body temperature is. We are completely covered in mud and I try and push more into the tree when I hear the crush of leaves, then came a growl.What was that? A chill runs up my spine, my body shakes with fear and I hear the cal
Chapter 3The sun had begun to rise and I did not know if I should be relieved or more concerned by the fact that I had not gotten us anywhere. My breathing was heavy, my chest rising and falling fast as I am still dragging the fucking bear through the woods.My body shaking from wanting to give in, I am fighting my legs to continue as they shake due to the over exertion, I had wanted to stop many times but the fear of not being able to move again drove me to continue for as long as my body allowed.Looking down at the bear I furrow my brows as I thought his arms had injuries to them. I see the chest wound looking as bad as ever and figured I am not remembering correctly, as my ass has been in the air and my head hunched over for what felt like hours, making me hallucinate with the over-flow of blood to my brain and lack thereof in my ass.I hear a snap and drop the bear legs to the ground with a loud thud and turn to look for the sound, I am still hunched over breathing loudly when I
Chapter 4I wake to find my entire body heavy and sore. I try and sit up but is met with searing back pain and decide to lay down again. I rub my eyes seeking clarity and when they adjust to the light I see that I am in a hospital.I look to my right seeing my arm hooked to an IV and cringe. I hated needles, nothing that intimidating looking should penetrate skin.Looking at my arm I see blue bruising along the inside, my ankle is killing me along with my back and head. I did fall a few times trying to get into the tree and I suppose dragging the bear was not agreeing with my ankle. If I get on that scale and I am not lighter after all this I am ending bear man myself.A lady that I assume was a nurse walked in, “ oh, good your awake. Everyone has been waiting.”I furrow my brow…’everyone?’ I had no identification on me, who could possibly be waiting for me. Also thank god I was taken to a hospital and the buff boys didn’t murder me out in the woods. What the hell was I thinking relax
Chapter 5Getting out of the bathroom I am relieved to see I am alone and the door had been closed. I am tempted to get back in bed, just close my eyes and let sleep take me as I am still in pain and tired but decided that I needed to get “the fuck up out this bitch”.I smile at my little joke but focus back on the task at hand, ninja sneaking out of this cult hospital and getting back to vanilla life. I like normal, I have no desire to live a life on the edge or some shit. I want the normal.Waiting for the busying sounds to die down I see people greeting and leave, signaling the end of the work day. I open the door softly and go out closing the door behind me. I see the nurses station is empty and I look at the sign on the wall for anything pointing to an exit. I follow the direction on the wall map and opt for the stairs rather than the elevator.I take the stairs slowly and am relieved to find them unused thus far. Well most would rather go for the elevator anyways. I hoped no one
Chapter 6I strain to open my eyes against the bright lights, did I pass out again? Shit, the stress was getting to me. I have only ever passed out once in my life before, however, since arriving in the woods my body seemed determined to break my personal record by doing another two within a 48-hour period. My head felt heavy as I sat up and I felt all my previous aches return with a fury.I start looking around to see I am in the same room as before and jolt when I see the cult leader sitting in the armchair, hunched over with his elbows on his knees, looking straight at me. Alec is standing just outside behind him on a call.Satan bear and I stare at each other for a while before Alec steps back into the room. “ Oh your up, how are you feeling?”“Horrendous” I answer and demonic bear is still staring at me without speaking. His face devoid of emotion. After a very long and awkward silence, he goes to speak. “Why did you run?” His eyes focused on me and I could have sworn his eyes ha
