Chapter-3: Kidnapped

As soon as I reached home, I slammed the door shut behind me and went straight to my room. I rushed to pack my stuff as fast as possible. To a human eye, I was like a blur, moving around. I had to get out of there and fast before they could show up again and do the unthinkable.

"I’d better hurry before they find my house." I was breathing harshly. Not because I was out of breath, but because I was nervous and anxious. My heart was beating frantically in anticipation. I didn't want to meddle in vampire affairs. I just wanted to spend a life as normal as a human life could be. I knew they would follow me and find me soon.

When I was done packing my clothes and some necessary stuff, I raced down the flight of stairs. My eyes went wide when I opened the door.

Epic was standing there. What the hell is she doing here? Isn't she supposed to be at school?

"What are you doing here? And why didn't you call me before coming?"

I almost yelled at her. She was staring at me with a shocked expression as if she thought I had gone insane and then looked down at the bag in my hand.

"Why? Are you going somewhere? Also, why do you look so panicked? Is something wrong? Anyways, you are the one who called me and said there's an emergency and I have to come back right now. Then why are you spitting all this nonsense?" She said walking inside.

I was so confused about what she was saying. When did I call her? I was about to ask her when someone’s voice came from the living room. A deep evil voice.

"We called you here, not her." Both Epic and I snapped our heads towards the source of that dark voice together. There, three figures appeared from the dark, just like earlier in the alley.

My eyes widened at the realization as I cursed under my breath. They were the same three vampires who were in the alley. I pushed Epic behind me in a protective stance and glared at them. Although my heart was beating frantically with the anxiety of what was going to happen, I would never let them touch my sister.

"What are you doing here and how did you manage to come in?" Now I was less scared and more possessive for the safety of my sister. My voice was confident as if I was a warrior. Besides, I also knew some fighting moves. I was not that hopeless, I guess.

"You don't seem so stupid. You should know what vampires are capable of." A smirk appeared on his face as he stared at Epic. She was standing behind me silently, but the trembling of her figure didn't go unnoticed by me. I just wanted to get her out of there safe and sound.

"V-vampires?" Epic said in utter shock and confusion. I couldn't help but let out a sigh in helplessness. The truth I wanted to hide from her so desperately was revealed in the worst-case scenario.

"Yes, vampires, darling. Now if you will excuse us." Saying this, he snapped his gaze back at me. I held his gaze just as fiercely. I wasn't going to show any sign of weakness to them. I knew better than what happened to weaklings in this world of ruthless bloodsuckers. I was repulsed by the nature of this existence that I was a part of.

"What do you want?!" I asked, still staring angrily at them. His playful expression morphed into a poker one as he glared back at me.

"We have already told you. Come with us or pay the consequences." He said with a cold expression.

"I already said. I will not go anywhere with you freaks. Now if you will not get out of here, I will kick your bloody asses out!" I yelled at them. I acted tough in front of them, but even I knew that I didn't stand a chance against them.

What am I supposed to do now?

Epic fisted the back of my top and she was trembling badly. I wanted to comfort her but I wasn't going to give those suckers a chance to attack us first.

"Looks like it's going to be fun." Saying this, he lunged at me, and in a blink of an eye, he threw me at the wall behind me. Pain spread throughout my body and I slumped down on the floor.

I felt blood pool behind my head as my vision started to get blurry. I began to feel light-headed. I blinked several times to clear my vision and keep myself conscious. But the last thing that I heard was Epic calling out for me and then I lost consciousness.
