Ash's point of view

 

I search the Firepit, but she is gone, but those eyes still haunt me.

 

As I make my way backstage, Stan is waiting for me; he looks at me as he asks. "You okay, Jax?" "Yeah"

Is all I manage to say, my thoughts still consumed by her beautiful face. Stan does not press me for anymore, although he knows that something is troubling me as he places a large glass in front of me. I empty its contents feeling the burn as it hits the back of my throat. Even though I don't have any more fights this week, I spend every night at the Firepit searching through the crowd for her, but she is never there. Maybe it was just my imagination playing tricks on me.

 

No, she was far too beautiful to be my imagination. 

I have never seen a woman as beautiful as her in my life, but it was her eyes that I was drawn to, they look almost soulless, empty, and lifeless, and for some reason, I find myself wanting to help this beautiful woman. I need to find out who she is and why she was here. I'm worried that she is in trouble and may have come here looking for help.

 

As the week comes to an end, there is still no sign of her; I must resign myself to the fact that I will probably never see her again.

 

The championships are only three weeks away, and I spend every spare minute training; I am in my prime, and I know without a doubt the championship is mine.

I also have an influx of new kids coming into the gym, most of them escaping the city and the New Vampire King; I cannot describe the fear on these kids' faces, and if I am being honest, it worries me. This New King of the vampires rules with fear; I clench my fist as I listen to the horror stories.....He needs to be stopped.

Stan and I are the last ones out tonight; after locking the front doors, we head out to the back, where our cars are parked; before we head across the car park, Stan stops looking to his left near the waste bins as he says. "What's that." I stop walking, turning my head to the sound of a shallow groan.

 

"Fuck" We both set off in a run; what we find will be etched in my mind forever. There is a teenage lad curled up in a ball alongside the rubbish, dumped like a piece of trash, and If I hadn't had heard the low groan, I would have sworn this kid was already dead. Kneeling as I gently roll him onto his side so I can get a better look at him, his shallow breathing telling me what a desperate situation this kid is in, and when I say kid looking at him, he's probably no more than thirteen.

 

As I pick him up in my arms, I notice the fang marks on his neck as I mutter. "Fucking bloodsuckers."

Stan helps me get the kid back into the Firepit before I lay him down on a stretcher in the medical Centre, checking his blood group so I can get a desperately needed blood transfusion up and running. Yes, this is the reality of what I'm having to deal with, keeping supplies of blood so I can bring these kids back from the brink of death. Every fighter that walks through my door gives blood for emergencies, but these emergencies are getting far too frequent, and I've never had one this close to death.

Stan leaves in the early hours, and I spend the night at the Firepit, pumping blood through this child's body, praying that he can make it through until the morning. Thankful for my training as an army medic before the vampires started to take over our towns and cities. They are looking for fresh blood; I can feel it as they move closer to us.

This has to End…….

 

Before the vampires end us all…….

I wake up in the morning, having spent the night in a chair in the medical room alongside this lad; when I open my eyes, I let out a sigh of relief as he is finally awake and looking directly at me. "Hey buddy, how are you feeling? You gave me quite a scare last night." I ask. 

"Okay." He answers with a croaky voice.

I help him sit up before getting him a drink and holding the glass to his cracked lips; I am still slightly worried about his pale features. "Thank you." He mumbles as I help him lay back down.

 

"How did you get here?" I ask as I wonder how the hell he could get anywhere in the state he was in.

"I don't know…..I don't know where I am." He says with a shaky breath as a tear slips down his face.

 

"You're at the Firepit, and you're safe here, kid…..what's your name?" I ask him.

"Dylan."

He replies as he wipes away his tears with his dirty sleeve. "Okay, Dylan, tell me everything you remember." He takes a deep breath before he begins. "I was captured as a pet; King Areon gave me to Queen Anna as a pet; she got mad, saying she didn't want a pet, so the king made her drink my blood. I…...don't remember anything after that."

So, it seems the Vampire Queen is just as cruel and ruthless as her husband; I bang my fist down on the table I say. "They need to be stopped." The kids look at me as though I'm crazy as he whispers. "You can't stop the vampires."

I laugh as I reply......"I have my ways……"

 

 

 

It is time to stand up to this new king and Queen; it's time to get our lands back and free our people; it's time to revolt against the vampires and bring freedom to our people.

It's time to start a war.

 

A war against a Vampire King and Queen and end their reign of terror.

    Anna’s point of view.And that is how I became the Queen Dragon, and although the day has been perfect, and we are married under the Moon Goddess, I know it’s not the kind of wedding Ash really wanted, but thanks to Cookie and Stans's wife Linda, I have my own surprise for him when we get back to the bunker.We say our goodbye to the moon goddess after she whispers to me,“The Queen stone must be carried with you at all times; as soon as it sees the light, it will expose your Dragon powers, but the stone can also be used to call me to you; if ever you need my help Anna, you can call me through the stone.”Thank you, Moon Goddess, I whisper, before she disappears back into the night sky. Ophelie looks at me as she says, “We have prepared a feast for our King and Queen.”We follow the witches back to their lair as the wolves part, leaving an aisle for us to walk through. Ash squeezes my hand as he whispers, “I know it’s not the kind of wedding you wanted, baby, but I am so happy to hav

    Anna’s point of view.After the breakfast of Dragons, we head outside again, only this time we have Bear and Cookie with us; it’s time to learn the art of fire breathing.I watch as Ash and Dylan each take the gem that turns them into their Dragons, and yes, they are still as magnificent as they were this morning; I have to laugh as when Cookie see the size of Ash’s Dragon, I swear his eyes popped out from his head.Yes, Cookie, he is impressive! Both in Human form and in Dragon form.I somehow end up being the mediator between the two Dragons and their two best friends; Bear raises an eyebrow at this, and I shrug my shoulders and smile. How can I explain something that I do not understand myself? After a couple of hours, Ash lets out a long sigh * I can’t do it; it’s not working**It will, Ash; we must keep trying* I reply, trying to sound confident for his sake when, really, I have no idea if this is ever going to work. All I know is that for the Army to penetrate the underworld, t

  • The Hidden King and I    Chapter 82

    Anna's point of view.After many hours of talks with the high witch of Eden forest, it would seem that the only way to open up the underworld is by fire, and it just so happens that we have two huge Dragons on our side, Two huge inexperienced Dragons who must both learn how to fly and breath fire, Dylan is quite happy for once that he has a little more experience than Ash. and I smile as I watch the pair of them together,We are standing above the waterfall today, out in the open. Yes, it may be dangerous, but Ash hopes that no one knows of this place, and when a dragon needs to learn how to fly, then it would be dangerous to be seen.So here we are…Dylan stands above the waterfall, and I must admit I feel a bit anxious as I watch him. Ash unwraps the Dragon Heart Gem, and within minutes, two magnificent Dragons stand before me, Dragons whose scales shimmer in the early morning light. They really are a beautiful sight to see.Dylan looks to Ash as he says, *Just let your wings unfold

    Anna’s point of viewWe stay locked in each other’s grasp until I shiver in his arms; Ash gently places me down as he whispers.“Let’s get you out of here before you catch a cold baby,” I have to giggle as he passes me a towel hidden in some nook in the cave, and I whisper, “You think of everything Ash”“Everything except spare clothes, I must remember that for next time,” he chuckles. as he hands me his boxer shorts and t-shirt. Once I'm dry, I slip into his t-shirt, which drops to my knees, before pulling his boxers on; he looks at me as he says,“I like you in my clothes; everyone knows that you are mine.”Which makes me giggle as I say, “I think they all know I’m yours by now, Ash.” He smiles.“You were always meant to be mine, Anna,” he says before taking my hand as he leads me back along the narrow ledge to the balcony, which is thankfully still empty, and we step back through the gate unnoticed. We're not so lucky when we get inside, though as all heads turn to look at us, I c
