All Chapters of A Vampire's Mark : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

A figure emerges-tall, dangerous, mesmerising. His eyes glow crimson. His grip tightened, trembling with fear. I tore myself free and ran. Running as fast I could, my scar was still dripping blood. Ethan's words returned to my memory and now I wished I listened to him. The figure was terrifying and looked like it had not been fed for thousands of years. With the last strength in me I continued to run, looking back I did not see anyone. Maybe it was just my imagination. Maybe it was just a dream. I paused resting my back to the wall trying to search for anything I could use to stop my bleeding. I saw it. It ran in a way that was humanly impossible, maybe faster than the fiction character FLASH. As I tried to pick up pace, he caught up to me grabbing my neck and lifted me up. Fingers like iron locked around my throat. I kicked, twisted, nails digging into my skin, fighting the chokehold with every ounce of strength. “Please, please I don't want to die let me go” I uttered as

I accepted his hand, he backed me like a baby in need of her mother's attention. whispering “Hold on tight.” He ran off. His speed, his strength and agility are not humanly possible. I was not scared. Instead I felt comfortable, safe in his presence which was weird because two nights ago I was battling with this same person who wanted me dead. The air brushed my body, the feeling soothing. It was as if I was in a ride, a very fast one at that. Then suddenly he lost control of his speed, going zig zard, bumping into tree leaves and branches. Almost about to bump into a tree itself, I woke up. “It was a dream! It was a dream! Calm down Aria, calm down.” My dreams have been frequent these days, but at least this one felt different. It was positive. No fighting. No fear. I. I experienced peace when with him. Collecting my thoughts together, the school bell rang. These past few days haven't been for me, so I decided to feel free, and enjoy my day like a normal student. I missed my

In a twinkle of an eye, Lucian hands swipes my legs off the ground with his hands supporting my back as he carries me like the prince did to Cinderella, his gaze intense and giving “hold me tight.” look, he zooms off. He navigates paths so fast in darkness, swiping through leaves and branches. The figures— attackers are equally fast but not as fast as Lucian. Knives and arrows are sent towards him but he ducks them as if he knew their target. “Hold tight Aria, I'm taking a big jump.” He warns beforehand. Being chased by unknown figures in the dark, while being in the hands of an ancient Vampire was not in my bingo card for this sophomore year but here we are. My life was literally a movie. His warning barely escaped his lips before he moved, one powerful leap that separated us from the ground. My stomach dropped, the world spinning beneath us, and fear grasped me.But his arms were iron like around me, unyielding, safe. Terrifying as it was, I knew nothing could touch me while I wa

We paused in shock, eyes drifting to the door as I saw familiar figures—Hunters pointing at me. How did they find us? Do they ever rest? “Capture her but avoid harming her, and as for him,” she paused, eyes on Lucian. “Kill him,” she ordered. Her voice and mask were familiar. I bet I knew her from somewhere. Lucian guided me behind him, so close that I could feel the warmth of his body. Eyes still on the Hunters, thirsty for a fight as if he had been waiting for this day. “Hide beneath those tables and don't try anything stupid. They can't take you on my watch.” My breath caught in the air, his voice filled with assurance like I was his responsibility. “She stays with me.” He snapped with a loud growl towards the Hunters. “I can't assure you that,” one among the Hunters scoffed. They spread into a circle, positioning themselves to take action. Still behind him, the first bolt flew; he caught it midair, destroying it between his fingers before he yelled at me, “Go now!” I ran, tak

The stranger's hands pressed strongly on my throat, sucking up all the air at that point, and I struggled for my life. With a push, Lucian sends her flying into a tree as he helps me up. Is this how my life will be now? Random fights, terrifying strangers and unknown attacks. I am not ready for this. “Who do you think you are to be one of us?” one among Lucian's kind snaps as they circle us. “It's been a long time, old friends, bet you missed me.” Lucian scoffs with an evil smirk, pulling me into his embrace. “You disappeared, left us all, and you come back and try to break a law of the vampires.” The vampires flare up, shining their fangs. “Seems like whoever told the story decided to leave it half-baked.” Lucian marches up to them, leaving me in the open space. “I don't leave my own in time of need, but how could I protect the whole clan when I was harmed myself?” Shock spreads across their faces, and as Lucian said, the story wasn't fully told. “You were harmed?” Another lady
