The Vampire Warrior And Her Werewolf Lover.

Scarlett's POV “ The earlier you realise this is your new life, the better for your cussed self ” Andy curses under her breath as I reject the food she struggled to secure for me again “ How are you at peace with this- ” The annoyingly tall iron doors swing open as my arch enemy marches towards us swaying his partly seared arms. Andy scurries behind me like a mouse with her heart beats audible to the whole room “ Why are you not dressed? ” his voice thunders and I totally ignore After what felt like seconds of him staring at me with those cruelly large eyes, probably wondering what evil to do to me today, he speaks again “ You dimwit, get up now! ” Andy rushes out of the room, she's too weak for my liking,it's embarrassing At this moment I suddenly become blood thirsty but thinking on how disgusting he is, I rather drink that of a pig “ You dare disobey my orders? ” he pounces on me, punching my body as usual but I'm surprisingly immune to it so I lie still on the hard floor till he gets tired and staggers away My wounds heal quickly- a super power I never knew I had and I try to get up and slowly drag myself to do what he wants me to do gritting my blood deprived canines against each other I look at the ramshackle cupboard that is given to every slave, moth and termites slowly turning it into their colony. I pull out the almost dead wooden doors and they make a loud squeal I finally pick out something to put on from the rags in the cupboard “ Why do you keep doing this to yourself, Scarlett? ” Andy asks softly as she spreads her tiny arms signalling I come in for a hug “ I can't be as timid and easy going as you darling. I hate this place and I won't hide it. I'll finally get what I want and drink the blood of all these cowards, that I'm sure of ” I say with confidence as I bury myself in Andy's little yet surprisingly comfortable body We grab our rickety implements and head to the forest, according to the schedule they drew out for us, today is meant for wooding so we march in a single file to the forest with soldiers stationed at strategic positions monitoring how we move and always ready to strike our backs if we fall short “ What's going on? ” I whisper to Andy moving in front of me “ I have no idea ” she whispers back as we notice the forest is oddly occupied with people “ Move! Move! ” we hear a brash voice behind us and the soldiers push us away from the way and into the bushes I clench my fist on the ground pulling some innocent plants off their roots “ Hey, chill ” Andy whispers as though she knew what I'm about to do We stay clustered together on the ground as we watch adorned horses gallop down the way with royal guards on their backs “ The Alpha is on his way to hunt again ” I hear someone say a stone throw away from me and my heart immediately begins to race, the forest feels like its closing on me. In my mind,I felt I am growing larger and larger expanding with rage “ Alright, get up all of you! We'll thread an alternative route ” One of the soldiers orders and the other soldiers starts pulling and pushing us up I strain my neck behind me as I try to get a glimpse of what my enemy looks like. I try to walk slower waiting for the last royal soldier to pass by knowing that the Alpha would come after “ I'm sure you heard well, you slut ” a soldier yells behind me hitting me by my waist almost making me trip I immediately adjust and walk fast enough to meet up with the others, as I reach them I give it another try and turn behind again to see if I can see the Alpha and it works. I am already too far away so I couldn't get a clear image of his heartless face, I could only catch a glimpse of his black adorned cloak. I stomp my feet and bite my lower lip a bit too much to hold myself from screaming out loud “ Where did you go? ” Andy asks as I walk to meet her “ Nowhere ” I answer harshly, my heart's feeling a painful pinch immediately Andy has been the only friend I have here who doesn't see me like some mentally ill person like the other slaves. She's the only person that truly understands why I do the things I do, she understands my course or at least she pretends to. She walks forward probably trying to stay away from me “ I'm sorry ” I mumble as I advance to meet her “ Scarlett, one thing you don't get is that, you aren't the only one pained or wanting to have a pay back moment, we all do but you don't see us always getting in trouble and trying to prove ourselves to the soldiers ” she snivels cleaning the one tear that tried to drop “ You fail to understand that if you die, you can't get justice for your people. I hope someday you'll realise that this isn't the best way to achieve whatever you plan to achieve ” she continues and walks away For the first time since I got here, I feel something else other than rage, pain and disappointment in myself as I see how angry I made Andy. I try to follow her but I realise there's no point. We are divided into groups as we eventually reach the work field, the alternative route is a much longer way. I pick up the axe that everyone in my group deemed too heavy to carry and the shock on their faces is one to pay for. I cut down the trees with Andy's words still ringing in my head, if she really wants pay back, then why the f**k is she this timid? Her plan is definitely such a stupid one “ We're not planning on sleeping here, are we? ” the same soldier magically appears by my side causing a nuisance as usual. I barely take any of the faces of the soldiers into memory but this I surprisingly remember, he's been trying to get in between my legs and I'll rather sleep with a herd of donkey than let him touch me. He knows I won't let him have his way with me so he's perfect plan is to try to make me suffer, pathetic! We continue working in the forest for what felt like hours, some of us pulling down and breaking woods, the others gathering them together “ It's enough for the day ” the head soldier orders and we all stop at once “ I'm wrong Andy and I'm sorry ” I force myself to say almost biting my tongue after. Saying these words are as good as a taboo for me but the last thing I need right now is loosing the only friend I have Andy knowing how difficult it was to say these words couldn't hide the shock on her face as she stops to listen to me “ Did you just- ” “ You better not speak about it ever again ” I say sternly and we both burst into laughter afterwards The soldiers shares the wood into different compartments for us and I watch Andy struggle with carrying hers “ Are you that weak huh? ” I mock her and she playfully throws a piece of wood at me “ Are you gonna help me or not? ” she asks “ You've got to learn humility young woman ” I sneer at her and she roll her eyes, I'm sure they saw her brain before returning back. I take half of hers and add them to mine and despite that she knows I've got some weird strength, she's still watches me in surprise “ You can close your mouth now ” I say with a wide smile clearly enjoying this moment “ I can never get used to this ” she exclaims and shrug as we make our journey back to that dungeon “ Do you know how long the Alpha hunts for? ” My curiosity slowly killing me “ Don't tell me you've got interest in the Alpha ” Andy jeers “ Of course not ” I reply almost immediately and my stomach twirls in pain at the sound of such nonsense “ Then what's the question for? ” “ Strictly for answers madam, stop making bothersome assumptions ” I warn her as calmly as I can, I don't want to get in her bad books again “ I don't know then ” she replies “ You don't happen to know how long the Alpha hunts for, do you? ” she turns to ask an elf slave, I guess his name is Jeff or whatever, that's of no concern to me I push my head closer so I could hear what his reply would be “ Well he usually hunts for two or more hours long, do the math, I don't know how far gone he is in ” he replies. I see why I don't like him, he speaks through his nose with so much dirty pride “ Thanks ” Andy appreciates him and turns to look at me “ Do the math ” Andy and I chorus in mockery and we burst into laughter “ I think he likes you ” I say to Andy “ I'll cut your tongue off if you say that one more time ” she answers sharply and we both laugh again “ Care to share what could possibly be causing two dirty slaves grin like this? ” that same soldier asks us and I wanted to risk it all and give him a befitting blow right through that flat nose of his “ Nothing. We are sorry sir ” Andy steps in and answers him pulling me away from him before I do something we'll both regret “ God! I hate this place ” I squeal as I feel my intestines boil in rage “ I know, but you did the right thing Scarlett. You're finally learning ” she squeezes my hand softly The remaining walk back is quiet because my mood is already ruined We get back to the dungeon and we gather up the woods into the store and I stomp into my room, any more minute I spend with these people could me mad “ Hey Scarlett ” I hear someone say and I turn angrily, ready to unleash the million emotions I bottled in me today “ What?! ” I squeal “ You were asking about the Alpha, I just wanted to inform you that he's done hunting now and they are taking this route back to the Palace ” Jeff the weird Elf informs and I couldn't stop the devil smirk that shows up on my face “ I never knew anything could make you smile ” he adds and I give him a dead look. “ Good talk ” I say flatly as I walk away before he brings up any more conversations “ Where are you going? ” nosy Andy asks “ Nowhere ” “ What are you doing with that? ” she asks strongly as I pick up the portion I jokingly made her make “ Nothing ” I say as I try to hide it “ You know that is not something to joke with right? It's a potent portion Scarlett so tell me why you have it right now! ” she orders. I haven't seen her this serious since I knew her “ It's- it's nothing. Ugh! Stop making a fuss out of nothing ” I sputter “ I'm not letting you go with that ” she says strongly “ f**k! Not now Andy. I don't need this right now ” I try to walk out but she stands in front of me “ What are you gonna do with that Scarlett? It's a death portion for gods sake. You aren't gonna kill anyone not when I'm alive ” she shrills as she pushes me back God! I can't believe this is happening, Andy please not now. I've got all these planned for so long, she can't just ruin it now. No I won't let her “ I don't want to fight you Andy, stay away ” I bellow as I clench my fist trying so much to control my rage hoping Andy would just move. But a part of me already knows Andy won't waver, she loves too much to let me kill anyone “ That's not happening ” she fires back “ Arghh! Move aside ” I growl and I push her away in a way I thought would be harmless until I see her holding fast to her elbow whimpering in fear on the floor “ I'm so sorry Andy, I have to ” I apologise as I run along with my bow and arrow already dipped in Andy's portion If Jeff is right, the Alpha should be passing this way any moment from now so my perfect time to strike finally comes I grab my cloak from where it was drying off and I throw it over my shoulder, wearing it over my soiled dress. I sneak out through the back gate so I don't get noticed. I really hope Andy won't tell on me I finally tiptoe myself out of the dungeon, lucky for me, the soldiers are in their usual meeting so there is none lurking around As soon as I close the gate behind me, I raise the crown of my old cloak and I put it over my head to build a cover up of some sort. I had earlier strapped in some knives in my boots also dipped in her portion. I've planned this day for so long and it's finally happening I lie in wait for the Alpha behind some trees surrounding the dungeon. The events to come keeps playing in my head, still trying to figure out what to do first, shoot the arrow or use my knife? I have been preparing for today yet it still meets me unprepared The order of events keep changing in my head until I hear distant gallops, the sound getting closer by the second. So weird Jeff was right after all, my heart suddenly begins to race without control. I bet my heart beat is loud enough for even the forest animals to hear comfortably After so much struggle on whether to use the arrow first or the knife, I begin to panic as I hear the gallops nearer than afore I lie with my bow in my hand, finally deciding to use the arrow first, I place the arrow in place aiming for the skull of the Alpha. The joy that'll fill my heart when I watch him fall from his horse covered in blood and dead “ Are you lost? ” I startle as I hear probably the sweetest baritone voice ever I raise my head and my eyes lock with the most beautiful eyes I've seen. I should leave, I tell myself yet somehow I still stand swimming in the bitter sweet glare of this god.
