Outcast

Chapter VIII

"We're leaving." David said quickly as he entered Hellen's room. She stood up from her bed quickly. Her room was no larger than a broom closet which meant that they were extremely close standing to one another.

"Leaving? Leaving where?"

"Just listen to me. Come on and be quiet." He said grabbing her wrist and pulling her from her room. Hellen felt her heart race. The cold touch of David causing goosebumps to form all over.

As he drug her through the halls Hellen couldn't help but feel a sense of dread. A dread that came from David.

"David please -- "

"Quiet." He scolded. Hellen shut her mouth for a while until David lead her to a part of the under croft that she had never entered. As they passed by guards and through several doors Hellen was surprised to find herself in what seemed like an underground parking garage.

She hadn't even been aware that something like this was part of the Covenant. Then again she figured that there was a lot that she was unaware of when it came to the lifestyle that these vampires lead. She understood that they drink from artificially made blood but that was basically it. Aside from breaking the stereotypical aspect of they all slept in coffins.

"David? Tell me what's going on!" She pleaded as he opened the car door to the black car and made her sit inside. The leather made noise as she sank into it. She glanced around and seen just how nice the car actually was on the inside. It didn't take long for David to slip into the driver seat.

"David! Where are you taking me!" She understood something was wrong. Between the startling event with Thomas and now David seemingly kidnapping her, she didn't know what was going on.

When the car came to life David put it in drive and sped out of the parking spot. Hellen yelled and grabbed quickly for her seat belt as David drove quickly around corners as he was taking them out of the garage and to the surface.

A large door opened and before Hellen knew it, they seen the night sky. She gasped seeing the stars for the first time in what felt like years. Building whipped past them as David drove. The car said it was nearly two in the morning so the roads were deserted as ever. That gave him the opportunity to drive at a higher than normal speed.

"My father plans on turning you." He said finally after a long lapse of silence. Hellen's eyes widened as she slowly looked at him. His eyes were on the road. He was focused on his driving as he kept the car fast.

"Turn me? You mean into a vampire?" David didn't say anything as he took a corner. Hellen's lips parted before they closed again.

"Why?" She questioned. David sighed and turned a sharp corner before speeding up. The car engine roared as they traveled down the road to the point where houses became scarce.

"I don't know."

"You don't know?"

"All he said was that he was doing what was best for the covenant." Hellen allowed herself to sit back further into the seat. Her brain doing her best to process everything.

"Is this because of Cykillen? Or that I apparently look like his dead lover?" Hellen gasped as the seat belt locked up on her as the car came to a quick stop on the side of the country road he had taken. When the car finally stopped David looked at her.

"All I know is that I will not let my father turn you." David said looking at her with such a gaze Hellen had goosebumps litter her. She was quiet moving her hand to the side of her head she brushed her hair back behind her ear. She looked out her car window.

"You're a vampire as well... what does it matter to you if he turns me or not?" Silence fell in the car. They sat there for a minute. Then without answer David put the car in drive again and pulled back onto the road.

Thomas had watched the car pull out. He had watched David take Hellen. He stood in the security room watching everything unfold. He stood there with his jaw locked so tight he felt his teeth feeling like he was going to crush them.

"Find them. Bring them back. I want them both alive."

Thomas ordered. The man nodded and stood from his chair going to prepare the men.

If it was one thing Thomas wasn't going to stand for it was being disrespected and disregarded. Especially by his own son and a human girl.
