Outcast

Chapter I

"Don't go down there!"

"There's nothing but ghosts!" Two young men whispered to the young woman. She looked up at them and laughed a bit. Her raven hair and bright blue eyes sparkled with mischief as she decedent the ladder. That was the last time anyone had seen the young woman.

That was one of the last times she had seen the sun. Thinking that the ghost were just that, Hellen had decedent into what would be her hell.

Kneeling on the floor she looked up at an older man. A man who apparently wasn't a man at all. A vampire it seemed.

"So, mind telling me how you made it inside and past my guards?"

"I dunno. I just climbed down an old drainage pipe and followed it inside." Hellen said her blue eyes filled with worry. The older man, dressed in all leather and slicked back blonde hair, he was beyond intimidating.

"You? A simple girl? Passed by three of my highly skilled guards and made it almost to the center, here." He motioned out with his hand to the large center of their domain. Vampires stood around watching the interaction.

"Had it not been for David, she'd been killed." Someone spoke up. Hellen didn't dare glance around instead she kept her eyes on him. He sighed deeply through his nose.

"You're rather lucky, I'll give you that." He said looking back down at the young woman who wore a dark blue hoodie and some black jeans.

"So, what are we to do with you? Not like we can.... eat you." He scoffed looking down at her. Her eyes widened a bit as she swallowed her nervousness.

"Let me go?"

"So you can inform the others where we are? I don't think so." He said nudging his head toward the surface.

"Father -- " The brunet haired man stepped forward who had saved Hellen from being shot earlier. Hellen watched the man, David, as he seemed to be around the same age as her... but she figured he wasn't. She figured he was like the rest of them.

The elder turned to the young man. David glanced from Hellen to his father and ducked his head down to whisper. Hellen couldn't hear what was being said, but it seemed that his father wasn't happy with it.

"No, we must deal with her --"

"Put her under my responsibility. I'll make sure she doesn't get into trouble." The man huffed and clicked his tongue. He glanced down at Hellen, noticing she was still watching him. He scoffed and looked back to David.

"Fine. But the moment your pet causes trouble, she will be dealt with are we clear?"

"Yes father." The elder gave a slight smirk as he gazed down at Hellen.

"Seems you're very lucky, girl."
