Vampire Saga

Episode 2

"WHAT DOES A HUMAN DOING HERE, PETERSON!"

The voice echoed inside the mansion. Six paired of eyes stared at Peterson who gulp numerously. He is now regretting why he brought the woman in this mansion. Its his fault. He didn't think it first! For f-cksake!

"Answer me, Peterson." The man demanded in a cold voice.

He cleared his throat first before he speak. "I-i can't leave her alone when bloodsuckers keep popping out." He said. "My conscience will kick the h*ck out of me, Vlad." He added.

Vlad's jaw tightened. "You know how i hate human, Peterson."

He place his eyes on the floor. "I know, Vlad. Its not that i can't do it."

"And that's because your past still hunts you." Kexia spoke. The one who is silent at the corner. "You've been watching that woman for a week, Pete. Why is that?"

Peterson blew a breath and stared at the woman who's sleeping on his grip. "She reminds me of my sister." He whispered.

Vlad lift a brow. "That's it." He said. "Did you think first before you brought that woman here?"

He shake his head. "I don't."

Vlad stood up on where he is sitting. He move towards Pete wearing his emotionless face. This man is hardheaded. How many times do i told him to stop being with a human? Its more than a hundreds of times. For goddamn sake!

This brat is getting into my nerves!

"Bring back that human to where you saw her." He commanded. "I don't want to smell a human here."

"Who are you?"

Everyone was rotted on their place when they heard the human spoke. The human is now back on her consciousness.

"I'm asking who are you?" Ayyanha asked again staring the man in front of her.

Well cut hair, thick eyebrows, a perfect pointed nose. A pair of red lip that she bet were soft and taste sweet. Red eyes? Contact lens i guess? White-pale skin.

This man shouted the word 'Handsome'.

"Done staring?" The man asked her.

She diverted her gaze on the other direction. Its not only him that is here. There are six other person including the person that is carrying her.

She stand up and move away. The man who carried her- is the man he saw a while ago. The person who save her from that deadly creature.

"Weird. Why can't i read your mind?"

A woman pop up from a dark area.

Read my mind? She can read minds?

Who the h*ll are they?

Another man raise a hand. "Same here, Cuz."

She swallowed looking around. Is this a mansion? A big chandelier above her head. Long sofas, a fifty-five inch television, portraits, gothic style table and rattan chairs.

She guess its their living room. A very wide one.

"My telekineses isn't working at her."

Another man showed up in the living room.

Her head will burst in many questions she had. But they didn't bother to answer her when she asked a minutes ago.

I'll leave this mansion. Her house is waiting for her. She still have a lot of things to do.

"I-i'm going home." She said turning her gaze on the person who save her. "Thanks for saving my life."

The man give him a small smile. "No worries. Btw, I'm Calix Peterson."

She smiled back looking into his dark blue iris. "Ayyanha Mendoza." She said offering a shake hand.

Calix hold her hand. And she stilled feeling the coldness of its hand. Cold like a dead person.

She take off her grip and distance herself. "I-i should go."

"And where do you think you're going."

A baritone voice made her stop when she was about to step. The man isn't asking, its like a command. She sigh and face him.

"I'm going home." She said.

"You're not going anywhere." The man firmly replied. There's a finality on his voice.

"And why?"

"You are now our slave."

She frowned. Her? A slave? What the f-ck is he talking about? As far as she know she's a hotel attendant not a slave.

"Pardon, mr. I don't get you."

The man close their distance in a blink of an eye. He look into her eyes that made her swallowed. His stare are deep. So deep that it travels into her soul. And she could feel his cold breath that smells like a mint.

"You owe us your life, human." The man said. "And in return you'll be our slave."

She's still frowning. She still don't get it. She doesn't owe them her life except for Calix who save her. So why is he saying that i owe them my life?

"I only owe my life on Calix because he save me."

The man stared her sharply. Like those eyes could slice her into two. She still compose herself. She won't let this man to scared her. She don't even know him!

"You're wrong, human." The man said. "We can devour you here in a minute, but opt not to. And that makes you owe us your life."

She inwardly frown. "Devour me?" She asked. "How will you devour me?"

Why is he calling me human? Its obvious that she's a homo sapiens. But why can't he call me on my name? I know he heard my name when i told it on Calix.

She stilled when the man lift its hand. Her eyes went big when its fingers run from her shoulder to her neck. The coldness on its fingers sent shiver through her spine.

She gulp and shrug what she felt. Though her heart raise, not because of fear, but it was something else that she couldn't explain.

"Simply, by sucking your blood till you drop."

The sharpness on its voice made her swallowed her words. She couldn't speak at all.

Suck my blood? Till i drop?

Those sentence keep running on her mind. Those were familiar. She already heard it. They'll suck my blood? Really? Like those corpses that found dead due to the lose of blood?

It rang a bell on her.

They are the towns murderers!

She step aback. Fear consumed her and her body starts to tremble. "Y-you were behind those dead b-bodies..."

A paired of arms encircle on her chest making her stop. Out of nowhere a person came out stopping her.

She tremble even more. Her heart started to beat fast- fear consumed her. She's now cornered. She can't run anymore. But the question is, can she run?

The answer is a big NO. Remember what happened a while ago, she can't even move her body a single. She can't even open her mouth to shout for help.

She is sure. What her attacker can do, they can do.

Peterson sighed. Its really his fault. If he only didn't brought her here. This won't happen. "Let her go, Cannon." He said on his twin- the one who prisoned Ayyanha using its strong arms.

Cannon remains. He didn't let go Ayyanha. Cannon's eyes where on Vlad- waiting for its command. Damn, he remember, Cannon only follows when its Vlad.

"Let me go!" Ayyanha shouted trying to free herself on the strong grip.

This arms are strong. She can't even move it.

She glared each one of them. "Let me go!"

She stilled when a sharp thing pierce her shoulder.

"Cannon!" Everyone shouted.

In a sec Ayyanha feel dizzy. Her knees weakens. Her breath became rigid. Her eyelids went heavy, slowly closing her eyes.

All she feel was pain.

AYYANHA woke up feeling tired. She's like she undergo a marathon. She forcefully open her eyes and stared the ceiling. She feels weak. Her head aches.

Sunlight hit her face. Its already morning.

What happened?

The last thing she remember is the unbearable pain she felt.

She tried to get up, but failed. She's too weak. She can't even lift her hand up.

"You're awake."

Her eyes landed on the voice owner. It was Calix. He is sitting on a chair beside her.

Did he watch me while i'm asleep? I guess he did.

How many hour did i sleep?

"I'm sorry for what Cannon did." Calix said not answering her question.

She just stared him. No voice came out from her mouth. May be because her throat were dry. She needs water. A lots of water to clench her thirst.

She tried to open her mouth and force herself to speak. "W-water.." She said.

Calix immediately move getting her a water. He help her to get up before giving a glass of water.

She drink. She acted like she didn't taste water for a month. The water wet her throat. Its so refreshing.

"How are you?" Calix asked not looking at her.

"I feel weak."

Calix gave her a sighed. "I'm sorry. Its my fault. If i didn't brought you here this won't happen."

Yeah. He is right. But why did he brought me here?

She need to ask to get an answer.

"Why did you brought me here and not my house. I thought you knew where i live since you're following me for a week now."

Calix look at her surprise. "You knew? How?"

She shrug. "I felt your presence since day one. But i didn't know its you. I can also hear your footsteps."

Calix inwardly frowned. She heard my steps? How? I am from a far. Just watching her while sitting on a mango tree.

"I'm just watching you pass by on the old mango tree, Ayyanha. I was sitting there while waiting for you. I don't follow you."

Ayyanha's forehead frown. If its not him, who's following here every night? She is hundred percent that someone is following her.

"Aren't you the one who save me?"

Calix nodded. "Yes, i am."

"And how did you know that i'm in danger? As far as i know the old mango tree you're saying was two kilometer away from where i am standing that night you save me. I heard you say 'Rouge'."

"I was hunting bloodsucker when i saw you and i only said is that 'bloodsucker."

Her head is now in turmoil. "But who said that? You didn't notice a person behind me?"

Calix shake his head. "It was only you and the bloodsucker."

It dawned in him that its not only him who's watching Ayynha. But for a week he spent on watching her, he don't seen someone/somebody who's following her like what she said.

The question is- who?

"Calix? Hey?"

He snap out from his thought when Ayynha called him while waving her hand.

"Sorry, i'm thinking something."

Ayynha lied again on the bed. She look at the ceiling like she could get an answer there.

"Can i ask, Cal?"

"What is it?"

She sighed still looking at the ceiling. "I know all of you aren't normal. Based on what they said a while ago." She said. "Who are you really?"

"We're vampires."
