The other vampire seemed displeased, but shrugged nonetheless. He cast a glance at me, and smiled warmly, as though we were friends.

“Today, would be fantastic!” Xian said in a suddenly cold tone. He thrust me towards his friend, and I stumbled into his chest. I stiffened at the same time as he did, but before I could even comprehend a step away, he had already grabbed my hand and was pulling me as gently as possible out of my own home. The vampire shoved me in the backseat of his BMW, slamming the door once I’d fallen onto the seat. I felt the car shake a little as he climbed into the driver’s seat, and I listened to his door shutting, too, and it’s mellow echo inside my head, insanity creeping through the cracks between my stability.
Breathing heavily, I put my seatbelt on, and sat there, unsure of what to do or say. I couldn’t tell them to f**k off because a) they’d just saved my life, and b) I had said to Xian I’d let him… “train” me. I had to. He was all I had when it came down to my mortality, really.
A gut-wrenching, ear-splitting, blood-curdling scream shot through the air, audible to my ears crystal clearly. It made my breath catch in my throat, and my chest burn with sudden fear for what was taking place inside my home. The screams and cries echoed in the air for longer, making my brain fry and my heart pound. Unwillingly, my lips quivered as I brought my feet up on the seat, bringing my knees up to my chest, my shoes falling off in the process. I rest my head in between my knees, my eyes welling up with tears as I was forced to listen to the screams of pain, begging for help.
Isn’t it funny how in mere seconds, your whole life can just crumble to pieces?
