Pure Blood (Vampire Queen)

Seven

Walking down the street, Kat balances on fences while Chachi keeps guard. Ash stares at the ground in front of him. No one has said anything for the past 30 minutes.

“Can I ask you guys something?" Ash finally blurts out.

“Anything." Kat says in a sing-song manner.

“What happened to Gigi? She's so.. different."

“This again?" Chachi rubs his neck, "Well she's been through a lot after you left. Especially since we started training."

“On top of that she's been training to become queen for her 18th birthday, which is a position she never even wanted. If you were forced into something you didn't want, you'd probably have a change in attitude too." Kat says, agreeing with her brother.

They finally reach Ash's house and wave him goodbye. “Try not to overthink it bro. You'll meet the old Gianna sooner or later."

“And be careful will you? Try not to cut yourself while we're away," Kat teases.

Ash rolls his eyes, "Haha very funny."

That night, Gigi tosses and turns in her sleep. In her dream she see's herself standing over countless corpses, covered in blood. Among them she see's Kat, Chachi, and Ash, all with blood pouring from their necks. She looks at them in horror as Kat begins to crawl towards her. “Gigi.. how.. how could you? You did this to us!" she says, her eyes drained of life.

“No! It wasn't me! I-I didn't do this!" she cries.

A shadow appears in front of her with a wicked grin, "Of course you did, this is who you are. Your time is almost up!" the voice grows louder, "Don't run Gianna! DON'T RUN!"

Gigi jerks awake, sitting up and clutching her blanket, covering her face. Sweat drips down her forehead.

"Are you okay?"

She turns and see's Geo standing by the balcony, a worried expression on his face. Rabi stands at the end of her bed and hands her a cup, she takes a drink. “What are you doing up?" she asks.

"When you have these dreams, I can't sleep, they f**k with my head."

"Right, I forgot."

“What was it this time?"

Gigi takes a deep breath, "I.. I killed our friends.. Kat, Chachi.. even Ash."

“Your dreams seem to be getting worse."

Tears fill her eyes, "I don't think they're just dreams anymore." She looks up at her brother, "She was there. I just know it was a sign." Geo looks down at his sister, shocked. "Even in death she haunts me. I feel like I'm losing my mind." She covers her face and cries into her blanket.

Late into the night, at the Tower, Geo, his parents and two of his sisters attend a meeting. “Her dreams are getting worse now. She's barley keeping herself together." Geo shouts.

“I do believe time is drawing near, darling." Lady Hirarrah, his mother nods.

Lord Amar nods his head, "I am aware. It's coming much quicker than we anticipated."

“Why did you send her on that mission all those years ago, dad? And alone! Did you not think about how it would affect her afterwards?"

“Yeah daddy," Gayn says, "why didn't you send me? I'm much more powerful and more reliable."

Gami scoffs, "Oh please, don't make me laugh. You can't even do a simple job like copying papers. You ask Gianna to do something and she does it quickly and efficiently the first time, she's way more reliable. And since when are you more powerful than her? Just the other day, when she pushed you, you were shook at how much force she used and she barely even touched you."

“Shut up Gami!" Gayn shouts. Geo rolls his eyes at them, tired of hearing them talk. They thought the world revolved around them when in fact their world revolved around his twin.

“Also, last week, you couldn't even keep up with her in training. Face it, you're much weaker than her." Gami looks down, "We all are."

“If you aren’t going to say anything positive, don’t say anything at all!” Gayn voices.

“Now, now ladies." Lady Hirarrah sighs.

"My sister is suffering, and it's all your fault." Geo spits at him.

“I was only preparing her to rule, what's wrong with that?"

"To rule!?" Gayn pouts, "But daddy I'm the oldest!" "Gayn that's enough!" Lady Hirarrah shouts. Gayn sits back and huffs angrily.

“How long do you think it'll be before she loses her s**t and goes on a f*****g rampage!?" Geo demands.

“It won't happen. One day Gianna will be the one to lead the entire vampire race." Lord Amar declares with confidence.

“No dad, at this rate," stands up, "she will be the one to END it. It's only a matter of time. She doesn't have long and neither do we. It might not be today, it might not be for a couple of months, but believe me it's coming! Let's hope she finds something to help her cling onto her sanity."

Geo storms out of the room, slamming the door behind him. They all look at each other worried. Gami rests her head on the table and sighs, "We're all gonna die."
