In a midst of a dream
1260 Words
It was 8:00 am when the sunlight shining above woke me up. I looked around for a while with a startled expression unable to realise where I was.
Sylvia!! I gushed.
I could still feel the echoes of what transpired yesterday.
I dashed off in an attempt to try save her but I came up on a dead end only to find a corpse being fed by buzzing flies.
It felt as though, for the first time in years, I finally knew what it feels to be in pain. After spotting the two deep holes on her neck, I tried to relive the pain Sylvia might have went through before her sudden demise.
I had read in books that if a vampire lunges his teeth into you, you become a vampire for short time before you pass away. Sickened by my own cowardice, the gravity of the pain was too much to bare that I screamed out. Suddenly my black eye lid turned red with my eye beaming in blood.
“W-wh-a-What is happening.......I thought to myself.
My ears felt more sharper than ever that I could hear the sound of footsteps splashing through the woods filled with mad from a distance.
Before I could turn to action, I was thrown into one of the trees.
I picked myself up and made a careful examination of the attacker. The smell on him felt like a full blooded vampire but I was unable to see his face because his movements were very sharp.
I was about to take to my heels when I suddenly paused realising what kind of monster he might be, there was no way I was going to be able to get one pass him.
I am a human and he is a full blooded vampire. No way......before I could even think of a plan, he charged at me and threw me to the tree. I managed to crawl my way back until his large hands grabbed me by the neck and lifted me up. Darkness engulfed me as I felt his powerful nails slashing me into pieces.
“Enough!” a voice echoed from the woods. That was the last thing I heard before I blacked out.
“It's been two days since you left the world and you don't wish to return back" I heard a voice lash out whiles I tried to wake up.
I could feel the cold breeze sweep pass me. I rubbed my face as the events flashed back in my face. It looked so new and fresh like a movie.
I opened my eyes with the strength I had left in me. I quickly jumped with shock when I saw the figure seated by me and nearly above me, a smile lightened her face.
But h-how come? Why? But I thought
“I know what you are trying to say but calm down first. You are not fully recovered so do relax I will explain everything to you later”. She said with such calmness.
“But Sylvia I just saw your corpse”........I asked with my face filled with an intent curiosity.
"I know it's going to be hard to understand this but those visions I told you about were all related to you. I knew this day was going to come. I knew you were going to be made a vampire but had I told you earlier you might not have been that is why I gave in for all that happened to happen". She said.
"Wait what! You knew of this and..... well you know what I will find my way out. I walked away from her as fast as I could. I just didn't want to have anything to do with her. I am not even sure if she's alive or dead.
“Jeff!” she called from behind.
At least consider your health. You haven't recovered fully yet.
“Jeff!” she grabbed my hand but I quickly shoved her as hard as I could.
“Let go of me you b****y creep. I trusted you and what did you do you betrayed that trust. See what you caused me now. I'm now a beast. Are you happy now!?”. I angrily quizzed with the stored tears continuing to flow and the sobs wracking my body, robbing it of the ability to speak barely allowing a breath to be drawn.
“Trust me I understand your frustration. I deserve to be called a freak but I did what had to be done”. Sylvia responded.
“Wait so who was....
‘The dead body? She quickly cut in
Well since you are eager to know that is my little sister who was killed by one of the vampires. She passed away and it's all because of me. I couldn't protect her'. She let out a tear
“But what could you have done?
There is a lot more you know nothing about. She said with her eye suddenly changing to gold colour exposing her fangs.
Jeff we need each other to survive this. This time I could see her eyes swollen and her chest sore from sobbing.
Quite surprising how I'm able to know accurately how she feels right? I guess is part of the tricks of vampires. The ability to detect emotions and expressions.
“A- are you also a vampire? I asked in a curious tone.
"Umm I guess so. I was born a vampire and my Dad is a vampire Lord whiles my mom is a witch.
“What! All these years? Wait so I have been joking around a family full of vampires and a witch?
"Yes if that's how you want to put it. She replied.
"What about the creep who bit me"? I further asked.
“I don't know him that much but I know he injured himself while trying to save my sister”. She answered.
I may not know a thing about human turning Vampires but I do know we do have some similar traits. And I'm bound to teach you how to control yourself.
I'm sure you wouldn't like everyone to know about your new you. So we must learn the art of controlling the inner monster. She said with her lips locking up with mine and lingering in a way that made me feel weak.
I instantaneously gave in and humbled myself to be taken back to my apartment back at campus by Sylvie as I mostly call her.
I slept very early that night.
The perplexities, irritations and worries that had absorbed me like unpleasant dreams had gone pass me and I woke up with a new eye and a new peace of mind.
Just like the week was ready to start fresh, I as well was ready to start my new life.
I checked on my wrist watch and it was 8:00am. I was almost running late for my bus because the bus I booked a ticket for, departs at exactly 8:30 am.
I woke Sylvia up and quickly trotted up the stairs to the second floor and took a very cold shower.
Christ it felt so good. I had finished everything and within 5 minutes I was at the bus station.
How?
Well just Vampire things. Though I feel sad and depressed about my new self, there is a bright side to it anyways. The quick speed, the extra strength. I'm just loving it. No one would even dare to bully me.
