7: Another Game

"Mmm... She's a jewel" another Vampire added, caressing my cheek with a bony finger. I shiver from the cold and take a gulp slowly backing away.

I've been stood in this room for the past 2 hours and I still feel uneasy. Grayson told me I'm safe but the only place I will ever feel safe is in my home, in my bed. I don't even know where he or Ethan is and I'm currently lost in a crowd of dead people with only a gun to protect me. These things are pretty much immortal, so I stand a massive 0% chance of making it out here alive. That doesn't mean I won't attempt it though, in fact it makes me even more eager to try.

"Have you seen Grayson or Ethan?" I ask a male vampire.

He turns to look at me and licks his lips "Mmm... I can show you"

I was about the reply but a girl came over she was around the age of 18. Her eyes were crimson red and her flesh white like snow.

"I just saw them in the garden" she smiled, showing her perfect pointy teeth.

"You don't need to be afraid of me" she adds, taking a hand.

My skin burnt against her cold hands and shivers ran up and down my arm, she led me away from the room and out of a door where the cool breeze hit me. I closed my eyes and inhaled it as it ran across my cheeks and danced through my hair, I haven't felt like this in days.

"They're over there" she suddenly says, distracting me from my thoughts.

I open my eyes and glance towards the direction she was pointing too and sure enough I saw both the twins standing there deep in conversation.

"Thankyou" I answer, turning my attention towards her.

She gave me another smile and then emerged back into the crowd.

"Okay" I mumble to myself "It's time"

I brushed my hand against my leg and let out a breath of relief when I felt the gun. As much as it dawned on me that I could possibly kill them with one action, I knew that this was for the best because I couldn't possibly stay here trapped for the rest of my life. I inhaled a shaky breath and strutted towards them. When I reached their sides I cleared my throat. Neither of them listened to me, so I grabbed the gun and shot the dark night sky clustered with shimmering stars. Their conversation stopped and they turned their heads to look at me.

"What seems to be the problem missy?" Ethan asks, impatient already.

"I am leaving" I reply bluntly earning a chuckle from them. I raise an eyebrow and glare at them "What's so funny?"

Grayson stopped laughing and stared me dead in the eyes "You leave when we tell you too"

"No. I leave when I want and I'm choosing now" I state with a strong voice even though my insides were shaking.

"Have fun trying" Ethan spat back, placing a finger on his chin.

"Trying?" I echo "Oh... I am going to succeed"

He chuckles and then steps forward, making me shoot the sky again.

"Not another step" I demand, tightening my grip on the gun so that my knuckles became white.

He stepped again bringing his face closer to mine "What exactly will you do about it?" He questions in a voice that made my spine tingle with fear.

"I will shoot you" I say in a duh tone but he just grins.

"You wouldn't shoot anyone" he answers, acting like he knew.

"Really?" I question, narrowing my eyes at him.

"Really"

I extend my arm and point the gun at a male vampire sucking a woman's neck. I take a breath and then pulled the trigger.

The atmosphere was filled was a deafening boom as the bullet pierced through the mans arm, making him hiss in pain. By now everyone had stopped what they were doing and was standing in a circle around the three of us, all eager to see what was about to happen.

"And you would do that to me?" He questions and I nod my head.

"Then do it" he says, stepping forward again.

I raise the gun with a trembling hand and pressed it against his forehead, he stared deeply into my eyes making me shift uncomfortably.

"Well what are you waiting for?" He asks, bringing me back to earth.

My facial expression hardened and I placed a finger on the trigger trying to analyse his face but it remained the same.

I pulled the trigger in and braced myself for the haunting sound of the gun, but when nothing happened my face went from anger to confusion.

"Looks like someone needs to learn to count" Ethan tells me and I lean my head to the side. "You only had 3 bullets and you used every single one before you got the chance to shoot me" he explained and my eyes widened with fear.

"H-how did you know?"

"We put the gun in your room to test you. If you took it we knew you were planning something but if you left it there it was either you couldn't find it or you didn't want to hurt us"

"So this was what? Like a set up?"

"Exactly darling" he grinned showing his fangs "We know everything"

Those last words played in my mind.

Grayson stepped forward and wrapped his arms around my waist and I tried fighting against him but he was too strong.

"Okay guys... Clear off" Ethan shouts at everyone "Parties over. We have business to attend to"

There were a few murmurs from the crowd and before I could blink every single one was gone, leaving me in the hands of two very handsome yet intimidating vampires.

Just great.

Grayson brought his mouth down to my ear "Now we didn't appreciate your little party trick" he whispers making me wince "So you're going to be taught a lesson"

My head started spinning at them words, what could he mean.

"I'm sorry" I quickly say, fear rushing through out my body. "I didn't mean to offend you, P-please don't hurt me"

He chuckles deeply "Don't beg" pause "It makes me want to hurt you more than I already do" he finishes, which made me try fight against his grip once again.

Ethan spun back around and grabbed my jaw tightly, forcing me to look at him as streams of tears ran down my cheeks.

"Hmmm..." He growls, rolling his head around "What to do with you?"

My heart started hammering against my chest and my breathing increased my chest lifting and dropping rapidly. I was about to beg him not to hurt me but I remembered what Grayson said, so I stopped everything frozen to the spot staring ahead of me. I didn't bother fighting anymore, I didn't want to plead, I didn't even cry. I knew I was in deep trouble and there was nothing I could possibly do to get out of it... Other than end it myself.

"We are going to have so much fun" Ethan says, snapping his fingers in front of my face to get my attention.

I peered up at him and he smirked.

"I'm going to let go of you now" Grayson says, slowly loosing his grip around me. "But that doesn't mean you can run off" he adds and I nod my head knowing that was a dumb thing to do.

I have a better idea.

Ethan starts walking in front, I was pushed by Grayson a little bit, that was cue for me to follow. We started making our way through the kitchen and a knife caught my attention.

Okay... Time to start my plan.

"Guys... I know you aren't exactly happy with me now" I start, which made Ethan stop in his tracks and face me clearly irritated. "I'm just feeling a little dizzy. Do you mind if I get a some water?"
Ethan narrows his eyes at me and steps forward

"No funny business" he states and I nod my head again.

I get a cup and fill it with water to make it believable and then I held the cup to my dry mouth, pouring it down my throat. I sighed in satisfaction and as I placed the cup on the side, I grabbed the knife and swayed it around staring at it. Grayson stepped forward and I swung it at him but he managed to avoid the hit due to his speed.

"Now... What did I just say?" Ethan questions, shaking his head.

"Something that I don't care about" I state.

"You just tried to kill me and you failed. You think you're going to succeed now?" He asks lightly laughing at the end.

I rolled my eyes "Oh I wasn't planning to use this on you"

"Then who?" Grayson asks stepping by Ethan "Me?"

I laugh at their idiocy and shake my head "I'll use it on me" I state, holding the knife against my chest.

"Are you serious?" Grayson questions

"Deadly" I tell them both, swinging it in the air watching as it caught the light.

"Isn't it funny, how with one quick swipe... I could end everything?" I laugh, even though I was slightly scared.

"You wouldn't do it" Ethan answers shrugging his shoulder.

I pounce on him and hold it against his chest lightly pressing on it.

"What happened the last time you said that?" I say, raising an eyebrow.

He grinned at me and pushed me off him with no struggle. I hit the hard floor with a thump and rub my throbbing hip, standing up again.

"Lets play a game" Grayson quickly says and I snap my head in his direction.

"What's it this time?" I ask curiosity taking over my anger.

"Ethan and I will give you a 5 minute head start" he pauses, capturing Ethan's attention as well. "You get to leave the house and go home"

"That's easy" I shrug "I'll just need a map"

Grayson claps his hand and I slightly jump "Now here's the fun part..."

Great, there's always a catch with him.

"You don't get a map, you have to find your own way home from here"

"I can do that" I say, slowly letting go of the knife.

"Whilst me and Ethan hunt you down" he adds and I drop the knife on the kitchen floor.

"You're what?"

"It's like chase. You are running away from Ethan I trying to get home. If you can get there without either of us catching you then you're safe to continue your life and we will forget about you. Set you free" I nod my head, watching his every movement.

"But if Ethan or I catch you... Then you will be staying here with us" pause "Where we make your life a living Hell and you'll wish that you never came back to find us in the woods that day"

"BUT THAT'S UNFAIR!" I shout, getting angry again.

"How exactly?" Ethan asks me, coming into view.

"You guys are vampires... Ya know?"

"Obviously we do know that" Grayson answers.

"Exactly. You get speed" I add

"You have a five minutes head start"

"It's going to take me like 5 minutes to get on track" I complain

"Fine" Grayson gives in "10 minutes"

"Perfect" I answer smiling but it soon fades, when I see him smirking at Ethan.

"What's the catch?" I question, realising this wasn't going to be as easy as I thought it was.

"For every advantage we give you... Means more time for us to do what we want if we capture you" he explains and I take a gulp. "Do you still want extra time?"

I bite the inside of my cheeks and map out all the option I had here but then remembered if I only had a 5 minutes head start then I wouldn't be on the right path and I couldn't form any plans to hopefully throw them off track.

"I still want the extra time" I tell him and they smile, eyeing me like I was their prey. But then again I am.

Shit...

I can't let myself be caught. God doesn't even know what's going to happen to me.

"Are you ready?" Ethan asks and I was about to nod my head when I saw what I was wearing. I pick the knife back up and rip the bottom part of the fabric to shorten it. "There" I say with satisfaction, I tuck the knife in my leg belt and straighten up. "I'm taking the knife too" I state with confidence.

"Do you know what that means?"

"Yep"

"And you're okay with that?"

"You're gonna have to catch me first" I grin looking at Ethan then to back to Grayson.

"Don't underestimate us sweetie" Ethan snarled and I bit my lip.

"Ready?" Grayson asks, making my gaze go back to him. I take a breath and nod my head.

"5...

4...

3...

2...

1...

Run!" He says loudly. As soon as the word 'Run' escaped his lips, I was off. My feet hammering the ground underneath "Sorry Satan" I quietly say to myself "But i'm not dying today"
