Chapter two
"Bingo! Hide and seek is over now". A vampire said, licking his fangs and smiling. The rest of them came out from where they had hidden. There were about six of them.
I really didn't know what to even feel like or what to do. I didn't know how to react to the reality I was facing. It felt like a dream or an imagination. I just froze.
"Lord please this isn't real, I beg you" I said in my head as I shut my eyes.
"You think you're so smart, huh? You really felt like you outsmarted Vampires". One of the Vampires said, as he grabbed me by my throat and lifted me up, causing me to choke.
"We saw you were really interested in the game of hide and seek so we decided to play with you", another continued.
I couldn't say anything because I was really choking, I couldn't even plead.
"Leave her, are you nuts? She will die!" a vampire yelled. It felt like he was superior to all of them.
He released his hands while I was up in the air, so I fell very hard and hit my head on the floor, then the side of my head started to bleed.
"How dare you!" the superior said, grinning at his teeth and slapping him.
"Nobody here has the right to do anything to her, only the mayor will decide her fate. If anyone here lays another finger on her, I'll end that person", he added.
"She's so adorable, Hazel's eyes are very rare and her hair is blonde just like my hair too". One of them said
They took me outside and ordered me to hop into the limo they had brought. They brought about eight limos and each of them was filled with the slaves they had captured and about two Vampires in each of them.
I was at the side of the limo,close to the window as they were driving. I was trying to take my last view of the city, my heart was so filled with bitterness. My mom had promised to take me with her, but instead vampires are taking me. Tears went down my cheeks as I saw dead bodies as we were leaving the city. Later, the clouds were getting darker and finally we arrived at our destination.
I started reminiscing all they had said about the mayor of the city, Sangre, the city where the Vampires live. They said he was very strict and wicked and he was the one going to decide our fate.
All I was hoping for was to be spared. I always wanted a long life, but it's clearly not possible anymore. I have heard how Sangre's mayor kills humans. He uses his claws to scrape their skin all over, then suck them till they die.
"What kind of torture could be worse than this," I thought to myself with a great sigh.
I have also heard the mayor hates humans from Guerrero more than he hates other humans from other cities. It feels like I'm also going to be tortured to death because the Vampires inform him where they captured each human from.
I tried to get myself ready emotionally before facing the evil Mayor and trying to accept the fact that I was going to be tortured to death.
The Vampire's city was a very beautiful one , it would have been best for adventure, but that's if you came out of there alive.
They instructed us to get down and follow them.They neither tied our legs nor our hands, still nobody could dare try to escape. Vampires are a hundred times faster than we humans.
I stared at the mansion as I was walking into it, still struggling with my emotions and thoughts about how I'd be dead in a few minutes. From the gate before walking into the main house there was a very large circular pool decorated with light.
"Wow, Vampires swim too," I said very softly to myself.
"Yes, we do have fun too," a vampire replied . I was very shocked about two things.I was shocked about him hearing me and him responding to me so nicely, but his opinion didn't really matter. The mayor was going to kill me anyway.
Just the walk from the gate to the hall took about ten minutes, finally we got there at last ,"phew" I sighed, breathing heavily.
In the hall, there were about fifty vampires. One was sitting on a golden seat at the center of the hall. That was definitely the mayor. He didn't even seem like he was in a good mood to pardon anyone. There were two vampires standing next to him, one on the left and the other on the right.
I caught a cold in the car because I wasn't wearing a coat to warm my body, so I was sneezing uncontrollably. Everyone was quiet, waiting for the mayor to break the silence and speak . I was about to sneeze but I tried my very best to hold it in because I knew just that sneeze would invite death and pain to me.
I held my nose with my thumb and index, pinning the nostrils together in order to control the sneeze, but unfortunately for me, I couldn't hold it any longer. I unconsciously released my hand and made a very loud sneeze that caught the mayor's attention.
"Lord, I know this is my last day on earth, please make my soul rest peacefully", I prayed in my mind as hot tears rolled down my cheeks.
"Who was that?!" The mayor yelled.
I stepped forward, bowing and gluing my eyes to my feet.
"Where did you take her from?" He asked one of the Vampires.
"She's from the city of.. Guerrero" The Vampire replied.
"Hmmmmmnnnnn…." He smiled showing his fangs.
"Nice eyes huh, so bright and attractive" He said in an extremely sarcastic manner as he stood from the chair and walked closer to me.
He used his claws to rip off my cloth at the back, piercing through my skin.
I groaned in agony, I was in severe pain, the pain was just too unbearable for me to be mute.
He was about to press his fangs on my neck
"STOP!!". A deep and resonant voice commanded, leaving everyone's mouth in the hall wide opened. "who is this man that had the guts to command the mayor". I thought in my head.
