Chapter 25: "We meet again"
I sat in the back of the van with the vampire I thought I killed. My hands still cuff behind my back as I lean on the walls of the van. I kept my eyes closed not wanting to look the vampire in the face. I can hear his breath every second we drive farther away from my family. I should have made sure I killed the baster that day.
“I know you’re not asleep.” He said with a little amusement in his voice.
“Who said I was trying to fake?” I ask him opening one eye to look at him.
“Nobody.”
I open both my eyes sitting up against the wall “Where are you taking me?” I ask him.
“You know who we taking you to.”
“That wasn’t what I ask you,” I told him.
He looks at me with amusement an eyebrow raised. He decided not to answer me as his phone rings in his pocket. I lean my head back closing my eyes again. We’ve been driving for a few hours now and seem to be driving some more. I couldn’t fight my tired eyes anymore and fell asleep.
“We thought you would never sleep!” A voice yelled behind me.
I turn to find Sasha standing behind me. She wore a black tank top and black pants. Her hair was up in a messy bun as she looks at me with her arms cross. I look at her confused looking around me, we stood outside the cabin.
“What the…How did I get here and what are you doing here?” I ask.
“Don’t act stupid now Anglia. Your dad came back to the cabin with one of the biggest knots I have ever seen on anyone. Then he has been yelling at everyone especially me to help find you, let me just say he’s not in the best of moods. I wouldn’t be either if my daughter was taken right under my nose….”
“Can you every get to the point Sasha,” I said cutting off her rant.
She glared at me before continuing “Where are you?” She asks me.
“I don’t know! I’m in the back of a van with no windows.” I told her.
“So you did nothing that will at least help us find you. Like counting every second that pass by or knowing if you went North or South.”
“No, but we went South of the cabin before turning West.”
“You suck! Your parents, especially your dad and Daniel will kill to find you. When your grandmother said that I might reach out to you in your dreams to find out where you are. They almost jumped me to try. And come to find out that you don’t know anything!”
“Daniel?” I ask her.
“Ugh! Bye Anglia you were never any help.”
“Hold up! You can dream walk to?” I ask her in amazement.
“Really?”
“Sorry, I just register that. Anyway, do you guys have a plan? Didn’t my dad know Tatrous on a personal level?”
“He did! Maybe you’re not so useless after all!” She said before disappearing from thin air.
“Wow! It’s only been half a year.” I mumbled to myself shaking my head.
A shack on my shoulders woke me up. I open my eyes slowly before looking up into red eyes. He crouch in front of me only inches away. I sat up which cause him to move back an inch. That’s when I noticed that we stop.
“Potty break!” He told me with a smile.
“Thanks, but I already used it on myself,” I told him.
“Really?” He asks in disgust.
“No, I actually hold it for the four hours.”
“Come own.” He said hauling me up from the van floor.
He leads me out the back that was open by one of his men. One of them helps me down to the ground. The sun was about down now which tells me it’s past five. We stop in the middle of nowhere with only trees shrouding the road. He steps off after me before taking me away from the guy that help me off. He leads me towards the woods on the side of the road.
“What’s your name, I’m tired of referring you as the vampire,” I said to him.
“Who do you refer me as that too?” He asks.
“Myself, since your the only companion that I have in the back seat,” I told him.
“Well, if you need a name you can call me William.”
“How about just Will.”
“William.” He told me in a serious voice.
I roll my eyes mocking him. He drags me to a stop letting go of my arm. Spinning me around he grabs my arms taking the handcuffs off.
“You’re taking them off?” I question.
“Well, you can’t use the restroom with them on.” He said like it was the most obvious thing.
“You’re not worried I run away or attack you?” I ask him bringing my worst forward rubbing them.
“No, if you run will be able to find you before you find the town. If you attack me it won’t end well for you.”. He told me with a smile.
“No, if you run will be able to catch you.” I mock him walking over to a private spot.
“Do you have anything to wipe…” I ask him turning to face him.
He pulls some tissue out his coat pocket tossing it to me. I caught it easily before continuing on to doing my business. Trying to escape wouldn’t be my best option, so I’ll ride this out and see if my dad can find me or I can escape without getting myself killed.
“Thanks,” I told William handing him back the unused tissue.
We walk back to the van were William men wait for use. He motion for one of the men to take me. He put me back in the van as William went to talk to someone. I’m surprised he didn’t put the handcuffs back on. I took a seat and it wasn’t long when William join me. We start moving again only seconds later.
“No handcuffs?” I question him.
“I think we both know where we stand,” He said looking at me with a small smile.
