Chapter Four :3

Chapter Four
(Brendon’s POV)

I closed my eyes gently as Taya became eliminated from my sight. My mind wandered back to the time when I was human. I felt another tear streak down my face and laughed. I, one of the most feared creatures on earth, was crying. I was suddenly transported to the ride home from work on that dark day. I wanted to tell myself to drive faster, to hurry up to save Sophia and my wife, but the scene played the same way it had when I had lived it. I pulled into the driveway, locking the door and walking towards the house. I remembered as I walked into the front doorway, I had this strange sensation as if someone was watching me and a bitter taste on my tongue. Some people had said to me once that when you taste a bitter taste on your tongue, then something bad is going to happen. Ignoring my increased heart rate, I opened the door and walked in carefully. I looked around. None of the lights were on.

“Lucy?” I called, my ears searching for the voice of my wife. There was no answer. 

“Sophia?” I called, this time switching my target to that of my daughter. There was still no answer. There was a sudden noise from the upstairs bedroom. I quietly walked upstairs, each footstep getting heavier as I got higher and higher. My breathing grew quicker to keep in time with my heartbeat. My eyes searched the hallway for anything that might jump out at me. Looking to my side, I quickly grabbed a lamp from the hallway, continuing to step forward. My eyes darted from side to side when I finally spotted a light from Sophia’s room. I gently turned the handle, allowing the door to swing open by it’s self as I held the large lamp in my hand, defensively. On my daughter’s bed, a hideous creature sat hunched over. I watched in horror as I saw my daughter’s limp body in it’s arms as the figure drank from her throat, a small trickle of blood running down. It dropped her suddenly, it’s eyes falling on me. It grinned wickedly, taking a form of a more human like creature. The creature which I now assumed to be a boy took a step forward then suddenly lunged at me. I took my lamp and swung it forward, hitting the creature across the face. He snarled, his wound healing. 

“What did you do to my daughter?” I asked, shouting at him. He shrugged innocently.

“the first lady didn’t satisfy my appetite, so I moved on to the little girl. You don’t mind, do you?” He sneered, getting back up. His blood red eyes shot through my heart as he took a step forward, his fangs glistening as a wide smile spread across his face. I held up the lamp defensively.

“Now that we know that, I suppose I should tell you. Both girls didn’t satisfy my appetite. How do you feel about joining them?” He asked. I snarled, hitting him across the face again, harder this time. The creature fell to the floor, a bit of blood spilling from his wound. 

“I’ll join them in my own time, asshole” I growled. I hit him again in the stomach. The creature groaned and vomited a bit of blood. I went to swing again, but this time the creature grabbed the lamp. His eyes stared back furiously into mine. He gripped the lamp tightly, then pulled it out of my hand and threw it across the room. He then grabbed my throat and slammed me into the wall. I clawed at his hand, feeling defenceless. He stared into my eyes, sighing.

“I really hate human eyes. They are filled with such… innocence. So weak.” he said softly, then stabbed me through the heart with the lamp. I felt the sharp pain then the blood draining from my body. I gritted my teeth. There was a sudden noise as the vampire was flung away from me. All I could hear were animal noises. I looked around and saw the other vampire flee as a figure stepped up to me. He crouched down, staring straight down at me. All I could see were two hazel eyes staring down at me. I felt a sense of calamity as he stared into me. He looked around at what had happened, then stared back at me.

“Mr. Urie? Brendon? If you can hear me, I want you to wave your pointer finger.” He stated. I made a noise and waved my finger. He grinned gently.

“Okay, good. Now I’m going to give you a choice now. I want you to choose between dying or moving onto a different way of living. Becoming someone like me. What do you say?” The man asked. I coughed slightly and nodded.

“I want… to live” I said gently. He nodded, then reached over and pulled the lamp out of me. I gritted my teeth as I felt the metal come loose from my body. As my vision darkened, one thing woke me up. A pair of fangs piercing my neck. I was so overwhelmed in pain that I couldn’t make a noise. I quickly lost consciousness. The one thought that ran through my mind was revenge and love for my daughter and wife. I saw Sophia reaching her hand out to me as I felt the blood draining from me, but as I reached, I was quickly pulled away. When I awoke, the man from the previous night was leaning against the wall, along with another man. The other man took a step forward.

“Good morning, Brendon. I am John and this is Ryan. Don’t expect us to welcome you.” He snarled then walked back out. The one named Ryan stepped towards me.

“Welcome to our family. Excuse John. He’s normally like that. Anyways, are you hungry?” He asked, holding out a blood packet. I quickly grabbed the packet and began hungrily slurping on it. I looked up at Ryan, who had begun to walk out.

“What happened to my family?” I asked. Ryan froze then opened the door.

“Dead on arrival.” He stated, the shut the door behind him. I felt my mind spin. They were gone forever…


I was quickly transported from the past and back into the present. I looked over at Taya who was now crying as well. She stared back into my eyes as she held me tightly.

“I’m sorry” She said softly. I shook my head as I wiped my eyes.

“You didn’t do anything.” I stated. Taya shook her head.

“No, its that I can’t do anything” She said gently. I quickly grabbed her arms, staring straight into her blue eyes. They reflected pools of the ocean, something I hadn’t seen in a while.

“You don’t need to do anything. Just be you and don’t give into anything.” I said firmly, yet gently. She nodded wiping her eyes again.

“Okay.” She said calmly. I smiled happily.

“Now, go get changed. it’s about three in the afternoon and you’re still in pyjamas!” I exclaimed, trying to cheer her up. She nodded.

“Okay Brendon” She said, standing up. I too stood up, walking her to the door. I closed it gently behind her. Once I had safely closed it behind me, I collapsed as more tears fell down my cheeks. I wiped them away, biting my lip sadly.

“That vampire was right. Human eyes do reflect innocence. However I do have to say that I quite enjoy the innocence that humans hold.” I said gently, looking up at the ceiling.
