I stared up at Patrick, recognizing those eyes of the hunter I had seen so long ago. I grinned at him, my colours spinning in my eyes violently. I stood up so my eyes were almost level with his. Patrick matched my grin.
“Well, you’re certainly faster.” He stated. I nodded, pulling out my gun, cocking it and aiming it at his head all in one fluid movement.
“Well, thank you. It’ll be needed to plug you, you god dammed fucker.“ I snarled. Patrick’s eyes turned their vampiric white as a look that brought chills down my spine spread across his face. It was a look of eagerness, yet murderous at the same time. I pulled my gun away from his face as he leapt out at me. I knew that he was too fast for the bullet so shooting at that time would be pathetic. He was faster than Ryan too, so creation spells wouldn’t help. I continued dodging his attack, focusing solely on speed and manoeuvrability. I leapt up suddenly, turning my feet around as I landed on the roof.
“This room has zero gravity now.” I stated, the air suddenly becoming loose and flimsy. I felt my body being able to stick to the roof with ease, rather than feeling as if I was going to fall onto the ground. Patrick suddenly began to float upwards towards me, confused as to how to make this stop. I smirked. I had him now. I leapt out at him, my gun aimed at his head. Patrick closed his eyes for a moment, then suddenly all the zero gravity in the room disintegrated. I landed back on the ground, stumbling at first, then relaxed as I regained my balance. I looked up at Patrick, confused.
“How did you do that?” I asked. Patrick just grinned.
“I told you. I’m part Talking.” He stated. I thought for a moment, staring at my shoes. I smirked, taking my shoes off as I began floating again.
“No you aren’t. not anymore. You just used your telekinesis to try and make it seem like you are.” I said. I looked around the room.
“No more zero gravity. Allow my feet to stick to the ground again if you please.” I said calmly. I felt the air in the room grow heavier as I floated downwards. Patrick glared at me.
“I am a Talking. I can control it. A Talking vampire is more powerful than you!” He growled, charging towards me. I shook my head as he gripped my shirt.
“No… its really not. You’re actually weaker because of your obsession with being someone like me…” I panted, grinning. A look of insanity crossed Patrick’s face as he tossed me into the wall. I felt my bones healing as I pushed myself back up. My glamour disintegrated as I walked towards Patrick. Patrick grinned wildly as the binds burst up from the ground, encircling my wrists and ankles. They pulled me towards the ground, pinning me there. Patrick laughed manically as he ran over.
“Look, look! You’re so weak that you can be stopped by ribbon! I can’t be stopped by ribbon. No I can’t! I can’t!” He cried. I sighed, feeling the ribbons beginning to take away my strength.
“P-Patrick…” I muttered. Patrick grinned as he bent down to look at me.
“Yes?” He asked, still laughing. I cringed as I felt a sharp pain from the binds.
“You are weak. You use cheap shots to try to hurt me.” I stated. Patrick glared at me.
“Fine. Lets fight this fairly. One on one.” He stated, removing the binds. I stood up calmly.
“Thank you. Now, I hope you don’t expect me to-” I started, but Patrick had already begun. I leapt out of the way of his attack, sliding under his legs quickly. I glanced at my watch. The hour was almost up. Reinforcements would be here soon, which meant I would have to deal with Patrick quickly. I looked around, trying to think of something to defend myself with. I suddenly got an idea as blue, green, red and brown spots appeared in my eyes. I held up one hand, my eyes turning red.
“Burn! Incinerate!” I commanded. Fire burst up around Patrick, but Patrick simply ran through it. My eyes turned green.
“Wind, push the enemy back.” I ordered. Patrick lifted his arms above his face, blocking that attack as well. My eyes turned blue.
“Drown the enemy and increase the pressure” I ordered. A bubble of water formed around Patrick, but Patrick quickly blew it up. I gritted my teeth as my eyes turned brown.
“Trip the enemy and pin him to the ground” I ordered. Several vines reached up through the floor boards, wrapping around Patrick. But Patrick pulled through them. He was now at my throat, gripping it tightly.
“I… I…” I started. I was all out of ideas. I couldn’t think of anything. Patrick grinned at me.
“I told you that you were weak” he snarled. I heard a gun cocking as I saw Josh behind him, the barrel of the gun pressed against Patrick’s head.
“Let her go.” He snarled. I cringed as Patrick held on tighter.
“J-Josh… I thought you were-” I coughed but Josh shook his head.
“I went out for a bit. Patrick made it seem like he was more competent than he is.” He stated. Patrick grinned, pressing me against his body and pointing one of his vampiric claws at my throat.
“Take one more step and I’ll slit her throat, Josh. You know that a Talking will die if you behead her.” Patrick growled. Josh lowered the gun slowly, maintaining eye contact with me.
“You’d know that better than I would seeing as how it was your master who lead the group that murdered the Talking. I believe you did your fair share yourself, right?” He asked. I closed my eyes. Great. I was the damsel in distress once again, and my captor helped out in killing my species. I looked up at Josh.
“Josh I’m sorry, I-” I started, but Patrick just pressed his nail against my throat. I knew how sharp his bag lady nails were. I cringed as I swallowed hard. Patrick grinned.
“Now. Sit down Mr. Ramsay.” He ordered. Josh stared at him.
“No.” He growled. Patrick looked down at me, then leaned in carefully.
“I wonder how you’d feel if your girlfriend was turned into one of my children.” He whispered, his breath tickling my neck. I looked up at Josh, pleading for him to run with my eyes. But Josh did as he was told. He sat down in the chair Patrick had summoned. Patrick smirked.
“It’s funny how weak you can be once you find someone you care about.” Patrick muttered. I just stared over at Josh. Josh looked up at Patrick, his eyes narrowing.
“What do you want?” He asked, placing the gun on the arm of the chair in case Patrick decided to try something. Patrick shrugged.
“I just want power. It’s the same thing all of us want.” He stated. Josh shook his head.
“I don’t.” He said calmly. Patrick laughed at him as I eyed Josh’s gun. I struggled a bit, but Patrick maintained his grip.
“Shush, shush. My, she’s a feisty one isn’t she?” Patrick asked, laughing. Josh glared at him.
“Let her go.” He growled angrily. Patrick just grinned.
“Or you’ll do what? I have her now. All I need to do is bite her and she’s mine for eternity.” Patrick stated. I closed my eyes, preparing myself.
“Josh. When you’re a vampire, do your male organs still work?” I asked. Josh raised an eyebrow.
“Taya, I hardly think that this is the time to be talking about sex, but if you wanna then I’m cool with that.” He teased, a smile spreading across his face. I rolled my eyes, glad for once that I was short as I hit Patrick in the balls. He winced in pain as he stumbled backwards, letting me go momentarily. I grabbed the gun and spun around, cocking it as I pressed it against Patrick’s forehead. Patrick looked up at me in fear, but I pulled the trigger. Patrick’s body fell to the ground with a hideous thud. His body disintegrated and turned into ash, blowing away in the non-existent wind silently. I turned around to look at Josh, still sitting in the chair.
“I told you, not until we’re married.” I said calmly, holding up my finger which had no ring on it. Josh sighed.
“That sucks because your move back there? That totally turned me on.” He stated. I smirked, walking back to him.
“Maybe I should be a mercenary like you?” I suggested. Josh grinned, standing up to stare into my eyes.
“Not in your life.” he said, shooting down my suggestion. I smirked as he picked me up and leapt back out the trap door. When we exited, a group of vampires stood around us. My squad had left, mainly because I had told them to. I stared at the reinforcements as their leader stepped forward. My jaw dropped down as I recognized him.
“Evan?” I asked. Evan’s eyes flickered red as he smirked.
“Taylor. Fancy seeing you here… Oh and Josh. I haven’t seen you since I, well I murdered your parents.” He stated. Josh started forward, but I placed a hand on his chest, pushing him back. I glared at Evan.
“Are you the one who created Patrick and sent him after us?” I asked. Evan shrugged.
“Well what if I am?” He asked. I rolled my eyes, aiming my gun at him.
“Well, then I’m going to have to blow your brains out.” I snarled. Josh moaned behind me.
“Babe, stop it. You’re becoming to sexy when you do that.” He whimpered. I sighed.
“If you want any, you know what you have to do.” I stated. Josh sighed, slipping a diamond ring onto my finger.
“Fine. You totally ruined the surprise though.” He muttered. I spun around.
“You’re proposing to me… when we’re about to get mauled by…” I turned around to count, “About fifty vampires including what looks to be like the daddy vampire that it turns out I’ve known since high school?” I asked. Josh shrugged calmly.
“Seems like a good time to me.” He stated. Evan sighed.
“Are you done?” He asked. I nodded.
“Sorry. We’re done.” I stated. Evan nodded.
“Well, so are we. We just wanted to see who’d win the fight. Toodle loo. We‘ll come back for you later though, when we feel like it” He said calmly, turning away. The group of vampires walked off, following their leader. I paused, looking back at Josh, then looked back to the vampires as they filed out. I stood their in thought before turning back to Josh.
“So, we get to go home?” I asked. Josh shrugged as he nodded.
“Seems so.” He stated. I grinned as he stepped forward, grabbing my hand. Josh and I began the long walk home, prepared for our infinite struggle for our life. Josh suddenly paused.
“What have I gotten myself into?” He asked. I grinned.
“I don’t know. I am pretty high maintenance. Good luck.” I teased. Josh smirked.
“You know what? I don’t care how high maintenance you say you are. We’ll be together forever, babe.” He stated. I laughed happily.
“You promise?” I asked. Josh grinned, pulling me towards him as he dipped me down in the moonlight.
“Cross my heart and hope to die.” He stated, leaning in and kissing my lips passionately.
