Fair Game (A Vampire Story)

She really wants to kill me, but for what?

“Because you lead them to me, you bitch.” Gwen was standing off to the side of you. She was snarling. More of a mongrel then a sleek vampire.

“I never did anything, you ran.” You said.

“It doesn’t matter now, because I’m going to kill you.” She said with confidence.

“Oh is that right.” You said laughing. If Gwen wanted to play like this then, she was no longer a friend. “I was going to talk this through, but as I hear…you don’t care…so I don’t. So, when I’m done killing you I’m going take Nero, and leave.”

“You speak like you’re already done, dying that it…cause you and you punk-ass boyfriend will be together in HELL!” Gwen came flying at you. Sending you flying back. You could feel the bones in your back crack. You cried out.

***

Nero:

Sarah cried out.

“You’re fighting for something you can’t keep Nero.” The vampire said.

Are you still mad, that I attacked you precious Noah…her blood was bitter. It was a waste of my time. Nero said smirking. This vampire…you could remember, this is why he was hunting Sarah and Gwen and Trius…he killed his lover a long time ago. He was trying to get revenge. “What are you fighting for?”

“I am avenging her death, but…who are you fighting for, I hope not Sarah. She’s only half; she can always go back as Gwen. But they can never go back together. Because Sarah is going to die…I’m going to kill someone you love. But, like I asked who are you fighting for.” The vampire said in his fighting stance.

“I know one will die, but not Sarah…and I’m fighting…well…to see you die.” Nero said laughing.

“And what about this Sarah…this blood on Gwens hands…she’ll love that.” The vampire said.

“Gwen is going to die, surely…because one thing I know Sarah is fighting for…well two.”

“Enlighten me.” The vampire said.

“To live another day, to be with me…and to kill Gwen for trying to kill her…easy…you BOY.” Nero said. He moved his feet apart for his fighting stance.

Gwen:

Sarah was on the ground. She was coughing. Gwen smiled to herself.

“You need to get with the program, DARLING!”

“Shut the fuck up!” Sarah says. She gets off the ground. She looks at Gwen. A single tear falls from her eye.

“Am I seeing crying?” Gwen smirking.

“No you see me, fake crying over what I need to tell your mother…at your funeral.” Sarah said. She leaps at you. Gwen tries to counter attack, but she’s to slow. Sarah goes for the neck, she latches on.

Arghhhhh. Gwen cries out. She hears you crunching on her neck. Gwen flies you back into a tree. You fall off.

“You…” Gwen trials off.

“What…” Sarah says. Her blood on her mouth. “You ready to give up?”

“No I’m ready to be done with you.” Gwen yells. Gwen runs towards you. You leap back. Gwen’s fighting slow and she swinging wildly.

“Why are you getting so mad, friend. I hope you didn’t think I was going to let you kill me.” Sarah said landing like a father on newly fallen snow.

“I knew you were going to fight me…but I see how you are really fighting.” Gwen saying nodding her head, in a professional way.

“You already know me, boo.” Sarah says laughing. “I guess you didn’t think I was going to fight you. You come here trying to kill me for no reason. I have done nothing to you. If anything I should kill you. You left me for dead. Then…get killed your self. Karma isn’t it.” Sarah said chuckling.

“If I’m not mistaken your dead too, well half anyway…so we have something’s in common.”

“No yea but here’s another.” Sarah says.

“And what is that fallen vampire.” Gwen says. She is pacing back and froth.

Sarah comes at Gwen. They start dancing again.

“We both lost something…each other.”

***

Nero:

“Why are you trying so hard? Are you getting tired?’’ Nero could se the vampire looking ragged. And beaten. He had a gash with blood running down his face. His breath was coming out in gasps. It was over for him. Nero came at him. The vampire didn’t even move. He was beaten. Nero latched onto his neck.

“Arghhh…”

There was a sick crunching noise.

The vampire body goes limp.

Nero, made sure he’s dead, with the last suck of his blood.

He wiped the blood from his mouth.

“That was easy.” Nero sighs.

He looks at the vampire. His eyes are open, they are black…pitch black, like Nero’s heart. “Now I have to kill that little, cunt Gwen.”

Nero disappears into the woods.

Demetrius a.k.a Stalker:

I hope they are alright. But, Gwen is going to die. Sarah…Could die as well. Then what will happen. She can’t live she is not the person.

“Don’t worry its going to be alright.” Nero knows what he’s doing.

“Why is this happening?”

“It’s all because of Nero…he killed that vampire’s lover. The one that Nero is fighting. We did a sweep of the coast. And I guess Nero was a new blood because…he attacked out of nowhere. Then, all we know is he killed her. We left before her covenant came. But they tracked us. They set this whole thing up for years. To the parties up here, next to the woods. And I guess tonight they decide to go through with it. But you just got tangled up into it. That vampire wants to kill Nero because of his lover Noah…and Nero…” Augustine trailed off.

“Nero what…”

“Nero doesn’t seem to care. He changed the life of your friends forever. There’s no going back anymore. It’s either one dies, or they both die tonight, well all three of you in fact. They can’t be any traces of this when it’s over. That’s why he wanted me to take you out here. To finish of you. And he sent the other there separate ways. To get out of range when the cleaners get here.” She says looking into the night.”

This has been the craziest 48 hours of my life. Hold on I thought you were a cleaner.”Trius says.

“We are. But not as strong at the other in Rome, they control us, and you all know too much information.” She looks at him.

“So I’m going to die.”

“It’s up to Nero.”

“Fuck that, I’m not dying because of you muthfuckers. You bring all that shit over here. Then wanna act like it was our fought. If anybody should die, it should be that Nero. You’re not going to kill me, or Nero. I don’t give a fuck what people is strong, and who is this and that. I’ll be damn. My friends are out there killing each other because of what your bloodsucker created.” Trius says walking off into a direction.

“Don’t you place this on us? Everything not us. Your friends fight with no reason. They fight because they are mad…not because of Nero.” Augustine says her voice dark.

“That vampire picked them out of the hundreds of people who come up here…that’s was not random. I come up here just to hang out. And one fucking night they wanna pick us. You bitch…shut the fuck up! I hate you. What about Gwen family, and her brother and sister and mother. What about Sarah. Do you know what she went through? Do you! HELL NAW! IT’S ALL YALLS FOUGHT FOR EXSITING. PERIOD. I LOVE MY LIFE, AND MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND EVERYBODY! BUT, YOU BLOODSUCKERS DON’T CARE! WHY, BECAUSE YALL’ DEAD! HUH!” Trius was shaking so hard the snow was moving around him. He was spiting. “Don’t come after me, you leech.”

***

Augustine:

Trius moved through the tree. Disappearing in the distance. He was right. It was all right. They messed up all these lives. For what. Nothing. Augustine loved Nero so much, but he chooses Sarah. And now she could she why. Because she is normal. He can’t let go of his life. Augustine caught up with Trius.

“Here’s the plan. I’m going to get you out of here. I’m going to bring you to that house. And I want you to stay there, until this is over.” She said with pleading eyes.

“Deal”. He said. “I’m sorry for what I said.”

“But your right.” She says pulling him on her back, and moving towards the house.
