I went back up the stairs to my room. I had all the things I needed in there, my books and records for my research, my computer to help bring up files and anything else. I also had my bed and I had a small on suite bathroom. And finally I keep my own personal weapons in my cupboard next to my bed. All other weapons are down in the cellar with the shooting dummies for practice. My other love in my room, my CD player. This is what keeps me going. All the music I could want to listen to I have. And I can play them anytime of the day and at any volume. Im a fan of metal music as it allows me to relive the stress and anger that builds up, although I can do that whilst blasting the brains from the werewolves but their not around 24/7.
Looking out onto the front of the grounds, the rain still pouring and violently hitting the window. I can see the trees bending to the wind, and everything at mercy to mother nature. Going over to my bed I lie down and think of all the things that happened today and all the memories in my life.
I found myself in a dark place, then I realised I was in the subway. Dark and cold I was running and hiding from this monster. It was like a dark shadow of a man that had fangs and claws and he was calling my name. I was running down the platform and it just kept going I was running and running but I couldn’t get away from it. So I decided to jump onto the tracks, I kept running through the tunnel, the ground was disappearing from my feet, I couldn’t stop. Looking behind me he was no longer following me, he stood their waving. Looking back in front of me he was there, I stopped running and the ground fell from beneath me and I was falling. And that’s when I hit the floor below me, covered in spikes.
“Argh!!” I sat up screaming and panting. I was sweating and I had tears down my face. Falcon ran in, after hearing my screaming.
“Jesus are you ok?” I swallowed hard.
“Yeah, just a bad dream” I sat up and got out of bed and walked over to the window. Closing the door behind him, he walked over to join me and hugged me from behind.
“You know you scared me half to death, I thought someone was attacking you”
“No im a big girl, besides I would have stabbed them with the dagger that’s under my pillow” I said smiling. He chuckled and stroked his hands down my sides. I felt him laying gentle kisses on my neck. At that point I melted into his arms.
“I love you” he said turning me around to face him. I stared into his crimson eyes and smiled.
“I love you too”. I felt him put his hands on my hips and pull me closer, as he did so he kissed me. My knees went weak and my heart skipped a beat.
“Wow” I said when he broke the kiss, he laughed and stroked my cheek.
“Your amazing” he said and with that he picked me up and lay me back on my bed. He wiped the stray hair from my face and kissed me again. Laying down next to me he held me tight for the rest of the night.
I woke to find him sitting on a chair, he must have moved or woke early because I saw him watching me.
“Morning sweetheart” he said getting up and walking over to my bed, he perched on the side.
“Morning” I said sitting up and hugging him.
“How are you now?”
“Alright” I say getting up and going to my draw and getting out leathers and go into the bathroom to get changed.
“Im going to go now, their goanna be wondering where I am” I heard him say.
“Ok” and with that I heard the door close. I walked out of my room back down into the crypt.
Walking through the big wooden doors once again I knelt down next to the talismans and said a prayer for our elders, hoping this war would be over soon.
Maria a young girl, she was here training to be a vampire and practice her skills to be like us one day, was running towards me.
“Sollari, Sollari!” she called.
“Yes Maria”
“The armourer wants to see you” she said panting and catching her breath.
“Ok, thank you” with that she hugged me and wondered off.
Walking along these dark corridors and down a floor to the armour room, I found Spike there who looked up at me when I walked in.
“Ahh I have been expecting you” he said going over to the rack on the wall,
“Yes Maria told me”
“Good, good. Now come here” and he turned around placing a bullet in my hand.
“What’s this?” I said looking at it seeing a liquid inside.
“This is our new weapon”. I looked up at him urging him to continue.
“Well it has a very concentrated form of silver nitrate inside. This new one will mean that like the old, it will go straight into their blood stream and they will be helpless, but this is a more concentrated dose, and there is more in there, meaning you should have to fire less and get same results.” I nodded and looked at it closely.
“It also means that you can enjoy watching them squirm on the floor helpless” he continued.
“Oh and you know I love that, it puts all the fun back into the game” I smiled.
“Yes… well I thought you might like to try it out” he handed me gun with one loaded round. I took aim at the dummy and fired, one in the chest, on in the stomach and one in the head. I watched as silver fluid ran from the holes.
“Wow, you have really out done yourself this time”
“Thank you” he smiled.
“Oh and one more thing” he said going over to a draw.
“I have taken the liberty to make you new leathers” he held them in front of me. They were beautiful; it zipped up all the way to the neck, a corset style bit over the top, which was slightly thicker leather, laced up to perfection. I smiled.
“Wait one more surprise” he said, and with that he opened a cupboard and pulled out new boots. Knee high and buckled up the side with thick soles, and a bit of heal.
“Awe I love it all” I said hugging him,
“Some how I thought you would” he smiled.
“Well get going we haven’t got time to waste” he said going back to testing the silver nitrate. I felt confused, so I decided to pay a visit to the elder, after suiting up.
