I woke to the feeling of having been drugged. My body hurt all over and there was a bad feeling deep in the pit of my stomach that I was hanging from something. I slowly opened my eyes and there was nothing but blurriness. Leaning my head back, it came into contact with something hard. There was a light glow coming from the left side of me and I slowly turned my head that way. Torches lined the way giving an illumination to parts of the place. Moving my arms was more difficult because they were attached to something above my head. I slowly turned my head around and upward, but everything was so blurry that I couldn�t tell what my arms were attached to.
Finally after a few moments my vision cleared and I found myself in a place I didn�t want to be. I had been chained to a metal gate with my wrists shackled to each corner of it. When I glanced down to my feet the world began to spin. Guess I shouldn�t have done that fast. Once the world stopped spinning, I found my ankles also shackled to the gate. The position I was in reminded me of the figure they use for medical descriptions. When you think things can�t get any worse, they somehow just do. The gate was suspended in mid air hanging from another chain, which went up to the ceiling. The light wasn�t enough to see the whole place and I was wondering how I got here, then it all came back to me. The creepy guy had come after me again, once he realized I was still alive. I started to panic a little bit, not knowing where he was or how long I�d been chained up like this.
I didn�t have much time to figure out how I was going to get out of this because, torches flared to life in other parts of the area. They showed me exactly where I was and it wasn�t a good place to be. I had been taken to another part of No Man�s Land. A waterfall fell to the ground on the right side of me, while stalactites grew down from the ceiling. Below me something stirred awake and stretched its body. It reached from one side of the cavern to the other side with an approximate wing span of 8 feet. It was another dragon and it was bitch black. It was also a lot bigger than the white dragon from two days ago. As it moved you could hear something under it make a crunching sound. I really didn�t want to know what it was, especially if it was the remains of dead bodies.
It must have heard me because it swung its massive head towards me and smiled. It sat on its haunches and just starred me straight in the face.
�Ah, so you�ve awaken,� it said, and then with a clawed foot poked me in the ribs. It hurt and I cried out. The dragon smiled wickedly and remarked, �The master will be pleased.�
He then turned around and went towards the front of the cave, slowly disappearing out of sight. I sighed in relief and went back to surveying the area. As I said before there was a waterfall to my right that went down into the ground. The cave was larger than the last and farther down in another part of the cliffs. To my right there was nothing but a smooth wall lined with torches. As I looked up there was more than stalactites coming from the ceiling. There was a large opening where the night sky could be seen. Then to my surprise it suddenly closed, blocking out the moons rays. To the front was where the black dragon exited, so that must have been the exit out of the cave. I got the courage to glance below and was relieved to find no bones of dead people. What I did find shocked me. Lying in piles of gleaming sparkles was mounds of jewels, gold, silver, and other treasures that would make the bankers drool for your business. The dragon was sitting on a fortune and I began to think on what I would do with all that. For one thing it would help out my mom�s finances a lot. My little dream became a nightmare as I felt a pair of gold eyes on me. I looked up to find that my captor was standing at the entrance smiling at me. It was a freaky smile and I shuddered.
He moved with a grace that was too fast for the human eye to catch. To me it was like a blur or a shadow. He waved his hand and I dropped from the ceiling. My screams echoed through the cavern and they came to a stop when the gate stopped falling. The quick motion jarred my body and I cried out in pain. My head came back and smacked against the metal gate and I groaned. Before I could get myself back together the vampire ran a long finger down my cheek which made me shudder.
I gritted my teeth and said, �Don�t touch me.�
He did that tsk sound and replied, �Now Ms. Duncan you�re in no place to be giving me orders.�
I was cold, hurt and in a really pissy mood. Plus I didn�t know when to keep my mouth shut, because the next words out of it were, �Bite Me.�
He let out a laugh that sounded more like a screech and stated, �Why Ms. Duncan I already have. Twice in fact.�
I froze as his face got too close to mine. His lips slightly touched mine and they tasted of blood. He pulled away slightly and whispered, �You taste so sweet. You�re like honey and licorice mixed together.�
I think I whimpered a little and that made him smile. He took that moment to rub it in, �You�re scared as you should be my little witch. If I had known you were a Duncan I wouldn�t have let you go the other night. What better revenge than to turn the prodigy child into my queen. Your family won�t think twice about destroying me a second time. Not when they have you to lose as well.�
I glared at him and replied coldly, �You won�t get away with it.
He just smiled and stated, �But I already have.�
He began to twirl and dance in circles and I raised an eyebrow He was tea totally off his rocker. Something came back to me and I commented on it, �You won�t be able to fool the people for very long. Once they know it�s you that�s doing all the killing, they�ll come after you.�
He stopped and looked at me as if I had grown a second head. His face turned from nothing to anger as he swiftly grabbed my chin hard and hissed, �What the hell are you talking about little sweets.�
He was hurting me and tears began to fall but I stared at him and said, �I saw you on TV tonight talking to a reporter about your new night club.�
His eyes widened and he just stared at me as if he didn�t know what to say. Then he became irritated and mumbled something under his breath in a different language. He let me go and turned away quickly, heading back toward the entrance. He took a moment to stop and say something to the dragon then disappeared. The black dragon shifted into a black man nearly seven feet tall. He was bald and had piercing black eyes. The dragon had muscles bulging everywhere and was butt naked. He was huge and it was hard not to stare because for a bad guy he had it going on and it would make any woman stare. He looked like he was going to posing for playgirl magazine. The guy came over to me and just stared with a sour look on his face. He snorted and reached down to unhook my ankles from the shackles. He did the same with my wrists, and then to my surprise, threw me over his shoulders.
I stifled a scream, but the tears began to fall again. The jerk wasn�t even being careful on how he was treating me. I think he was doing it on purpose to get back at me for some reason or another.
Trying to keep my food down, I innocently asked, �Where are you taking me?�
He snorted and hissed, �To the master�s quarters.�
�Why?� I asked.
�Because he told me to,� he bellowed, then slapped me across my back side and replied, �Now shut up you crazy witch. I don�t want to hear your annoying voice. If you so much as squeak, I�ll kill you myself.�
�Go a head and kill me. Won�t you have a lot to explain,� I snorted.
He growled something under his breath and just kept on walking with me tossed over his should like a sack of potatoes. I really wanted to say something else but kept my mouth shut for the time being. I really didn�t want to be killed by a dragon. That really wasn�t the best way to leave this world.
