| �Your crazy lass.� He quickly clucked at his team and off he went. I smiled to myself, knowing no one was going to met me except Him. I glanced around me one last time and quickly climbed on my horse. The Devil�s horse, the people called him, for he was faster than any they had ever seen. And his coat shimmered the blackest of black. I raced up the hill, stopping only once to make sure everything was ready. After riding for only 20 minutes, I reached the cave opening. I climbed off my horse, holding him steady. He was snorting, showing he wasn�t nervous, but excited for the night to began. I heard a noise come from the cave and my heart started pumping. I saw a man walk out, dressed in the latest fashion. �Can I help you lass?� �I come with a message sir.� �And that is?� �I was to met you, to offer myself in place of my mother who has recently passed away.� �I�m so sorry to hear that. But what are you going to be able to do for me?� �I�m like no other child sir. I can not say more. I�m my mother�s child. Her blood goes through my veins.� He smiled and looked down at me. �Tell me my dear friend, how old are you?� �I shall be 13 this July.� �And what year is it?� �1764 my lord.� �Ah, I have been asleep for far to long. I�m weak. Would you like to dine with me tonight?� �I�ll be pleased to sir.� �Excellent. And your name?� �Rochelle my lord.� �Ah, your mother�s name is it not?� �Amongst others.� �Yes, I do remember. Please, call my David.� �Yes David.� He walked me into the cave, his arm making it�s way around my waist. I swallowed, not quite certain what I was getting myself into. �Don�t be scared. I will do nothing to you lass. You are mine, so I shall protect you. In return�, I�ll just leave it that you are mine.� I nodded my head and locked eyes with him. His brown eyes burned into mine. I stood tall as he approached me. He smiled and his eyes grew darker. He leaned his head forward and his lips brushed mine. He kissed me, his teeth biting mine. I moaned and he embraced me. My arms flew around his neck, letting his hair down. He slowly pushed me up against a wall and moved his kiss down my neck. My head flew back and I felt his lips on my pulse point. I felt a sting and than my word became nothing more than darkness. �Theresa?� a voice called me. �Theresa Rachel, wake up.� I moved my head to the side and looked around me. I moved my hand to my head and slowly felt the bump forming on the back of my head. �Are you okay hon?� �Yeah Kev, I�m fine.� I shook my head, remembering my dream. �Was it really just a dream?� I asked myself. �Come on, I need to go home.� �Baby, I don�t think so. Do you realize you�ve been knocked out now for almost two days?� �WHAT? I need to get home. I have to deal with this case and everything else. Come on, let�s just go.� �Woah, the doctors have to check you out.� �Screw the fuckin� doctors. I have more things to do than sit here and deal with this shit.� With that, I got out of bed and started looking for clothes. �I see you�re up lass?� I quickly turned around and looked at the man. �Yes sir. I�m fine. I was on my wait out.� �Sorry, no will do. I can�t release you until I at least have one look over. You�ve been out for too long lass.� �I have worse battle scars. With or without your permission, I�m leaving. It�s easier if you just say I�m fine to go.� �As you wish lass. I�m not stupid, I know what gets into you.� �What does that mean Steven?� �Nothing lass. Nothing at all.� My eyes narrowed as I watched his back walking out the door. �Whatever. Can we please go home honey?� �Yeah, sure hon.� I drove along the road, a gut feeling telling me not to go down the road. I shook it off and kept driving, turning the radio up more trying to ease my nerves. I sighed as my car started making an odd noise. I pulled over and watched my car die. �Great, just fucking great,� I screamed. I grabbed my purse and started searching for my cell phone. �Ah shit, I left it in my house.� I rolled my eyes and started walking down the road. I clutched my purse to me, feeling my gun in my waist. �Pardon me my lady?� a voice spoke out. I stopped and slowly turned around. �Lost?� �No, just looking for the nearest bathroom,� I said. �Excuse me, I really need to go.� I turned back around and started walking away. �You know, you�re very pretty,� the guy said. I stopped and turned around. �Thank you. You know, you don�t have to follow me. I�m a big girl and I have no money.� �No, but you may have something else I may need,� the guy said, looking me up and down. �Alex?� a voice called out. Another male figure stepped out on the road. �Brian, you�re ruining my fun.� �She�s not yours to play with.� �Than who�s? She has a very strong scent. Her life is think.� �She�s Howie�s Alex. So, she�s a no-no,� Brian said. I shook my head and walked away. �Where do you think you�re going?� another voice asked me. �Look, woah, there�s three?� �Yeah, Theresa,� a fourth voice broke out. I looked the new guy over. He was tall, blonde hair, blue eyes. He had black shoes, leather pants, black wife beater, and a black leather jacket, floor length. �Okay, you must know me, yet I know nothing about you.� �I�m Alex,� Alex said. He walked up behind me and rested his hands on my shoulders. I didn�t flinch for deep inside I knew him. I felt his breath on my neck and his tongue flicked out. I shivered from the cold tongue ring he had. He pulled away and walked back with the group. I checked him over. Black boots, tight leather pants, silver belt, black shirt with red spots all over it, and a regular leather jacket. He had a neck choker and reddish brownish hair and brown eyes. |
