The red haired girl stood shakily as she stared at the dessicated body of the dead vampire who Arion had just killed on the floor.
She actually knew something was off about him and that he was ten times stronger than the dead vampire Brian.
That’s why she asked him for help.
“I knew you were a vampire too” she exclaimed, bracing herself up, as she arranged her clothes that were torn at different places all because of the struggling she had with Brian earlier, when trying to free herself.
“You’re free now, you can leave now..” Arion informed cleaning the corner of his lips, as he walked over to his car.
“Fuck” he cursed kicking his car with such a strong impact that the area he kicked was destroyed.
The idiot Brian ruined his car, how does he go from here? It would take him hours before he gets another one, cause he had to wait till morning and probably purchase another.
“So you’re a vampire too?” A tiny voice asked from behind him, as he snapped his head to face her.
“What are you still doing here? Go home..” he said, giving her a menacing glare, but she seemed to be unfazed by him.
“I ran away from home..” she replied ,
“Then find somewhere else to go” he suggested, picking up a few things that he needed from the car.
“I don’t have anywhere else to go”
“Boyfriend, best friend..” he listed out his opinions as she shook her head.
“None..”
“Then why did you leave home?” He questioned curiously, why is he even still speaking with her? Well maybe it’s because he’s kind of intrigued to know how and why she knows about vampires and doesn’t even look scared to be conversing with one.
“Because I and my sister had a fight”
“Then go make up with her”
“I’m lost, I lost my way, I must have wandered off too far” she scratched the back of her neck nervously,
“Then find your way back..”
“I can’t, you see this city is stark full of vampires, I’m afraid I might get attacked again..” she explained, it’s really risky to roam the streets of Orleans at night, because of the heartless vampires, that are always looking for where to sink their fangs in.
“Then you shouldn’t have left home..” he spat,
“I’m done talking with you, little girl..” he said, packing his stuff in a backpack, as he made his way to leave, but was suddenly held back by the red haired girl.
“Don’t leave me here, I want to come with you” she proposed as his eyes squinted, why is she acting so brave? He thought he just killed a vampire a while ago in presence, and the body is still lying, but she’s not even shaken by it.
“Aren’t you scared of me?” He voiced out the question that has been bothering him.
“No, why should I? You’re my lifesaver, so I owe you my life..” she smiled at him.
“I guess you already know about vampires right?” He questioned as she nodded,
“Why?”
“Well because, um, well …the thing is um.. well, actually my sisters and I are kind of survivors, no parents and you know, so we usually come across them, sometimes..” she stuttered as his jaw worked,
“So it’s no longer news to us that vampires exist ..” she added,
“You should have reported this to the authorities ”
“You know no one will believe, well we actually did, but they called us mad, so..” she shrugged her shoulders, the next thing for them, was to learn about their weakness and start hunting them,
“Go home..” he said removing her hand from his,
“I can’t, I’ve lost my way..” she pouted with sad eyes as he chuckled dryly,
“That doesn’t walk on me, little girl..”
“I’m not a little girl..” she muttered,
“Please take me with you..” she pleaded, if he leaves her here, she’ll definitely lose her life, because as of now she has no weapon with her that can kill a vampire.
“You seem to be new around here, and I can tell you’re searching for something, take me with you I can help..” she offered her face beaming with smiles.
“No..” came his curt reply as her face fell,
“I’m going to behave we, I’ll help you find what you want, you know, I know Orleans like the back of my palms, I can help you..” she proposed,
“Like the back of your palms, eei..” he chuckled,
“I thought you lost your way home, if you know Orleans like the back of your palms, help yourself by going back home..” he said as she frowned, she didn’t even think before lying, she had been busted.
“And look little for, I’ve roamed the earth long before you were born, so you’re not the one that’s going to show me round..” he concluded, having made up his mind not to take her along with him, he seriously has nothing to do with her, a mere human, humans are the last creatures he wants to be near him.
“Alright you’ve caught me, I’m not lost, I ran away from home, you see, my sisters always lock me indoors, so I fled, I want to explore Orleans, so please take me with you” she whimpered,
“Then you made a very stupid decision, red haired, go back home”
“Please Blondie, take me along..”
“What did you just call me?”
“Blondie, you call me red haired too, please take me with you..” she placed her hands together begging him.
“No”NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
“Please ”
“No..”
“Please, please, please, please, please, please…please ” she kept on uttering please, as Arion stared at her in disbelief.
“I’ll do whatever you want..”
“Here..” he threw his bag to her, which she quickly caught,
“Follow me..” he finally said, as she jumped up in joy.
“Also, collect a coat from my bag and put it on” he offered, because her clothes were tattered and were not giving, people might get the wrong idea.
“Thanks..” she appreciated smiling from ear to ear.
“Don’t get too happy, Red haired, I still don’t trust you, so any mistake, you’ll lose your head..” he threatened,
“Make no mistakes, noted..” she said like an obedient soldier,
“Let’s go, we’ll find a place to spend the night ”
“Aye captain..”
“Don’t ever call me that?” He said with a threatening glare, walking away into the dark nights, as she followed behind him.
“Then what can I call you, Mr vampire, hottie, My sexy vampire, Mr seductive..” she blabbed listing all the names out, but damn he’s hot.
“Shut up, don’t say anything..” he snapped at her.
“Ok, I can tell you my name, ” she offered,
“I don’t want to hear it..”
“My name is El..”
“Any more words from you, and I’ll send you back..” he threatened, and that seemed to have done the trick, as she clamped her mouth together.
