“So where are we going to go?” Eva wondered. Dorian didn’t seem to hear her, but she knew better. “Why do you just ignore me, Dorian? You know how annoying that is.”
Dorian didn’t respond. She rolled her eyes and crossed her arms across her chest, the anger bubbling within her veins.
Minutes flew by while they sat silently until Dorian slid his window down and slowed to a stop in the middle of the dirt road. He got out of the car and quickly strode over to the side of the road, sniffing in the air.
“What’s wrong? What are you doing?” she asked, hoping he would answer. The anger had dissolved and she was curious.
Dorian stared at her in disbelief. “I’m trying to smell either William, the dead humans, or the vampires.” He suddenly jerked his head to the left. “And I have succeeded.” Dorian sprinted to the car and zoomed off before he had even closed the door. “I should take you home,” he warned.
“But…” Eva complained, but he ignored her and spoke over.
“It’s too dangerous for you and I will not intentionally put your life at stake when I can easily keep you safe.” Eva huffed and glared out the windshield, thinking of something to say until, finally, she thought of it.
“But it’s dangerous sitting beside you right now.” She peered over at his face. “It’s dangerous being within a mile radius of you, yet you still let me.” He began to frown, knowing he was losing the battle. He threw his hand up to silence her.
“Okay. Just…don’t get upset if something goes wrong.” His frown grew sadder. Eva knew he didn’t put much of a fight up and, if he wanted to, he could still win. Eva decided to remain quiet for the rest of the ride.
They drove into the forest and wove through the dirt road. There were white and yellow honeysuckles growing on the side of the road and Eva wished so desperately that her life could be as simple as that. She reached for a curl from her hair and began twiddling it through her fingers. “This is peaceful.” Eva glanced up at the road. A dark shadow appeared in front of the vehicle and then everything happened too quickly.
Eva and Dorian both wrenched forward as they hit it and the car swerved out of control. Eva didn’t realize what was happening until ultimately the car stopped in the ditch. She rubbed her jaw where it had slammed into the dashboard and then pulled her hand back up to her eyes. It was stained red, but that’s not why she was terrified. She looked over at Dorian, who hadn’t moved yet.
“No!” she screamed. She unbuckled her seatbelt and leaned over to lift his head off the steering wheel. Blood immediately oozed from his unconscious head and poured out onto her and the interior of the car around them. Eva wiped the tears from her eyes and leaned in closer to try to find his heartbeat.“Please don’t leave me,” she pleaded and then quieted so she could listen. At last, after what Eva could only describe as a century, she heard an unsteady pulse. She wiped another tear from her face as it streamed down her cheek. “Thank goodness,” she muttered as she cradled the injured vampire’s head in her arms.
Eva, as calmly as she could, placed Dorian’s body back on the seat and got out of the car. She walked over to where they had hit the dark figure in the road. “How could an animal cause something like this to happen?” she wondered. “It must have been huge.” As she approached the exact spot, there weren’t any animals there. She bent down closer to the ground and then saw the bloody puddles covering the road. She was confused. Her head flew up when a loud laugh came from beside the car. Eva shuttered as she faced him.
Eva was surprised in two ways at the stranger. Firstly, he didn’t have a single scratch on his body at all. Secondly, he was clearly a vampire. His inhuman characteristics were as spectacular as every other vampire she had seen. The outline of his lower jaw was prominent, his face seemed to sparkle in the moonlight, and he was very well built. He was wearing a white T-shirt that was slightly tight, showing off his muscular body. Eva’s eyes widened.
“Hello, human. My name is Ivan,” he said. His voice was low and dark. Eva only glared at him.
“I am so terribly sorry to have to do this to you,” he murmured. Then, slowly, things started coming together in Eva’s mind. She casually glanced at the front of the car.
“Don’t hurt that human head of yours thinking too hard,” he stated. “It’s really not that complicated to understand what I’m doing.” Then Eva saw what she had been searching for. The outline of an outstretched body was implanted into the front of the convertible.
“Why were you trying to stop the car?” she mumbled, still filled with terror. He had obviously stopped the car and carelessly tossed it to the side, sending it spinning into the ditch but she didn’t know why. “And whose blood is that?” She pointed to the bloody gravels as she spoke.
“You are one curious human.” He smiled. “Those three humans are lying dead in the woods behind you. I’m actually quite surprised that his family,” he looked at Dorian, “hasn’t arrived yet. I sent my accomplice, Sarah, off to confuse them and drive them in the opposite direction, but apparently your little vampire here wasn’t fooled.” Ivan spoke again before Eva could ask her second question again. “And that is the humans’ blood. That is what was wasted when me and Sarah were,” he grimaced, “…arguing on whose was whose.” He smiled, flashing his razor-sharp teeth at her. “And of course I won.”
Ivan took a few steps forward, closing more distance between them.
“You humans are so very interesting,” he hummed, taking another step forward. He reached out and ran his hand over her lips and chin elegantly.
“Go away,” Eva gritted through her clenched teeth.
Ivan never changed his expression as he stepped away and went over to Dorian’s living corpse. He bent over to smell the blood streaming from his head.
“Leave him alone,” Eva warned.
“He is definitely going to be unconscious for a while,” he uttered, staring at him still. His hungry eyes seemed to bore holes into Dorian’s skull. “But I promised that I would control myself.” He spoke so quietly that Eva wondered if he was speaking to her or not. “I really am sorry.” He scooped Dorian up and threw him across his back. “But I have orders.” And then Ivan ran like a thunderbolt into the forest with Dorian, leaving Eva speechless and confused.Comments
