Chapter 334 - Three Hundred And Thirty-four: He Was Not A Bad Monster
Chapter 334 - Three Hundred And Thirty-four: He Was Not A Bad Monster
"Hey, slow down," a deep chuckle sounded close to her ears causing her to stiffen up.
Sophia glanced up at the figure she had bumped into, still shivering from the impact of what she just experienced in that room. Ashton was a monster! She knew it, she had sensed it but she had not enough evidence to confirm it until now.
She was highly relieved when she ran into Isaac. The girl was so scared she needed someone to hold her and assure her that all she just saw was a dream or a fiction of her imagination.
"Sophia," Isaac let go of his grasp he had used to steady her from knocking into him.
"I-I need to go, where is the way?" The tears were threatening to fall down her face and she didn't want Isaac to see her in this vulnerable state.
"Is there something wrong?" Isaac asked, his sight suddenly falling on that bleeding spot on her neck.
Sophia might not be psychic but the sudden long deep inhale from Isaac with his euphoric-filled face told her something was not right - he looked like someone high on drugs. It was at that moment that Hailey's warning came into her mind, "Stay away from Isaac,"
Her eyes suddenly widened, could it be that Issac was among them too? Oh my God! She panicked inwardly yet put on an outward brave front.
"I..eh think I need to go, Isaac," she said hastily and began to stride away, forgetting she was asking Isaac about the direction a while ago.
She was lost - Sophia was sure of it. She didn't know anywhere in this vast wood yet she kept pressing forward, she had to leave this godforsaken place!
The moon was high in the sky illuminating her path hence she didn't need the torchlight from her phone which only had one bar of network - wonderful! She can't even place a call!
The piercing howl of wolves rippled the quiet night, reminding Sophia she had stupidly made herself a prey. The chirping sound of insects and the croaking of frogs heightened the creepiness surrounding this wood, fear seeped into her skin and she shivered, rubbing her hand up and down her arm.
With her heart in her mouth, Sophia was just about to take a step when a chilly wind wheezed past her and the instant she glanced up, behold, Issac was standing before her with a sadistic smirk that made shivers run down her spine.
Sophia swallowed down a large gulp, there was no speculation this time - Isaac was one of them. He took a forward leisure step, she stepped back.
"You do know the chase is fun but it's pretty boring with your scent all over the wood and your little heartbeat reverberating like music in my head," He chuckled "It must be nice being human,"
Sophia was not deceived by that dramatic speech, she was in danger and had no idea how to escape.
"But then," Isaac continued, a slightly intoxicated glint in his eyes, " I would never give up all this power for a taste of your pathetic short-lived mortality,"
With that being said, Issac lunged at her but Sophia was quick to take to her heels. An annoyed snarl left Isaac's lips yet his body throbbed with the thrill of the chase.
"You can run, Sophia!" Isaac shouted with a peal of mocking laughter, "But let's see how long that fragile body is going to hold up,"
Sophia ignored his maniacal cackle and kept running back to where she came from - she had to return to the house. She had a feeling someone there was stronger than Isacc and could save her. Or maybe she was running into bigger trouble? She didn't care - she had to try at least.
Prior to Isaac's word, She didn't run for long before her lungs began to burn, not to mention her legs were currently too weak to carry her. With the amount of distance she's covered in the last thirty minutes, Sophia deserved a medal.
She leaned against a tree, trying to catch her breath. The girl felt like she would have a heart attack if she dared make another step. It was at that moment of rest that she looked up to see the devil himself grinning at her with an "I told you" smug expression.
"Oh no," Sophia breathed, heart hammering against her chest. This was a game and he has the upper hand, but she still couldn't give up - she had to fight for her life. She turned the other side, staggering away and using the trees she could find for support. Every muscle in her body was screaming for rest.
"It has been fun but it's not good to let the meal run cold," Isaac said and before Sophia could take another step, reached out and grabbed her against his chest.
"Do you know what is like to taste untainted blood?" he hissed out, holding her so tight he was almost crushing her, " I've been craving your blood for a while now but that annoying freak Ashton and his siblings kept getting in my way. Just because they don't feed on human blood, they don't understand the feeding frenzy fresh blood causes,"
Sophia didn't know whether to be shocked that Isaac was a vampire or that Ashton and his siblings were not normal bloodsuckers. However, she was still relieved by that revelation - he was not a bad monster after all.
"But now.... " a creepy smile tilted his lips, " I have you where I want you and nobody can stop me this time,"
Then she saw it, the way his face distorted as two large fangs descended from his gum with his iris adapting a red ring. Veins sprouted from his neck and face and he tilted her neck to the side, baring her pale blemish-free skin to him.
Sophia struggled but her meager strength was nothing compared to a vampire's. Immediately, he slammed his fangs into the delicate skin of her neck.
She gasped as the fangs penetrated her throat, the pain made her whimper. The girl held onto him, her nails digging into his shoulder painfully but the vampire wasn't even affected by it - he was saturated in the sweet taste of her blood.
All Sophia heard was the sound of her punctured flesh as Isaac rapaciously fed on her. Her legs felt weak and gave out but he held onto her, still feeding with no care for her wellbeing.
Issac couldn't stop feeding. Also, if she died, this was the wood and her death would be covered up by the council as an animal attack. No matter what, supernaturals were still the greater and better creature - the only problem was that humans were numerous and reproduced quickly.
Black dots clouded her vision, her body slowly giving up. So this was how she died? In the hands of a savage vampire all because she attended a high school party? Quite funny. Goodbye, mom and dad.
Sophia closed her eyes just as Isaac was about to suck the last of her lifeblood. Unfortunately, he was crudely ripped from her making her collapse to the dirt with no support. The last thing she caught in her line of vision as she lay down on the ground like a rag doll, was the sight of a huge ferocious-looking wolf tackling Isaac and tearing him from limb to limb brutally.
Her eyes closed.
"I got the girl!" Hazel notified her sister, coming to crouch beside Sophia.
"Is she still alive," Hailey asked, ignoring the tortured scream of Isaac as Ashton took the rest of his miserable life.
Even if she wanted to help him, Hailey was afraid that with that fire-blooded rage coursing through Ashton's vein right now, he wouldn't hesitate to end her too. And she wasn't confident to beat him with that amount of fury fueling him - Issac was the unfortunate one to have touched his mate.
"I can sense a faint pulse but she's lost so much blood. I'm afraid we might lose her if she doesn't get a transfusion right now" Hazel shuddered upon thinking of Sophia dying.
No doubt, Ashton would surely go feral and they might have to put him down so he doesn't hurt others - which was her greatest fear. They might share different fathers but Ashton was her twin as much as Hailey was her twin too. She couldn't lose him.
"I don't think she can wait that long, she needs a transfusion now!"
"Well, don't look at me that way. There are no humans around nor do I know her blood type. Moreover, though our blood has healing property, there's no guarantee there wouldn't be a side effect of feeding her such," Hailey pointed out
"Well, side effect or not, I'm not letting her die on my watch," Hazel began to pull down her sleeve, intending to bite down on her wrist when a vicious growl came from behind. She understood that warning loud and clear, Ashton was notifying her to get lost.
They watched as his bones began to crack and pop, reforming Ashton to his human feature, stark naked as the day he was born. But the siblings weren't bothered, immodesty was not a sensitive topic in a werewolf community.
Covered with the vampire's blood and dirtied with earth, Ashton looked hideous yet he still clawed open his palm and squeezed out the flowing blood into her mouth.
"What is it?" Hazel asked, upon seeing her sister's nose twitch as she sniffed the air.
"Mom is here," She added, specifically at Ashton, "And your father too,"
