Chapter 165

Chapter 0165

I was searching for an escape from the madness, when my eyes locked with hers. Sebastian had her up against the wall, feeding on her while he pounded into her. We stared at each other, holding onto the others‘ gaze like a lifeline. As she looked at me, she silently said, “I’m here.” My heart fluttered and I returned her words with my own silent words, “You’re not alone.”

It became our nightly routine. We’d lock eyes and when our vampires were busy, we’d mouth those words to each other. I think that may have been the only thing that kept me alive, kept me going. Especially once I could no longer hear Alessia. I felt so alone until that moment.

“Guardian.” Prince Keenan purrs in his vulgar way. “I require more blood

tonight, take off your top.” While the prince did not ever rape me, and he did not let any of the other vampires touch me, he did find repulsive ways to make his feeding sexual. Tonight would be no different. He had an insatiable appetite, some nights taking three or more humans, usually killing all of them as he fed.

I do as he asks, removing the ridiculous excuse of a top. It barely covers me and is see through. When I take it off, he grabs me, pulling me to him, sinking his fangs into my breast so that his foul tongue can lick my nipple while he feeds. He grabs another female and forces himself inside her mouth. I know how this will go. I saw it the first night I was here. And it’s something he seems to get off on.. Strangling a woman by suffocating her during his orgasm. When his eyes close in his lust, I look for my friend, my only lifeline in this hellhol

I find her, her eyes had already found me. We mouth our words back and forth to each other. Our eyes locked on each other, our only sanity.

Just as the prince is about to finish, there is a loud bang at the front of the castle. The doors fly open and gas canisters are thrown into the room.

The vampires are immediately up and running to counteract the intrusion. Wooden darts and bullets go flying across the room. Vampires start dropping, aging and turning to dust in front of my face. I’m too shocked to move. I stay where I am waiting for death to come. I’m surprised when someone throws a jacket over my shoulders. “You’re okay now. We’re here to rescue you. You can come with me. You’re safe.”

The man says this even though there is still screaming all around the room. I see others gathering up the humans and helping to get them out, the vampires running, trying to escape the bullets that are still whizzing around the room.

I’m taken outside and it’s the first time I’ve been outside in all the years I’ve been here. I was able to open the window in my room, but it had silver bars and I wasn’t able to escape. Tears well up in my eyes, as I realize that I’ve been released from my hellish prison. The man that has escorted me out of the building helps me into a truck. I’m given some oxygen and laid on a stretcher.” The medics will be here to check on you in a minute. Just stay here, you are safe now.”

“Wait.” I say, wanting to know who these people are that have saved me. “Who are you?”

He smiles kindly at me. “We’re from a guild of hunters. We hunt the supernatural and kill them. You don’t have to worry, we’re very good at what we do.” He pats my hand before stepping out of the truck.

Hunters? I’ve gone from one hell to another. If they find out what I am, they will kill me, or worse, imprison me and keep me as their lab rat. I need to get out of here.

I go to stand and see another person on a stretcher next to me. She reaches out her hand and clasps mine. She pulls her oxygen mask away from her face. It’s my friend. “Go, I don’t know what you are, but I know you’re not human. I’ll cover for you. Go.”
