SCARLETT (Kiss From The Darkness)
Chapter 19
Damon and I got back in the car. We drove to my house. Arriving at home I was greeted by Leda and Erick. I explained to them about our plan.
"Scarlett, is Roland a member of the vampire hunter clan?" He asked in a worried tone.
"Yes." Yeah." I answered briefly.
"You must keep your distance from him!" his words remind me.
"He won't hurt me." I tried to calm him down.
"Omong empty! Don't pretend to forget that he once tied us both up with silver chains in his house." This time Erick walked over to me.
"Trust me. He won't hurt me." I convinced them both.
"I won't let anyone hurt Scarlett." Damon walked up and stood right beside me while wrapping his arm around my shoulder.
"You have to take care of her." Leda said that to Damon. It seemed like the hatred between the two of them was starting to fade.
"Why did the Dark God come here?" Erick asked in a curious tone.
"Because I'm the oldest vampire here. That's why he came looking for me." I explained to her.
"What if we don't catch the troublemaker tonight?" Erick asked again.
"Think positive, son." Damon patted his shoulder.
"Stop calling me that!" Erick snorted towards Damon.
The three of us laughed to see Erick put on an irritated face. We decided to enjoy the rest of the day by relaxing. Later that night we have to carry out an important mission. If this mission succeeds, then what will I do next? Will my love story with Roland continue? I hope fate will take my side.
......................
Arriving there, I saw Roland and a man whose age was not much different from him were walking towards us. Roland had agreed to keep our real identities a secret to his friend. He introduced himself as Robert. He looks friendly and jolly. So he is Roland's friend who is a policeman and also one of the vampire hunter clan members. Roland introduced us to Robert.
We agreed to move immediately. Robert seemed neither afraid nor worried in the slightest. Maybe for him this looks like a hide-and-seek game instead of a mission to hunt down a troublemaker vampire. We moved towards a narrow and dimly lit alley in the fringe area. These few days attacks have always occurred in quiet and dark places like the alleys we are currently watching.
Me, Damon, Erick and Leda chose to keep an eye out of the hidden place. Only Robert was exposed because it was designed to lure the troublemaker vampire. Roland was near Robert to protect him. Roland was ready with his gun containing a bullet made of silver. He's been on standby in the same alley as Robert. On her waist was a silver dagger she had taken from the drawer where I saw her earlier this afternoon.
Me, Damon, Erick and Leda chose to hide beside the alley on the left from Robet and Roland's place. We wait for the night to get late and hope that bastard shows up soon. It's almost midnight and there's still no sign of the vampire. I'm starting to get impatient. Did the vampire play us on purpose? Could it be that he really knows our movements?
I look around. There are no suspicious things. I saw Robert injure his outer arm with Roland's dagger. He did it to lure the vampire. The scent of blood filled the air coming from the wound on his arm. I gulped down withstanding the desire for blood that smelled strong in the air. I looked towards Erick and Damon who were also trying to hold back as hard as possible so as not to go mad because of the scent.
A few seconds later someone flew off the roof of a building and headed straight for Robert. Roland immediately fired a bullet towards the vampire. The bullet hit the vampire's right arm. The vampire turned around and moved towards Roland with a quick movement. I flew towards him at high speed. Roland can't be hurt anymore! I hit the vampire and we both slammed to the ground. He fell face down on the ground and I held him with my body. He moved with great force and threw me aside. The vampire walked towards me. His face was covered in shadows.
"It's nice to meet you, nephew." He grinned towards me.
That voice! I stood up and saw the face I hated the most in the world. No way! I'm glaring. I was so shocked as if the world stopped revolving around me. No no! This must be a mistake! I used to see Victor burned during the vampire mass arson that night.
"You're dead" I whispered in disbelief.
He grinned at me and walked up to me. I stepped back. I heard Damon, Erick and Leda coming at me but Victor was no match for them. Victor moved so quickly ambushed me. He put his hand around my neck so tightly that I was in pain. I saw Roland point his gun at Victor.
"Save your gun, son!" He told Roland.
Damon moved forward but Victor threatened him by strangling my neck.
"If anyone dares to move, I will break the neck of this beauty!" Victor threatened and grabbed my neck so tightly.
I saw them quiet in a place with a tense body. I felt Victor turn into smoke and disappear with me. I disappeared with him.
