Death Too Soon (The Vampire Awakening) Page 3

  As she cut the glass window, the noise made Thomas look up to see her holding the circular piece of glass she’d cut and slid through the hole. She landed gently on the floor and Thomas looked at her in relief. Before she was settled on the ground, Thomas looked behind her and saw the door fly open and two Reigns went into the room.

  “Behind you!!!!!!” he shouted.

  Ariel looked back and threw the glass she held in her hands at the vampires slicing their throats and their heads fell to the floor and the glass splattered on the floor making noise. In a supernatural speed, she headed to Thomas’s side and cut the ropes that tied his hands and feet.

  Thomas stepped on the floor and before they could make a step further, they were surrounded by around ten Reigns.

  “Stay behind me” she said as she went in front of Thomas.

  “So courageous I see” came a voice from the door as the Reigns gave way so Caleb went and stood in front of Ariel.

  “Caleb?” Ariel uttered in shock.

  Caleb’s eyes lit up in surprise when he saw Ariel.

  “What are you doing here Ariel?” he asked.

  “You are Danton’s son?” Ariel asked ignoring his question.

  “Please don’t tell me you’re with these filthy humans and the stupid vampires who killed my father” he said as he moved close to Ariel so their faces were a few inches from each other.

  “I promised to avenge his death and no one is going to stop me, not even you Ariel” he said between gritted teeth.

  Chapter 4

  Caleb and Ariel had a history. They’d met when his father Danton had gone to their home in the Himalayas to convince her parents to join the Reigns. He wanted to get their support in completing the ritual of five rings which would help him get all the supernatural powers and they would in turn over rule the mortals and other immortals.

  Ariel’s parents declined his proposal and Danton left with such furry. Caleb had told her that Danton was his master and she wondered why he’d lied about him being his father. They’d spent time together in the beautiful gardens of her home as Danton and her parents spoke and discussed about the rings for 3 days.

  She knew Caleb liked her and before they left, Caleb snuck into her room and kissed her. She was taken aback by his action and before she could speak, Caleb was out of the window and joined Danton when he left unpleased by the outcome of their visit.

  That was about three years back and she couldn’t believe she’d be looking at him again, in defense of a mortal.

  “Why didn’t you tell me Danton was your father?” she asked.

  “And what difference would it make Ariel?” he asked as he looked at her straight in the eyes.

  “They killed my father, and there’s no way, he is leaving this castle alive” he countered as he looked at Thomas, his eyes flickering in anger.

  “You for sure do not agree with what your father wanted to do, kill all mortals and steal power from the rings do you?” she asked as she searched his face to find the sweet Caleb she saw in those three days they’d spent together.

  “All I want right now, is to avenge my father’s death” he said as he moved closer to her, their noses almost touching.

  “Come on Caleb, please let him go, he had nothing to do with your father’s death” she begged.

  “He’s the only leverage I have to bring the killers to me” he answered in a gruff voice.

  “If you want to hurt him, then you’re going to have to go through me” she said as she looked into his eyes, fire flickering in her eyes.

  “Are you fucking kidding me?” Caleb said as he burst out laughing.

  “You are challenging me?” he continued, his face changing to become serious and angered.

  “If I have to challenge you to protect him then I will Caleb, please do not do this” she begged.

  Before Caleb could answer, the windows blew open and glass flew to the floor as Marcus, Nessa and Trina jumped through them and settled on the floor. Connor, Jack and the solders had turned into Araneas and were fighting other vampires on the corridors.

  “Thomas are you ok” Nessa shouted, her eyes red and her fangs out.

  Thomas had never seen her that outraged, her nails had shot out and her skin was almost white. She looked so angry and he pitied anyone who’d cross her.

  “I see, girlfriend has come to rescue his pathetic human boyfriend” Caleb said in disgust.

  “I was wondering what took you so long” he continued.

  “Caleb please don’t do this” Ariel begged.

  Everyone looked at Ariel in surprise. She spoke as if she knew him.

  “Please do not do this, I beg you” she continued as she went to Caleb’s side and took his hand.

  Caleb looked into her eyes and saw her eyes looking at him in remorse.

  “I’m sorry Ariel, but we just have to agree to disagree on this” he said.

  In a split second, Caleb moved past her and held Thomas by the throat, lifting him inches from the floor as he opened his mouth to bite him.

  Ariel slid on the floor and hit his feet before his fangs touched Thomas’s neck and he fell on top of her. The other vampires jumped up to charge at the group when they saw their master on the floor. Caleb howled in anger as he held Ariel by the neck on the floor, his eyes burning with anger.

  He looked down at her and loosened his grip on her neck, he couldn’t harm her. She had been the only girl he loved. Although they’d been together for a short period, he’d never forgotten her beautiful face, how her blonde hair flew to her waist. How her beautiful eyes warmed his heart and her lips so beautiful and sweet.

  He hit the floor with his fist on the ground next to her face and it went through the bricks, cracking the floor in the process.

  “Stay out of my way Ariel, I don’t want to hurt you” he said, a familiar compassion engulfing his face.

  He rose up from the floor and scanned the room, it was a battle field and his followers streaked into the room to fight the intruders. All he wanted was to kill the human, he knew that was the only way he’d hurt Nessa and the rest of the group.

  Araneas jumped into the room from the broken window and they spat liquid silver killing the Reigns on the spot. Caleb knew they were getting over powered and he saw Thomas crawl up in a corner. He started charging towards him and when he was inches from him, he was blocked by Nessa who cut through him throwing him in the air and he landed on the floor with a thud.

  Nessa was so angry and looking at Caleb she wanted to rip his head off. She charged towards him and jumped on top of him. They rolled of the floor holding each other’s necks leaving it for the strongest vampire to win. Nessa rolled on top of him and dipped her thumb inside his eyes having him loosen his grip on her neck.

  In supernatural speed, she held him by the neck and forced him on his knees as he held his head ready to rip it off.

  “Nessa please don’t kill him” Ariel yelled as she rushed to her side.

  Nessa breathed heavily as she looked at Ariel, her eyes a burning red and her fangs so long they’d pricked her chin.

  “Please don’t, I beg you” Ariel continued as she went to her side and held her shoulders.

  “Everyone back up” Nessa yelled.

  “Back the fuck up or I rip his head right off” she continued.

  The other Reigns stood back and looked at their master in shock.

  “We are getting out of here and none of you is following us, you hear me you mother fuckers?” she lashed with burning eyes.

  “I will kill him I swear” she said as she turned his neck.

  The other Reigns back off and they were soon in the forest. Marcus tied Caleb’s hands and held him captive back to the Araneas camp.

  Chapter 5

  It was dawn and the sun was about to come up when they got to camp. The remaining Aranea solders were still in guard of their camp when they got to the compound. They let everyone out of the tunnels and threw Caleb inside.

  “You know Ca
leb Ariel?” Connor asked as they stood in front of the tunnel door.

  “Yes, I met him a while back when his father came to ask my parents to join forces” she answered as she looked at Jack to see his reaction.

  “Are you going to kill him?” she asked.

  “We’ll see what to do later, now we have to keep guard of this territory, the other Reigns have to be making plans to rescue him” Connor said as he looked at Ryan and ordered him to take charge of the patrols.

  When the rest of the group went to their rooms, Ariel went inside the tunnel and found Caleb curled up in a corner.

  “I brought you some water” she said as she went and knelt beside him.

  “You have got to be kidding me Ariel, water, for a vampire?, how about you exchange that for a glass of blood, that would surely quench my thirst” he said as he looked up and faced her

  Her face as beautiful as he could remember.

  “Thank you for saving me back there” he said as he turned so Ariel could remove the rope that had tied him.

  He massaged the area that had pressed his skin and looked into Ariel’s face.

  “You look just as beautiful as the last time I saw you” he said.

  “Why didn’t you tell me Danton was your father?” she asked.

  “I didn’t want you to think of me as a ruthless monster Ariel, because I didn’t agree with what he wanted” he answered.

  “I just didn’t want you to hate me” he continued.

  “I’ve thought of you every single day Ariel and I couldn’t believe it when I saw you” he continued as he reached over and touched her face.

  He massaged her bottom lip with his thumb and Ariel didn’t budge. When she saw him the feelings she’d felt came streaking back to her. She’d wanted to tell him how much she’d cared for him that last day at their home but he ran out so fast before she could say anything.

  Her feelings confused her, she didn’t understand why she felt jealous when she saw Jack with Trina and now, she couldn’t help but feel drawn to Caleb. The familiar feeling came over her and she stroke his face.

  “Why did you leave me so fast Caleb, you didn’t even give me a chance to talk about the kiss” she continued as she looked into his eyes.

  “This kiss?” Caleb said as he pulled her close to him and kissed her passionately. He ran his hands through her hair and in supernatural speed, rose up and carried her to a wall in the tunnel. He kissed her passionately and Ariel pulled her arms around him.

  He ran his hands down to her waist and pulled her to him. The more he kissed her the more she hungered for him. She dipped her tongue in his mouth and he sucked it passionately. He ran his hands up on her gown’s back and pulled down the zipper.

  He pulled off her dress and it fell on the floor. Her body beautiful like nothing he’d ever seen. He cupped her breasts in his hands and squeezed them. Ariel moaned in pleasure as she pushed him in super natural speed on the carpeted floor.

  She took his clothes off and went on top of him. Caleb rolled her over and stroke her clit as he devoured her nipples. He couldn’t believe the turn of events. He’d thought of her every single day for the last three years and finally she was there with him. He stroke her cunt with the tip of his hard dick and she moaned, her long hair flowing behind her on the floor.

  He entered her gently as he looked into her eyes, seeing her beautiful eyes searching him. He thrust inside her again and again and his fangs shot out, he kissed her neck and cupped her tits as he entered her. He made one long thrust and they climaxed together, moaning in unison.

  As they laid on the floor, in each other’s arms, Caleb stroke her hair and lifted her head so he was looking into her eyes.

  “I loved your kiss that day” Ariel confessed as she strokes his face.

  “I thought of you too” she continued.

  Before Caleb could respond, their attention was distracted by the squeaking sound of the tunnel door being opened. Ariel rushed to her feet and hurriedly put on her clothes. Caleb put his on and Marcus walked in time to find them zipping up, the shock in his face expressing everything.

  “The Reigns are here he said avoiding to make the scenario more awkward”

  In a split second, Caleb rushed to her side and kissed her lips, not caring that Marcus saw them.

  “I’m sorry Ariel but I have to do this” he said before he ran past Marcus and out of the tunnel.

  Ariel ran after him and when she got outside the tunnel, she saw one vampire jumping on top of a woman. Thomas rushed to her aid and the vampire turned on him, hitting him hard on the face and he fell unconscious.

  The Reign picked him up and started running into the forest. Caleb looked across the ground and saw Ariel looking at him. He ran after the Reign that had taken Thomas and Ariel knew Caleb would kill him.

  In supernatural speed she ran after them and saw Caleb pick Thomas from the other vampire’s shoulders.

  “Please stop Caleb” she yelled.

  The other vampire ran off and Caleb turned and continued to run with Thomas on his shoulders. Ariel ran in pursuit and as she ran, she held her breathe in shock at the site she saw. Caleb hung on a cliff holding Thomas by the wrist.

  “Hold on Caleb” she said as she laid on the ground and stretched her hand out for Caleb.

  She reached for his hands and pulled him up. They were so heavy but with her supernatural powers, she was able to pull them up. Thomas regained consciousness in time as they pulled him up.

  In a split second, Ariel felt the ground below them get loose. She pushed Thomas and Caleb onto hard ground as she fell down the cliff and hit her head on rocks that were at the bottom on the cliff.

  “No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Caleb shouted as he looked down to see Ariel’s body at the bottom of the cliff.

  Thomas couldn’t believe what had just happened as he knelt down beside Caleb and looked down at Ariel’s lifeless body.

  Marcus, Jack, Nessa, Trina and Connor appeared from the forest to find them dumbfounded. When Jack rushed to the cliffs edge and saw Ariel’s lifeless body, he jumped on Caleb and lifted him from the ground by the neck. Thomas rushed to his side and pushed him to the ground.

  Caleb rose to the ground and ran away in fear and shock of what had just transpired.

  “I will kill you” Jack yelled out as Connor and Marcus held him so he couldn’t go after Caleb.

  Connor headed down the cliff and took Ariel’s lifeless body into his hands and carried her back to the camp.

  “I will kill him myself” Jack said with remorse as they buried Ariel’s body in an altar at her home three days later.

  “The Reigns had better prepare for the worst war they’ve ever experienced in their era” Seamus, Ariel’s father said between gritted teeth.
