Vampiress by Destiny B. Rose (epub e reader .TXT) 📖

for maybe 15 minutes, but then we have to start moving again." "What? Why?" She looked at Ashton with a sense of authority. "Fine. Okay. 15 minutes." He said.

It wasn't too long before they heard the howls again. 'Maybe Moon is alright and she's fighting it again.' Rose thought. But, those thoughts faded away as they realized the sound was getting closer. "GO!" Rose screamed. She grabbed Ashton's hand and pulled him towards the opposite side of the house. Rose peered around the side. She saw where it was coming from. "On the count of three you run." Rose told Ashton. "What? What about you!? You can't take on that thing it'll rip you to pieces!" "ON. THREE." She said sternly. "But, Rose." "ONE!" She heard the trees breaking from the humongous beasts clawed feet. "TWO!" Ashton looked at her like she was crazy, then she saw it.. It busted through the trees as if it took no effort at all! "THREE!" She pushed Ashton out of her way and ran around the house in full site of the Lycan. "You want me!? Come and get me!" She darted to the East side of the clearing while, she was hoping, Ashton was running towards the South. But, did she really want him to leave her alone? She did tell him to, after all.

There was no time to talk to herself. When she got to the edge of the clearing, she spun around and saw it. It was atleast 10 feet tall and maybe 13 or 14 feet wide. She thought about what Moon told her, but she couldn't consentrate. Then, a backpack flew out of the woods and landed beside her. Carefully, she unzipped the backpack and saw the contents: Two of the guns Moon had used, a black outfit, and some knives. She wondered why on earth there was a black leather outfit when she knew she had no time whatsoever to pull it on. Then, something else was thrown. A necklace? She picked it up and it started to glow. "Throw it in the backpack!" She heard someone's voice, but she didn't dare disobey. She threw it in the backpack and a huge light beamed across the entire clearing, rowling up the monster. She looked down and all that was in the backpack was the necklace. "Pick it up and put it on!" Again, she didn't dare disobey. As she did the voice said, "Now say these words, Kyūketsuki ga jōshō shite iru! Hurry!" "Kyūketsuki ga jōshō shite iru!" Rose screamed. All of a sudden the beam of light came back and she looked down, she was wearing the black outfit, and from her perpective, there were pockets holding all of the weapons she needed. There was one knife in her boot, two on her waist, and one on the side of her knee, then the two guns were placed in holsters by her side. 'Eh, what the heck.' She thought.

Rose ran at the monster with a pace she had never met before, she jumped and flipped onto the beasts head. As she pulled out one of her knives, she was almost flung off! She stabbed it in the side of the neck and fell sideways, still holding onto the knife. As she hung there, she got another and stabbed it between the shoulder blades and pulled, lifting herself up. Suddenly an arrow hit Roses arm and she fell off the monster, to the ground. When she hit the ground a great pain swelled up inside her. She needed Moon. So, where the heck was she?!

Before the Lycan could attack she rolled over to her side and snapped the arrow. She cried out in pain, but eventually got both sides out of her arm. She bounded to her feet and pulled out one of the guns. She shot the beast as many times in the head and neck as she could. Thank goodness she had good aim. Before she could reload, Rose got smacked into a tree on the Northern side of the clearing. She pulled out a knife and flung it towards the monster, praying it would atleast hit the neck. But, in her luck, she hit the Lycan square between the eyes and it fell, dead.

Before she could get up another arrow came flying towards her. To her surprise, she caught it, before it was within 2 inches of her face. "Rose! Look out!" She looked up and saw Ashton behind a man with a bow and arrow pointed at her. Before she could react, he turned toward Ashton and let an arrow lose. "NO!" Rose screamed. She ran at the mysterious man with all her might and let another knife go into him. But, it only hit his leg. He chuckled. "Do you really think, A mere knife can injure me?" Rose looked behind the man and saw Ashton, the arrow only got his leg and he was fully consious. "What do you want? Did you sick that thing on me?" Rose demanded an answer. "Did you!?" "No." He said calmly, "I simply gave it your scent so I could find you." He smiled evily. "And WHY would you want to find ME?" She asked. "Because of what you are, my dear." He answered. "What do you mean?" "I mean, what KIND you are." He chuckled again, "Hello, my Vampiress."

Chapter 9: Secrets

"What?" Ashton said wincing from the pain in his leg. "I said, your little girlfriend is a Vampire. A mythical monster who drinks blood and eats flesh for a living. Your case, however, is special." "HOW?" She scoffed. "Why, my dear. You weren't CHANGED into a Vampire. You were BORN one. Yes, your parents might be human, but what of your grandparents?" the mysterious man spat back. "I've never met them." Rose answered. He chuckled that annoying, evil, laugh. 'You will not make my life this way.' Rose thought to herself. She reached for her gun and pointed it, straight at his head. "What? You're going to shoot me with a dart?" He laughed. "What dart?" She smiled and shot the gun. The bullet when straight through his head and into the wall of the break house behind him. "You really think a little arrow could injure me?" She taunted towards his dead body.

She turned and saw Ashton staring at her. "Ashton, I wanted to tell you.." She said as she saw the hurt in his eyes. "But you didn't." He said, now apparently angry with her. "And what was I supposed to say exactly, hm? 'Hi, Ashton. I'm sorry, I can't go on our date this weekend because I might lose control and accidentally eat you alive!?'" Ashton looked down at his injured leg. "I'm sorry.." Rose said. She helped ashton up and started walking when she heard clapping. She looked up and saw Moon. "Bravo." She said. Rose then realized who had helped her. "You were the voice I heard in the woods! You told me how to.." Rose looked up and saw her smiling. "How do I get out of this junk?" Rose asked her. Moon giggled. "Say: 'Kyūketsuki ga futatabi kuru'. It is ancient japanese for, 'The Vampire will come again.' And the first saying, Kyūketsuki ga jōshō shite iru, means, 'The Vampire has risen.'" Rose repeated, "Kyūketsuki ga futatabi kuru." Almost instantly she was in her regular clothes again, with no weapons, and the necklace hanging from her neck. "What is this thing?" Rose asked, examining the priceless blue, diamond encrusted jewel. "It is a nekkuresu. It harnesses any object you would like it to, and puts it on you when you would like it to. In this case, I gave you a comfortable leather suit, knives, two guns, and a few grenades. The necklace harnessed all of these objects into matter which it could contain until you needed it." Moon explained. "Grenades? I didn't see any grenades." Rose said. "That's because they were in the front pocket of the back pack and on your belt in the back of your outfit." Moon said, quite pleased with herself.


"Can we just get Ashton to a hospital, please? He's hurt." Rose told her. "I see." Moon replied. She leaned down and snapped the arrow out of Ashton's leg just as Rose had done from her arm, which made him flinch, and grit his teeth. Moon then got a piece of cloth from her back pocket, put some liquid from a vial on it, then tied it to Ashton's leg. "What was that stuff?" Rose asked her. "Healing potion. He should be fine in about an hour." Moon answered. She then smiled and walked away. Rose sat Ashton down next to a wall and supported his leg in her lap. He smiled at her and asked, "Why did you think I'd freak out if you told me you were a Vampire?" She looked down. 'Why did you tell me you couldn't be with me' She decided against saying that aloud and said, "Because I'm 'A mythical monster who drinks blood and eats flesh for a living.'" Rose replied, mocking the mysterious man who tried to kill her. "Well, I don't think you are." Ashton said taking her hand. They both looked at each other and smiled. How she longed for him. And, without thinking, she leaned over and kissed him on the cheek.

Back at her house, Rose started making dinner for her parents and her now welcome house guest, Moon. 'Apparently Moon had talked her parents into letting her stay until I was fully trained. Which I guess that meant now they know what I am. Which would explain why they won't talk to me much anymore.' She thought. After that day in the woods Rose and Ashton were now officially boyfriend/girlfriend and she liked the sound of calling him her boyfriend, for she smiled at the thought.

Rose was pouring the batter for the dessert cake when the doorbell rang. She quickly set the bowl down and rushed towards the door. When she opened it she got a sickening feeling in her stomach. The kind you get when you have a stomach virus, or when you've seen something absoloutley disgusting. There, at her doorstep, standing in front of her, was Scott.

"Scott?" Rose exclaimed. "Yeah, sorry for
