Marina the Vampire by Catherine Burton (essential reading TXT) 📖

my cheek; I am as clean with the kill as I can be.
“So are you two vampires?” Zame asks.
“Yes we are why, is that hard to believe?”I reply.
He smiles and asks, “Are you from the under part of the city?” I don’t know what he means. The more time it takes me to answer the longer he smiles.
“We are from out of town visiting an old friend,” Erin says.
He asks still smiling at us, “Then would you like me to get you two to his or her house?”
“Well she lives out in the woods but, we would love it if you could show us around the under city,” Erin replies.
Zame says, “Sure I would love to show it to you two but I would like to speak to Fran in private for a minute if you don’t mind.”
I ask, “Tina could you give us some privacy?” Erin nods her head then walks away. I turn around to see Zane but he puts a bag over my head to cut off my breathing. I pass out.

Chapter 4

When I wake I am in a large cage like thing with a little stall where the toilet is. The cot that I am lying on is hard. My ankle is chained to the wall and I suppose that it only goes the distance of the cage. I try to remove it but I am too weak. They must have poisoned me so that I can’t escape. Only when I sit up I notice that I am on the top bunk which means that someone is below me. I look down and see a girl praying. They must have put her there for my snack, but she probably has poison in her. I whisper quietly, “Hello, what’s your name?” She shudders when I talk.
“Hi, my name is Lauren. What’s your name miss?” She is so polite to me.
“My name is Fran, nice to meet you. How long have you been here?” I ask so I know if she just got here or has been here for days.
“I got here a day ago. So far I have just been in here. I am so bored.” Lauren says. She seams alright, she probably needed someone to talk to.
Outside the cage two men are talking about me and they seem to like the way I am dressed. “The new girl is hot. She looks like a striper or something to me.” Guard one says.
“Ya when you go in I bet she will give you a lap dance and want to have sex with you.” Guard two remarks. They laugh together for about a minute.
Then Guard one says, “Hello, Zame, we were just talking about our new prisoner. She is hot. How did you even get that close to that chick to catch her?”
Zame replies, “The Queen is ready to see her so could you two go get her. Be careful she is very powerful. Use zeofite on her so that she is weakened, alright.”
Then Guard one and two reply at the same time, “Yes, sir.” The two are coming for me. They stop on the way to get supplies they will use to get me to Zame. They are five feet away and I can’t do anything to protect myself. Wait, I still have my knives, yes. When they come in the cage and shut the door I will try to kill them. Guard one is opening the cage door while Guard two holds all the equipment. Both guards are in and the door is shut.
“Hello gorgeous, why don’t you come over here and give me a kiss?” Guard one says, he is the one with the zeofite I can tell. I try to act scared so that they get closer to me. I shake my head and back off till I am on the wall of the cage. Guard two has the end of my chain that is connected to the wall.
He says, “Check it out I got a bite.” He starts pulling on the chain and I trip then crack my head on the ground. I heal in seconds but I cut the back of my head so that it looks like I am still bleeding.
“No, well look what you did, you killed her.” Guard one says to Guard two. Guard two runs to my side and tries to save me. He gives me some of his blood and I stop cutting my head. I open my eyes. My left hand behind my head, my right reaching for a knife that I brought with me to the place in the first place.
“Hay, are you ok?” Guard two asks me I have my knife under me so that the other guard doesn’t see it.
“I think, but the question is are you ok?” I ask him. He looks confused. Then I bring up my knife and stab him in the back through the heart he dies quick, glad that he and his friend are humans. He falls on me, I take out my knife from his chest, and I stand up. I look at the other guard who is trying to open the bottle on the zeofite. I run to him and before I can kill him, he opens the bottle and I pass out.
When I wake I am not wearing any clothes and about ten guys are looking at me. I get up and I am on some guy. I stand up but I am chained to the floor. They also must have drugged me because I feel as if I have had twenty wine bottles in a row. “Hay, why don’t we all have seven minutes in Heaven with her, that sounds like fun. Girlie, you pick who goes first,” someone tells me.
“You get to do it with me first,” I reply
“No problem. Everyone else, leave,” he says. The others leave and he shuts the little door to the hallway closed so no one looks in. He smiles to me and then takes of his armor, then his under outfit, and his underwear. He is on top of me and now all my strength has come back. But he unchains me and I am free but he kisses me and I just take them for a while. Then I grab him and put my hand on his mouth.
“Why are you doing this, what do you wish to accomplish with doing this?” I whisper into his ear. I let go of his mouth so he could talk.
“I just thought that you where hot and by the way my name is Frankie,” he says. I then tell him to tell the others that he was done and to send in the next guy. The door opens and I run down a hall and I concentrate on the smells. The more smell the better of a chance that it is near an exit. I turn and run into Zame. He drugs me and takes me to the throne room.
“My Queen, I bring to you, Camsie of the beginning,” Zame says. I thought that he did not know who I was.
“Thank you, Zame, you can leave,” says the Queen with a smile. I notice that I am chained to the floor.
“Miss why am I here?” I ask. I notice that the room is large.
“You are to tell me why you are here. The last time you were here you only brought pain and suffering to us,” she explains.
“I am just here as a visitor, not as the council. We are to meet a in about a week, but other than that a visitor,” I answer.
“Thank you for telling me that. That is all I need to know from you. Now you may leave,” the Queen tells me.
“Wait, why do you have humans here?” I ask her.
“They are here for food nothing more,” she answers.
The guard comes to unchain me and give my cloths back. I dress and I am blindfolded. When I can remove the blind fold I am where I was when I was first captured. I thank the guard and run home. When I get there everyone is worried and scared. They are planning to get me when I knock on the door. Ryan opens the door and hugs and kisses me for ten seconds then puts me down. “Where were you?” he asks.
I lie, “I went to see an old friend.”
Erin runs to me. “I am so sorry I could not fulfill my duties. I will do better next time,” she says.
“It is alright, I am not hurt and I am here now so you are alright,” I reinsure her. I then go upstairs and change into my pajamas. Head into bed and wait for Ryan. He comes in five minutes later and I huddle into his chest and listen to his heart beat. I am up for only two minutes then I sleep.

Chapter 5

I wake and Ryan is there with me. He knows to not do anything crazy today or else we can’t have sex. He gets up a minute later and hugs me tight and says, “Marina, I love more than I love anything else in this world.” He then stretched and got up. I got up too. We both went down for breakfast. We had cereal and milk today. I had a glass of blood, and then went up to take a bath with Ryan.
We are both in the tub but today only water. We are now just staring at each other. “I love you enough to die for you,” I say. We both collapse into each other’s arms crying with tears of joy and love. We got out of the tub five minutes later. I go to my room and dress to hunt some before the night has come. I will only hunt animals so I don’t need a knife. I put on dark jeans and a shirt that says ‘I bite’ on it. I put on a no sleeve jacket and head out my door.
I go downstairs with Ryan alongside me. I kiss his cheek and I go out the front door to the woods. I caught ten deer and four mountain lions. I get back at dinner time. We have homemade pizza. It was really good but I only had one piece due to my big lunch. I went out to the lake after dinner at sun set and the sky was filled with all the colors of the rainbow. Ryan comes out and sits next to me. He takes my hand and stares into my eyes. “Marina,” he reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small box and opens it. Inside is a beautiful ring and continues, “Will you marry me?” I am speechless.
When I get my voice back I say, “Yes, I do!” He puts the ring on my finger and hugs me.
He carries me to his room and we take off our cloths and we kiss. I say, “You will be with me forever.” Then I bite his neck and then I cut my arm and feed him the blood. I stop him and we sleep.
I wake up Ryan is hiding under the covers. The first day of a vampire’s life is spent in darkness. I get up to close the blinds and Ryan comes out from under the sheets. “What did you do to me? What am I?” he asks.
“You are a vampire. We are immortal and we need blood to survive. You will have to stay
