The Monster That Is Me

Austin:



Eliza goes limp in my arms just as another chilling howl ripples through the dark night. I’d know that howl anywhere. It’s Andy Biersack. Swiftly I pick her up bridal style. I have to get us out of here. Well, mainly the girl, she’s not safe here. Especially since Andy’s coven, The Fallen Angels, are out and on the prowl. I can since the vibe from them, they’re out hunting. Now I know this girl definitely isn’t safe. The Fallen Angels love to feed off of vampire-human hybrids.

I sprint off into the direction of the safe house .It’s not going to take long for me to get there. Gradually, I increased my speed weaving in and out of the rugged terrain. I could sense them, they weren’t far behind.

I’m leading them to the safe house. They can’t know where the house its, that will only cause trouble. I turned to the left galloping a couple more miles before haunting to an abrupt stop. I turned around glaring ahead waiting for them to appear.

“Well, look who we have here.” Andy stated sarcastically “If it isn’t Austin Carlile.”

A smile appeared across my face “Andy Biersacek…..long time no see.”

“Yeah, haven’t seen you in a while.” I chuckle lightly. “I’ve been busy with….”

I was interrupted by a hiss. Gazing up I saw Ashley staring Eliza’s sleeping body “He’s got a dhamphir.” Ashley takes hesitant step forward fangs protruding out his mouth “Our dhamphir.”

Andy grabs him by the arm pulling him roughly back “Yes, Ashley I see the appetizing dhamphir.” He looks at Eliza with lustful eyes before gazing back at me “Austin, I think you have something of ours.”

I cock an eyebrow at the tall man “Something of yours…..Andy I have nothing that’s yours.”

“But….you see, in all factual evidence, you do.” He takes a step forward “You see we’ve been hunting this particular dhamphir for a while now.”

“So…” I grunt

Andy frowns his eyes flickering a bright red. “So…it’s only fair that we get what’s rightfully ours.”

“Look, I have nothing of yours.” I take a couple steps backwards “So, I’ll be on my way.”

“No! No! No! No! No!” CC yells teeth flashing out in anger “You can’t just take her. She’s our dhamphir….OURS!”

“CC!” Andy declares sternly yanking him backwards. “CC calm down. We don’t want to start any trouble.”

“Yeah, CC listen to Andy.” I grumble

“You shut up.” He hissed. “I take what’s mine. And she..” He says motioning to Eliza “She is mine.”

This isn’t going to end well. I can already since a fight. Of course I can win. I glanced down at the sleeping girl in my arms. But, I can’t put all my focus in fighting if she’s here. Taking a couple paces back I sat Eliza on the ground softly.

CC’s face brightened up at my action “He’s giving her back!” He turned to the others who also mirrored his “Yay! He’s giving her back.”

Andy looked at me side ways. “What are you up to Carlile?”

“Nothing!” I smirked waving my hand over Eliza’s body. In an instant she disappeared

“No!” they all gasped. They looked shocked.

“Where! Where did you take my dhamphir?” He lunged forward but was yanked back by Andy and Ashley “WHERE DID YOU TAKE HER!” He cried collapsing to the ground “WHERE!”

I chuckled lightly at the scene in front of me. CC was in hysterics. He was currently sprawled out on the ground, grabbing fistfuls of pine needles and throwing them in the air. That, that has the ability to make anybody laugh

“I took her somewhere safe.” His head shot up, eyes sending me daggers full of hate. Was that actually suppose to scare me. I shot him a satisfying smirk in return. I’m not scared. “Somewhere you’ll never find her.”

CC sat on the ground fist clenched tightly. His shoulders rose up and down at an alarming rate. The veins in his skin started to protrude slightly. Slowly he stood up, his now red eyes staring at me. “You’re going to pay for taking my dhamphir.”

“Christian no!” Andy said grabbing him. He spun out of Andy’s hold and lunged forward. “Christian Coma! Stop!” Andy yelled reaching for him, missing by an inch.

Christian drew his fist back and swung forward. His knuckles collided with my face sending a bone crushing pop through the forest. He just hit me. That mother fucking low life just fucking hit me.

My body started to heat up and I began to twitch. Chris’s aggressive face soon turned into one of horror. In a swift movement I gripped him by the neck and lifted him clear cut off the ground.

“Why did you hit me Christian?” I snarl barring my five inch fangs “Didn’t you’re momma teach you to keep your hands to yourself?” I slam him into the ground. He tries to get away. “Na-uh! Not so fast hot shot.” I bark placing my foot on his back keeping him from moving anymore. “I’m not done with you yet.”

I grip both of his arms tightly. He starts to frantically wiggle, he knows what I’m about to do. Before he can utter a protest his spine-chilling scream showers through the air as I rip his arms from his torso.

“Next time it’ll be your head instead.” I grunt tossing his arms to the side. I look up at the rest of the coven, all of which had horrid looks on there face. I smirked in amusement. I glanced at CC who was moaning in agony “Suck it up bitch. You’ll be hurting for a while.”

“Have a nice night boys!” I snickered before turning around and walking away

I wasn’t worried about any of them coming after me. Chris, by obvious means, wasn’t capable of doing so. And the others, well I’m sure they learned by example. None of them would be stupid enough to come after me. Not what I just did back there.

“Austin!” I heard a voice moan. I halted and peeped over my shoulder. Christian was looking at me, face twisted in pain. “I’ll get you back. It may not be any time soon. It may be years from now.” He groaned as Andy snapped his arm back in. “But I’ll get you back. And when I do. You’ll be sorry.”

I turned around fully and smirked at him “Try me Christian. Try me!”

I threw him a thumb up before spinning around and heading on my way. I was walking slowly until I remembered Eliza. The beautiful girl that I suddenly felt connected to. I oddly feel the need to be with her, to hold her, to care for her and to nurture her. My speed gradually increased, I really wanted to get home and make sure she was alright.

What in the world is going on with me? I’ve never been like this before?

I didn’t have a chance to answer the unanswerable question. I reached my destination, the safe house. I opened the door and crossed the threshold as silent as superhumanly possible. Carefully tiptoeing up the stairs, skipping the fifth and sixteenth step that creaked like there was no tomorrow.

Finally, after what felt like a lifetime if that’s even possible, I arrived at my room door. I pushed it openly softly, making sure to close it with care. Phil has very acute hearing and I really didn’t want to wake him up. I flipped on the light and turned around to see the last person I expected to see. Phil. He was sitting on my bed head tucked tightly between his arms. His head began to shake as he slowly sat up. He petted the sleeping Eliza head. Picking up one of her soft, golden brown curls and twirling it in his finger.

“You got a lot of explaining to do dude.” He states letting the curl go limp. His golden eyes looked into mine. “What in the hell is a dhamphir doing in your room? And a Bathorian one at that?”

“Bathorian….” My eyes went big. I looked at him in horror. “No! No! No! This can’t be! She can’t be!”

“Yet she is!” He sighed looking at me “Austin, the Eliza Marie Bathory is in your bed.”

I closed my eyes letting what I just learned marinate. She is the Eliza Marie Bathory. Her grandmother is Elizabeth Bathory the Blood Countess and Akasha the Vampire Queen. She’s Bathorian royalty, and part of the Bathorian Clan. A clan which has been trying to find and dispose of me since the day I was born.

Actually they were getting pretty close to finding me. Lucky they agreed had to sign a treaty with our clan about a year ago. They wouldn’t technically try to hunt me down anymore, hence why we have been able to purchase a house. Part of the treaty was that they would leave us alone, as long as I didn’t do anything wrong.

And I just kidnapped there princess



Shit. I’m fucked.
