Shaking on the Ground, My Head's Going Crazy From Within

A couple days later…

“Dammit.” I muttered under my breath. What happened after I had woken up? I just hurt myself. It was a typically, clumsy move of mine. Lynn was still peacefully sleeping in her cell, but stirred as soon as I uttered my curse.

A dull, stinging pain pulsed in my right palm. It was as if my heartbeat was attempting to escape through my open wound. A stream of blood coursed from my hand down onto the floor. It was slow, but painful. The accident must’ve happened when I woke up and scraped my hand against the corner of the stone. Little red scarlet jewels reflected the amber light.

“What is it?” Lynn asked sleepily. She rubbed her blind eyes with the back of her hand. I sighed and turned my hand over. The red liquid dripped quicker to the floor.

“Oh, nothing.” I grumbled and let my right hand rest on the floor, palm up. It would stop bleeding eventually.

“Just, please tell me you didn’t hurt yourself…” Lynn trailed off, her voice sighing. I bit my lip, trying not to be too obvious.

“Well…”

“Jynx….” She warned.

“Fine. I cut my hand open.”

“WHAT?! Is it bleeding?”

“Well, yeah…” I said with a slight bit of annoyance. It wasn’t that big of a deal! Lynn stumbled around blindly. Catching her arm with my good hand, I pulled her down beside me.

“They’ll be here any minute…” She touched my arm and eventually tapped a single drop of wet, sticky blood. Withdrawing her fingers, she went to her original corner, backing away as if she was dead afraid.

“What do you-oh.” I gasped. Of course, I had forgotten. Vampires. Blood. Me. Yep, I was a recipe for disaster.

As if on cue, the door swung open and Austin rushed in. His pale face was cautious and guarded as he stared to me. He had probably smelled my blood on the floor and gotten hungry.

“Jynx, what happened?” He asked me. His hands took a key and slid it into the lock. Austin was so quick, it was as if he was a blur of paint on a canvas.

“Nothing, Master Carlile.” I grumbled, trying to remember my manners. You know what? I was in pain, stuck in this dark little area with eleven other people, and I have my right to be grumpy!

“Jynx….” He warned me. Slumping over in defeat, I explained.

“I cut my hand open on a rock.”

“Okay, well let me see it.” He sat down in front of me, crossing his legs under him. His golden eyes found mine and I hesitantly cradled my arm. After a moment, he held out his hands for me to see. It made me nervous to hold out my bleeding wounds in front of a hungry vampire.

I didn’t want him ripping off my arm and eating it whole!

After a minute of him just staring me down, I dropped my gaze and held out my palm. He cupped my hand and carefully inspected the wound. Unlike the strong, forceful grip I was expecting him to possess, his cool fingers gently uncurled mine and tenderly stroked the prickly skin.

“Here, I’ll get some bandages.” He said. In an instant, he was out the door. I barely took a breath and he was back. I kept forgetting about that vampire speed.

Austin wasn’t even out of breath when he came back. Using both hands, he carefully wrapped the fabric around my palm, pressing into the skin very softly.

I let out a string of curses as he pressed the wound. It wasn’t deep, but it did hurt. Austin sighed and I was afraid that he would’ve smacked me for saying that stuff.

“There. All better?”

“Yes, Master.” I grudgingly agreed. He sighed, continuing to hold my hand in his. Lynn stayed silent from her corner.

“You have to tell me if you get hurt, okay?” He asked me honestly. I nodded, still not meeting his eyes. I’d rather look anywhere else than be trapped there.

“As in the safe word?”

“Well, yes, but stuff like this. I want to make sure you’re okay.” He tried smiling. Of course, it was warm and friendly, not cold or cruel.

Why had the other ever said that Austin was dark and secluded? He seemed okay to me…

“Okay, sir.” I responded quietly. Glancing at his tattoos, I tried to read the story painted with them.

“Hey, maybe I’ll show you aboveground later.” Austin put a finger under my chin and raised it to meet his gaze. That caught my attention.

“Aboveground?”

“Yeah, I can show you the lobby and Alan can meet you for once. You can also see our library and the main hall. There might be a chance so that you can meet Or’re’ch” His warm eyes sparkled in excitement.

“I’m guessing that’s your night hound?” He nodded happily.

“Sounds great.” I agree. Although it all sounded ‘fun’, what I really wanted was a peek through a window, to see the sky once again. It had grown dreary and even more enclosed without the presence of the sun or closeness of the grass. Maybe, I could steal away to look past a curtain up there…

“Good. Well, I’ll see you in a little while.” He kissed the tip of my nose, stood up, and whirled through the door. My brain could barely comprehend before I noticed he had left.

My nerves were still standing on end when I leaned back against the wall. A small sigh of content escaped my lips before I could contain it. Was I really smiling from him kissing me? What had gotten into me!? I was prisoner! This wasn’t some romance book!

I had only sat there in a daze for five minutes when the door opened again. I looked up, expecting to see the kind eyes of Austin come back for something…but this was not that. It was another horrifying sight.

Alex stood in the doorway, dark brown eyes glowing in a vicious hunger, teeth bared, and hands curled, as if in claws.

I think someone was a little hungry….
