Chapters 2 On The Run

It’s been three years since the attack on my home. I am now seventeen years old and my sister is only ten. Over the years things have changed. The government is now controlled by vampires and humans have not only become the bottom of the food chain but also the pets that they toy with. Things are different now. I can't go anywhere without having to cover my tracks behind me. There are only a few humans who live in the woods away from the streets and the towns around here along with my sister and me. We are well known to the vampires, some vamps leave us alone, and others come hunting for us. Not many make it out alive from the vamps hunting us, others that are caught are sold like objects or a new crown jewel that has been buried for many years. We start walking further uphill at dawn when the sun rises.  We walk for hours before we find a source of water and food.


“ Grace drink some water you need to keep hydrated,” I said 


“ Okay Buba,” She said


“So this is where you humans hide,” A voice said from behind me


I jump at the sound and turn around grabbing my sister and pulling her behind me.
A tall man standing in front of me with his jet black hair blowing, hiding his bright green eyes. I observed him head to toe, he was wearing a white long-sleeve button-up shirt, black pants that are being cut off a little below the knee, and a sword that hangs at the side of his hip. He took a step closer, and I took a step back and this continued until I was backed up against a tree. The male kept getting closer to me enough that I could smell a faint smell of wet dog and sweat. When he was not paying attention I grabbed a very thick branch and hit him in the place I knew it would hurt and ran. 


We got to the cave by dark when the hunters came.
I buried me and my sister in the back of a cave we found a few days back. I sang a little and small lullaby to my sister and watched her drift off to sleep. As I lay down myself to fall asleep I heard a sound coming from outside of the cave and I snapped up waiting to hear anything else only to hear nothing. I lay my head back on the hard dark ground and drifted off to sleep.  I woke up to the sound of screaming. I looked up and saw figures by the cave. I looked down and tried to feel for my sister to be sure she was safe only to feel dirt and rocks. My heart starts to race as I panic. I feel tears start to fall. I wait and watch as the vampire's finger only finds no sign of my sister. That's when I heard a blood-curling scream coming from the vampire, the sight terrorizing me as I watched the fight and the blood slating everywhere.  The screams finally stop and the vampire's body falls and when it did I saw the ugly blood-stained face. I quickly looked at the remaining figure and shuddered. The figure starts to move towards the open cave and walks in before I could do anything. I was attacked by the person and my mouth was covered with what felt like a piece of cloth, the smell of the chemical or whatever was on the fabric made it hard to breathe, I soon felt dizzy and passed out.
