Dark Angel

1

When a mortal hears the word vampire they think mindless blood sucking creature that hates the world. I hated the world because of what it did to me so with my wisdom I tell this story.

My life first became havoc when I was about sixteen years of age and I had just fallen in love. This was very different for me because I never thought on love even if I was the prettiest of my siblings. I had four sisters and five brothers and I was the youngest with long golden hair but deep forest green eyes. The one I fell in love with was a guard in my father's castle who served night shifts and he was a pale yet handsome one and I followed him everywhere. He was more interested in my mother but I thought nothing of it and did what ever he wanted. That finally ended when I drew my sword for battle.

Word was sent to the king that there had been a siege of warriors tearing up the country side and that they were coming straight for our home. Everyone was in panic and all gates were locked and no one was allowed to leave the castle until the siege was over. The very day when we were to be attacked I went to look for Rathbow the soldier I was in love with. I couldn't find him then from a window I heard him calling.

"Princess send me a key I can't get in and they are right behind me!"

I snuck around and stole my mother's key and threw it to him. He caught it and rushed to the other side but he wasn't the only thing that entered but the siege did as well. Having no time my mother shoved me into her stone cupboard and I watched as the door bust down and there stood my love but he wasn't as I had seen him.

"Your highness how nice to see you. Have you decided upon my offer?"

"I would rather die a thousand times then to be what you are!"

"Then there is only one thing I can do!"

He grabbed my mother and shredded her dress while kissing her hard. I watched in pure shock as he raped her. When she screamed I screamed in my head for this to end and only be a nightmare, tears were gushing out of my eyes and I almost screamed in fear. He then took out a knife and stabbed her in the stomach, he then disappeared, stunned for that time, I walked out to her and I looked at her bleeding body and leaned down and sat by her. With my hand I pulled the knife out and felt the wound. She took my bloody hand and kissed it and with little strength she spoke.

"Cail you…have to go…to the cupboard…and use the sword to kill those out there…" and as her breath left her she died and I shed tears until I could no longer. Looking again at her I stood tall and walked to the stone cupboard I put on the light protective suit and unsheathed the jewel sword. I ran out into the main hall and yelled for Rathbow, he looked up and there I stood there beautiful in my armor sword in hand with my hair flowing.

"Princess what do you think you are doing?"

"Taking revenge for my mother and everyone else you all have killed." I screamed as I rushed forward and swung the sword at the back of his neck. Blood splattered everywhere in my hair and on the floor and it I didn't care these vampires had to pay dearly.

I swung the sword at more of them and dodged their attacks then one shouted, "It's the dark angel retreat! Retreat!" and those disgusting creatures ran in fear. I spit on them and went to look for survivors. Many of the servants were dead and my father was badly wounded, the stench of blood was everywhere and you had to cover your mouth or risk queasiness. Doctors were everywhere trying as hard as they could to clean and bandage the wounds. I dropped my sword and ran back to my mother's room and there I picked up her limp, blood soaked body and carried slowly down the stairs. Everyone in the hall turned towards me and I could see the disgruntled faces through their mask.

"Where is my father?" I asked the nearest doctor. Silently he point to a chamber and carrying my mother I went to find him. When I stepped into the room he was laying on a bed bandages and assortments of remedies everywhere looking about I paused for a second then walked to him and placed mother beside him. He tried to open his eyes but I told him not to, instead I held his hand and spoke to him.

"Father they are all gone. Mother I could not save but she has been avenged by my hand. I know that I'm the only one you have here and I will take good care of you." I kissed his hand and rubbed his cheek with my other hand. Tears were falling onto his hand and I could see the tears in his eyes as well.

After this situation father allowed me to go about as I liked but he wanted me married by eighteen and I was not going to agree to it. We argued over it until he finally said that he wanted me to be safe from anything. I left with that thought and ran to the forest where I sat by the lake.

"Why does this have to happen to me?" I said as I looked into the pool and then I saw another reflection of a pale man.

"What is a gentle thing like you doing out here so far?" He asked

"Gentle would be the last word I would use." I said as I kept looking in the pool. He sat down next to me and he probably couldn't tell who I was from the way I dressed. Good I didn't want to be recognized by anyone.

"Do you know anything about the princess Cailabra?" I first felt a little shock I put it off.

"Why would you like to know much?" I snapped as I turned around to see him eye to eye.

"Five days from now is her eighteenth birthday does she have any wishes?" He asked quite calmly since my remark.

"Her freedom from marriage!" I said then I took off for my horse and rode away to the castle. I had to find some way to get away from everything, and I hope I would.

I dressed myself in the servants outfit and got to the front gate. Looking around I found no one who could identify me. Slipping through the gate I tip toed to the stable, once here I grabbed my horse and took off into the night. Someone was following and I could feel it, when I felt something hit me in the head and I was knocked out.

I woke up to find I had been taken back to my room and that the plan had not gone well. Who found out about my getaway? I cursed everything and anyone. My life was not going the way I wanted. I wanted gone from this place so I could be free from my torment.

The days past quickly and to my pain I had one more day until I'd be someone' slave to them but to me I would find one way or another to escape it. The night was beautiful with all its stars free and the only reason I could not leave now was I had been locked in my room, treated as a caged animal. When the time finally came and the last of the suitors were finished I was forced in my tight waist silver/ midnight blue dress. Struggling the whole time, throwing hits and running past the knights I ran through the halls in search of a way out. Finally caught I screamed and kicked for my life but they got me in the carriage and next to me was an old man who he barely fit in the carriage and he was balding really badly. As we took off for his home he kept feeling me up and I slapped him the whole way back.

My life at this `new' home never got any better especially when I tried to run away. They'd catch me and Lord Fat would beat me with a whip. Treated no better then a servant or a slave I would have to hide away. The only way I could ever find comfort was in writing my music and singing when I felt really bad. Lord Fat disapproved of it but that didn't stop my writing.

"Ladies are not to be smart!" Lord Fat would yell at me.

"I can be whatever I want to be!" I argued back.

"Guards grab her she needs to be whip-"I pulled out a dagger and held it to his throat.

"Hurt me anymore and I promise you will die in your sleep."

During one dark evening same as the others when I could not sleep I watched for some sense hope. A shadow was spotted on the wall and I leaned out then some flying person grabbed a hold of my arm. I tried to look at the person but he hid his face with a black cloak. I fell into his arms asleep somehow and felt only the wind across my face.

I woke up that morning in a silver linen bed that shimmered in the sunlight. I gazed at my surroundings and recollected the happenings from the night and I ran to the door and pulled it open.

"Someone please explain to me where I am?!" I yelled down the halls and one of the servant girls came forward and spoke. "Renard brought you here milady, you are to be his wife."

"I never agreed to this where am I? No one can just come and take me then marry me!" I said and walked out the door to the garden I had seen and there was a stable not too far. Running as fast as I could I picked out the first horse and road down the road and away from this new home. Galloping until someone rode up behind my horse and grabbed the reins.

"Sorry milady strict orders for you to not leave the grounds." Pulling me back to the castle I jumped off and ran to the first open tree and swiftly I got up to the top branches. The man gazed up at me and mumbled something and walked away. Everyone that passed by the tree stared at me like I was the strangest thing they ever saw and some of the younger ones even laughed. Night came and everyone knew that the new girl was still in the tree. It started to rain and closing my eyes I thought of a way to escape.

"You crazy girl get down here!" A deep voice yelled up the tree. I looked down to see a dark haired and dark eyed man standing underneath the tree.

"No I'm not coming down ever!" I yelled back at it when my arm was pulled on and I was in the arms of my captor.

"Why did you do that I wanted to stay up there!" Pulling at his arms trying to getaway.

"Now I couldn't let someone as beautiful get sick. Besides I just rescued you and that would not be good for you to die just yet." He smirked and let out a small laugh at the way I was looking at him.

"Let me go whoever you are! I can find my way to the castle!" Renard let go and I sprinted down the road but he stepped right in front me and grabbed my dress.

"I think I will lead you to the castle this time." And escorted me to the entrance.

"Why did you bring me here?"

"I needed to have some company and you were the best!" He answered with such ease.

"Would you like to have a chance to make everything right in your life?" Renard asked with such seriousness in his voice. I turned from him and looked at the ground then slowly I spoke.

"Every since that very day years ago that was all I ever thought of! Nothing could ever change the way I would feel about all of it." I turned back to him and stared into his eyes.

"Can you give me my revenge?" Renard looked into my eyes and smiled at my desperate look. He then moved his face to my neck then I felt a pierce in it and the blood being drained from body and I realized that he was what I hated the most of all.

"You're a vampire you shall die!" I reached for the sword at his waist and pulled it out and held it to his neck.

"Ha you think that a sword can do such to me. I am not like those you fought back home my dear besides you are weak from blood loss." I knew he was right but what was it I could do?

"I can save you from this all if you let me." He held his hand out to me and I fell to the ground the sword still in my hand.

"GIVE ME MY REVENGE!" I closed my eyes as I felt something drip onto my lips and I licked at it in hopes for it to bring me what it was I wanted. The liquid tasted sweet enough to take my mind away from all the problems and put me into ecstasy. When I felt it ripped away from my mouth a pain shot threw my body and I felt everything die.

"Be still it is only your body that is dying and it will pass." Then I stood pale and ran at him again, but this time I had a hold of his cloak.

"Tell me demon what it I have to know about being one of your kind." We were nose to nose and he didn't seem in the least bit scared of me.

"You will find everything you need behind the tree to the left." He was mocking me and he didn't know what I was thinking or he would have said something. Slowly I made my way to the tree and there as he had said were all my things including my sword, good. Reaching for it I swung it at him but he grabbed it and shook his head.

"You have much to learn my slayer. Go you must but this will always be here for you." What would he know I walked at abnormal speeds away from my host deep into the forest where I would get to have my first taste of human and immortal blood.

I had a splendid coffin and cottage put into the alps when I had the chance, then my thirst for more of the evil of our kind killed by my sword and I drank the blood of the evil mortals.

The first time I had just run into the forest where there was a gathering with immortal and mortal alike. There were the immortal men and mortal women and from what I knew these guys were getting these women to fall into love with them. They were cheating on them all and it was just like before with me and it would end with these vampires.

"Sassy get me another one. Lady you are fine she won't find out." The vampire said as he sunk his teeth into her neck. I came up behind him and cut him deeply with my sword.

"What the hell?!" He yelled as the wound was healing slowly.

"Vampire I will take you down with the revenge I feel for all that play your game!"

"But you are one of our kind, why do you kill?" He ran back at me and I stepped aside and slammed the sword into his back and through him into the fire.

"For those who play their games with the mortals shall pay with their lives. Warning to all I Cail will defeat you in any battle that takes place."
