THE UNIQUE LUNA

CHAPTER 3: DONNA AND DRAKE

CHAPTER 3: DONNA AND DRAKE

After our conversation, I let them rest but I notice how their breathing becomes shallow. I know they will not last any longer. I can’t believe I will helplessness witness them die. I am wishing this is just a very bad dream and be awakened.

“Louis, Joe.” I cried and hold their hands. “I’m so sorry guys for keeping you worried but you may now rest in peace.”

Louis stopped breathing and peacefully died then Joe followed him in a matter of time. I am crying for their death but I almost feel numb for the pain of losing them. I lost the two of them and they will not be able to come back. Maybe Nina and Bella will face the same fate as them.

The door creaked and Alexei entered as if he knew that they just died. “Freya, come here.” Alexei said. “You cannot keep clinging to their corpses. I’ll transfer you to another room.”

“No! I will not leave them.” I refused. “I bring them home with me.”

“Don’t be hard headed, Freya.” Alexei warned. “I’m giving you special treatment but it doesn’t mean I will not hurt you.”

Alexei walked towards me and forcefully dragged me away from Louis and Joe’s corpses. “Please let me give them a proper burial!” I plead. “They deserve it!”

“It is just a human body. Leave it there and it will decompose eventually.” Alexei explained to her like they were in a science class.

Since Alexei is much stronger to her, he was able to drag her into the next room. There she saw a man and a woman that looking at her warily. They must be the werewolf and the vampire that Joe mentioned.

“Oh you must know what are they?” Alexei said when he saw her reaction.

Then Alexei pushed me into the other corner of the room. “Freya, how is your feeling when you discovered that they were real? Are you delighted like me?” He interviewed me. “I know you want to be one of them too. They have the power and strength to rule!”

“No! I am not like you!” I said angrily. “I am not insane to kill anybody just for a f*****g experiment! You’re a doctor but I think you need one!”

A hard slap was touched to my face. I taste the blood inside my mouth. He searched inside his pocket and then he put out a blood extraction vial.

“You’re lucky you are my only one left specimen for this project.” Alexei said to me. “Or else I killed you instantly.”

He walked toward the werewolf lady and forcefully extracted blood from her. I tried to stop him but I was too weak for him.

“Damn it!” I shouted after Alexei exited the room and locked us in. “Go to hell, Alexei!”

“Hey human girl, are you fine?” The vampire asked me gently looking for my injuries. I didn’t expect for him to be concerned about me. But this right time asking me if I am fine is a very different matter.

It flashed in my mind the days I was in school happily talking to my best friends, Nina and Bella, while I am stalking my campus crush, Louis. There is saying that repentance is at the end. I must value my friends more than before. Now, they will be gone forever.

“I don’t know anymore.” I said truthfully to the guy. “My friends just died and I feel so numb.”

Both of them looked at me with full of sympathy. I poured my whole heartache. I cried in front of them and don’t mind that they were watching. It is so hard to mourn to those who will never be back.

“It’s my entire fault! It’s my entire fault. I’m the one that should die not them.” I tell them. “If it just I listen to Bella… we will not in this situation.”

“Don’t blame yourself, human girl.” The werewolf lady said and holds my hand to calm myself. “All happened here must have a reason. Think this will open a path to you for something new.”

“I’m not sure what happen to me after I escaped this hell.” I said with full of fear. “Or I can escape from this?”

“Don’t worry we will help you, human.” The vampire said with full of confidence. “The Alpha dog must be coming his way here to get his lovely mate.”

“Drake…” The werewolf lady glared at him. “We are not dogs! Say it again; I’ll bite your ass!”

I wiped away my tears and calmed myself. Crying will not help me. I need to find a way to escape from Alexei and save my best friends. They might still alive.

I seriously looked at them. “Are you really a werewolf and a vampire?” I asked them out of my curiosity.

They nod. “I am Donna Black, daughter of Beta Jimmy of Black Moon Pack.” The werewolf girl introduced herself to me. “And this is Drake Collins, a friend of mine, who is the youngest prince of the Vampire clan.”

I hold my head trying to sink in the information after I confirmed what they are. They were really real. Joe and Louis said were true.

“So you’re really exists…” I said unbelievably. “I thought you were just a fictional character.”

“Well, we like humans to think that we were just a book character.” Drake said at grinned at me. “You think you can live a normal life if you know there are vampires lurking in shadows?”

I shake my head. “Sorry, I will be too afraid if I know that.”

“That’s it.” Donna said. “We like to co-exist to humans without they fear us.”

“Co-exist?” I repeated. “Are you saying there is a lot of werewolves and vampires everywhere?”

“Likely.” Drake confirmed. “It is like for 50 persons in a room, there are 5 werewolves and 5 vampires.”

“20% of the populations are supernatural beings.” I concluded.

“Exactly.” They both confirmed.

“My goodness!” I exclaimed and they laughed for my funny reaction. “I can’t believe that there are a lot of you.”

“And Alexei doesn’t have idea.” Donna commented. “He likely puts a war himself in my pack and vampire clan. My Alpha mate will find me no matter what and Drake being a vampire prince is a different matter.”

I think I know where our conversation going through. There is hope. I can escape from Alexei. We just need to survive until they arrived.

“Mate.” I repeated. “He is your destined one, right? I had read about it in werewolf novels.”

She blushed thinking her own mate. This is the first time in my life that I feel envious and insecure. If I ever I had a mate like her…

I can… but Louis is now gone.

“Yeah, that’s how werewolf finds their partner.” Donna said shyly at me. “I feel so lucky that I am destined to Dwight. He is so perfect and definitely made for me. He is caring and loving well sometimes possessive and controlling. But that what is he…”

“Aw!” I awed.

“How are about vampires?” I asked. “Do you have a mate or something?”

Drake shakes his head. “We don’t have a mate… we vampires are looking for our forever bloody bags.”

“Oh…” I said disapprovingly. “Bloody bags? Really?”

“That was the term we use for them.” Drake said as if he is convincing me.

“Fine, fine. I get it.” I surrendered. “Vampires are not romantic beings.”

“I can feel you.” Donna said while laughing. “But from my experience, Drake is much decent vampire I known so far. Vampires are merciless and dangerous beings. They kill humans to survive. We, werewolves, are also against to their way of living.”

“Hey, I haven’t killed human so far but maybe Alexei would be my first human prey.” Drake said full of anger. “I’ll drain every blood in his body.”

“If that is the case, I would be gladly to help you.” Donna said while grinning. “I can’t wait to tear him into pieces until no one will not able to recognize him.”

I grimaced by imagining Alexei outcome if they did it. That would be a gruesome sight for a normal human like me.
