Amethyst POV
Day One
I groaned, holding my aching head as my eyes slowly began peeling open. I adjusted to my surroundings and my heart dropped. Everything around me was black. The walls, the furniture even the soft silk bed sheets that I was laid on. Sitting up I stretched as the events of what happened flowed into my head hitting me like a ton of bricks. I kicked off the covers and shuffled to the door, despite the fact that my limbs felt like jelly. I pulled at knob but it only rattled, I yanked and turned but it wouldn’t budge no matter how hard I tried.
My hand flew to my neck, feeling for the holes in my neck, hoping that this was all some kind of sick dream but they were there. I could feel the dry blood and I hissed every time my skin grazed the raw skin. I slid down the door pulling my knees to my chest and resting my head on them as tears slowly started skimming down my cheeks.
Why would anyone have motive to kidnap me? I'm just boring old Amethyst Jones. I'm not that attractive or special. I’m just an average sixteen year old girl who lives with her mom and spends her time doing art and hanging with her crazy best friends. Is he going to sell me into the p********e trade?
"Well you're a positive thinker aren't you Amethyst?" my eyes snapped to the corner of the room as my kidnapper emerged from the shadows, coming towards me. I stood up, scampering to the other side of the room as far away from him as possible.
"What…what are you? You…you b…bit me?" I held my neck asking him and he let out a loud laugh.
"I'm a vampire obviously" he spoke cockily his eyes turning a deep red. He smiled at me, his extremely pointed canine teeth on full display before they just retracted into his gums leaving him with a perfectly normal smile.
"Why….why am I here?" I couldn’t help but stutter nothing but fear and confusion was running through my veins. I didn’t understand why this was all happening, why I was her, why I was taken.
"You're here because I brought you here" he remarked sarcastically, shoving his hands in his pocket while starting me down.
"Why did you bring me here?" I questioned again, this time more firmly. I needed answers and I needed them now. This wasn’t normal; someone doesn’t just simply kidnap an innocent person because they feel like it unless they’re insane or just plain sadistic and psychotic.
"I brought you here because your boyfriend is a conniving little b***h who betrayed me. He took everything that was rightfully mine and you’re going to pay for it" in a flash he was in front of me. His large hand clasped around my throat and my eyes widened as he lifted me and shoved me against the wall.
"Also because I was hired to do so" his grip on my neck tightened ever so slightly, still allowing me to breathe but the fact that he was so close to me again brought back memories if what he did the last time he was this close and the fact that my feet weren’t touching the ground added more panic to my system. I’d been abducted and was now trapped with some kind of vampire. Vampires are real.
I shivered as his fingers along my face, tracing my jaw line and pushing strands of my hair behind my ear and running his fingers across my chapped lips. At that very moment Morpheus popped into my mind and I almost instantly felt his grip on my throat tighten.
"Don't think of him while you’re with me! Don't let him or anyone associated with him cross your mind or I will beat you to the brink of death and heal you just to do it again!!" he bellowed in my face, his eyes slowly fading to red and his grip worsening until I was gasping for air. I clawed at his hand, feeling my throat burn. Air wasn’t entering my lungs and black dots danced in my vision.
Suddenly he dropped me and I slumped against the wall coughing uncontrollably. My lungs burned and my chest heaved up and down as I sucked in as much oxygen as possible, holding my neck. Tears streamed down my face and snot came from my nose as I laid there on the floor sobbing.
"How pathetic" I looked up at him through my tear filled eyes, blurrily seeing him smiling down at me. His towered over me and casted a dark shadow that made me feel even smaller than I already felt.
"Get yourself cleaned up and come downstairs. Don't try anything I'll know" I heard the door slam behind him and I broke down again. I didn’t want to upset him so I stood on shaky legs, wobbling to the first door on my left to see a lavish bathroom with all black tiles, there was even had a bathtub.
The other door was a closet filled with comfy looking clothes.
I had a warm shower, washing my hair and scrubbing my skin until it was raw. My tears mixed with the water as the soap sods washed down the drain and the water hit the tender skin on my neck. Eventually when I was satisfied that I was clean I slipped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around my body. I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror. The skin of my neck was purple and blue and had a very obvious handprint on it.
I shivered but pulled on the first thing I put my hands on which happened to be a sweatshirt and a pair of shorts. I scurried down the stairs standing awkwardly standing at the end of the stairs. My kidnapper looked at me from behind his newspaper, his feet kicked up on the counter.
"Well cook something. Can’t have going anemic now can we?" he sent me a cheeky smile.
"Look you made front page” he taunted me. I squinted at the newspaper seeing in fact that my picture was on the front page. ‘High Schooler Amethyst Jones still missing’. I froze as he began reading aloud.
“High Schooler Amethyst Jones, who was abducted from her home still hasn’t been found and it’s now been almost a week since she was taken.”
Day Three
My door slammed open, banging against the wall as he came at me with rapid speed and glowing red eyes that looked even more terrifying in the dark. He pinned my arms above my head and I struggled against his hold but one more look in those eyes had me frozen in fear.
"There's a good girl" he leaned down, sniffing my neck and licking his very first bite making me shiver in disgust but stay silent.
"I can hear your heart beating faster. Sending blood through your veins" he slithered a hand down my side and I shuddered, squirming, shutting my eyes tight. I just wanted it to end, all of this. He’s been drinking from me since the day I woke up. He’d come in my room at night and drink from me until he was satisfied.
"Stop moving" he seethed menacingly in my ear and I did as told. He had these powers, they make you do things that you don’t want to and I especially hated it at moments like this, when he tried to drink from me. I’d be still even if everything in me was against what my body was doing.
He let go my hands and I quickly sat up, creating some distance between us. He eyed ne for a while be he grabbed me wrist, holding it to his mouth and sinking his teeth into my skin making me wince.
I guess he's feeling really generous today.
Day Five
He's only drank from my wrist these days. I’m not complaining, since it’s not as painful as neck. He’s given me a drawing pad to sketch in and he’s sometimes been nice to me but fear still bubbles in my stomach every time he’s around. He’s bipolar and angry. One minute we’re having a normal conversation and the next he’s screaming insults at me and back handing me. I just wanted to go home.
Day Eight
I was given strict instructions not to leave my bedroom. I could hear laughing and talking. These people wouldn’t help me, I knew since they were congratulating my abductor on his prize. Me. They were telling him how lucky he was to have kidnapped a Luna right out from under an alpha’s nose. Whatever that meant. When I heard him shout for me to come downstairs my heart dropped. I so wanted to scream for him to f**k off but I kept my cool.
I kept my head down shuffling down the staircase as the air grew dangerously tense.
"Come here now" he beckoned me over and I obeyed because I didn’t want to be hurt.
I stood in front of the men whose stares burned into my soul.
"Straddle me" he spoke with his usual emotionless voice and my eyes snapped to his begging him not to do this to me, but his eyes flashed red and his now hypnotic voice filled my ears.
"Straddle me"
I involuntarily did what he said throwing my leg over his lap and sitting down. The position gave them a clear view of my ass and I tried my best to pull my long shirt down to look decent but he glared at me stopping me.
"Isn't she sexy? That sick b***h paid me to take her" he blew cigarette smoke in my face and I coughed, my eyes watering. Someone had paid him to do this to me? Did someone really hate me that much? I knew people could be psychopathic and crazy but this person took it to a new height.
"How much?" The guy on my left whose hand was rubbing on my bare thigh questioned and I kept shifted trying to get him to stop.
"Seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars" he threw his head back, laughing with a huge smile on his face and the guy on my right whistled.
"You hit the jackpot man" he hollered and my kidnapper nodded.
"Ok enough chit chat dig in"
The man on the left grabbed my wrist and the on the right grabbed the other. He tilted my head to the side and their sharp fangs sunk into my skin at the same time. I screamed at the pain raking up my frame, through my entire body. I kept on moving, trying to wriggle away and I could've sworn I heard him moan so I stopped all movement, letting the three men drink from my until I was light headed and my eyes closed, hopefully for good this time.
Day Fifteen
I woke up to the familiar all black bedroom and started sobbing looking at the marks on my skin. Not just on my wrist but on my thighs and legs as well. I felt my neck and there were two marks on either side. I got and limped to the bathroom seeing that there were on my shoulder and sides. My face was unbelievably sunken in; my eyes were a pale light grey now instead of the vibrant colour that it used to be and my hair lay limp around my head.
I looked like a zombie.
I threw the bloody long shirt onto the floor avoiding the full body mirror, sitting in the tub and letting the blazing hot water wash away the dried blood. I couldn't cry anymore I was out of tears so I sat there numb letting the water blister and burn my skin the water was a deep red the marks on my shoulder were bleeding so I guess the others were to.
I submerged myself in the water laying down and opening my eyes I could feel the water enter my lungs and my nose but I still didn't move it burned.
Everything was slowly going dark, my ears were ringing I knew I would be hurting a lot of people by doing this but I wanted out. I just wanted this to end. I couldn’t stay here anymore, there was no escape. Every door and window was sealed tight; he knew my every thought and action before I could do it. There was no escape.
I could hear the echo of my heartbeat in my ears, every nerve and instinct in my body was telling me to get up but I ignored it, accepting my fate when someone grabbed me forcing me out of the water. I sputtered, choking up water as the person held my nose and pounded on my back making me bring it all up.
"What the f**k Amethyst?! Why were you trying to kill yourself?" My kidnapper was knelt above me, actually looking worried it made me giggle.
"My name is Ares damn it stop calling me your kidnapper" I nodded my eyes slowly closing once again I could hear my heartbeat in my ears.
It disgusted me.
