×Chapter 21×
*The Beast Unleashed×
Adam woke up feeling groggy and disoriented. He heard a voice call out to him.
“Adam? Adam!?”
Adam thought to himself, “Who…is that? It sounds familiar.”
“Wake up you idiot!”
“John!?” Adam yelled, this time aloud, his eyes jerking open.
John was there in front of Adam, being held back by two guards with spears that were hovering in the air, their dark, vein-riddled wings flapping quickly to keep them a foot off the ground. They were both very pale white, and wearing tight black suits that had big collars going up to their ears.
Another vampire, this one looking very much like a man, stood behind John, a wide smile on his face as John struggled to get loose. His only defining features as a vampire were his pale skin, pointed ears, and fangs. His eyes held an unnatural radiance, the green irises were thinner than a normal human, and they made him look almost feral. The vampire was wearing a crown on his head.
Adam felt something itchy on his neck and tried to reach up to scratch at it, his hands were bound behind his back and he could hardly move them an inch. He looked down; there was a trapdoor directly below him. He looked up; a rope was hanging down from a wooden beam toward his head. With dread Adam realized that he was on a gallows, about to be executed. Adam glanced to his side, Rachel was standing there, unconscious, held up only by the rope around her neck.
“Let her go!” Adam screamed to no one in particular.
The vampire behind John simply smirked, an evil smirk that Adam could tell hid something very sinister. He opened his thin lips to speak, “The girl first.”
Adam’s eyes went wide and his spine became rigid, he panicked, “No! Don’t kill her please! Kill me, just let her live…”
