Chapter 19

Faith felt her blood boil and her bones crack as her body convulsed against the restraints, her conscious mind leaving her blank as thoughts of pain and death filled her. The blood pouring out of her chest wound turning black in color as it slowed to a stop. Feeling unnaturally strong given how much blood she had lost the brunette tried once more at the restraints. Pulling with all her might a vicious smile crossed her lips as the chains and ropes broke open freeing her body from its prone position.

Looking down at jeweled dagger that was protruding from her chest Faith slowly brought a hand up to curling her fingers around the hilt. Hissing as the silver inlay burned her she quickly yanked the dagger out of her chest, the wound healing almost instantly as soon as the metal left her body. Looking at her surrounding confused as fuzzy memories filled her mind, Faith bit her lower lip her fangs piercing her skin. The smell of her own blood making her stomach twist in hunger as the last memory she had shone brightly clear in her mind.

Standing back in the shadows watching the scene before her Drusilla had a bad feeling in the pit of her stomach as she starred at Faith's new demon form. Looking at the doll in her arms the brunette vampire frowned deeply at the quiet still figure. Wondering why Ms. Edith was so quiet when their dreams were about to come true a maniacal laugh reached her ears, startling her. Crouching down slightly whimpering like a small child in front of a bad man Dru starred up at the twisted face of her daughter and felt real fear.

Swallowing as yellow eyes met brown the elder vampress stood with mock bravery, dropping her partner in crime to the ground as she unfolded her arms. Stepping forward Drusilla reached out and caressed Faiths cheek. Smiling at the purr of delight coming from her child, she traced over one of the many bumps that now formed Faiths demonic visage.

"There now deary, don't you just look so pretty, just like I knew you would." Dru spoke softly as a giddy smile consumed her features. Embracing Faith in a hug thinking that all was well when the younger girl held her back a purr of contentment left her throat as she held her daughter tighter.

Breathing in deeply holding the warm body close to her, Faiths eyes rolled in the back of her head as she opened her mouth wide and bit down savagely into the body she held. As the creature began to struggle against her, the young brunette held on tighter drinking till the woman she held went limp in her arms. Even then she could not stop her thirst. Stumbling as the body collapsed into dust in her arms Faith caught herself against a table, her face coming with in inches of a shimming black liquid where a blond stood. Cocking her head to the side as she starred down at the familiar looking blond, her guts twisted inside of her as she was reminded of her hunger.

Pushing off the table the brunette felt something crunch underneath her foot. Looking down to see what it was, pain began to fill her head as another memory intruded onto her thoughts. Huddling in a dark dank room against a dead body, holding a blond haired doll as she watched a blond male and brunette female fighting against a mob of people, both of them yelling at her to leave for a safer place as Faith just sat and watched. Falling to her knees with a hand around her throat dry heaving, the brunette coughed as she fell forward. The force of the memory making her sick to her stomach, a shudder of pleasure escaped her as the cool floor touched her fevered skin.

Forcing her body to stand on wobbly feet, she moved forward the force of her body mass crashing left and right against wall after wall leaving dents in the weakened plaster. Finally finding the door as it became harder for her to breathe the more time she spent in the tiny room Faith pushed against the rotten wooden door breaking it off of its hinges as she burst out into the pre dawning day, the night air caressing her exposed skin as she looked at the world with new eyes. And a new thirst.
