Chapter 2

My dead heart clenched tightly at just the feel of his cool breath on my neck. His voice alone unhinged all sense of preservation and reason, and suddenly I felt as if I were made of air. Light, free, blissful...Things I didn't think were possible for me now. His hold around my waist loosened but he didn't let go. Instead, he pulled me in closer to his chest so that my back was pressed up against him. I froze as I felt him lean in, and stopped breathing all together when his lips brushed against my neck. Glancing to the side, I attempted to get a look at this stranger, but all I could see was disheveled bronze hair. It was then that I realized my own hands had found purchase on top of his, keeping his arms against my waist. I quickly dropped them and straightened my stance, trying to shift away. A soft growl rebounded against my back and my eyes widened. The man pulled me closer to him and wrapped his arms possessively around mine. What the fuck was going on? My body itched to lunge forward and run from him, but I couldn't deny that I subconsciously was exhilarated with the feel of his touch. However, all this was forgotten at the sound of Bree's shrill cry of agony.

My head snapped in the direction of the cry and I found myself struggling in vain to rush towards her. I had let this stranger distract me from what truly needed to be done. I wasn't here to play any games; I just wanted someone to end it already. But first, I needed to ensure my friends safety. She needed to live, she deserved it. "Bree!" I screamed across the clearing, "No! Leave her alone!" The hands wrapped around my torso, restraining me, and I subconsciously heard the man speaking with haste. I wasn't paying attention. My eyes were watching the scene in front of me. "Dammit, let go of me!" I clawed at his hands and elbowed his chest with enough force to make him stumble backwards. My legs were already a blur as I raced off towards the tall blonde vampire who had my only friend in a head lock, posing to tear her limbs apart. Bree's frantic eyes searched the field and I silently questioned where the hell Diego could be. Her eyes locked on mine and for a second I saw hope flit back into her shinning red orbs. But then the blonde vampire lifted his hands and struck down, decapitating her right in front of me. "NO!" I shrieked, anguish tearing at me and threatening to take me to my knees. A choked sob escaped my lips and my hand flew to my mouth. The blonde vampire looked at me in shock, but I was already charging him. A terrifying growl of fury erupted from deep within me as I lunged at him, knocking us both to the ground.

All I saw was red as I swung violently at the male. I had quickly devised a new plan. Kill him in vengeance for Bree, and then allow his coven members destroy me once I was done. However, he ended up gaining the upper hand as he flipped our positions and planted me firmly against the grass, gripping my shoulder like a vice. My nails dug into his hard flesh and I tried to push him away. It didn't work, he was far too strong. Instead I snapped at him, managing to bite into his left bicep. He hissed in pain and hastily locked down on my shoulder and in the next second, ripped my arm from its socket. My mind froze when I saw my detached limb in his hands before the pain rippled through me and I cried out. I knew it was all over now.

I turned my head to the side and to allow the vampire to finish me off. I lazily scanned the field, seeing things for the last time as if had never truly noticed them before. I guess I had a decent life, and I can only hope for the best for what's to come. Heaven or Hell, I'd try to at least do something with myself. All I needed now was for the vampire to―

Suddenly, he was knocked off me with such force that he flew across the clearing and skidded into a boulder. It all seemed to happen in slow motion. The vampire coven around me all stopped what they were doing and looked in my direction, eyes wide with disbelief. My hand slowly crept up to my neck and felt along for any cracks. My eyes were wide with fear and my body trembled slightly. I had been so close to death...I practically saw it.

But then I heard a long, deep growl emit from above me. I slowly glanced up and watched in silence as the bronze haired vampire knelt over me protectively, his arms spread slightly and his body low in his predatory crouch. My breath caught in my throat at the sight of him. He had to be the most beautiful creature I had ever laid eyes upon. He was tall and muscular with a strong build and a face that could rival the statue of David...maybe even Adonis. His eyes were onyx black, and his teeth were bared. I noticed a few newborns back away slightly. His furious stare landed on the male who had almost been deemed my murderer. His velvety voice, once soft with concern and comfort, had taken on a dark and menacing tone when he spoke, "Don't you ever touch her again."

And as if things couldn't get stranger, the unthinkable happened.
