Breathing through my mouth only got me so far. I was drooling, my stomach spasming, my mind forcing me to feed. I could steadily hear their heartbeat’s rhythm thumping like a tease, calling to me. I focused on the main vein in their neck from behind. They didn’t suspect a thing. It would be so easy to bite into one of them but I had to keep stopping myself.
Use your will, Chastity! Fight the hunger!I couldn’t mess up my escape, not now. I was so close. Despite whatever new abilities I might have acquired from the change, I was still outnumbered.
When we finally exited the dungeon, the sun had already set.
The community looked at me like I was diseased.Little did they know how infected I was.I kept walking with my head down until out of my peripheral vision, I saw Angela and Gabriel kissing in the corner.
A low growl escaped my lips but I bit it back and swallowed it down. Greed's voice played through my head.Chastity, stay calm and be smart.
I walked right past them before they noticed me. When they did, they instantly ceased their activity to address me as if I didn’t just witness their betrayal.
“Girl, I'm so happy you're back. I missed you.”
She couldn’t be serious. She was the first to condemn me!
Both of them ran over to greet me… holding each other's hands. Wow. They truly did not care for how it affected me. They didn’t care at all. They were rubbing it my face, blatantly.
I inwardly chuckled. If only she knew what a piece of crap he was, worthless. She could have him because when I got out of here, I was going to find Lust and make sure his family took out Angela and Gabriel together.
I flashed a fake smile in response. “I'm so happy you guys found your way to each other. I always thought you two would make a great couple,” I gushed. I couldn’t ignite the anger of the community. This was trivial in the grand scheme of everything that had happened in my life.
Angela placed a hand over her chest in dramatics before answering. “Awe, youarethe best friend of all time.”
I might just have to kill her as my first meal.
“Girl, let me get a shower,” I told her. “Maybe afterwards, we can go out for some girl talk? I've really missed our talks more than anything.”
I watched with irritation as Gabriel told her how much he loved her before kissing her in front of me. It was a dangerous game they were playing.
With my new sense of hearing, I listened as their hearts raced with their public display of affection. They genuinely felt for one another. They had probably been seeing each other behind my back this entire time.I scoffed and no one noticed me. The men who escorted me had all gone back to their duties. The community was slowly separating since there wasn’t a show to entertain them.No one else was in line to be beaten today.
I left the area and headed back to my apartment. I didn’t miss the fact that no one noticed how healed I was from my beating. They were all blinded to whatever their brainwashed minds wanted them to see and believe. It felt foreign being back in my old space; it didn't feel like home anymore. I was no longer the human Chastity, daughter of Carl Potter, former leader of this resistance and human compound.
I was reborn.
I looked at the pictures of me and my parents but I felt nothing. That life was buried with my father’s death.
Another pang of hunger hit my gut, doubling me over to my knees. I heaved in heavy breaths trying to control it. The only thing that played in my mind in a loop was bleeding Angela dry.
She had always pretended to be my friend. I see that now. I clenched my fist together and got to my feet and punched the wall. My fist went straight through the plaster and I didn't feel any pain. This new found strength gave me an idea. I would make her suffer, maybe break her legs, and let her crawl, begging for mercybeforedraining the bitch dry.
ChapterTwenty-Four
CHASTITY
Asmile crept on my face as I searched for Angela. I could almost taste her blood on my lips. My fangs were aching but I had to keep holding myself back. Greed’s voice echoed in my mind. The gnawing in my gut pushed me forward as I searched for the traitors.
More than likely, Angela would be up Gabriel's ass and sure enough there she was, pretending to laugh at his corny jokes sitting around the garden. There wasn’t anyone else there but the two. Good.
“Hey Angela girl,” I called out. “Are you ready to go?” I waved in order to get her attention away from Gabriel. She looked to me in acknowledgement with her own wave before turning back to Gabriel and kissing him once more.
My acute hearing picked up Gabriel’s voice. “Don't trust her, she's been with the enemy. Plus, she may try to hurt you. Do you have your knife?”
The asshole. I never liked him anyway and now I knew why. They kept pretending to kiss for a few more moments, whispering to one another.
“I don't, but Brother White needs all the information she has so we can kill the entire clan of vampires like our god demands us to,” Angela replied.
I love these new vampire powers. Now it's time for the show.
