An Adolescent Vampire
Chapter 10
"Let's just hope Bryce will spare his daughter torture." Corona smirked worriedly.
She put us in handcuffs and dragged us into a room.
"Sire! I found these two fugitives in the hall! They murdered Xavier!" Corona called.
"What?! My son! Who did this?!" Bryce screamed, I faintly saw a flash of red eyes.
"It was Jacob and Haine! Their after Maximillion I suppose." Corona gave Jake a slight hard kick. Bryce stood up.
"Haine?" He whispered. I scowled up at my father.
"Hello father." I sneered.
"You're a vampire now?!" he breathed.
"So what if I am?! Where's Maximillion?!" I screamed. Corona glared at me.
"Let me do the talking." she told me through her eyes, then she kicked me.
I winced.
"We know you're not the real king father! And I am not the princess! Maximillion is king!" I screamed. Corona kicked me again.
"You don't know how to shut up do you?!" she snapped.
"That's enough! Take them to the dungeon Corona! Angelus, go with them. Make sure none of them make a break for it." Bryce growled. I sighed. I saw a man with long silver hair and purple eyes walk up with a gun.
"Move you rats!" he kicked us hard, I yelped. Jake and I stood up and trudged along after Corona and Angelus.
"Get someone to clean up this mess Corona. I'll take them to the dungeon myself."
Angelus growled looking at Xavier's dead body that was now beginning to rot.
"Someone else can take care of it." she sneered.
"Do it now Corona! That's an order!" Angelus yelled. Corona looked at us then ran.
Angelus looked at us, and smiled. "It's about time she left. Now you two are all mine." he smirked.
"Release us please Angelus! You don't understand! Bryce is the bad guy! He's going to kill the real king!" I pleaded. Angelus turned and walked up to me until or noses were practically touching. I looked into his eyes.
"I know that." he whispered. I was taken by surprise.
"What?"
"I know that Bryce isn't the king. I've hated him ever since I laid my eyes on him. I was planning on killing him myself, but then I would be kicked out of the pack.
So, when I heard you two talking to Corona, I made up my mind to help you.
You may not believe me, but I don't want Maximillion to die." Angelus smirked.
"Really?" Jake asked. Angelus nodded.
"I'll take you to him." he released us of our cuffs.
"Thank you Angelus." I smiled.
"Call me Angel." he smiled.

"Max!" I cried when Angel opened the door and I saw him. He was chained to a bloodsplattered wall by his wrists. He was covered from head to toe in blood, he had red scars all over him from where they whipped him, and he was dreadfully pale. His body was all swollen and bruised. I slowly walked over to him. The smell of blood made me wince, but I walked up and stood beside him. "Max?" I whispered. His weary eyes fluttered open, and his yellow eyes looked into mine.
They were full of anger, fright and worse of all, I saw no soul in them.
Only a cold blank stare. "Max, you remember me don't you?" I whispered. I reached up to touch Max's cheek, but he flinched away from me.
"Don't touch me! Don't hurt me anymore!" He sneered, small tears forming.
"Max! It's me! Haine! I'm not going to hurt you! I'm here to get you out of this."
I whispered calmly. Max flinched again as I went to touch him, but then looked into my eyes.
"Haine?" he whispered. I nodded and to my relief, Max smiled. Then burst out into tears. "It was torture Haine! I couldn't stop them! They kept hitting me! And whipping me! It was horrible!" He cried.
"Maximillion, calm down. We're here now, you're gonna be okay. Angleus, can you get him out of these chains?"
He nodded, walked over and somehow, Max fell to the ground and instantly wrapped his arms around me.
"I was so scared...." he whispered. I hugged Max back as he cried into my hair.
He was acting like a five year old.
"Don't worry Max, we're here now. We'll get you out of here." Jake said.
"Don't count on it." a voice said. We spun around to see Bryce standing at the door, sword in hand, and eyes filled with anger and bloodlust.
