An Adolescent Vampire
Chapter 11
We spun around to see Bryce at the door, sword in hand and eyes filled with anger and bloodlust. I felt Max flinch at the sight of him, and his heart began to race....
or was that mine?
"Which one of you murdered my son?!" he growled. He was looking at Jake.
"I was the one father. I killed Xavier." I announced.
"No Haine!" Jake whispered. I ignored him. Bryce looked at me in shock.
"You? But he was your brother!" Bryce snapped.
"And an evil one at that! I am glad I killed him, and I know you are not the king and I will kill you too if I must!" I said. To my surprise, Bryce was shocked for a second, then a deep growl arose from his chest. He gripped his sword.
"Let's see what you got." He sneered. My heart pounded as I awaited Bryce to charge at me. Then, it all happened quickly. I saw Bryce run at me, sword aiming towards my chest. I screamed then suddenly, blood came oozing down the blade.
I looked up and saw the sword going straight through Jake!
"No.....Jake!" I gasped. He coughed up blood and looked into Bryce's eyes before attempting to pull out the sword.
"I'm never letting you hurt or touch Haine! You monster!" Jake growled.
Bryce yanked the sword out of Jake and blood came shooting out of his shoulder like a damaged river dam. I covered my eyes and screamed as I heard Jake fall to the floor. As I looked at the one I love lying face down in his own blood, a feeling came over me. It was of hatred and sheer loathing! I looked up at the man I once called "father".
"I'll kill you!" I screamed standing up and releasing Max.
"Haine, no! He'll kill you!" Angel screamed.
"Angel, I'm not scared of dieing. We all die eventually. And if I die here, then that's just how it's gonna be. Take Jacob away from here Angelus. For me, bring him somewhere safe. I'll find you one way or another, dead or alive. Just go!"
I said looking at Bryce. Angel hesitated, but grabbed Jake and ran out the door.
I looked at Max. He was cowering in the corner. I wouldv'e asked Angel to take him as well, but it would slow him down, and I want Jake to be safe.
"Why are you doing this Haine? You know you can't win." Bryce sneered.
"It doesn't matter if I live or die Bryce, what matters is you die!" I sneered.
I knew that due to me being defenceless, this battle would end really soon. And I knew Max would most likely get killed after I am, but I'm not going down without a fight. "I love you Jacob." I whispered and I ran at Bryce. He easily blocked me punch and sent me flying into the bloodsplattered wall. The impact took the breath out of me. "What am I doing?! I can't fight him!" I thought. I looked up at him as he walked forward. "Just kill me and get it over with, I cannot fight you." I admitted.
Bryce looked down at me.
"I cannot kill you eithar." He whispered. I looked up at him. For a second, I thought I saw the old Bryce in his eyes. "Even though you are my enemy now, you are still my first born daughter." he picked me up by the arms and hung me by my wrists in the chains Max was in. "I'm dissapointed in you Haine. I didn't want you to get involved with the vampire world."
"I wouldv'e been involved with it one way or another. I love Jacob." I whispered and winced as I felt the chains cut into my wrist. Bryce scowled. Then he turned to Max. I watched in horror as he ran over and kicked Max hard in the gut.
"Leave him alone!" I begged.
"It's eithar him or Jacob, Haine! One of them must die tonight!" Bryce yelled.
He gripped his sword and swung it at Max. I closed my eyes tightly, knowing that Max was too injured to battle, I awaited for the strike that would end Max's life.
The scream never came. I slowly opened my eyes to see that Max had his hand clamped on the blade, cutting deeply into his hand and blood dripping down it.
"Haine came all this way to save me...... I'm not dieing here!" He yelled. Then, it was if Max was reborn! He was so fast! He spun around and kicked Bryce hard in
the neck as he punched and stabbed his hand through Bryce all in the same second!
Bryce yanked Max's hand out of him and began sliceing his blade at Max with hypnotic speed and grace. To my amazement, Max was blocking every swing, even though with every step, more blood poured out onto the floor.
The battle continued and I noticed Max was getting tired.
"Oh no.... Max!" I whispered. Then I yelped as Max collapsed to the floor, panting heavily. "Maximillion! Get up! Please! Don't you dare die on me!" I screamed. He looked up at me with squinted eyes, then as Bryce went to stab him he rolled and just missed the sword.
I looked down at me feet to see if there were anything I could get out of these with, then I saw a dagger! It was Max's!
"Max! Stand up!" I screamed. It was as if we were one, Max stood up instantly and ran to me. He noticed the dagger and grabbed it. He looked at Bryce for a second, then looked into my eyes.
"Goodbye, Haine." he whispered, a single bloody tear falling down his cheek.
"What?! No! NO 'goodbye'! No!" I gasped. Then without one word, Max spun around and ran at Bryce. Bryce ran at Max, and both had their weapons aiming at each other's hearts. I closed my eyes as I heard the impact. I slowly opened my eyes and screamed, tears falling down my cheeks. Bryce's sword was sticking out of Max's back, and I couldn't see Bryce. Then the both fell to the floor, none of them moving. I struggled in the chaines, screaming. Suddenly Corona ran in and freed me. I ran to Max. The sword was perfectly located in his chest. My heart raced. I looked at Bryce, who was dead. Max stabbed him i the middle of his heart.
He was pale and back to his normal self. Reddish-brown hair and blue eyes.
He was my old father again. Then I heard a gasp. I spun around. Max was coughing up blood. "Maximillion!! You're alive!!!" he pulled the sword out of him, then looked up at me.
"I.....told......you......I....wasn't.....gonna....die here." he whispered and smirked at me. Corona leaned down.
"We have to take him to Victor. Jacob is there with Angel now, and we need to get Maximillion treated before he dies on us." Corona said. She picked Max up.
He was so limp.
"Haine?" He whispered.
"Yes, Max?"
".........Thank you......" he whispered.
I smiled and kissed his cheek.
"Just don't die on me." I whispered.
