Staying in the Dark
Chapter one
John was a very tall man (if you could call him that) who never had any friends and always stayed to the shadows. He stalked his pray, jumping from roof to roof watching her walking on the street below of the city.
Her name was Molly and to look into a crowd she did not stand out, she was 5’2 and had an athletic body, with long dark hair. She wore jeans that hugged her legs going down into a pair of leather flat soled boots. For the top half she wore a warm woollen jumper and a long black cashmere coat that want all the way to her feet.
She had picked the coat because it was warm and soft as it brushed against her skin of her neck. As the coat brushed against her she could feel the two daggers up each sleeve on her body and the gun under her arm with another knife at her back.
As John looked down at her; he knew she could sense he was there following always staying to the shadows until he was ready to spring his trap on her. As the snow began to fall again she felt the vampire on the rooftops following her, getting closer and closer as he got braver. She just smiled as she mentally prepared herself for the fight to come.
She then sensed another vampire down a little close to her left and he was about to feed on a young blond woman. Molly ran down the close and as she came out into the courtyard at the end she saw the girl struggling as the vampire bit into her neck tasting the blood from the blond. Molly grabbed her knife from her left wrist and ran at the vampire. As she leaped into the air she felt something hit her from the back of her head.
Even though the blow stunned her, she was strong and did not let this put her off her attack. The vampire looked up and threw the blond to one side while trying to side step Molly. But he was too late as she landed on his chest and as the vampire went to grab her she sliced him through with her silver bladed dagger, cutting as deep as she could. The vampire started to fall to his knees as she fell to her feet beside him finishing the cut and killing him dead. She turned just in time to see another Vampire come down the close, maybe one of the biggest vamps she had ever seen. She then heard a whoosh sound as John jumped down from where he had been watching.
Molly went for her gun and shot at the vamp in the alley hitting him in the legs not hurting him badly but slowing him down. Before she could get a head shot off, John had moved lightning fast and knocked the gun from her hand. Keeping her cool she went for her second dagger as the vampire made it to the end of the close. He got ready to fight, moving his feet into a fighting stance and bring his hand up in a guard. He started to edge closer watching for her move as she started to try to get back into a corner so her back was not exposed to the two vampires and she could see them both.
John had moved to the left side only giving Molly the option to take a smaller close on her right as she tried to find some space to fight. As they both moved in together John was thinking that his plan could not be going better as he watched her edge towards the close where he wanted her. The vampire lashed out with a kick as his bullet wounds were now starting to heal up and he was gaining his strength. Molly suddenly felt the presence of another vampire above her head as she blocked the vampires kick and swiped his other leg out from under him causing him to fall to the ground. As she went to slice his head off to kill him suddenly she heard a whooshing sound of the other vampire jumping down from the tops of the roofs to the ground. Molly could not react fast enough to get out of the way and the vampire landed on her back knocking her to the ground. As Molly hit the ground the wind was knocked out of her and she dropped her dagger. John moved fast to kick the dagger away from the vampire slayer so she was now unarmed. Her only weapon left was a simple gold cross that she wore round her neck. Molly struggled to breathe as her lungs did not want to work with the weight of the vampire on top of her. As she started to black out she could feel the vampire’s fangs at her neck. “STOP” John commanded the vampire “I want her alive.” The Vampire stopped and with an unhappy look about him said “very well my lord”. As he stepped of her molly got to her hands and knees and started to fight to get air into her lungs, as it started to flow freely in and out, in and out. She jumped to her feel lashing out at John; he blocked it and kicked her legs out from under her. Then she felt something hard and metal hit the back of her head as she start to fall forward, John upper-cutting her in the jaw. She fell to the ground out for the count, trying to fight the blackness that was coming over her, telling herself that she could not let it happen. Molly could feel cuffs being put on her wrists as they weere secured behind her back and then the blackness came.
John wanted to be careful so he had his two vampire minions bind her legs and then place her inside a heavy-duty body bag that had some holes so she could breath. John suddenly heard a wheezing sound coming from the blond girl as she woke up as a vampire. He walked over and looking down at her, said “bloody mongrels” and then ripped her head off of the blond’s body. He then walked over to the fallen vampire looked at him and turned to his minions saying “He died with honour, now leave them hear for the sunlight to clean up and lets go”. He heard the usual “yes my lord” as they both talked together and followed him into the under ground streets of Edinburgh.
Molly woke up slowly with her head feeling like it was hosting an underground rave. Her vision blurred. She was not even going to attempt to stand as her head continued with the thump, thump, thump of the pain inside her skull. John was watching her from his office smiling since the vampires had never managed to catch one of the slayers in the three hundred years of his life. He watched on the monitor as Molly slowly tested her restraints and her look of panic when she discovered that she was naked.
John had two vampires go into the room and cuff her arms and legs as she was freed she leapt at the first vampire smashing his head into the wall, killing him outright as his skull caved in. The second vampire made a run to the door, but he could not get it open, as he turned to fight her felt a knee hit his balls, the room filled with screaming as the pain exploded inside of him. He fell to the ground clutching what was left of his manhood with tears running down his cheeks. Molly snapped his neck and the room suddenly went quiet. A bright UV light came on in the room and the two dead vampires just became dust. John smiled at the monitor thinking of the fun he was going to have breaking this warrior and making her his little plaything.
Molly was breathing quiet heavily from the fight as the UV lights were turned off. She looked round her prison and saw that it was very basic, a toilet that did not flush, a shower that did not work and a bed with no mattress--just a wooden board. Then she saw two weird things sticking out of the wall that where shaped like dildos. One was blue and had water written above it the other was black and had food written above it.
She suddenly heard a voice come over a speaker, as John talked into the microphone from the comfort of his leather chair. He said “I hope you have enjoyed your stay so far. You will be punished later for killing my two guards”. Suddenly she heard a buzz and the ground started to shock her as she jumped from tip toe to tip toe making her way to her bed for safety just as she was about to step on it spikes came though holes in the wooden board making it impossible to stand on. The shock continued for what felt like a life time to Molly but was only about ten minutes before john hit a switch and they stopped. She was exhausted but the spikes still covered her mattress so she could not lie on it and was to afraid to lie on the floor in case she got shocked again.
John hit the switch on the microphone and started to talk again “that was the lowest setting bitch. If you do anything stupid I will turn it up next time be warned. Now I am sure you have had a good look around your cell looking for an escape. Let me tell you there is not one. The door to that room is a double air lock with a vacuum in the middle and both air locks are kept flooded. The walls are all solid steel with reinforced concrete behind them and to help you out if you try to escape we will release a gas into the room that will knock you out.” Molly looked at the camera and said “Fuck you! My friends will rescue me”. At that moment a shock ran though the floor that knocked Molly off of her feet. As she got back to her feet she could hear John talking again “think what you will for you are mine now to do with was I like. I saw you trying to flush the toilet and turn the shower on. These are privileges that you will have to earn. Do I make myself clear? The two dildos that stick out from the wall are where you will get your food and water from. All you have to do is put them deep in your mouth and suck, but if you do not put them deep enough nothing will come out”. Laughing, John finished with “I hope you enjoy your stay.” The speaker went dead and Molly was left alone again.
Molly used the toilet then went over to her bed and lay down to try and get some sleep. She knew she would need her strength to survive this. As she slowly drifted off to sleep tears slowly rolled down her face as she knew would not be taken back by the slayers after being captured in case the vampires had messed with her mind. She thought of her boyfriend Patrick and how much she loved him. How he took her in his arms and hugged her and kissed her softly each night when she came home. She loved the fact that he respected her beliefs of waiting til marriage and he had agreed to that himself. As she drifted off she could hear the last words he said before she had left the flat. “Be strong, I love you”. Molly found a dark and dreamless sleep that night as she wondered how her life was going to change.
