Elizbeth ran majestically. Her eyes focused on one thing and one thing only. Her eyes blue, shining like diamonds, Kiran could see his cowardly face reflecting upon her eyes. Her jawline was perfect before her transformation, but somehow it improved, Kiran thought. He seen the wrinkles had disappeared from her face, making her look 10 years younger, he felt jealous for a second. If it wasn’t for her grey skin, she’d look normal in the face, he thought. Her skin looked like it had been tightened to perfection. Her blonde hair now had silver highlights on them, he thought it suited her. Her lips remained the same: small, but shaped wonderfully, like they had been designed to be perfect. Though one thing that panicked him was her large claws, extended outwards like nothing he had seen. Kiran just could not handle seeing her teeth. One of many things that confused him was the fact of her wearing her wedding dress; it flowed downwards sumptuously as she ran towards him.

Elizbeth seen the fear in her husband’s eyes as she reached him. He put his hands up to defend his head. She thought, what a cowardly fool, as she sliced him with her claws. They struck him across the stomach, the cut was elongated and deep.

Kiran thought she was going for his death, but he couldn’t handle that thought. He felt helpless as she gripped onto his arm.

She pulled him to the ground, forcing him onto his knees, and digging her claws deeper into his arms. He screeched like a little bitch, she thought. Elizbeth shouted directly into his face, “kneel. I said kneel!! You will have a different perspective soon, I’ll try then.”

The pain in his arm was inhumane for him to feel; it was the only thing he thought about as he kneeled and stared at the ground. He hadn’t an idea on how long he would survive for, but he knew he had to, just for Danny’s sake. He looked into her eyes to see if she had any resemblance of her old self. Before he could, she threw him to the side like he was a piece of trash.

She moved her way towards him, Danny screamed out as she grabbed him by the throat and lifted him towards the ceiling. All he could hear was his dad shout, “leave my boy alone now!”

She pointed her finger at him, while calmly saying, “just stop. You have no right to speak to me like that. You’re only human after all.” She went back to staring at Danny, laughing at his fear.

Kiran sat there, feeling nothing but despair. He wasn’t ready to give everything to save Danny, but he knew he had to; he has one job. He took that passion, ran at Elizbeth, knowing what he had to do.

She seen him in the corner of her eye, turned her head, and screeched at him. he stopped instantly.

“If you come any closer, I will end your boy’s life.”

His face dropped, “you wouldn’t?”

She laughed manically, while grasping harder on his throat. Danny choked, while trying to speak, “mum… please mum….” His eyes looked into her eyes, and they matched. His hope was still there for her to turn to normal. But he seen that her eyes were now the devil’s eyes.

Elizbeth remained her eyes on Danny and said, “boy, if I was you, I would shut up; you need to keep your energy.”

Kiran seen the dread in his eyes, he could not take it any longer. He ran at her. She instantly dropped Danny to the ground, he was thankful she was bluffing. He was in great form as he ran quick for his weight. She turned to face him, desperately attacking him with her claws. He dodged her claws by sliding on his knees, and the wooden floor helped him a lot. He stopped, waiting for her next move, he thought it was a good idea if he went on the defensive; he knew the vampires were stronger, quicker and had more vigour.

“Oh, I see you have no weapon.” She immediately laughed. “And I feared you for a second, what a fool you are. I should end your life right this second, you’ll be useless. No doubt.”

He gritted his teeth in anger and lost his head. He went back on the offensive, swinging recklessly, hitting nothing but air. All he heard was her laughing hysterically at him, it made his face red as a tomato; although, he just feared that she could easily carve his face like a tomato.

She stopped his arms, grabbing both with one hand and her claws delved into his arms. Kiran screamed, instantly regretting going on the offensive, he had no idea on how he’d get out of this. She pulled him forward, using the momentum to throw him on his back, he fell hard on the wooden floor, he thought about staying down. Elizbeth grabbed him before contemplating it any further. She chucked him across the floor, and it burned his skin as he slid across the floor. He landed against the counter of the kitchen, he started to see two of everything.

He wouldn’t get up again, she thought, he never had much vigour. She laughed at him but stopped almost straight away. She realised that Danny had disappeared.

Danny could see her standing as he hid around the door of the playroom. He feared that she would find him. He feared she would kill him. Though, he noticed she didn’t hurt him when releasing him on the floor, he thought, she had time to kill him before his dad attacked her. He moved his head back behind the door and hid against the wall.

He thought about escaping out the window and running away for good. His courage kicked in, he walked towards the window, ready for his freedom.

Before he could even reach it, a hand touched his shoulder. The hand forced him to turn around. All he could see was her face smiling at him. He hated the long and pointy smile. Her eyes not moving an inch from his, he felt her strangeness; she was like a stranger to him.

Elizbeth shoved him out of the playroom, falling into the humungous dining table, the impact took a toll on his body. “If you hide from me again! I swear you will regret it. This is your second strike.” She seen the fear in her boy’s eyes, feeling thrilled by it, she laughed while staring into his eyes. “You will listen to me, boy! Wait, what are…?”

If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

Danny lifted himself up, ran to the stairs, and noticed his dad had gotten up from the kitchen counter. Danny wondered if he had run away. He made it to the bottom step without Elizbeth making any ground. He made a desperate attempt to run to his purpose. He made it halfway up the stairs, when he heard a wicked scream, “you better get down here now, and if you do, I won’t snap all your fingers!!” Danny felt the threat in his stomach and ran for the hills.

He hoped his plan would work. He spent way too much time setting everything up that would help him survive the vampires, he thought. Danny just didn’t think he’d be using it on his mother. He hated the thought.

“You’re at the top of the stairs already, well, must be all of them bullies that chase you.” Danny looked back, “yes, you coward, you’re always running away.” She stopped speaking and instantly started running after him.

He turned forward and grabbed a wire that was on the floor. He strapped the wire around a pin that was stuck into a wall, the wire trawled to his room, under the door and was connected to a weird contraption. Danny followed the wire that was running to his door.

Elizbeth’s feet moved fast, skipping most steps, as she moved majestically up the stairs. “Get back here you little shit!” She heard Danny’s door close and thought he was stupid. “What an idiot you are, now you’re trapped in there.” Elizbeth reached the door, opening it with frustration. As the door swung open, a grey thick smoke swarmed around her, making her senses weak. She screamed while trying to recover, “I’m going to slay you for that. That thick brain of yours! This is pointless; you’re trapped in the room with me.” She began coughing due to the smoke entering her lungs. Elizbeth howled in anger, but she heard footsteps behind her, that was out of the room. She turned her head, not seeing nothing but smoke.

Danny ran past the room while shouting, “you idiot, I’m not in there, I am here. What’s up? Can’t you see me?” Danny felt adrenaline like no other. He felt proud of himself. Though all he could hear was a drastic scream that roared through the house.

The roar followed him as he ran down the stairs. His eyes were only looking for his dad. He seen the garden door open.

As he got outside, his eyes seen Kiran leaving the garden. Danny spoke with pride, “what are you doing?”

Kiran heard his son’s voice. His face sunk as he realised how wrong he was. “I… I’m trying….”

“You’re running away from this family, what kind of coward are you?” Tears ran down Danny’s face, it hindered his speech, though he pushed through. “You were just trying to save me, what is up with you?”

Kiran put his head down, he could not take his son’s tears.

“I thought you are meant to be there for me, well clearly…”

Danny was interrupted by an excited voice, “oh, Danny, I can be there for you. and how great it is for you both to be here. I don’t want to be searching all day.”

Danny instantly thought about his favourite chemistry teacher. He taught Danny the most out of all his teachers, though he knew how awful some of the things he learned was. His crazy teacher always told him, “You’re a prodigy of chemistry, and that the army would employ me for a lot of money when you’re older.”

Suddenly, Danny grew the bravery to try one of his traps, but as he moved towards it, his mother grabbed him.

“Let him go, he is our son!”

Elizbeth chuckled to herself, “oh, but you can leave your son for death to get him. Now that’s hypocrisy!”

“You are really going to kill our son?”

Elizbeth stared into Kiran’s eyes, while holding Danny up by the back of his collar and screamed at him. The anger piled on her eyes. He seen her vicious fang show like it was meant to intimidate him, and he felt petrified. The drool dripped from her fangs and fell onto the ground. He could see blood stains on them, he thought she must have been busy. She waved Danny in the sky; he had no idea on how they’d survive.

Elizbeth erratically slammed Danny to the ground, his legs taking most of the impact, Danny winced as Kiran watched. She rushed Kiran, sucker punching him in the stomach, the force dropped him to the floor. But she instantly held him up, by his hair, gripping it like he was a ragdoll. He desperately thought about his escape.

Elizbeth licked the blood from his check, saying, “well, you haven’t got long!” she continued preaching at him, screaming with fury.

He went at her neck like a tie. He made no attempt to make his attack competent. She laughed and his eyes went down to the floor. He thought whether his live was well lived. He looked at Danny but could not see him. Kiran was happy to see that he had escaped.

Danny was confused to why she dropped him on the floor, though he thought it was more of a slam. He knew he needed to help his dad, he would need his dad, if he was to survive this nightmare. Danny knew he had to use his plan.

He lifted himself from the ground, making it to his contraption. It had a big button on the floor, that was connected to a wire. The wire travelled against the brick wall, going up to his room’s window. Above the window was a javelin with the wire connected to the bottom of the javelin. The javelin was stuck into the wall. He pressed the button with his foot, the button allowed pressure to build up against the javelin, that would make it fly.

Danny silently ran inside the house and into his room. As he looked out his window, he was glad to see they hadn’t moved. Danny hoped the poison would work; he placed a lot at the top of the javelin and preceded to aim the javelin at his mother’s body.

He closed one eye, leaving one open and hoped for the perfect shot. He thought about what he was about to do and didn’t think he had the courage to go through with it. Every seasoned memory came flooding into his head, the great times when he went to play-parks, beaches and most of all, the cinemas which he loved. But the second he seen his dad’s worried face, that brought Danny back into the world. He lifted the pole back in position, checked his aim, and he prepared to pull the lever.

A tear dropped onto his cheek. “Sorry mum!” The javelin took off like a rocket ship, swirling in the sky, and making the most of the wind. Danny watched the javelin as it headed straight for his mother’s chest.

The flying javelin punctured through her back as she turned around and it came out the other side. She fell straight to her knees, coughing a load of blood, that came with no stop. Kiran could see the pain in her eyes, he felt sorry for her, her pain didn’t bring no comfort, just sorrow. A greenie liquid coated the wound, and it burned through the wound. Elizbeth was trying to wipe it off.

Kiran couldn’t believe Danny had done this; he knew that Danny was talented but wasn’t aware of how capable he was. But Kiran thought about the consequences Danny would feel, if she died. He ran to her side, but as he did, she pushed him to her side and screamed at him. He ignored her.

She collapsed on the floor, landing gracefully on the floor but the javelin stopped her from laying on her back. He moved closer and spoke gently, “stop struggling, you’ll make it worse for yourself.” She pushed his hand back with force. “Please, babe. You’re strong, but surly you won’t make it if you fight.” She pushed his hand back again; however, this time was weaker. “I’m going to have to get this javelin out, babe. That greenie coat cannot stay there.”

She stared at him, fading in and out of consciousness. He began by sitting her up. He moved his hand towards the javelin, she wished to have the force to stop him. Kiran grabbed it, “prepare, babe.” He yanked it out without care, he couldn’t handle pulling it out slow. The javelin slid out like plug in a bath, but longer. The blood came thick and fast, spraying onto his face, it covered him from head to toe.

She instantly became dazed, seeing two of Kiran, she thought that was a nightmare on its own. Her head leaned back, and the sky began spinning. She fell unconscious.
