''You have to escape!'' A female face rushed at October in her dream."Who are you?" October asked, trying to run after her, but found that she was stuck in one place."Leave, you have to go!" The female said.Even though she tried to hide, October could still see that she was covered in blood and crying."You have to leave, please. I'm begging you to leave. Take me with you when you do,'' She cried, holding onto October's hand.''How do I leave?'' October asked.''The gate, the gate, is the key. The key is in the rose garden. Leave the gate open when you go, they all have to escape. Help us, save us.'' The voice faded in and out.''But, I can't go there,'' October responded."Yes, you can. They aren't always watching. Escape and take me with you,'' The voice said before fading. October looked around the clouded space, not able to see an inch before her face. She spun around in a panic, wondering how she got there and how to leave. Until an almost deafening buzzing sound rang out in
Alistair made a rumbling sound. "Very well, Lore-beings have been around for a long time, some say that we were around before humans, and when the pests came into existence, they waged war on us that's when the fates decided to make the different dimensions.""Why do you hate humans so much? Wait, that means you hate me too." October sat up and backed away from him."The gods and fates forbid us from interacting with humans at first, but then a god, who plays entirely too much, made a Lorean find his other half amongst them. It is very rear though, but possible. Like with us. And it's not that I hate humans, but I just can't stand them and their 'superiority'. They have this disgusting God complex, thinking that they are smart, when really it is us that get involved with them come up with the idea they have now. We are far more advanced than them. They only have our spoils when we are done and have moved onto the next.""Wow, that's a mouth full.""You asked."October yawned, then loo
A small scream escaped October's lips while she dreamt, as she kicked her legs in her sleep, trying to fight off an invisible enemy."No, get away," she mumbled.Seeing this, Alistair got off his chair to make his way over to her. He stared down at her for a while, watching as the frowned with a deep crease between her brows."October! October, it's okay, it's okay." Alistair said, untangling her from the sheets.Her eyes sprung open, then she pulled at her clothes, feeling hot and sticky. She was drenched in sweat and breathing hard."He killed-" she sobbed, not finishing what she had to say.''It was only a dream," Alistair said softly."But... but it seemed so real, they were camping and then he... all of them are dead." October shook her head, pulling away from him. "It was real. That vampire killed them. Maybe you just don't care because we all are humans." She added."You humans or not, what you saw wasn't real.""I know what I saw in my dreams, and they never lied to me before.
"Who are they?" October tried to whisper, but it seemed as if everyone had heard her."Most of them are the vampire council, well, the new vampire council." Alistair said. His voice held something that October couldn't quite put her finger on."Vampires have councils, and what do you mean new?'' She questioned.Alistair practically snarled at her. "Just stop asking questions! You are nothing but a dumb human and won't understand, even if I break it down for you in baby talk."October frown her brows, not understanding the reason behind his sudden hostility.'Maybe I was from last night?' She questioned herself."That guy in the back is staring at me.'' October felt uncomfortable under his gaze, plus the cockily smirk he wore, set her nerves on end."Because he can. You are nothing but a human food. In fact, you are nothing to us,'' Alistair hissed.October frown deepened, causing her to step away from Alistair."You are you a-''Before she could get anything else out, Alistair had her
October breathed hard, trying to get her racing heart rate under control. She could still see the way they were looking at her, the hunger in their eyes.Out of anger, she hit her fist against the wall. Thinking that there has got to be a way out, she hated the castle more and more every day. And she was having mixed feelings towards Alistair. He hated her, but she could feel herself falling in love with him. Which was odd because of how he was treating her.Tears formed in October's eyes as a knot of homesickness twisted in her stomach. She let the tears flow at that, thinking about her life back home, wondering if anyone was looking for her.Wondering if Daniel cared that she was gone? Or how her friends felt, especially Gem, and what of her family? Did they give up on searching for her? Or maybe they are distracted, still searching?"Do any of them miss me?" October asked herself before letting her head hung, as sobs rocked her body.She missed the way Victoria used to tease her, o
After crying and pacing the room, talking to herself. October ripped the dress from her body before changing into something more comfortable. (The pair of jeans, pink blouse and black sneakers that were left out for her.) Again, it shocked her to see how well they knew her size."I need to leave," October said, then groaned because she knew that there was no way out.She sighed, then walked over to the balcony to look up at the sky, noticing that the Sun was high, which meant that it was midday."Why can't my life just be normal? Better yet, why didn't I just died that day? It would have been so much easier.'' After getting bored with standing on the balcony and just staring out, October turned away to her room, where she took up the map and stared at it. "Well, at least I can roam the place." October said to herself. Pushing the piece of paper into her back pocket, then went out of her room and down the stairs, where she found a door that led outside.October looked behind her befo
After trying the door handle several times, October realized that Alistair had really locked her in the room."Please let me out," October plead, doubting anyone could hear her.She banged on the door several times. "You said I could go anywhere, so why lock me in here? I don't even see the point of that stupid garden. Roses for Rose are just dumb."October sighed."Please let me out," October said again, before leaning her head on the door.Soon she gave up on her pleas, because she knew that the cruel vampire wouldn't take pity on her. And she was sure that if she kept up with the begging, then Alistair would appear to hurt her."Just want to go home." October held in head in her hands, fighting off tears. "If not, at least allow me more freedom. Without anyone always following me around."Just then, October looked over to the balcony when she felt a warm breeze blowing in. It was still open.A thought came to her mind, so she quickly hurried over to it. Then looked down to see how
"October, wake up, you need to wake up," a voice mumbled. "Remember, you have to make your escape.""Who are you?" October asked. She tried to see the face of the female who was speaking to her but she whatever reason, she was hiding her face."Someone who needs to leave as well. Please, go through the gate and leave it open for us.""Us?" October questioned."Me, leave the gate open for me so I can leave."In her sleep, October was laughing, which started the servant, who was placing food on the table beside her bed."Do you think I'm an idiot? I won't leave any gates open for you, and I suggest that you leave my mind. I can tell that you are no good.""He will kill you.""Don’t worry about me. I will get out of here myself. I don't need you. Now leave." October waved her hand, which in turn caused the hand of her physical form to move as well.When October woke up, she had a throbbing headache and found the sunlight to be too bright. She looked around the room, but Alistair was nowh
