Slave Blood: Chapter 3

Chapter 3 is the third chapter of the vampire novel Slave Blood.

Chapter 3
The next subject of the day was ‘History of the Founders’ or Monster Studies as it was called by the students. It was taught by no other then a monster itself: Mrs. Kaylynn Piersall. Not looking a day older than us, she acted like she owned the town. I know I said the vampires did own the town but not her. She was just a servant. The real owner and the most dangerous of the vampires was Eliezer, Jovan’s elder brother.

Even thought I often threatened to tell Eliezer about Jovan’s doing. I hoped I never had to really do so. He was a very scary monster. Never coming out of the mansion of the monsters, never showing himself. No one knew what he looked like.

He was probably a lot similar with both Jovan and Mrs. Piersall. Pale skin. Blood red eyes. Fangs. Maybe he had the same blonde hair as Jovan? I mean they were brothers. Or maybe he was completely the opposite of Jovan?

“Miss Plair!”, Mrs. Piersall loudly said while smashing the history book into the table right in front of me, “I do not tolerate any daydreaming in my classes. Am I clear?”Cold as ice. She did not even blink once while speaking. Any humanity ever to have existed was now long gone.Just as I was about to answer, she got a faraway look in her eyes. Like she was in another world.

“You are expected. And you better hurry for the sake of your sister.”, her fangs showed in the dark smile she send me. Every cell inside me froze. Did she.. If she was telling the truth then the monsters had Lily! #

I opened the door to the classroom without worrying about the lecture.

“Have you seen Lily?”, I asked the first year students. No answer. I ran to the next door in the hall. So far Lily was not in her class and no one had seen her since lunch. My heart was pounding so fast it hurt and I felt like it was stuck inside my throat. The monsters could not have taken her. They just could not!

Right?

I was not so sure anymore. She was no longer at school and Lily would never skip classes without telling me first. She was a model pupil for gosh sake!

With eyes full of fear I looked out the nearest window. At the highest hill in town where the mansion of the monsters were build. It could be seen from everywhere in town.

“Are you up there, Lily?”, I asked myself.
