Chapter 26: Surprise "As long as Hugo's out, he won't be able to activate the sleeping pills." the Dark Dragon smiled as Alexis and I ran through the corridors of the complex. "Ouch!" I turned around. There was a dented pipe on the ceiling and Alexis was on the floor, rubbing her head. "Watch where you're going next time." the Phoenix remarked as I helped her up. Suddenly, a cold shill ran through me. Alexis froze. "Did you feel that?" she asked. I nodded and quickly pressed her against a wall as a cloaked figure appeared out of nowhere in the middle of the corridor. "The air...... Something's not right." Jakito whispered. The cloaked figure turned towards the shadowed area where Alexis and me were hiding. "No need to hide, I can see you. Clear as day." a strange hollow sound came from the figure. I stepped out of the shadows calmly, grasping the Archaeion tightly. "Who're you?" I asked. The figure threw its cloak off. "What the......" Alexis spluttered. A beautiful young woman stood in front of us. She was wearing a black skintight suit and her short hair was swept back neatly behind her head. Light from a lamp reflected off a shiny pair of black boots and a pendant decorated her neck. What was really shocking was her teeth. Two pointed razor-sharp teeth poked out from her upper lip. A vampire! "I am Fiona. I suppose you know William?" the woman smiled, exposing her incisors. Alexis's eyes widened in horror and she shuddered. "William was the one that turned me into a vampire by the way." Fiona smiled and took a single step forward. She opened a flap on her chest, exposing it, and a bite mark. She then closed the flap and placed her right foot behind her, taking a position to make a jump forward. I braced myself. "Now, I'll turn you into one!" she winked and made the jump. I raised the Archaeion in front of me and prepared to block, but Fiona put her feet down at the last second to stop and quickly sidestepped me. "What?" I stared at her in disbelief. "You're mine." she said and opened her jaw...... I quickly bashed her on the back with the Archaeion, but it appeared to be a bad move as her head flew closer to me. "Nice one." Fiona remarked and sank her teeth into my shoulder. Time seemed to freeze for a moment. "YEEEOOOWWW!!!!!!" she screamed and backpedaled. I looked at my shoulder. An armour plate had materialized on my shoulder. "Vampire-proof." Jakito smiled. Something was wrong though. I suddenly felt agitated. I put a finger to my mouth, fearing the worst. "Oh no......" I breathed. Two sharp fangs had sprouted out from my mouth! "Don't worry. The armour just absorbed the magic from that vampire. You'll have those teeth for a few hours until the magic is completely assimilated." Jakito reassured me. The stunned Alexis had now come back to her senses and was staring at my new teeth. "You're a......" I felt a craving for blood all of a sudden and stared at Fiona. Her fangs had broken off and she was on the ground, coughing. I slowly walked towards her. "Whad...... You're going do....... No...." she spluttered. I bent down to her eye-level. "If I did durn you indo a vambire, you shoulb be unber ma condrol now!" she shrank back. A voice in my head was urging me to open my mouth and bite her. "Don't! If you bite her, you'll stay a vampire forever!" the Phoenix yelled. I opened my mouth...... Someone got me into an armlock and pulled me back. I glared back and saw Alexis, face red with determination. "Stop it!" she shouted. I tried to break free, but she was holding me too tight. "Do you want to be a real vampire!?" she continued. My eyes widened in horror and she let go. I slumped to the floor. "Thanks, Alexis......" I breathed. "You saved me......." Fiona whispered. "I wasn't saving you, I was saving her." Alexis pointed at me. We tied Fiona up with some spare cables and walked off. "Are you sure we should leave her like that?" Alexis asked. I nodded and accidentally walked into a wall. "I feel a bit woozy..." I admitted, massaging my head. "Normal for someone who just got bitten by a vampire. Remember, don't bite anyone." Jakito said grimly. I tipped my fangs nervously. "I think we're in a bit of a situation here." Alexis nudged me and pointed forwards. |
