True Vampire
Dante






I slowed down the car as we got to the entrance of the Black Cedar Estate. The Black Cedar's home was this private estate at the edge of the city built by my father. It was registered under the government, but it was a private estate and no one knows that it is actually a pack full of werewolves.




One security guards at the gate came forward and he looked into the car through the window before regarding me with a nod and signalling to his partners to open the gate.




The gate slowly opened as it was open widely enough, I drove in slowly before increasing the speed again and drifting to the road on the left that led to the main pack mansion.




"I'll make sure that I get it out of that Vampire in the most gruesome way possible," I replied and looked up to see that we were nearing the main pack mansion.




"I am going to make him wish that he wasn't the one who survived," I said and slowed down the car, packing before the building of the main pack mansion.




I immediately retrieved the car key and I opened the door, climbing down and shutting the door.




As I walked up to the front porch, the door of the mansion opened and Lillian walked out.




"I had him taken to the interrogation room," Killian said and I nodded, walking past him into the mansion.




I hurriedly walked to the interrogation room and as I got there, the guards at the door regarded me with a nod and opened the door. I walked in immediately and I looked up to see a man chained by the neck and waist to a silver pole.




His torso was naked and there was dried blood all over his body, but there were no scars or marks. He must have been injured and tortured, but Vampires heal almost three times faster than Werewolves so he must have healed.




His head was bent and he was facing the floor that was covered in blood. His skin was also so pale and he looked so weak.




"I was told you wanted to speak to me," I was and I stretched out my hand. I was handed a sharp silver sickle shaped by one of the men in the room and I took slow little steps towards the Vampire prisoner.




As I got close to him, I stopped walking and I reached for his jaw with my left hand. I slowly raised up his head and his eyes were swollen and closed.




"I'm here now so don't waste my time," I said, still holding on to his jaw, but his eyes remained close and he didn't move his lips.




I suddenly let go of his jaw and I began to use the blade in my hand to cut through his chest.




He winced in pain as I slowly cut him, but he began to scream as I cut deeper into his chest and he finally opened his eyes.




"You know, I didn't expect to torture anyone else today, but I'm not going to turn down an opportunity to torture your kind," I said and watched as his blood dripped down the tip of his face.




"So tell me, why were you and your partners here?!" I asked in a threatening tone and I grabbed his jaw roughly again, raising his head.




"He........he...." His lips quivered as he stuttered. He looked like he was scared to say or do everything he was doing, but he has to do it.




"What is it?" I asked fiercely.




"He..... He asked me to send you a message," the Vampire replied and I faced Nathan who also looked curious to hear what the Vampire had to say.




I was actually more interested in who could make this Vampire do something so dangerous.




"Speak!" I yelled at him as I was really getting curious.




"He asked me to tell you that he's awake," the Vampire replied and I raised my eyebrow.




"Awake?"




"Yes."




"He asked me to tell you that he is back and he's going to make you pay for everything you've done," he continued and I looked around in confusion. What was he talking about. Who was back and why did he want me to pay.




"What are you taking about?" I asked, already getting too confused and paranoid.




"Answer me!" I shouted at him in anger.




"He asked me to tell you that he'll watch you and everyone you love burn and.......and that you'll fall on your knees and kiss his feet, begging him," he added and I stumped my right foot on the ground in anger.




"Who, who is he?" I asked the Vampire and grrabbed his jaw once again.




"I....I...." He stuttered, his lips quivering and fear written all over his face.




"Tell me, who is he?" I shouted and swiftly used the blade in my hand to diagonally slice through his already healing torso.




He screamed in pain, raising his head up.




"I......I... can't," he replied with his lips quivering and he was beginning to sweat profusely.




"What do you mean you can't?! Don't test my patience!" I yelled at him angrily, pointing the blade at him in threat.




"I can't tell you who it is, he said I can't do that," he replied, panting and I muttered a silent, "what?!"




"Tell m-" Before I could finish talking, he suddenly pulled my hand and made me stab him in the heart with the silver blade.




I let go of the blade in suprise and I watched as the Vampire skin became completely pale and his veins became black.




I glanced at Nathan and Killian and the two of them looked equally shocked.




"What is he talking about?" I asked in anger and pulled the blade out of the Vampire, stabbing him in the heart again.




"He didn't look like he wanted to do this," Nathan said and I looked up at him.




"Yes, he looked like he was being forced," Killian stated and he rested his palms on his waist, "like....like....."




"Like he was compelled," I said and glanced at the Vampire in confusion.




"Vampire naturally have the power of compulsion and they can't be compelled," I said and then looked up at Nathan as I realized something.




"Unless.... Unless...." I stuttered as I thought of the only possible explanation for this.




"It's a True Vampire."
