Vampire Shadows
Chapter 35

"Heather, my name's Heather." The hot model girl said.

"What the heck are you doing here, how did you get in, who sent you, what have you read about the stone," Max said pushing her to the wall, he put his hands around her neck tightly.

Someone is back to his senses

"Le_ t g__oo pleas_e" she said, barely audible, her face was turning grey from the suffocation. That's how tight max was strangling her neck. Wow, who would believe he was ogling at her a few minutes ago?

"Answer me!"

"I don't think she can with the way you are strangling her." I chipped in.

He let go of her, realizing that she really couldn't talk. She fell on the floor and tried to catch her breath. She was panting heavily. She was still looking weak.

"Answer!" Max said and this time, it was loud it felt as if the wall was going to break. *I wish it could.*

"I'm Heather, a member of the destroyed white coven. I'm here in search of the stone of light." There wasn't fear in her voice even though it sounded weak. She sounds like a robust, confident woman. And the only reason she was abiding by us was that she isn't strong at the moment.

"You are working for the prince?" Josh asked.

"Excuse me, huh the prince wishes." She spat.

"Then who are you working for?" Josh inquired.

"Do I look like a side kick to you? Who would work for someone" she laughed bitterly.

If you ask me, the answer is no, she looks like a boss, a damn boss. She looks like the prince would work for her.

"I work for myself, now if you'll excuse me, I need to replace a way out of here before I starve once again. Thanks, again for the blood, it tasted horrible, but at least it did the trick." She stood up and left us standing there like fools. Sincerely, I'm amused. I love bad-ass girls.

"Did she just say my blood tastes horrible!" "Yeah, don't take it personally, you're a half-vampire, so your blood wouldn't taste as good as normal humans or animals." Josh said reassuringly.The model came back a few minutes later.

"Are you guys just going to stand there, we need to replace a way out else we are going to all starve to death. On the other hand, maybe suck your human friend dry." Did she just talk about drinking all my blood? Cause I'm freaking out.

"Look, miss Heather, you need to explain to us what you are doing. You said you are from the white coven, but we don't know if you are on the good side or the bad side." Max said distrustfully.

"Look, I don't know what the good side or bad side is Mr_ "

"Max, the name's Max,"

"Right, Max, but what I do know is that I'm trying to avoid world war, and if I don't replace a way to get out of here soon and replace the stone, then my efforts will be wasted."

Oh wow."

"Now, Kara, don't you know how to get out of here."

"You know my name??"

"Of course, you are miss Amber's daughter. I know you, now focus. This is your mom's chamber, you should know how to get out."

"How do you know my mother and how long have you been here"

"Ohh my God, you guys ask too many questions."

"Okay let me start from the beginning. My name is Heather, a vampire warrior. I was among the vampires the prince captured making them work for him."

"Like Josh and Nathan?" I asked, but the look on her face made me regret it, and also make a mental note not to interrupt her in the future.

"But as I told you before, I don't work for people. It's not my thing."

"Well obviously." This time it was Josh, who interrupted.

"So, I escaped and Miss Amber helped me build a life here in town. I started living among humans." She took a deep breath as if she doesn't want to continue. Something in me told me where her story was leading to.

"After what happened to miss Amber, I decided to investigate what actually happened, the police said according to their research, She and her kids went missing, and although they found a pool of blood, they couldn't prove whose body it came from." She paused again and took another deep breath, she must be really close to mom.

"Miss Amber is like a mother to me." She said, it kind of made me suspect that she was reading my mind. Oh God damn vampires.

"I wanted to replace out what actually happened. I spied on the prince for days, found out he was behind miss Amber's death and wants to get his hands on the stone. So I came here, knowing I'll replace something that might help with replaceing the stone, I'll replace it and bring an end to the war."

"But how did you know the stone isn't with me, cause if you were spying on the prince you should have followed his steps."

"Well, that's because I'm not stupid like the prince, and I know miss Amber. She would never hand such a valuably stone to you or Kendra, knowing your lives will be risked."

Whatever Heather said makes sense, mom wouldn't want us to be in danger, and if she really knew mom as she claimed, then it's no surprise that she knows the stone isn't with me.

"So, how long have you been in here?" Max sneered.

"I don't know exactly, but I'm guessing four to five days. I got trapped, and you are also trapped now. The only way out is to get the door opened from the outside I guess." Wtf we got ourselves locked up in a freaking hole! There's no way out and we might just starve to death.

"So, what was in the stone of light book you took, miss Heather?" Josh asked.

"No way I'm sharing it with you guys?" "Why? We are all on the same team aren't we?"

"Firstly, I don't do team work, and secondly, how do I know if I can trust you."

"Hello?? We saved your freaking life a few minutes ago? And did we forget, I'm Amber's daughter? This is my mom's room, we just snuck into it." I said she was actually very annoying in a bitchy kind of way.

"Yeah, you did, and I owe you for that. Nevertheless, let's not forget you saved me just so you could get the book info, so... You all are not trust worthy. Even so, let me give you a chance, prove that you can be trusted and I'll tell you everything I read. _That's if I can remember though_ so, I need just one reason"

"How about this, 'because you don't have a choice'" Josh said in a dark tone that once again surprised me, it feels weird to have our Josh being serious and intimidating.
