Chapter 7 Episode Seven

EPISODE SEVEN

Mia's POV

In an unconscious state, I felt gentle swaying motion, almost as if being on a boat, where the waves lifted and eased at the whimsy of the wind, peaceful and comforting. And I might have been comforted by the motion, were it not for the fiery hot throbbing pain in my neck. My breathe sputtered in irregular patterns, short, sharp and incomplete. I was burning inside for terrifying moments but soon everything faded in my mind.

******************************

I heard hushed voices from a far distance and It felt like I was dreaming.

"Hey..I think she's still asleep."

"Her wound has healed completely."

"Let's wake her up before those wicked guards comes around to pour water on her."

Wicked guards? What's happening? Was I in hell or what?

"Hey..wake ..up.." a voice murmured from the darkness.

I forced my eyelids to open, surprised to see the people who surrounded me. My eyes scanned the unfamiliar environment. I was in a cell with hay on the floor. Where am I? I thought.

Memories filled my mind's eye. I went to the club with Beatrice, I had a fight with Jack,the voices in the alley, the men coming after me.....then he bit me.

I touched my neck but to my surprise there was no open wound from the bite. How did I survive the bite of a vampire? Wait...am I a Vampire too?! What?! I examined my body to see changes but I looked normal.

I heard people appearances changes after transformation! To humans vampires was a myth but oh no it was true! Vampires truly exists! And I have met them and I also got bitten by one but didn't die. I have witnessed something I never thought I would see in a million years.

I closed my eyes, hugely thankful to God that I was alive and that the pain in my neck was gone. I breathed in tentatively.

"Are you okay?" A voice asked. I reopened my eyes to look at the eyes fixated on me.

There were four women in the cell. Two were about my age,one was an old lady with a tattered look while the last one was younger than me..way to younger.

"Where is this place?" I asked.

"The vampires world." The old lady answered.

My eyes widened in shock. "What?! How did I get here?! What's going on?!" I questioned frantically.

"You were brought in here three days ago."

My jaw dropped completely. "You mean.. I've been out for three days?" They all nodded in unison.

No! This can't be happening! I stood up and went to the metal gate. I saw several women in other cells. They all looked bloody, horrible and some were dressed in rags. I looked down at myself and sighed in relief that I still had my jeans and top on my body.

"Why are there so many women in here?" I asked.

"They need us.." one of them replied.

I turned to look at them. "Are you all vampires too?" I asked in horror.

"No, we're human like you! They would never keep their kind in a place like this!" A lady of about my age spat angrily.

"This is crazy!" I blurted out.

This must be a dream! I grabbed on the gate and did the thing that occurred to my mind. "Hello! Is anybody out there?! Let me out of here or else I will call the cops on you all!" I screamed and shook the gate aggressively.

"There are no cops here!" Some women laughed.

"That's a waste of time..your screams won't change anything."

"It's better you stay quiet or else they'll drain you out before your time."

Those were the handful of comments from frustrated women in other cells. Maybe there was no way out of here but I will never let them hold me against my own will. Those bloodsucking animals deserves to die! The one who brought me here should have his balls crushed too!

I went back to the women in my cell. "I's there really no way out of here?!" They nodded in unison.

"We're all stucked in here till God knows when." The old lady added.

"And since there is no way out of here,I suggest we get to know each other as inmate." I sighed.

"What's your name?" The young girl asked me.

"Mia Green but you can call me Mimi." I answered.

"Felicia.." the old lady said.

"Call me Nate."

"Sophia.."

"And you are..." I waited for the young girl to fill her name.

"I am Zoe.." she muttered in a sad tone.

"How did you end up here?" I directed my question to Zoe. She seemed too young to be kept in a place like this,she should be in school studying.

Tears leaked from her eyes. "My dad borrowed a huge sum of money from a man named Dracula to save his company. He promised to pay back in three months time but thieves robbed our home the same night dad got the money. Dracula showed up after four months but my dad couldn't give him the money. So he killed my parents,took me as replacement for the money my dad borrowed and brought me here." Zoe narrated in tears.

"Who is Dracula?" I asked.

"Dracula is a notable man in this imperial but he runs businesses in the human world too." Felicia answered.

Human world and Imperial? Aren't we in the same world? I wondered

"Aren't we in America?" I asked. It sounded like we are in an entirely different world.

"Yes..we are in America but somewhere far to where humans resides." Nate answered.

That's explains the feeling when I was unconscious. I felt like I was on a boat. The man who bite me transported me from human world to this imperial! I listened to the other women explain how they ended up in this bloodsucking world.

Nate was decieved by another vampire who she met at the club. They dated for just two weeks until the day she found out he was vampire. She had been scared to death that she ordered him to stay away from her. Unfortunately he got mad, frugged her and brought her to this place.

Sophia was brought in here by a female vampire who wanted to get rid to her so she could have Sophia's newly turned boyfriend to herself.

Felicia the old lady has been here for so long. A young man had offered to help her move into her new home only for him to transform and turn her into a blood bank for days before bringing her here too.

It was crazy how they abduct women from their comfort zones and then bring them into this confined place.

"How did they find you?" Felicia asked.

I explained how three men killed a man in an alley and followed me home..only to find myself here after I thought I was going to die.

"The same man who killed my parents brought you here." Zoe said.

"Dracula?" She nodded Yes. Then I recalled how scary he had looked that night when he threatened Draco in the alley with his men.

"But why exactly do they need us?" I asked trying to clear up my curiosity.

"We don't know too much but the vampires needs us to stay alive." Nate answered.

"What do you mean?" I asked.
