Life Starts After Dark

Eric’s POV

I heard the screeching of stressed and bent metal as I ran. Shortly afterward, I heard her screaming my name.

Then everything went silent. And I ran faster than I had ever run before in all my existence.

What would I do if I did not reach her in time? How could I survive if she was no longer alive?

I could not allow myself to think about that any longer. Instead, I put my faith in her vision. She had told me that I would reach her while she was still alive. I would just have to be able to kill the vampire before he had a chance to kill her.

I saw her red car laying upside down, partially obscured from view by the woods. It looked like a crushed soda can. I could only imagine what shape Skylar must have been in when taken from the car.

I smelled her blood, and started running again.

The male vampire fixed on her throat when I saw her, and she was lying limp on the ground under him, no longer putting up a fight.

I threw him off her, and he smashed a tree on impact. I could feel my fury burning like boiling blood through my veins.

This unintelligent vampire would not go on existing much longer.
