WIP Wednesdays -Vampire in trouble (Patreon)

I've been deprived of watching BBC's Dracula until Saturday so instead I'll share a piece involving another vampire and some high stakes... MUAHAHA PUN INTENDED

  “Elodie, please just listen to me. Listen to yourself. Does it honestly make any sense that I could have even been capable of killing your sister in nineteen-eighty-nine? I was five…years…old,” he repeated slowly in an attempt to talk some sense into her head.

“No…you…weren’t,” she mocked, “You’re a vampire –gifted with the opportunity of eternal youth by drinking the blood of young innocent children. But that all stops tonight,” she finished, unwrapping something delicately in her hands. 

Ryan had been so busy with hanging up his cell phone and looking for a way out of this mess that he hadn’t noticed where she’d suddenly grabbed the small bundle from. As the wrappings fell away, Ryan saw what it was and his heart skipped and then began to race. It was a stake.

“Elodie, please. Just… just calm down okay? I can prove it. I can prove I didn’t do anything okay and then we can all just walk away from this.”

“I don’t think so,” she scoffed, running her finger over the wood of the stake.

“Guys, please tell her this isn’t funny. You’re not going to let her do this are you?” The two holding Ryan were silent. “Seriously, do you hear her? Do you actually believe this? This is ridiculous, right? C’mon –”

“Shut up,” Chase muttered.

Shocked, Ryan turned back to Elodie. “Elodie please. You don’t want to do this.”

“Oh yes I do,” she shot back, looking at him with determination. “I’ve waited too many years to kill the creature that murdered my sister Marie. And now that I have you in front of me, I think it’s in my best interests to go ahead. Guys, hold him tight.”

“No! NO STOP! HELP!” Ryan yelled frantically, “Let me go! PLEASE!”

“QUIET! You killed my sister and now I’m going to kill you. Marie, we’re finally going to have our revenge!” Elodie announced, tears coming to her green-hazel eyes as she looked up above her.

Ryan made an attempt to struggle free but they had him held fast. He tried flailing his legs but they simply put their feet down onto his, and the third guy grabbed a hold. There was no escape. 

Ryan could barely breathe as Elodie stepped toward him. She only paused a moment to rip his shirt, exposing the pale skin of his chest near his heart. Stepping back, she stared right into his terrified eyes as she raised the stake above her head.

“Elodie!” he cried, “Please you don’t know–”

“SHUT UP!” she screamed. “My sister didn’t have a choice, did she? And you don’t either. You’re going to die now for what you did and there’s nothing you can do about it; nothing!” And without another word Elodie thrust her arm downward plunging the stake into Ryan’s chest.

His scream echoed across the field shattering the peaceful quiet of the night.

He went limp in the arms of those holding him back and they let him slide to the ground. He struggled to hold onto his consciousness as the pain ebbed over all he knew at that moment. Ryan thought he heard Emily scream his name but everything was blurring. He blacked out momentarily and regained a bit of consciousness to see her face over him looking terrified. She grabbed his hand and he attempted to answer her before everything went completely black.
