Vampire Slave

The woman behind the wheels of the black car had a mad grin all over her face, making its engine roar successively in accord with the furious storms.

At that same time, Max had the idea that Evelyn could be guided by any adult to his car, therefore he started running as fast as he could towards the parking space, blending his Vampire speed with the blurs of the heavy rain to reach it in no time, panting in fear not in tiredness, praying inwardly against all pessimistic possibilities;

'How is that possible...'

'What am I seeing....'

'Who is that in my car...'

"Hey listen stop right there!" he shouted as he sighted the car pulling out of the open parking space; he was one of the only two persons with such an expensive sports car throughout Anyway city, and it was the only one here in Happy Panda Amusement Park this Sunday night. "I said STOP THE CAR!" he added before running faster.

Few strands of people there outside the park looked with interest as the rarely seen sports car accelerated more, then sped away than an ordinary car could do.

The woman who earlier met Evelyn silently folded her arms on top of her bountiful chest, her mild blue eyes on Max who was approaching her with crazy speed, waiting with creepy interest to see the drama unfold.

"Take me back to big bro!!!" shouted Evelyn from within the car whose small face had different kinds of mixed emotions over it, nevertheless having no tinge of fear screaming off from all the facts of obviousness:

And Max heard her scream;

'Who dares to kidnap Evelyn!'

And his anger was triggered!

And that meant dangers!

He couldn't for a rapid stop glaring thunders at the speeding car with widened eyes. 'Daming bullshit!' He cursed shortly in his mind. "What was the meaning of that! You should have stopped them!" he accused the female officer as he ran past her with all his Diurnal speed.

"Weh willl now finally have Evelyn for ourselves." The beautiful woman's mild blue eyes briefly flashed red when she responded; Max's legs were already pacing to slowness when he clearly processed what she said; her eyes remaining intensely locked on his back before he turned around to look at her straight in the eyes. "Lucahs will own her for she was his possession to begin with."

Max stopped breathing involuntarily and clenched his fists silently. "How, how d'ya relate to Lucas?" He had never seen Lucas sending a woman to come after him, and that puzzled him a lot.

They were always cheap, ordinary Vampires to be dealth with.

"Evelyn James is ours." was the woman's only response. She licked her red-blood lips like the way an evil serpent does.

And Max dashed away with a Diurnal Vampire's natural speed without caring about her existence;

What she just said worsened his mood than she could imagine;

What she just said made a deeply rooted scar resurface in his being, triggering several mixed and buried confusing emotions to rise all at once like how the dark clouds kept engulfing the sky...

Angrily heaving Max pushed through the strands of people standing on his way, then through the moving cars at the opened parking space with stomping feet.

His red radiating eyes were fixated on his speeding car when some computerized alphabets suddenly alerted in front of his iris:

[Level one Black Skin enhancement is in action]

Another set of notifications soon pushed up the former one and rose in front of his retina:

[Your Vampire Melanin will enhance]

[Vampire Melanin: 13/100 enhanced]

'Penelope, your rules need to be broken!' he thought about the old woman's rules loudly in his mind that he must keep his true identity as his priority if he wanted to live in freedom; it was too late to even think of that; his pale skin had began to transform into a scaly, dark, hard one that had red-golden trims flashing within its maturing lines.

[Vampire Melanin: 53/100 enhanced]

He was indeed transforming by enhancing the amount of Melanin he possessed just as his Vampire System stated.

[Vampire Melanin: 99.999999..../100 enhanced]

The wind blew more wildly as if announcing the upcoming scene of rescue in which innocent blood could spill if Evelyn was insisted to be taken away by these bitches sent by Lucas — Lucas, the man who was once Max's confident and a best friend, the man who introduced him to this cursed Vampire life in the past five years, the man who he could never be able to kill at the moment.

'What now matters is to punish this thief! Then Lucas comes next.'

In no time, Max could hardly be recognized as the eighteen year old teenager who was winning a panda toy, because his face had become almost entirely black and scaly, his clothes burnt away until he looked almost naked, and his flexing muscles became more tuned under the Black Skin's pronunciation — all of these made the difference.

From a very far distance, Max suddenly readied, pushed his legs down while squatting, and propelled himself up through the raging rain in a projectile manner for him to next land smoothly on top of the speeding car like a lightning bolt.

And the ignited venture began.

His brown hair freely danced in free sync with the powerful wind. "EVELYN!~ CALM DOWN!~" some of his assuring words were taken away by the wind while he was gripping his hands on the sides of the car to remain balanced and firm.

Evelyn twitched her lips, murmuring: "Well now, I am a freaked baby that needs to calm down." She folded her hands and glared a smile at the woman behind the wheels. "I am going to pee right here if you don't stop the car." She threatened the kidnapper in a "dangerou voice" with squinted eyes.

Max smiled upon hearing Evelyn's warning. "That's my angel." She was naturally adhering to being Evelyn.

The crazy woman ignored her;

She madly pressed the throttle more.

"She warned yaa! Stop the....." Taking an unexpected right corner made Max's equilibrium on the car slightly affected. ".....Ah said stop the car idiot! Where are ya taking Evelyn!"

"To Lucas!" The woman shouted and laughed. "To master Lucas baby!"

'It seems like we are leaving the city and some Vampires desire cruel punishments.' Max concluded.

"To Lucas? To do what with Evelyn? Does he'live outside the city?" With a powerful punch, Max used a great deal of strength to claw his right hand through the roof of his extremely expensive car and tore it away like a fried egg. 'Argh... This is so painful...'

«Playing the hero doesn't suit blood monsters... ever heard of that, my strong slave?» an amused voice stated inside Max's brain, but he ignored it and jumped into the car together with the rain.

Evelyn sharply turned around to see Max, and her face said all the emotions of insecurity she was feeling were beginning to unleash themselves. The reason was because he was transformed into that monstrous form again, the form he always used when protecting her from those strangers aiming for her life.

«You made her life a disaster and you are trying to stop her from coming to me. Now make a name for that.»

Because of what the amused voice just stated inside his head, Max felt like a thousand needles were piercing through his brain and his heart. Irony was been the case here for he didn't plan his day to be filled with the memories of his past sins.

Evelyn was looking behind her to only end up freaked out as she saw him holding his head. She didn't know how he was feeling but this wasn't the first time he was in such a situation. "Max!" she called, she attempted to move to the back seat but unfortunately, she was rigidly held to sit down in her seat by the woman driving the car.

«Protecting her always, that she's now caring for you to this extent? This wasn't the plan.»

No more buildings nor cars could be seen, only trees and trees came passed outside the car's window which it kept dodging whilst speeding;

Only the cries of the rain was breaking the silence, followed by the strikes of ragit-powerful thunders, followed by Evelyn's crazily pounding heart;

Followed by images after images inside Max's head of his own mother;

Of Evelyn's family dying;

Of that abominable night;

Of his little angel's terrified face in seeing her real brother dying—

For a while, those images stopped horrifying Max when he could see through his instinctively activated Spider Vision, in a far away distance, the hot officer from earlier pointing a heavy mimic of machine guns at the moving car.

She cracked her neck.

She grinned.

She licked her blood-red lips.

She then sighed a sigh of evilness.

'No.'

'NOo.'

'NOOO.'

"EVELYN! NOOO!" Max screamed but to no avail. His scream didn't stop the creepily smiling woman from pressing the weapon's trigger right at them, right at their constantly changing location:

wwWHOOOOHMmmpp!!

The large gun-like weapon, which hardly omits its target, shortly unleashed a cylindrically contracted red beam of crazy fire. Nothing could dare stop It from piercing the air molecules in its path like an arrow and hitting before setting a proudly healthy green tree on fire when it missed its target and clashed with its trunk.

She frowned and pressed it again:

wwWWHOOOOOOHMMmmpp!!

And another one was released, this time faster! And bulkier!! And heavier!!! Every tree relatively down to its periphery reflected the red color of the fire it was violently homing.

The more it approached its target with great speed, Max's and Evelyn's misery greatly approached them closer, and closer, and closer. . .
