POV: Jasmine

I woke up in Jordan’s arms. As my eyelids fluttered open, Jordan smiled down at me. I glanced at my wrist, which was now wrapped up in some gauze and from the looks of it, had stopped bleeding.

“Did you have a good beauty nap?” he asked, smiling and laughing.

“Uh, yeah…,” I said, then, completely realizing what had happened, I asked,

“Are you okay, now?”

“Yeah, I think I’ll be fine for awhile, at least until I get some more blood packs,” he said.

“But, where will you get them from?” I asked.

“I don’t know, but if I can’t find any, I’ll feed off of animals, because I don’t want this happening again,” he said sadly. He got up and fixed me a plate of Chips Ahoy chocolate chip cookies and a glass of milk. When he brought them to me, I smiled, and said,

“So, you can’t have any human food at all?” He laughed and said,

“You don’t get the point of vampires, do you?” I laughed and said,

“Duh.” We started to talk and laugh. It was about 7:00, now, so he decided to take me out to dinner at a local Outback, to my delight. We walked in and were seated, when, all of a sudden, he whispered fiercely,

“Go to the bathroom, now!”

“Why???” I whispered back curiously.

“Just trust me, it’s for your own safety, now go!” he commanded while still whispering. As fast as possible, I folded my napkin and placed it on the table and practically ran to the bathroom. I sat in there for at least 10 minutes, waiting. I kept waiting and waiting, until I heard a scream. Against my better judgment, but to satisfy my curiosity, I slipped through the bathroom door to find the restaurant empty, or, at least, I thought it was. I started to walk around, trying to find Jordan, when all of a sudden, I felt someone behind me and spun around to find a hot guy standing behind me, who I guessed was a vampire, because he looked a lot like Jordan. He grabbed my wrist and pulled me to him.

“So your Jordan’s human girl? Wow, he sure has good taste,” he said, laughing. I probably looked scared to death.

“Wh, wh, whoooo arrre yoouu?” I asked, stuttering.

“Aww…, she’s scared,” here he laughed menacingly, then continued,

“I’m Jordan’s brother Shawn, but as you probably already have figured out, I’m not as nice as he is.”

“Where’s Jordan?” I asked, having a sudden rush of courage.

“Let’s just say, he won’t be able to save you,” he laughed menacingly once again. I let out a slight whimper as Shawn started to drag me outside to a black Hummer limo. He opened the back door and grabbed some tape and rope off of the seat. I winced and he said,

“I wouldn’t want you to escape, so I have to do this.” He then proceeded to wrap the tape around my wrists behind my back and place a piece of tape over my mouth and eyes, while I struggled fiercely, but since he was a vampire, it didn’t do much to loosen his grip. I felt myself being thrown into the floorboard of the limo and heard Shawn jump in and shut the door. All of a sudden, I heard a little bit of fidgeting coming from behind me,(btw, Shawn was in front of me), and a familiar voice say,

“Jasmine! Let her go, Shawn, you want me, she has nothing to do with it!” It was Jordan.

“Au Contraire’, Jordan, she has everything to do with this, plus, when dad realized she was alive, he ordered me to bring her back, too,” Shawn responded. Jordan became silent and I heard him becoming frustrated, trying to break free of whatever was restraining him. I heard Shawn snicker and say,

“You won’t be able to get free and save the day and your damsel in distress, those bars are made of some special metal that dad had some scientists cook up; it has little shocker things lining the inside of it, and when I push this button, it drains the vampire that’s restrained in it of all of it’s powers temporarily." Jordan said,

“You won’t get away with this, Shawn!” Shawn laughed evilly and said,

“But I already have, we’re on our way home, and dad’s gonna make you wish you hadn’t ditched meeting those girls and running away with a human,” here he kicked me in the shoulder and I made a whimpering noise. Jordan instantly started struggling to get free and shouted,

“Leave her alone, Shawn, if you’re gonna hurt anybody, hurt me!” I heard Shawn scrambling over to Jordan and saying,

“Okay, you asked for it!” I made another whimpering noise and Jordan said,

“Please, at least spare her the pain of listening to me suffer, it’ll kill her.” I waited for a minute as silence filled the limo. Then, I heard Shawn mumble angrily,

“All right, all right, but I’m gonna have some fun with her doing it.” I could hear Jordan yelling,

“No, Shawn, don’t!” Then a second later, I realized with great pain what he was yelling about. I screamed as best as I could with the tape over my mouth as I felt 2 razor sharp fangs pierce my neck, and I knew that he was going to hurt me, making me pass out in the process. I felt weak as he started to drain me of my blood, but then, to my surprise, he withdrew his fangs about a minute later. He grabbed me and cradled me in his arms, saying,

“You’re mine, now, dad’s gonna let me have you.” Then he said,

“Well, I don’t have anything to clean her blood up with, so I’ll just let the blood loss make her pass out.” A minute later that’s exactly what I did.

I told Jasmine to run to the bathroom when I saw my worst nightmare walk through the door: my brother, Shawn. He immediately looked over at me and came over. A fight broke out, and when everyone saw the fangs and vampire-like abilities, they ran out the restaurant, scared to death. I worried about Jasmine greatly, because I knew if Shawn found her, it would all be over for us. As the fight continued, one girl even screamed as she almost got in the middle of the fight trying to run out the door. To my regret, a minute later, my brother had me pinned outside up against a black Hummer limo and then, somehow, was able to get me inside and strap into some weird thing that drained all my powers. He grinned menacingly at me as I tried to break loose and said,

“Sit down, Jordan, I’ll be right back.” I knew what he was doing: going to find Jasmine. To my regret, about 3 minutes later he came out with her, holding onto her wrist with a death grip. I watched with horror as he grabbed some tape and rope and tied her up, even covering her mouth and eyes with tape, to my horror. She struggled the whole time, trying to get free, as I watched painfully. I knew she wouldn’t get free, and she probably did, too. He lifted her up effortlessly and tossed her in the floorboard near my feet. As Shawn jumped in and the limo pulled away, I struggled once more to get free. I shouted,

“Jasmine! Let her go, Shawn, you want me, she has nothing to do with it!” He responded with a smart remark, like he always does,

“Au Contraire’, Jordan, she has everything to do with this, plus, when dad realized she was alive, he ordered me to bring her back, too.” A few more minutes passed of me trying to break free, and shouting at Shawn to let Jasmine go and he won‘t get away with this, then he finally responded. He kicked Jasmine in the shoulder as he said,

“But I already have, we’re on our way home, and dad’s gonna make you wish you hadn’t ditched meeting those girls and running away with a human.” I heard Jasmine whimper, and because of my great love for her, and plus, I couldn’t stand to see her in pain, said courageously,

“Leave her alone, Shawn, if you’re gonna hurt anybody, hurt me!” Shawn scrambled over to me and said,

“Okay, you asked for it!” I instantly thought of Jasmine and the pain it would cause her to listen to me being tortured as she let out another whimper. I said pleadingly,

“Please, at least spare her the pain of listening to me suffer, it’ll kill her.” I waited for a minute as silence filled the limo. Then, Shawn mumbled angrily,

“All right, all right, but I’m gonna have some fun with her doing it.” I yelled in fear as I saw him lean down towards Jasmine, fangs out,

“No, Shawn, don’t!” Then a second later, I watched in pain as my worst nightmare happened in front of my very eyes. I watched in horror as Shawn’s razor sharp fangs pierce Jasmine’s flawless skin. I watched as she began to look weak and woozy as blood poured out of her neck and into Shawn’s mouth and on the floor of the limo. But then, to my surprise, he withdrew his fangs about a minute later. Shawn grabbed her and to my horror, anger, and jealousy cradled her in his arms, saying,

“You’re mine, now, dad’s gonna let me have you.” Then he said,

“Well, I don’t have anything to clean her blood up with, so I’ll just let the blood loss make her pass out.” A minute later that’s exactly what she did. I started to struggle even more fiercely as he still cradled her in his arms.

“Get off of her!” I shouted at Shawn. He grinned menacingly and said,

“Aww…, my brother’s jealous, and he must really care about this human if he’s willing to take all the pain for her.” I winced as he placed her on the seat and then came over to me.

“Oh, is my big, tough, brother scared?” he said and laughed menacingly. I just held my head high, ignoring him. He grabbed a little case out from under the seat and opened it, revealing several items of torture. I was really scared, but was willing to endure the pain for my true love.
