(Author’s POV)
*Sound of owls’ screeching in the background*
Hearing the ear piercing, banshee like resonance, Catherine’s gold hued eyes flew open at once. Her guard was high. She narrowed her eyes, darting them around, trying to observe her surroundings.
The strange black smoke from earlier was everywhere. The place was like a dark abyss with low to no visibility. She tried to push herself up and move, but her body felt as heavy as a sack of bricks. She then noticed that the thick mist was circling around her, keeping her in place.
She immediately realised whose doing it could be. A bit panicked and a lot agitated, she shouted, "BROOKS~ .... BROOKS~ .... Where the fuck are you? Come out. Come out, right now."
Instead of getting a reply, she heard her own voice echoing across the abyss. Fuming, she bit her lower lip and shrieked again, "What are you trying to do, huh? If you don’t come out~ ... I will~ ...."
Before she could finish her sentence, multiple laughs cut her off, "Hahhahaha HAHAHAHAhahahahaa ... HAhahahaHAha~ ...." Her head whirled around to locate the source, her expression tight and scrunched.
Seeing her reaction, the mocking laughter only intensified. It was slashing her eardrums like a sharp, jagged blade, coming from all directions. Then the snide remarks started one by one, "Haha, what a scaredy little cat!"
"Isn’t she a vampire elder? A frightful bat would be appropriate? Pffttttt~ ..." another, high pitched voice spoke. And others laughed at it.
"But rather than a vampire elder, she behaves more like a spiky hedgehog~ ...... kekehhekek~ ...." Fresh round of laughter erupted again, making her rage like wildfire.
"HOW DARE YOU? SHUT UP~ .... WHO THE HELL ARE YOU ALL? WHAT IS THIS PLACE? AND WHERE IS THAT BRUTE, DENVER BROOKS?" she questioned, her voice sharp.
"Haha~ ... see, like a hedgehog~ .... told you all~ ..." someone commented and scoffed.
"Stop trying to be brave, vamp girly. Don’t be impatient. Soon, very soon, you will meet the same fate as all of us. He won’t let you off," another one spoke.
Catherine’s eyes flickered at the words as she latched onto it and asked, "What do you mean? He? Who is this, he? Are you talking about Denver Brooks?"
"SSsssshhhhh~ No one takes that name here," another one warned.
Catherine frowned.
".... Miss~ ... Miss vampire elder, don’t take his name so casually. You should call him master instead. Otherwise~ ... he will~ .... he will punish you badly~ ...." A timid voice stated. It sounded like a little girl was on the verge of crying.
"Master? Denver Brooks is your master?" she inquired.
"Yes, that man is~ .... he is really scary~ ...." She replied.
"Derbie~ ...." Denver’s voice came next. "Are you that frightened of me?" He asked with a laidback tone.
