Angel POV.
I obeyed and stayed inside, I wasn't one to go out looking for troubles, I didn't want any troubles, I was good staying at home really, but I also was keeping up with the news, I was listening to William over and over again, I'm waiting for their next announcement, to see what they're up to.
On the other side, there were some people who decided to riot, they were all over the streets, even the one near home if I looked up from the window I could see them out, they had guns and they wanted to take over, it's vampires, what are they fighting over?"Humans, you're acting like spoiled children, please, this is the last time we announce anything calmly, get back home, now," William ordered us, but I was home, that didn't include me, I got another bowl of cereal ready as my dinner, I wasn't in the mood to cook anything.
My phone rang and I looked at it, it's another announcement that sounded more of a threat this time, they were done warning, and they had moved to threatening and announcing a war, they had declared it.'Go back home or die,' the message says, wow that's not aggressive at all, I say to myself with an eye roll, but I'm home, and I plan on staying home. I opened my social media next, and I checked what people were saying, there are a lot of rebels, but what are they up and about? Do they want to start another war? There aren't enough humans to start another war, but that wasn't the only thing that I found on social media today, there are some other accounts that are starting to pop off, people who are claiming to be the vampires, they all left nice comment saying this was for the best of the humans, that they'd take good care of the world, and that we'll have a good life together.
I watched some videos of the humans on the street, the rebels and then I saw the vampires attacking, they didn't need to use guns, they were much stronger than the humans and they killed them easily, they said death to all rebels and they managed to do it, there were massacres, with the random statistics that were circulating online, ninety per cent of the original human population was dead, what's left the other ten per cent, four per cent was vampires, six per cent was humans.
Of those seven, three were rebels and most of them are dead by now, which left only three per cent of the humans, the vampires win by the pure amount, and by their strength, which means we're damned. I wasn't sure if those numbers were correct or not, but maybe, who knows, after three days, my food was almost over and I had to go shopping, but the order of staying inside was still going.
"Good evening everyone, this is your favourite reporter, William, some might say I'm your only current report, but who's counting," William says with a chuckle, he's cute when he smiles, I think I'm crushing badly on him, and I know I'm not the only one, there's a full hashtag about William.
"I'm happy to report that most of the rebels are dead," he says happily and I felt sorry for all the humans that have died, poor humans, we're already short on humans and now some of us are dead, most of us are dead."I'm sorry for all the loss the humanity had to suffer again, but most of them had to die, they had to be gone for the rest of us to live a happy and good life," William says, he felt so firm and so confident, he got most of us believing him.
"Now, please, dear humans, the ones that have obeyed us, the ones that we are proud to start a new life with, it's time to come out of your hiding," he says, but go out where? I want to stay home."Yes, I know it's very scary to come out, it's very worrying to leave the comfort of our homes," William says, he knew how everyone was feeling without even saying so.
"Now for the one who's left, we know you, we have your numbers, but no need to be scared, we got you. A message is going to be sent to your phone along with your name, number and timing, when you receive that message get ready, we're going to come and get you. I know a lot of you know how to drive, or maybe you're used to walking or even taking public buses, but for this thing specifically, I'm going to request all of you to wait for the buses, one that we're going to send your way, and once on the bus, you're going to be safe," William explains, but I'm still worried, I didn't want to obey."If you decide on not coming, if you decided to play hard to get, then we'd come and get you, there's two chances then, you'd be dragged screaming and crying, or you'd be executed for rebelling, but my advice is taking the bus, it's not that scary, you're going to be brought over to here, and you'd get to meet me, along with others," he says with a big smile, and for him, I'd walk over, I don't care, for his smile, I'd do anything.
"What and why you're coming? Those are the next two big questions, right?" William says and he's right, I'm just going there for him, but if he could tell us some more explanation that would be great.
"You're coming for the future to begin, once you're here you're going to be asked some questions, nothing too dangerous, we want to get to know you, don't you want to get to know me," William says, I bet everyone wants to get to know him."After the questionnaire is over after we finish asking you everything from your favourite food to your favourite colour and your dreams for the next ten years when we're done, you'd be given a hot meal, and then get ready to go back to the bus and finally you'd be back home before the day ends," he says happily, so that's it? Are we just going to be asked questions? Why can't they just ask us that at home, this could be an email, but sure whatever William says."That's all, I'd see you tomorrow, yours truly, William," he says and the report is over, and as before it was put on repeat, with the big headlines written at the bottom of the screen, I watched it again to make sure I got everything and then my phone rang.
'Angel Smith, age twenty-three. Ten AM,' the message said he was right, they got my name and age, and they gave me a time, tomorrow at ten am, I'm going to be ready, and my heart is beating like crazy, I'm very excited, I this was the craziest thing that has ever happened to me, what's the worse thing? I'd die, but death isn't too bad.
I got my clothes ready for tomorrow, I picked jeans and a shirt, along with my shoes, I didn't wear my work clothes for a change, and then I decided to go and take a shower, wash my hair and clean it, if William sees me, I want to look cute, I don't get why but I felt the urge to do so.I couldn't sleep that night, I couldn't wait for tomorrow, I flipped in my bed a million times, and I checked social media, a lot of people were excited about tomorrow, maybe it was a mass Stockholm syndrome, but we're all too happy about that and none of us wanted to wake up from it.
I managed to get a couple of hours of sleep and when I woke up, I was worried and looked at my phone to check the time, it's just nine am, so I got time to get up and get ready before the bus made it over here.I went toward the bathroom and got ready, washing my face, and brushing my teeth and hair, I put on the clothes I had decided on and then I went out of the house, taking my phone and keys along with me, I went downstairs and right on time came the bus, it's not like the school bus, it's the public one, but it looked clean for once.
The driver opened the door and said my name when I said yes that's me, he allowed me in telling me where to sit, I took my place next to another girl who looked like she had taken hours doing her make-up this morning."Well at least some of us have tried to look decent for William," she says in a mean voice before turning her face the other way, and I ignored the mean comment, everyone was silent, no one dared to talk as the bus took us toward one of the abandoned cities, we went through the first gate, we saw broken down buildings and death, then it stood tall and proud a building that must be new, it's giant, looked to be bigger than most building we have now, the bus stopped near the door where other people were ready to welcome us in.
Angel POV. After the bus stopped, we were welcomed into the facility, what I'm going to call it, it's a facility, that looks very similar to the companies we have and I work in, the girl who was sitting next to me pushed me to get out of the bus first, she was all ready to meet William, but he wasn't here, or at least I couldn't see him yet."Welcome everyone, good morning girls," a guy welcomed us as we got off the bus, he's right, we're all girls how didn't I pay attention to that as I got in?"Good morning, where's William?" Full Glam asks right away and she is met with a cold glare. "Please do not speak unless spoken to, William is busy he'll be here later on," the guy says shutting her up along with the rest of us, not speaking without being spoken to."Now girls, everyone's eyes on me," the same guy says getting everyone's attention while full glam was fuming off with anger. "My name is Victor, and I'm your guide for today, please stay at all times with your group, and keep y
Angel POV. I woke up, and I felt very groggy, I had no idea where I was, but I knew that the doctor had injected me with something, I'm not sure what he had inside the needle that he stabbed my thigh with, but I was awake now and I'm not very happy about it, I whined and groaned, I felt like I have been sleeping for too long, maybe a whole day or more.I opened my eyes and looked around, I wasn't in my room, I wasn't in my house or over my bed or even sofa, I'm asleep in the bus, the same bus I took this morning to get here to the facility, I looked around and saw most of the girls were awake, mostly the ones who went before me, only a couple are still asleep, but starting to wake up, who brought us here? I can't remember any of that, how did I end up here."Good morning girls," Victor says joining us in the bus, everyone is awake by now, it's been another thirty minutes since I woke up, and the rest are up as well. "How did we end up here?" Full Glam asks out loud. "You sweetie, I
Angel POV. I turned the TV off, and I decided that I didn't want to watch anymore, I didn't want to see William or hear him talk about killing us, about him being in charge and everything, I decided it was best to just ignore the TV for a while, not to hear it, but I was running low on money and supplies, and I didn't know where life was going next, maybe I should go to my old work and pray to god I haven't gotten kicked out. I decided that I should try, I should get ready and go, I still got my car, and I knew the way there, nothing wrong with trying, worse case scenario is I get told off and I go back home and start searching for another job. I got ready to get to work, I wore my fancier clothes, brushed my hair and even tried to style it, if I had to beg back for my work I wanted to be able to do it with style, once I was ready, I sprayed some perfume and left the house, I got into my car and started the long drive toward my old job.The roads were empty, and there were hardly an
Angel POV. The police guy drove after me, I led the way toward my home, I wasn't really sure if I should show him where I lived or not, but I knew that I didn't have any other place to take him to, that home was my one and only place, I didn't have anywhere else to go. I drove slowly, too worried about the police driving behind me this time, I made it home in forty minutes, I parked the car and he parked behind me as well, I got out of the car and he did the same."Is this where you live?" he says not too happy looking at the buildings around, I know it's not the best area ever, but it's the one I could afford and it's my home. "Yeah," I nod my head assuring him this is it, I'm waiting for him to leave, I look at him waiting for him to get back in his car and leave. "I'm walking you to your apartment of course," he says with a smile, and I decided to decline. "I can go there alone, thank you for following me here, I felt very safe," I say with a bit of sass, I'm home and he can't
Angel POV. "But let me explain," I begged them, they had me sitting in the backseat, they locked the doors and I couldn't get out of there, they weren't listening, and the only thing that they said to me was that I disobeyed and I deserve this, whatever this is. "Shut up," the guy in the front scolded me when I wouldn't shut up, trying to explain to them what happened to me, was there something I should have obeyed but I didn't.I was on the verge of tears, no I wasn't on the verge, tears were starting to gather in my eyes and I was about to cry, well to sob out loud, I was a good girl, I hadn't been doing anything that I shouldn't be doing, I was hiding home the whole time, the only reason I left was to get some grocery if I had enough food, I wouldn't have left, I'm good just hiding for a very long time. They didn't take me to the same facility as before, although the road was very similar to that one, this time they took me toward a building in the middle of the city, these are
Angel POV. "Like he's ancient?" I whisper to him, not daring to say the words out loud, what if he hears me, what if William kills me for offending him?"He's older than me, you can call him ancient but not to his face deal?" he says and I nod my head yes, sure I can do that, we both stayed quiet for a bit, I was too scared to move or say anything that I shouldn't have said."I like you Angel, wipe those tears away," he says and I do as I'm ordered, I wiped my tears away, he handed me a tissue and I blew my nose as well. "What does liking me mean? Are you going...to..." I say not sure how to say it, would he drink me dry? Would he kill me?"I'm not going to kill you, you'd never have to worry about being safe, not around me," he assures me. "You introduced yourself as my worst nightmare, I'm not sure I beleive that," I say feeling a blush coming on my face, I'm a sassy girl but I'm too scared of sassing too much. "I'm your worst nightmare in case you're a real rebel, but you're ju
Dylan POV. The taking over went perfectly, I didn't expect it to be this easy, I expected them to put up a bit more of a fight, to do something, I really hoped that they'd do something, that they'd stand up for themselves, but nothing, we should have known better, humans, and what to expect form them, not a whole of much. Me and my older brother William and I have been planning for this takeover for a while now, we might have a hand or two, maybe a bit more into getting the nuclear war to start, we knew that we couldn't take over with all the humans out there, but after getting rid of most of the humans, it was time for us to take over and we did, we took over, we became the one in charge and with one warning and simply the killing of the president.William decided and was voted to be the one who'd our face, I wasn't one to love talking out there or tell people the truth, I was the one behind the screen, I was the one who led the powers. We have our system, and the questionnaires we
Angel POV. I got to bed, and I was ready to sleep the sleep was almost here, but I was too tired to fall asleep right away, I was staying away for just a little bit more, and then I was on the verge of sleeping, I was almost there when I heard my door open and that made me jump up with fear, I sat up and looked at whoever is at my door and I saw that it's Dylan."What are you doing here?" I asked him confused, and he told me to sleep, were there strings attached to my staying in here, if I knew I wouldn't be this relaxed, I would make sure to be up, to be attentive, but I trusted the vampires again, what a wrong move. "We need to move, and we need to move quickly," he says and I looked at him confused but I did get my ass out of the bed, I moved toward him, and he held my hand and dragged me out of the room, toward another room while I looked, and felt like a deer stuck in the headlight."Dylan," I say with fear. "You don't have to worry, I'll keep you safe," he says, but safe from
