Screaming nightmares by Hannah Sawyer (world of reading .TXT) 📕

I asked Anne a lot of questions about her. She died at the age of twenty one, she had been in love with Matthew, and Matthew changed her so they could be together forever. That was one hundred and sixty years ago.
“John wants to talk with you. Don’t worry Lizzie will be there and me. John will never hurt you. You are quite safe here.”
Gently linking arms with Anne, I slowly made my way down to wherever John was. Fear filling me.


Chapter 5 – The Family.

John smiled welcoming to me. He looked about thirty years old like Lizzie, the room was a beautiful lounge.
“Anne if you could leave us. We have a lot to talk about. Thank you Anne.” His deep voice sounded similar to Daniel’s but even deeper and had a more commanding presence about it. She looked into my eyes squeezed my hand and left.
“Rhiannon, I have a lot to ask you and to tell you, so please, take a seat.” I walked over to a deep red sofa and sat, stroking out the folds of my dress.
“Thank you for the dress.”
“Not a problem you are now a member of this family.” He looked concerned. “Rhiannon, every vampire has an ability. Like for example, Lizzie’s is mind reading, mine is invisibility, Anne can make things move with her mind, Matthew can control people and Daniels is extreme speed and shape shifting. Whenever a vampire uses their power their eyes turn black, the whole eye looks black. When Anne woke you earlier you eyes had turned black. She said that you had had a dream.”
“Yes it was horribly realistic and I knew stuff that I couldn’t even see. A woman was looking for you, she had killed so many and men were preparing for war but I knew they were all going to die. I knew I had to keep running because I was faster than her and Daniel. I had to get to you guys to tell you to get safe.”
“You knew you were faster than Daniel?”
“Yes why?”
“He is the fastest vampire I have ever met. We are all faster than humans but I have never found anyone faster than him. I think I know your powers, speed and the ability to see the future.”
“And strength.” Daniel’s deep voice interrupted. I spun round smiling. He returned my smile than spoke to John.
“She picked up the mirror the one that was screwed down and threw it at me; it is still stuck in the wall. The only bit showing is the very top.” He turned to me “all vampires are strong but I have never seen that. Most things will only go into these stone walls by about five centimetres. “
“How can she have three powers? I will have to inform my elders, this is unheard of. If you don’t mind Rhiannon I need to talk with Lizzie alone.” John looked fascinated and scared.
“Thank you. Daniel can I talk with you?”
“I will speak with you later father.” Daniel looked deep into his father’s eyes. He took my arm and we went out into the garden.


Chapter 6 – More changes.

When we got into the garden I found a stone bench and sat down. Daniel lowered himself next to me.
“Daniel I’m so sorry. I hope I didn’t hurt you or your feeling I don’t hate you really.”
“It’s ok. I reacted the same way after I was changed. And besides we heal very quickly. But no you didn’t hit Me.” he said with a smile, almost proud of the fact he managed to dodge my attempts to hurt him.
“So you’re a shape shifter? What can you change into?”
“Any big cat. My favourite is the black jaguar though.”
“So how long have you been a vampire?”
“Only seventy five years.” I lowered my head onto his shoulder and he wrapped his arm around me. I don’t know how long we were there but when I woke it was dark and Daniel was waking me for dinner. Then a thought struck me.
“What do we eat?” looking rather concerned.
“We normally eat animal meat but rarely we get real blood from the blood bank, that’s only every few months but that’s all we need.”
“That’s ok then. I was getting worried then.” We laughed as we both walked into the house. But suddenly I fell to the floor screaming. They were back. She was attacking.
I wasn’t in the garden anymore I was in a house. The moon outside was full. I could smell blood. People were dead. As I turned into the nearest room there she was stood over a child holding a blade above his throat.
“No! Stop, why are you doing this?” she couldn’t seem to hear me, with a sudden movement she slashed the boy’s throat and then drank like an animal from his throat. I thought I was going to be sick. I fell to the floor.
I woke still in the garden surrounded by people. Only one of the faces I did not know but I assumed was Matthew’s.
“They’re all dead. She killed the boy. They died all of them, all eight people dead. A baby gone.” I rolled to my side and was violently sick. John bent down to talk to me,
“Who were they? Think Rhiannon.”
“The Martinez family they live in Rome.” I wept holding Daniel close to me.
“Daniel, take her to her room I will talk to you later.” James stroked my hair away from my eyes. With one smooth motion Daniel picked me up and carried me to my room.
“Everything will be fine just rest now.” He gently kissed my forehead. I was still holding him close I didn’t want him to leave me. He seemed to understand this and moved me over slightly so he could lay with me holding me close. I slowly drifted off to sleep.
I woke when I felt Daniel rise but I kept my eyes shut. I heard James’ voice calling Daniel outside.
“Your bond with her is already very strong.”
“I know. I felt all her fear when she saw... well when she saw the woman attacking. I don’t want her to ever leave me.”
“I can see that. Her vision meant we managed to save two of the family. A young boy his throat was slashed pretty bad but he will survive without being changed. Miranda wiped his memory and his older sister as well. The sister wasn’t dead just lost a lot of blood and had a cut going across her chest and down her arm. Rhiannon saved them.”
“John. May I sleep in the same room with her tonight?”
“Of course, she is obviously your one.”
“Thank you. Goodnight.”
“Good night.”


Chapter 7 – A day to remember

.
I slowly woke, it took me a while but I remembered where I was. As I realised Daniel was sleeping next to me, I smiled and stroked his hair. He opened his eyes and smiled.
“Good morning my angel” he whispered,
“Good morning darling” I bent down and gently kissed him on the lips. He pulled me close and we kissed passionately. As we pulled apart we both smiled, I slid down the bed slightly and rested my head on his chest, as he played with my hair I smiled.
“I have a question.” His hands stopped playing with my hair. I turned my head to look at him.
“What did John mean when he said it was obvious I am your one?” he laughed and went back to playing with my hair.
“Every vampire has a one. I think most people would call it our soul mate. Everyone in this family apart from me had met their one. Until I met you, basically a vampire cannot truly be in love with anyone else but their one. John and I both agree that you are my one. And I hope that I am your one.”
“I am almost certain you are my one, you make me feel so different when I’m with you.”
“Did you also hear that two of the Martinez family survived? Your vision came about an hour before it happened. You saved them.” He sat up slightly and I moved my head, he kissed me again and whispered. “Your wardrobe is full of clothes now, pick a dress then later you can wear your training gear.”
“Training gear?”
“We need to train you to control your powers. Especially your speed and strength. It is fine. Do you want Anne to come help you pick out a dress?”
“Yes please. Are we having breakfast?”
“Yes but we are going to the lake for breakfast. We are having bacon and sausages with eggs. I will go get Anne now. Love you.” He smiled at me and kissed me passionately before he left the room.
I slid out of the bed and went to the mirror, my hair just took a quick brush and I noticed my eyes now were an even brighter green. I just smiled, then Anne entered wearing a beautiful flowing periwinkle coloured dress.
“Morning” she almost sang. “Matthew is excited about finally meeting you properly. Now I think you should go with a nice pale coloured dress with a pearl chocker and bracelet with these large pearl earrings.” Finally I picked out a cream coloured dress with matching shoes. I slowly made my way downstairs. Daniel was waiting for me with Matthew at the bottom of the stairs. Matthew nudged Daniel and he spun round to face me. His smile glowed up to me. We went out and all got in the carriage that wait for us. We talked and laughed most of the way and I held Daniel’s hand the whole journey.
When we arrived at the lake everything was set up for us. I sat between Daniel and Lizzie.
“Matthew it has been a pleasure meeting you properly.”I laughed, Matthew laughed then nodded.
“Same to you welcome to the family.” We all sat and enjoyed our meal. I wasn’t sure how it would taste with it only just cooked but it was truly delicious. After breakfast me and Daniel went walking in the forest. Then just to test it I ran to the huge oak that I could see in the distance and before I knew it I was there. Unfortunately I had ripped the skirt of my dress giving it a tattered look on the skirt. Daniel ran up to me and looked at my dress smiling.
“Now that’s better.” He said smiling at me seductively. I slowly slid my leg through the ripped material showing my almost perfect leg. He bit his lip gently, I slowly walked over to him and held him close and we shared a long passionate kiss, whilst we were kissing he picked me up and carried me to the base of the ancient tree. He lowered me to the ground then lay next to me, softly kissing my neck and running his hand through my hair and the other over my stomach. His touch made me shiver with excitement. I felt him move slightly and he kissed my cheek then whispered
“Marry me please? Rhiannon my angel now and forever, will you marry me?” I heard him hold his breath.
“Of course. I love you so much.” I turned to face him and kissed him, the kiss seemed to go on four hours but I wouldn’t have stopped it for the world.
“Oh my gosh!” at the sound of Matthew’s voice we suddenly pulled apart. Anne was stood next to him and she playfully hit him.
“Typical man! Can you not leave Dan alone, especially seeing as you could tell he was with Rhiannon?”
“They have some news to share!” he
