Run, must keep on running! If I stop now, all hope will be lost.
He burst through the trees, that handsome man in the dark cloak with steel eyes and a face only angels of heaven could have made. Suddenly, he stopped. It was him. Standing infront of the portal, the evil one, Kael.
"Well hello, my old friend Demetri. Now, here you decide to face me again. So, I shall give you a choice, either, you join with me or--"
"I WILL NEVER JOIN WITH YOU!" Demetri shouted.
"Very well then," Kael said cooly, " You DIE!"
He ran straight at Demetri, causing him to plumet to the ground. Kael ran straight back towards the spot where Demetri had fallen, but fell as Demetri punched him in the face, causing him to topple over on himself.
After a short whild of fighting, Kael was still doing fine, but Demetri was ready to pass out.
Not knowing what to do, and Kael ready to make the final blow, Demetri braced himself for the inevitable. He had failed and was now to die for his actions of what he thought were heroics.
Just as Kael was about to strike, someone jumped in front of him, once again causing him to topple over.
The girl leaned down to the ground and whispered in Demetri's ear, "Go now! I'll hold him off!"
"NO! He'll kill you!"
"I am of no importance, we cannot let our feelings get in the way." She kissed him on the side of his cheek. "Now GO!"
Kael had regained his footing and was ready to fight once more. Demetri got up and sped as quickly as possible to the portal while Kael was still out of the way. The girl ran over and knocked Kael down again, giving Demetri more time.
I must keep going now! For her! For the whole universe! Finally, his foot almost in the portal, which was now slowly closing, Kael saw and threw a rock at his foot, injuring his ankel. Demetri shrieked. The stone most likely broke his ankel. Demetri reached his hands forward, pulling himself into the portal and the last things he heard, were the shreiks of anger coming from his enemy.
"NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" and suddenly, he was laying on the soft grass in a park somewhere on the planet, Earth.
This is the introduction to the novel Vampire Rose that I'm working on.
