It was a very dark dark place, the only light that shown was the one coming from the tv. The tv that belonged to one of the soldiers guarding the jail cell and inside these cages where many childeren. They were suprisingly quiet, the glare from the screen shown in their eyes, making them seem like trapped demons.
A boy, only eighteen years old, sat closest to the cell door. His eyes shown brightest, his stare cold and strait. When he spoke the iron bars seemed to tremble, "your going to ******** die." he told the guard, "im going to kill you, and your going to ******** die."
But the soldier only laughed, "sure kid, you go ahead and try."
Kellan glanced up at the guard and the boy. "Don't push him!" she whispered to the boy. Then she turned to the guard. "What are we here for?" she asked curiously.
The man turned to face the childeren, "your here because..." an evil grin spread across his jaw, "your here for us, because we want you here."
Ram slammed his fists on the bars, "your son of a b***h, you better let me the ******** out of here or else!!"
The man sighed, and turned back toward the tv. "hush, its the middle of the night, you need your strength for tomorrow. So go to sleep."
"like hell im going to sleep," Ram yelled at the tip of his lungs, "your ******** dead ill kill you, ill rip that smile clean off your face!!"
By now the man was getting irritatted, "be quiet, im the only chance you got in here. if you make too much noise, someone else will come down here and shut you up."
This time Ram smiled, "why? are you too much of a p***y to shut me up yourself?"
Kellan looked up at the guard fearfully. She then looked back at the boy. She narrowed her eyes and whispered to him, "be quite. You don't want to set him off."
Ram looks down at kellan, he was silent for a moment, then slowly took her by the hand. "dont worry, ill get us our of here. I promise, anyone who stands in my way is ******** dead."
Kellan blinked at Ram. "Who are you?" she asked, snatching her hand away and huddling closer to the corner and hugging herself. "You shouldn't touch me. I... I might do something to you. Sometimes I... Well I do things... And I don't mean to, but I do...." She gulped and stared down at the floor. "You should be fine if you don't touch me. Everyone else is."
Ram laughed, "relax, if you dont want me touching you i wont. id rather you keep what you have to yourself anyway." He looked around at the other childeren, "does anybody have any water?¿ im really thirsty." Ram turned to the soldier, "i said im thirsty you b*****d, get me something to drink."
"i dont give a rats a** what you are, you little s**t. Go to ******** sleep" the guard slapped his thigh, "your really starting to piss me off, shut the ******** up."
"im thirsty!" Ram kicked the bars, making them echo down the hall. "ill shut up after you get me something to drink!" He stammed against the door again, this sound was much louder than the first, "water! water!" the boy yellled.
Kellan sighed and rolled her eyes, grabbing Rams arm. She pulled a water bottle from her pocket and handed it to him. "It's not poisoned, I promise. Just drink and shut up before we get in trouble."
He put the bottle behind him, and unscrewed the cap quietly, taking care not the let the guard see. Ram winked at the girl, "stand back," he whispered, "im about to get us the ******** outa here."
"HEY!!" screamed Ram once again, "get up off your fat a** and give me some ******** water, WATER!!"
By now the soldier had enough of the boy, the stood fiercly and rushed at the jail cell. " I told you to be quie-" but the mans words never finished, Ram had dumped the water on his hand, and in a flash it had frozen and turned to ice. The ice formed in seconds, changing into the shape of a spear and snaked its way forward, into the man`s mouth. The ice had fallen down into the soldiers throat, freezing his words along with his heart and body.
Kellan grinned slyly at the boy. "I thought you were all talk, no action," she said, standing. "Now watch this..." she said, walking forwards. She snaked her hand outside the cell and everyone watched as her eyes glowed yellow slits and her nails and teeth grew in size. She started to put her overlong nail into the lock and turned it about, trying to open the lock.
Ram leaned on the bars, "better hurry up, i dont know where we are, do you?"
The body of the soldier began to crackle, lines formed on his skin and the mans eyes were glassed over. Ram quickly put his hand over mans mouth, he pulled and slowly water started to trickle from the soldiers lips. It ran up through Rams fingers and back into the bottle, but the color of the water had changed, it was now reddish.
"Blood," said the boy, "humans are 90% water. Sometimes, if im mad enough, i can pull the water strait from a body." As Ram spoke, the guards body grew limp, and fell to the ground head first.
Kellan nodded, and worked furiously to open the lock. Just as it clattered to the floor, another man entered the room. Kellan glanced up at him with horror in her expersion. "I.... I..." she gulped in air as the man grabbed her wrist, growling something about stupid vampires.
with the door open, 30 or more childeren were set free. They ran forward pushing the man and Kellan to the floor, the second soldier tried to scream for help, but Rams foot pounded down on his jaw. The boy continued to stomp on the mans face, even after he was dead, blood sprayed up and covered Rams legs.
"I told you not to get in my way, you c**t!" Then Ram knelt down, putting his hands into the mess that was the mans face, he pulled more water from the mans twitching body. This time the blood soaked into Rams clothing, turning his body a shade of deep red.
Kellan looked at her hands, her eyes turning yellow again as she saw the blood sprinkle it. She tried to resist, but instead found herself licking her fingers. She shuddered at the taste. She hadn't drunk for days, and it tasted good... She had been making due with water, but the blood called her. She found herself licking any blood she could find on the man's face
Ram stood back, "well ill be damned, your a bloody vampire." He laughed, "hurry up then, drink your fill we dont have all freaken day. In fact we have no time at all." The boy ran down the hall, "ill keep watch, just hurry up. And dont bite the other guy, his blood is cold, and more than likely will make you as sick as death."
Kellan glanced up from her meal to hiss at Ram. She stopped herself, shaking her head, and stood running a hand through her hair. She glanced after him and let her cheeks turn a little red, following him out of the room. She grabbed his hand and wipped the blood off her face with her sleeve. "Um... Look I promise not to get like that again... I just... I haven't drank in awhile..." She glanced at Rams neck, but shook her head at herself. She had had more then enough to fill her.
He caught her stare, "dont worry babe. If you want to snack on me, im more than willing to open a vein. Just dont kill me, and dont turn me."
Outside was cayous, children ran left and right, soldiers opened fire with smoke granades. Ram put out his arm to stop her from walking out into the open, "stay close to me." he whispered.
Kellan eyes grew large. She glanced at his neck again before looking at Rams arm. "I don't drink besides when I need to... Besides, drinking from someone other then a dead body is considered..." she felt her face turn red as she cleared her throat and glanced at Rams face to see his reaction. "A way of showing love." She looked a way from him and glanced around the room. "How are we going to get out of here?" she sighed, squeezing his arm.
"i dont have any idea where the exit is, lets just stay low and out of sight." Ram kept his back to the wall and pulled Kellan close behind him.
" i dont know much about vampires either," Ram let a crooked smile spread on his face, "but tell me, baby bat, have you ever killed anyone?"
Kellan pulled herself away from Ram and instead turned to stand in front of him and put her hands on her hips. "I have not done anything of the sort! It's against vampire law! You're only suppost to bite and not kill!" she lied. Really she had killed 16. She was really slightly suprised that Ram wasn't disgusted by her, as everyone else was.
Ram bit his lip, "against the law, huh? Then i really had you vampires confused, i thought all off you were nothing but mindless bloodsucking leeches."
Kellan glared at Ram. "Look here-" then she was grabbed from behind by a soldier who held a knife to her neck. She was caught by suprise but her eyes started to glow and her teeth and nails grow longer.
Ram was also caught off guard, "Dont ******** move!" screamed the soldier, "Or ill cut her ******** head off and drive this knife strait into her heart." Ram reached for the water, but the man pressed the knife into Kellans throat, drawing a small stream of blood. "I said, dont move you-you FREAK!"
Kellan winced and balled her hands into tight fists. She wouldn't look at Ram because she felt so stupid as to not have listened to him and now for her to have been captured. Instead she decided to try and use her powers of persuasion, as all vampires had. "Look if you just let me go then we can work something out, can't we?"
"Work what out?" said the man, "im here for one thing, and thats money. Something, you homeless peice of shits dont ******** have."
"If you let her go, i wont kill you. Thats what i have, your ******** life in my hands!" screamed Ram, he held out his hand, open palm upwards.
"Your confused, Iv got HER life in my HANDS."
Kellan gulped and winced. "Ram, just let it go..." she sighed, pleading with him. "Get out. I'll be fine."
Ram took a step forward, but before he could go any further his vision danced with spots, and a sudden thwack echoed in his ears. While being occuied with Kellans capture, he failed to notice a soldier creeping up from behind him. The man had used the butt of his gun to deliver Ram an unimaginable blow, the boys skull cracked under the pressure and blood began to pour through his tangled hair. Rams eyes rolled back instantly, he was unconcious before he hit the ground.
"Suprise, b***h." said the soldier with an evil chuckle. The man laughed harder as he kicked the helpless boy, more blood came from Rams mouth and soon a pool of red surrounded him.
Kellan gasped and hissed at the guards. When she started to change, the guard put his foot on Rams head to show he could crush it. Slowly Kellan turned back to normal and resisted the pull of Rams blood. "I'm willing to cut you all a deal..." she growled. "Don't touch him, and you can take me back to the cell and everything. Just do. Not. Touch. Him."
"Listen little lady," said the soldier, "Ill cut YOU a deal. You be a good girl and get back in your cage. Then maybe, just maybe ill let you see this boy again."
"Look at him," the other man said, "Hes bleeding so much, he might die if you dont do as we say. He needs medical help and he needs it fast, its your choice."
Kellan felt her mouth go dry at the site of all the blood. She slowly backed away towards her cage, before sprinting inside and closing the door when she was inside. She stared at Ram from where she was, determined for one last glimpse of him.
The men laughed, "thats a good girl," said the first.
And the second was quick to put another lock on the cage door, he wrapped a thick chain three times around before another lock was added. "Lets see if you can get out of that." he hissed, smacking the bars with his gun.
"And if you do," the other said, "just remember that we have your ******** boyfriend."
Kellan blinked down at the floor, her eyes starting to water. "He's not my boyfriend..." she sighed, peering at Ram through the bars. Not that I don't want him to be...

After what happened with Ram, Kellan blanked out. The next day she woke up in the cell with a guard banging on the bars. She slowly stood, and the day went on with her being taken to a white room where she was asked questions about her health and such. In a daze she answered, simply, staring forwards and not looking at the doctors. She ate lunch in a huge room with all the other children who had been recaptured.
The next day followed the same routine, except this time she was given 7 shots over her body. Kellan didn't make a move to stop the pain, except to stare at the blood and shake her head 'no' at herself.
On the third day the doctors gave her more shots and cut carefully into her arm with a knife. They put something into her blood, before scribling something down on a paper and wrapping her arms from her elbows to her knuckles in bandages. She ate lunch in the same room again.
On the fourth day she was kept in her cell, and all she did was sleep and think of her last view of Ram before the guard carted off his body. She couldn't help but worry what had happened to him.
A white light woke Ram from his slumber, "Am i dead?" he said to himself, he tried to look around but his eyes wouldnt forcus.
"Dont move," a voice suddenly said. And Ram felt a sharp pain in the side of his head. The boy twitched, pulling his head to the side, but the movement only caused more agony.
"Ah!" Ram moaned, he tried to touch is face but quickly found out that his hands were stapped down to the bed. "Where the ******** at I?" Ram hissed, tugging hard at his straps.
Finally Ram´s eyes were able to focus, he stared into a masked face, "Stop talking and lay still." the voice belonged to a doctor. Ram moaned again, the man was sewing closed the hole in the boys head. "Im suprised you can talk," said the doctor, "youv got one heck of a wound, you shouldnt even be awake."
"Im stronger than any of those p***y soldiers," Ram said with a chuckle, "They should be paying me to sew you up."
The docor laughed, actually it was more of a raspy cough, "Hahk-hahahk. I dont know about that my boy, iv got years trained into these hands. And you, your just a job."
"A job, huh? Then your just a doctor. How much are they paying you anyway?" Ram asked, while testing the straps on his legs.
Kellan got called to the doctors again. She walked past all the other rooms and felt as if she was forgetting something... She tried to think of what it was, and only came up with a blurred figure sticking out his arm to protect her. She shrugged and continued into the room, where a doctor peeled away her bandages and gave her new ones after giving her 2 shots and taking down notes on her reactions.
The doctor shrugged. "Enough." he said gruffly, looking down at Ram and tightening the leg straps. "If you were smart you wouldn't try and escape... The soldiers are still uptight about the fact your still alive."
"itll take more than this little bumb to kill me." Hissed Ram, the doctor had tightened the strap to much, now the boy felt his legs slowly falling asleep.
"Yes, i know." said the doctor, "If you dont mind me asking, kid. Whats your power? I know most of you kids are special, they told me you could move water, is it true?"
"Hah, power." laughed Ram, "Yeah, if you must know, i control water."
"Just water?" asked the doctor, he seemed very interested. "Nothing else?" The man continued to stitch, his hands moving back and forth quickly.
"Wheres Kellan?" Ram asked suddenly, his voice a little cracked.
"Who?" the doctor replied, "Is that your sister or somthing? Can she control water as well?"
Kellan stood up, looking around the room. The doctor had left her alone to herself while he went and grabbed something he ahd forgotten. So far everyone seemed to trust her because she was in shock about what had happened with Ram. Kellan's eyes widened. Ram. How could she have forgotten? Kellan quickly walked over to the door and opened it with her nails. She wandered into the hall. She planned to demand that the first room she walked into the doctor inside show her to where Ram was. She wandered up to one door and knocked, her eyes turning yellow and her fangs growing as well as her nails. She waited for the unlucky person to come open the door.
The doctor waited for Rams reply while he finished stitching up Rams head. "They did you a bad one..." he muttered, shaking his head. When he was done he wrote something down on a clipboard and turned back to Ram. "If your good you get to eat lunch with all the other kids here.... If your good. You might find your sister there." The doctor heard a knock on the door and walked over.
"Yippy..." Said Ram sarcasticly, his head felt better, and with the painkillers the doctor must have injected into him, he felt good enough to get up and walk. Rams eyes looked to the table, were all the doctors tools lay, most were covered in blood and soon Ram caught sight of something useful. It was a glass bottle, the liquid inside was colored a deep yellow. Ram didnt have the slightest idea of what the liquid could be, Piss, he thought, piss has water. With his right hand, Ram pulled his middle finger up and touched the tip of his thumb. This caused the liquid to quiver, it moved upward and pushed up against the cork. Ram increased the pressure on his fingers, and slowly the top to the bottle began to slide open. The boy quickly looked back at the doctor, who had reached the door and opened it.
Kellan burst through the door when she saw it slightly open and twirled to close it all in one movement. She then turned to the doctor and tackled him so his front side was on the floor and his back toward her. She leaned over him. "Where is Ram?" she said, her voice full of venom. The doctor choked with suprise but looked up at Kellan for a moment before glancing over at the table where Ram lay. "Where is he?", she asked again, not getting the doctor was telling her to turn around and look behind her.
Ram was so suprised, that he accidentially pulled the liquid to hard, it exploded and glass went everywhere. The so called water sprayed Ram in the face and he groaned in disgust, "Aww. ********, s**t eww." He tried to shake his head, but the restaints made it imposible.
Kellan cupped her mouth with her hands and got off the doctor and walked slowly over to Ram. "Ram? What did they do to you?" she asked, undoing his top straps and bottom ones. "Sorry... I was stupid not to listen to you..." she muttered, ashamed.
"Kellan!" Ram said, his voice full of relief. Once free Ram sat up and used his torn shirt to wipe the liquid from his face. "How did you find me?" he finally asked.
The doctor took this chance to get up and slowly step backwards to the door. He reached behind himself, and wrapped his hand around the door knob. The doctor held his breath and turned the knob, the door opened with out a sound. With the children still talking, the doctor sneaked his way out of the room and into the hallway. He planned to warn the staff of their escape.
Kellan sighed relieved. "Well I was planning to bust in here and demand to know where you were, but instead I found you in the first room I checked... Great luck, huh?" she sighed. She pulled off her jacket and handed it to him. "Your shirts soaking through. Use this." she said, handing it to him and wrapping her arms around herself. She hadn't taken off the jacket in forever. Underneath was just a black tank top.
The boy smiled, and thanked Kellan for the jacket. "Yeah." he said, "What luck. I didnt have any idea on how i was going to get loose." Ram dragged himself to the edge of the operation table, he looked down at the ground and felt a wave of dizziness. There was no pain coming from the wound on Ram's head, only an unsteady thumping. As if the boy could feel the blood coursing through his viens. "s**t," he sighed, "I dont know if i can walk, they really did a number on me. Help me down, will ya?" Ram held out one of his hands, it shook and he hoping that Kellan would take it.
