Free Victim of the Night (Night Trilogy Book 1) by E.R. Willis

It’s very comfortable. I took my hammer and went upstairs. I sat at a table, and waited for everyone to come for the meeting.

Chapter 18
     
     
    The throne room is filled, and everyone is wearing their vampire armor. Lord Erebus sat at his throne with Blaze standing by his side. “We are going to strike at three different places tonight. We must move quickly. We have to get all this done before sunrise. I’m leaving a handful of vampires here to guard, so when you finish your task, return back to the fortress. Listen closely, one group of vampires are going to attack and destroy the power and light building. We need to send fear to everywhere here. The other group is going to attack and destroy Katz Inc. downtown. Ravine Katz is the owner of that building. That’s where he makes a living, and money, making propane tanks. The next group is going to be a small group. Starr and Lord Obsidian will track down Ravine Katz’s daughter. Kill her,” Lord Erebus said, standing up.
    “ Everyone who wants to go and destroy the power plant, come with me, and everyone who wants to destroy Katz Inc. follow Lord Erebus,” Mr. Pixy yelled. “Everyone go!”
    Lord Erebus and Mr. Pixy rushed down the middle of the throne room, and out the fortress with hundreds of v ampires following close behind. The throne room emptied, and all who’s left is Blaze and myself. “Do you have any ideas where the daughter might be?” Blaze asked.
    “I hate to admit it, but yes. She lives on campus at the college. She would brag about how she would drink all night and party. I think that’s why she lives at the dorms instead of with her family?” I said.
    “Great! Do you know which room? That way we can kill her and get it over with,” Blaze said.
    “Yes. Like I said, she brags about having parties, so of course she would say her room number. Good thing I remembered,” I said. “Follow me.”
    Blaze and I turned into bats and flew to the college campus. I told him what room was hers from the outside. Blaze and I swooped by the window to take a look. We landed in a tree and turned ourselves back to normal. “She’s about to have a party. Did you see all those cases of beer? You must take her out now before everyone else arrives,” Blaze said.
    “ It makes sense. She works, and she probably just got off? Wait, what! I have to kill her?” I asked, facing Blaze.
    “Yes! You have to do it! It’ll be your first kill,” Blaze said. “Try out that new hammer, or claw her face off ? Whatever you want to do? I’ll be here waiting.”
    “ How do you want me to get in there?” I asked him.
    “Break in through the window, kill her fast, and come back out. Easy,” he said. “Come on, we have only a little time before everyone else shows up.”
    I sighed. I didn’t want to do this. I have always hated her guts, and she always made me feel so unappreciated in class, so maybe I can use this anger to do it? I can do this! I jumped off the tree and ran to her window. I reached for my side where I have my hammer. I took it in my grasp, tighten the grip, and swung the hammer at the window. The window shattered into pieces, and the sound was loud in the dead silence of the night.
    I jumped in through the broken window and into her room. She stood in front of me. Her face shows true fear as I neared her with my hammer. “Starr! You’re alive? I’m sorry!” she pleaded.
    I didn’t say anything. She put me through hell in school. She’d call me names, she’d push me in the hallways, she’d trip me in the classrooms, she’d say bad rumors about me, and above all, she tried to kill me for my money! I hate her so much! I struck her with the hammer on the side of her head. She screamed, but I could still hear her bones cracking in her skull. She fell to the floor, bleeding. She was still alive. Good, I didn’t want to hit her hard. I wanted her to feel pain.
    “Why?” she asked, crying.
    I shrugged, and hit her again, but this tim e in the
