Eternal
The Only Way You Can Make Me Smile is if You Cut Me Ear to Ear
Blue’s POV
Hmm…Jynx was still face down on the floor, barely eating. I hope she’s still breathing. We had kind of forgotten about her for the past week. Hey, it was an accident! She was so quiet and always sleeping so we constantly forgot she was here.
The rest of us were restless. We refused to be fed from. We refused them trying to cuddle or touch us. We. Refused. Everything.
I think Annabelle and Luna were suffering most. The two were always so close to their Masters, I think that this was emotionally wearing them down, but those two were our strongest supporters. Lunes never let Alex touch Annabelle and vice versa.
But yes, the Masters had to feed at some point before they all became overpowered with bloodlust. Oli was usually the crony forced to hold down off the others until the vampire was finished.
But Jynx never fought. Austin always would sit with her on occasion. She wouldn’t acknowledge him on any basis. He would sit there and stroke her hair as she closed her eyes and looked away from him.
I heard Oli come downstairs again. Everyone leapt up and got ready to defend their fellow cellmates. The keys jingled as he unlocked the door and came into the deathly silent room. The boys on the opposite corner had halted their conversation to glower at him.
“I just need Kellin.” Oli sighed. Misty had nearly broken his arm last time he came towards one of us. I could tell that Sykes wasn’t going to want to do whatever the others wanted him to.
The boys didn’t back talk, but rather, they formed a little half circle around Kellin who looked kind of scared and confused.
“What do you want with him?” Tony snarled. Oli sighed. I glanced at a goblet in his hand.
“Just blood.”
“No.” They all responded in a deep unison. Oli sighed and rubbed his hand as if he had a bad headache.
“Look, it’s for a new vampire. Please, it’s a friend of mine. She used to be a Witcher like me but was turned by Alan.” Oli begged. I saw the pleading in his eyes. He really wasn’t telling a lie. The boys softened up for just a moment.
“No, nothing.” Vic reaffirmed. Although he was considerably shorter than Oliver, he matched up in personality. The boys tightened their circle around Kellin.
“Come on, Vic! She’s going to die otherwise!” Oli pleaded. Kellin looked at him curiously.
“Who is it?” He asked in a tiny voice. Oli’s expression softened a bit. The ink on his skin seemed to fade from the sadness.
“Lily. She’s going to be your Master, but she’s pretty much already bonded to Alan.” Oliver shrugged. Kellin perked up.
“Wait, promotion?” He asked. Oli nodded. The other boys shook their heads. Although a promotion meant little down here, it would mean he got a different cell and didn’t do as much work as now. In a spare moment of silence, Oli lunged forward, plunged the key into the lock, and threw the door open. The boys all tumbled towards him to protect Kellin.
“Run, run fast and far! Shoot across the sky like the light of a dying star!” I screamed my encouragement. Everyone was starting to shout their own excitement as the boys pulled at Oli. I had no clue how the new vampire did it, but he pushed Kellin out and managed to dislodge himself from Jaime’s grasp and dodge a blow by Mike. Slamming the door closed, he panted heavily. Bruises appeared under the pale flesh. Kellin cowered on the floor.
“Dammit, I don’t like this process.” Oli visibly shivered. Vic, Tony, Mike, and Jaime all looked enraged as Oliver bit Kellin’s neck and let the blood flow into the goblet.
“No promotion! No promotion!” Kellin struggled against the pain of being bitten for the first time. His eyelids fluttered closed as the blood flowed out of him. Soon, he passed out and Oliver held up the cup triumphantly. Stepping over Kellin’s body, he exited the door to go deliver it.
“Kellin, wake up!” Annabelle called to him. Kellin stirred but didn’t answer.
“Come on, Kells! Let’s get up now!” Grey-Girl soothed. We all sighed a little, looking at his sleeping form. As we watched him grumble back to life, I saw a smile twitch onto his lips.
“I got a promotion!” He mumbled before passing out onto the cold tile again. Despite screaming bloody murder for not wanting the promotion, he had finally accepted his fate.
Just like all of us down here.

Just like all of us down here.
Notes
THANK YOU SO MUCH GUYS! Seriously, thanks a bunch for making this story reach 10,000+ views and have so many subscribers! It's all to you (the reader!) to make the story how it is! One another positive note...WE'RE THREE VOTES AWAY FROM STARTING THE CONTEST!!! And guess what? I've expanded it!
So here's how it'll break down:
The contest is going to challenge your creativity. You'll be given three random things and told to write a one shot featuring those people/places/things! They will have to be fairly important to the story line, but you've got free reign as long as the three things are included! Another twist: You have to pick a side (Witcher or Vampire) and write in the POV as a an OC on that side! It's going to challenge your the limits of the imagination, but it'll make it all the more fun! You can make it as long or as short as you want, I don't care!
(PS-Humor appreciated, but not required! I'll accept drama, comedy, romance, anything as long as it isn't just a copy of my writing or someone else's!!! All I want is creativity. The more creative the story is....the better!)
But the best part?.....PRIZES!!!
So I've changed it since I first announced it. I'm going to do a first, second and third place. Here's how it will break down:
- Third Place: A small square 12" by 12" custom painting of your favorite band's logo or name. (Ex: The ampersand for OM&M, the letters MIW, or the sempiternal logo for BMTH.)
- Second Place: A 16" by 20" (or slightly smaller depending on the stock of the art store I buy from, but it won't be smaller by much, only a couple of inches!) custom painting of LYRICS for your favorite song by your favorite artist. (Example: "Faithfulness at it's Finest" by OM&M, "Give Me Therapy" by ATL.) For the lyrics, it can't be too long since I only have so much area to work with!
- First Place: A custom 16" by 20" painting (I can guarantee it to be this size, even if it takes me an extra few days to order it from the store.) of your favorite LYRICS to any song by your favorite band. ANNNNNDDDDDDD.....your chance to be a very important character in the sequel to "Eternal"!!! You'll get to design the character how you want it to look, act, but it will play an important role in the sequel!
I really need this story to update I love it so much!
