- The Three
The low hum of Penny's purrs kept everything alive, it let every single person in that dark, damp space know they are alive and couldn't escape this hell they're all living. It is their destiny.
I sat at the entrance of the cellar, Penny on my lap and the radio in my palm. Rose told me to sit still and wait for Rich to return with more victims. More fresh meat.
My radio buzzed, Rich's voice was quite unamused.
"Avilena, Sorry Ava. We have a teeny tiiny problem... I've got a twelve year old... She ages next week, we can either wait a week or risk the chance of being discovered."
"Can we not hold her here until then?"
"No we can not Eva, unless you want to be burnt and destroyed."
Rose's comment caught me out. I didn't realise she was listening. Rich backed me up.
"Ok, ok Rose. Don't bite her head off, she didn't know."
"Well that's the last time you choose who we turn. Choosing a bloody fourteen year old!"
The three beeps signing Rose's exit from our conversation made me shiver. How could that bitch be so heartless. Maybe she really had turned off her humanity.
"Ava, Don't listen to her, it's just the stre..." I switched my Radio off. I didn't want to know.

I heard footsteps in the distance. I was unfamiliar to their voice but I could tell whoever they were wasn't human. They were like us.
Their shadow appeared from the trees, I knew exactly who these men were. As they stood before me I got to my feet and curtsied. There were three of them, all male, all immortal, all gorgeous.
The dark one looked me up and down, I knew exactly what he was doing. He was trying to guess my age.
"Well you're a young one aren't you. A pretty one also. Now I've heard a little rumour that you're not the only one here are you. Where's my dear Rosalinne.
"Why I'm right here Sven. Now tell me why you are."
Rose's voice was sweet but you could detect the spite in it with ease.
"We'll I heard you were around these days and I thought I'd drop by. Oh and I also heard you were building an army of Newborns."
He grinned at Rose like a snake would before it attacked its pray. This was about to become interesting.
