The doors were creaking with that sound that was crushing whole her world so easily, it was sound that disturbed people in their sleep, sound that made them uneasy and yet for her it was sound of hope. Sound that made her stand up every time she heard it, the sound of huge metal doors swinging toward outside and faint light of candle that burned somewhere behind them, it was sound that awoke her every day at exact same time, it was always there to tell her that she still existed, that she was still there neither alive or dead, but still it was sign that time was passing. If there wasn't for that sound she would be lost, unable to confirm that her body was still moving, that she still longed for blood and killing as she did the first night after she has been changed. Weak body slowly rose, using the wall for support she brought her self up, standing tall and full of that strange pride which was never going to be taken away from her. Her long azure hair was dump from sweat, dirty from years of neglecting, it fell over her shoulders like some old rag and glistened in that faint light that was hidden behind those huge metal doors. Shadow stepped into the frame and her light green eyes watched dark figure, her body shaking more because she was lacking strength to stand like that then in from fear.
Her torturer just stood there, watching her, enjoying in seeing her half broken like that, expecting from her to fall down and beg for food, but Lanai kept herself quiet, those green eyes still possessing same fire as she had while she was still able to breath air, that fire which was best picture of her temper, of her always changing temper. Many said that she was going to change during the years she was still young for a vampire, or at least she was young when they caught her and threw her into this dungeon. Since the moment she hit the stone floor of this small and dirty place she knew she was going to be kept as an animal, that she was never going to be seen as human again, after all human's were worse then beasts when it came to torturing the thing they feared. Lanai closed her eyes for a brief moment, she spent two hundred years walking this world as an undead, she was taught by her master about everything from which her new world consisted now, it was like learning to walk and talk again, more then once she felt like child whose time was yet to come.... Children are great at learning new things, but at same time they lack patience and Lanai wasn't exception from that, she could remember thinking that she knew everything she had to and could still feel the desire to start exploring the world on her own. Such a childish thoughts those were, thoughts of inexperienced baby who was unable to see the whole picture before.
Shadow form moved and something hit the ground, she could see the large sack moving on the floor in front of the form and like a wild animal she felt urge to eat, her drinking teeth came out, the two white teeth glistening in the light while her green eyes were clocked on the bag. Tongue came out to wet those lips that were still full of wounds she made by biting herself to trick her hunger. In that moment any spectator would have seen a beast watching its future prey that was trapped into that sack, prey that was more then aware of starving predator that inhabited this prison cell. ''Eat,'' ordered voice and with that door closed and she was back into everlasting darkness, back to silence that was only being broke by sounds of scared animals that were coming from the sack. Without waiting even one moment Lanai jumped on the sack, her once delicate hands ripping it off and easily catching first rabbit...
...Lifeless body hit the stone wall, the skull cracking on the impact and brain painting the wall and spilling over the floor, it stunk and made her feel like beggar, but still she came caught the other rabbit and her drinking teeth found their way to poor animal's neck artery, feeding the beast that was roaring inside of her with that warm and tick liquid, calming her for now and giving her that small amount of sanity which was supposed to keep her until the next meal. She sighed throwing the other corpse at the wall as well and just falling on her knees. Lanai felt anger, she felt unbelievable sorrow, but rage was quick to cover it as her whole body slammed against the door that kept her away from freedom. Two ribs cracked and she felt the sting of pain, but instead of stopping her body moved and she crashed against the metal again and again and again. She was crushing her body against it for maybe a hour before she fell down, exhausted with almost completely broken body, Lanai would have breathed if she was alive, but now only thing she could do was to stare at the dark floor under her. Her weakness easily took charge over her, making her lean against the cold metal, making her feel the pain that rage kept away till now, she hated herself, she hated her master for making her vampire, but before anything she hated her family for they were the ones who were keeping her here locked and almost completely forgotten.
''I will revenge,'' she murmured before tiredness took charge over her and her eyes closed, body sliding against the metal and finally she was getting the rest Lanai so badly needed.

Might want to read over your story to check for mistakes, mainly grammer. For example, you tend to leave out the word 'a' in sentences:
'it was A sound that disturbed people in their sleep, A sound that made them uneasy...'
Besides that, not too bad! wink - Report As Spam
