She laid in the bed, facing the ceiling. Her heart beat was beating uncontrollably. She gathered enough of herself to let out an ear piercing scream. Her scream echoed through the emptiness. Her heart fell when know one showed. She sat up and slid out of bed, ignoring the pain. You are Amethyst Rose Heart. You can do this, She thought harshly to herself. She instinctively made her way to the door, that lead out of the pitch black room. She pushed it open and light flooded the room.
She stepped out in the hallway. The walls around her were old and brown. It gave her the chills as she scanned up and down the long hallway. She walked towards the right of the hallway, following her gut. She walked and walked. The old brown walls never changed. Then what seemed to be her sister yelling. She heard, "Rose! Are you here?" It was Alexia. Her oldest sister. She called her by her middle name incase an enemy was around. Amethyst darted toward her sister's shouts.
As I ran following my dear sisters voice, hope swelled inside of me. I ran faster with every step I took. I raced down the hallway and before I could stop myself, I ran right into a girl. She was tall, with long blackish brown hair. Beautiful silver mist looking eyes. Her pale face reflected in the light and making her face looked rosy red. Her pale pink lips spread into a smile, showing teethe as white as pearls. "Rose!" The girl said. Her voice sound like a gentle beach breeze. She didn't have to try to make herself heard. Every head would turn to her as soon as she spoke. Then my memory came back. "Ale- Lilly!" I said, stopping myself from saying her real name.
She nodded and pulled me into her arms. "I'm so glad your alright! I cant believe those nasty vampire hunters would capture a 15 year old girl in her sleep! Worst of all, you haven't eaten a thing in a week! Your as skinny as a string!" She said, looking at me directly in the eyes. "I'm alright. How do we get home?" I asked. She winked at me and said, "Don't doubt your 18 year old sister." Alexia said in a mischievous tone. I giggled. She took my forearm and took me down another long hallway. "Where the heck are we?" I asked. "The V-H main headquarters. Don't worry. Elizabeth, Seth and Jake smoked them out. Easy.." She stopped and looked at me. "Peasy." I finished for her, with a smile on my face. She continued walking.
She pulled me into a large room. Three huge couches and a couple of tables were about the room. A flat screen TV was hanging on the wall. On one of the three huge couches sat Elizabeth, Jake, Seth and Rosemary. "Amy!" They chanted when they saw me. "Her memory is a little blurry. Give her a bit before you expect her to remember you." Alexia said. I walked over and sat beside Elizabeth and Rosemary.
I looked at little Rosemary. Her feet were dangling off the edge of the couch. She was just a little 6 year old full of pain, rage and happiness. Her light brown hair feel around her face down to mid-back. Her green eyes would see right to your heart. Her heart shaped face with her pink lips covered her small white teeth. Her voice would ring like little bells chiming in the wind. I remembered her as "Our little Sun Beam". Her pink and yellow sun dress was blood stained and ripped. She looked up and me and grinned, "I got to fight, Amy!" She said cheerfully. "I can tell, Sun Beam." I said. She giggled and laid back on the couch. "Our little trooper fought her heart out today. She did a great job." Jake said moving the little girl to where he head was in his lap. Jake and Rosemary were biological brother and sister, but were adopted into my family when Rosemary was just a baby. A few years later my parents had died, leaving us in the care of my loving grandmother.
I pulled my gaze away from the beautiful little girl, to look at my adopted brother in the eyes. He had the same color hair and eyes as Little Rosemary. He was tall and sturdy. His shirt was ripped and blood covered. He had a deep cut down his arm. Jake was my age. 15 years old. His oval shaped face and light tan made him look intimidating. "Fight hard?" I asked. "You bet." He nodded once and grinned. I smiled back. I turned my attention to Elizabeth.
Elizabeth's dark brown hair fell down to her back. With her light purple mist looking eyes and pink pale cheeks highlighted her pale face. Her long eyes lashed fell down on her cheeks when she would blink. She was average in height and slim, like Alexia. Its is very difficult to tell their voices apart. "Lizzie?" I asked. "Yeah, Amy?" She said. "Ok. I was just making sure. My mind is still whirling." I said. "Ok." She answer. Elizabeth was 17 for sure.
I looked at Seth. He could be Alexia's twin. I looked at Alexia who was sitting beside him. "Yes, we are twins." Alexia said before I had a chance to even open my mouth. I nodded. His short hair was the same color as Alexia's. His eyes were the darkest blue I had ever seen. His face was oval shaped and tired. "When will we go home?" I asked. Rosemary's sleepy eyes glanced at me. "I am not sure." Her bell of a voice was weak and tired. "How about now? Rosemary wont be getting any sleep until we get home and I don't think Amy will, either." Jake said, smoothing out his little sisters hair. Seth stood up. "Lexi, think you can make it to the car?" Seth asked. She stood up, strongly. "Yes I can." She snapped. Elizabeth stood up as well. "Same here." She commented. Rosemary sat up and clung to my are.
I pulled the little girl in my lap. "Think you can carry her? I doubt she will be able to walk." Jake said. "Yeah, I can carry her." I said and stood up with Rosemary in my arms. I followed Seth, Alexia and Elizabeth out the door. Jake stayed right behind me. We walked through the hallways, twisting and turning. At one point I even thought we would get lost. We passed all kinds of rooms and doors. Finally we came to the door that lead outside. Seth opened it, and the first thing I saw was the beautiful summer sunset. The summer evening wind breezed blew my hair back. I took in a deep breath of fresh air. I saw a two door large Ford truck. It was black with a white strip wrapping around it.
"Come on! Get in!" I heard Elizabeth shouting, bringing me back from my daydream. The were already in the truck. I hurried over and climbed in the back. Jake and Seth sat in the front, arguing over how to get back. Alexia sat in the middle, leaning forward over the seat and giving them the right directions. Elizabeth sat in the window seat. She had her headphones in, tuning out everyone else. Rosemary curled up in my lap and soon, she drifted off to sleep. I laid my head back and went to sleep.
