Hey all.

I know that this story is still a little rough; there are many new characters I want to work in and just haven't found out how yet. But they will be put in here, just not sure yet. Hahaha.

LOVE YOU ALL!!

Empty Room

This girl could have made my dead heart beat again; I wasn't sure what it was about her. The long legs, the way her green eyes shined with beauty, the strong facial features, or the pink lips so plump I wanted to kiss her right then and there. Though after I noticed that good things, I saw the bad, her hair was a mess, dirt was smeared all over her pants and shirt and I swear there were smudges of blood on the end of her shirt which was torn on the bottom.

"Are you Aya's uncle?" Her voice rang, so soft like a bird's song.
"Yes, I'm Luc Kay. Well my name is Mark Lucas Kay, but my family and friends call me Luc, unless their mad then they call me Mark." I was babbling and I knew that, everyone around me was giving me weird looks as I did this. They knew, I told myself, they knew. "Do you know where my niece and sister are?"
"Yes, but I don't know how much longer they are going to be there. We didn't make the quietest escape." She rubbed her cheek with her hand; her eyes kept skipping from face to face.
"Take me there." I held out my hand and she looked down at like it was filled with disease. "Trust me." She grabbed my hand, making it feel like it was on fire, I wondered if she felt it too. "I'm going to have to link into your mind so that I can send us to where you were. Leofrick take Quil to his family."

I pulled this beauty to me and realized she was much shorter than me, I rested my chin on the top of her head and wrapped my arms around her, and she did the same. I closed my eyes and tapped into my power, even though I knew it would cost me. I looked into her mind's eye and saw the last place she was. A cold, dark room with dirt floors and no windows. We were there in a flash, she pulled away from me quickly and her face fell as she looked around the room.

"Their gone." I thought if she could cry, she would.

But I couldn't say anything back; my sister's scent was all over this place, my nieces too. There was one scent I didn't know, a scent I knew was the bastard's Marcus's. Quil and Beauty where mixed in the air and with the dirt. But my sister and niece were moved just moments before. I cursed myself for not moving fast enough; I could see that Beauty was doing the same thing. Her face was pained and she looked around with a stunned look on her face.

"Was there anything wrong with them?" I kneeled down and touched the dirt where Binky's scent was the most strong.
"Aya's wrist were cut up pretty badly and well her ankles were broken…Binky was still out cold." She wouldn't look at me as she said this.
"How did her ankles get that way?" I grabbed a handful of dirt and brought to my nose. Binky was here, so close.
"Marcus…" She walked over to spot that had blood spots, I wondered whose it was "He did something to my boyfriend, gave me his blood to drink when I got so weak I almost attacked Aya and Quil."

It felt like my heart was breaking, she had someone. Someone that was hurt and she wanted to bring him to safety. I could tell, it was written all over her face, the way she ran her fingers over the blood spots in the dirt. I knew I would help, I knew I would bring her to this boyfriend one way or another.

"Let's check out the rest of the house." She stood and walked over to the door, she turned the knob and it swung open.

I walked after her, staying close to her. She seemed like a dream though I knew she wasn't, I knew this place wasn't. But the dream was ruined when I found out there was someone she cared for and loved. So I walked after her not saying anything, just following her like I knew what I was doing. She didn't look back at me; she didn't even act like I was there. She stood by a door and pressed her face to it; she closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Her eyes popped open and she began to bang her body against the door, but of course it didn't work.

"Stop, if Marcus was here he made these doors strong enough to stand up against our strength, the castle doors are made the same way." I placed my hand on her arm and pushed her out of the way. "Stay back."

I closed my eyes and called on the rest of my power, I knew I was pushing it using my powers like this without Binky here to help me or close enough for our power and energy to feed off each other I was getting weaker. And using my power like this was making it worse. I could feel it winding its way through my body and to my finger tips. When I finally opened my eyes my hands were glowing and so was the door. I pushed hard and the door burst into a million of pieces.

I gasped for air and fell back, the power had been too much and the distance between me and Binky was getting farther. Beauty ran over to me and grabbed my hand, I was breathing hard trying to calm down the little power I had left. I closed and opened my eyes a few more times, but of course what I hated the most about these was the flashbacks that usually came with them.

The young boy was awake now, his arm was pounding, and he knew it was broken. He couldn't hear anything, it sounded like he was alone. He cursed the fact that his first power wasn't hearing, no it was scent. Stupid scent he kept thinking. He opened his eyes and noticed a box in front of him; he knew what it was right away. The present for his sister, he used his good arm to pull it towards him and hug it. He knew he was in the dark room alone; there was no one else in there. He tried telling himself over and over that he was a man now and that men didn't cry when they weren't with their mom and dad's. But the scene of when his mother was hit with some power kept playing in his mind over and over. He knew that whatever happened wasn't right.

He stood and walked around the room, he left the present where he was sitting before so he knew how big the room was. He used his good arm to feel the walls, it was a small room. When he bumped the present with his feet, he sat back down. He was breathless, his arm hurt so bad it had just hung by his side while he walked around. He was sitting there running his fingers over the box when the door opened.

The light that came was so blinding that he had to lift up his arm to shield his eyes, he could tell from the outline of the body that this person was a female and he shudder to think of what this woman was going to do with him. He pulled his legs up to his chest and tried to back away from her, but the wall was of course right behind him. Then the woman spoke.

"Don't worry honey, I'm not here to hurt you, I'm here to save you." Then she reached out for him with long skinny arms.

I sat up straight and hit heads with Beauty; she bounced back and landed on her butt. She put her hand to head, but after a couple of seconds started to laugh. I just stared at her.

"I'll never get used to that not hurting, well I'm sure you are. You are old enough to be used to it, but I'm new to this world and all." She smiled and I've never seen a more beautiful thing.
"Not to be rude or anything, but what is your name?" I titled my head and she smiled.
"Tammy." She stood up and offered me her hand, I took it and she pulled me up, but she became worried when I almost fell again, "What's wrong?"
"The more I use my power while I'm not around Binky, the weaker I get." The worried look grew, "That's why we are trying to find them so hard, Binky so she can be reunited and Aya so she can bring back Embry and be safe at home."
"There is something you should know Luc…" She looked away from me.
"What? What's wrong?"
"Marcus stole Aya's power to bring people back from the dead." It felt like everything I had went out of me right then.
"FUCK!" I ripped away from her and leaned against the wall. Everything was coming apart and I was getting weaker. I hadn't told Tammy the worst part, the part that if I kept going on like this I could die.
"Let me search this room and we'll go. I smelled something of Masen's, my boyfriend, and then we will go." She ran into the room as I stood there.

Thinking about the power I would have to use to get us back to the castle made me dizzy. I knew that just doing that would be pushing it, but I had to get us back there. I would have someone else bring her back here to search the house. That way maybe she could find something that would help us to find Aya, Binky, and of course Masen. She came back in the room carrying a blood stained shirt and a pair of just as equally stained pants, she threw them on the floor and walked over to me.

"I'm ready to go. That's all that was in there, well there was a knife, but I couldn't stand to touch that." She shook with disgust and I wrapped my arms around her again.
"I'll send you back with someone else to check the rest of the house. I don't have enough power another trip like this." I closed my eyes and started to think of the castle.
"I don't want to come with anyone else, but for you." She whispered right before I sent us off.

Before we could talk about what she last said I went crashing to the floor, my world was going black as I tried with everything I had to fight it, but it couldn't be stopped. The last thing I heard was Tammy screaming for help.

----3 hours later---

When I woke up I was in my own chambers in my own bed, I couldn't remember the last time I had actually been in this bed before. I looked around, my eyes still heavy and saw Tammy sitting beside me also sleeping. I smiled and closed my eyes again and went back to sleeping.

Of course when I dream it doesn't seem that way. When I closed my eyes to the real world I opened them up to my dream world. I sat by the pond and waited to see if she would come, I wanted to see her so badly and see if there was some way she could fight against what is happening to us.

It seemed like a matter of seconds before she sat by my side and reached out her hand. I took the small pale hand and smiled. It felt good to see her again, to feel her again. It felt like such a long time since the last time.

"So mother have you found out where your ashes are?"

Well my dears that is the second chapter. The third one should be coming shortly.
