My head was spinning as we shot up the tube. I was aware of Tanner's arms around me, but only slightly. Time and space itself seemed to be bending. Thousands of things passed by us, colors shapes, people, places, even some things I had no name for. Everything and nothing all at once . Breaking through the barriers, leaving the world behind . Rainbows danced before us, I couldn't point out particular objects anymore ,it all just blurred together, in one horridly fantastic blob.
And still we rose, at speeds faster than light. I was flying and falling at the same time. It was terrifying and beautiful mixed all together. The blob of colors was getting closer to us, closing in. Then I realized what was happening The tube was shrinking! I wanted to scream, but I couldn't find my voice. Smaller and smaller the space got until it was squeezing us together! Awful pressure was pushing against my body, and it only got worse. I thought I was about to explode!
Then I slammed into something, and the vortex disappeared. I lay panting for several moments, then became aware of my surroundings. I was on top of a bed inside a small room. Before I could investigate, I suddenly felt nauseous and vomited on the floor. Someone held my hair back, and I looked and saw it was Tanner. He pulled me back onto the bed and I began sobbing into his t-shirt. It was only after several minutes my head began to clear as I got over the worst of the shock. I recalled the journey here and I wondered where we were.
I shivered in Tanner's grip, his arms were ice cold, almost like granite. Was it really that cold in here? I checked the thermostat on the wall.82 degrees. I looked at him, he was clearly deep in thought. Our eyes met and I gasped in disbelief. Staring at me was an unnaturally pale faced Tanner, with golden eyes!
There was only one place where people looked like that. Twilight. At least I knew where we were now, but I didn't care anyway. I stared at him frozen with shock.
"What?"he asked. My mouth moved but no words came out.
"Janelle What is it?!"he repeated getting worried.
"You…you're… like… a….a…."
"Just tell me!"he yelled.
"a….vampire," I whispered the last a moment he said
"What. The. Hell?! You're lying!"
"Look at yourself!"
He went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. I wasn't sure if it was possible, but when he came back his face was even more pale.
"But how?"he said.
"I think when we went through the tube thing we ended up in Twilight, it's the only book where vampires look like that."
"Great, so now we're in a book, and I have to drink blood, perfect."(note sarcasam)he looked and saw my horrified expression.
"It's okay I won't hurt you," he assured me coming to sit on the bed, "it could have been worse, we could be-"he never finished the sentence, because another vampire entered the room. The newcomer's eyes were crimson red and I knew that wasn't a good sign.
"Well, well, well," he sneered," what do we have here?"he began to advance toward me, but Tanner got in his way.
" Stay away from her!"Tanner yelled. The vampire knocked him out of the way, then, went strait for me. I heard a snap as he broke my arm, then screamed as he used his pointed nails to cut my leg open. Blood gushed out. This guy was sick! I would have been absolutely disgusted if he hadn't just broken my other leg. Tanner got back up and pulled him off of me. But I knew Tanner was Young and couldn't win, so I went on screeching in pain and fear. The evil vampire was back on me now. This seriously reminded me of the time Bella was attacked by James, exept we were losing.
I wasn't sure what he was doing now, my whole body hurt. I was crying out in pain, I just wanted the vampire to finish me off. Tanner stood up one more time and rammed into the man's side. I heard the vampire shriek with rage as Tanner grabbed me up, then an echoing crash as he jumped through the window. Shards of glass flew everywhere as we fell down, down, down. We'd been on one of the top floors of a ten story hotel! He ran with me through the streets, until we got to a forest.
Still holding my limp body, he sat on his knees in the snow. I was still losing blood, and everything was throbbing. I was slowly slipping out of my body somehow. Darkness was trying to override my vision. I was dying, and I knew it. But I fought to stay here, to stay with Tanner. Oddly I replayed a song in my head, it seemed to fit my mood. It was the slow part in I Belong To You by Muse. The one that's like, in French.
"Ah! Reponds ma tendresse
Verse-moi, verse –moi l'ivresse
Reponds ma tendresse
Reponds ma tendresse
Ah! Verse-moi l'ivresse"
I heard Tanner's sobs pause while I sang this in my head.
"Verse-moi,verse-moi l'ivresse
Reponds ma tendresse
Reponds ma tendresse
Ah! Verse-moi l'ivresse
I belong,
I belong, to you, alone"
"Janelle is the you?"he asked, had he been hearing my thoughts? No. He would have answered that question by now. I tried the song again.
"Ah! Verse-moi l'ivresse
I belong,
I beIong, to you, alone "
"Janelle?!"he asked again. Clearly he was hearing the song. I summoned the very last of my energy to lift up my hand. He took it with one of his.
"Tanner, "I whispered , "I belong to you," It was tacky I know, but I couldn't say anything else. In the next instant the world went black.
(Cliffhanger hahaha ,but I'm already half done with the next chapter so :P btw I belong to you is an awesome song! Don't 4get 2 review)
