Chapter 11~ OK, this chapter is a bit well, I would say not as good because like I wrote a version of this not to long ago and I was really proud of it. I thought it was perfect and yadi yeah. But recently My friend erased everything on my computer including that ( I put my old ones in a jump drive before that) So I was extremely sad to see it gone. I tried so hard to remember and write it down. And I actually wrote with my dad's computer which is REALLY small. And I had to use notepad. So yea. I hope you like the idea though =)

PLEASE REVIEW

Chapter 11

I woke up in the same position i was months ago. Hogtied and knocked out.

That was the way it always ended when Rashel and I first met. I would talk to her, She would try to Kill me, then some how i would wake up tied up with a head ache. It was really getting annoying.

I realized I wasn't out for very long, which was a very good thing. The first thing i saw when I opened my eyes were the tiny stars and the bright moon. I quickly sat up, It was hard though. Both my hands were tied behind me and my legs were tied from the ankles. I gave the ropes on my hands a hard but quick tug and they ripped off. I was relieved. If they were bass cords, Which I did get tied up in once, It would take a long time to until myself.

The ropes were hard and rough but it stood no chance against me. I leaned down to untie my legs, i fumbled with the ropes knowing i had no time to waste.

I had to find Rashel. I rather die then to find her hurt...or worse.

My legs finally came loose and i stood up. Brushing my self off, I ran into the mansion. It was dark but i could see through it. The only light came from the moon. Running up the stairs as fast as i could. which would be about one city to another in 5 minutes, I reached James and Poppy's room. I didn't knock on the door, just knocked it down.

Nothing about the door or anything else mattered to me right now, Only Rashel and finding her. I would kill my self if anything happened to her.

I ran into the room to see Poppy ready to yell at me from her bed and James on his bed wiping his face with his hands.

" WHAT THE HELL QUINN!" Poppy exploded,but i didn't have anytime to mingle. I ran out of the room leaving Poppy and James debating about my nightly 'visits'. My next stop was Keller's room, which only left me with a punch in the face.

Jez and Morgead? Ditto.

I ran and ran all over the mansion. I didn't even care about how tired or how many Daybreakers were going to kill me after wards. I just had to find her.

Room by Room i went, there was still no sign of Rashel. I even barged in on Thierry and Hannah Making out to some chick flick. You could say i was lucky it was Hannah who slapped me. I was glad i didn't start a riot, everyone I disturbed were too tired to care and apparently went back to sleep, they were lucky i only knocked down Poppy and James's door.

The last room before I drove up the stairs was Gillian's. When I opened their door, it was only David who reacted. Gillian just laid there on her bed. It was strange but I said a quick sorry and dove up the stairs.

By now, i was on the fourth floor, leaving me with 2 more to go. I was drenched in sweat and i was slowing down by the minute. I stopped and put one hand on the corner of the wall. Panting heavily. I was about to go to Delo's room when i heard rattling in the room behind the corner. I slowed my breath and quietly walked towards the door. It was Iliana's room, and it was open.

Slowly i slipped through the opening of Iliana's room and backed up on the walls of the small hallway. Hands clenched, Body tapped to the wall. There was somebody else in here, and I was pretty sure they weren't invited by Iliana. I hesitated before bringing my head to see who the person was. I was 50 % sure it could be Rashel, but i still had to check. Taking one deep breath, i peeked my head to the corner of the wall. My eyes widened at the sight.

There in front of my very eyes was Rashel, face covered in black With a silver knife held by her two hands poised over the bed . I couldn't see clearly but i was positive it was Iliana sleeping on the bed. Rashel was beside it. The knife had no blood, but all i could do was give a sigh of relief. But that very sight gave me the answers i was looking for: Rashel wanted to kill Iliana. Or to be more accurate. The Wild Power.

But why? Rashel hated the vampires of Night World. She would kill one if she saw one. Much less help them destroy the world...and...me. That very though almost made me break down crying.

All i had gotten from the hypnosis was that a strange girl was part of it. I couldn't remember who it was. No matter how hard i tried. I almost got trapped in my own mind trying to figure out the obvious, but i knew for one thing. Rashel had saved me from it. I heard her voice inside my head when i was trapped. I heard her trying to wake me up. Out of all the screaming, including Poppy's, Rashel's little voice woken me up. And i was positive.

I flashed back to Rashel. Though she had her scarf covering her face, i could tell she was tense. Maybe even frightened. She wasn't standing up tall like her usual self, but more like slumping, like Ash. The knife was extremely sharp and extremely close to the target. Rashel was gripping it tight, the blade shined in the light. Her hair looked silvery in the light of the moon gleaming through the open window, it was shining on the exposed places of her face, making it extremely pale. She was beautiful, but I wasn't going to stand here and admire her at the time like this.

I was scared. Mostly about two things.

Rashel could destroy the world with one Move and 2) i could lose my Soul mate, But never the less, I will not Give up. Even if the price is my life.

I was ready for any move Rashel would make. My eyes widened as Rashel removed one hand. I nearly leaped up when I saw her next action, but quickly got back Into position when I realized exactly what she was doing.

Her free flew to the side of her neck, to the exact spot where i tried to bite her. But didn't, I couldn't. When I saw Rashel's frightened face I couldn't bring my self to do it. i just couldn't.

I watched as she ran her fingertips through it. After a few seconds, her hand fell to her side. Rashel took a deep sigh and let her other hand fall too. I, myself had to give another sigh of Relief.

Now Rashel just stood there, staring down at the bed. The silver knife facing the mattress,

Come on! You can't just stand there! you have to move, do something! i told my self. But what ever i did i just hope it will make things right. I loosened my clenched fists and took a deep breath. Stepping into the light that came from the moon. Rashel didn't seem to notice my first move. By now, i was standing in a pool of white light.

" Rashel.." was all i was able to get out.

The sound of my voice caught her intimidate attention. She whipped her head around to see me. Her eyes were cold but they looked dead. The beautiful green turned dull and dark. Her skin was chalky and she looked like she hadn't had any sleep in 3 days. My heart clenched at the sight of her.

" I told you not to follow me. I told you twice" she snapped at me. My eyes were still focused on her's as she glared at me. There was a great amount of hatred it in. Again, My heart was shattered. This was just like Prometheus' punishment from the gods. Having his liver ripped out every single day, but reformed after wards. I was just like him, My heart would shatter at the sight, But never seemed to end. It was like Glass being broken over and over again.

I ignored her reply and walked forward. Every step i took made her take the same step back. I took another step forward and instead of stepping back she flickered her eyes at Iliana. Before i could do anything at all, she leaped over to the side of Iliana's bed and lifted her up. I gasped and Iliana woke up.

" What-wha-" she looked up at Rashel and screamed. Rashel glared at her but she continued to scream. Iliana's feat was on the ground but Rashel was grabbing her by the shoulders, It was impossible for her to escape.

" No! Rashel don't!" i reached out my hand and Iliana stopped her screaming. She looked at me then at Rashel. Her violet eyes was full of shock.

" R-Rashel?" her voice was shaky and dry.

" Rashel! Stop!" I made the bad choice saying that. Rashel raised the knife up slowly. Her arms were extremely shaking and i watched in horror as the knife reached an inch away from Iliana's neck.

" Q-Quinn. You come closer and i kill her!" The knife was very sharp and i knew that if i took one step, it could end up with blood on it. Iliana's blood. The blood of the Wild Power's.

" R-Rashel..W-why" Iliana was sobbing and Rashel shut her eyes. Even with the scarf on i knew she didn't want to do it. But that didn't mean she wouldn't.

" I-Iliana..I-I'm sorry" Rashel chocked. The knife was extremely close to Iliana's neck and i was terrified.

" Rashel, Don't do it" I tried but it didn't work, I may have gotten Rashel mad

" Stop it! Rashel squinted her eyes and tears rolled down her cheeks. Her hands were shaking and Iliana was shaking with it. She looked up at Rashel. Before she could speak ,words blurted out of my mouth.

" It was You, Rashel. You were the one that saved me." She opened her eyes wide and stared at me. I took a step forward.

" No it wasn't" She chocked and brought the knife closer. Iliana cried out and i continued talking.

" It was you" Iliana slowly turned her head towards Rashel and spoke in a gentle but frightened voice.

" Rashel..Please.."Rashel was crying by now. Her face was twisted to the side and her eyes were shut tight. Tears that remained dripped down. Soaking her scarf.

All I could really do right now was stare at her. I couldn't bring myself to do anything. My head was crammed with uninvited visters: Fear, Loneliness and good old Sadness. I was petrified and shocked at the same time. Rashel was brave, too brave, but she's also stubborn. Talking her out of this won't work. Rashel would just break your bones. But right now, they weren't my bones. But the bones of a delicate, blonde, fragile girl that the faith of the world depended on. So basicly. I'm screwed.

Rashel was tense, I knew that. I also know that she hadn't planned this. Not even if she was bribed. Not even if it was the only way to save her own life. Every whimper Iliana made brought the knife closer. Every step I made brought darkness to Rashel's eyes. The way to stop this was the obvious.

Fight Rashel.

I didn't want to do it. Who would? It wasn't because she was as strong as Keller, nor that she could be armed with several hidden weapons, but it was because Rashel never took pity. Imagine this: Hunter Redfern just killed Timmy. Do you think Rashel would just sheath her sword and walk away when he says 'please, take mercy'? I don't think so.

But it was the only way.

I took in a deep breath and shook all the black butterflies out of my heart. Rashel opened her eyes and looked at me. The look. The look that would make a kid scream. Iliana whimpered again and the knife was now touching her throat. Oh Goddess. I thought. Rashel wasn't crying no more. She looked like..someone we all knew. Someone Night World would pay a million bucks just to get a hold of.

The Cat.

Rashel released the hand that was on Iliana's shoulder but kept a tight grip with her other hand. Locking Iliana with her inner elbow. Her free hand flew to the top of her scarf. Just below her eyes. She pulled it down to her neck, making the entire scarf unraval and fall to the floor, covering Iliana's bare feet. She shook out her hair and looked down on Iliana, who was sobbing. Her violet eyes were teared up. Her face was pale and she was struggling.

" I don't want to do this.." she whispered and flashed me her " death look". Iliana was breathing heavily and she looked paralyzed, but she was able to speak. But her voice was different. It was like a breathless choke.

" Then.. don't..Please.." she squinted her eyes and the tears spewed down. Hitting the knife's blade. Her chest was heaving and her hands were clenched. I knew what she was thinking. She wanted to do it, but she didn't want to kill Rashel. The Blue Fire was too powerful.

Rashel looked up at me and said in a loud voice. " But I have to. And you can't stop me"

breath Quinn, just breath. I'll..I'll confuse her. I thought. I took two steps forward and she backed up against the open window. The window was big. Really big. One trip and you could fall out. I put my hands in my pockets and smiled at her. She looked at me with confused eyes. " Then do it. Do it now."

Iliana looked at me. I knew what she was thinking. I flashed her a small wink and she opened her mouth, but then shut it. I seriously hoped the knew what I was really doing.

" Sorry, I don't take orders from parasites" I faked a chuckle. I could remember those words from when I was tied up. Again.

" Same line, huh? Then I guess I'll just use the same move." I seriously didn't know what I was doing. I was aiming on knocking the knife out of her hand and grabbing Iliana. But somehow, I dove between Iliana and Rashel.

The knife flew out of her hands and landed on the floor. A loud 'Clang!' sound came from it. Iliana was lucky, she landed face first onto her own bed. Well, that's one problem solved. Now there's another. I swung my head from Iliana to Rashel When I heard a scream. My eyes widened.

Rashel was falling out the window. Her hands caught the wall but she was slipping.

I quickly leaned out and caught her wrist. Her hands let go of the wall but didn't catch mine. I looked down and she was hanging of off my hand, 3 stories down. And in Thierry's Mansion, 3 stories was very, very high.

Her hands seemed to be trying to get loose. What was she doing?! One thrust I could throw her into the air and catch her, but now, I seemed like a worthless human trying to save a bull dog from a very tall tree with no ladder.

Her hands were slipping out of mines and she screamed. My heart stopped and my hands flew open. Leaving Rashel falling down. With out knowing, I jumped out the window and dove. I thrust and I came down faster. I caught Rashel's arm and pulled her up. But we were still falling. I gripped Rashel tightly, gently pushing her head to my chest. My back was facing down.

Rashel kept screaming and I finally felt the pain. The pain In my heart, my back, my legs and my head. All at once. The sky started spinning. Despite the burning pain I lifted my head up a bit. Enough to see Rashel. She was unconscious. I reached out a hand but it fell back down. The moment it hit the cold hard ground. I met with another un expected guest: Darkness.
