Chapter 35: Many Bad Feelings

Daren's POV

I've never been so pissed in my life. Since everyone found out about Sam and her mate Alec, it seemed like we would never stop talking about them. Apparently the fact that for her to spill the beans I had to literally hump her with her clothes on didn't interest anybody. I had managed to see once picture of Sam with the guy, and what she told us was true. She was smiling in the picture, a real smile not her usual and familiar strained one.

Everything about her had something to do with him. Her diamond necklace and ring which she never seemed to part with were his family's old heirlooms. The old copy of Romeo and Juliet we she had read about a million times since I had come along had been his. And apparently it seemed like he owned her smile too. They were about to pass her picture to me. I would explode if I saw him again with her so I got up as inconspicuously as I could and went hunting to calm down the nerves. I hunted down a few deer and a mountain lion but I was still infuriated on the inside. It seems like all the anger I had been suppressing since I became a vampire. My Gran dying, Derek... Yes! Derek was the answer to my problems. I'd kill him tonight. Sure, I'll have to make sure that what I do doesn't break his skin but at least I would have the satisfaction of hearing all two hundred and six bones in his puny body break. I grinned evilly. This was going to be a heck of a night.

I went to the cottage and got a black nodded jacket and slipped it on. I had to make sure not to be recognised on my way to town. I ran towards the downtown area where a familiar out of business factory stood. This was Derek's gang base. I listened in to them. Sure enough there they were. I climbed up the building using the shadows as my cover. I arrived in front of a window bolted with metal bars. I snorted; big threat. It was just the perfect size for me to creep through it. I pulled them and the bolts holding them broke. I twisted the metal into a ball and let it fall to the ground. I got in through the window and blended with the shadows like Sam had done during fighting practice. They were in Derek's 'office'. I could tell there where about twenty people opposite to the wall I was standing in front of. The proximity to fresh human blood clouded my mind for a moment. But after taking deep breaths and remembering to mentally yell at myself that I was human on the inside like Sam had insisted I was fine. When I was in control, I decided to play show off and go all terminator on them. I punched the wall which produced a deep sound. With a couple more punches I made a whole big enough for me to walk through.

"What the hell?" I heard Derek say. I chucked at him. He would be the last one I kill and the one who'll die most painfully. The white dust settled down so the humans could see me.

"Hello Derek." I said with a grin on my face.

"Daren? H-how is it possible? You're supposed to be dead." He stuttered.

"Yeah, well that which is dead doesn't always stay dead. But let me tell you, some things like revenge go way beyond death." I said to him. He was still confused but I saw him sneak glances at his goons, obviously signalling them to attack me at his command.

"So we aren't done with it. That can be easily arranged. Boys take him out and don't leave before he's dead. For real this time." He said to them. A mountain sized man with many visible scars attacked me first. I grabbed him by his arm, pulled him up and threw him with enough force to break his neck. And he would have if someone didn't catch his flying body before it hit the wall.

"It is a sad night, when a fool decides to go on a killing spree, without thinking through that his psychic friend would find out and put a stop to it." Sam said as she put down the frightened man who was easily twice as tall as her down.

"So… you found out?" I asked stupidly. "Wow! Breakthrough of the century! You actually thought for a tiny moment that I wouldn't?" she said with fake amazement written all over her face.

"Come on! This is the son of a bitch who killed me! I want to give him a taste of his own medicine." I said pointing at Derek.

"God, Daren did you think this through for a minute? Why the hell would you do this now? It's been three months, why wouldn't you just get over these pathetic losers and get on with your new life? Do you want to carry the burden of having killed all these people for the rest of your life?" She asked me. She was right, as usual. It was so goddamned wrong that I made out with her a few hours ago and now she went all mommy on me. It made the memory now slightly less appealing.

"Look, I was just angry." I said using the first excuse which came to my mind. Two guys then charged at Sam and about five of them rushed at me. I fought them instantly knocking them cold using the slightest thread of strength but Sam didn't even move.

"You're at the wrong place at the wrong time, missy." A guy said. Sam just looked bored. "Oh, please. I've drained dry animals bigger and uglier than you." And before he could make sense of her statement she knocked them cold. She went for the rest of the group and knocked them all down as if they were dominoes. She stopped when she reached Daren. He had a gun in his hands and he shot her between her eyes.

"Now that wasn't very nice." She said and picked up the bullet which had bounced of her forehead. "Apologise. One does not shoot a perfect stranger for no good reason." She said sounding just the perfect mixture of logical and hurt.

"Say sorry to the lady Derek." I said and ran up behind him in blinding speed and pulled him by the scruff of his neck. "I'm s-s-sorry." He stuttered.

"So, can we kill him now?" I asked Sam.

"Do whatever you want dude. But do you really want to carry the burden of taking away his life?" she asked me.

"I wouldn't mind." I told her. Derek whimpered and struggled to escape. She glared at me with a raised eyebrow. "Daren put the damn man down and knock him cold so that we can get the heck out of here." She said to me. Suddenly she got that expressionless monotone expression she gets while she's in a vision. I did as she told me though I admit I kind of elbowed him in the ribs and broke one or two.

"Oh fuck. Emily!" She whispered and broke off in a desperate run. She climbed up the rest of the factory onto the roofs and I followed her. I had no idea what was happening but she sure as hell was running fast. She ran and jumped from roof to roof. Her legs were a blur even for me. She was a good hundred yards ahead of me but I just kept running.

"I have to make it! I just have to!" she said desperately. I wondered what she was talking about. We had been running for nine hours non stop. She would say panicked phrases out of the blues but that's all the response I was getting from her. Sam was one weird girl. After another hour we arrived in Pennsylvania. We ran through the forest until Sam started to get very agitated. What the hell was going on, I kept asking myself. She ran through the vegetation not sparing one glance at her surroundings. Only one thing seemed important right now and that was arriving to whatever destination was in her head. The minute she was out of the forest I heard a loud horn, screams and brakes. I ran over to Sam and saw her pushing away a trailer from crashing a red mini cooper. The family inside the car got out and she slid down the front of the trailer.

"Sam?" said the woman who was holding tightly onto a toddler with a man holding her tightly.

"Hey, Emily." Sam said coolly.

"You… you just pushed away I don't know how many tones off trailer from crashing us… how… how is it possible?" The man said.

"I always told you she was special." The woman, Emily retorted.

"Auntie Sam!" the little boy squealed. His mother let go of him and he rushed into Sam's lap and gave her a hug.

"What… what the fuck just happened?" a confused voice said. It turned out it was the trailer driver. "I… I saw you; you pushed away my trailer as if I was piece of candy." He stuttered, obviously hopelessly drunk.

"Daren hit that son of bi-"

"Sam, Damon will hear you." The woman said before Sam could cuss.

"-g bad mother who never taught him his lessons about road safety, hard enough so that he's knocked out cold. Man, I think today I hold a record for biggest number of fights in one day." Sam said instead.

"'Kay." I said and hit him swiftly. He fell to the ground.

"You know what to do. Put him in the cab of the trailer. Someone's bound to find him by morning." She said to me. I slung the alcoholic piece of meat on my shoulder and did as I was told.

Sam's POV

"Sam, would you please explain what's going on?" Jason asked me.

"Well, um… in my opinion it's best if you don't know." I answered guiltily. Damon was saying my name and I made a funny face at him which got him laughing. Emily ran up to me and hugged me too. I really missed her. Though we used Skype to communicate almost every week it was just not the same.

"I really missed you, Sam." She said to me.

"Me too. Emily please you have to understand that I can't tell you because of your safety."

"Does it involve governmental experimentation? Are you a specimen, some sort of super human?" she asked me. I chuckled.

"Have you been watching 'Bionical Woman' again?" I asked her. She nodded.

"No, whatever happened to me doesn't have anything to do with the government. Just forget it, okay?" I asked her. She shrugged.

"So, how did you know that he would crash in us?" she asked me. I raised an eyebrow at her. "Part of the big secret?" she asked me. I nodded.

"So, did you go back to him? As long as I remember the guy you're with isn't him, right?" she asked me. I heard Daren say, "Everyone has to rub it in," in such a low voice that only I could hear.

"No, I didn't go back. But don't worry Daren's just a friend." I told her, with Daren exhaling deeply behind me when I mentioned he was just a friend. "Come on, Daren, I want you to meet these people. They're very special to me." I said with a smile plastered on my face. I didn't need to read people's moods to understand that Daren was in a black mood. He came next to me, hands in his pockets, scowl on his face.

"Sam, it's late, can we go?" Daren asked me. "Daren, it's been a really long time since I talked to them. Do you mind if we spend a little more time here?" I asked him quietly. "You do what you want. I'm going home." He said and before I could stop him he disappeared in the greenery. I sighed, feeling the guilt nag at me for no good reason. I grimaced.

"Sam, is everything all right?" Emily asked me. "Yeah, I think so…" I said, getting a very bad feeling. And apparently I was right because I heard Daren shout.

"Em, I have to go. Talk to you later." I said and with one swift kiss on Damon's cheek I ran through the forest following Daren's scent. I got seriously worried when I smelled a cold familiar scent something that all vampires shared. I was very close and within a few steps Daren and a vampire were visible to me. Daren was curled up in a ball shouting and the vamp was standing above him not even touching him. I threw myself at the vampire, knocking him down. With one bite I would end him. Just as I was about to sink my teeth in his neck and behead him, he spoke.

"Sam?" he said in a voice I had heard a few years ago. I wrecked my mind trying to remember to whom the voice belonged and only one matched.

"Logan?" I asked with thick disbelief. I got off him so that I could look up at him. We just stared at each other for quite some time. Daren got back up on his feet. "Do you know every freak in Pennsylvania Sam?" Daren said through pants. I ignored him for a while.

"Logan, you became a vampire. Who's your maker?" I asked for lack of anything better to ask.

"Sam you wouldn't believe what happened to me. Three days later after we met and I was back in Washington a guy attacked me and bit me. I still don't know who it was. But after I woke up I started thinking about what happened and well you came to my mind. I was tanned before and now I'm pale, like you. My skin is cold like yours and when we fought those thugs I saw you get stabbed and back then I thought I seen wrong but even my skin wouldn't pierce so it seemed like I had become like you. After I was able to be within talking distance to humans I came back here to find you so that you would help me, but you were already gone but I found Emily.

"Wait. How do you know Emily?" I asked having a bad feeling that I already knew the answer to that question.

"Emily was… well… a few months before she left Washington we had sex and well, it turned out that I was Damon's father." he said not so comfortably. I didn't know Logan so well but somehow I knew that he would care about Damon.

"She hadn't told me she was pregnant. She just left without even saying goodbye ad now she's with that waste of space Jackson." he said going from sad to angry.

"Jason." I corrected him.

"Whatever. Did you know Damon calls him dad? Had she told me, I could have been his dad not that arrogant bastard." he said, his hands instantly turning into fists.

"Did you talk with Emily about it?" I asked him.

"No, I just look after her and my kid behind the scenes." he said solemnly.

"Well you're not doing a good job. They were about to get turned into a pretzel with a trailer." Daren pointed out.

"What? Are they okay?" Logan said getting clearly agitated. "Yeah, Sam had a vision and stopped the trailer from crushing them." Daren interjected.

"Vision?" Logan asked.

"Yeah, I get visions from the past, present and future." I answered him. "But it seems like you have a power of your own." I commented, remembering Daren crouching on the ground.

"It's difficult to describe. I just grab specific memories from the person in mind and if I want to make him… I don't know… feel angry, I just dig deep into those visions which make him angry and amplify them." He said. I nodded, if it brought a guy such as Daren down it was a hell of a power.

"Interesting. But something tells me that something big is going to happen. I just can't seem to get the vision." I said. It slightly felt like the time I was about to have that vision about Aro and Alec. The only difference was that now as hard as I try I couldn't get it.

"Logan. We are currently staying in Alaska. Do you want to come live with us for a while? We have enough room in the cottage." I said looking at Daren.

"Just one question. Why did you attack me?" Daren asked Logan.

"I'm sorry about that. I thought you where going to attack Emily. You were the first vamp I encountered." Logan apologised sounding fairly truthful.

"Good enough for me. So you coming?" he asked Logan. I could not help but feel slightly uncomfortable with two guys living with me. Though I was sure that there would be no problems with Logan I was already troubled with Daren and his sexual tension. God, Alec would have a fit if he knew. I felt so guilty about it. But I was truthful to him. I would never even think about a relationship other than friendship with other guys.

"That's really nice of you to offer but no thanks. I want to be within close proximity of Emily. I've recently tried to stay on animal blood so that I would be able to be a part of her life and Damon's." Logan said. Well, if he had no problem with living out here I wouldn't object.

"Okay, then I guess this is goodbye. If you ever need something I guess you can ask Emily and she'll give you my address." I said to him, feeling rather helpless. He nodded, pulled me in a quick hug that I hadn't expected at all and we left.
