Chapter five:
After around twelve o'clock am I woke up sweating to death. Everything was silent and I couldn't help but shudder slightly. I got out of bed and settled myself down next to the window. I pushed open the glass and a wave of cool air hit me, refreshing my skin and blowing into my hair. I closed my eyes and rested my head on the cool windowpane. That's when I heard the noise outside. I lifted my head from its perch and glanced over at my bed. "Where is Tiko." I muttered to myself. I looked out the window again but it was too dark to see a thing. I tiptoed into the guys' room. A soft snoring was coming from Matt and I couldn't help but smile. "Tiko?!" I whispered quietly. He wasn't there. I couldn't get passed the door because Matt's arm was blocking the way. I held my breath and carefully lifted Matt's arm up and out of the way. He groaned, rolled over and was sound asleep again in an instant. I let my breath out quietly and snuck quickly by the bed. I smiled at Adams sleeping figure and made my way out into the kitchen. A dim glow from the nightlight illuminated the room. Tiko wasn't there either. I checked in the bathroom also but he wasn't there. By this time I was starting to get worried. Where could he possibly be? I peaked out the kitchen window but I still couldn't see a thing. I flicked on the porch light but nothing happened. "Shit." I said as I flicked it again and again but the bulb seemed to be burnt out. I opened the front door and stared out into the darkness. "Hello?" I called, still trying to be quiet and not wake the others. No one answered. I walked out onto the cool grass and pulled the door halfway shut behind me. "Tiko, you out here?" I whispered. A soft whimpering answered me and I walked slowly over to a small shrub next to another one of the cabins. I pushed a few branches out of the way and looked carefully into the leafy darkness. A swift grasp enclosed around my arm and pulled me into the bush. I tried to scream but a hand clamped around my mouth and smothered my attempt. "Shhh!" Commanded the person as they gripped my arms tightly behind my back, and gagged me with the other hand. When the person had a firm enough grip on me and was sure I wouldn't be able to get away he pushed me roughly to my feet. I looked down and there lay Tiko. His muzzle was bound shut and his feet were hog tied. I strained to look back at my captor but just as I began to a soft blue sparkling fog engulfed us and we disappeared, leaving a whimpering Tiko behind. When I woke up I was laying on a satiny blood red bed in a room with no windows what so ever. I looked around nervously. "Where am I!?" I asked myself as I sat up and put my feet on the floor. I noticed I was still in my pajamas. Must then the door opened and a tall snooty looking woman walked in. "Who are you?!" I snapped as I leaped up from the bed to face her. "My name is Ashley and I am Cory's assistant." she said with a smug smile. "Cory is the one who brought me here?!" I cried, knowing the answer already. "Yes miss.please follow me." She said, a slightly disgusted look on her face. I obeyed and she lead me from the room and into a fancy dining area where Cory was seated at a huge rectangular table drinking some coffee. 'he is wearing a tux.' I noted silently to myself and Cory smiled. "Why did you bring me here?!" I demanded as I clenched my fists at my sides. "Don't ask questions you already know the answer to." Cory replied as he stood up and pulled a chair out for me to sit down. "Sit." He said smiling charmingly. "Not a chance!" I spat angrily. Cory's eyes narrowed at me and an unseen force began to pull me towards the chair. I sat down. "H-How did you do that?" I stammered as I looked at Cory with wide frightened eyes. "I have many powers that you are yet to learn about." He said as he took his seat across from me and took a long drink from his coffee. My eyes widened even more as I realized something horrifying. "Wait a minute.if your Mother was a Draconian.and you got her wings.than that means." my voice trailed off softly. "Yes.I inherited my Fathers trait of being a Vampire." Cory said as he let his fangs slide out slowly. "You my friend also have a new trait of your own that you don't know about." The wicked smile on Cory's face was enough to make me faint. I gulped and stared back at him. "And what would that be?" I couldn't hide my surprise and confusion. "Well.you remember that scratch I gave you the last time we saw each other?" Cory asked as he took another sip of coffee. "How could I forget.it itches like crazy!" I said as I gave it a quick scratch before I returned my attention back to Cory. "Well you now have one of my traits." Cory stood up and gently pulled me up out of my chair. "W-Which one?" I asked, frightened yet curious all the same. "I'll show you." He said as he took hold of both of my hands in a firm but gentle grip. I heard Ashley growl in the background and I smiled to myself. 'she is jealous of me.' Cory turned my head so I was staring him straight in the eye. I felt a sharp pain in my back and I gasped. The pain faded to a dull throb and then pulsated out until I was hardly able to remain standing. "ahhh." I whimpered blinking hard. "concentrate and stay still." Cory said as he stared me hard in the eyes. Suddenly I felt a strange pop come from my back and the pain disappeared. I turned my head slowly to the left and looked at my side. I gasped as I realized what trait Cory was talking about. I now had wings just like him. A reflex in my back caused me to flap and a blue glitter floated through the air. My mouth hung open in astonishment as I returned my gaze to Cory's smiling face.
