Chapter eight:
There Ashley stood an evil smirk on her face. "What do you want Ashley?" I stammered in fright, trying not to let on about being scared of her. I gulped despite myself. Ashley laughed wickedly. "I warned you! I told you to stay away from him but you didn't listen, instead you go ahead and kiss him! No you have to pay!" "Your crazy!" I yelled as I backed slowly towards the edge of the balcony away from her. Ashley took a couple steps closer. Just then I heard Cory pounding on my bedroom door, which Ashley must have locked when she snuck in. Cory was calling my name worriedly. "Get lost Cory! This doesn't concern you!" Ashley yelled, turning slightly towards the balcony door. "Ashley stop this right now! You don't need to do this!" Cory begged slumping against the door in defeat. Ashley spin around completely so that her back was facing me and I took the opportunity to lunge at her. I landed on her back with my arms wrapped firmly around her neck. I held on for dear life as Ashley began to squirm under my grasp but she was way too strong for me to handle. Ashley reached back and grabbed me by my nightgown and hauled me off of her back. I stared at her stunned. "CORY!!" I screeched as she took a hold of my shoulders and literally tossed me over the edge of the balcony.
When I woke up I hurt everywhere. "I guess falling four stories does that to you." I moaned softly as I blinked the dizziness away. My body felt heavy and I realized that I was standing. I turned my head and something scraped harshly against my cheek.
"owww." I muttered as I tried to touch my face with my hand. "What the." I stammered twisting my wrists. My hands were tied tightly at my waist by rope and I was pinned firmly against a tree trunk. I could feel blood dripping from my finger tips because of the ropes being too tight. My waist was also tied and every time I tried to suck in a breath it choked my breath short. My eyes started to adjust to the darkness and I realized that I was in a small clearing of a dark forest. It was really dark and I could only see the outlines of the many trees. "Okay Kitana.your fine.Cory will be here shortly to rescue you.or better yet Adam and Matt." I reassured myself over and over. "I guess all I can do is wait and see what happens." I muttered to myself trying to remember what had all happened. "Ashley!" I growled just as she decided to step out of the brush. "Aww.we have a psychic on our hands now don't we." Ashley asked turning her face to the side. I glanced around nervously. "Who's there?!" I called shakily. "Oh, don't worry.its only a few of my friends from around here." Ashley smirked crazily as a group of five or six wear wolves and vampires stepped out of the trees and gathered behind Ashley. The Wear wolves were all my age and so were the vampires except one who was a young boy around the age of seven or eight. The boy looked frightened but more hungry than anything. There was one vampire that caught my attention the most. He looked a lot like Quatre from Adam's world except he wasn't a cat boy. He had the brightest blond hair and blue eyes I had ever seen. I could tell that he didn't want to hurt me.none of them really did. "Alright.Johnny, you start." Ashley said as she put her hand on the eight year olds shoulder. "Uh.I'm sorry Miss Ashley but I'm too afraid of what Master Cory will say.and besides, she is too beautiful to just kill like this.why cant we." Johnny started bravely before Ashley cut him off. "If you are too chicken to take my order then you can starve!" Ashley snapped shoving Johnny towards me. He landed on his knees at my feet. I looked down at the small scared child. He was weak with hunger and I couldn't do anything about it. "Are you alright?" I asked straining to see him in the dark. He had stunning silver eyes and dark hair. The blond boy who looked like Quatre stepped forward. "I'm sorry miss Ashley but the deal is off, you didn't say it was a young girl, and a friend of Cory's at that." He said helping Johnny up off the ground. "You cowards! I don't believe this!" Ashley screamed angrily as the boys started walking away. "Temper Temper!" I said coolly. I was loosing my patients and fast, my tears had ceased as fast as they had come and were being replaced by anger. "Shut up!!" Ashley snapped, jumping forward and baring her fangs menacingly. "Why are you trying to kill me?!" I demanded, staring her straight in the eyes. "Because I want to be Cory's soul mate! Not you!" Ashley replied, a little more quietly. "Soul mate? What are you talking about?!" I asked, wrinkling my nose. Ashley sighed and her fangs slid back. "Everyone in the world has a soul mate.someone who they are meant to be with for the rest of their lives." "And you think Cory is mine?" I asked, blinking hard and trying to understand. "Well.I see the way he looks at you and the way you look at him.so I just put two and two together and I get the picture." she said quietly. "Well shouldn't I know who is and who isn't my soul mate?!" I said, realizing how hard this must be for Ashley to bare. She was in love with Cory and all of a sudden here comes this girl, barging into her territory destroying everything. "Look Ashley, Cory is not my soul mate, okay? He's not." I said, looking carefully for the reaction on her face. "He may not be your soul mate.but he still likes you.and I can not have that!" She said as she stared blankly at the ground. "But Ashley I don't like him like." "So you're just going to lead him on! Is that it?! Your just going to kiss him and get him all hot for you and then dump him like the scum you think he is?! Well I'm not going to let that happen! Your not going to hurt him!" She shouted, her voice raised in a high pitch. "I didn't." I started but it was no use, she wouldn't believe me, so I just stopped and hung my head. "So what are you going to do to me?" I said instead, I suddenly felt really tired and my eyes were heavy. "Drink your blood until your to weak to even breath." Ashley said simply, shrugging and taking a small step closer.
