Chapter nine:
"You're going to bite me?" I stammered. "Well duh! What do you think these are for anyway?!" Ashley said as she pointed at her fangs and stepped even closer. "Stay back!" I yelled, pulling at the ropes frantically. I thought I felt one of the ropes slide slightly but I wasn't sure. "There is no use in struggling. You cant get away from me." Ashley was now only a few feet away. "Stop right there Ashley!!" Cory shouted his voice was out of breath and he was panting. I jerked my head up in his direction and Ashley spun around in astonishment. " How did you find me?" I asked curiously, still prying silently at the ropes. "Telepathy.all vampires have it.some just don't know about it." Cory said, staring at Ashley the whole time. Ashley's mouth hung open and she backed towards me. "Ashley.please this isn't worth it.your over reacting!" Cory said, slowly easing towards her. "I'll kill her!" Ashley screamed frantically. Cory stopped and looked at me he asked me if I was okay.only his lips never moved. I nodded. It was as if Ashley sensed some sort of conversation between the two of us and she made her move, lunging towards Cory menacingly. They fought dangerously, rolling on the ground in a fit of claws, teeth and wings. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, twisting my wrists as hard as I could. At last the ropes broke free and I was able to move my hands again. I untied the rope around my waist and glanced around nervously. Cory and Ashley were gone. I picked up a large branch and held it as a weapon. Just then Ashley came flying at me out of know where and as if by reflex I pointed the stick outwards, piercing her flesh right below the left shoulder blade. Ashley fell backwards gasping in the cool night air greedily. Finally her body ceased moving and she died, her eyes wide open in surprise. I dropped the stick and fell to my knees, crying helplessly. "I.I.I.I killed someone!!" I stammered as Cory entered the clearing and knelt down next to Ashley, checking to make sure she was dead. "I'm sorry Ashley." Cory said, shaking his head sadly and gently closing her eyes. "I killed a living being!" I cried, shaking uncontrollably. Cory turned to me and grabbed my shoulders, pulling me close to him. I huddled to his body and cried even harder. "shhh.it wasn't your fault.you had to." He said comfortingly. "Come on.lets get out of here." He said hauling me to my feet and guiding me away.
"How did you and Ashley meet?" I asked, wiping a couple stray tears away absently. We were back at the castle, sitting on a large black leather sofa in front of the fireplace that was burning brightly. I was resting my head on Cory's shoulder and we were talking about the life that Ashley had lived and lost at an early age. Cory began telling me how he and Ashley had met, but before he finished I ended up falling asleep in his arms. I was warm, comfortable, and calm for the first time that night. Cory stopped talking and looked down at me, sleeping peacefully on his shoulder. "I better call Adam before I change my mind." Cory muttered as he laid me gently down on the couch and stood up. I sighed and rolled over sleepily as Cory brushed the hair from my face before tiptoeing out of the room and into a long hallway. There was a small alcove that held a phone. Cory dialed Adams number and held his breath, waiting for someone to answer. Matt tumbled off the top bunk in my bedroom. He and the other guys had decided to all sleep in the girls' room so that they wouldn't be scared. The phone clattered noisily across the floor ringing a few more times before Davis picked it up. "Hello?" He said, bolting upright in bed. The others quickly got out of bed and gathered around him. "I want to talk to Adam" Cory said flatly. "Yeah.hang on." Davis said as his eyes darted around wildly. He handed the phone to Adam. Adam took the phone and stood up, wiping the sweat from his forehead before answering. "Hello." Adam said. He didn't know what to do.and that was a first.because Adam always knew what to do. "Kitana's fine" Cory said. Also not knowing what to say. " I swear if you touch one hair on her body I'll.I'll.kill you!" Adam snapped as he glanced at Matt who was picking himself up off the floor and trying to keep an eye on Adam at the same time. "Isn't that the point of us fighting? One of us will die." Cory said, getting more and more fed up with Adam. "Well where are you!! Lets do this now!" Adam yelled into the receiver. "Cool it!" Cory demanded as he sat on a stool beside the phone desk.
"Were at the old museum castle tourist place.outside of the city a few miles.good luck." Cory hung up the phone and chuckled. "Adam's probably having a fit!" He said to himself as he walked up the stairs and stopped on the top floor of the castle. There was a large room with only a few supports holding it up. The room was decorated by many paintings of past lives and future predictions.
"Come on get dressed lets go!" Adam said, pulling on his Jeans over his boxers. He slipped on his t-shirt and the others scrambled to their feet. "Is Kitana okay?" Matt asked Adam, stepping in front of him before he had a chance to leave. "I think so." Adam said sympathetically. Matt obviously cared for me a lot, and Adam understood completely. "Don't worry.we'll get her back" Adam placed his hand on Matt's shoulder and squeezed gently. Adam pulled away suddenly and looked deep into Matt's eyes. "No way!" Adam whispered but Matt didn't hear, he had pulled on some clothes and darted out of the room. "Please be okay Kitana.Matt needs you.his life wont be complete unless he has his soul mate." Adam pleaded, clenching his teeth.
