Chapter 12

Deserah broke out of the Soulmate connection with a scream. Sensing the shackles, that once held her wrists captive, removed she sprang on the nearest person to her, which happened to be Tina.

Deserah gave Tina a right hook, which knocked the poor girl backwards. She then glared at Jill.

Jill, sensing all was not well with Deserah, raised her hands as a sign of no harm and stepped back a bit.

"Do you know what you've done!?" Deserah said in strangled furry. The room was quiet except for Deserah's ragged breathing. "You have killed my Soulmate!" She screamed, "I only have one of those!" She looked down at Teak and said to Jill and a startled Tina, "Just leave." Tears appeared and spilled over her eyes, "Leave me with him!"

Jill grabbed Tina and giving a sorrowful glance at Deserah, She left.

Deserah went to her knees and cradled Teaks head. She touched his face and pink sparks ran up her arm along with a dramatic ~I love you~ which came from Teaks mind. She looked more closely at him and for the first time she realized that he wasn't mummified. She gently removed the stake, wincing as she realized if the stake went in four more inches to the left it would have killed him.

Knowing that she would need some she could trust for help, she left Teak in the warehouse room. She went in search of a pay phone.

Luckily one was right outside the place Teak had taken her. She Searched through the phone book for a girl by the name of Levita O'Brian, who was a known Daybreaker at her school.

She easily found the girls name, and she deposited her 50cents into the pay phone. She gritted her teeth as the phone began to ring. She had second thoughts of just hanging up the phone and dragging Teaks body to her car, which was so far away. It was against her principals to run to Daybreak's. She kept repeating in her mind: 'This is for Teak, this is for Teak!'

When the girl finially answered the phone Deserah said in a clipped, no nonsense, voice, "Warehouse on Billings Dr. number 46, bring your Daybreak friends. A vampire's down and needs help."

The girl thankfully didn't ask any questions. She just said "Right we'll be their."

Deserah went back to Teak, who was in a coma. She waited an agonizing 15min. for Daybreak to reach them. The whole time Deserah was trying to reach Teak through he link. Though she did get into his mind, it was like he couldn't be reached. What she found was a dreamy like beach that went on forever. She knew Teak was somewhere in this beach like place, but she couldn't find him.

"Hello?" The male voice said from outside Teak's head. She knew it came from the 'real' world. Not the world she was in. She broke the connection and yelled, "Over here!"

Quinn and Ash made their way over to Deserah, Levita was just behind them.

"What happened." She stopped when she saw Deserah stroking Teaks hair. "Ok what gives?" She asked, "I know what you are. But why did you call us. that can't be a vampire! You murderer!"

"Levita!" Ash said, "Stop. it is a vampire. Look it's Teak!" Levita had a blank, questioning expression on her face, and Ash frowned. "Teak Redfern." He said.

"Teak?!" Levita said in a shocked voice, "What happened to him?"

"One of my. friends. thought they were doing me a favor and tried to stake him." Deserah said as she looked back down at Teak.

Comprehension flashed into Quinn's eyes as he said, "There soulmates."

The rest looked at Teak then at Deserah.

"Come lets get back to Daybreak" Quinn said, "Let's get him fixed up."
