Hey lovers!
I'm like really sad so it might just show in here.
But really the idea I have for the story is already ready so I might just stick with that.
ENJOY!
TORI ELAINE!
It's the nightlife that gets them off;
So desperately they wait for the excuse of love.
We live like vampires
And we, we, we love like killers;
We all die like infants,
And we trust like mirrors
My head was bumping up against something hard, my arms and legs felt like they weighed a thousand pounds as they hung over whatever was holding me up, I tried moving but it felt like there were weights on every part of my body. When I managed to finally open my eyes everything was unfocused, when things started to clear up I saw that someone was carrying me.
"We are close Aya, you'll see your mother soon." A thick voice said from somewhere above me, right then it sounded miles away. "The drugs will wear off soon, but we will have you tied down by then."
The voice was confusing me and my eyelids were becoming heavy again, I didn't want to shut them because even though my mind wasn't working the way it should have been I knew something was horribly wrong, something was going wrong and it was all my fault.
When I opened my eyes again I wasn't moving and no one was carrying me. My body still felt heavy, but I was able to move a little more. But when I tried to use my arms to push myself up I found myself tied up, my hands were tightly bounded behind me. I rolled onto my stomach and pushed myself on to my knees, I stood up with great effort and started to walk until I felt something tug at my ankle. I looked down and saw that I was chained to a wall.
For some reason I couldn't use my strength to pull apart the rope that had me tied, I let out a sob and looked around. It was a small room with bare stone walls. The floor was dirt and hay, my clothes were filthy from laying down for so long. I turned in circles until something in the corner caught my eyes. When I realized what it was I started to run for it, completely forgetting the chains. But I soon remember when I ran out of chain and slammed down hard into the ground. The breath was knocked out of me, I laid there for a few minutes trying to get it back.
I slowly got on my knees and crawled over to my mother in the corner. She was sitting up in the corner, but her head lolled to the side, she was still sleeping. Her nightgown was covered in dirt and her beautiful brown curls were tangled together with dirty and hay. My chain kept me from reaching her.
Slowly tears started to drip off my face and into the dirt below me, my mother looked so weak and broken. I tried harder to twist my hands out of the rope, even with the pain I knew that I had to get the rope off. I was still twisting my hands around when the door behind me banged open.
Marcus stood there in a tight black shirt that clung on to his muscles and black slacks that match the color of his shirt. He had an evil smile on his face as he walked into the room, behind him walked in a women who made me gasp. The lady was tall and had long black hair that she wore down and around her shoulders. Her face reminded me of my best friend, expect there was more age to it, I knew this had to be Tammy's mother. But she didn't have the same color of eyes as Tammy, no hers were a deep evil red looking.
"Well hello Aya good to see you wake. I see you saw your room mate, to bad she can't talk to you or anything." He bent down in front of me and I spit his face. He closed his eyes and wiped off the spit that had hit his cheek. Then he spit in my face, I closed eyes as it hit my face. I wanted to gag or wipe it off, but I couldn't do either and I didn't want to show weakness.
"Now meet my friend with some manners Aya."
I opened my eyes and saw that Tammy's mother had stepped further in the room was staring at me with curious eyes, but I had to look away because they scared me. The redness of them wasn't normal, something was wrong. During one of our many conversations about our parents Tammy had told me she got her eyes from her mother, she also told me her mother had the power to take away other's powers.
"Well say hello to her Maria. Just don't stand there and stare at her." Marcus was still kneeling in front of me smiling his evil smile.
"Hello Aya, It's nice to meet you. My daughter has spent endless hours telling me about you and your family." Her smile was fake, her words were practiced.
I didn't say anything back, didn't really think I needed to. I knew something wasn't right, I knew that this really wasn't Tammy mother's. I slowly moved my eyes off of her face and towards Marcus who was making his way towards my mother. I tried moving my hands again despite the pain it caused, I didn't want him touching her.
"DON'T TOUCH HER!" I screamed when he gently moved his fingers down the side of her face, he laughed as he stood back up and made his over to me. I tried moving backwards away from him, he laughed at my attempts and stomped down on my ankles so I couldn't move causing pain to shot up both of my legs.
"What are you going to do about Aya? Your chained and tied. You're not going anywhere."
He kneeled down in front of me still keeping his weight on my ankles, tears started to fall down my cheeks because of the pain. He laughed and wrapped his hand around the back of my neck. I tried to pull away, but he pulled me forward him and crushed his lips on to mine. When he finally let go of me and I thrashed around trying to get him off my ankles. He laughed and stood up stepping off my ankles. He was still laughing when someone yelled from somewhere inside where ever I was.
"MOM! MARCUS!" The voice I knew so well called, Marie spun around and Marcus stopped laughing quickly.
"She isn't supposed to be here, get rid of her Marie." Marcus said point his finger towards the door, Marie's eyes were still red, but I quickly saw them flash that beautiful green. But they turned back to the hideous red that I hated.
"Okay." She walked out of the door closing it behind her leaving me with the one person I wanted nothing to do with.
He was pacing when the door banged open again and there stood someone that filled me with hope and amazement. But she didn't look at me as she walked over to Marcus and he bent down to kiss her on the cheek.
"You know your not supposed to be here Tammy, I told you what I was going to do." He smiled and turned back to me.
"Surprised to see your friend Aya? Surprised to see her on my side?"
"I never said I was on your side Marcus. You promised not to hurt her and I know what you did, That wasn't hurting her directly, but that still hurts her. So I'm ending this NOW!"
Tammy made her way towards me, but she was suddenly lifted off her feet by an invisible force, she swung her legs and clawed at her neck with her finger nails. I looked behind her and saw Marcus with his arm out stretched in the air. His hand was in a form that it would be if he had someone by the throat. I screamed out for Marie, but she didn't come. Tammy was losing her battle and finally fell to the floor when Marcus let go of her. She hit the floor hard and didn't move. I was to scared to make any movement or sound, I just stared at her.
"I'm more powerful than you thought. I know. I lost a few powers because of Marie, but in the end I got them back and then more. That was one of them they ability to hurt other vampires with simple thoughts. I don't want to hurt you Aya so just do as I say."
He turned around and walked out of the door leaving Tammy on the floor. I didn't move until I heard the lock click, I got up on to my knees trying to ignore the pain in my ankles for the time being. My breathing became heavy and sweat started to form on my forehead as I made my way over to Tammy my ankles screaming out with protests each time I moved forward.
Finally I dropped next to her and touched her with my hands, I felt for my power and brought it forward after a few seconds I heard Tammy take a breath and I let go of her shortly after I felt her start to unwind the rope around my wrist. When she got it off I felt a immediate relief to my hands I brought them forward and saw I had rub them raw with all the twisting I had been doing. I gagged looking at them and Tammy began to rip her shirt and tie it around my wrists. I held back the urge to scream each time she tightened them.
"I look like suicide victim." I said quietly as I looked at the strips of Tammy's white t-shirt turn ruby red with my blood.
"Slow suicide." She got up and walked over to the chains, she looked at the wall as I just sat there looking at her. Her back was to me, but I knew she knew I was looking at her. "I didn't mean for things to get so bad Aya, he was just supposed to get you to fall in love with you, he wasn't supposed to kill those you love." Her shoulders slumped and a chill went through my body.
"What do you mean kill?"
Though I didn't hear her answer because at that moment the door banged open and Marcus out stretched his hand, but this time it was pointed at me. He smiled his evil twisted smile and I screamed in pain. My back ached towards his hand and I slowly drifted into the air. When I thought things couldn't get worse something white began to leave my body, I thought it was my soul at first, but then Tammy began to scream.
"MARCUS NOO! DON'T DO THIS! PLEASE!" She ran towards him, but he used his other hand to send her slamming into the opposite wall and hold her there. Finally nothing else came out of my body, but just swirled around me, I looked at Marcus's face and saw him with a very serious expression, he wasn't laughing now.
The white mist began to slowly move into his hand that he had towards me, when it was all gone he dropped his hand and I slammed into the floor feeling the emptiness in my body. I looked at him my eyes out of focus until everything went black.
--2 hours later--
When I woke up my head was in Tammy's lap and she was smoothing out my hair. I still felt like something had been ripped out of my body, but yet I wasn't sure what. I sat up and Tammy dropped her head so she wasn't looking at me. But that's when I noticed someone else was in the room besides Tammy and my mother.
"Quil what are you doing here?" Quil's face was pale white and his eyes were blood shot. I could tell he had been crying and it scared me.
"Aya I'm so sorry." He began sobbing and I stood to walk towards him, but then fell because of the pain that shoot up from my ankles. Tammy picked me up and took me to him.
"What happened Quil? What is going on?" I wrapped my arm him and leaned in and rested his head on my shoulder soaking the dirty shirt I had on with his tears. "I…didn't…want…to…I…had…no…choice…" His words came out spaced and watery. They sent chills down my spin.
"Aya…Embry's dead." Tammy said quietly.
My world seemed to freeze, my heart stopped, my lungs no longer worked. I stared at her like she was insane. My Embry dead? There was no way. I had the power to bring him back I had the power…Marcus…
"He took away my power so I couldn't save him?" I looked up at Tammy with watery eyes her form began to blur behind the tears.
"Yes…I'm sorry Aya."
I let out a scream that you would hear in horror film Quil stopped crying and grabbed me in time before I hit the floor. Then I got the meaning of his words…he didn't mean too…he had no choice…he killed Embry.
"YOU BASTARD! YOU KILLED HIM! YOU KILLED HIM!" I began to punch any part of him that I could, ignoring the pain that blasted out from my cut up wrists. "WHY? HE WAS YOUR BROTHER! YOUR BROTHER! I LOVED HIM!! I LOVED HIM!"
I dropped my fist and began to sob, shaking my whole body I sounded like a dying animal as my tears mixed with the snot coming out of my nose. I screamed in pain as the thought of losing Embry ran through my body. I ached for the feeling of his arms around me, his sweet gently kisses, the way his eyes met mine, or that special smile he saved just for me. I screamed for everything that I would never have with him, I screamed for the life we would never live together. I screamed because I knew that I could not live without him.
It took Tammy hours before she could finally calm me down enough to tell me what happened. Yes Quil killed Embry, but he didn't have control over his body. She explained the power called Red Eyes. The ability to control others around you and their powers. Marcus had Quil stabbed Embry with a Vampire Sword which had me cry harder, just knowing Embry died a horrible slow death made me feel the pain he most have felt.
The others fell asleep before I did, Quil tried to tell me over and over that he was sorry and that he would rather kill himself than his own brother. But I stared blindly at the wall behind him, not looking him in the eyes, I couldn't forgive him even if it wasn't his fault. Embry was gone and that was all that mattered.
I was stretched out on the floor just enough to touch the dress my mother was wearing, I needed to be near her to be touching something of hers, but all I could get was a little bit of the dress. My eyes wouldn't close, I wasn't even sure I was blinking. I began to wonder if this how my mother felt when Sam died.
Finally I closed my eyes still clutching the small piece of my mother's dress. In my dreams Embry came to me.
The songs they sing are in the key
Of the illusion of pain and its irony
In the midst of lust and dropping names
The drugs they numb and they keep us sane
DON'T HURT ME!
