Part Six:

And then I pulled my choker off. "There,"I said,"Happy?" Suddenly, I jutted the choker towards him with a yell. Daviel backed up quickly and I stood up, holding out my cross choker. "Don't come near me or...or I'll throw this at you or something,"I threatened uncertainly. Daviel thought for a moment and then he snapped forward and slapped the choker out of my hand. It hit the wall and landed harmlessly on the ground.

"Oh,"I said, my balloon within myself had just been popped. Daviel grabbed me and I saw the dangerous look in his eyes. "You promised,"I gasped in fear. "Ah,"Daviel said, awefully close now,"But I lied." Before I could think of a reply, Daviel pushed the hair away from my neck and brandished his fangs. I was frozen with fear, now. I couldn't breathe properly at all.

He lowered his head towards my choker-less neck and I closed my eyes. Goodbye, cruel world. Just before Daviel bit down on my neck, Jestin's voice screeched,"DAVIEL! DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!" Then next second, I was pulled away from Daviel and being shoved out of the room by Jestin. "Oh, come on,"I heard Daviel say from behind Jestin,"I'll get you another one. Just let me kill her!" I was shoved to the side and Jestin turned to glare at Daviel with such rage.

"No. Destin's my friend; you're not going to kill her,"Jestin said furiously. Such close friends are we that she doesn't even know my real name. Ivy, woman, IVY! I HATE the name Destin. Daviel seemed to be thinking along the same unknown name line, for he said,"You barely know her! The only reason why she hangs around is because I'm forcing her to. Wouldn't it be better to put her to better use...say, like, food?" "No way,"I complained. "You shut up,"Daviel growled. "No, you shut up,"Jestin replied in my defense.

"Fine, I'll get rid of her...perminently,"Daviel said,"But it won't involve turning her to food." Jestin frowned,"But Davvy..." I repeated Jestin by saying,"Yeah, but Davvy!" Daviel glared at me and started to threaten me, but Jestin said,"She'll be good. I promise." I rolled my eyes. It's as if I'm Jestin's dog. Daviel looked at Jestin, glared at me, then looked at Jestin again. "Fine, but if she bugs me ONE more time, I'm doing WHATEVER I want to her and you're not going to stop me,"Daviel snapped.

"Ok, sure,"Jestin said timidly,"She won't bug you no more. I promise." Then Daviel stomped off. I glared at his back. It was a close call, though. He COULD have stuck me in that coffin like he threatened. Jestin turned just as I stuck my tongue out at the now disappearing Daviel. "Oh, God, what am I going to do about you,"Jestin asked in dismay. "Well, you could let me go and we would all be safe,"I suggested.

I poked at the cold cereal Jestin had made me. It was pathetic. Sure, I can't cook AT ALL, but I was a little to begrudged towards learning to cook so that it never happened. I twirled my spoon in the milk and sighed. Jestin suddenly asked,"You're smart, right?" I looked up at her dully,"Actually, I'm the stupidest person in the world. I got caught by nonexistant creatures." Jestin giggled slightly, then said,"Teach me something."

I groaned in denial. "Oh, come on, teach me anything,"Jestin whined annoyingly. "Fine, human cells are most common in looks to a fruit fly's cells,"I stated dully. Jestin seemed overly interested,"Really? Cool!" I poked at the cereal and she said,"What else?" I pushed the cereal back and thudded my head against the table top. Right now we were located within the second floor kitchen. It was early morning...I think. "Come on, tell me,"Jestin said. I raised my head and thudded it against the table top again.

"Some bacteria is good for humans,"I stated,"We even eat sorts of bacteria. Like jello and yogurt or something. Wait, jello is made from horse hoofs, I think. Hot dogs are not only made from pig leftovers, but from chicken and cows and more and more." I waved my hands in the air lamely. "That is, according to my teacher,"I added dimly. "More,"Jestin ordered. Brain hungry? "Conjugation is like sexual reproduction, except in conjugation, they just trade DNA instead of giving off sex cells,"I stated dully.

I then added,"And to make it more suckier. In fission, the cell just splits in two." Jestin smirked,"Where's the sexual fun in that?" I rolled my eyes and said,"Maybe trading DNA gets them horny enough to satisfy them." Jestin laughed and started to say,"More." But I intercepted,"NO more." "Please,"Jestin begged. "Prepositions come in phrases. Phrases always end in objects. Prepositions never stand alone or they are called adverbs,"I said lamely. Switched from science to common english.

"I...don't get it,"Jestin said in confusion. "Good, now stop asking for more,"I said shortly,"Otherwise I'll have you remember the formula: x equals negative B plus or minus square root of B square minus Four A C, all over two A." Jestin's face blanked. That formula was only Algebra one. I forget which formula it is. Quadrant? Something like that. "Go to school,"I told the blank faced Jestin.

"No, tell me more about bacteria and-,"Jestin started, but I clamped my hands over my ears. Then I started singing on the top of my lungs,"Oh, say can you seeeeee. By the dawns early LIIIIGHT..." I was now singing what parts of "The National Anthem" that I could remember. Otherwise, I'd go,"La la la..." And so on until I got to a part I DID know. I kept this up until Jestin tackled my head and clamped my mouth shut.

Then I realized that Daviel had stormed into the kitchen looking extremely annoyed at the interuption. "I was singing a song,"Jestin lied quickly. She had been so forceful that I had been knocked to the kitchen floor. So loving Jestin can be. Daviel scoffed,"Yeah, sure you were." Then he left. I helped myself back up to the table, groaning and moaning. "You're just trying to get yourself killed, aren't you,"Jestin asked accusingly. I gasped melodramatically and said,"No WAY!"

Just before Jestin playfully punched me, there was a loud DONG. I squeaked in surprised. "Door,"Jestin said happily, then she screamed,"I GOT IT!" Before I knew it, Jestin had scrambled to her feet and ditched me in the kitchen. I looked around and grabbed the bowl of cereal. Then I dumped the contents within the bowl and stuck it in the dishwasher.

I started to go downstairs to Jestin when I was hit with a thought. Here I am, alone, while Daviel and Jestin are downstair...busy...answering the door. Alone. No one, but me. I felt excitement course through my veins. YES. Freedom! I didn't think twice before running out of the kitchen and down the hall. There was a window just in view. An exit. I'll get away. I'll finaly get...crap.

Daviel had walked into view. It was as if he knew I was planning to go out that window all along! I skidded to a stop and froze. Daviel crossed his arms with a knowing look. "What are you doing...Destin is it,"Daviel asked in a voice dripping with malice. I shrugged casually,"I...uh...I got lost. I figured this was the way to the...uh...the, uh, the BATHROOM!" Daviel smirked,"Are you sure? It looked like you were heading out this window."

I crossed my own arms and said,"Just because a window is there doesn't mean I was heading towards it. Though, in a way I was because the direction I'm heading happens to be towards this window. But I clearly don't want to go out the window; just to simply go to the bathroom. In fact, I figured since I'm stuck here, I might as well get to like it. Who knows, maybe I'll stay here forever."

Daviel walked in front of me before I could say anything else. "Oh, trust me, you won't,"Daviel growled,"Jestin will get tired of you just like the rest of them. And then I'll do to you what I did to them...though I may do WORSE to you. Especially seeing how annoying you are." I gulped, wondering exactly what he did to "them". "Come on along and meet Zander. I'm sure if he stays awhile, Jestin will soon enough agree for me to get rid of you,"Daviel stated.

He grabbed my elbow and added in a hiss into my ear,"Especially if I promise that you'll live...more like lie." Then he shoved me towards the opposite direction of the window. I looked back at it hopelessly and sighed. Then I was forced downstairs where the sight of Jestin giggling at something a tall man said caught my eye.

The man had short cut brown hair and almost reached Daviel's hight. His eyes were black, which told me he had to be vampire like the rest of them. He turned to spot Daviel and said,"Hello! I was dropping in to say hello to Jestin, but I hope you don't mind me staying awhile." Daviel shrugged,"Stay as long as you want." Then the other guy looked at Jestin while Daviel gave me a look that sent shivers down my back. I could already tell that Jestin had forgotten about me.

The man turned and spotted me,"Who is that?" Jestin barely glanced at me and said,"Oh, Zander, this is Destin. Destin, Zander. She's just the help." Oh, how so "best friend" of her. Daviel elbowed me in a "told you so" way and I ignored him. "Nice to meet you, Destin,"Zander said formally. I glared at Jestin and then grabbed my invisible skirt and courtsied,"It was very nice to meet you too, Sir Zander." I spoke in a fake British accent.
