Part Thirty-Two:

"I'm timing you. You've got fifteen minutes until I get in there and rip out your throat,"Daviel stated in a matter-of-fact voice. As if this were an everyday thing. "Fine, you've got fifteen minutes to...to...,"I blanked out at another oportunity of sarcasm. This doesn't usually happen, but maybe today is a dawn of a new day. Or night. Same thing. Turns out I was right all along in the lines that vampires can't stand sunlight. Well, just for about a couple of seconds. Then they burn to ashes! Someone go stick Daviel in a ray for me.

"Fifteen minutes until I am left with silence? What a great deal that is,"Daviel said with a smile of malice. As if I'm going to let him kill me. No, I think I'll stick with keeping myself well into the time limit of fifteen minutes. I turned to look at the building that Daviel and Jestin had first held me in. You MUST be wondering what this is all about!

Let's see, I was walking around with Jestin after the laundry mess (What a MESS that was). Dumb inferences. If this were a real life, written story, the author would have to be insane to put Daviel and me together. It's damnation from the start! At least, I figure that much. ANYWAYS, I was going to mess with my class ring...a thing I do a lot, by the way. It was around then that I noticed my ring happened to have disappeared. Do you have ANY idea how much that cost?!

Well...well, it was only 120 dollars, but still.

So, being my usual...sweet/adorable/loveable self, I started my small quest to find my ring. This included me stomping and yelling about how I loved that ring to death and that I absolutely knew I didn't have it before I got sent to the hospital. Therefore, I remembered taking it off before stepping into the shower once. THEREFORE, it must be on the side of the sink in the bathroom connecting to Jestin's bedroom...well, old bedroom. Jestin didn't like to see me so upset, I guess.

So, she went to Daviel. I would have never done that. I mean, he'd most likely smiled with joy at my torment and say something idiotic like,"Oh, I remember seeing it. It's just where you said. I could drive you there...but I won't. Nope, just can't. Why? No reason. Just can't." Yep, that would be Daviel ALL there. Knowing that he's just pissing me off, so I would have never thought to go to that moron. Yet, you can always count on Jestin for ruining it all.

Daviel--of course--started to say no. I mean, it's his way. But knowing Jestin, she somehow begged him...poked him, proded, pleaded, praised him, pissed him off. All that good stuff in the 'P' section. Daviel FINALLY agreed to driving me over here to go fetch the ring. And now he had some stupid stop watch. I mean, this idiot was timing me on how fast I can run upstairs and find my ring. A ring in which could have been moved as easily as paper in the wind.

"Fine, fifteen minutes. If I'm not back by then, I've either ran away or tripped and snapped my neck,"I assured him sarcastically,"But don't worry. I won't need your help on that. I'm sure you'll be happy to come in, help me up, and snap my neck completely...thanks." Before he could respond, I smiled widely and entered the house quickly. I'm so good like that.

The house was...like...like totally, you know, razz-mattazle, big-bajazzle empty, girlfriend. For those who do not understand this language that I speakith...the house was fucking empty. It was bare as a naked bear. Stripped like a stripper. Blank like a blank book. The house...my fellow ones...was just a house with nothing in it. No time to completely feel weird about all the vanished furniture! I'm being timed here, and God knows if he's already chopping off time just to tick me off.

I stomped up the stairs and reached Jestin's door. With a jiggle of the door, I found it was locked. Who locks their empty bedroom that they no longer live in. I kicked the door without prevail. Well, I guess I could try the second door to the stupid bathroom. It works, right? "GOD, Jestin,"I yelled furiously. Then I heard a voice downstairs,"You've got TEN minutes before I kill you." I scoffed,"Unless I get DOWN there first, you--" I was interupted,"Don't you say anything more, or it's down to two minutes."

Fine. I turned and walked to the second door to the bathroom. I reached and grabbed the doorknob. Then my vision blurred quite suddenly. I turned to look at what's different. Nothing. Everything was just as it was. My twin wasn't even there. Then, suddenly, I myself said,"Damn it, Jestin. You locked THIS door, too?!" Well, I didn't say it. I mean, I haven't even tried to see if the door is locked. Then I saw somebody appear out of nowhere...as if in a puff of energy or something.

Then, before I could see who it was, they disappeared as my vision cleared. I looked down at the doorknob. It's going to be blocked. Somebody is going to show up in a energy cloud. I'm going to die. I turned and started to sprint down the hall. I hadn't gotten five steps when I turned to see the energy cloud appear. I ran towards the stairs, having no idea who that person was. I'm not so keen on trying to figure that problem out. They may love energy clouds, but I prefer my little cotton candy clouds made of evaporated liquid.

It's not as cool, but still not so scary.

Unless I happen to be up there without support.

Then comes gravity. AND down goes little Iveria Ivy.

In a burst of...I don't know...it seemed like a wave of wind or something. Either way, I was suddenly knocked off of my feet and slammed into the wall. "DAVIEL,"I screamed from reflex. And then sound was blocked off. Why, if this just doesn't suck. I blinked and glanced down at the ground. I had been slammed against the wall and now I was being held up with some kind of invisible force that is pratically choking me. My feet are hanging around two feet from the ground.

Now was the time to figure out how I'm hanging up here by my lonesome. I glanced ahead to where the energy cloud had appeared out of nowhere. A man stood, smiling wickedly at me. He had his hand held out, like Darth Vader or something. Well, I'm not even a Star Wars fan and I could spot this out. Though I couldn't spell it right if my life depended on it. I'd be surprised if I ever spelled anything right these days. Why am I talking about spelling? Some guy is going to kill me.

And he seems...well, I don't know.

This freak had black hair, go figure, as well. His eyes were---and this I could tell from over here---a blood red. The red Daviel gets when he's in blood lust. And I've now found I don't like that eye color. Makes your skin complextion absolutely ghastly. Let's make amends and get on our merry ways. I started to move my hands to get myself out of this mess, but I happened to have been completely attached to this wall. It loves me, I guess. Odd, but true.

What scared me was when this man started walking towards me, still smiling wickedly. I struggled to yell, move, ANYTHING. I had no clue what this guy was going to do. Then he stopped just in front of me. At this point, I've noticed that he's taller than me, but not as tall as Daviel. By the way, I thought I clearly yelled for Daviel's help. He probably thought I just couldn't find the ring--the stupid moron. Anyways, this guy here was now no longer smiling, but peering at me curiously.

He reached up to touch the side of my face and I winced. Don't you touch me. You keep your hands off me. I'll punch your back. That's right. I'll elbow your thigh. Sizzor kick you in the ear. Pow-pow. That'll show you to mess with me. "Wow,"the man suddenly said, turning my head to look...I don't know...at my other side of my head. What difference that'll make. "Out of all the people,"he said in such a dark voice. Naturally dark voice. I have no clue what he's talking about, though.

"Don't make a sound,"he growled suddenly,"I'm going to let you speak, but you can't make a sound or I'll hurt you so horribly." He looked as if he was going to add something, but paused and only smiled wickedly. I nodded shortly and he snapped his fingers. My voice-box was released simply. After a second of hesitation, I asked slowly,"Do I know you?" Then someone appeared at the top of the stairs. "Times up,"Daviel said absently, not looking up,"Guess she has a death wish after all."

The man turned and looked at Daviel. Then his expression turn to deep loathing and he started towards Daviel---the complete moron who wasn't even paying attention around him. "WATCH OUT,"I yelled just as the man walked two steps away. Daviel shot his head up and didn't even seem to think twice before disappearing. The man paused and turned to glare at me. "You...STUPID...hu-,"he snarled, stomping towards me furiously.

Then he was tackled to the ground. The whatever that was holding me up against the wall snapped and I fell to the ground painfully. I looked over to see Daviel punching the man, grabbing him around the shirt collar, and throwing him out the window with so much force that I gulped. I didn't even have time to congradulate Daviel on killing that...what? Demon? Daviel was grabbing my upper arm in a split second and zipping me through the house and outside.

He threw me in the car and jumped into the driver's side. "Daviel,"I said quickly. He didn't answer. Instead, Daviel started the car and slammed on the gas pedal. "DAVIEL,"I screamed furiously. Once again, the idiot didn't answer. He just went faster. "DAAAAAVVVVIIIEEELL,"I yelled on top of my lungs,"YOU FRIGGIN IDIOT!! DAVIEL, DAVIEL, DAVIEL, DAVIEL, DAV-"

"WHAT,"Daviel yelled in rage,"WHAT do you WANT? Shut UP. Just shut your stupid mouth!" I glared at him and he pulled the speed up to a hundred and twenty. With that, I grabbed my seat belt and clicked myself in. No way I'm going to let this kill me! "You shut up and answer my questions,"I snapped after a moment. Wondering how he's going to do them both? He'll figure it out himself. "WHO was that,"I asked demandingly.

Daviel shrugged, but didn't look at me. "What was it,"I asked, less loud. Daviel shrugged again. I glared at him. "I said-,"I started, but he smiled wryly. "You're just trying to annoy me,"I accused. Daviel glanced at me in slight amusement,"You said to shut up, but answer the questions." I scoffed,"Who was that!?" He shrugged,"Just some demon, I'm guessing. A powerful one." I narrowed my eyes in suspicion. "But then why would he be saying weird things and glaring at you like that,"I asked suspiciously.

Daviel shrugged, then paused. "Wait...what did he say,"he asked, suddenly curious. I sighed,"Just that 'Out of all the people' and 'wow'. Stupid demon." I went into my muttering of frustration. Then I looked at Daviel to see that he was looking at me with a slightly concerned look. As if he had this dark secret that he wasn't sure he should keep to himself. "What,"I asked curiously. I glanced at the road ahead of us,"You don't have to keep annoying me by looking at me so mu- DAVIEL!!"

There was someone in the middle of the road, just standing there. Daviel slammed on the brakes and turned the car to avoid the person. And then the weirdest thing happened. It's as if time just flew by...like in a flash. I was blinded by too fast movement, deaf by crashing, and I just plain ole lost my breath. The next second, there was silence. I was breathing, but coughing horrible. Well, I think I'm breathing. I'm not so sure. It feels as if a pressure is keeping me from breathing.

I seemed to be hanging upside-down.

Would I dare say that I think I've just been a victim of a major crash?
