Chapter 17.
Derek
I watched as Alicia ran out the room and down the hall, i tried to run after her but when I turned in the hall I knocked over a big cart of food and a few nurses. But when I looked back up I saw that she was gone, jumping up i ran over to the others eyes blood red.
"Logan you check this floor, Jess you go to the third, Selene, secound, Trey first and I'll check the parking lot. Where is Freddie and Jenny!?" I glared around but didn't see them, Oh no they must have ran after her! I punched the wall and began to run down the stairs at vampire speed, I quickly made my way to the parkinglot and stared oout. My pulse was pumping loooking around trying to catch her scent or a thought of hers. I found nothing I almost punched myself when I saw ashadow I saw it with long hair, tall, and there was something about them, Alicia? I started jogging over then the shadow dropped to the floor, i ran and got theer but saw it wasn't Alicia it was a blonde crumpled on the ground crying.
"Heyy are you okay?" I put a hand on her shoulder and she looked up at me with a grin on her face and an evil laugh, i stepped back but an arm gripped around my neck. I tried to pull free but the guy had a grip on me.
"Aye mate I wuen't try too much now I could just snap your neck right now." The voice was british and I knew this was the guy Selene had described from her vision. The girl stood up and I took in her appearance sort of a golden blonde, green eyes, and her smile was wickedly ugly.
"Now it's ashame we have to save you for the next thousand years, Chantel wants to keep fucking with your life. But damn what I wouldn't give to screw you then kill you." She pecked my cheek and I brought my fist as high as I could and punched her stomach, she bent over and growled. Bringing her hand up she threw it to punch me back but nothing happened, I opened my eyes and saw Jess had caught her hand mid-stride and flipped her on the ground. She rolled then lunged for the blonde.
"Katie!" The british guy yelled which I read his mind and his name was Jackson, but his grip loosened and I flipped him off me and he landed on the ground with a huge thud. Logan came running and pulled him to his feet, he fought back but I kicked him in the face and he grunted.
"You still glad you're on Chantel side!" I yelled.
"Very and you wanna know why," I glared at him, "I get to distract you while your girlfriend dies." He laughed and I lost it, I gripped his face and ripped his head off throwing it at the Katie girl. She screamed and bust into tears, but Jess ended her misery when Selene ripped off her arm and she ripped off her head. I heafed and took out my lighter as Trey came down the allay and stopped, after they piled the pieces up I threw a piece off paper on the bodies and walked away. I looked around and started running as a thought ran threw my head, Find Alicia and Jenny if either of them is hurt I'm will go and kill myself. I kept going and heard steps pounding the ground and stopped when i saw jenny and Freddie, I ran to them and hugged jenny and she squeezed back.
"I'm so glad you're okay, if you got hurt mom would have icked my ass!" I almost laughed when I heard her sniffle, "Jen what's wrong" that's when I looked up to not see Alicia, "where's Alicia!?"
"They have her, Chantel and this guy, they have her in this alley we were tied up. but when we got free Alicia forced us to go find you guys. But Der-der-derek they..." She stopped and my heart raced.
"They what Jenny what did they do!?"
"They stabbed her..." she finished in her crying voice and I pulled away from her in shock, I kicked the wall and went back to Jen.
"Where is the alley Jen?"
"I don't know we were lost until we came here, we just kept running." Her crying increased and I looked up at Logan.
"Let's go Lo, girls take them back to the hospital." i got up and began to run with Logan by my side, kept my ear to the wind just incase I heard a thought from her. i caught a scent and knew it was her but I stopped when I got one of her thoughts, I felt darkness creeping in. i began to run to the thought and came to an alley to see alicia on the ground in a dude's arms with blood everywhere, I saw a crumpled body on the ground and knew it was Chantel. I rushed over and glared at the guy but went to Alicia. i took her wrist and felt for a pulse but her skin froze my fingers at how cold it was.
"No she can't be dead!" I yelled and pulled her into my arms holding her carefully, i felt a tear roll down my cheek when a hand came to my shoulder.
"Derek she's gone."
"No no Logan she can't be," I looked at her now pale face, "she's my verdita."
"Derek you know ther's only one way to keep her by you." I knew what he meant.
"I can't I can't let her live the rest of her life as a monster!"
"It's either that or she leaves all of us behind." His voice was low. I knew it was the only way so i leaned in and bite her neck forcing in as much venom in as I could, just to be sure. Her blood was rich and sweet I tried not to suck much off it so I could get more venom in her, lowly I pulled away her blood lining my lips.
"We have to get her back home just to be sure." I got up with her slowly and began to walk when I heard the guy stand up, I turned to see him right behind me.
"I want to come with you."
"Hell no!" I yelled but Logan stepped infront of me holding me back.
"I'm apart of her past and I still love her." He said firmly glaring back at me, if I hadn't had Alicia in my arms I would have tackled him by now. But instead I just turned and speed walked back to her house, we walked in to find all the others there with worry in their faces. They all jumped when they saw us, made my way to her room and laid her on her bed slowly, I turned to see Jess and Sselene with rags, clothes, and medicine shit I had no idea about. I left the room and dropped to the floor curling into a ball and I just started throing a tantrum, because I was pissed off at the world. I screamed, kicked, yelled, and balled out for about an hour before selene came out Alicia's room her eyes zoned and I knew she was seeing something. But when i got up she flashed back her face full of happiness, I rushed over and looked down at her happy face.
"What did you see?" I knew my voice sounded raspy but scream for an hour and you'll have a shitty voice too.
"Alicia she's gonna be okay." She grabbed my hand and flashed me forward.
I saw two figures running along a beach then they came into focus, it was me and Alicia. I saw her skin was glowing and she looked so lively, it was amazing i found her dead almost an hour ago. She turned to the vision me and smiled showing her fangs.
"Bet you can't get me!" She yelled and ran into the water and I ran after her.
"She's gonna live!?" My heart was leaping with joy as I asked.
"Yes she should be waking up soon." Selene shrugged.
"Around what time?"
"Another hour."
"I can't wait that long!" I started pacing uncertain how long I could go waiting for her to wake up.
1 Hour and 40 minutes later...
I was still pacing my energy still high, not decreased once since I started. I stopped pacing when I heard a grunt and walked to the door to see the others standing around her, all smiles on their faces. I looked down at her face and it was glowing.
I almost jumped with joy as she started moving, "Guys she's getting up."
I always pictured my life I graduate from college, get a singing career, have at least two or three kids, and die old and grey. I never thought about my death, but in many ways I always thought it would be peaceful. But the way Chantel dug that knife in my side I just felt my breath leave my throat, my thoughts end, and my pulse begin to slow I just wanted to die as fast as possible. But of course it was slow and painful as the blood leaked from my body I just felt cold and withering away, my last moments in Johnathan's arms I regreted I wished they were Derek's. I had been walking for at least a very long time I had expected to be at heaven by now.
"You're far from it CiCi." i stopped when i heard that name, it was the name Meagan used to call me.
"MeMe!?" I turned to see my sister with her long flowing brown hair, glowing white dress, and large wings, "You're an angel."
"Something like that I'm not veery high but yea I'm an angel Alicia." Her sarcasm made me giggle, i could feel tears coming up.
"So are you here to help me get to heaven?"
"No Alicia I'm not," this stunned me, "its' not your time Alicia well technically you're not going to die anytime soon. Derek has done something God frowns upon and so you're going to live for eternity, or until someone destroys your body."
"What are you talking about!?"
"Derek has turned you into a vampire to keep you alive for all of their sakes, Freddie needs you, Derek loves you, and amber needs you most to get through this most terrible of times. In a few more minutes you'll wake up and you'll never see us again." She frowned and walked over to me wrapping her arms around me.
"Us?"
"Us," She pulled back and I looked over to see my parents holding each other.
"What was god thinking when he let you two into Heaven!?" i almost screamed, and I saw they were crying.
"Alicia we know we hurt you so much and drove you and Freddie away but we want you to know we are so sorry. We never understood how wrong we were, when we came here your sister found us and explained everything. We don't blame you anymore just please forgive us." My mother said sadly and brought tears to my eyes.
"For so long you had me hurting pisssed off at you wishing you would die, hating how you treated me. Iwas mad for so long just wishing you guys would love me the way I saw people loved their kids on tv. But for the first time hearing you say you're sorry makes me feel overwelmed, but I forgive you!" I shouted and ran into their arms they gripped me back and Megan joined the hug. I held them all tight when heard a buzzing sound and pulled away to see my body disappearing, "No! I can't go I want to stay!"
"You can't you have to get back to them all exspecially Freddie he needs you." My dad said bowing his head.
"I love you guys."
"We love you too." They all said at the same and i was gone into blackness.
I felt a warm sensation over my body and shivered, I knew I needed to open my eyes when I felt an hand on my stomach and shot my eyes open. I flipped over and was crouched ontop of johnathan my mouth open bearing my teeth. I shook my head and realized what just happened, I leaped up and looked around to see the others staring at me.
"What's going on?" I looked at my side where Chantel had stabbed me but the cut was gone, I brought my hand to my mouth and felt the fangs on the side of my mouth and gasped.
"Alicia just calm down there's nothing to be afraid of." Selene said slowly walking towards me.
"Ali we don't wanna hurt you." logan motioned Jess.
"Alicia just stay where you are." Jess said as soft as possible. Johnathan stood up and the floor creaked, something in my sharpened and I darted for him.
"Verdita!" I froze and my thoughts to attack Johnny stopped I turned to see Derek his arms open, my instincts kicked in and I ran into his arms and tightened my grip. He held me and I kept him close, "Guys give us a minute." He said and I heard shuffling and the door shut.
I looked up at him, "Is it true you changed me because you couldn't live without me?"
"Yes I couldn't go the next centries without the love of my life." And with that he pulled me in and we passionately kissed when theer was a knock at the door. It opened to see Freddie and his eyes wide to see me up.
"Sissy!" He ran over and hugged my torsoso tightly, but I was shocked I didn't feel it. i looked up at Derek with worry in my eyes.
"Don't worry you'll start feeling again in a day or two." He smiled.
"Good because we have at least a good weeks worth of nights to make up for!" i giggled and Freddie 'ewwed'. Derek came over and joined the hug and kissed my forehead.
