My sheets begin to turn red as blood runs down the side of my arm. I don't even realize what I'm doing as the blade slits through the skin on my wrist. Everything comes to an abrupt silence except for the non-stop echoing of hissing. I then hear the pitter patter of footsteps running. Vanessa, Dante, Mercy, and Jane come bursting through my door. Everyone begins to come towards me with a crazed look in their eye. Abby sees what will happen and takes Mercy's face in her hands. She tries with all her might to calm him down.
I see them gaze into each other's eyes as Mercy starts to back down. I begin to see Aro peeking through the door, just as Dante jumps at me, Aro appears right in front of me in a split second. I couldn't exactly see what had happened, but Dante went flying backwards and Jane started to back down. I then hear the sickening crack of bones shifting telling me that Vanessa has changed. I see Vanessa pounce at Aro, I use my power to push him to safety and Vanessa comes at me full force. I feel incredible pain as her claw presses against my neck. Suddenly Vanessa flies off me and I'm in someone's cold arms; I look up to see Alec's familiar face. But I see Alec struggling with the scent of my blood and in a matter of seconds I'm in another's arms. I look up to see Aro and everything around us becomes a blur as he runs out of the room to the throne. Everything from that point on is complete darkness.
The weight lifted from my eyes and I awake to blurry faces. The blur slowly becomes clearer until I recognize Aro, Abby, and Mercy hovering above me. I remember what had happened and my hand flies up to my neck. I felt something soft wrapped around it and figured that it was a bandage. I then come to notice that another bandage was around my wrist as well.
"Are you that stupid?!" Mercy gripped my shoulders, anger written all over his face.
I was shocked; I've never seen him like this before…ever.
"You could've gotten yourself killed!" he shouted;
"Then I made myself clear" I snapped.
Mercy was speechless.
"Why?" Abby asked calmly,
"Why not? I've lost everything! My own family hates me…I'm dangerous to be around and I just lost the love of my life!" I yelled, tears betraying me.
"What do you mean…lost the love of your life?" Abby asked;
I had forgotten that they did not know about Jane and Dante. I took a deep breath and began to tell them what happened between the two. The expressions on their faces became consumed with anger.
"Where is he?" Aro asks gently but sternly; I shrug
"Probably with Jane…" I said with venom dripping from every word.
"Good, two birds with one stone" Aro says as he disappears in a gust of wind. "Sora…" I look over at Abby;
"We should…leave…me, you, and Mercy. You need to be away from Vanessa and Dante for a while." She told me.
Mercy nodded
"Let's go home"
He helps me stand and he and Abby help me walk to my room to gather my belongings.
"I'm glad I met you Sora and Abby. Be careful on your way back" Aro says to us as we walk out of the castle.
Before the doors close behind us, I see the disappointed faces of Dante and Vanessa.
