Sorry I took so long to update. I just started school -.- and I've had a busy past week. Thanks to all my great and totally awesome reviewers! Hope you enjoy this chapter :)
Holly
I stared wide-eyed at Jason. Did he say what I think he just said? That... I'd either turn into a vampire... or die? I let my head drop into my hands.
"Th-" I was cut off violently with a bone-shattering shot of pain throughout my body. I heard my name being called distantly, but it was too hard to focus.
Derrick
We were almost home, Cassie and I. Of course, I was way faster, so Cassie was at least 30 or 40 miles behind me. My mind was racing almost as fast as my feet.
Kill Holly or betray Luke?
Listen to my head or my heart?
Head or heart, head or heart, head or heart...
Holly
I could feel my muscles tearing, bones breaking. I didn't realize I was on the floor until my head met cold hardwood. I heard loud screaming, it was hurting my ears, and I desperately wished it would stop.
I forced my eyes open, to see Jason knelt down beside me, his hands hovering over me, but not touching. It was as if he was afraid to touch me. I averted my gaze to my hands. Along with every other body part, they were killing me. I gagged when I saw why. My fingers were bent in odd angles, broken. They straightened themselves back and then bent again, over and over.
I closed my eyes, then realized the screaming was coming from me.
Derrick
100 miles away from the mansion.
I picked up my pace. For some reason... I felt like I needed to get there. Now. It was a gut feeling, like when you get a bad feeling about something, when you choose one banana over another because you had a bad feeling about the other one, then you find out later your friend got sick from eating that banana.
I've got a bad feeling about this banana.
Holly
I can't move. I can't even jerk around like a girl having a seizure, because my muscles aren't working. I'm paralyzed.
And my bones are still doing the freaky break-heal-break thing. And yes, I can feel it. Just imagine having a two-ton rock dropped on you, healing, then having it dropped on you again, over and over.
It's not very pleasant.
Derrick
30 miles away.
Almost there. The gut feeling turned into a large knot in my stomach, and now I knew something was wrong. What could've happened? Could it be Holly?
With that thought, I sped up even more.
Holly
My muscles are working now, buts that's not necessarily a good thing. They all feel like I pulled them almost past repair. Like when you're playing sports and you over-stretch something, like you're arm or leg. What I'm feeling now, is that tenfold.
I stopped screaming, because of the sensitivity of my ears. I bit my lip to stop myself as my leg broke again, drawing blood.
When will this end?
Derrick
I'm here.
I raced up into the mansion, sprinting right to Jason's room. I smelled blood coming from there. Holly's blood.
Holly
I was faintly aware of a door bursting open, shouting voices. I focused on one deep voice specifically. Derrick.
I opened my eyes to slits, all I could manage at the moment. I spotted Derrick staring at me, shocked, scared, worried. And there was something else there I couldn't quite name.
Derrick
I punched the door out of the way, no time to bother with door knobs. The first thing I saw was Jason kneeling next to Holly on the floor. And after smelling the blood, I thought the worst. I was angry. How could Jason take Holly's blood?
"Jason!" I shouted, furious.
He turned to me, speechless, frantic. And then I realized it wasn't my anger that scared him. I focused on Holly, she was jerking about. Sickeningly, her bones were breaking over and over.
"What's happening?" I barely yelled.
Jason looked over at me with wide-eyes, "She's... she's Changing."
"No. No, no, no. No."
This can't be happening. No yet. Not until I make up my mind! Why does she have to be Changing? Why did Luke have to order me to kill her when she did? Why does my life suck so much right now?
The decision has to be made.
Luke or Holly?
Holly or Luke?
Betray my brother or kill the only girl I've ever bothered to fall in love with?
I could feel my un-beating heart being torn in two.
