This is the last part for the story. I know I have put like three chapter in the last two days, but I had time and my dad had taken the modem of my internet so I could not update. So enjoy and read and review!

Final Stretch Part IV

"About Kayla," Nicole said.

"Yes."

"Well, about?" Bella asked.

"Kayla didn't just fall. I've see it before while back when I first met Kyle-I fell more than once. It led me to realize I only have five years to live. My body could not handle my mind. I tried to training Kayla while she was away, but the CIR 2.0 must've taken away strength."
Kayla fell again with a thud. Bella helped her up.

Adam said,

"You see? Help her up. Sit her down."

"If it continues, we'll have a doctor check her out?"

"I don't think a doctor can diagnose what she has, Nicole. Day by day, she's getting worse. I hate to say it, she may have just a few months to live."

A few days later, there was no change, Kayla could walk for short periods of time, but that was it.

Nicole asked,

"Would a hospital save her?"

"No, nothing could save her. She would rather die with people. She cares for everyone rather than to suffer in a hospital. We must call Sarah and Jessi. Kyle will do so."

Kyle called Jessi and Sarah. Jessi could not believe it-Kayla-dying? She had saved lives, and she dies, too?"

Days later, Adam and Kyle took Kyle for a walk in Seattle.

Kyle said,

"It's best we tell you now."

"Tell me what," Kayla asked.

"In a couple of months, because of what happened, you're going to die."

"Die?"

Adam replied,

"Your mind and body has become very weak. All the conditioning I had given you was drained completely. As the days go by, you're trying to remain strong, but you can't. Nothing can save you. Have you noticed why you fall a lot?"

"I don't know."

"Your brain where you memory was also hit central part of movement."

Kyle POV

Kayla always tried fighting off her pain and I admired her tenacity. She possessed great potential and would always leave a legacy of understanding.

We did not when Kayla was going to leave us. But...Adam began the arrangement.

Normal POV

Bella said,

"Edward, Carlisle, can you help Kayla?"

"You mean...?"

"Yes, and then she can save Jonathan."

"She'll be a newborn and she won't handle it. You know you were lucky."

"We can try. We ask Kyle and Adam."

"Yes, we'll try," Carlisle said somberly, "for most it is a last resort. I let Edward do it for you and everyone of my family."

A day later, Bella, Carlisle, and Edward approached Adam Baylin,.

"Adam, we wished to ask you. Kayla's dying," Carlisle began, "and Bella and Edward say that we can let her live by becoming a vampire."

"As a last resort?" Adam asked.

Carlisle nodded.

"I can do it-I've saved people from suffering such as Edward and my family."

"Yes."

"Give me a few days," Carlisle said, "Then, I'll do it."

"She'll have her normal strength again."

Bella told Kayla,

"There is one thing you should know."

"What?"

"Be you. You may have lost your memory, but your heart will not disappear."
Kyle said,

"Bella right, you know."

"You told me what I did, even then, my memory will not return."

"You don't know that, Kayla." Kyle replied.

Adam and Kyle once again realized why Kayla had lost her memory.

"Brian Taylor left his will to his brother and with that, he plotted to kill Kayla by creating the CIR 2.0. Ryans has yet to be found."
"He won't, Adam."

"He's going to find Kayla and when he does, Kayla's going to fight it."

"Even as vulnerable as she is?"

"Yes."

Five days passed.

One night, Ryans had returned.

"If the CIR 2.0 did not kill her, I will."

Kyle heard something. Everyone heard something, too.

"Kayla!" Kyle yelled,

"It's Ryans! Don't go out there!" Bella cried out.

Kayla POV

I paid no attention. My heartbeat was in my ears. I had to kill...destroy, for he was my enemy. I knew. I knew.

Adam, Bella, Edward and Carlisle all went outside.

Edward said,

"Just stay here for now. Let her handle it."

-

"Look at you, Kayla XX, and see that you have no chance. Come with me, and you shall live in peace."

Adam yelled,

"Leave her alone, Ryans. You took her life away, what more do you want?"

"I wanted to show the world how weak she truly is."

"Kayla," Kyle told me, "Don't hold back. Beat him-Kill him if you have to."

Yes, I remember...I'm a Latnok creation. Beaten daughter discovered by Kyle. A year of training with Adam Baylin. A gift of fire and wind.

Go, go, go, go, Kayla.

Earth, wind, water, fire, bring to me my heart's desire.

Latnok ring.

Kyle. Adam. Jessi. Sarah. Edward. Bella. Carlisle.

I cried out,

"I know who you are, Ryans Johnson-Taylor. I know tried to kill me more than once. And your company, Madacorp will die soon, I know it."

Concentrate, fire, burn.

The wind blew Ryans to the ground....and then a flame came upon him. Wind and fire join in harmony now.

Gradually, I made the flame bigger and bigger. And then...Ryans was engulfed in flames. Dead. The cremation of a human being. Soon, it was over. I don't truly know how it happened that night, how did I produce a fire so great and so much to remember in one night? Adam was right...I had to get it back....when the time was right.

I had given up my last energy. After fifteen minutes had gone by, I was beginning to feel faint that I fell to the ground. I sat up, and I tried to relax.

Bella, Carlisle, and Edward, Adam, Jessi, and Kyle all ran out to me.

"Kayla, wake up....it's okay..." Bella said.

"I remember now. Now....you must do it....Now...before I die." I said weakly.

Carlisle nodded.

"Who's going to do it? Bella?"

"I'm not ready. I've never done human blood before."

"You've proven to have self-control with human. So you'll do enough and you'll stop. I'll tell you when."

Bella leaned toward me with her mouth open, teeth ready. I took a deep breath. She slowly began the arduous task of my blood. I began to feel the pain.

"That's enough, Bella. Let the venom spread."

I felt the pain. I was burning. Stronger than the fire that I put on Ryans. I held back my screams until I uttered one loud, shrill, scream that I knew would be heard for a long time. The last I remember was everyone carrying me to my room.

"Come on. We'll all go to her room."

That was the last I remember as I continued to writhe in pain. You'd think I was already dead.

I could not sleep. My body and soul was changing. Yet I knew what will happen now. Forever.

I loved my family-Kyle, Jessi, Nicole, Lori, Josh, Adam, Sarah, Stephen.

My friends-Bella, Edward, Carlisle and my boyfriend, Jonathan.

I can fight this pain, but I knew that this was one pain not necessary to fight.

It was like being burned, strapped into the CIR 2.0, beaten down, shot a hundred times, all at one time. Stabbed in the heart.

For two days, I stayed like this.

Until..it was time....It was time.

"Kayla?" Kyle asked.

Someone cried out,

"Jonathan woke up! He's okay. He's alive!"

Jonathan, alive again.

A sigh of relief.

Then, my eyes opened. I woke up, finally.

"Kayla, you are well?" Carlisle asked, "Everyone back away...just in case. There's nothing more dangerous than a newborn vampire."

I said,

"Yes. I heard someone say Jonathan is well. He's no longer in his coma."

Kyle answered,

"Yes. Jonathan's parents said he's going to be in physical therapy for a while, but other than that, he'll suffer no brain damage after leaving his coma."

"I'm being reborn and Jonathan was about to die and I had a feeling the somehow....even in my pain....I finally saved him."

"You did," Jessi said, "for I felt it."

Carlisle was all business, though.

"We all need to hunt before you see anyone else. Just because...you might want other's blood and you're not going to be human blood-sucking."
I nodded.

Normal POV

Carlisle said quietly to Edward,

"How can this be?"

"Well, I can't read Kayla's mind. I've tried. However, Bella and Kayla can communicate telepathically. Her self-control and talents she has a pod-child-they're going to be amplified. She'll be faster and stronger than I."

"All of us," Carlisle replied.

Kayla POV

I could say much of my first "hunt." Really, a crash course. Eighteen forever. Oh, the irony. Poor Kyle. Jessi.

My first deer. I lunged toward it and attacked it. Right away, I thought.

Yes, kill it.

I began drinking the deer's blood and soon it was finished. After another deer was caught, I finished it off.

"Good job, Kayla. Nice touch."

Day after day, I showed no desire for tasting human blood. I felt that I needed see Jonathan, for it was the first time in nearly a year and half that I had seen him conscious again.

Pride, beauty, strength, speed.

I drove my car to the house and I said,

"Is Jonathan home?"

"Yes. He's on the couch-studying. He's pretty homebound. You know."

I nodded.

I took a deep breath.

"Jonathan...."

"Kayla?"

"You're alive and safe."

I hugged him and we started to make out. For twenty minutes, I was kissing with tongue and passion. Then, something happened.

I smelled his strong scent and his blood, of course. Carlisle had warned me all vampires can smell human blood. And it's up to me to ignored. But for some reason, I was tempted. Maybe I was thirsty again. But I had just had blood a week ago.

My instincts. I wanted to lunge. My body quivered. Go! Go! Go!

I said,

"I have to go home. I thought I could handle it."

Only thirst.

I hadn't shown any thirst for Kyle or the Tragers. But Jonathan? I saved his life, why would I want to end it?

I would ask Carlisle, Edward and Bella.'

"Carlisle, Bella, Edward," I said, "Something went wrong. At Jonathan's house. I almost attacked him..."

Carlisle replied,

"You're a newborn vampire, but if you were able to stop yourself, you cannot kill them."

"He wouldn't understand and I can't just avoid him. I can't leave here again."

"Does he love you?"

"Yes. He knew of me being a pod-child. I have decided I can't make him one of us, I can't risk it.....he woke up from his coma and that saved him from a thirst for blood. I still don't want this for him. I gave up my chance because I was dying. In a few days, I will break up with him. I have to do it now, not just because I am a vampire, but because I am still a part of the Latnok society. I have to protect them, including Kyle and Jessi. And Jonathan. I love him that I can't let him get hurt again. I am a newborn and I still have much to learn."

Kyle nodded, for he heard everything, too.

"I understand, Kayla." he said.

"It's my fault he was shot and in a coma. I've lived a risky, dangerous life and as much as I love Jonathan, it's too much."

I called him for dinner at the restaurant we met at-Nika's Restaurant.

After dinner, I said,

"Come outside to the veranda. I have to talk to you."

"Jonathan, you know it's my fault you almost died. I saved you, but I told you a secret. One that should not have been told to you. The man that shot you is dead...I killed him a week ago...for the peace of my society. However, I have to end my relationship with you."

"Don't you love me?"

"I do. I love you that you should stay away from me after tonight. I don't want you to be hurt again."
Finally, I made out with him. I knew what he and I wanted me to do. He wanted me show that I really loved him. Which I did. By doing it. So, I did. We went to his house and we did, I said, quoting my dear friend Adam Baylin,

"Jonathan, we shall see each other again....when the time is right. You won't forget me, but you'll be safe."

He nodded.

I knew I had done that for him and me.

--

Carlisle said,

"How did it go?"

Bella added,

"How did Jonathan take it?"

"He understood, but he was heartbroken."
Just then, Adam said,
"You did the right thing."

I chose being myself. I chose why.

"In time, things will get better, and maybe the danger will be finished."

"Maybe," I said, "But I doubt it."

I doubt it. Whatever had happened, I knew that it was never going to end. Maybe?
