A/N;; Sorry I'm not to good with grammer x] Hope you like it. Reveiw.
It has been exactly three weeks since I had last seen Stevie Rae, Stark and the other red fledgings which was from the incident, strangely enough Neferet was never found after I had informed people about her reappearance, they didn't really believe me at first because of the whole 'erased memory' business but after some convincing and help, they got there in the end.
I was pestering people to let me out of the school, just because I was feeling a little weak, people were fussing over me like I was going to die! There was someone with me at all times, which was ridiculous but I guess I felt safe, Eric was with me most of the time.
"You should really go work in your own room" I said startling Erik.
There were papers scattered all over my bed from Eric's classes "Sorry, did I wake you?" I tried hard not to stare into his eyes as much, I couldn't bear to look at his face only because it felt like I was betraying him in a way. I nodded even if it was a lie, I just wanted to be alone and I could tell Eric wanted to do the same.
"Go" I said "I will be fine" I gave a convincing smile.
I helped him pick up his papers "Ouch!" a sharp pain hit my finger, I had given myself a paper cut as if my life wasn't tragic enough, a thin red line on my index finger was dripping with blood "Woah, are you okay?" I looked up from the finger to his face, I had warned myself not to look into Erik's blue eyes because when I did, something happens inside of me, I feeling a didn't like, a feeling of guilt.
"I'm uh-" Loss of words, I was trying hard to focus on not getting blood all over students work.
"We should get you a bandage or something" he said looking around the room.
"No no its okay, I'll live" My mind was focusing on the bleeding finger.
"Are you sure?" he asked.
"I'm fine" I was getting agitated.
"Call me if you need-"
"Go!" I snapped.
Okay, so that may of sounded harsh and the look on his face said it all but it just had to be done so I didn't bother apologising.
The minute I heard his footsteps go off in the distance I shot out of bed, it felt weird to be able to stand on my own two feet and no one sitting on me, I gave it a few seconds to process the cold, hard wooden floor against my feet and got out sweat pants and hoodie from the closet but as I looked inside the closet there was nothing in there!
Had someone stolen all my clothes for fun or was I going insane? Asking someone about them would be a very bad idea, I noticed that my suitcase - the bag I had used to bring all of my clothes-
Oh. Right.
I went to the floor under my bed and remembered I had packed my suitcase earlier to leave with Heath. I sighed deeply. Its never going to happen something was telling me this was true.
My bug, the one that hasn't been used in like a month or two was sitting just outside the school grounds near the back, I hopped inside and it was freezing. I turned on the heater and began driving, another new weird feeling as I haven't driven my own car in a while and obviously haven't put any petrol in a while too! Even though my chances of reaching to the tunnels with my car were pretty slim with the amount of petrol I had in the tank, I carried on driving, I had no money for petrol anymore.
"Crap!" I shouted - yep! You guessed it, half a mile away from the tunnels and it runs out of gas, pretty annoyed I get out of my car with my hands deep in my pocket and starting walking very fast. As I got there I remembered how cold and dirty the tunnels were but pushed that thought out of my head and looked around the tunnels for her.
I stormed into a room where Stevie Rae was snuggling in her blanket.
"Why?" I asked.
"Zoey?" she asked surprised to see me.
"I know you did it"
"What are you-"
"I know you bit Heath!" My anger was getting the better of me, but the thought of someone else being imprinted with Heath was infuriating.
"No Zoey, its not what you think-" she followed the direction I was facing and I was more than horrified to at what I was seeing.
Sure, I have encountered with death before, I've seen people I love die but this was horrifying. All of those innocent humans probably three weeks worth. I had this horrible feeling like I was going to puke, I couldn't take it - I wish I had never left the school now, I was terrified.
Down the tunnel I could hear someone screaming, I shot out the door "Zoey! Don't!"
"Leave her alone now!" I screamed at Stark who was biting another innocent sole.
He paused to look at me "Go away" his voice was dark, not the guy I once knew.
I called fire to help me this time "I said leave her alone!" I repeated ready to use the elements on him.
By this time the girl had stopped screaming but unconscious.
"Stevie Rae, she is weak, she needs blood, now step away" he took hold of the girl by the arm and dragged her across the floor, I used fire to burn his arm and he released her, this was my chance to save her I stood in front of her with my hands still blazing with fire "Why? Why kill someone for her?" I shouted.
He was staring below my eye level, jeez someone who was angry still had to time check out girls?
His mouth fell open as if he was even more hungry, I gave a sudden glance and realised he was looking at my dried up blood covered finger, I guess with all tension going on I had totally forgotten about it. I lifted my finger into my mouth "Don't you dare" I said the old taste of blood was not the best I had tasted, especially having it being my own, "So come on tell me?" I started shouting "Tell me!"
"Because..." He began, struggling with the answer but I stood alert "BECAUSE I LOVE HER"
My finger dropped to my side again with my mouth hanging open, it was an unexpected answer, I knew something was going on but love? My heart was beating really fast and I didn't like it, it shouldn't mean anything to me but it felt like it did. There was an unconscious girl nearly dieing from blood loss here and I was standing still staring at him like an idiot. Without another word I took hold of her and ran out of the tunnels hoping no red fledging was following behind. "Go near another human again and I'll..." I didn't mean to say it but it just came out "Kill you!" I felt like crying, it was hard holding back tears that shouldn't mean anything.
It was hard lifting up a girl who was around your weight up and out of the tunnels, this would of never happened if I was doing something other than sleeping in my bed all day. I was glad that it was dark, hopefully nobody would be around to see what I was doing carrying a dead body around "Please!" I sighed out in relief as I realised the girl was still alive but still hurt sleep talking as if she was still being attacked.
"Help me please! She's hurt! Help me!" there was a tall dark figure stood 30 paces down the road but I did not consider if they happened to be dangerous but as if they were flying the person arrived to us in no time.
"Can you call-"
The figure lifted off its hood and it was a woman. But not any woman.
"Ha. Zoey Montgomery come to save the day again" her voice was sleek and calm reading for action "But not today"
She grabbed one of my shoulders roughly, her long nailed fingers dinging into my skin, in her other hand a shiny object rapidly hitting my front hard and then out again. I felt like I couldn't breath, I looked down at the pain and realised the other girl to touch the pain, hot red blood trickled down my clothes, it was coming out fast.
"Elements.....please.....hel" was all I managed to say "me" I breathed as I hit the floor hard which made the pain infuriating. Since I've been here, I have been depending on my elements alot, what if they wern''t going to help me anymore? The pain increased as i realised why she had hit me in my stomach and not straight at my brain or heart, this was obviously the sort of pain she wanted to inflict on me and it worked. Hitting my heart or brain could of killed me instantly no pain attached, things were the total opposite with my stomach.
The last thing I saw was a woman in tall black stiletto heels stepping over me as I felt my whole body beginning to explode in pain drowning in my own blood. Some people who have had a near death experience would see a bright light, all I saw was darkness. I feel this was 'The End' for me.
