Took me long enough to upload one chapter. I actually had this chapter written out a long time ago but was too busy with college and assignments that I completely forgotten about it. I know I am evil and deserve to be burn, so go ahead and burn me. Thank you, thank you so much for still reading this story! All of your reviews made me really happy! At least I know there are still people reading this, so please review at the end of it and tell me what you think of this chapter. It is a very short one so please don't put your hopes too high!

Chapter 15: The Revenge

I opened my eyes to see myself standing in the same long room with dimly lit candles floating in mid-air. The floor tiles are still of the same color; white and black, like of a chessboard. I groaned as I folded my arms across my chest. This was really getting to be a pattern.

And I am already sick of this same boring room.

Suddenly I was very aware of someone standing in front of me. I looked up and saw the other me, this time dressed in a white gown so long that it trailed behind her feet. Her hair was still the same brilliant red and her eyes a vivid fury fire. She smiled at me, her smile menacing yet enchanting. She reached out her hand to touch me but I pulled away, remembering the last time she tore my neck.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you," she actually had the balls to look offended.

I scowled at her, "What do you want? Why are you here?"

She rolled her eyes at me like I was stupid, "You are unconscious, so of course I'd be here."

Then I just recalled what happened in the real world. My hand sub-consciously flew up to my neck. "I…Victor…" I swallowed hard, trying not to panic as I recalled the pain that I no longer felt in this realm. "Did…did I die?"

My other self snickered at me, "If you are dead, you would no longer dream; or have you lost your rational mind when Victor bit you?"

Well, I am glad at least this part of me is still sarcastic, I thought bitterly. But realization dawned on me like a tidal wave.

"If I didn't die that means…I am no longer human, am I?"

She waved a hand at me, "You are still human," Suddenly she looked very dangerous when she turned her red eyes on me, a malicious smile on her lips. "Or do you no longer want to be human?"

I took a step back, "I still want to remain human, thank you very much."

"But I need you to die so I could live," she cocked her head to one side; feign innocence as much as her vixen form allows. She had taken a step towards me and with each step I took backwards, she stood closer. Even though we are of the same height, she looked more intimidating than I am. I bet babies would cry if they see her.

Then a thought just strike me; we are the same person. She is a part of me, my conscience; that should make me more superior, isn't it? So I decided to take the risk and stand my ground.

I stood tall and with the sternest voice I could muster, I said, "Back off."

Immediately my other self stopped in her tracks, her eyes widen for a moment before returning back to being mocking. "So you are going to go against me now?"

I stared back at her hard, "You should be the one listening to me; not the other way around."

Suddenly she didn't look that scary anymore. She looked so tame, so fragile, and so…human. "I can't come to life if you don't die, Adele." Her voice was so sad it was almost too painful to hear.

"But I don't want to…I can't die…yet." I sighed when I thought of Fragrance, of Nathaniel…and him. If I become a vampire, they can never touch me again; nor can I lay my hands on them without tearing their throats out. I don't want to hurt anyone, especially my own flesh and blood. If I become a vampire, my chance of being with him is completely ruined.I stare right into her eyes, "I don't want to become a vampire."

There was a wave of sadness from her eyes when I said that. She diverted her eyes away from me but occasionally looking up to meet mine. "Why is being vampire that bad? Do you hate them so much? Do you hate Dominic?"

Now, why on earth was his name brought up?

Do I hate them? Images of Horatio, Maxine and the rest of his brothers flooded my mind. Yes, they might have been the cause of the pain and despair I had to suffer through this many years but there is definitely one thing I can not deny. And that is I love each and every one of them.

She sensed my hesitation because she took a step closer and smiled at me; she looked so angelic for a sudden. "Adele, you will age and die while the rest can live on forever…you don't have much time," she pointed to my heart, "and you know it. I think deep down, you know how you feel about aging."

I didn't say anything back. It is as if she could read my mind completely. Oh wait. She is me. I looked down at my hands; yeah, god knows how long I have thought about this before. I know Fragrance and Nathaniel is a werewolf and they don't age that quick like humans do. I know I will leave before they do…but how I envy their ability to stay forever beautiful and young.

"There," I looked back up at her and saw her mocking smile at me, "every human is like that. When they can't have something everyone else have, they get jealous," I was going to argue about that but she waved a finger in front of my face, "Don't deny, Adele. But don't worry; you can have that immortality; as long as you let me take over."

"No—" I didn't get to finish what I wanted to say. Something is wrong; everything around me is falling off like old paint on wall, my mind is getting clouded and I felt dizzy. I wobbled a bit and was about to fall when a pair of hands grabbed me. I looked at the pale hands before looking up at the owner. Instantly, a smile made its way up my lips.

"Dominic,"

Dominic smiled back at me. I don't know why, but seeing Dominic was relieving. But there was something about him that I could not put my finger on…

"Adele, dear, I am so sorry." Dominic held my hands in his and kissed each finger very carefully, sending tingles down my spine. Now, this is something Dominic never does in reality and the feeling it is giving me is…nice. "I am so sorry for what has happened to you,"

I raised an eyebrow at him, "What are you talking about? Why are you sorry? Don't blame your self with what Victor did to me," I will just kick his sorry ass the next time I see him; if he is still alive, that is.

Dominic shook his head, his sapphire blue eyes staring deeply into mine, "No, you don't understand. What I have done caused this…I need you to help me, Adele." His hand was caressing my face when he said it, "Please end my life, Adele."

"What?" I half-shrieked, my eyes widen with horror. "Are you out of your mind, Dominic? Why do you want to die?" I pulled my hands out of his and took a step back, now visibly offended that Dominic actually asked me to end his life.

Dominic closed the distance between us and held my hands captive again, "No, please I beg of you, my beautiful flower. Adele, please look at me," he placed one hand lightly on the side of my face so I would look at him, he could see the sadness in my eyes because he smiled, "Don't feel sad for me; I want this."

I jerked my head away from his hand, "That is nonsense, Dominic! Who seeks death on his own? And since when do you call me by so many sweet nicknames?" Something in my mind was screaming for me to run…but why?

Dominic moved closer and out of the blue, he pulled me into a tight embrace. "I am seeking for death, Adele, because death seeks for you! You will die and I will be left alone in this world again…please, my love, don't do this the way Ashlie did to me. I won't be able to survive another heartbreak…" When Dominic said 'my love', I felt my heart turned over in my chest. God, the things he does is making me feel so happy, so loved. Or maybe that is just because I haven't had a man in my life for so long.

I felt my head spin again and everything when cloudy again.

Don't listen to him, Adele!

"Don't listen to whom?" I asked as I grabbed my head, feeling worst than just dizzy; my head feels as if it is being torn apart.

"Listen to me, Adele." Instantly the pain and confusion stopped. Dominic was there again, smiling his heart-melting smile and his sapphire blue eyes sparkling. "I love you, and even if you don't love me…please do as I ask. End my suffering, my misery and my sins!"

My heart fluttered when Dominic declared his love to me. Never in my life would I have expected him to say those words, to me! I don't know why I was feeling this giddily, like a teenage girl in love. What is wrong with me?

"How?" I asked, suddenly feeling very tired.

Dominic gently touched the side of my face as my vision started to blur, "Oh, you will know how to. Now rest, and fulfill my revenge."

I was going to say 'what revenge?' but darkness ate at my vision and I was out.
