The Endless Adventure, Sarah Doran [lightest ebook reader .txt] 📗

like hours. I got sleepy waiting. I fell asleep and saw myself in Jakes room. It was empty, except for me. The door opened. Jake yawned in the door way. His eyes blood shot. I walked up, but I went through him. He looked different. Weak and drained. “Derrick, I know you are here. You’ve killed Luna and Amy so just get it over with,” he muttered darkly staring at the closet. Derrick appeared.
“So soon?” he asked.
“Get it over with,” he said looking down.
“You know as well as I do I prefer to play with my prey,” he said. Jake’s eyes opened wide and he screamed in pain falling to his knees. I saw every vein in him from tensing up from the pain he brought on Jake.
“Jake!” I screamed.
“There is nothing you can do Amy you were being bad and you’re going to force this upon him, and I thought you loved him,” Derrick said shaking his head.
“Yeah! I thought you loved me!” Jake yelled in pain.
“I do!” I said.
“Then why must you make me suffer this? Why?!” he yelled.
I woke up screaming. Sweat going down my face.

We were teleported outside a scary looking forest. I felt my skin crawl as I saw the dense dead trees. “We have to walk now. We don’t know how long, what we will face, but this is where Amy is,” Anna said.
I looked at my brothers determined and worried face. I gulped looking into the trees. Memories flooded back. I saw myself, only seven, really mad at my brother for embarrassing me in front of my friends. I ran away and ended up here. I remembered hearing howling and I felt skeletons grab my legs from below. I saw Derrick wandering through the forest and he heard my screaming and he looked at me.
“Hello child,” he said looking at me, watching me get my pink dress muddy. I kept trying to get away from the skeleton arm that held onto my leg pulling me into the ground. “Need some help?” he asked watching me.
I nodded quickly and he picked me up and walked out of there. He walked me to his stone house, which was two stories high, with a wooden porch. “You will be safe here,” he whispered. I was so scared at the moment knowing I could have been killed. He was strong to been able to carry me, even if I was young. He set me down on his porch looking into my eyes.
“Now, what were you doing in the evil forest alone?” he asked his hand stroking my long bright blonde hair. I looked at his red skin I always referred to him as “The Red Man”.
“I ran away because, my brother embarrassed me because, his stronger and cuter and everyone pays more attention to him and not me. Some how he is smarter and faster,” I said.
“Well how old is he?” he asked me holding my chin up still stroking my hair.
“Two years old,” I sobbed.
He looked shocked. “Well that’s young. My name is Derrick by the way. And yours?” Derrick asked.
“Luna,” I said.
“I see,” he said his eyes soft. “You should be proud of your little brother.”
“Yeah I know I should,” I said pulling my legs up and hugging them looking at the forest. He stopped stroking my hair and pulled my chin up again and made me look into his red eyes.
“I will take you home, and if you need me close your eyes and think of me and I’ll be there for you,” he whispered softly.
I smiled and nodded.
“Luna!” Jake yelled my name and forced me out of my memories, “lets go!”
I followed. “How could he be evil? He seemed so nice then. So harmless,” I thought. “How could he be evil?”

I stood outside the cage. After my dream he pulled me out and kissed me. He kissed my neck and all over my face. I realized that when he kissed me he enjoyed how freaked I was and he was draining more of my energy with every kiss. He got mad when I tried to get away. Then he said, “since you won’t let me kiss you and be good you have to fight me. If you don’t you die and so does Jake.”
I gulped when he said that and now I stood there while he looked at me. I tried to fight him, but my energy was pretty much gone. All the energy I had left just let me stand. He ran and hit me in the stomach. I hit the wall and gasped the air knocked out of my lungs and blood came out of my mouth. “His pure evil.. He could never of been nice,” I thought looking at his evil grin watching me with his cold eyes that was colder then a ice age and I wandered if he wanted to if he could make a ice age with just his eyes.
“Fight me weakling!” he yelled running at me and bashing into my chest I coughed up more blood and he smiled.
Derrick’s evil
“So weak,” he smiled looking at the blood I was coughing up. “So defenseless. You couldn’t protect Jake at all could you?” he asked trying to provoke me.
“I can,” I said through gasps of air.
“Really? Well there must be weak enemies. Or Jake must be protecting himself annoyed how pathetic you are. How weak you are. You can turn into a cat, so what? It’s a stupid ability used by the weakest of the weak,” he whispered in my ear.
I growled angrily. I got up and punched him and he grabbed my wrist and twisted it down breaking it. I screamed in pain and he dropped me. He closed his eyes smiling again as more pain shot through me as he absorbed my power making me weaker. “Your energy and power is above normal and it pleases me so much that you came to sacrifice yourself to me,” he said softly. He leaned down when I managed to sit up. He stroked my hair enjoying my shaking when he did.
I growled and head butt him away. He gasped from the sudden hit and stumbled backwards and I managed to get up. He swiftly managed to keep his balance. Then he grabbed my arm I healed my wrist quickly. “Your energy levels never failed to surprise me,” he whispered. He closed his eyes again and smiled as I screamed in pain when he absorbed my remaining energy.
He let go as the basement door opened. I fell to the ground gasping and shaking. I looked up through my hair at Anna, Jake, and Luna. “Anna you are too kind. You know I only need one sacrifice, but since you went through the trouble…” he said. I knew what he was going to do and liked I guessed Jake and Luna started screaming in pain.
“Stop!” Anna yelled, and he did and Jake and Luna stayed standing not completely drained. “I won’t let you hurt them!”
“I see why, they are useless to me,” he said. He stepped on my back when I tried to get up.
Jake growled. “Get away from her!” he yelled.
Suddenly pain shot through me when Jake moved forward I screamed. “Get closer see how much pain she feels. Anyone get closer. Its fun when she screams,” he said.
They all stayed back. I gasped for air. Suddenly Jake and Anna screamed as he absorbed their energy. They both fell to the ground. Derrick moved to Luna. She gulped and moved back. “Nice to see you two Luna. This your embarrassing little brother?” he asked looking down at Jake.
“Hello again Derrick,” she said through gritted teeth.
“Well it looks like someone went to liking me to hating me, even after all I’ve done for you,” he shook his head tssking.
“What are you talking about?” Jake asked struggling to get up.
“She didn’t tell you?” he asked.
“Nothing!” she said hurriedly fear in her voice.
He laughed at her desperation to quiet him. “I’ve known you Luna for what? Pretty much your whole life since you were seven?” he asked. Jake looked shocked. He stroked her hair and she moved back into the door. “You had brighter hair when I saved you didn’t you? Then again every time you called me to you your hair seemed to losing its bright colors.”
“Shut up!” she yelled.
I felt the energy returning. I slowly got up and I saw he was smiling. I blasted him and Derrick and Luna both fell down off the steps. He narrowed his eyes at me. I backed up. “You and your high energy levels. It returns so fast. They seem to get higher and come back faster the longer I let you live. Maybe you should die now,” he whispered. Jake got up and he closed his eyes.
Jake screamed in pain and fell off the stairs to the ground by his leg. He opened his dark cold eyes and hit me in the stomach. I coughed up blood and he absorbed my energy again. I fell next to Jake when he was done and lost consciousness.

I looked at Derrick. He was too powerful. He looked at me. I got up and he grabbed my arm. “Luna you didn’t tell your brother where your powers came from? Who saved your life when you were seven, nine, fourteen, and seventeen? Who taught you how to fight or who you almost forced to kill him?” he asked. I heard gasps. I felt tears roll down my cheeks and I saw his smile grow bigger from the sudden surprise in the room.
“Luna…” Jake said surprised, “is that true?”
“Yes,” I whispered, “when you stole and broke my stuff so much I got so mad, so when you were four I begged him to.”
“Good thing I refused isn’t it?” he chuckled. Jake didn’t look at me still shocked he looked at Amy instead. Suddenly pain shot through me until my energy was gone. I fell to the floor gasping. “His turning people against me to let our energy come back so he can get stronger off of us,” I realized.

I looked at Amy she started to wake. I laid next to her on the ground. I reached out and grabbed her hand. “We have the traitor over here, on the steps while the evil big sister lays there in front of the staircase, the pathetic kitten over there next to the baby brother,” he said walking around us making nicknames to make us mad. Suddenly I was moved away from Amy. He picked me up and punched me in the stomach and I landed in the middle of the room on my back.
He looked down at Amy when I started to get up. “You hurt one hair on her your dead!” I yelled.
“Really now?” he asked. He smiled at my angry expression and kneeled down and grabbed Amy by her hair and forced her up she grabbed her hair in pain.
I got up to run at him, but pain shot through me keeping me down on my back only able to see from pushing on the floor with my arms. Shaky I looked at him. “So will you really kill me if I did this?” he asked kissing her on the lips.
Anger shot through my veins. My energy was gone, but anger replaced it. I got up. I ran at him and when I was only fifteen inches away Amy screamed in pain. Her scream echoed off the walls. He let go and she fell to her knees her arms stretched out
