No Regard, Carolyn Barber [phonics reader .TXT] 📗

smiled, "Mom, I'm not here to jog, I'm here to tell you I love you and I miss you." Her mom opened her eyes, tears immediately swelling in them, "Oh Silvie! I'm dreaming aren't I?" she said reaching out to me. I knelt down and held her hand, we hugged each other long and hard, both crying from overwhelming happiness. "Mom, I came to tell you that everything is going to be alright, I know you're hurting, but you'll find your way, mine and daddy's love will get you through." I released my mother and stood up, "I'll come back from time to time to check in on you. I want you to live a good life mama, please mama, do it for me" Reese looking up at her daughter said, "You look so beautiful Sil, I miss you so damn much, I wish this wasn't a dream." I smiled gently at my mother, "Lay down mom, I'll tuck you in like I used to." Reese laid her head back down on the pillow as Silvia tucked the sheets up under her mothers chin, she bent down and kissed her mom's cheek. "I love you mom", Sil said with tears in her eyes. Reese closed her eyes, "I love you too Baby-girl, see you in the morning." I knew my mom wasn't fully awake, and that was how it needed to be. I knew I had to keep it brief before reality could set in. I closed the door to my mother's room, and quietly detoured to my old room. As I looked around a harsh reality set in, I was no longer the innocent girl that once occupied this room. Everything about it was a contrast to my life now. Before exiting, I looked down next to my bed, I picked up what had caught my eye and left my old room.

I made my way down the stairs to Ty who was waiting for me. I placed the item I had taken from my room and placed it on the bottom step then I  looked up at Ty as he held out his hand, I took it and we were gone. 

 

Chapter 12: Hell's Pit

Silvia and Ty stood outside of a dark, sinister looking building adorned with gargoyle statues with glowing eyes that emulated guards on each side of massive wooden doors with a large iron rings as a handles. A faint boom of a deep bass rhythm could be heard coming from behind the closed heavy doors. I turned to Ty, "Music? Ty are you taking me dancing?" A sexy smile came across his face, "I thought you could use a little night out on the town!" I loved to dance, he knew me well enough to know that if I went home I would just have a little pity-party with myself, I needed to get my mind off my mother's grief." I leaned over and kissed his cheek. "Thanks baby!" He hooked his arm around mine and escorted me across the street, we climbed up the gray, stone steps that were covered with a red carpet. The music getting louder with each step closer, he reached for the iron ring and pulled the door open, the music raging, the beat hard and fast. I could feel it vibrating through my bones. I grabbed his hand and pushed through the crowd to the center of the dance floor. The whole room was alive with people bumping and grinding to the beat that seemed to be seducing everyone. I found myself intoxicated with passion and lust. Ty rubbed himself against me from behind, wrapping his arms tightly around my waist matching my rhythm as we came as close as we could to having sex, without actually having it.

One song, became another, and then another, I began to feel dizzy. Ty sensed this and took my hand leading me to the bar. "Two loaded "O" Positive's" he said to the bartender as he held up his hand signaling with two fingers. "What kind of place is this Ty? Where are we?" I asked him wearily. He took the two small vials from the bartender and handed me one. "It's called "Hell's Pit", it's in a small province that was deemed condemned after a nuclear accident that occurred a while back. Nothing alive comes here, so here we are. Bottoms up!" he answered. We clinked our vials together and in one gulp consumed the shot of rich, crimson blood. I instantly felt better. In fact I hadn't felt this good in a long time. My energy skyrocketed. I felt a clarity I had never experienced. Suddenly an awareness washed over me and I felt eyes penetrating me from behind. I looked at Ty, confused, his face lost all expression, except his eyes they had turned black and grew into slits of intensity focusing on whatever presence I felt behind me. I slowly turned my head.

Chapter 13: The Confrontation

I turned to see a face I recognized back when I was alive. Adam Jennings. We had gone to the same school together, though he was two grades ahead of me. We were good friends until he wanted more than that, I was sophomore, he was a senior. I wasn't wanting to take our relationship to the level he wanted and had to sever the friendship which broke his heart. Had I not met Ty, I would have considered being his girlfriend. I was sad that we lost our friendship and even sadder when I learned he had moved away.  I often thought about him, I even had dreams about him over the years and I always wondered what had become of him. Now he stood here before me, sharing the same thirst for blood as I, and by the look on his face, blood wasn't his only thirst. 

"Hello Silvia" he said with a certain sadness. I felt uncomfortable, but tried not to let it show. "Hello Adam, have you met my boyfriend Ty?" They stared each other down, neither saying a word. It felt too awkward, something was wrong, the tension between the two was intense. Finally Adam's gaze turned to me as it did his expression softened. "I'm glad to see you Silvie, but I'm sorry to see you here" Adam said, then he looked back at Ty, "Your selfishness knows no boundries, does it? You piece of shit!" Adam said with venom in his voice. I looked at Ty not understanding what Adam meant by that comment. Ty stepped in front of me, shielding me from Adam, "I know what you want Adam, you're not getting her, she belongs to me." I held onto Ty's arms firmly, I could feel how tense his muscles were, he was expecting a battle. Adam laughed, "You think you can stop me? You don't deserve her. Give it up Ty, you're no match for me, I killed you once, if it weren't for Silvia, I would annihilate you here and now!" Adam retorted. Adam and Ty were about the same height, Adam had a stalkier build, maybe twenty pounds more muscle mass than Ty. I knew Ty had incredible strength but I recalled Adam was a star-athlete back in high school. I was worried. Especially since I had just learned Adam was the one who had murdered Ty. 

In a flash Ty grabbed Adam by his throat sending them both shooting threw the crowd, Adam's back slammed into the cement wall causing chunks to explode everywhere, Ty's grip still on Adams throat. Suddenly Adam disappeared, only to materialize behind Ty. He kicked Ty completely through what was left of the wall. The crowd was parted like the Red Sea, Adam turned, facing me, he walked toward me swiftly, while everything else seemed to be in slow motion, the only sound I could hear was my own rapid breath. He came closer and closer, his head down, his eyes black with intensity burning into mine, I was paralyzed. He reached his hand out, about to grab me, when suddenly the music blasted, causing me to jump and cover my ears, at that same moment Ty grabbed him by the shoulders and pulled him back from me, Ty looked at me, "Go!" he yelled. I couldn't leave Ty behind, I had to do something, in one swift motion I hiked-up my dress and kicked Adam in the face as hard as I could. His head jolted backwards slightly, only to stare back at me with a smile on his face. "Very impressive my dear!" he said and then he grabbed Ty who still had a hold of him and flipped him over his head into the air across the bar shattering bottles of blood. I  watched in horror as Ty lay covered in blood, I turned to Adam just as he lunged for me. Everything went black. 

 

Chapter 14: Captivity

My thoughts came to me before I opened my eyes, partially because I was afraid to open them for fear of what I might see. My first thoughts were of Ty, I knew he would recover from the confrontation with Adam, but he will drive himself to madness worrying about me. He'll find me, I know he will. I have to stay strong, be smart, soon my love, we'll be back together soon. I slowly began to open my eyes. The room was dim yet glowing at the same time, flickering shadows hid much of it but I could tell it was very lavish and modern. I was still in my light blue gown, though my shoes were removed, I was grateful that was the only thing removed. The bed was high off the ground and massive. An ivory damask comforter covering it. It was a beautiful
