All For you, R.S. Vargas [my reading book txt] 📗

There was no reply. No one answered my calls. I gave up and closed my window.
I walked away from the window and I sat on my bed fumbling with the box. What did it mean? In a war caused by sin the time will come when pain will win. What did it mean by sin? Like the ten commandments?
I sat on my bed wondering. Wondering what it all could mean. What was the button for? Why was Kayla so bent on having me for herself in the war? I knew I was a good fighter, but Nickolas was better. I wasn't very secretive compared to Ivy. I wasn't very fast compared to Stephanie or any of the wolves. I was basically a normal vampire. Except my trainer had experiment on me. I realized I was nothing like them... I was a Special. A special creation made for destruction, killing, and fighting. My mind worked faster, my body stronger, and my senses more definite. I was an awful creation.
"Was... still am." I mumbled to myself.
"You always did doubt yourself." A voice said from the shadows. I froze. Another mysterious person in my room! There was something wrong with me. I couldn't feel others auras anymore.
"Doubt. It's a stupid thing." I said nonchalantly trying to hide my fear.
"So, are you stupid?" A cloaked figure asked stepping out of the shadows. The black cloaks were the symbol of The Council. I recognized them, because I had one just like it. From my days I had been one of them, and believed they were just trying to help the mythical world be come one. At the time I didn't know they were driving it apart. I was wrong, and when I found about Kayla's plans I began the Rebellion.
"No, I'm not." I growled at the figure. The cloaks hood fell back. "Ivy?" I asked sadly. The figure nodded. I hugged her. "Did...did you see them jump out the window!?" I asked her shocked. She pushed me away.
"Your such a girl." She spit out as if the words were burning her throat. She laughed as I
looked dumbfounded at her. She laughed even hard and collapsed to the floor. I laughed at her as she got to her feet.
"You probably haven't noticed, but I am a girl." I laughed at her. I sat back onto my bed.
"Never listen to Thane." She said now meeting my eye. Then she was gone. Most likely off to some place I wouldn't care for.
I sighed and collapsed onto my bed and curled into a ball. Vampires didn't need sleep, but we could to pass time. I didn't go to sleep. I laid wake in my bed for a few hours before I decided to change into clean clothes.
I stood up, and slipped off my clothes. I rummaged though my clothes trying to find something appropriate. As a warrior, I remembered wearing my black cloak for The Council. I had seen many war leaders wear uniforms as generals. I didn't own anything like that. I searched though everything. Nothing appropriate for the meeting.
In disappointment I sat down on the floor and noticed a picture on the floor. It was half tucked under the dresser. I grabbed it. It had me in Thane's arms, and Ivy standing in front of Shane. He had his arms around her waist. It was us in a dark room with dimly lit candles. I turned over the picture in my hands. On the back read: Let the war begin.
I placed it on the dresser. I hadn't realized there was a draw I had left untouched. I eased it open. Inside was a black dress with a red lace trimming. I pulled it out. It came a few inches above my knees. I decided to put it on. It's bottom flared around my legs. Its style revealed more than I wanted to show. It didn't help that I was self-conscious of my scar. My old battle wound.
The dress was short on me. I turned and it waved around my legs. I closed the draw to see a little scrap of paper. I grabbed it. On it had a little writing. It was too sloppy for me to read it. I placed it on the dresser. I went into the bathroom to see how the dress looked on me.
It was perfect. The waist was just the right size, and the length was just long enough for me to hide a couple knives. I slipped a couple knives in the holders on my legs. I smoothed down my dress. The door bell rang. I ran out of the bathroom and down the stairs to greet my spies.
I ran for the door. When I got into the living room, they were all there except for Ivy. Kimberly and Kendalie from the witches clan, Sergio and Thane from The Wolf Den, Stephanie with no Ivy from The Council, and Nickolas and Allison from The Cut with me.
"Entering when not asked very disrespectful." I mumbled as I sat down in a chair. Everyone burst out laughing. I kept quiet. I didn't understand what was so funny.


Chapter 7. Kayla's Palace
"Oh... she's serious." Commented Kimberly when she noticed I wasn't laughing. Her voice rang though my ears. It was like a harp. Her hair framed her face well I noticed as I played with mine.
"You always told us just to walk right in if you requested a meeting." Kendalie added. Her voice was much softer than Kimberly's. It was more of a faint echo.
"She must still be regaining her memory." Nickolas said soothingly. His voice was deep and it held respect and dignity.
"I agree." Thane said happily. "She'll remember everything." He was being hopeful. I sighed.
"I remember everything that's important." I said coldly. What seemed like a frown flickered across Thane's face. I ran my hand through my hair.
"So, why exactly are we here?" Stephanie asked hastily. I glared at her. I had just come back to The Rebellion, and she was rushing things.
Nickolas cleared his throat. "She's back." He said calmly. "She's leading us, again." He smiled at me. His fangs showed and shined in the light. "Welcome our war leader home." I smiled nervously wondering what they would say.
"Welcome home." Kimberly greeted. I smiled at her. I didn't show my fangs. I knew from past experiences they made her nervous.
"It's good to see you're well." Kendalie said added. Her voice was very high pitched. It hurt my ears.
"I'm glad your back." Sergio said sincerely. I smiled at him. Stephanie looked at me distastefully. She wasn't please with me.
"I already knew you'd be back." Stephanie said coldly.
"As did I." Thane added soothingly.
"Now, that we all know she's back and leading we shall follow her commands once again, understood?"
"Understood." They all said in unison.
"While you've been gone Nickolas has been in charge." Stephanie informed me. I nodded. He seemed like a good person to take my place.
"If I would have planned for anyone to take my place it would have been him." I said approvingly.
"What do we do now?" Thane asked as he leaned forward in his seat. I looked blankly at him.
"The war." Nickolas whispered in my ear. I sighed and looked over the spies. All so hopeful for peace.
"Leave it to me. I have been in Kayla's home, and with a few of you to help I hope to take her down and get rid of her." I said simply. They were staring at me. They were either dumbstruck or speechless.
"Go over the lines? That's suicide!" Kendalie exclaimed. Her voice rang with fear. It shattered my thoughts. What could be so dangerous over the boundaries?
"I'll go myself. I just need a few people to help to get me where I need to be." I said hoping my new found plan would work.
"You left to do the same thing earlier." Kimberley stated. I nodded and shifted my weight uncomfortable.
"And now you want to go back and take some of use with you!" Kendalie added. I sighed. It sounded crazy. I had gone and failed. I couldn't expect them to follow me without questions like they would have before. I went without them, and was ambushed by my own fledglings. I had hesitated, and for that I was captured, drugged, and experimented on.
"No. Just Nickolas, Ivy, and Stephanie." I said easily. "I'll be willing to take anyone else who is willing."
"I'll go." Thane said as he stood up. I felt a smile grow on my face. I had only picked Ivy, Nickolas, and Stephanie because they were vampires. It'd be nice to have a wolf with us.
"You're all dismissed unless you're staying to help." Nickolas spoke the words with power. I smiled at him. He had become more confident that I had thought he could. Kimberly, and Kendalie left. Sergio approached me. He smiled at me, showing his dog like canines.
"I'd go, but someone has to cover for this mutt." He said jokingly referring to Thane. I nodded, and he left quickly. Thane, Nickolas, and Stephanie were sitting on the couch.
"Where's Ivy?" I asked uneasily. They shrugged.
"I'll get her." Nickolas said unpleasantly as if it was a chore no one liked to do.
"He always does." Stephanie snickered. Nick shot her a dirty look as he disappeared.
"Have any of you been to the Palace?" I asked changing the subject. Stephanie looked down and shook her head. Thane did the same.
"Look, Kayla's palace isn't that hard to understand. Living quarters are on the first floor. Meeting halls and kitchens and the garden is on the second. On the third is her sleeping quarters." I informed them. I never mentioned I had never been allowed on the third floor. I had spent most of my free time on the second floor. She never allowed me to be on the second.
"I don't understand what's on the fourth floor?" Thane asked. I looked at him. How did he know about the fourth floor?
"The experimental wing where I was held most of my time." I said quietly. They looked shocked at what I had said.
"You were held against your will!?" Thane said tentatively. I shook my head.
"I wasn't held against my will. I thought I'd stay for the treatment." I said sadly. "Kayla erased my memory, and I thought it was helping me." In fact I really did. I feel so foolish when I look back on it now.
"I'm so sorry." Stephanie said uneasily. Why would she be sorry?
"Don't be sorry." I said nonchalantly. "You didn't do that to me." It was true. She didn't, but Kayla did. Kayla had set it all up as a trap. My arrival, my departure, and now even my revenge.
"My revenge..." I trailed off. I was thinking aloud.
"What if she sees us coming?" Nickolas suddenly appeared with Ivy.
"About time you got back." Stephanie growled at him. I shook my head.
"Be quiet." I hissed at them. "We need to be one! Not bickering with each other." They were arguing with each other when they should be preparing. I needed them to think as one, be as one or my plan would never work. Never succeed against Kayla.
"Shush!" Ivy growled at me. "Nickolas's in charge!" I stared blankly at her. Nickolas had just put
