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

I smiled at her as I held the lever. Nickolas clapped jokingly.
            “Great job.” He said smiling at me.
“Thanks.” I said as a breeze of cold wind flew into my face.
“That canyon has strong gusts.” Ivy noted as her hair went flying out of her face.
“Yeah,” Nickolas noted as he leaned over the roof edge. “You didn’t break the window.” He said as he sat up. “That’s great, but we only have five minutes until midnight.” I hadn’t noticed the time. It really went fast.
“Let me prep you first.” Ivy said as she pulled something out of her pocket. “We have exactly one minute to put the blindfold on her.” She showed us the black blindfold. “We have to get her downstairs, and out of the house before Raven gets here. So, there will be four minutes after we get the blindfold on her. At exactly twelve o’ five, Raven will bust through the front door, and run up the stairs to kill Renee in her sleep.”
“Why does Raven want to kill Renee?” I asked a little concerned.
“If Renee finds out her potential, she’ll over rule Kayla and Raven. To Raven this is the only way of maintaining her rein.” Ivy answered my question. “She has to find some guy, and then, everything will be revealed to her.” She shrugged. “Least that was my dream.”
“We don’t have anymore time!” Nickolas growled at Ivy. “Josh, get down stairs and unlock a door. Ivy and I will get Renee.”
Nickolas disappeared over the edge of the roof. He was followed by Ivy. I leaned over the roof edge and climbed into the room.
I hope this works, I thought to myself as I disappeared into the room.
   


        


 


Chapter 10. Decision (Renee)
"Shh." A voice said sweetly in my ear. My eyes opened to only be covered with a clothe. "We can't let you see us. I am so sorry for this, Renee." A familiar voice said.
"Ivy," I said with emotion filling my throat. "What's going on?"
"Shh." Ivy said as she made me sit up. "We have to take you away."
"Raven's on her way." Nickolas said. He was a few feet away.
"Renee," Ivy said pulling on my shoulder. "Stand up." I did as I was told. I sat up and slung my feet across the bed. I stood up and tried to steady myself.
"She's on South Weber Drive!" Nickolas said uneasily.
"How do you know?" I asked putting on a jacket that Ivy had tossed at me.
"We just do." Nickolas said uneasily. "Hurry up!" Ivy grabbed my wrist and pulled me off the bed. She dragged me through the short room from the door to and out into the hall.
"Where are we going!?" I cried as my foot hit the banister.
"Shut up!" Ivy hissed at me and hit my shoulder. It felt like I was going to loose my arm. Like it was going to fall off.
"Ow!" I cried as she pulled me down the stairs. I stumbled and fell. Ivy grabbed my shoulder keeping me level as she dragged me down the stairs.
"Renee," Nickolas said grabbing my arm." This is only what's best for you." He said making sure I was okay.
"Take off the clothe, and I'll come willingly." I said and tried to make them let go of me. I guess it made sense to them because Ivy took the clothe off of my eyes.
I blinked my eyes. There was no light. I couldn't see anything.
"What time is it?" I asked trying to figure out where I was.
"Midnight." Ivy said as she grabbed my arm and pulled me down another flight of stairs. She made me take a right and opened a door. Moonlight poured into the room. Ivy pushed me in front of her. I stepped out into the moonlit yard and right into someone's arms.
"Renee!" Josh said excitedly as he squeezed the life out of me.
"Let go!" I cried as it became hard to breathe. I couldn’t feel my arms. The air in my body was being squeezed out of my lungs. It hurt to try and take a breath. The air left my body easily, but it was hard to get it back in.
            He released me and shied away. “I’m sorry.” He said sorely.
            “It’s okay.” I said taking a deep breath.
            “Nickolas,” Ivy said as she came out of the house. “Get her out of her.” Nickolas came out of the house and grabbed my hand.
            “Hang on tight.” He warned me. I did. I held onto his hand. I kept my eyes open. Big mistake on my part. To others it looked like we disappeared, but it felt a lot worse as a human than it had as a vampire.
            My body was moving faster than it ever had. My particles were moving so fast it began to make me sick. When we got to our destination, my body jolted to a stop. My feet fell out from under me, and my head was spinning as I smacked into the floor.
            “Renee!” Nickolas said almost laughing. “Are you okay?” He began to laugh. I guess the look I gave him told him I wasn’t okay because he shut up and tried to help me up. I sat up and looked around me. We were in a small dusty room.
            “Why am I here?” I said almost vomiting.
            “Because,” Ivy said as she appeared in front of us with Josh. “You’re in danger.”
            “Why would I be in danger?” I asked. “I’m human!” I was a little outraged I had been refused my first good night sleep of being human.
            “Raven doesn’t care if you’re human or not.” Nickolas said as he left the room.
            “I’m no threat.” I sighed as I leaned against the wall.
            “You are.” Ivy said as she sat on the other end of the room. “You can be changed back.”
            “I don’t want to be.” I told her not sure if I meant the words.
            “Renee,” Josh sighed as he sat beside me. “You’re our only hope.”
            “Hope for what? Peace among human?” I asked stupidly.
            “No.” Ivy glared at me.
“Then what can I be used for?” I asked. “If I’m only a human.”
            “We don’t want you as a human.” Ivy said as she crossed the room. I looked at her nervously.
            “You can stay human for now, but you have to come back.” Ivy told me as she sat on the opposite side that Josh was sitting on.
            “But what about find the guy?” I asked still remembering Ivy’s vision.
            “I think I know who he is. It seems you’ve already met him.” Ivy said as her eyes went grey. “Have you met any guy’s since you left the hospital?” Ivy asked as she stared into space.
            “Only Daniel.” I said as I watched her closely.
            “Daniel?” Ivy asked. I nodded knowing she was talking to herself. “He has brown hair?” She asked me.
            “Yes.” I said remembering his features.
            “And was there something odd about him?” She asked with her eyes still dazed.
            “Yes.” I said not really looking at her anymore.
“We made a mistake.” Ivy said as her eyes turned back to the cold brown I knew and somewhat loved.
            “Mistake?” I asked her. What mistake could she possibly make with her ability?
            “Nickolas!” Ivy shouted not paying attention to me anymore. Nickolas came running into the room. “I didn’t see everything.” She whispered to no one in particular.
            “Yeah?” He asked as he looked to the three of us from the door way. “Something wrong?” He asked noticing that we were all fine.
            “Yes!” Ivy said in a panic. “Daniel!” She mussed. “He’s going to die if we don’t get to him. Raven knows he’s the one Renee has to look for! She knows he’s human!” She paused and looked at me.” She wasn’t after Renee! She was after him!”
            “Daniel?” Nickolas huffed. “It’s too late. It’s already twelve o’ ten.” He crossed his arms over his chest and leaned against the door frame.
            “She won’t kill him till tomorrow at noon.” Ivy said as her eyes turned grey and foggy again.
            “Where?” I asked concerned. She was just sitting there going through her thoughts. “Ivy, where!?” I shouted at her. She was far gone.
            I sat there leaning against the wall waiting for her to come out of her vision.
            “Renee,” Josh said touching my shoulder. I froze at his unearthly cold touch. “Sorry.” He muffled as he noticed the tension in my body.
            “It’s okay.” I said easily as he removed his hand from my shoulder.
            “I’m sorry about Daniel.” He said oddly. I hadn’t even known Daniel for that long, and now I was going to have to rescue him so I could have a future.
            “Don’t be everything will be fine.” I said not knowing for sure.
            “Renee?” Nickolas sighed as I stood up.
            “Yes?” I asked as I walked to where he leaned against the doorway.
            “You need to be changed ASAP so you can regain your abilities to regain possession of the human.” Nickolas said as took his hand out of his pocket. It held a syringe.
            “What is it?” I asked looking at the needle that held a clear thick liquid.
            “It’s Kayla’s venom.” Nickolas said as he placed it in my hand. I studied the needle and rolled it over in my hand.
            “How did you get it?” I asked as he put his hand back in his pocket.
            “We stole it a few years back.” Nickolas said as he stood up straight. “Vlad, and I took a supply of her venom when we broke into her prison when I was training with him.”
“Okay,” I sighed as I weighed it carefully in my hands. “Where do I inject it?” I asked as I tested the point of needle with my thumb.
“Straight into your vein. Here.” He said as he grabbed my arm and pulled up the sleeve of the jacket to reveal the vein in my right arm. He pointed to it and let go of my arm.
I nodded. I knew what I had to do. I took a deep breath and stabbed the syringe into my arm. I pressed down on the syringe releasing the venom into my vein. It would soon flow through my body. I sat down getting ready for the intense pain.
“Are you okay?” Nickolas asked as I slumped against the wall. I nodded. For now I was okay.
I relaxed and waited. It only took a few minutes before there was a strong pain in my arm. The pain shot up my arm and into my chest. It flowed through my chest and into my left arm. It shot up and down my body. I gritted my teeth against the pain as it increased.
            I gritted my teeth as the pain became almost too much to bare. I clenched my fists and I could feel my canines doubling in size. They grinded against my other teeth making them sharper and sharper to the point.
            My nails became tougher and stabbed into my palm making me bleed. The blood trickled out of my flesh and down my palms and wrists. I noticed the blood running down my arms. The wound healed up, and I licked the blood away. My skin grew paler by the second.
