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

/>             “Wow.” Nickolas said noting how it only took a few minutes for me to become my full vampiric self.
            I stayed still for a minute knowing what came next. The thirst for blood. I was a newborn again. I needed blood and would do anything for it.
            “Blood?” I asked before I needed it.
            “Oh,” Nickolas said walking into the other room “AB positive or negative?” He asked.
            “Whatever you got is fine just hurry up!” I begged as the thirst began to make itself known.
            “Renee,” Josh said as he looked at me from where he sat. “You’re going to be okay?” He asked noticing my impatience.
            “Yeah.” I said thinking of the taste of blood and how it had been sour and warm. I preferred animals, but human’s blood was considered better for a newborn.
            Nickolas came in with a three blood bags and tossed me one. I grabbed it. The blood was warm. I could feel it through the bag. I sank my teeth into it and drank happily.
The blood filled my mouth and ran down my tongue. It swished in my mouth and touched every taste bud on my tongue. The blood was warm and salty. The salt and sour taste stung my nose as the last drops in the bag went down my throat.
“Drink up.” Nickolas encouraged handing me another bag. “You have to be full to resist a human.” I nodded and tossed the empty bag to the floor.
I sank my teeth into the next bag. It was a little sweeter than the last. The blood filled me up giving me the impression of stuffed. I knew I could drink more though. I discarded the bag and drank the next Nickolas gave me. The blood filled me and thrust aside the need for blood. I could last at least three days on what Nickolas had given me.
“What now?” I asked as I wiped the last beads of blood away from my mouth.
“We have to wait for Ivy.” Nickolas answered me. “Let’s get changed first though.” He said looking at my clothing. My jacket, shirt, and jeans were smeared with blood.
“Messy eater, huh?” Josh laughed as he got up and walked over to us.
“Yeah,” I said shyly. “I just haven’t gotten use to eating though.” I said as I took off the jacket.
“Sure.” Nickolas said. “Come on.” He said as he went though the doorway and into what seemed like a kitchen. Josh and I followed him. He left the dusty kitchen, and into a bedroom. Josh and I trailed behind him. The room was just as dusty as the rest of the house.
“This is your house.” I said recalling when I had been taken away and dropped into a meadow. Nickolas and I had come here. He said it was his house.
“Yeah.” Nickolas said as he rummaged through an old trunk. “I need to dust.” He laughed. “Ah ha!” He said as he pulled out a pair of jeans and a green t-shirt. “Perfect for me. You guys are welcome to take anything you like.”
Josh and I nodded as Nickolas left the room to get dressed. Josh poked through the trunk and pulled out a pair of jeans and a black shirt. I smiled at him as he left. I knelt beside the truck. Hopefully there was something in here that would fit me.
I looked in the big trunk and shoved some clothes around until I got close to the bottom. I found a black female shirt. I grabbed it, and found a pair of jeans that looked like they could fit me.
I shut the door so I could get dressed. I undressed and quickly put the shirt and jeans on. On the night stand in the room was a dark red ribbon. I walked over to it and grasped it in my hand. I felt the cool fabric between my fingers. My body temperature was beginning to drop.
            I pulled my hair back and tied the ribbon in my hair. I found a piece of glass on the floor and grabbed it so I could look at my reflection.
            My dark brown hair with blonde highlights was loosely pulled back and my skin was almost an eggshell white. It was dark enough so I looked like a human, but it was a lot lighter than I remembered. My facial features were the same, but they looked sharper and stood out more now.
            A knock came from the door followed by Nickolas’s voice, “Are you done changing?”
            “Yes.” I answered as I dropped the glass and opened the door.
            “Great.” Nickolas said as he grabbed my shoulder. “You should get some rest. Don’t want to be tired tomorrow.” He said as he showed me the way to another bedroom. There was a bed below a window. It was a little cleaner than the house.
            “Thanks.” I said as I sat on the bed.
            “No problem.” He said as he closed the door behind him as he left.
            I sank to the bed and laid my head on one of the pillows. I could use some sleep. I closed my eyes as fatigue took over me. Soon I was fast asleep.
I woke up to the sound of Ivy’s voice.
"Get up!" She barked. I jolted out of bed and was face to face with a knife.
"What are you doing!?" I yelled at her and pushed Ivy off me. She fell to the floor with a bang!
"You have an hour to get to the trail where you'll see them." Ivy growled looking at a watch. "Hurry up!"
"Where's the trail?" I asked yawning. I was still tried. I was a newborn. It was okay to get tired now and then.

“Look they’re coming here.” Ivy said coldly. “You can’t be here when they get here. Raven will know. After I send you on your way I can’t help you anymore.” She said tossing a back pack at me.
            “Why not?” I asked as I began to open it. Ivy smacked my hand so I couldn’t look in the backpack.
            “Don’t open it until you press that button. Don’t you have it? That one I left you in your room a while back ago.” She asked. I hit my head. I had left it in my room.
            “I don’t have it.” I said sadly.
            “Oh, well.” Ivy growled as she tossed me a folded piece of paper. “You are going to need this and a pencil.” She said as she pulled a pencil out of her pocket.
            “Why?” I asked as I took it and put it in the back pack.
            “You’ll know why.” She said as she grabbed my hand. “I’ll take you to the trail and that’s it.” She transported us.
            “Where am I?” I asked as I stumbled into some bushes.
            “You’re about fifteen miles from the house. Keep a human pace or Raven will know something is up and stay on the trail! No matter what! Good luck.” She said as she disappeared.
            I looked up. The sun was almost in the center of the sky. I was in a dead meadow. The meadow was full of dead grass and wilted flowers that had died in the sun.
            “Great.” I muttered to myself as I looked around for a trail. I couldn’t see any. I looked at the forest line. I wondered if there was a trail there. I began walking to the forest line making sure to keep a human pace.
            “Ivy,” I mumbled to myself. “I hate you.” Even if she couldn’t hear, I didn’t care. It felt good to say it.
            I was half way to the forest line when my foot hit dirt. I looked down. It was a trail! I smiled to myself as I began to walk down the trail. I slung the backpack across my shoulder and started my trek for my future.
I didn't become to worried until I reached the forest part. The trail went into the forest. I could swear I was hearing things. I think my mind was slipping. I realize it was real.
"Daniel." A voice said sweetly a distance away. My heart began racing as I walked down the dirt path. Long thick grass lined the path. The sun shined harshly down on the grass giving it a dull yellow coloring to it. My bare feet were covered in the dust from the trail.
"Swear to god; if she's wrong, I'll kill her." I growled to myself as I stubbed my foot against an uprooted root. There were millions of trees around me. I found it odd that the trees that surrounded the path were far enough to let sun rays fall onto the path.
"Come," The voice said getting fainter. The voice was coming off to my left. I knew I'd never make it if I kept following the path. I'm sorry, I thought as my feet shifted from the dirt to the soft warm grass.
I raced through the sunlit grass towards the shadows of the forest. The grass licked my feet and stung my ankles as I darted in between the trees. The darkness of the forest engulfed me. I felt my way from tree to tree. I pushed past branches. I let the voice guide me.
"Hurry." The female voice said soothingly a little louder. I saw a glimmer of sunlight. I began to run to it. My feet worked in harmony as I made my way to the light. It got brighter and brighter. I finally pushed through the last branches. What I saw amazed me.
It was a deep valley. There was a stream that cut through the valley. I didn't recognize it. Where was I? The top of wheeler creek? The trees climbed up the sides of the mountains. The amazing site was the people twenty feet below me.
Daniel and Raven were standing in a small meadow. Daniel was following her. Raven was wearing a black cloak that hid her clothes. Daniel was dressed in jeans and a red t-shirt. He was following her like a puppy.
I stopped and began to think. Why was I trying to rescue this guy? I was going to give everything up for him? A human? Why on earth would I need him?
My mind paused. I need his help. He was going to shape my future. I stared down at the Daniel and Raven. She was so bent on destroying my future. All the vampires futures that had gone against her. I wanted to free us. I could do it. I knew I could. I decided that I'd have to risk anything and everything to help him survive. Even if I could never feel the sun beating on my back or the warmth of another person's touch. I was going to help. I vowed, I'd do it all for other's future.
"Daniel." I sighed and sat down on the ground. I was too late. My hopes sank as Raven and he disappeared into the forest. My future was over. I watched the valley as I realized my life was over. I couldn't help now. .Y time was up.
"Pathetic." Someone said behind me. I didn't bother looking. I already knew who it was.
"I failed, Ivy." I said still looking to where they had disappeared to. She sat beside me and wrapped her arm around my shoulder. I couldn't feel her coldness. My body was numb from taking the drug.
"You didn't fail." She cooed. "There's still time." She sighed and got up. I laid back on the floor
