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

edge and soon she was falling. I jumped off the branch. The air flew pasted me. It felt cold and warm at the same time. I soon landed on the ground.
"Josh?" Ashley asked after a few minutes of walking.
"What?" I asked as I came to a stop. "I think we're lost." Ashley said unhappily. I looked around. Everything looked the same. The trees were all aspen or oak. I started felling dizzy, and think how bad this was. Ivy could be hunting us and she'd know this place better. We use to stand a chance but look at us now; we might as well be on a silver platter. I start to worry. I tapped the earpiece in my ear.
"Stephanie." I said. Ashley came close to me, and nodded gratefully. It didn't make me think about our dangers. Could I really trust Stephanie? Too late to turn back now.
"Hello?" A girl said on the other line.
"Hi, I need some help." I said into the earpiece.
"What's your name? But more importantly. How'd you get this number?" She growled through the phone line.
"My names Josh, and Renee told me...." I said as I questioned myself. Why would she help me? Would she even believe me? Could I trust her. She didn't seem like the person I wanted to meet.
"I'll be there soon." Stephanie said as she hung up. How did she know where we were? "Who cares?" Ashley said from behind me. I spun around on my heels to get a better look at her.
"How'd you know what I was thinking!?" I asked astonished. She shrugged.
"I don't know I just looked at you, and it was like being inside your head." She said as if I didn't matter. I smiled at her. I was hoped she would have some kind of greater gift than she already did.
"We have to stay here." I told Ashley.
"Why?" she asked as she turned around.
"Stephanie will be coming for us soon." I said quietly.
"Fine. I'm tried anyway." Ashley said as if she'd been brought up in a country home. "Shut and get some sleep." I barked at her. She did as I told her. She lowered herself to the floor, and lay on the ground. I did as well hoping to catch some sleep. My eye lids felt heavy so i let them fall over my eyes and soon i was dreaming.


I was in a kitchen. "Have a seat, Josh" A dark voice said. I Looked hard into the shadows. Trying to see the figure that lurked there.
"Who says?" I asked. Nick took a long step out of the shadows.
"Have a seat, Josh. Renee wants to speak with you." He said coldly. I did as I was told. The two blondes I had dreamt of earlier came out of the shadows. Nick circled around the chair I was in.
"Who's Renee?" I asked intently. I had forgotten.
"She's the girl we were with in your past dream." Nick sighed.
"Don't betray your own kind." Caleb said coldly.
"I would never do something like that!" I weakly and tried to defend myself.
"But you would for Ashley." Nick said from behind me. I nodded slowly.
"Don't or you'll kill us all." Tye blurted out. I nodded again.
"We've see your future. You kill Renee, and run off with your sister. You killed our savior, and left us to die." Nick hissed.
"I wouldn't kill her!" I said angrily.
"You would." Tye said coldly.
"No." I said as I jerked my head in his direction.
"Yes, you would." Caleb snapped.
"No..." I said as I shook my head. I stood up, and felt all there eyes on me as I darted for the door. It led to the living room. There I saw the most horrific thing in my life! Ashley laid dead on the floor with Renee standing over her. A pool of blood surrounded my sister.
"I'll kill you!" I growled at her. Suddenly, I felt two strong hands grab me from behind. I felt a knife go to my throat.
"Never threaten her!" Nick growled. I felt the knife go into my skin. He applied pressure to the knife. It went deeper and deeper. I felt no pain. None at all... it was as if I couldn't feel pain. I felt the blood go down my neck. I started to cough. The blood was dripping from the inside of my neck and into my lungs. I collapsed onto the floor as I coughed trying desperately trying to get air into my lungs. I fought for a breath of air when Renee stepped over me.
Her long hair slung off her shoulder, and into my eyes as she knelt over me. I looked into her dark, brown eyes. They screamed anger, and hate. Why!? Why had she killed Ashley? Her hands had blood on them.
I looked toward Ashley. She was gone, no doubt in my mind. My poor little sister was gone from this world. Would there be a heaven for those like us? A heaven for vampires? No... death was death... we already belonged to the dark. We could never go into the light, anyway's.
Renee twisted the knife in my throat. I felt the pain. It screamed through me as I was being tared apart. Why? I mouthed.
"Change... is always better." Renee said as she stood up. She turned around as I began to spit up blood. "Like her fate," Renee said pointing to Ashley."This is your's." She flung a knife from her sleeve. It flew across the few feet between us, and into my chest.
"No." I said as I reached up to the knife.
"You could have been the one, Josh." She said as she walked back to me. She tilted her head, and looked at me oddly.
"A warning." She said as if mocking me. I took a deep breath, and pulled the knife out slowly. I felt it slice through me as it came out as if my skin had grown around it. Could I hit her with the knife?
I lifted the knife, and gave it a weak toss at her. It would have hit her. It would have but the area where her heart was faded into nothingness. Then she fade back into reality. She looked at me angrily.
"You try to kill me even though you have already lost the war. You give yourself to death because you think I killed her?" She asked me.
I looked at her blankly. Of course she killed her! Look at her, her hands are drenched in Ashley's blood! I started to get up. I couldn't and fell back to the ground, the pain to strong to move a muscle.
"You killed her." I growled.
"No, I didn't" She said as she walked away from me. She walked out of the room from the way I had come. There was a sudden movement from the corner of the room. A girl stepped out of the shadows. I heard the door shut after Renee.
"I killed her." The girl said. My body wrenched with anger as I struggled to sit up. Instead of sitting, I flew to my feet. I clutched my stab wound as I struggled to take a step toward the boy.


Chapter 2. Memories (Renee)
I stopped and looked back. I could no longer see my attacker just trees and dense forest. I sighed and bent over. My hair draped over my shoulders, and in front of my face as I took long heaving breathes. I looked at my feet as I caught my breath. The dry leaves crunched under my feet. The beautiful orange and red hues ranged from dark to light around me.
"Thought you could get away from me?" A deep husky voice said in front of me. I jolted my body up. A pale white man stood in front of me. He was a tall man, around five foot eleven. He was dressed in a black suit. I gulped as I sized him up. I could never take on someone his size. I was only a mere five foot five. His hair was a dark red. His eyes a piercing yellow.
"Get away from me!" I hissed as I spun around on my heels. I took one long stride away from the man. I felt his hands in twine in my hair and yank back. I lost my balance and fell backwards. He dangled me by my hair in front of him. He tightened his grip in my hair and lifted me into the air. I stopped struggling, I knew it would only make it worse.
"Remember you came for me." The man said angrily. "It's not fun when the hunted fights back, is it?" He spit the question in my face as he drew me closer to him. I looked at his face and moved my hand slowly to the small of my back. I felt the smooth holder of the knife. It was warm from being close to my skin. I slowly wrapped my hand around the handle of the knife.
"Well answer me!" He shouted and shook me violently. I screamed in pain. He laughed at my squeal for help. I quickly took the knife out of the holder and sliced the mans side. He hissed in anger and released my hair to clutch his side.
I fell to the floor and quickly got to my feet. The man swung his arm at me. I dodge it and fled from him. I raced away, moving swiftly in between the trees. I carefully placed my feet around the roots and broken branches taking the effort to make sure I didn't fall. I misplaced my footing and slipped on the leaves of the oaks that surrounded me. I flew into the leaves, running in sneaker in the dense forest not so good. I tried to regain my footing, hoping I would still have a chance to get away. My hope was destroyed as the man darted in front of me.
"You still think you can run away from me!?" He hissed as he grabbed me by my neck and lifted me into the air. "How dare you stab me!?" He growled as he pinned me by my neck to a tree nearby.
I gasped for air.
"You stupid child!" He spit in my face as he clenched his fist tighter. I started to struggle. If I passed out I would become his meal or worse one of him!
I wrapped my hands around his trying to pry them away from my throat dropping the knife in the process . I stopped twisting my body and kicked his gut. He laughed. I pushed on his rock hard body to push me closer to the tree. For a second his grip loosened just enough for me to get away. I twisted my neck to loosen it more. I slipped away from him and fell to the floor. I kicked the back of the mans knee. He fell to the floor.
I scrambled to find the knife. In pure panic my hands fumbled through the dead leaves as I look for the knife. My hand connected with a metal, slightly cutting open my palm. I grasped it tightly and lifted it out of the
