The Last Breath, Lady Myastry [speed reading book .txt] 📗

Important. Read Me!!!

"Don't let go!", I scream. "Please!" He grabs my hand tighter. "Never. I will never let go of you. Do you hear me, Demi? Never!" On that last never he pulls me to himself. I shiver with fear and he smooths my hair down. I shiver and try to relax. He looks at me, "I love y--" He doesn't have time to finish his sentence because he was too busy pulling the arrow out of his back. Once it's out, he collapses. "NO! DEREK!!!!", I scream. And then I wake up.

Chapter 1-A Memory From A Dream

I sit straight up. Drenched in sweat, as per usual. I sigh, shake my head and get up. I swear I've had that dream before. But every time I wake up the details become all blurry. The only thing I remember is somebody calling me Demi. My name's Kyla, but Demi always feels like a more perfect fit. I sigh and walk over to my bedroom mirror. I sigh and hold my hair up, trying to figure out how to wear it today. I finally decide on a messy bun type look. I twirl it and voíla! I smile at my perfect hair styling abilities. I never cease to amaze myself. I do my make-up and pucker up to kiss the mirror like always when Trevor honks outside. I  open my curtains and hold up my finger. "One minute." I say for no apparent reason. Trevor mouths back, "Hurry up." I nod and get dressed.  Then I grab my backpack and an apple. Then I run outside to the truck. I went to the passenger side to open my door, but I found it already open for me. I smile and climb in. Trevor smiles at me. "Hey babe.", he says, leaning towards me. We kiss for a minute. "Hi." I say, leaning back into my seat. He shifts and we start driving to school. He taps his fingers on he steering wheel as usual. I start eating the apple secretly. He hates it when people eat in his truck. All the way to school I keep pulling ninja moves as to eat my apple without him seeing. He finally stops the truck about 1 block away from school. He takes his keys out of the ignition and holds out his hand. I stare at it, wondering what he wants me to do. He laughs and says, "Give me the apple core." I stare at him, dumbfounded. "But, I..." "Tried being a ninja?" Trevor starts laughing uncontrollably.

I frown and throw the apple core at him. Once I hear the satisfying thump of the core hitting his abs I jump out of the truck, running for my life. I don't get far before he grabs my waist and pulls me to him. "Trying to escape? Not likely." I try to squirm away, but he only holds me tighter. He turns me around to face him. "Don't throw things." I start giggling. "I'm going to have to punish you." Then I wrap my arms around his neck. He wraps his arms around my waist in turn. Then we kiss so passionately that even the people he hated felt pleasure. It started out sweet and then turned into magic. It was everything a kiss should be. I swear, if Macie hadn't honked at us we'd have done it right there in the middle of the road. *shakes head* Anyway back to Earth. I jumped once the horn honked. I look over at Macie giving her the iciest stare I could muster at the moment. She laughed and honked one more time. She drove away and Trevor looked after her car. Almost....dreamily. I poke him and say, "Um...we should go to school." He shakes his head. "Yeah. Yeah. We should go, huh babe?" I look at him kind of confused. He puts his arm around me and we go back to his truck. 

Chapter 2-Short Announcement

Once we're at school, Macie flounces over to us. "Hey you two!" She makes kissy faces at us. I slap her arm lightly. "You scared the bejesus out of me with that honking bull." She laughs and replies with, "I figured I had to. You were about to do it in the middle of the road." I feel my face going pink. "Liar." She sees me blushing. "Obviously not, huh?" Trevor then speaks. But his words were, "How are you, Macie? Dealing with your loss?" I look between the two of them. Macie's expression reads anger, while Trevor's is amused. "I'm dealing just fine with my loss." I stare at Macie. "What loss?" She doesn't answer. "Imma go get something to eat babe. Want something?" "No." He walks away. "Macie, what loss?" She looks at me with tears in her eyes. I gently hug her. "You'll get mad." I console her with, "Noting you do could make me mad." "This could." "what could." She takes a deep breath and whispers in my ear, "*mumble mumble*......Trevor." "What?" "*Deep breath* I lost my virginity to Trevor" At that moment I push Macie away and stomp off to find Trevor.

Chapter 3-The Dilemma

(Tiny note: If I write in Italic most of the time it will be her mind speaking.) :)

"Trevor!", I scream throughout the school. People stare, but I am too focused to be embarrassed. Trevor runs out of the breakfast room with an energy drink and a doughnut in hand. "What?" I grab his sweatshirt and say, "We need to talk." On our way out we pass Macie who is blubbering like a baby.  "Grab her too." Trevor does what he's told out of fear of what might happen if he doesn't. We keep walking. How could they? My boyfriend and my best friend. Trevor cheated on me with Macie! Of all people. Well, actually I don't want him cheating on me with anyone, but with my best friend? I don't believe either of them are capable of that. Yeah. Maybe I hallucinated. A sob breaks out behind me, confiming my inner doubts. Ugh! I hate them. I hate them both. Maybe I should kill them. No. I'll get revenge on them though. If it's the last thing I do. What is Trevor most afraid of? Several flashbacks come back to me. Him telling me he's afraid to lose me. Him telling me he's afraid of the dark. Which is so cute. Focus! I hit it. Him telling me he'd freak if he ever became fat and gross. That's it. You'll make him fat again. Like he was in middle school. Now what about Macie? No hesitation. She's afraid of spiders. Deathly afraid. I'll summon plenty of spiders to frighten her. I'll learn a spell or something. Then I'll put them in her shampoo bottle. Her prized shampoo that she treasures. I actually hear a sinister laugh in my head. She'll die of fright! Excellent. I smile to myself, then shake my head. What's happening to me? Am I an evil wzard or something lame like that? I really hope not because if I was I would want to kill myself and anyone else like me. I could certainly never love one. Was Trevor one? If so, then the love one is wrong. Wait. Did I love him? Do I still love him if I did? Only an evil wizard would cheat on a girl with her best friend. So he must have some type of wizard probs or something. I am amazed at how lame I've become. I keep walking until we reach the door to outside. I shove open the door with enough force to knock a full-grown elephant over. I hear a muffled Jesus but I ignore it. Once I deem it appropriate I fling Trevor and an attached Macie in front of me. Macie has stopped sobbing and is just whimpering. I look at her she has to physically stop herself from bawling. She's no help. I sigh and turn to Trevor, who is looking majorly confused.

"So, Trevor. Wanna talk about your sleeping habits?" I place my hands on my hips and look him in the eyes. "Sleeping habits? What do you mean babe? I don't have inglomnia or anything like that." I tense at inglomnia. He has the worst grammar ever. "First of all, it's insomnia. Second,--" I'm interupted by a howl from Macie. I roll my eyes. Drama queen. "Second of all, I know you slept with Macie!!!" Trevor looks taken aback and nervous. Then he smiles. Immediately Macie stops crying and smiles a cruel smile similar to Trevor's. "What are you smiling about?" I ask defiantly with a twinge of fear. Trevor laughs and answers by kissing Macie. I stare in horror. This can't be happening!  But it was. Macie breaks apart from Trevor and says, "We fooled her baby." Trevor smiles and changes? I rub my eyes and look at him again. I wasn't hallucenating. His face was......melting. Like a peach-flavored popsicle. I check to see if Macie notices, but her face is doing the same thing. "No one will hear her scream out here, love.", says popsicle Trevor. Macie replys in some language I don't comprehend. It's like its all happening in slow motion. I turn to run, but the Trevor-like creature grabs my hood and pulls me back. I can feel him about to snap my neck when the unthinkable happens. I hear the sound of sharp steel shoved into soft flesh. I can pinpoint where he was stabbed by the breath he takes as the knife punctures skin. I feel his arms drop me in slow motion. But once I hit the
