black circles are filling my vision, i still struggle, feebly, weakly to hurt him,to make him let me go.he knows im slowly going under, yet there is a sharp pain on my neck, like being pricked with a needle, my head swims. "im sorry..." he mutteres. those are the last words i hear before i succumb to the blank nothingness.
there was talking, voices whispering in the background of my mind. i try to push them away and keep my mind blank. the horrorfying thoughts were still swarming in my head like a bunch of angrey bee's. i try to consentrate on the voices, matching the words and sound of the voice with my memory of the people i know. i heared sophias voice, loud and clear, then blakes, jacoby, bell, erin, francis, suzanne and...
theres one voice that i couldnt match, llike my head refused to build it up, put the last puzzle peice together.
i recalled my dream in a sudden blur, the voice, the chill, the hands, the scent...
liam was the one who turned me.
a wave of sensual pleasure washed over me just then, so strong that i had to pry my eyes open and gasp aloud.
"zoey!" i heared multiple voices start in surprise. i sat up and rubbed at my temple, i could feel a serious stress head ache coming on. my friends were chattering, sounding more like bee's than people. i opened my eyes and my head spun, the room around me swirled. i groaned and stood up, pushing away any hands that tried to help me up. when i opened my eyes, i saw only one face. his blue eyes held mine with a gravitational pull, i felt my feet move forward without me willing them to do so, they walked steadily to liam, my gaze never leaving his. i was not two inches from him now, i couldnt feel my heart in my chest. there was no pulse to guide me. we stared at eachother, i could feel the happiness enaminating from him, like a tangible smile.
"i didnt know if you had made it." he whispered before pulling me into a tight hug. i did not pull away, the instinct was to strong. my arms wrapped around his cold broad shoulders and held him tighter. he picked me up and swung me in a circle. i could feel the icy stares like daggers in my back, bringing me back from cloud nine and into the present. with a sigh, i turned around and walked back to the group. the weirdest stares came from jacoby and blake, both looking kinda mad but utterly defeated. i walked over to each of them and hugged them tight, kissing their cheeks and holding both their hands in my own. they stood strong and tall by my side, unworried and un afraid of the future that awaited them. the crowd began to dispurse and leave, going their own way. i squeezed blake and jacoby's hands and smiled, "im going to go wash up, ill be right back." i whispered. they nodded and i walked away, feeling their worried stares on my back like a "kick me," note.
the water was almost warm, like bath water. i was surprised erin and francis had dugg out a huge dirt pool and filled it with cement. they had done a terrible job though, one i had just dutifully fixed. the floor of the bath was smooth and warm too. normally, the water was cold and freezing, but with my fire element, i had warmed it just enough. the water moved and i shot up out of the pool, i waited for my heart to pick up but there still was no pulse. i hid down in the water and waited for some alert of noise.
"zoey." liam whispered seductivley. my breath caught in my throat. i hugged my chest and protected my naked body.
"uh, im not decent." i protested. i heard him chuckle and i couldnt help but walk toward his laugh, my feet moved on their own accord. his hand pressed onto the small of my back and drew me closer to him. i shivered and a heavy fog started to loome around us, shrouding us in its gray cloud. even in the darkness, i could see his bright blue eyes, staring down at me in wonder. his cold fingers touched my lips and parted them. i hesitated and tried to pry myself away from him, thinking of blake and jacoby. liam stiffened and crushed my body to his.
"no! you belong to me!" he hissed, his mouth met mine and moved with an eagerness that was not far from violence. the touch of his lips on mine had electricity running through my veins, i shuddered.
blake and jacoby's face's filled my mind. i whimpered and jerked away from him, wiping my mouth and dunking my torso under the water.
"no, im not some prize or some peice of propery, i dont belong to anyone," i whispered. he snarled and rushed forward after me, i yelped and pushed a wave of water at him, jumping out of the water and yanking on the clothes i had stolen from walmart. i grabbed my dirty clothes and nearly ran through the darkness to my room. the hallway was darker than the bathing room, shrouding me in a darkness so deep, the bottomless pit of the ocean would seem bright. i held my breath and tip-toed down the corerdor. cold hands caught me and spun me around. hard lips crushed down on mine and his body pushed me up against the wall. i wrapped my legs around his waist and let him hold me. liam grunted and kissed down my throat. "you've lost your scent, its a pity..." he whispered. i whimpered and held him closer to me, there was no thinking only pleasure. liam gripped my butt and rocked against me, kissing me passionaly.
"hello?" jacoby whispered, liam realesed me and disappeared into the dark, lauging quietly as he did. i bent over and braced my hands against my knee's for support, gasping while my head spun. "jacoby!" i hissed. he chuckled and his warm hand clamped down on my shoulder. "are you okay?" he asked, his voice full of concern. i giggled and clasped my hand over his. "im uh, im fine." i scoffed. liam laughed again and held me up. "ill help you find your room." he offered, i nodded and tried to keep the guilt off of my face. we walked in compatible silence, our hands swinging in the darkness. i kept hearing this strange noise, like someone was growling in the darkness everytime jacoby's hand squeezed mine. then, like a beacon of hope, sophia came sprinting down the hallway and slammed right into me, making me stumble blindley. "sophia!" i laughed. she squeezed me and smacked jacoby's hand from mine, a scowl on her face. "i can take it from here, jacoby." she said. i laughed and she lead me down the hallway. she couldnt stop smiling, her face was a bright pink, her eyes wide with excitement. i giggled and she opened the tall black door that blocked the entrence to our room. the moment blakes eyes met mine my heart broke into a sprint, finally beating through the darkness it had been enclosed in. i smiled widley and realesed my tight grip on sophia's hand. "zoey..."
blake breathed, towing me onto the bed and encircling me in his strong arms.i looked around the room and could spot sophia no where. where was she?" where's-" i was about to ask but blake stopped me with a kiss.i giggled and fell asleep wrapped in his arms.it was a while later when i awoke, i was alone, blake was no where to be found. i groped at the sheets and frowned groggily. "blake?" i whispered. no response. i got up and pulled on a thin elbow length t-shirt and a pair of loose fitting jeans. with a sigh, i walked out and left the room.
when i entered the main room, everything was chaotic.suzanne was in the midst of the group.i could see the long deep blakc dress she was wearing, it hugged her soft curves, her voice louder than the others, i heard her cackle then moan when liam carressed her. confusion flodded through me, what the hell? i focused on everyone else, thier faces streaming with tears. blake was hurriedly walking towards the center of the group and when he got there, he let out a cry of pain and sorrow. i heard him sobb, i heard a more distinct sobb above the rest.my heart jerked in response.
there was an uproar of chatter, paniced voices flooding over eachothers. my brow furrowed and i scanned the crowed, looking for sophia. a pair of dark brown eyes, sad, upset, and crying, stared right through me, the body connected to them was glowing a strange blue. i opened my mouth to speak, but no sound came out. i started to panic, i screamed as loud as i could but no one turned to my shriek. i ran over to the crowd, intent on getting their attention. there was a loud wailing, like someone was crying openly. i started to hyperventilate as i approached the small opening in the crowd, i could see sophia's small head, bobbing back and forth in grief. then my eyes focused and i saw it.
there, lifeless and broken, lay my pale body. my dark green eyes stared up at me, a question in her eyes.
why?
"no!" i shrieked.
and sat straight up in bed, screaming at the top of my lungs. i gasped loudley, disoriented by the touch of prying fingers. i whimpered and dropped my face into my hands, trying to force the terrible image of my dead eyes from my mind. i moaned loudley and my head lolled."out of the way!" i barley heard jacoby yell. i rocked back and forth and continued to groan. "zo, are you alright? why were you screaming?" jacoby asked me quietly. i sobbed, a broken saddened sobb that left my throat in what sounded like a , "no," i wiped my eyes and looked at jacoby. his brown eyes, the same color as in my dream, made me gasp and start to connect the dots.
i was going to die.
suzanne and liam had something to do with it.
jacoby wasnt going to save me.
my head whirled and the room spun. there was a bunch of tittering going on. i found my voice and whispered. "stop, please, stop." the room instantly went quiet, all their attention was on me. i met jacoby's gaze, ridden with worry, and uttered the impossible words.
"im going to die."
the room was still, no one dared to break the silence. jacoby's eyes filled with dread and fear. the disbelief was plane on his face. i stroked his cheek, trying to calm away the anxiety he was feeling. his eyes closed and he took a deep breath.
"i need to speak to zoey alone, now." he said, the room emptied but he said nothing. there was a deep silence, i could see that he was trying to control the panic, the fear. i watched him become calmer, watched the stress leave his troubled eyes.
"jacoby?" i whispered. no answer, he just stared at me. i frowned, slumping my shoulders and attempting to stage off the insistant feeling that my end was near.
"what makes you think your going to die?" he breathed. i took a deep breath and stared at the wall.
" i had a premonition, a vision." i told him. his head inched backward like he didnt belive me. my jaw dropped and i made a noise in annoyance. "jacoby! im serious," he took a deep breath and smiled weakly. i frowned and let out a gusty sigh.
"tell me what you saw," he ordered. i told him the dream, telling him about the brown eyes that mirrored his, about the blue ora i thought i saw around the maybe-him, told him about Suzanne and liam, how i thought they had something to do with my death. when i finished, jacoby stared down at the floor with a intensly focused exspression.
"so, uh what do you think?" i asked him. his lips pulled up in a sardonic smile and he met my gaze."i think you need to stay the hell away from liam and suzanne." he suggested. i scoffed and gave him a sarcastic grimace."no s**t? like i really was gunna be all 'oh, i wanna hang out with my supposed-to-be killers!' yeah, that'll happen," he groaned and i frowned. "im sorry, im just really stressed and scared and..." my voice shook and tears budded in my eyes. i blinked hard and looked away. "hey, its alright, im not judging you." he whispered. i yawned hugley and flopped back onto the bed. "ah, hell! im so tired.didnt i just sleep for like, a long time?" i asked him, staring up at the ceiling with a baleful exspression.
"about two hours, maybe three." blake answered. i popped up out of the bed and ran into his arms faster than you could say moonwalking micheal. his strong arms comforted me and i inhaled deeply.
suddenly, i was crying, big fat tears rolling down my face and soaking his shirt with saltwater. i trembled and shaked, ignoring the jealous stare of jacoby protruding on my back. "b-blake!" i blubbered, clutching onto his for dear life. he rubbed my back and kissed my hair. i heard a familiar sigh, i didnt let go of him.
"did anyone tell you?" jacoby asked, his voice sounding alot like the jealous-but-know's-his-boundries-guy/ almost-boyfriend. i felt blake shake his head.
"about what?" blake asked. the silence in the air was like electricity, a strong current vibrating through the air and skittering around us. i twisted a little to see jacoby's exspression, i was suckerfished to blakes side. jacoby didnt look happy.
"zoey had a premonition, she saw herself dead." jacoby said, his voice careful and calm, but i could hear the pain reverberating through it. he was at his breaking point.
"what?" blake hissed, his voice like ice. i flinched back and huddled closer to him, burying my face in his shirt. he strode over quickly and sat down on the bad, i curled up next to him and weaved my fingers through his. jacoby re-told my story and ended with a sarcastic-half laugh.
"i dont know how you didnt see it, your sister's a total nut. like, crazy with a capital F," he chortled. i stared jacoby down and sent him an obvious, your so not helping! look. blake was completley silent, his breathing was coming in stuttered and broken, like he might start to hyperventilate."blake im sorry-" i whispered. i reached up and tried to calm him with my touch, but he smacked my hand away and left the room, fist clenched tightly and head down. tears burned in my eyes. "i shouldnt of told him..." i breathed, jacoby stared soberly at the place where blake once stood, his eyes were tight. "no, he needs to know what the hell his sister is up to, your life is on the line here zoey, we cant take any chances." i nodded like i understood and kept my mouth shut.i missed my normal life so bad my stomach clenched and i had to blink hard to keep the tears back. all this drama and weirdness was just too damn much for me, i hated every minute of it. i let out a heady sigh and rubbed my temples,aware suddenly of the sharp throb in my head.
jacoby had came and sat next to me, he was just about to say something when we heard a loud gutteral snarl, a shriek of defience, and a bellowed,"no!" both our heads snapped up and i flashed from the room, streaking down the hallway and following my ears towards the screaming. i skidded to a halt when i found the source of the noise. a familiar sense of de-ja-vu washed over me, the scene was like the one in my dream. suzanne was wrapped in the same deep black dress i had seen her in, liam was steadied behind her, his eyes on me. i watched a smile spread across her face, slow and feral. as i watched, there was a strange dark mist that seemed to move towards me, my gut twisted and my heart dropped into my shoes. i stumbled away and whimpered, my eyes wandered and glanced around frantically for blake or jacoby. i could see sophia, staring at me witha strange exspression. i seen the mist stop, then inch its way towards her. i screamed in defience and ran forward, into the heady black fog.
big mistake.
my legs slowed and my mind began to fuzz. i groaned, zombielike, and staggered. the fog spread upwards and wrapped around my legs, pulling me downward. a sharp, searing pain shot up my legs, like burning hot razor blades being dragged recklissley up them. i screamed and clawed at the mist, nothing happened, the pain spread from my legs to my hands, i screamed louder. the pain was bewildering, but i felt the spreading numbness more than it, i felt the easy, welcoming darkness that protruded in my mind. it was almost like someone had set me on fire, but i was too drugged up on morphine to really feel it. i stumbled and fell to my knee's. why doesnt anyone come and save me? i wondered, the mass of people were focused on suzanne and liam, their voices high pitched. cant they hear me screaming? i opened my eyes wider and stared at the black mist that had engulfed me and hidden me inside its trenches. i suddely felt so tired, too tired to fight anymore. i slumped and the mist quivered, slinking down towards me. the pressure it put on my body made me collapse and inhale sharply. my eyes whirled and everything spun. i watched in mute horror as the mist dripped into my chest, into my head, my mouth. it tasted like death, bittersweet and dirty. i gagged and convulsed, my torso dragging upward. there was a strange light, it was a soft but bright purple, it was like i was staring at the sun, but it was easier on my eyes. my body went limp, i felt nothing from the neck down. i willed my mouth to move, willed to shriek the words that reverberated in my mind.
"no more!" i shrieked, loud enough that the mist hissed and clutched at me. with the last bit of energy i had left in me, i picked my hand up and threw the full force of my spirit at it, flinging the mist backwards and off of me. it disapeared and i could hear the masses yelling my name, sophia's face filled my vision.
