In The Darkness (Watty Awards 2011)

Chapter 31: Last Tear

I stood up and paced realizing what I had just done. I was probably never going to see him again and this is how I pay him back? Im so horrible! I lied down on the leather cot again. My hair fell over my face I lied there for a long while, but my hair was tickling my neck and I couldn’t stand it. I brushed my hair feeling something cold and hard. I placed my fingers around it and brought it up,so I could take a better look at it. It was the VSC necklace I had gotten a long time ago. So much had happened since then , it was hard to believe it had only been 10 months. My hand traced the chain until it met with another chain. This chain was thinner and smoother. I grabbed it and saw it was the locker Ash had given me. Too bad I wasn’t ever going to live to see what was inside it. It didn’t matter what Trevor said or did I would end up dying either way. I looked at the locket tracing my fingers through the edges. I tried to recall until when I was allowed to open the locket. Curiosity started nagging at me. I have to at least be able to keep this promise. I sat upright and took the necklace off. I kept fiddling with the locket until I somehow was able to open it unintentionally. I slowly opened it holding my breath. I laid it in my palm and covered my mouth I stared at the squiggly handwriting which belonged to Ash.

“I   Love  You” 

A traitor tear escaped my eye. I quickly wiped it off. I knew that wherever he was he would try to save me. But if he keeps getting close to me he will end up getting hurt, and I could never let that happen. I started becoming really exasperated. I paced my cell once more. I suddenly felt the air being sucked out of room. It was like underwater again. I yelled not even able to my voice.

“Be careful your being watched all the time” The voice came out like a whisper barely able to hear it. All of a sudden it was like if a vacuum  had barfed all the air and sucked in all the water. I stumbled and sat down on the cot. Could this voice be the same person that has been giving me all these warnings? Maybe there is someone that is looking out for me. I lied down and looked up at the ceiling I sighed well at least there was heat vent so I couldn’t freeze to death. I closed my eyes sleepily the wound had taken a lot of energy out of me. The blanket of unconsciousness wrapped around me until it devoured me.

I woke up to a startling sound of metal scratching against metal. I got up and felt groggy. I looked to the source of the noise to  find Trevor. He was carrying to giant books with him that had little red flags separating certain sections of each book.

“Hey sorry to wake you up,but I found something that was important. Trevor sat at the end of the cot and opened the older looking book. He flipped through some pages until he got to the little red flag page. He read out loud one of the passages.

“If you wish to change the subjects soul into another container (A/N human,person,creature ect.) Then you must make that person be at their breaking point only then will you be able to kill them and obtain their soul and make it useful for the other container.” Trevor finished reading the passage.

“What does that mean? ‘at my breaking point’? “

“Well I might have an idea,but first I need to ask you something though.” Trevor said looking straight at me making me remember what had happened earlier.

“Your not a regular vampire are you?”

I hesitated thinking of my wording.

“You could say that” I said smiling cheekily

“Then what are you?”

“Im what people call a predator, I have this instinct that takes over me at a certain point and I cant do anything to control it, its like a beast is unleashed at that moment. I cant control anything I do..or anyone I hurt.” I said looking down at the ground feeling ashamed of myself for not being able to control it.

“That’s it!” Trevor yelled excitedly.

“What’s it?” I asked tilting my head a little to the side.

“That’s your breaking point, when you loose your control. It makes so much sense now!” Trevor grabbed the other thick book that had a thin layer of dust on top of it. He flipped to the page where the other red flag was.

I saw the page and started reading the passage that was named ‘Predators’. My eyes traced down certain words that defined most of my predator instincts. My eyes ligered through certain words like ; bloody killer, heartless, murder. The very last 2 sentences made my heart falter.

‘This predator is uncontrollable no amount of training will be able to control it.The only way to stop it is by killing it.

I felt a hand on my back.

“So either way im going ot die right?” my voice sounded so small and weak. Trevor didn’t say anything making  realize  that I was going to die.

“I promise I wont let you die, ive seen too many girls like you die because of my father and your not going to be next” Trevor stormed out of the room leaving me to my own thoughts that made me fret. Those words stuck through my brain, I was born with a curse of being a predator.’I cant die’ I said out loud. ‘Not yet, the only way ill die for sure is if Hallie is safe.’  I cant let anyone know that im scared out of my mind, I cant let them know that I don’t want to die. If not they’ll worry, I have to  be strong and protect everyone. One traitor tear slid down my cheek, but the farther it went down the stronger my confidence became. That was the last tear I was going to shed.

                                                           Ever.
