Don't Runaway [Book 2]

Chapter 35

"Turn Right!" River yelled. "Right through those doors," she pointed at a big double boor down the hallway.

"Get down," I yelled getting ready to hit the door by using my head. Putting my head down I really hoped I don't break my neck doing this. Running full force I broke through the door but stumbled down some stairs on way.

Laying on the floor I saw River just a few feet away from me. With her eyes closed I quickly got up as I shook my head as I walked over to her. I placed my nose under her on hand. "I'm alright," she whispered as she twitched her hand on my nose. She got up, shook her head, and looked around the room. "This is the place. I remember it."

I walked around her to see what she was looking at and it was beautiful. Hundreds of flowers scattered the room with a large white fountain in the middle of the room. "How do you know this was here?"

"When Mel kidnapped mom and me for the first time. Craven hand punched his hand through my chest," she said walking towards the fountain.

"What!?"

"He was going to return me to dad but came here first to heal me." She placed her hand in the water and pulled out a lotus. "His not really a bad man," she smiled. "He didn't what to hurt me but he had to because of Mel. If he didn't, she would have."

"Are you telling me not to kill him," I asked.

"No, he needs peace. He wants his family, he wants the life that he had before. He's hurting Edea."

"What are you trying to do, River," I asked.

"I'm not telling you anything," she smiled. "Crevan, come out. It's time to end this!"

"But I'm not done," a dark figure came out of the shadows of a large bush full of red roses. "I have so much to do."

"Your games are done, Crevan!" I growled. "You tortured us long enough."

"My sweet little Edea, I don't want to torture you. I want what you want. Don't you want everything you never had. A family, a father," he smiled, "a place you can call home. You will never be alone ever again. No one will ever see you as disgusting again. Come with me, let us start over again." I must have been crazy. It's as if he was reading my mind.

I don't want to be alone anymore.

I don't anyone to hate me.

I don't to hide.

I want all of that and more.

I... want a place I can call... home.

I... want a family...

Who will love me...

I don't want to be forgotten

"Come to me Edea and everything will be just the way we want it. Together we can be a family."

"Edea," River's whispered as her little hand pulled onto my fur. I looked her in the eyes and I saw it. In her eyes took me to a black hole.

"You know when she wakes... she will become the very thing you hate. Even her unborn children may be vampires." Rachelle? "Will you hate you sister... with passion? Just a little advice. Maybe you should get use to vampires. Not all of them are bad. They're just like you and me, nothing more."

"I will not befriend a beast," I heard myself hiss.

"I hope you change your mind because this is all the family you have left."

"I know one day you're going to brake that promise. And you will have your reason but please don't make me worry." Father Able?

"Its okay, you're not alone," Victor? In the dark I saw a glowing with light blinding me as a black figure stood in front of it.
