Trouble (Sequal to Midnight)

20: Isolated

Lily's Pov.

Hunting helped me clear my head. When I'm hunting I just focus on killing instead of thinking of all that's happening in my life. Ahead of me a bunny ran over a fallen down tree. My ears perked up and I crouched down. I waited for the bunny to stop and sniff the ground before I shifted my feet, jumped up and grabbed the bunny. It squirmed in my arms for a few seconds before I stuck my fangs out and bit into its small little neck. The delicious taste of blood filled my mouth and I couldn't stop. I sucked all the blood from the small little bunny. I took the corps and threw it aside.

I sat down on the log and rubbed my temples. I've been through so much stress lately I couldn't take it. I just need a break. I looked up and realized the sun was starting to set. How long have I been out here? I left at 6 in the morning because I couldn't sleep. I stood up and walked over to the tree where I had stored my backpack. I grabbed it and slung it over my shoulder. I started to run home, dodging logs, rocks, and bushes.

Justin's Pov.

I had come up with my plan against Roderick and now I just need to get everyone together. First I had to call my friend, Chaz, we haven't talked in years. We lost contact back in 2004 for some reason. I quickly dialed his number, hoping he still had the same number. After a few minutes grouchy voice picked up.

"Hello?"

"Hey. Uh...is this Chaz?" I asked as innocent as possible just incase it wasn't him.

"Yea. Who is this?" His voice sounded more serious then it had before.

"It's me, Justin."

"Oh my god. Man, it's been forever. How've you been?"

"I uh...actually need your help with something...or um...someone."

"Sure. What's the plan?"

After I finished telling him my plan we hung up and I called Scooter, Usher, Mike, and Ryan. All agreed to help accept Usher. He thought it was a bad idea so he decided not to come. The rest of the boys are going to come as soon as they can.

Rose's Pov.

My dad's been in his room talking on the phone with multiple people for hours and I'm starving. My mom is out hunting so I guess I'll get something soon. I don't understand how they can carry on life with Erika in the hospital. Speaking of hospital I should call them. I slowly trudged out to the living room to the house phone. I didn't want to call on my cell phone so I decide to use the house one.

"Call 1(890) 543-8473" I spoke to the phone and gave it the number for the hospital.

"Calling 1(890) 543-8473" it repeated the number for me so I could make sure it was correct. When I didn't say anything to stop it, it started to ring.

"Hello. What's your emergiency?"

"Hi. This is Rose Bieber, I was wondering if you could give me an update on Erika Bieber?" The line on the other end got silent.

"I'm so sorry. I was just about to call. The doctors did all that they could do but her heart failed. She died just about 20 minutes ago."

My stomach dropped and my throat closed up. She's...gone. I dropped to the floor and started bawling. The lady at the hospital said she was sorry again then she hung up. I heard footsteps coming towards me and I looked up to see my mother confused.

"Mom...Erika. She's...gone." I said, crying between every word.

My mom got a blank look on her face and she began rubbing my back. After a few minutes I stood up and walked to my room. She went to her room to tell my dad. I lied down on my bed and faced the wall. I realized it had been a while since we actually had a conversation because she was in a coma. What was it? I tried to think back to when it happened and then it hit me.

FLASHBACK:

I hate it here. I keep seeing flashbacks of what Roderick did to me. I have to get out. Erica and I have been working on getting these boards off the window. He nailed the boards in very tight and Erica and I are already tired. I heard soft footsteps coming towards the door. "Get back where you were!" I whispered to Erica rather loudly. She ran back to where she was tied up and sat back down pretending to be tied up. I ran back over to where I was, turned off the light and slipped my hands back through the ropes that he loosely tied around me. The door slammed open and Roderick walked in "I spoke with you mom," what? Moms here?! "she's very angry and spit in my face. Now she'll pay" now he was staring straight at Erica. No. Not her too. Then I looked down at his hands and realized he had a knife in them.

Come on. Now would be the time to turn into a vampire! I slipped my hands out of the ropes. Even if I'm not a vampire yet I can still do something to stop him from hurting her. I ran up to him jumping on his back and pulling on his neck. Almost as soon as I had done it I regretted it. I forgot he had the knife in his hand. I don't remember it well. It was all moving so fast. The next thing I knew I was on the ground. I looked down at my stomach. There was red everywhere. The room started to blur. No, I need to be there was Erica. I heard a door close. Then Erica's face came into view. She was saying something. My eyes got even blurrier. Then....nothing.

*********************************

After that everything was blury. Everything was gone. That was the last thing I remember of her. I hated that. I needed to get revenge.
