pure vampire - Chapter 64 Caugh
.
.
Slowly I opened my eyes to five concerned faces hovering above me.
“What happened?” I asked sitting up slowly. Simon reached down to help me
“You almost killed your sister!” Lily exclaimed. All the memories came rushing back at once. Kim was here and I was so close to ending her. But they stopped me. How? Seb saw the confused look on my face and all but read my internal question.
“Jace restrained you with a spell and I injected a little platinum into your spinal column. It was the only thing I could do to stop you. You hyped out” Seb explained. That part he didn’t need to. I remember how it felt to feel all that rage. I would have killed my sister had they not acted in time. No matter how angry I am I wasn’t ready to take her life. She just got under my skin and I lost control.
“I’m sorry” I apologized to all my friends. Everyone seemed to be understanding of what I was going through. I raised my head to the setting sun and was slightly surprised. Then I looked on the ground and saw green grass beneath my feet. We were in an empty field, hundreds of yards from a dirt road.
“Where are we? There is only one moon” I said pointing to the sky
“That’s because we are back on earth! Five days later” Lily answered grunting at the end. I furrowed my brows
“We took the portal back while you were unconscious. Since time doesn’t move the same as it does in Nexus, five days have passed since we went in” Jace explained. Wow that’s insane! It didn’t even feel like we had been in Nexus for more than a day.
“So what’s next?” I questioned. I had no idea where on earth we were but I’m assuming somewhere in the country.
“Well I came up with a plan” Jace started. I was a little shocked to see him taking initiative but judging from the others expression they had already heard his idea. “We have been running with no real direction. So I contacted an old friend of the family. Her name is Cora and she can help” Jace said
“Help how?” I asked
“Cora is a level three psychic. She has what witches call foresight. Meaning she can see the future but because she is a level three, which is the strongest of the psychics, she can accurately predict the most likely future. Which is hard to do because the future is always changing” Jace further explained
“Okay. But why do we need a psychic?” I felt odd that I was the only one questioning it
“We thought it would help to see if we were on the right path. I mean just running around with no direction isn’t getting us anywhere” Jace added. I could see his point there. But I had this nagging feeling that this was also because I lost control and my friends were nervous about what I was capable of. No one was arguing, so I nodded too. What was the worst a witch would tell me? I don’t even want to know that answer.
“We have a car up the road that Seb got” Marie chimed in with her small smile. She was standing close to Simon and the sight made me happy. I hope it works for them if they take it that far. Because my sisters words are still haunting me and I wonder if I will ever truly be loved for the person I was, am and will be.
We all begin to walk from the field to the road. Lily keeps entertaining us by annoying Jace by asking questions about a fortune teller and crystal balls. I really want to talk to Jace about the things Kim said but now isn’t the time. For all I know she could have been lying. Not to mention the conversation I need to have with Seb about our heated moment and the mate situation. It’s all so much its making my head spin.
We finally arrive at the car and I have to hold back my laugh
“A minivan” I say looking at the beat up gray soccer mom car.
“Don’t blame me I wanted a Porsche! But Mr. Bossy said no” Lily whined climbing in the front seat.
“It’s not practical” Seb said defensively opening the side door. We all got in and Jace took the wheel. Lily began messing with radio and then proceeded to sing loudly, further annoying the men in the car.
We drove for a few hours and finally turned into a small country house. It looked quant and homey from the outside. Various beads, feathers and dream catchers decorated the tiny red home. After we all exited the car, Jace lead us to the front door.
“Cora can be intimidating at first but when you have her knowledge it’s hard not to be” Jace warned before knocking.
I started to get this uneasy feeling again. A part of me wanted to make a run for it. Slowly the door creaked open. Too late to run now.
A woman stood in the doorway. She had long jet black hair, and her skin was a deep tan. She looked like a Native American except one of her eyes was green and the other hazel. Her face was hard and strong. This woman had been through a lot. No wonder Jace said she was intense.
“Hello Cora” Jace greeted
“Good evening young Jace. It’s good to see you” Cora replied in an unusually deep voice for a woman.
“I have someone for you to meet” He said reaching back and grapping my hand. I wanted to dig my feet into the wood and hide behind him. But I couldn’t. Jace thrust me in front of her. I was able to get a closer look and saw some wrinkles on her face but not many. I also notice a black line in the center of her forehead
“No introduction necessary” Cora replied stepping closer to me.
Suddenly the line in the center of her forehead moved up, revealing another eye! Cora has three eyes! I couldn’t help but jump back startled by it. From the gasps behind me I knew my friends felt the same. The black line wasn’t a line at all but lashes. And her third eye was a cloudy white like a blind eye. But I knew she could see just fine.
“Hello Analise, daughter of Queen Celeste, and future destroyer of us all….”

Kim Pov
Kim was livid by the time she emerged from the tunnels. Killing Ana didn’t go at all like she expected. The worst part was that Talon knew Ana was strong, and had some type of power. One that she wished she had herself. Damn it! She cursed to herself as she dashed through the woods of Mercy Falls. Her goal was to go straight to Talon and confront him about sending her on that mission. Had those losers not shown up, Ana would have killed her. Kim knew she couldn’t let that happen.
Once she was out of the woods, she went right to the motel that Talon turned her in. The memories of the things they did in that room almost had her core heating, but she held it in and tried to focus on her anger instead.
Kim kicked the door wide open, not bothering to knock. The sight in front of her only added to her already pissed off state.
Talon was in the bed with nothing on with a naked red head riding him like a bull. From the erratic beating of the girl’s heart, Kim knew she was human. Not even giving it a second thought, Kim zipped to the bed, yanking the girl off Talon and tossing her to the other side of the room where the girl smacked the far wall.
“Hey babe. Did you finish your assignment” Talon asked casually putting his hands behind his head. He didn’t even bat an eye at what just happened
“What the fuck! Who is that whore!” Kim shouted pointing at the girl moaning in pain on the floor.
“She’s just my little fun and none of your concern” He answered with an almost amused expression.
Kim was shaking with rage and jealously. Now that she was a vampire her emotions were haywire and she acted on impulse. The impulse she was feeling right now was to eliminate any competition.
Without warning Kim pounced on the unsuspecting girl, snatching her up from the ground by her hair. The girl began screaming and kicking, but her human strength could only be described as weak at best. Kim made sure to look Talon in the eye before she made her move. Once she had all his attention she viscously bit into the girl’s neck. Kim savagely attacked her until she ripped out a chunk of her throat and dropped her dying body to floor.
“I wasn’t done with her yet” Talon said reaching for a cigarette on the nightstand. Kim wiped the blood from her mouth with the back of her hand.
“You are now” She snapped. “Why didn’t you tell me Ana had some type of fucking power?!”
“I take it you couldn’t kill her” He stated sitting up to take a drag of his cigarette.
“No! The bitch almost killed me!” Kim yelled. Talon’s laid back attitude about the situation wasn’t helping her. She couldn’t even get her fangs to retreat she was so mad.
“Hmm she’s a fighter isn’t she” Talon said to himself more than her “We’ll have to come up with a better plan next time”
“Fuck you! I’m over this!” Kim turned to storm out the room, but Talon was in her face stopping her in seconds. He no longer looked calm and relaxed but angry.
“You will never walk away until I give you permission. I made you, therefore I own you” He said menacingly.
Kim hissed in response. A bad move on her part. Talon’s big hand wrapped itself around her throat so tightly she could feel her windpipe crushing. His black eyes peered down at her as she struggled to remove his hold.
“Are we clear?” He asked. Kim did her best to eagerly agree and Talon finally let her go.
“Now that we’re on the same page, it’s time to come up with plan B.” Talon said walking away from a gasping Kim. Once the bruises started to heal on her neck she stood and faced the still nude man. Even though he nearly broke her neck, she still couldn’t help desiring him. Kim was an addict and Talon was the worst drug she could be on.
“Sorry for trying to leave you babe” She said stepping over the dead girl’s body and closing the space between her and Talon. He watched her with mild interest. “I’ll do anything you want. Just tell me. How do we kill my sister?” Kim purred running her fingers down his bare chest.
Talon opened his mouth to reply but stopped. His eyes changed to a faraway look and a fearful expression covered his face.
“Talon? What’s wrong?” Kim questioned concerned.
“We have to go. NOW!” He demanded. Before she could respond, Talon was zipping through the room quickly getting dressed and gathering his things. If she weren’t a vampire she wouldn’t have been able to follow his speedy movements.
“Kim! Bring your ass here now!” Talon screamed at her from the entrance. She had no idea what was happening but now wasn’t the time to question him. Kim quickly took his hand and he practically dragged her from the motel room. Whatever was going on was serious because she could sense Talons fear.
By the time they had reached the parking lot of the motel, Kim didn’t have to ask what he was afraid of. In seconds they were surrounded by large men covered in chainmail. The soldiers descended on them so fast it was as if they appeared out of thin air. They circled the pair but never said a word.
“Fuck!” Talon cursed dropping his packed bag to the ground.
“What’s going on?! Who are these people?!” Kim asked panicking. The soldiers had deadly looks on their face and not one heart beat could be heard. Kim wasn’t the smartest girl but she knew these vampires were professional and not to be messed with.
The men in front of them parted slightly to make room for another walking through. The vampire that came to the center must have been the leader of the group. He walked with authority and had a dark sexiness about him. Kim cursed herself for even thinking it but it couldn’t be helped. Whoever this man was he was hot. Even if he did end up killing them.
“Nice to see you again so soon” The dark haired man said looking directly at Talon. From the evil glint in Talon’s eyes, Kim understood the men knew each other and weren’t on friendly terms
“Maximus! I’m not surprised to see you behind this ambush. Still a traitor against your brother I hear” Talon said in his usual cocky tone. The man, Maximus, didn’t seemed amused.
“My brother made his own foolish choices that he will pay for. I will no longer take the fall for his arrogance” Maximus snapped back
“Whatever helps you sleep at night Max! By the way I hear Cassandra is still running from you. It’s a shame your own mate hates you because she is a nice piece of ass if I do say so myself” Talon taunted with a smirk.
