/> he held out his other hand.
looking deep into my eyes he said, "Spirit, you've done what I've asked just fine. return to me Spirit."
i gasped, as the white swirl left my chest, and then danced on the boys open palm.
he looked to it from my eyes.
"Your free."
the white swirl left his hands, and he gazed into my eyes.
i tried to pull my hand away but he held on.
"I'm gonna get you out of here."
i took a step back.
he let go of my hand, and took my face.
Because he was stronger than me he softly pulled my face to his, smiled, and kissed me.
He pulled away from me as if he'd been shocked. he fell to his knees and backed up against the wall, breathing fast and hard, as if he was gasping, eyes pleading with me.
"you have to kiss him, and it has to mean something." Evelon's calm voice came to me.
"No!" i yelled.
"You have to."
"I wont."
"He's Dying Deven!" She screamed, all calm gone.
"How do-"
"I'll tell you."
i fell to my knees in front of him.
his eyes became wide.
"I'm gonna make you better." i nodded.
i took his face in mine and kissed him.
he tired to pull away.
"You waited to long, hold onto him, death has a strong hold on him, you have to kiss him with a meaning."
i found my meaning, and held onto his face.
his hands grabbed onto my elbows and pushed.
"Hold!" Evelon said.
the kid's grip on my elbows stopped pushing. instead it was pulling.
i tried to pull away as his tongue slipped into my mouth.
"Don't you'll both die, i'll tell you when."
at the mention of death i shoved my tongue into his mouth.
his hands went to my legs. in one swift movement i was sitting on his lap, one leg on each hip.
"I know, Deven, i can feel you, but death has a strong hold on you know, cause you took it from him, you have to hang in, he has to save you now, and if you don't save my sister i'll kill you."
One hand went to my back.
"Uh, Rude!" Evelon said.
his other hand went to my neck, holding me there, so i couldn't pull away.
Preston's ring burned on my finger.
i couldn't take it i pulled away from him.
when i did i slid off of him and layed on the floor.
it felt like i was on fire.
i turned my head and looked at the kid.
"Help me." I whispered.
i didn't know if he could hear me, but he nodded, and hurried over to me on his hands and knees.
the pain stopped and a wonderful calm came over me.
the kid looked at Evelon, who had both hands pined in her hair.
she began to sob.
"Kiss her, Kiss her, she's dying!"
the kid bent and took my lips for his own.
the pain that flew through me had me trying to get away.
"Hold her!"
he held onto me, while everything screamed for me to get away.
and then it was gone. replaced by a feeling of want, need.
i sat up, so i was on my knees.
"Pull away!"
we pulled away, backing up from each other until we hit the wall.
we both breathed hard.
"what's happening?" the kid asked, before darkness consumed me.
when i opened my eyes Evelon's relief was clear.
my head turned to her.
"Hey kid."
my voice was week as was my smile.
"h-hey."
"don't cry, i really hate that."
"why?"
"cause i hate the way it makes me feel. I love you Evelon."
she smiled.
"I love Deven." she nodded.
"Thank's for saving me."
"Anytime."
then she did something very un-Evelon like.
she bent and kissed my forehead.
Benton came in.
"I'm not drinking that." i said.
he sighed and set down two cups.
"Evelon-"
"i got it."
she opened the window, and chucked both of the cups out the window.
The kid came in, and walked over.
"She's weak, cause your a dumb ass, so you need to give her your blood." Evelon said.
the kid pulled up his black sleeve.
"will it hurt him?"
"Maybe." Evelon said.
"Give me your wrist."
i took it in my hand
"wait." he said.
he put an arm around my back, holding me up. he sat next to me.
"okay. drink."
"i can't."i said, tossing aside his arm.
i watched open mouthed as he used a fang to cut his wrist.
he held me close to him, so i couldn't get away.
he pressed his wrist to my mouth.
"Drink."
so i did.
"Does it hurt?" Evelon asked.
"NO, it feels nice."
"Damn, what's your name anyway?"
"Walker."
How could they talk so normal, as i was sucking his wrist like a retard?
his blood was good it warmed me as soon as i started. it made me feel safe. i wonder what he was feeling.
"no." he said, as i pulled away.
"I don't-"
he put his wrist to my mouth again.
i kept my mouth shut.
"Hey Deven?" Evelon asked.
"Huh?"
Walker pressed his wrist to my open mouth and right away i began to drink.
i glared at him. he smiled a cocky smile.
he sucked in air.
"Why would you want to hurt me?"
sadness was in his eyes.
i pulled away.
"I don't."
"That's not what your emotions say."
i grabbed his wrist and bit into it annoyed that he could feel what i felt to.
"Deven," He moaned, eyes closed.
Completely freaked out i pushed his arm away from me.
"I gotta go."
he pushed of of the bed and left.
i looked over at Evelon, her wide eyes matching mine.
"What the hell was that?"
"Your blood has been tainted."
"Meaning?"
"Don't you ever study? no one else can drink his our your blood except each other. your bond together forever and i think he knows that."
i grabbed her hand.
"What happened to never gonna see him again, once we're outta here."
"Your the one who bit him!"
i let go of her hand.
"It was bound to happen i could feel it."
"Does it hurt you in any way?"
"Nope."
"SO what is he my blood dude?"
"uh, i think he's your Tainted dude."
my life was so sucking right now. i cracked my jaw in annoyance.
i stood up.
"Whoa."
"Are you dizzy, your supposed to be strong."
"I am, come on we gotta defeat Benton."
we found Benton in a large room at a desk that wasn't his.
when we entered he stood.
"You have no right-" his words were cut off.
"Spirit!" walker yelled.
as if he was punching the air Spirit flew and hit Benton.
"Olivia!"
"Olivia?" me and Evelon asked, looking at each other.
Sure enough our Red headed sister stormed into the room Death in her eyes.
"Fire!"
fire came to her hand, her hair going blonde.
as if blowing a kiss, she blew fire at Benton.
"Reed!"
a kid with blonde hair came in.
"Air!"
his blonde hair turned black, and with a twisting motion of his hands, Air went to Benton.
"Alex!"
a kid with brown hair came in.
"earth!"
his hair turned to green.
a glowing green ball flew from his hand, and to Benton with no movement.
"Charlie!"
this kid also had brown hair.
"Water!"
Her flowing hair turned blue. she held her palm to the floor, and water poured from her hand. she used water like a Whip. with a cocky grin of her own she whipped it to Benton.
"Deven turn him to ash!" Walker yelled over the noise their gifts gave.
"Deven!"
"I can, it's not working!"
"YOU left, before she was done drinking from you." Evelon said.
Liv turned to us, death still in her eyes.
"You drank from him?"
"Your free Spirit!"
"Your free Fire!" she said, focusing.
"Your free Air!"
"Your free Earth!"
"Your free Water!"
"That will freeze him long enough to get out of here." Walker said.
he grabbed my hand and pulled me to the door.
"What do you mean He's got her? why am i only knowing now?" Preston said, to the kid at the gate.
i yanked my hand from Walker's and ran ahead.
"Preston!"
he turned as i slammed into him.
he grabbed my shoulders and pushed me away from him, which was like a million daggers to the heart.
"your blood."
he sniffed.
"i can explain-"
"Shit."
anger flooded his eyes, and he stepped around me.
"Preston." Walker said.
"What are you doing here?"
Walker looked at me.
"you had no problem jumping up to take my place did you?" Preston asked.
Guilt came to me almost knocking me to my knees.
it was what Walker was feeling.
"Is that true?" i asked, pushing in front of Preston.
"Yes, but Deven-"
i saw the true pain in his eyes, as i took a step away from him. i began to cry, not cause of me, but his feeling's where so strong. i swiped at my face.
"I'm good you gotta believe me."
like a switch his eyes widened.
"Walker no!" i screamed.
Walked kissed me.
i remembered what happened so i kissed him back.
we pulled away, and i knew he was telling the truth.
Preston Grabbed Walkers arm.
before anything could happen a hand came down on his shoulder.
"That is a kiss of truth, you can not hurt him, his blood is tainted with Deven's." Gianna said.
Preston took a step back, like i slapped him, and looked at me.
Hurt.
that was the biggest emotion i saw in his eyes before he turned his back on me and ran.
"shit."
"Let him be calm." Gianna said.
"He's gonna flip." i said, pulling away from her.
i grabbed his arm as we came close to his dorm.
"a sorry isn't gonna cut it, how many other guys have you kissed or drank from?" he shouted at me.
i was so shocked when i reached out and slapped his cheek i turned away and hurried down the hall.
i heard a thump on the wall, but kept going.
i took out the pin that held my bangs. i got into bed, and will sleep to consume me where, none of this stuff was happening, where i was normal.
when i woke up, i was fighting sleep.
i put my hand on Preston's back. he was sitting on the edge of my bed.
he turned to me, his eyes filled with something i didn't know.
he started at my throat and kissed his way up to my chin.
memories crashed into me, that had me scooting away from me.
"Deven."
"Leave me alone, i don't ever wanna see you ever again!" i shouted at him.
"Deven, please."
"NO!" i yelled.
"Just let me hold you."
tears streamed freely as he reached for me.
"No!" i said, pushing him away.
i noticed how i was crying.
"I just want to hold you."
since he was stronger than me, he pulled me into him, as i still pushed to get away.
he stood then, i was glad he was going.
i was wrong.
with pain in his eyes, he held onto my face and roughly kissed me.
this time i didn't fight him. i didn't do anything. i sat there hands on the bed, eyes closed. Barely kissing him back.
when he pulled back, he carefully layed next to me. he put me on my side and pulled me into his arms.
he smoothed my hair, and kept
murmuring, "i don't want to lose you, let me stay."
to keep form looking at his hurt filled eyes that i caused i stared at his mouth.
