asked. I wrapped my arms around her. She pulled away.
"Get up!" She hissed as she faded away .
"No." I said still trying to cling to the dream.

My eyes shot open. I was frustrated. I took a few deep breaths to calm myself. I caught the scent of black roses, and blood. It was Renee. I look around me. How did she get here? No girl in sight. I shuddered had I been wrong?
The wind shifted. Now the scent was much stronger, and coming from the east. I tried to stand up but my head and ribs ached. I clutched at my ribs as I tried to stand up. I finally pushed myself off the floor and against a tree. I slunk quietly, and slowly to the east, bent on finding Renee.
"She's down by the river." Stephanie said as she suddenly appeared in front of me.
"Why should I trust you?" I asked angrily. I didn't like her.
"Because I'm the only one you can." Stephanie hissed. Maybe she was right or perhaps she was lying to me.
"No-" I started to protest.
"You better hurry!" Stephanie said as she ran towards the river. I sighed at thought about my options. Follow or stay? I followed her. What did I have to lose?
I bolted through the forest. Trees flew past me as I raced to where Stephanie had disappeared to. I wasn't sure exactly where she was. It was had to follow. I didn't see her, but I saw where she had been. Branches and leaves where pushed aside and her scent lingered.
When I flew out of the forest to the river bank, I was surprise to see Stephanie with her arms folded. She was looking across the river. Her back toward me. With caution I approached her. Once at her side, I followed her gaze across the river.


Chapter 4. Save me (Renee)
"Renee?" Ivy asked and grabbed my arm. "Can I talk to you for a second?"
"I guess." I said not taking my eyes away from Kayla.
"Let's talk in private." Ivy said dragging me into the hall. "Your future is in stake."
"My future?" I laughed. "How would you know?" I asked curiously.
"I just do." She said sadly and grabbed my shoulder. "Just trust me."
"Why should I?" I asked and yanked my shoulder out of her grip.
"You don't remember?" She asked.
"Remember what?" I hissed at her.
"It doesn't matter!" She said in frustration. She clenched her fists. "Just listen to me! Hear me out before you run back into that room ready to kill Kayla." She said as matter of fact.
"Okay." I said not really playing attention. "Spit it out."
"Your future," She said pausing. "My future... everyone's future is in your hands." She said mysteriously.
"What are you talking about?" I asked leaning against the hall wall.
"Don't interrupt me!" She snapped. "You're in great danger." She warned me. "Your life will be the fate of ours."
I nodded my head. I wasn't quite understanding her. I wanted to tell her she was crazy, but I didn't have the nerve to.
"You're going to find yourself with a boy. I don't know his name. My visions don't allow me to see it!" She growled in frustration. "He's a brown hair, brown eyes, tanned skinned boy. He's looking for a girl. Like you, but he's not looking at the right person. You're his future! He's you future. He's gonna help you realize everything. You can't let him know! You can't pressure him. You have to find him before she gets a hold on him!" She said grabbing my shoulders. "He's your only hope! He's our only hope! We need him." She started shaking me.
"Chill out." I laughed prying her hands off me. "How hard can it be to find a tanned vampire? I'll find him in a week tops." I said surely.
"There's some bad news." Ivy said dropping her hands and looking at the floor. "Your have two weeks."
"A week more than I need." I said and straightened my shirt.
"That's not the bad part." She said looking up at me. "It's gonna be harder to find him. You have to start now."
"No, I don't." I said starting to wonder why she was telling me this. "There's something you're not telling me?" I asked a little worried.
"He's human." She said looking at the floor.
“Why on god’s green earth would a human need me?” I barked outraged. “I am not some keepers, Ivy! If he’s so important you can find him!” I hissed at her. “I am going to look for a new blood daughter soon, and I do not need to be out looking for some boy!”
                “You can train him.” She said softly. She took out a paper from her cloak pocket. “Look for him; he’s just a boy.” I snatched the paper from her. He was as she had described him. He looked like he could take care of himself. He would be fine in the human world.
                “I want nothing to do with that boy, Ivy.” I told her honestly. “He is not what I seek in a bloodline relative; and I do not wish to look after some little youngster.” I said bitterly. I crumpled up the paper and tossed it at Ivy. She caught it and smoothed it out.
                “Look in a mirror!” Ivy laughed. “What are we but sixteen in the mortals eyes?” She was talking as if she was from the eighteenth century. I hit her shoulder and turned away.
                “You might be over two-hundred years old, but I am from barely this century! I am eighteen in human years! But because of this damned curse laid upon me by Kayla I look sixteen. There’s no telling how old Kayla is! She could be over five-hundred years old!”
                Ivy hit my shoulder so hard I thought my arm would fall off. “You little runt!” She hissed. “Focus!”
                “Focus on what?” I laughed. I rubbed my arm. It still hurt, but it was dulling.
                “He could have already been taken. I don't see calendars and clocks.” Ivy said acutely sitting on the hall table. “He could be in training now, and you’ll have no hope.”
                “Who would have taken him?” I asked in jest. “Kayla? Kristen?” Ivy shook her head and starred sadly at me. “Who then?” I asked becoming humorless.
                “Raven.” She said the name nastily. I hadn’t seen Raven in years! I thought by now she’d be dead. I hadn’t heard of her since I had spoken later with Kayla.
She had told me a story of Raven (her blood mother) that she had killed David Sparing. He had wedded a human and had children with her. Raven had been outraged that one of her bloodlines had done such a thing. So Raven had killed David’s wife and waited for him to return home. She then slaughtered him and spared the Sparing offspring. I was sure it was just a story but later I found out it was real.
I was mortified by the thought of half vampire and half human creatures walking the earth. Such gross and vile creatures should have been killed. I was truly tempted to find them and kill them but Kayla advised me that it would begin a war.
“She’s still alive?” I asked curiously. Ivy nodded and began pacing.
“But there’s more than that. She gained a power over her life. The same gift I hide form Kayla. She saw your future and realized if you met him you’d rule with him! You’d overcome Kayla and Raven. But without that boy you’d never realize it.” Ivy paused.”If Raven hadn’t interfered than you’d meet him exactly two weeks from now, but since she did you have to find him in two weeks or all over our race will lay down our arms to Kayla and Raven by the end of fall!
“There’s a war?” I asked softly.
“I’m afraid there will be. No matter what there will be but if you realize your true potential you can save us all.” Ivy said sweetly.
"This is stupid." I laughed.
"I'm going to make you see through your dreams, Renee." She said as I walked away from her and went into the living room.


"We're not here to hurt you." Kayla said sweetly. I looked at her skeptically. I guess she noticed my uneasiness around her.
"On your word?" I asked. I knew vampires could never brake their word. Kayla knew that, too. I kept quiet, as Kayla thought how to rephrase her words.
"I will not harm you in your home." Kayla said weighing her words in her mind. I nodded to agree. She sighed, and I felt the energy in the air become calm. I could deal with that. She could never hurt me in my home.
"Why are you here?" I asked angrily.
"I'm here to take you back. Back to the council, they've excepted you. I want you to return home." Kayla said evilly. Return home?
"Kayla." My voice wavered with full emotions. "I... I want-"
Kayla stood up and took my hand in hers. "Come home, Renee." I took a deep breath to brace myself for the word I'd tell her. I never got to say it because Nick got to it first.
"No." Nick said as he entered the room. "You're not going with them. I can't let you." Suddenly, Nick flew across the room and into the wall. I looked at Kayla. Her hands were at her sides. I looked at Ivy. She was as motionless and surprised as Kayla. As were the others. In a burst of flames two people had entered the room, leaving chard marks on my hardwood floor.
Both, had dark brown hair, and blood on their lips. I shuttered at the sight of them. I knew them well. James, and Elizabeth. Elizabeth wore a a old fashion medieval dress with a pendant around her neck. James wore a tux with a knife strapped to his forearm. James hair was cut short. Elizabeth's was long and flowed around her head and shoulders.
"Renee, I hear you've been hang around the wrong crowd. It hurts me to find you, a young bloodline member of myself, hanging around a mutt." James hissed.
"He's not a mutt." I said glancing over my should at Nick. He lay on the floor unmoving. I knew better than to run to his side. Kayla would have a fit, and in front of James, the oldest living vampire in our line, if you can call what we do living.
Jame's, and his first fledgling, Elizabeth, was the last thing I expected to see at my house. Elizabeth had been the one to strike Nick, her arm was still raised. I couldn't stand it anymore. I rushed over to Nick. I fell to my knees at his side. I felt Elizabeth send a shock of energy at me, not to hurt me; but to tell me to get away. I could help it. I felt like this was my fault. I grabbed Nicks shoulder and shook him.
"Renee!" Kayla hissed angrily trying to call me back. I shook Nick harder. He looked up at me. There was a smile on his face.
"Hold on." He whispered weakly to me.
"Hold on?" I asked. He nodded.
"No!" Elizabeth growled. She sent her energy out to hit us. I squeezed my eyes shut and braced
