All For you by R.S. Vargas (the best electronic book reader .txt) 📕

They flinched even though they had learned that I had complete control over my powers.
"Don't go," Thane said coldly. "I... I command you to stay here." I let a short laugh pass through my lips.
"Command me?" I hissed at him. He might be my general, but he could not forbid me to do anything I wished to do.
"Your will never be one of us! You are different and special. Even if you wanted to you couldn't be like us." Thane said coldly. His words stung me hard. I had felt like I had belong the last few day after learning everything I had to that dealt with my newly founded power. I realized he was right I was different. A creature Kayla had made. I decided that moment I was going to leave and find her. I would demand a cure. She had supplied me the drugs to make me this way and I was sure she had the drugs that could take this away.
"Maybe I'm not, but at least I want to help! If it wasn't for me where would you all be!?" I was angry and taking it out on everyone. "You'd be in a war fighting each other or others of my kind!" I hissed as I stormed off to the house I had been in shortly before.
I flung the door open and grabbed a piece of paper where I wrote very carefully the note that would resign my position.
My memory was flooding back. It was like waking up from a bad dream to find yourself in your bed instead of a pot of fire.
"I'm so sorry!" I apologized to Thane. He shook his head and looked up at me.
"You remember?" He asked astonished. I nodded happily. He embraced me in a hug. "I've missed you." I sighed and tried to pry myself free of him.
"How long was I gone?" I asked quietly as he released me. He shook his head. I recalled it was a way to clear his mind.
"A year, and a half. We had given up the search and plans for the attack. All except Ivy, who had been looking for you since you left." He shook his head. "I didn't believe you were alive when she called me."
"Well, I am." I said smugly.
"Lady Vargas?" Nickolas asked. "We have a small problem. You have to go back to your home us."
"Why?" Thane, and I said in unison. He didn't answer our question. Nickolas grabbed my wrist, and transported us to my room.
I fell to the floor as I tried to jerk out of his grip. He still had my wrist, and pulled me back so I jerked me to my feet. I knew he was only trying to protect me like he had so many times before. I remembered everything. My training, my argument with Kayla, my plans, Nickolas and I finding other alliances, the fight, my run in with Kayla, and everything else.
"Why are we here?" I growled. He hesitated as if he was afraid to tell me anything. "Nickolas, I remember everything. How hard do you think it would be for me to throw you across the room?" I asked as I forced him to his knees with my mind.
"You do remember?" He asked as if he was hoping to avoid my question.
"Nickolas, answer the question." I growled. My patience was running low, and unlike him I wouldn't hesitate.
"Lady Vargas," He said sadly. "I have had the pleasure of knowing you for my whole life and I know Kayla. She will continue to hunt you. If she finds you with us, she will know you remember and kill you." He was talking to me not as a friend, but as an officer. I didn't like it.
"I know your trying to be protect m, but please don't speak that way to me." I said coldly. "I'm not your commanding officer. I left to get away."
"But you have to come back!" Nickolas said pleadingly. "We need you! Kimberly, and Kendalie haven't come since you left." I knew who he was talking about. The two twin witches from the Cole Clan.
"They've given up on the cause! Please, come back." Nickolas pleaded as he bent his head down.
"Get up, Nickolas." I said friendly but a bit of sorrow was still in my voice. I relaxed my finger tips to allow him to get up. He did as I commanded. He was still sad. I could see it in his face.
"I will go back to my position but stop acting like a solider." I offered. A smile lit his face. I couldn't help but smile.
"Yes, Renee." He said happily. I smiled. "We should get you to the Cut."
"Why?" I asked stupidly.
"The war council will be looking for you. I can't transport you. I need to regain my power or I wont have any at all." I understood, and nodded.
"We'll have to go to take the long way." I agreed.
"Yes, we should start right away." He suggested. I nodded, I quickly made my way to my window. It was still open. I sat on the edge, and swung my legs out. I hopped off the ledge, and into the air.
I sliced through the air as I fell. I land hard on the ground. I quickly walked to the edge of the yard as Nickolas followed me. The grass sprung back up from where we had stood on it. Nickolas rushed to my side.
He began to run the second he hit the forest line. I quickened my pace to match his. I ran by his side, dodging trees and stumps that leaped in front of me. I had forgotten how it felt to bolt through the forest. We ran to the river that flowed through my territory. It looked calm, but we knew the current could take us. The Cut was miles away but the river would take us to where we needed to go.
"After you." I said gesturing to the water. He shook his head.
"After you, I insist." He said as he grabbed my shoulder. I shook my head and moved his hand off me. He took it as a playful way. He grasped my waist and lifted me over his shoulders.
"No!" I hissed as he tossed me into the air. I had no choice.
I dove into the water. My body hit the water hard making a sickening sound. The cold water surrounded me as I sank into the water. I was fully emerged, when I heard the splash of Nickolas entering the river. I couldn't see through the murky. I felt the current flow around me. It swallowed me and took me with it. It was hard to fight it. It swirled me around and dragged me down the river. I went deeper into the water. I stilled tried to escape the current. I finally broke the current and escaped. I swam for the surface. It look so promising. I stretched my hand in front of me pushing me forward. I fingers broke the surface soon followed by my head and shoulders.
I felt a hand on my shoulder. I remained calm and turned around to see Nickolas. His hair was even darker. He tried to shake his hair free of the water but it did no good. I pushed my hair out of my face so I was able to see fully.
"Stop that." I said as he tried to push me under. I shook him off and began to swim down the river. I was a good swimmer, but I preferred the land. I swam faster, and faster. I wasn't tired, but I stopped. Not because Nick had told me to but I felt like there was something wrong. I sensed the wrongness in the air as the cold crept up my bones.
"Renee-" Nick managed to say before I was swept under the water. I was fully submerged in the dark water, again. I tried to swim to the surface, but I couldn't move. I focused on moving my limbs. I placed all my energy toward moving them.
When I failed, I hung my head. There was a faint scream. It became stronger, and asserted itself over the gushing water that held me in place. It was weird. The water was flowing around me, keeping me in place not dragging me with it. I heard a faint female scream, again.
I hated not being able to move, but I couldn't help it. I wasn't in control. I needed to get free or at least have Nickolas drag me out of the water. I somehow opened my mouth. Water came gushing in. My eyes flared, looking for something to grab on to. Suddenly, there was a hand in view. My muscles strained as I reached out for the hand.


Chapter 5. Cut Hospital
(Josh & Renee)
There was a girl in the river. She wasn't struggling or anything. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. She wasn't even getting swept away by the current. She was just swimming in the river. I only saw her, and another girl walking towards the river. She was screaming. I covered my ears as I stood there. Her hair was as black as the night. A cloak flared around her. I realized her screams were more like a Raven's call.
I glanced to the girl in the river. She looked as if she was frozen. She wasn't moving in the water. She was just there. I thought she was drowning. My mind raced as i decided to rescue the girl.
I ran down the bank and looked over my shoulder. Stephanie wasn't following. I shook it off and sprinted into the water. It was cold. I dove into the water, and swam toward the girl. She looked stunned, and frozen in place. I reached out for her. If she didn't grab my hand, I'd have to resurface for air. I was already running out of oxygen. Luckily, she grabbed my hand.
I pulled her to the surface. She choked and, gasped for air. I pulled her to shore. She was dazed, and not able to walk. I stumbled out of the water as she leaned against me as I helped her onto the bank. The girl who had been on the other side of the river had disappeared. I laid the girl, I had rescued, onto the beach.
I looked curiously at the girl from the river. Her chest wasn't rising or falling. I was afraid that she had been under for too long.
"Stephanie!" I yelled in panic. "She's not breathing!" I didn't know what to do. I looked at her. She was pale and her lips were turning blue. I looked up when I heard someone coming. It wasn't Stephanie. It wasn't even a girl. It was a boy around my age. He was soaking wet. I recognized him right away from my dreams, Nick.
"What are you doing? Who are you?" He asked me angrily. He pushed me away.
"Renee?" He asked to the girl that I had laid on the bank. He sat beside her shaking her gently. There was no reaction.
Was that really her? Could that honestly be the girl I was looking for, but I had no idea why? Renee? Had I rescued her? Or was I too late?
"Is she dead?" I asked as her lips turned into a darker shade of blue. I felt
