the same metal thing. Nickolas hit it too. He pushed himself against it. It didn't move. He dove down I looked below to see him, but the water was too dark to see through. Nickolas came swimming up and rammed into the metal. He hit it and it opened. Not because of him. Someone had opened it. Ivy's face was gleaming at us through the bright light behind her. She stood aside as I climbed out of the water and into the small room. It was lit by two candles which Ivy had brought with her.
"Kayla said you'd be down here. I was hoping she was wrong." Ivy said as she helped Nickolas out. Thane came swimming up to the door.
"Is the coast clear?" He joked. I ringed out my hair and sat on the floor as Thane came up. I sat still as everyone began to move around. Ivy and Nickolas chatted quietly. Thane sat beside me.
"What now, boss?" He asked seriously. I looked at him. I like the way it rolled off his tongue. It felt right.
"Now, we have fun." I said as I stood up and took out my dagger. I was ready to fight. Nickolas caught the glitter of the metal against the light and withdrew his own knife. Ivy noticed too and reached into her back holders. She withdrew two swords. They were small so they could be placed on your body without being noticed. They were mine! Well they were hers, but she gave them to me as a gift. Now she had taken them back.
"Thane, do you have any weapons?" Ivy asked.
He shook his head. "I don't, but I have claws and teeth." He said grinning wildly
"That's good enough for now." I said happily. "Let's go." I slipped out of the small storage room, and into a hall with a lot of doors. The doors were all dark brown wood. The walls were plain except for a few paintings. The walls were painted black. The floor was made of wood. There was a long red carpet in the center of the hall that ran all the way to the other side. I quickly glided to the other end of the hall. There were stairs. They were wide stair with. I waited for them to catch up. This time Josh was with them.
"Just swimming around down there." I joked. He just glared at me. He was soaking wet. His clothes were dripping water. His hair was stuck to him, and it was dripping too. I smiled at him.
"Don't even say it." He growled at me. I kept my mouth shut.
"Let's do this." Nickolas said as he took the first few steps up the stairs. He looked back at me and the others.
"Let's go." I said as I began to ascend the stairs. They followed me. After we got to the second floor, we had to get to the second stair case that was in the library two doors down. I didn't think there would be anyone on this level. I step off the stairs right into a vampire.
"Oh... I'm sorry sir." I apologized making sure not to look up to meet his gaze. I stared at his shoes. They were dark. A light black actually, it was like a dark gray. The man didn't move aside. He stood still, holding his ground. "Excuse me." I mumbled as I stepped aside. He stepped into the path in front of me.
"Renee?" He asked. If my blood could run cold, it would have. I felt my body go ridged.
"Yes?" I answered shakily. Suddenly, his arms were around me. I gasped as he lifted me off the ground. I would have done something, but my arms were trapped. His body went limp and he fell to the floor. I looked up. Josh had hit him with the blunt end of a candlestick. He dropped it.
"I'm sorry. I thought he was going to hurt you." He said when he noticed how ridged my body was.
"He wasn't." Ivy informed us.
"Who is he?" Nickolas whispered.
"Why are you whispering?" I asked him. He looked at me as if I was stupid.
"Duh. Were trying to kill the leader of this organization!" He yelled. I laughed uncontrollably.
"Shh. You're going get us caught." I said between fits of hysteria.
"Let's just do this and get out of here." Stephanie said uneasily.
"Just go. I don't need you anymore." I told her. I could tell she was starring at me even though I didn't look at her. I looked straight ahead of me and walked on. I knew she wouldn't follow. She'd turn around and walk out. She always did as she was told. I glided into the library with ease. It was a small library, but it held the most valuable documents of vampires. Everything from the signatures of the council to their war plans. I would have stopped and grabbed them, but we needed to avoid guards. I was surprised to see there weren't any here. Just like the halls, it was almost empty except for a few vampires I didn't know. The library was filled with book shelves that held almost no books at all. It was weird how things worked.
"Ivy!" One of the vampires in the room I didn't recognize, yelled at us. I kept walking. I knew Josh, and Nickolas would do the same. Ivy would stop and talk to this vampire; who ever it may be. I made my way to the stairs. It was a simple stair case. Just a old metal spiral stair case that would lead its users to the third floor. It' railing was a smooth, cold, metal cylinder.
"Are you sure we should do this?" Josh asked me. Honestly I didn't know. If I went in, and I was killed it'd be over for my side of the war. We'd slowly crumble. I sighed. If I didn't go in there this war could go on for months maybe even years!
"I can't do this." I said quietly. Nickolas looked at me as I stepped off the stairs. Even though I wasn't looking at him I knew he was looking at me dumbly.
"W..wh..what?" Josh asked nervously.
"Where not going in?" Nickolas asked disappointed. I nodded and turned to them.
"If we do this now it could mean we never get to finish the war." I said lightly. They nodded. I sighed loudly. There was a sudden creak. It was the sound of the door behind me opening
"Renee, leaving so soon?" Kayla asked me. I turned toward her.
"No." I snapped sourly at her. I looked over my shoulder where Josh, and Nickolas stood. I began to walk into her office. She followed after me. The room was dark, a light shone through some blinds. I took a few steps expecting Josh, and Nickolas to follow. Suddenly, the door slammed behind me.
"No boy's allowed." Kayla laughed as she locked the door. I couldn't see well in the dark room. I could hear, and I hoped that would be enough. "Renee, it's just you and me." She said coldly. I froze. It was force of habit. A human habit, it was like breathing.
"Kayla-" I hissed as a sudden gust of wind came towards me. I ducked. I heard glass shatter. What ever she threw at me must have hit a window or glass. I went to find the shards of glass. I found a large piece of glass. It sliced open my hand;it had roses in it. I hissed at the pain, suddenly something hit me in my back. It sliced open my shirt. I picked up the shards of glass and threw them to when the object that had hit my back had come from.
"You little brat!" Kayla hissed as the glass hit her.
"I am what I am." I laughed as I heard a whooshing noise. I fell to the floor as something flew over me. I caught a glimpse of a sword as it fell beside me. I grabbed it and tossed it back at her. She hissed in rage as it struck her.
"I'll kill you if its the last thing I do!" She growled. There was a loud thump at the door. It was like someone was slamming against it. It was loud maybe two bodies were doing it. Nickolas, and Josh would try to get in and help me, wouldn't they? "Your pets are coming for you?" Kayla asked.
"Shut up." I growled as I moved towards the door. Something else flew over me. I quickly scrambled over the floor to the door. Thuds kept coming from it. Don't do it... just do it. I argued in my head.
I found the door. I slowly stood up so she couldn't hear me. I scanned the door with my fingertips looking for the door handle. My finger bumped into the doorknob. It was a cold smooth metal. I found the lock. I wrapped my fingers around it. I knew I'd have to do this fast. The second she heard the click of the door unlocking she'd throw a weapon my way. I quickly turned the lock. Click. I turned the door quickly, and tugged it open. I looked into the room as light flooded it's way into the room.
I looked over to where Kayla was. She was gone. I sighed in relief as I looked up to see Josh standing over me protectively as Nickolas searched the room. I watched him search the room carefully. He didn't find anything. He only confirmed my thoughts.
"She's not here anymore." Nickolas said as he relaxed against a wall. I nodded and got up. I looked at the place where the glass had cut my skin. It was still bleeding. It still stung. Josh noticed me admiring it.
"How'd you get that?" He asked me nonchalantly. I looked up at him, and smiled innocently.
"Just fell on some glass." I laughed. He stared at me as if I was crazy. I turned my gaze away from him and to something that sparkled before my eye.
"Glass?" He asked me. I looked unhappily at him. "Glass wont hurt you." He was puzzled. I sighed. Anything with roses add to the metal or glass could hurt us.
"There was a mix of roses in it." I said as I saw a bright light. It was like metal hitting a beam of sunlight. There was a sudden whooshing sound. It was something flying through the air. It was like a sword or a dagger. It hit my arm. I yelled in pain and crumbled to the floor. It was more than I could handle. It was like being stabbed over and over in the same spot. I clutched at my arm. I yanked the small weapon out of my forearm. I dropped the dagger to the floor and squeezed my wound.
"Nickolas!" Josh yelled. I tried to sit up, but it hurt too bad to even move. It hurt worse than any pain I had ever gone through. I gritted my teeth as the pain turned from hurtful to burning. I could hear my fangs sharping.
"Yeah?" Nickolas asked unconcerned from across the room.
"She's hurt." Josh said quietly as another figure came in the room. It was Ivy. The pain shot through me with every breath so I stopped breathing. I wanted to cry out in pain but forced myself to stay quiet. Nickolas looked up from where he was searching.
"How bad?" He asked as
