The Ones Left Behind by K Lime (best e reader for academics .txt) 📕

through the halls before escaping to our burial chambers. While it does take a lot to kill a vampire we still can die and our bodies dont just disolve or something like many people think. We just look dead like any other human So since we need a place to bury our dead as well, many covens wil build buriall mosuleums. This one was built with the help of my brother's coven before he was killed. Most of his coven along with a few of mine are burried here already. Inside the chambers I lay her on the stone alter that is in the center of the main room. I would have to come and take care of her later but now was not the time. I would have to go tell her family and see if they had any plans for her first. I close the doors to any other rooms and then close the final door back towards the entrance on my way out. I start the long downhill walk to my house leaving her behind in the darkness. I had to tell her family but first I need a drink.  Our Angel

Bran's POV

 

I hadn't seen Kry at all yet today and it was nearing time for school to be over. As a matter of fact not she or any of David's group were there at lunch. It was a little odd but I hadn't let it bother me. I pull out my phone and text my little sister. After almost ten minutes with no reply, I call her, it goes to voicemail after a few rings. There was something wrong. Kry always answers her phone as soon as she can and she would have sent me a text if she were in class.

 

I head through the halls that are starting to fill with students leaving their last classes and I make my way out to my car. I free my keys from my pocket and unlock the door to my 2010 Mustang. It isn't amazing compared to some of the cars lining the parking lot but it is a car and it runs. I set my bag in the backseat before turning aound and starting my car. I pull from the parking spot and onto the little road through the parking lot that leads out to the main road. At the main road, instead of turning left to head towards The Heights were I live, I turn right towards the lower class side of town. David lived way out on the outskirts this way. If she was anywhere it was near him. The businesses I drive past begin to slowly turn into houses until I am passing house after house made of various materials letting me know I am past the subdivisions. Finally I come to a four way to the left there are a few trailer parks and to the right there are some farms, i continue to drive straight knowing I am heading right towards the cliffs.

 

The cliffs finally come into my view and I notice that the countryside out in this area is very beautiful. I pulll in at a nice looking house that is a solid white done in panels. There is a car parked in the driveway with several motercycles parked in the garagge. David and his friends were here so it didn't make any since that my sister wasn't answering her phone.

 

I put my car in park and turn off the engine before getting out and walking up to the door. I knock before patiently waiting. After knocking a second and then a third time I try the door. It is unlocked, a common thing for many vampire homes as many people wont intrude and if they do they usually have a good reason. I hear the sound of a TV and make my way down the hall to what appears to be a game room and a sitting area. There are people in various states of lying or sitting on couches or chairs while a few people are playing a fround of pool. My sister is not among the group but Sam looks up at me. Her eyes are red and puffy as though she has been crying. She looks from me to David who is nursing a glass of whiskey. David looks up at me and I see that his eyes are also red. Looking from the faces of the people in the room all of them have slightly red eyes and are in various states of drunkeness.

 

David stands and throws back his drink before gesturing for me to follow him. They must have lost a coven member I think to myself sadly. They probably took my sister home and she just fell asleep. I follow David as he leads me outside and out towards a building on a hill. It looks nice on the outside but it is made of stone. I realize he is taking me to the mosuleum. I wasn't close to any of the coven but maybe it would be easier for him to speak away from his coven. He slows down to allow me to catch up and match his pace. Suddenly at the bottom of the hill he stops and looks at me.

 

"How well do you like Tobias?" He asks me quietly.

 

"Not well, why?" I ask.

 

"How much do you love your sister?"

 

"I love her as though she were my sister David. She may only be my half sister but I still love her."

 

"And if Tobias hurt her?"

 

"I would hurt him."

 

"You know he turned Mandy don't you?"

 

"She was a virgin before him?"

 

"Apparently so. Marko was going to turn her and she was going to be in our coven but Tobias got her first."

 

"I see."

 

"Who took your sisters?"

 

"Well you did as far as I know."

 

"You're right, I did. Last night. But somebody else had hoped that I hadn't and thought that they would take it today."

 

"What are you saying?"

 

"Come."

 

He turns and begins to walk up the hill. I stare after him before running to catch up with him. I grab his shoulder to stop him.

 

"David what are you saying? Somebody raped my little sister?"

 

He pulls away from me and continues walking before stopping in front of the door. He unlocks it and opens it. He walks in and I follow shutting the door behind me as he turns on lights in the room. He lturns on the light for the main room and gestures for me to follow him. I hadn't been inside a mosuleum bore but this must be one of the nicer ones. He stops before a large door and turns to look at me. He sighs and pushes open the door before stepping back. I look in the room and see that it is empty. I walk in and look around before looking at him as if there is something I am supposed to see.

 

"David?" I ask him.

 

He looks up and glances from me to the alter. When he sees the alter his eyes widen and he storms into the room. He stares at the alter in what can only be disbelief.

 

"Your sister was lying here two hours ago. Tobias killed her."

 

"What?" I choke out.

 

"He took her after first hour and lead her down the the older part of the school that is off limits. He drug her into a storage closet and locked them both inside. It was key to key so she couldn't have gotten out. From what I can tell he drank enough of her blood that she was unable to fight him. Maybe even was passed out. He raped her and she was bleeding. He mistook the blood for her being a virgin. Well that wasn't good enough for him...He took her elsewhere too."

 

"You mean to tell me that that bastard raped my sister and killed her and you didn't even bother to tell me until hours later!?" I shout at him furiously.

 

"I was going to meet up with her and walk her to second hour but she wasnt around. Angel, the little human girl, told me what had happened and I found my way to them. When I got to them it was already too late. I busted down the door and Tobias was standing and he told me he took her virginity. I said that I had already taken it and he said I hadn't taken all of them. I looked at her and she was covered in blood and blood was smeared across her thighs so it didn't leave much to wonder about. He kicked her leg and it gave me a better view of how badly she was hurt. I drank from him and made him leave before I checked on her. She was still bleeding from both places and her neck was covered in blood. I tried to give her my blood but it was already too late. She died in my arms Brandon."

 

I feel myself fall to the floor in shock. Tobias had raped my sister and when that wasn't enough he brutalized her as well. David had done all he could do and even brought her here to give her a proper farewell. Why wasn't she here now? What happened to her?

 

"Where is she now?"

 

"I don't know. The air in here is different than it was when I left her. It doesn't smell of death either. We need to search the building for her. Come, the others are coming and we will find her."

 

After a short wait the door opens and David's members walk in. David walks to the door and locks it before turning on the security system which will prevent anyone from getting out. He tells us it is just a precaution. We split up and search through the halls in pairs. Sam and I head through the door closest to us. It contains the newest buried. David heads on his own down the last door. The oldest are through there, Sam tells me. His brother's coven is mainly in that room as well along with his brother and his parents. I nod sadly. It was more likely that she was in the halls with us instead of with him which meant he was just going to open old wounds.

 

David's POV

 

I knew it was more likely that if Kry were still alive she would have gone into the newer halls and not these. This makes me question what I am even doing here but the air here smells different too just like in the main room. I wind my way through the twists and turns making my way to the farthest part of the hall. My parents and brother and both in that last room in glass cases to preserve them. I will be buried there as well and my children, if I have any, will be buried in the room beside that. What greets me is not what I expected. Sitting on top of my brothers tomb talking away to what appear to be the ghost of my family members is Kry. Perfectly safe, beautiful, breathing, alive Kry. As I walk in my mother smiles and looks at me. Father does the same but Jacob pushes Kry in my direction.
