The beast within us all... by Lauren Colman (motivational books for women .TXT) 📕

tone," All I want is ...........................................................you darling..."

The darkness voice replayed in my mind, at the moment all I could think of was him and the need to return to him, I wandered down the shabby graffitied alleyway then without warning my feet continued ont their own to livedevil lair, the darkness lair. The door appeared, then I was drawn in, there sat on his thrown was the darkness...Drake. His dark hair was longer than the last time I had seen him, I was the only person who he let cut his hair, he wasn't the boy I remembered, the good one but now he let power corrupt him. His violet eyes looked upon me and he whispered," Elena, my love, you have returned to me," I looked at him with disgsut, I may have mere powers but I can sure pack one killer punch and well me with a weapon... unstoppable unless a freak was to interupt. We were all freaks and kind of stuck together but rarely you got groups with normal people, but there were plenty her but yet still plenty with powers but they all shared one thing in common. Either their minds were twsited or they were under drakes influence, he was extrememly powerful and no one dared to cross him except the bernardetes well their nickname was nadetes. They were equally powerful but no one as powerful as drake.

My eyes blurred, I was laid on a bed, changed as well. Out of my old grubby clothes and into my favourite piece of clothing, how could someone know this? I looked at my white jumpsuit, it had thin straps and went in tightly at the waist and ankles, It still clung to my body. It had green apples and cherries on, my favourite food, my small feet were in fluffy socks, aqua blue and baby pink. The bed was comfortable but I was attatched to the bed with a chain, it was clasped on my left ankle. It had no lock so I couldn't pick at it, metal bender was all I thought, I tried my powers but none worked. I felt weak and useless and it was that boy who had me last, why did he want me and how did he know about my home ? The wooden door opened, I heard a lock being unlocked, I tried to get off the bed but I felt frozen as the boy walked in. He had the playful look on his face, now I slightly regreated having no one as there would be no one to help me but myself. I felt awkward as he stared at me, I knew because of his age he would be looking at me different, I think he was sixteen. I am fifteen not sixteen yet but soon, you would think growing up in a home full of young men, I would be comfotable but to be honest I wasn't. Lost in my thoughts he said," Sixteen," I looked back at him, now he had my attention, I was too frightened to say a word. All he did was smirk down at me, the walked closer to the bed, the door was closed and locked. I shuffled away from him, his grin widened, I only hoped he couldn't see the fear on my face which I felt. He sat on the bed, pinned me down, he was sat on me, holding both my hands in one of his, which was easily done as mine were small and delicate. He was still smiling then he said," Were going to have a nice little chat, so darlin, why did you knock down my building,"

I looked at him blankily then stuttered in a timid voice," What-what do-do you mean..." He narrowed his eyes then didn't smile and vicously said," You crashed down my building, good people dies because of you!" His voice became more seductive and he purred," Darlin it was you, after all who could mistake you with your exotic beauty,"

The nameless boy frightened me to my core, without my powers all my courage had drained away and I felt so defenseless. The boys head twisted to the side then he causually said," The names jake longsbro and yours is..." I didn't reply and his grip tightened each second till I chocked out," Rosabelle catrin," I cowarded away from him, he let go of me but still sat on top of me, watching with a hawks eye.

Drake looked at me, he seemed distracted and slightly worried, which was unnusual, he tapped his fingers on his thrown then barked at micah," Get that boy now, I need to know about the savent net, get someone in or else..." He let the threat linger there, there were worse things than being caught by another group, I had never heard of the savent net, mabye it was new ? Drakes power was having affect on me, my feet walked towards him and unwillingly I sat on his lap as he cuddled me. He roughly grabbed me by the hair then threw me to the floor and yelled," Listen you bitch, don't you ever leave or I will make you kill yourself in the slowest way imaginable..." I shuddered at the memory if chunk, he had betrayed him and it wasn't a pretty death, his fingers were cut off on his right then his toes on his feet, his ears, he was stabbed, drowned then killed in a slow burning fire. I forgot to metion that drake ordered chunk to do this to himself, he cried the whole time and screamed for help but we all stood there like the monsters we are. We all had come from all different places but like the nadetes we started from a school, the bernadetes turned into the nadetes and gained people on the way but this group was different. Drake had always been the leader and he came from liverdale school and people joined him, he was good once, but his powers corrupted him, I don't even think he has a heart but if he does I'm sure it doesn't beat. I had never wanted to be here but his powers got stronger and one day he just saw me and decided it was me to join him, why me though, I have no idea. I stayed on the floor but sat up, I watched him, he wasn't looking at me but was talking to micah and he rushed out. I was left alone with drake and he's one person I didn't want to be left alone with, fury burned in his eyes but I knew what he was going to do next...

I looked at rosabelle, her frightened diamand like eyes looked straight back at me, she was the one who knocked down my building but I now know that she was aiming for someone else, kyle riverside. He was pretty pathetic, a spineless weasel but he had strong followers and that was the down side, rosabelle was looking at me. I had taken her powers away, just for now. I gave her direct eye contact then said," I'm so glad, I rescued you, I was worried sick and missed you lots, what were you thinking? Risking your life for your family, the nadetes." I hugged her close then felt my power slowly working, like snow slowly drifting and changing her memories. Making her think, that she was a nadete, that she needed protecting, that she was one of us.

I cuddled jake then smiled, I never wanted to leave him, I was laid on a spare bed, wearing a pretty jumpsuit. I was so glad jake rescued me, it was so stupid of me to go looking around for somewhere safe for all of us to stay, I had come across an underground base but a boy had lived there and obviously didn't want to share but my jakie saved me. I rubbed my sore head then complained in a high pitched hurt voice," My head hurts," I pouted then he kissed my head better. I had no idea what I would do without him or my family, as I couldn't fight whats so ever. I did have powers but they weren't that good, not made for fighting and jake didn't want me to get hurt. He picked me up in his strong warm arms and I rested my head against his chest then closed my eyes. I woke up in the new place, guessing a room which was going to be mine and jakes. A young girl with jakes green eyes and bright blonde hair ran in giggling, I picked her up and swung her around. I loved lil to pieces, I felt like she was my sister rather than jakies. I sat her on the bed then looked for a DVD to put on, for us to watch, I picked her favourite. The beauty and the beast, the story seemed vaugly similar to something but I couldn't quite put my finger on it.

I heard drake call me, I climbed of the bed but then I felt sickness coming. The puke slowly made its way up my throat then in a quick dash I ran to the bathroom. I curled over the stomach, my hands resting on the clean white toliet seat and emptied the contents of my stomach, I felt someone pull my hair back and I rested limply against the seat. The room was spinning, black dots merging into the room, the smell of sick was over whelming, like rotting meat and sour milk just foul. In the toliet, orangy chunks floated and I shuddered and backed away from it. Recently I had been sick a lot, I had no idea why either, I faced micah and smiled a weak smile and thanked him. His worried eyes narrowed then he questioned," Are you ok?" I nodded then just walked into my room. I fell into the soft red bed and closed my eyes...
