Beware Of Revenge. - Chalen D. (best mystery novels of all time .txt) 📗

not forgiven.
"guys." I said, shaking my head.
"Keep your comments to yourself." Tie said.
when i looked up they where all giving Preston the Death glare.
i couldn't blame them though they new what he did.
"Deven?" a voice called.
the voice was softer than honey and it and a natural pull.
i left my room, with out Marla knowing.
i had no control over my body. i just kept walking not really knowing where i was going. once i pushed open the wooden door everything went black.
When i woke up i was in a room i didn't know, a fire blazing. i was in a large bed in a white room.
"how could you?!" Preston yelled.
"your work is done, son, why are you so upset?" Benton said.
my stomach did a flip.
"i told you i wanted out!"
"you can never get out, calm down."
"how dare you manipulate her to coming to you!"
i felt sick.
"you weren't fast enough."
"i wasn't fast enough, cause i wasn't going to give her to you! i love her, why can't you just be happy? your my dad!"
"i am happy for you, but you know what's at stake here. if you where in love with someone else i'd gladly let you be, but this is more important."
"more important than your son!?"
"i'm sorry."
"god i hate you!"
there was a loud crash as something glass hit the floor shattering.
"calm down."
there was a thud, against the wall.
"i will not calm down, i just want you to know Revenge tastes sweet."
"just like the bitter taste of Betrayal?" Benton asked.
there was another thud and the door opened. i closed my eyes, and kept my breathing slow and calm. Which was pretty hard, when my pounding heart threatened to pop out of my chest at any second.
"Deven?"
"Preston what's going on?" i asked, sitting up.
he grabbed my hands. "i know your scared, but i'm going to get you out of here, i promise." he kissed my forehead and he was gone.
Benton came in with a cup.
"Miss Deven." he smiled, handing me the cup.
i tossed it, painting the white room, in smears of red.
"you'll come to your scenes." he said, leaving the room.
"please find me Evelon." i pleaded eyes closed.
i had a strange urge to lick the blood stained walls so i threw the blanket over my head, and tried to stay calm, and not give in.
"when ever your afraid, or someones far away, never give in." i sang to myself.
the smell was too much so i opened the window. i looked around and climbed out on to the roof. i went to the edge and looked down. sharp spikes where on the floor as far as a vampire could jump. i let out a breath, and thought about jumping right down, but then thought better of it. i went back to my room, and sat on the bed, when Benton came in and sat in a chair.
"why are you doing this?"
"you don't seem scared." he mused.
"because i'm not going to let you break me."
"we shall see."
just then the door flew open.
"what are you doing in hear?" Preston yelled.
i cringed at the sound.
"get out! don't talk to her!"
he picked up the chair with Benton still in it, and tossed it.
Benton stood. "you don't know what your doing."
"you don't get that i love her!" Preston screamed, raking his hands through my hair.
"so you'll pick a girl over your own father?"
"you'll pick a girl over your son's happiness?" Preston demanded.
Preston walked over to me and i didn't know i flinched until he turned back to his dad hate filled his eyes.
"now she's a afraid of me are you happy?"
"it's better, that way you won't miss her."
Preston hit the wall, sending his hand through it.
"you need to get out of here. i'll kill you before you take her away from me!"
"we'll see." Benton said, leaving.
"Deven." he said, taking a step to me.
fear must have been in my eyes, cause he slapped the door and left.
that night while in bed Preston came in and lay with me.
"leave."
"what?" he asked.
"i'm tearing you apart from your dad, just let him do what he needs to do."
"no, Deven, that's crazy look at me pleas."
"i'm broken Preston."
"let me fix you," i could hear the hurt in his voice.
"you care about your friends, and Gianna, you have a heart, i know i can help you. i'm here don't push me away."
"i'm scared." i said, a tear, rolling across my nose.
"please look at me."
"no."
"why?"
"cause i don't want you to see me cry."
"why?"
"Because it's a sign of weakness."
"Deven, you are the most brave and strong person i know. look how much you've been through! i'm not going any where, so when your ready,"
i turned and buried my face in his chest.
"we have to get out of here, if he drains my power, Evelon's gonna die."
"i'm working on an escape plan, sleep, your safe."
when i woke up Preston was sound asleep. i got up and opened the door. there was a broken vase, and a hole in the wall the shape of a head and shoulders, to big to be Preston's.
i walked down the hall, and got lost.
"i'm weak, i need to get Preston away from her so i can drain her power, before, she runs." Benton said. i took off down the hall my feet. as i ran i saw Preston walking down another hall, and i skidded to a stop.
"Preston!" i called.
he turned, and then was at my side, taking me in for a hug.
"what are you doing, walking around by yourself, you got a death wish?"
"he's weak."
"i know."
he grabbed my hand and pulled me down the hall. we went to the front gate.
"trying to escape?" a guy asked.
Tatum jumped down from a tree, and broke his neck. Tie opened the gate, and i flew into his arms.
"what's wrong with her?" i asked.
he was holding Evelon.
"you haven't really slept or drank so she's week." Robby said.
Marla and Bounce came over through the woods.
"couldn't keep them away." tie said.
"tie, hold Deven, she's too weak to run. Come on Tatum." Preston said, holding out his arm.
"i'm not letting you carry me.
"it's the fastest way, since you didn't want me to change you when i changed Robby and Tie."
Tatum held out her arm and Preston bit into it, then threw her over his shoulder and then they took off running.
after awhile we stopped.
"drink." tie said, giving me his arm, after he put me down.
"i'm not going to hurt you." i said. Tie moved and Preston kissed me.
He pulled away and shoved his wrist into my half open mouth. in shock i bit into his arm, the wonderful taste of blood erupting in my mouth.
"keep drinking." Preston, said through clenched teeth.
as i drank i became stronger and so did Evelon.
i moaned in protest as Robby ripped Preston's arm away from me.
"are you done?" Preston asked Tatum.
she nodded.
"lets go hurry." Preston said grabbing my hand.
we all ran back to the school.
i ran to Gianna's open arms.
"are you okay? i should of made sure the school shield was on." she said, pulling back to look at me.
"i'm good." then i turned on my friends.
"what is your problem you could of gotten killed!"
"how about a thanks guys!" Tatum said.
she backed up as i reached for, her but i din't stop until she was in my arms in a hug.
"thank you."
"all in a day's work." she said, hugging me tighter.
"he's going to come back and he's going to come back strong i just don't know when, he's week so we should strike now, but people could get hurt." Preston said.
"then I'll go with Gianna." i said.
"no!" they all said.
"are you forgetting my gift? i'd die if something happened to you guys."
"i'll go i know the way."
we all went back to Benton's place.
" well, well, come to finish me off Princess?" Benton asked, when we found him.
"do you want to leave?" i asked, raising my hand.
Hate showed in Preston's eyes, as he grabbed my hand and pointed it at his father.
with in a couple of seconds he was dust.
Preston Swept him up.
"he was my father, i'm going to bury him."
"Gianna i'll meet you at home." i said.
Preston grabbed my hand and led me to a grave, that said nevermore.
he put the ashes in and buried them.
he stepped back and grabbed my hand. we stood there looking at the grave.
"let's go."
i kissed my hand and then the grave.
"i'm sorry." i whispered.
"Deven?" Preston called.
i ended someone's life, that was bad, and trying to kill me and for some reason i felt bad about it.
i sat on the grave.
"you okay?" Preston asked.
"i feel bad."
"he had it coming.
He pried me from the grave and he ran.
i stared at the grave until it was out of sight.
