Kiss me if you Dare - Anna S. (best books to read for success .TXT) 📗

followed Louis quietly through the forest. He held my hand most of the way to guide me on where I was going. While holding his hand I felt a connection flow between me and him. Like he was giving me off energy and me giving him. We walked a few miles before he looks over at me giving me an indication that it was safe to speak.

            “Why you’d come?” I asked releasing my hand from his.

            “I need something from the inside too.” He looks at me. “I need revenge.”

            “Oh. I see.” I say. I guess I was expecting a different answer I thought to myself.

            “I also felt like I needed to help you, kid.” He smiles. “I mean, Elsa.”

            “Thanks.” I smiled back and hugged him. He paused for a second then softens up and hugged me back.

            “Okay. Now I know where the PIC is located.” He gives me a folded out paper.

            I took it clicking my flashlight on, seeing a well-drawn map of the place in front of me.

            “Here’s where were getting in.” He pointed towards an air vent in the drawing. “Walking toward this way. Then we’re in. I’ll look out for you as you will look out for me. We’ll walk this way and then, here, is where they keep some securities. We’ll get them and then we’re in.”  He finishes.

            “Got it.” I nod.

            “Follow me.” He smirks.

            I turned off my flashlight and followed him.

            We walked a few steps before we reached a tall electrified fence. Louis pulled his hands together and twisted them as a huge hole quickly was made onto the fence. He looked back at me and smiled.

            “Ladies first.” He waves me through.

            “Thanks.” I smiled.

            The air vent was very large it fit both me and him side to side. Our shoulders rubbed against each other as we slowly crawled on the air vent. When we were out, I did what I least expected to do, I took some of the guys down. Louis helped me through most of them. Louis stopped walking and backed up by the wall.

            “As much as I hate this. We need to split up.” I say.

He looked at me.

            “Absolutely not.” He argued. “If they get you, you’ll be stuck here again.”

            “Louis, I’m ready. I need to do this fight on my own.” I began.

            “Elsa, I know you’re strong. But I don’t think its best if we slip up.”

            “Just go find whatever you’re looking for and I’ll go for what I’m looking for.”

            He glanced at me and then breathed out.

            “Please, Louis. I don’t want to hold you back.” I whispered. I looked at the two hallways the separated into different paths. I started to walk towards my path as Louis quickly grabbed my hand and spins me around. I stood inches away from his face.

            “This isn’t the end. Promise me, we’ll meet here an hour from now?”

            I looked into his eyes, knowing he felt that connection with me. I smiled.

            “I promise.” Honestly, I didn’t know whether I’d be coming back, but I had to promise him or else he’d come with me.

            “Okay.” He hugs me.

            “Bye, Louis.” I looked at him and slowly kissed the side of his cheeks.

            I turned around and walked forward. I glared back seeing Louis walk his way, he looked alert, watching his every move as he got further away. I looked forward, being careful on where I was going. With each step I took I looked over my shoulders making sure I wasn’t being followed.

            Thinking of immortality makes me feel uneasy. Catherin will grow old, get married, have kids, be a grandmother, but me, I’ll stay seventeen forever. I will never grow old, I will never have kids, never truly moving anywhere. But drinking the PIC is what I needed, it wasn’t my fault I turned out this way. People will come by and move on with their lives when I’m still who I am, or who I was. A small tear escaped my eyes as I looked to my side seeing a door wide open, the room light was on. I turned and walked towards it making sure no one was around.

            It felt strange that no one was in the halls but at the same time made me think that maybe they were all in the woods looking for me. As I entered the room, it reminded me when I was here. The chair, the bed and everything around it.

            “Help! Please.” A female’s voice came from my right.

            When I turned my head, I saw Chloe. Her hair was a mess and her eyes were swollen. She looked older, it’s been two years now and she was thirteen. She banged the cage room she was in.

            “Chloe?” I spoke running towards her. When I reached her there was a huge lock on the room.

            “Please, help. I’d been here for two years.” She cried.

            “Calm down. I’m Elsa. I think I’m like you.”

            “You’re a werewolf too?” She whispers. I looked up at her.

            “No. But have you already had your transformation?”

            “No. They’re keeping me here until I do. I only transform half way.” She confesses.

            “Move back.” I ordered as she moved back.

            I pulled my hands to the closed lock looking opening my palm as a flicker of energy hits the lock opening it.  

            “Watch out!?” Chloe yells. I quickly looked behind me as something hit me in the head blacking me out.

            Slowly opening my eyes I felt myself tied between ropes. I tired moving my body realizing I was chained to a chair. Panicking, I looked to my side seeing Chloe cry as she shook her head looking at me. Two large men stood by the door as one of them noticed I was awake.

            “She’s awake.” The tall dark guy called to someone outside.

            “Well, well.” Dr. Russell walks into the room, hands together as he looked towards me. “Welcome back, Elsa McCoy. It’s been three years.”

            “You haven’t changed a thing.” I say sarcastically in disgust.

            “And you haven’t either.” He smiles. “We’ve been looking for you. You’re a hard puppy to find.”

            “I try my best.” I faked a smile.

            “I’m guessing you haven’t met the person that transformed you.” Dr. Russell says waving towards the door. When I looked Edwin stood on the doorway, narrow eyes looking at me as he smiled.

            “Edwin?” I say surprised.

            “Ah. The ancient puppy knows my name.” He smirks.

            “She dreamed of you.” Says the young looking dude by the door.

            “I see.” He looks at me. “Then I’m guessing you know a little bit about me.”

            “How does he know that?” I asked looking at the man standing a few inches before me.

            “You see, Elsa. If you dreamed of me, that man can see everything that passes through your head since you were born.” He walks towards me and slowly bends to be inches before my face. “He’s like you.” He touches my cheeks as I turned away.

            “You disgust me.” I whispered.

            He looked at me slowly moving himself back up.

            “Do you want to know why you’re here, Elsa?” He walks in front of me. 

            I looked at him and then away trying to avoid eye contact.  

            “In 1720 we tried a small experiment, called ‘Transfers’. Simply, as you know by the name, is transforming supernatural powers to a normal human being.” He begins as moves around me. “First we tried it on Victor. I’m sure you know who he is, from your dream, right? Anyways, Victor started taking the PIC, put soon when we transferred powers towards him he immediately died.”

            I gasped looking at him.

            “We kept trying and trying. But none of our patients seemed to work on. So, we started to capture people close to death, you know, people that no one would notice gone.”

            “So, you decided to end their life for them?!” I shout trying to break free from the ropes that held me down. 

            “We promised them a better life, Elsa. Like we promised you.” He touched the side of my face and smiled. “After hundreds of years trying we finally got our answer. Our genius plan worked.” 

            “You’re saying I was the first one that this stupid experiment actually worked on?” I asked surprised.

            He smiled. “Aren’t you a smart girl?”

            “Then what do you want from me? To join you?” I turned.

            “Not only that.” He walks to be standing inches away from me. “We want to figure out what did we do that it worked on you but not on anyone else.”

            “You want to continue to experiment on me?” I asked disgusted.

            “Bingo.” He laughs.

            I looked to my side seeing Seth walk in looking down at his feet.

            “That will never happen!” I yelled. “Seth!”

            I called out his name in sign for him to attack. But instead of him attacking, he stood there, eyes looking at me and then away.

            “Seth?” I called his name again.

            Edwin starts to laugh.

            “You’re begging for help to one of my guards?” He looks at my hopeless face then at Seth’s. “Ah, you see, Elsa. Seth here, he was given a mission. To find you, and to bring you here. We trained him, to become one of our strongest werewolves. Seth did a wonderful job.”

            “That’s not true.” I paused. “Seth wouldn’t do that.” I looked at Seth.

            “Tell her, Seth. Tell her the truth!” Edwin shouts.

            “We made a deal.” Seth says as his words crumble.

            “I can’t believe you.” I cried.

            “Elsa, I…” He walks towards me but stops. “I didn’t mean to go this way.”

            “You lied to me. You made me fall in love with you.” I continued crying.

            “Young love. I remember being in love.” Edwin starts with sarcasm.

            “Elsa, I had no choice.” He tells me.

            “You had no choice? What was this deal? Huh?” I demanded.

            “We promised him his mom back.” Dr. Russell says from behind.

            “They tricked you. She’s dead!” I shouted. “I saw her. I saw her dead Seth.”

            “No, she’s alive.” He starts to crack into a cry.

            I shut my eyes close bringing back the picture of what his mother looked like. She was beautiful, but she was dead. I pulled back the vision of the doctor in the hospital looking at her dead body in the freezer, showing it to his dad and explaining his missing son. I felt myself push that vision into Seth’s head as I felt his feeling as he watched this. The sadness ache in my heart, I felt how broken and ripped apart he was.

            “She’s alive.” He says shortly.

            In one move I pushed my powers into one, as the ropes that wrapped around me transformed into dust breaking me free. I freed myself pushing my hands over my head and towards Dr. Russell as he flew towards the wall then collapsed onto the floor motionless. After that, I was about to motion my hands over, one of the guards flew across the room in front of me breaking the wall behind him, I looked behind me and I saw Louis standing on the doorway.

 “Go!” He yelled fighting the guards left to finish.

Edwin became angry transforming himself into the big black wolf I’d seen in my dreams, the wolf I seen in the woods, the one that followed me, and the one that has been in my house more then once. Seth transforms himself into a wolf also, attacking Edwin from behind.

            Seth and Edwin fought in front of me, colluding down walls in front of them. Louis finishing the last guard. I looked behind me as Chloe stood there in panic.

            “Here.” I say pushing my hands together and twisting them as the lock broke open. “Come on.” I waved her out.

            I grabbed her
