Turn Me - Aurora Kryan (best black authors TXT) 📗

up. I went back into the room where Angela was messing with the TV remote. The sound of footsteps running up the stairs carried up to us and we both looked at the door waiting. Finally Morgan entered slinging her camouflage back pack on the bed. She had on a huge smile knowing id have a fit over her driving.

“How in the world did you get here so fast? You’re going to kill yourself I swear.”

“No traffic on the highway.”

I sighed shaking my head at her. A crash came from the corner of the room and I jumped.

“What is she doing here?!” Morgan hissed.

The girl so sweet looking before now looked evil like a possessed porcelain doll. I took a step back bumping into Morgan. I spun to ask her what was going on and then I saw her red eyes and screamed.

Chapter Thirteen

“You two?” I asked.

Morgan shifted her red eyes on me nodding slightly.

“Why didn’t you tell me?!” I exploded at her, “Gage did and you’ve been by best friend since freshman year!”

She turned back to me stunned. She reached out to me wanting to take my shoulders. I was going to let her but the girl jumped in front of me swatting her hand away. What was she doing? Her small pale hand flew up making Morgan scream. I jumped so high I fell on my butt looking at Morgan wide eyed. She clutched at the thing lodge at an awkward angle in her chest.

She looked at it then up to me as her red eyes faded back to the brown I was use to. Taking staggered steps back she held her hand out to me.

“Princess, join me while you still can.” She choked out.

“Morgan you, but why. Why?”

“The prize of victory is the princess of blood. We’ll do anything to get her,” She looked at Angela,” or stop enemies from having her.”

Blood trickled down her lips and automatically I leaned forward wanting it. She smiled making her look creepy as cracks formed on her face and she paled more. Then she fell over the banister and out of sight.

“Morgan!” I screamed.

I jumped up off the floor and ran to the stairs like if I made it there she would be holding on and I could save her. I made the edge and saw nothing but a pool of blood and the thing that was in Morgan’s chest laying on the ground floor. Just as I was about to run down and cry I was jerked back to the guest room. I turned my head to see the possessed porcelain doll pulling me deeper into her evil lair.

Chapter Fourteen

My heart pounded as Angela ran a pale finger over my neck. Her laugh rang out in the silent room. It sounded just like a child’s but I knew better, she was a vampire. When I stopped panicking and looked her in the face she pouted.

“Come now Lyric it’s no fun with you looking at me like that.”

“Let me go.” I said.

She laughed again shoving me on the chair by the window. I went to get up but found my movements restricted. Her black curls came in and out of my view as she tied me up.

Not good Morgan can’t save me and Gage is stuck inside.

I struggled against the bindings so she couldn’t tie my hands down to tight. She stood in front of me glaring with her hands crossed over her chest.

“Be still at once!” She commanded.

I felt the fight go out of me once I locked eyes with her. I sat there like a statue as she finished tying me up. I was powerless against her glamour. It was stronger than Gage’s with his I could fight back after a few seconds but with hers I was doomed. I felt her hands slid up my arms to where my elbow bent. She dug her nails in there drawing blood and smearing it on her fingers.

I snapped out of her glamour and struggled against the rope. She let me fight as her tongue licked the blood off her fingers like a snack. I glared at her and let out a weak vampire growl.

“Insolent fool.” She said slapping me.

My cheek was on fire from her strength and she felt like stone, cold, hard and heartless. If it wasn’t for her slapping me I never would have seen it thought so u guess it was a good thing. I turned back to her letting nothing on that I had a way out. I smiled at her sweetly.

“Didn’t your parents teach you to respect your elders?” I said.

“I am your elder princess.” She said just as sweetly.

“You’re only eight.”

“Don’t judge a book by its cover sarsaq bala.”

“What?”

“It’s Azari for foolish child. It’s my native tongue from Persia, well you call it Iran now but it was part of Persia at one time.”

I blinked at her,

just how old is she?

She seemed to be reliving memories in her head so I took my chance and struck.

If this doesn’t work I’m pouring Holy water on Gage.

“Silver Moon!” I shouted.

Angela’s eyes snapped to me and I flung the bottle of water at her from the window sill. She didn’t dodge or anything she just stood there while water splattered her. After a second she screamed and her skin started to sizzle and burn. I looked away not wanting to see what was happening and because I was trying to get free.

The arm I had flung the water at her with was looser than the other one so I worked it free as fast as I could. Angela had run out of the room by the time I fell over in the chair and worked my legs free. I fumbled with my broken door pushing my dresser in front of it so it was locked. I had yet to fix it after the accident with Gage.

“Lyric!” Angela shouted from the other side of the door.

Chapter Fifteen

I cracked my door open looking at the guest room across the hall. The door was shut and the lights were on. I rushed down the stairs to the kitchen snatched up anything that didn’t need cooked and flew back up the stairs. I threw the goods on my bed and shoved the dresser back against the wall. I sat on the floor messing with the millionth box of pop tarts I had taken.

It was just my luck to need non heated cooked food and the only thing we had was one jar of peanut butter, a box of crackers, and the endless supply of s’mores pop tarts foe when Morgan came over.

I had munched my way through the peanut butter and crackers the first two days. Now I just had pop tarts, I looked over at my trash can over flowing with the empty boxes.

“Why couldn’t I have been stuck in a house where the kitchen had doors I could barricade?”

I looked at the box in my hands and made an ew face. They had been my breakfast, lunch, dinner, and stress munchies for almost a week now. I was totally and utterly sick of them. I turned up my stereo so my drowning pool CD blared while I played with the box tying to put it off a little longer, but my stomach was growling like a lion. I slid my finger under the top and pulled it open.

"Ouch box cut.”

I pulled my hand back feeling the burn between my thumb and first finger.

Great, just what I need with a hostile vampire next door.

I stood going to my bathroom to wash the blood off when my door went flying across the room behind me. I whirled to see Angela’s red eyes trained on my hand. She had left me alone this while time only messing with me some, in other words taking some pop tarts out of boxes so I had to go back sooner when my supply was low.

She had warned me to stay in the house or my parents were going to be killed. Of course I listened to her but now I was starting to wish I hadn’t. I went flying back slamming into the floor when I slapped her hand away from me.

Cheater using vampire strength,

I thought. I rolled onto my knees getting up only to be caught by her.

“Be still.” She said.

I froze under her gaze as she pulled my hand out to her and sucked my cut. It stung but didn’t hurt like when I was bitten by Gage. Just then my phone rang and I yanked my hand back dodging another slap headed my way. I ran backwards till my butt hit the dresser. I felt around on it for anything I could throw. The first thing my hand touched I grabbed it and threw as hard as I could.

Angela didn’t flinch she caught the baseball and threw it back at me. I coughed doubling over from the impact on my side. It raged with pain that prickled up and around where the ball hit me.

She could hold back geesh

. The house phone started ringing next and I went to get it but Angela was faster.

“Tell him to stay away or else.” She said shoving it to me.

I took the phone reading the caller id.

Gage…He was my one chance at saving my parents

. My eye flickered to Angela and then I answered the phone trying to sound perfectly fine.

“Hey Gage what up?”

“I’m back in town sorry it took so long to return from the coven meeting.”

“That’s fine it’s not like you missed out on anything here.”

“I missed you,” He said sweetly and I groaned,”what’s wrong?”

Angela had put her hand on my throat digging her nails in as a warning.

“N-nothing just ran into a door trying to get some blood for you in the fridge.” I said.

There was a pause on his end of the phone.

Please understand!

He knew I didn’t store blood for him. If he needed it I was here and vice versa. Angela’s grip on me tightened and she ripped the phone away from me.

“I told you to keep him away!” She hissed in my ear.

“Help!” I yelled.

She crushed the phone as soon as I yelled for help I could only hope Gage got here before she killed me.

Chapter Sixteen

“Just for that princess your parents are going to get a house warming gift when they get back in five minutes.”

“Five minutes?!”

She smiled holding up the calendar from the front room. Circled in red was the time and date mom and dad were due home.

It can’t be Friday already…No! Gage was supposed to get back Wednesday and I was going to call him so he could rescue them!

I shook with anger and took the calendar from her. I stood up grabbing her dress collar.

“Leave them alone.” I snarled at her.

The snarl was all too human
