Emery & Marcus' P.O.V

I regained conscious enough to open my eyes weakly and noticed that i was no longer in the wreckage. I still heard the same familiar voices that had gotten me out of there instead of leaving me there to die. "Where....." I heard my own voice, raspy and raw from thirst. I saw the girl with the silver like hair turn and then look at the man standing on the opposite side of the room, slowly I turned my head carefully so that I wouldn't cause any dizziness, to look at the man standing next to me. I wasn't in the hospital like I thought I would be but took in what my vision could see. Wooden walls, a side table that had flowers on the top, and the feeling of being on a table which felt metal beneath my fingertips. 

"Don't move," I heard the mans voice say in a demanding tone. I was too weak to argue. "You were hurt pretty badly in the crash." He pointed out as he directed my attention to the pole that stuck out of my side. Oddly enough it wasn't causing me any pain. 

"Did you...." I began and before I could finish my sentence he nodded his answer. I turned my head again to peer at the woman. She had tied it back into a ponytail giving off her features. She had a round face with a nice nose and dimples that was clear on her cheeks. She was beautiful. Although I can't say the same for me at the moment. I was covered in blood from the accident and it was obvious that it was all mine. Of course I couldn't wait to get out of them and into fresh cloths. I tried to take in more of my surroundings but my vision was getting the better of me and I instantly passed out again.

Marcus

I glided down the stairs that lead to the cellar. It had that musky smell to it that made me cringe but it was where we resided during the day to avoid the sun and its' deadly rays.  Apart of me wished that there was a special ointment that allowed us to go out during the day without bursting into flame and ash but I knew that there wasn't such a thing unless I dared to tread down the path of science and even then I was too terrified to even think about that. In some part of my brain I was sort of traumatized from an experience that I hardly even remembered. I kept that part of myself a secret. A lab rat for the scientists to experiment on and was never allowed to escape. But I did by some miracle. I escaped and I am NEVER gong back. Unless I had too. The thought was there but I brushed it aside to focus on the situation at hand. The girl. The one that had been in that car accident and was covered in blood and on her death bed. Just waiting to be saved. I found my voice. "How is she?"

Nora looked up from where she was attending the vials that sat next the girl's arm and responded. "Barely holding on." She reached to move the girl's brown hair from her face and continued. "Did everything turn out alright with the visitors?"

I mustered a sigh. "Yes," I rubbed my brow. "Being nosy as usual."

"When are they never." Blake said with stark amusement and I head him give a light chuckle as he then asked. "Are we set for the procedure?"

 I could only nod my answer as I went over to the table where the girl was laying. "Does she have a name?"

"Emery," Nora responded lightly. "I am afraid that she may not have much longer." At that her tone seemed to crack as though she was about to cry and Blake noticed the tension that was radiating from her and tried in his best interest to comfort her by wrapping his arms around her shoulders as she fought back a set of tears. "I'm sorry that I seem emotional." 

"No it's fine." I said as a waved our attention to Emery.

"Right." Nora said as they went back to the table to begin the change.

Emery

All I wanted to do was let go and fade but I knew that I wanted to live longer than this. Beyond all this pain that I am experiencing right now which was hardly any because the man that was called Blake had numbed that area so I didn't feel uncomfortable. The rest of me was still achy from being pulled from the wreckage but I was out of there and that was all that mattered. I yearned for that shower once things here was done but it seemed like they were taking their time deciding on the current situation which was me. How were they going to take care of this? Whatever they decided it better be fast. "Please," I forced out of my mouth. My tone was dry and all I wanted right now was water or at least something to quench the thirst.

A face appeared above mine. "Emery," he said my name like he was trying to get my full attention. "This is your choice." His eyes which were gold, glittered at me like stars from a night sky. "To have a second shot at life only in a different point of view."

I didn't need to be asked twice. In a stable but weak voice I replied, "Yes."

    "Where would we want to start looking?" Blake had asked me once we left Sarene's Council room. "Gabriel isn't just going to be waiting around for us to catch him." "Given his state of mind at this very moment," Marcus said in return to Blake's comment, "He isn't really the Flash. Moments before the explosion, Sarene had linked me stating that she had drugged him on order to get him in the dungeons. His speed isn't the greatest and what she had given him will last at least a few hours." A few hours isn't going to cut the deadline. Who knows what he has in mind after it wears off." Nora piped in. "We need to find him and end this before he exposes our race of extistence." "I'd rather die than let that ever occur," Marcus replied. "I understand from his perspective that Gabriel wants revenge over an incident that happened centuries ago." Marcus' gaze went to me as he spoke and I felt as though he was trying to tell somethig silently but I didn't know what. I gave him a small shrug and

  • Second Chances   Chapter 24

    Sarene had been in the dining hall awaiting for the council when she heard the massive explosion and while she attempted to find cover, she shouted to a number of her gaurds and ordered them to check the dungeons where Gabriel was being kept. The fear that Gabriel somehow managed to lure one of the human gaurds to do his bidding was evidant within her and she quickly got to her feet. A group of gaurds came in, their armor shined beneath the moonlight while a loof of concerned formed on their faces. "What's going on?" Sarene asked. "Did you sweep the cells to make sure that he didn't escape?" Daryl the head command of the gaurd elite spoke. "We did and found that his cell is empty." Sarene’s face went paler than normal and as she took a breath she spoke with a calm tone, "We need to find him before he gets too far. Take your men and sweep the perimeters and the outskirts of the castle." Darly bowed, "As you wish your majest." He looked to his men and sai

    An hour had passed and we were already on our way to the road that we spoke of. The thoughts that constantly raced through my thoughts had made me uneasy.Gabriel was once my friend, one that had kept me sane in my time at the labs. The place that those cruel scientists decided to create the very first race of vampires as far as I knew of anyway. There were more of us than I had envisioned honestly. It made me think about whether or not I was the first or those bastards had lied to our faces. What more did they keep from us? From me that I should of known about before? Was Sarene and her parents the first race?I shook my head and turned my focus to reality. As I zipped through the trees and underbrush of the of forest, I looked up at the sky, noticing how bright the stars had gotten alongside the moon, to which it was full. A group of clouds had formed to cover a portion of the moon, causing a mystery vibe from above. I heard Emery's voice loud

    Blake returned a few minutes later, after I had instructed that he'd scout the area. His dark hair was disheveled from the wind and his eyes glowed softly under the fire's embers and his cloths seemed off, as though he had gotten into war with some type of animal but ad I sat on the sofa, checking and double checking to make certain that there was no errors in the map that I had hidden in my closet, was correct, his voice rumbled over my thoughts. "It is clear, Marcus. I made sure that nothing was on that route."I took a breath and folded the map that had been resting lightly in my lap and placed it on the coffee table sitting before me. "Good." I said in all bit a whisper. "Now all we need to do I wait for the girls and head toward town to get everything else from the storage space.""Are you certain you want to do this? Blake asked, a hint of concern rose in his voice. "Who knows how many men Gabriel has in store for us.""I am. Gabriel has this grudge agains

    I felt the sun wan slowly behind the fabric of the darkened curtains as I laid underneath the satin sheet on my bed. My head rested on the pillow while my arm rested under my neck. I rolled over and stared at the ceiling while my thoughts were at war with what to do about the plan to end this charade with Gabriel. I hated the idea of everyone that I was close to get hurt and being holed up like animals when the reality was that we had done nothing wrong. Sarene had been forced to make the decision that very day because Gabriel sought out revenge for what had happened at the labs. The truth was this, I was scared. Scared of going into that place where the scientists had created us. The first line of vampires that had existed. Me and Gabriel and possibly more who had died trying. It made me wonder if Sarene and her parents were apart of what they were doing.The urge to ask her was strong but the Remus pack had a close eye on us the whole time but we also had access to th

  • Second Chances   Chapter 20

    I heard voices but they were only echoes in my mind and for a brief moment I had thought that I was going crazy. Memories flashed before my eyes. Of Marcus and I, locked in the cells of that lab. Doctors doing their rounds and scientists not far, jotting down our results in charts that were unable to be seen. The moment Marcus was able to escape was they day began to loathe him for everything that he was. The friendship that we had formed was now gone and in its' very place was a sense of revenge. It was more of a need than a feeling. Marcus had abandoned me and that was enough to never want to see him alive. Fate on the other hand, had its' course and when he showed up at the castle that night, he saw the opportunity. The chance to exact that need.I heard myself grunt at the thought and by the time I fully came to focus, he realized that there were more than two guards dragging his dead weight down into the dungeons and of course he was too weak to do anything.
