"FINISH ME." I yelled as she held me in a choke hold. "Don't tempt me!" She yelled.
"Then let me finish you!"
I grabbed her shoulder and flung her over me, got up and pinned her against the wall by her neck. My hand lit on fire as I held her by the neck, she began screaming in pain. I cooled my hand down and leaned up into her ear and whispered "Don't ever, and I mean ever test my strength! I will always win, compared to me your nothing, keep testing your limits and see how far you get. As far as I can see I could throw you into that pit of fire or you can back off and stop messing with these people, because I'm the queen now."
"You little-!" She yelled back.
"You don't want to finish that sentence." I said before she flipped me off. "Wait until those flames consume you, you're going to be wishing you were never born."
I threw her into the pit and heard her hit the ground. She began screaming again, I yelled out to her again saying all she had to do was say she was sorry but she refused so I left her in the pit to burn. Her screams began to get louder then suddenly they started fading away.
I heard this familiar yet unfamiliar voice. I listened as she spoke to me, I could hear her crying then she said my name in a way I could never forget, I listened as she started telling me stories of memories I seemed to have but it was like nothing would work. Suddenly this girl said something, something I would never forget.
"Remember that time when we were fourteen and we snuck out of the house to find dad? Mom had a whole army looking for us after we had been gone for like fifteen minutes, one of them found us and we had to run into these woods to avoid getting dragged home. When we were running we got lost and ended up finding this beautiful field, we sat down and watched the stars, then we saw a shooting star but instead of making a wish we made a promise. 'No matter what happens or who comes around we will never forget each other or let the other sister down. Our bound is forever and our heart tied together, we are the Castaway twins, tell our hearts beat no more.' Then mom found us and dragged us home lecturing us about how we scared her half to death."
"Then when we got home dad had sent us two letters and we read them, he had given us both matching necklaces with our names on the back." I said while I put my hand on my neck to hold the necklace. "Garce!" I yelled.
Suddenly my memories came back and I could remember why I was here. I hate that when you get down here it wipes all memory from earth and all you remember is your name and abilities. I don't have time to waste here with whatever her name is, I have to get back to my sister!
I jumped into the pit of fire and brought the girl I threw in out. I laid her on the ground. She was burning and looked like she was in a lot of pain. I put my hand on her shoulder. I took the heat and cooled her down, then took a rock and cut my hand and put it to her mouth to heal her wounds faster.
"There, your burns should go away soon. Stop terrorizing the people here because when I come back I might not decide to so as much kindness."
"T-thank you." I heard her say under her breath.
"Yeah."
I began to walk away but then I heard her say something else.
"W-where are you going?" She stammered.
"To find my body and get back to my sister." I said while looking down the road I had to go down.
"Wait, you're the last door to Hell?" She half yelled.
"Yep, and no I can't open a portal so you can get out."
Before she could say anything else I walked away. I started down this long path to the portal ground where my body is probably lying peacefully. As I walked, all I could hear was Grace's voice and her crying. I hate hearing her cry, I hate knowing she's hurting and most of all I hate this freaking place.
********************************************
I have been walking for an hour and I finally made it back to my body, it's time to get out of this hell hole once and forever. I laid down and merged myself with my body then used my magic to shoot fire and create a portal. It took what felt like forever for the portal to open. I felt weak again like I felt when I was flying through the woods, I gathered enough strength to walk through the portal then everything went black.
The next thing I knew was I could feel myself in my bed and in my body on earth once again. I launched up and gasped for every bit of air my lungs could take in. Thank god I'm back. I felt Garces arms wrap around me in a tight hug holding me close, I hugged her back and buried my head into her shoulder.
We sat there for a few minutes as my heart beat went back to its normal pace. When our heartbeats were in sync again I pulled away and rested my forehead on hers. We both took a deep breath then she sat up and smacked me in the back of the head.
"Ow! What was that for?" I said while putting my hand on my head.
"For not listening to me and getting yourself killed, then giving me a heart attack because I didn't know if you were going to come back!" Grace said while standing up.
"Look, I'm sorry. How long was I out for?"
"Three days."
"THREE DAYS?! It felt like a couple hours down there." "It probably only was a few hours."
"I hope not, its already confusing keeping track of everything that goes on down there I can't keep track of this two."
"Well you better not make a habit of this, you had me worried sick. I got stuck outside in werewolf form with no sister to get me clothes so I had to sneak in here and ask Jackson for help."
"Really? Jeez sis you need to be more careful of where you put your clothes down." "There's a long story behind it, but for now how are you feeling?"
"Not horrible."
"That's good, it means the spell I used is working to numb the pain."
"How bad is it?"
"You broke twenty bones and fractured seven. Your shoulder is all sorts of messed up and your back is totally broken."
"So my back bones that are broken are separate from the twenty bones?" "Yep, honestly if you weren't supernatural you would be dead right now."
"Well I did die and it sucked. I'm seriously thinking about unlocking my vampire side so I don't have to go down there ever again."
"Faith, we made a promise to mom that we would never, and I mean never unlock our vampire side unless it was absolutely necessary."
"Well I'm tired of dying going to that hell hole, literally, I would like to get to the point where I only had to worry about getting stabbed in the heart or getting my head ripped off."
"Faith, we've talked about this."
"Yes, three years ago when we were thirteen and I hadn't gone down there before."
"Just don't make a decision without talking to the family first, speaking of which Kol, Devina, Freya, Rebekah, and Marcel are all here to see you."
"So the whole family is here?"
"Yep, that's what happens when you make dumb decisions and get yourself killed." "I said I was sorry."
"Oh I know, but this is going to take a little more than a sorry."
"Fine, bring the army in."
"You really didn't have a choice on that."
Grace got up and walked out of the room, when I knew she was gone I tried to sit all the way up. I winced in pain as what felt like a burst of fire ran down my back, I hate that feeling I'm not used to fire actually hurting me. I laid back down and looked at the roof because it was really the only thing I could do, my back was on fire and my shoulder was just completely numb.
I closed my eyes and tried to focus my energy into healing my back but nothing was working, I sighed in annoyance and opened up my eyes again. I looked to the side of me and saw my phone, I tried to grab it but it was too far away. "Of course" I thought to myself, I rolled onto my side but ended up rolling too far over and fell off my bed.
"Ow!" That hurt really freaking bad. Surprisingly I was able to sit up without being in complete and utter pain. I put my hand on my bed and started to lift myself off the floor, I was able to stand up and kind of walk. I walked to the door and cracked it open so I could see outside. I didn't see anyone so I crept to the door that led to the back of the school.
When I was outside I walked to the woods and sat down on a bench, I took a deep breath "this is going to hurt." I said to myself. I took off my clothes and started to change, trying my very best not to scream so that people didn't come and find me, when I was completely transformed I began to walk through the woods breathing in the fresh pine air.
It was completely peaceful, tell I heard talking in the distance, I slowly walked to where it was coming from and saw someone on the phone. I stood behind a tree but then I went to take a step back and stepped on a tree branch, a loud crack was made and the guy turned around to look. He began walking to where I was so I ran to a different tree and changed back to my normal form, I ran up behind the guy and took his leather jacket off of him and wrapped it around me.
He quickly turned around and saw me wrapped in his leather jacket, he looked me up and downtown said, "werewolf huh?"
"Um... yeah, wait who are you?" I said while backing up a bit. "I'm Derek, who are you?"
"Faith. What are you doing on school property?"
"Would you believe me if I said I got lost?"
"Nope."
"I'm looking for an old friend, said he might be here."
"Uh huh, okay well I should go."
"Wait!" He said so I turned around. "Your last name is Castaway right?" "Maybe, maybe not."
I walked behind a tree and turned back into my wolf form, I took his jacket in my mouth and began to run back to my clothes. My shoulder was hurting pretty bad at this point, Grace's spell was almost worn off, I knew my wolf form would heal faster but I couldn't stay like this forever. When I got back to my clothes I switched back again and changed back into my clothes. When I was changed I set Derek's jacket down on the bench, and I sat down too. My back was killing me and my shoulder was hurting so bad I couldn't move it anymore.
I put my hand on my shoulder trying to release some of the pain but it didn't work. Slowly I got up but began to fall, but instead of hitting the ground I fell into someone. At first I thought it was one of my family members but to my surprise it was Derek.
"Woah are you okay?" He said while gently setting me on the bench.
"Yeah, yeah I'm fine." I said while putting my hand back on my shoulder.
"You sure because you almost collapsed onto hard rock ground?"
"Something happened a while back I hurt my back and shoulder pretty bad."
"Here let me take you back to the school... I'm assuming you go there since you know your way around here pretty well."
"Yes but that's not a good idea, my whole family is there and well-"
"I'm hearing no reason why I shouldn't help you back, you're hurt really badly and I don't want you out here alone."
"Okay fine."
The next thing I knew he had me bridal style carrying me back to the school. He was warm and smelt really nice, no I'm not falling for him,I don't do that the minute I get too attached to someone they die so we aren't doing that. I laid my head on his chest and as he walked, I could hear his heartbeat. It was soothing for some odd reason.
When we got back to the school I heard someone's voice and it sounded very familiar. I lifted my head and Derek looked down at me.
"I'm going to set you down here and then I'm going to go." He said with a smile. "Thank you." I said with a soft tone.
"Anytime Faith Castaway."
Then he sat me down on the ground and began to run away like he was avoiding whoever was coming closer to me. I watched him as he disappeared into the woods and until I could feel someone's hand on my good shoulder.
"Faith Mariah Castaway!" The voice said. Crap. Only know one person who uses my full name like that... Uncle Kol.
"Hey uncle Kol." Said while turning my head. "Who was that?"
"I don't know, he saw me in the woods and asked me if I was okay, then I collapsed and he caught me and carried me here."
"Why did he run away like that?" He said with a raised brow. "Again I don't know, when I find out I'll let you know."
"Uh huh. Come on let's get you inside Grace is having a panic attack because she didn't know where you were."
"Oh great she's going to slap me again."
Kol laughed then helped me up, he put my arm around his neck and we began to walk. I was limping because my knee was hurting for some reason, probably broke it two. As he walked and I limped, I couldn't stop thinking about Derek and why he left in such a hurry.
