patrick the kitten says: obey me or i shall kill yew with mah cuteness!

ha ha i am trying to update and my adorable kitten patrick won't leave me alone. he is verrrry interested in the computer keys. school was alright. i find i am reading a lot lately. for my english classes i am reading the books "tuesdays with morrie" and "dogsong" i think tuesdays with morrie is really good so far. i also picked up another book called "i am david" for extra credit and i've begun reading the book my brother has to read for his english class "friction" wow too much reading. but friction is really good and i haven't started i am david yet. a sign i am getting old: when i purchase a teen magazine and don't know who the hell half the people in it are. psssh not like i care i only bought it because i need fob pics for my collage. going on a field trip to a college soon. it should be fun. anyway it is thursday and that means the brand new chapter of 'sixteen' so i hope people come around and read it cause i am really proud of it and i really like this chapter and the next one. sixteen chapter seven: i need my posion to keep me sane ada's heart beat fast as the excitment filled the kitchen. the others around her grinned their toothy grins and she could smell their need already. after all they all did need it. they needed to go and drink blood, they needed to attack humans. but ada didn't want it...she didn't want to need it. caiden came around and placed a hand on her shoulder. "we get to feed. aren't you excited ada?" caiden asked and ada let her lips pull into a fake smile as she showed false enthusiam for the night's feeding. it seemed that the clan hadn't fed in a few days as nearly everyone grew excited at the prospect of eating. it could be that they were hungry or it could be that they were excited for the chase. "get ready children. we leave in an hour." beckett said as he waltzed away to his room. the others began talking amoungst themselves perhaps to make plans for the night. "caiden, i'm going to go and tell gray that we're eating tonight." she told him and for once caiden was too wrapped up in other things to notice her so she slipped away easily. fear and dread filled ada as she made her way back to her room. she couldn't go on the hunt tonight. there was no way she could go! they didn't know, none of them knew that she hadn't drank blood for nearly a month now. ada burst into her room only to find that gray was already awake and gone, she didn't care in the moment where he was because her need to think of a way out of the feeding outweighed everything else. ada closed the door behind her and grabbed for her long black trench coat that hung on the back of the door. she made for the pockets greedily sticking her hands inside. upon finding what she was looking for she pulled it out. a long vial rested in her hand for a moment ada calmed down until she took a closer look at the vial and noticed it was empty. she dropped the empty vial on the floor letting it rest at her feet as she dug around in search of more. ada pulled out five more vial's and to her horror each was empty the last drops of an acidic green substance clinging to the vial. ada continued her search in vain because she knew that all the vial's were empty and she knew she had no more. she stood frozen to the spot in the room before slumping down against the door and resting her head on her knees. she was completly defensless without the serum. the bright green serum was an antidote of sorts that allowed a vampire to survive without drinking blood. ada had been using it before she left and hadn't looked back since. she had had a large supply but as she grew closer to home the antidote dealers became scarcer and scarcer. she knew now that she couldn't stop it. she couldn't protect herself from the unbridled bloodlust that all vampires had. no matter how hard she fought. ada knew that tonight she would be won over by the truly animalistic side of herself. ada sat like that for a while unmoving and letting her mind soak in the realization of it all. back when she had first been turned she hunted like all the others and she drank blood to survive. she did it for all those years and god help her she enjoyed it but after she had turned gray the thought of drinking from humans became less appetizing, the thought of hurting humans seemed less fun and ada felt herself changing. she was no longer like the others, she had developed a concious. ada knew all along that she was different, from the very moment she was changed because she could remember being human and she could recall being changed. she could remember these things while the other's could not. ada being different was also the reason she had left the clan. she couldn't take hurting people anymore and she was feeling more human then ever despite the dark cravings for blood. ada also knew beckett's grand plan, the one he was so ready to put into action and ada thought that maybe she could stop it all if she went to get help. so that's what ada had done she had left her clan to seek help in the form of people like herself, vampires who remembered too much about who they used to be. vampires who didn't want to be vampires anymore. ada had travled from chicago to new york where they were located. the things that had happened there, ada's draining mind did not want to think about so she instead sat there against her cool wooden door. she sat there for a good while before she heard a knock on her door that served to startle her. "ada, you here?" it was caiden and once again he had come to look for her, ada looked back at the closed door contemplating wheter or not to open it. she wasn't feeling the loathing and annoyance for caiden that she had been earlier, she blamed it on the rapidly increasing need of blood in her system. either way ada stood and opened the door. a grinning caiden stood before her and part of ada warmed towards him because she could remember how much she liked him. "you ready? we're leaving soon." he said as he offered her his outstreched hand, she hesitated for a moment still trying to figure out a way to avoid the hunt all together, but as caiden's smile widened and her brain grew fuzzier she found that saying yes was far easier because it didn't feel real. it didn't feel like her. she placed her hand in his and he lead her away. the clan, her makeshift or only family, met up on the front lawn. some sort of unholy congregation. the fourty or so members of said congregation standing assembled on the front lawn. ada pleasantly standing in the front row next to caiden and remy. their leader, the closest thing to god that they'd ever meet, beckett stood out before them basking in the glow of his children, his minions. they all stood drenched in the moonlight and ada felt nearly perfect in this moment. she was in her group, in her element and without the aid of her antidote the reason's for her leaving this perfection seemed to melt away. just as the reasonable sensible ada was slipping away, rapidly being replaced by the truly vampric ada the one who lived on only one thing. the pure animalistic instinct. the cool night breeze blew around them and ada could feel the excitment already and it was nearly intoxicating. after so long of not hunting of not doing this she had forgotten how exhilarating it could all be. she remembered the basic animal instict and part of her still felt afraid of it but it was a very small part. it was taking her over and normally it would be terrifying to have the unholy creature become her but right now she didn't care because right now she wanted to be anyone but her. she felt her heart beat too fast and she felt dizzy, she heard mumbled talking and she felt the last bit of her concious slip away. ******************************************** ~red~
