Light in a Tunnel ch. 13

"The fight begins"

Soon after the attack, Bill left to some uncle's castle. And I say castle, because that's where the uncle lived. I got to know Hayley a little bit better; she was creative, crazy, spunky and very smart.
She was also very good with spells.

One day, I came back to my room when I saw Taboo sitting on the window, relaxed.
"Are you insane?! Someone can see you!!!" I exclaiimed, pulling him away from the windows.
"Yeah well, it doesn't matter. In a couple of days a spiritual cage will open, and if I don't have the jewels, I'm doomed." He said, walking around the room. I sat down on the bed.
"Can I help you in some way?" I asked
"Nah, you can't. I'm dead. Dead, dead, dead! If I knew where the heck those diamonds were...I could save my skin..." he muttered
"How are the diamonds?" I asked
"Turquoise." he answered simply. Then I remembered.
"I've seen those crystals before!!" I exclaimed, rising so fast that Taboo got startled.
"Wait here, I'll get them to you!" I said, and immediately ran out of the room. I trusted Taboo, and didn't wanted anything bad to happen to him (stupid, right?) . I got to the seniors' library. Of course, the jar wasn't there. I decided to look out and around the library. Throwing books, papers, encyclopedias, a half finished sandwich, etc.
I decided to look out in Bill's room. I entered running, and started to look aound frantically. I tossed papers, books, bottles, hairspray, jeans, etc. But then, I got to the hidding spot: in a little ceramic pot, the diamond and the small nine silver balls were there. I grabbed the ball and triumphantly and proudly returned to my roo. Taboo was amused.
"Wow. You can do miracles, boy!" he exclaimed happily.
Then he knocked me down, making me faint.

"Hey, kid! Can you come and help me?" the woman asked me gently. Suspicious, I walked over her. She was very beautyful. Very beautyful.
"Do I know you, ma'am?" I asked. Smiling, she stroke my hair.
"You're half-vampire, right?" she asked sweetly. I nodded.
"Have you ever been in Dellensville?"
"No ma'am."
"Oh, I'm not married. Don't call me like that."
"But you'll marry soon."
"Just call me Sybille, would you?"
"Alright, miss."
She laughed and looked around. Then she got serious.
"Listen, I need to get to Dellensville safe and sound. My boyfriend, he kidnapped my baby and I have to find her. Would you help me?" she begged. I was doubting, but I nodded.
"Good!" she said, smiling again, "What's your name?"
"Lucas. But you call me Luke. Everyone does."
"What a cute tattoo, Luke! One of a green moon...does it mean something?"
"Not at all...Sybille. I was born with that. I just noticed it now." Iturned to see her, and was surprised to see that her green eyes were replaced with light blue, maniac eyes. She blinked twice and smiled.

"The third descendant...was revealed..." I thought over, sending the telepatic signals to Marcia. She laughed. I heard it on my head.
"Well, let's get going, Luke!" I said cheerfuly, putting my arm behind his back.

"Oh no...Oh no, oh no oh no..." I whispered, widening my eyes. I covered my mouth, shocked to see that the pregnacy test result had been positive.
"Avril! Avie, I NEED to go to the bathroom!" Hank whinned from outside, "What takes you so long, woman? Open now! Please!"
"Hank, wait on!" I commanded him with a shaky voice. What would Georg say if he found out...?
"Avie, are you crying?" Hank asked softly, "Cause I can go do it on the backyard and leave you here until you're better."
"No Hank. Wait up, I'll be out." I said. It took me a while to let it sink in: I was expecting Georg's baby.
I got out and walked to the counter. But suddenly, I heard Hank's yelp. When I turned around to help him, somebody covered my mouth and my eyes with a black napkin. The person tied me up and ran out with me.
