TrueBloods: A new beginning

My death

"Where is he?" Desmonds concern for me is sweet, but after reading this book- it's revealed so much to me, who Desmond is, and what Level D is. 

"He's in my timeline Desmond. In order for him to live I have to die, Ms. Dean isn't who she says she is. This book describes the very thing Jeremiah was to her- a contract running out of time. I'm her puppet I just can't figure out what she wants from me. The jumpers are also called Timeline Manipulators. He's changing my timeline from inside out and somehow Eleanor Dean has got a hand on my seam. She's waiting for Jeremiah to poke his head out and the night he tried to insert his bloodline into me she knew because his scent was released by the continuous pummel of your fists to his face. So he jumped inside my timeline."

"How do we get him out Alannah?" 

"By being two steps ahead of them both. My death." I said looking at him. 

..**..

Desmond lays me down on the table- it's freezing by the way. I stare up at the ceiling, the machine a bright red. 

"What is this going to do to her Gabe?" I look over at the two of them, Gabe typing into his computer not even looking at desmond. 

"It's going to mimic a death for about 3 minutes. The catch is- Alannah's human; I've never used this on a heart that beats 100,000 times a day." He looks back up at desmond- his hands stop typing and the room gets quiet. Why are people trying to save me? All because I don't want to die? or because of another reason? 

"She'll be fine Desmond. Don't worry." He pats his chest three times and walks over to the machine pulling it down from the ceiling. 

"This will only hurt for a second." He pulls the giant metal machine towards my chest, the lazer line is shooting straight at my heart. 

"What's this red thing going to do?" I ask. Desmond walks over to the table also expecting an answer, 

"This red line is going to emit  3.5 Ml of tranquilizer straight through the heart. It'll give your heart 3 minutes worth of sedatives before I stop the machine and quickly melt the tranquilizer from your blood in less than 30 seconds. I expect you to wake up in 2 minutes after turning the machine off. In total your brain will be 'insensate' for a full 5 minutes."

"WHAT! You've got to be kidding me this will never work!" Desmond yells. In the human world, 5 minutes of oxygen deprivation or the lack of my heart pumping blood for even 5 minutes can result in brain loss. But since I've been here I can't even comprehend the outstretched reality. 

"You want to save her life don't you? Desmond. This is how were going to do it, and you desmond; Have one minute to kill Jeremiah. Can you do it?" 

As Gabe gets his equipment ready by giving a human, tranquilizer desmond by instinct holds my head and I squeeze. Of course I'm terrified, who knew I would die and come back from the dead in less than five minutes. I take in a deep breath and let it go, I want to take in as much oxygen as I can before it's gone. 

    I take in every little thing so I can remember while my brain is incoherent or while I'm brain dead. 

    Gabe comes over with his monitors and sets up a lifelike death scene, he's even got the defibrillator set up and on. He connects me to the Oximeter and then pokes me for intravenous therapy (aka IV fluids) and starts the drip. 

"Once this machine turns on and she out cold, you need to run far- but close enough to hear when Jeremiah comes out. He can't sense you being here." Desmond nods his head and looks at me, I love him and I don't want to lose him. He bends down on his knees and holds my hand even tighter, 

"You're going to be just great, when you wake up, would you like to go out with me?" Stunned. Purley stunned. 

"Like on a date?" I ask. He laughs and nods his head,

"yes, like a date." I smile and laugh to, nodding my head. A tear flows down my face. 

"Alright Alannah, I need to put this oxygen mask. We'll be starting in 5,4" I didn't want to here one.

"1." He clicks a switch and the laser administers, holy f**k!

"AHH" It hurts, it feels like I'm being ran over by a giant train, and not for a second. My vision goes blurry, I can see Desmond hovering over me and same as Gabriel; I can't help but scream until- lights out. 

...**... 

The pain-it's gone but I don't feel tired anymore, I thought I wouldn't even be well- awake. Five minutes seems like a long time to be out cold. I see colors out in the pitch black dark nothingness. I look down and see my hands- my hands?! I look out again and try to walk towards the red that I see- it's working. As I get closer I see a ball- I tiny red ball emitting light so I pull it. Out of nowhere I see my limp body laying on the table- Gabreil staring at my body. The machine is beeping loudly to notify that my body is lifeless but in Gabes right hand he's holding a timer- it's set for one minute. I'm assuming once Jeremiah shows up he'll start the timer. 

"Are you here Alannah?" Gabe asks. I was caught of guard- how did he know I was watching? I walk over to the tin try and pick up a scapulting tool. 

"That's what I meant earlier by you being on level D. Whoever changed your boarding school papers knew what you were, Alannah you are a Matanica. If Desmond ever knew about who you really are- if anyone besides me and my Family knew who you were, they would be terrified of you. You won't forget your memories of Desmond but you need to put on your best acting skills and make him believe you did." I am a matanica? What does that even mean? Who would change my boarding school papers? 

I don't want to break desmonds heart, he deserves much more than a liar. I feel myself dripping tears, more like draining what I've been holding back. I collapse on the black marble floor weeping because I am something I don't want. I feel so lost and empty- I've never felt the way I have with Desmond. 

*Ripple* I look up and see a circle that is emanating blue lights as if a door is being opened in a new realm. Then all of a sudden Jeremiah is spit out, wearing the same thing as the night of the party but he looks much older than a mere teenager. His hair is white and has wrinkles throughout his skin, if I had to guess he's been in my timeline for quite sometime. I see Gabe hitting the 'start' button on the timer. Jeremiah gets up from off his feet, shocked.

"NO! You can't be gone! I'm not done yet!" He screams. That's why he was going to penetrate me, he really was running out of time. Was this spell to reconstruct all of the mistakes he's made and just became... Impatient? He tries to run back into my timeline but it shoots him with a bolt of electricity. 

*BANG* 

Desmond kicks open the door, he's tapped fully into his vampire gene. He looks beautiful and I can't have him, anymore. He looks terrifying to the enemy, but hot for me. 

"Welcome back buddy, sorry I didn't bring the welcome party; but I think you've exceeded yours." His eyes are glowing even more red now, pretty sure I see something brown running down Jeremiah's leg.

"Look man, I was just doing what the contract said-"

"f**k you contract! I don't have time for this!" 

Desmonds muscles could tear through his shirt- he's on fire. Jeremiah has nowhere to jump to because his contract was about me, therefore his only timeline is gone. He's stuck and the only reason why Desmond has one minute is because that's when I'm 'dead'. After that my blood melts away the medicine and my heart starts to pump. Gabe has taken a seat at his desk reading a newspaper while this fight goes on.

"Good show isn't it?" I look behind me and see Gabe. I look out and see Gabe still reading his newspaper.

"But aren't- How did y-"

"It's apart of my magic- same with my Sister- majika. Were Cervidae."

"Deers?" He shakes his head no,

"Were are like deer- well I mean you could say we are but we're just apart of that family. Do you wonder why we cover ourselves with cloaks and face masks?" No I didn't wonder.

    I'm assuming their type is also in the 'level D' book. 

 "Just so you don't have to read about it I'll give you the details. My Father was a spell caster and my mother was at the time queen of nature, the reason for that is because she is the descendant of animals; her parents were cursed by my Fathers bloodline that she would be cursed for 6 generations of animal genes. Joke was on them that my Father fell in love with the cursed descendant. So our bloodline will be cursed for 5 generations more with this retched spell. We cover our face to hide our deer like faces and where this cloak to hide our antler like ears. My sister has the more prominent genes, she is the strongest in our family as well. When you see her eyes glowing- you can see her deer glowing in her iris." I look at him smiling.

"pfft! You're kidding right?" I laugh. He nods his head no. He is serious? His line comes from a curse of cervidae? 

"Gabe?" Desmond calls out, Gabe looks away from his newspaper.

"Yes?" The gabe where I am looks at me,

"I have to get going. See you in a couple." He disappears. I don't want to leave this reality because in this reality I get to remember desmond, when I actually return, I have to lie to him. 

I look at the floor, a lifeless body decimating into particles leaving the room slowly. His face swollen with bashes to the face, blood escaping from his nose. The guy on the floor is probably in his late 50's, I feel like throwing up- that's nasty; that old p*****t tried fuc*ing me. 

Desmond and Gabe are talking but I can't hear him, which means I'm coming to, right? The ball I was holding is gone, what I was holding onto was the truth and integrity I had. The image I had of the room was slowly fading, tears are starting to escape again. I have to put on my bes-

*GASP* 

I've snapped back into reality, my body sweating. I sit up- holding my chest. I have to pretend I have no Idea what I'm doing here and I must do it with such ease. I stare down at my hands, closing them then opening them. I touch my head to make sure I'm not imagining anything. 

" Alannah?" Desmond asks. I look at him- I want to kiss his soft lips and every other part, but I can't.

"Where am I? Where's my Mom!" I panic- I fake. Desmonds eyes grow sad, his colorless skin gets even paler. 

"Alannah, my name is Gabe and this is Desmond, you're in London-"

"LONDON! I should be in michigan!" I cry, my hands in my face. I felt desmonds hands on my back. Wait- isn't my memory supposed to be forgotten after the 'code red' spell? Which means I can remember Desmond- no. Gabe told me I have to forget him. These tears are meant for Desmond not my big lipped b***h mother. I look up in realization, remembering something, 

"Ms.Dean? Cerinia? Why do those names mean something to me?" Desmond looks at me in excitement,

"Ms. Dean won't mean much soon. But Cerina is your best friend."

"Cerina Annabella?" My eyebrows raise, this is getting exhausting. 

"Alannah, I need you to stand up for me, Desmond here will pick you up if you fall." I move my legs to hang over the metal table, I then place my feet on the solid tile- man does it feel good. Gabe comes around the table and looks up and down my arms and legs- I'm assuming for bruises. 

"Welcome back to life, you're good to go. Desmond will take you home."
