My Immortal Beloved
Chapter 13
by JT Poole

Oh God the bad guys have Justin and within a strange burst of light they're all gone.  Things aren't getting better for the witches and it looks like Jeremiah has the upper hand in all of this.  What's going to happen next to the Witches, let's find out and see.

A House Somewhere in the Orlando Hills Area

JC's POV

What the hell just happened?  Where in the hell did we just go and how did it happen?  One minute we're on the run trying to get away from Jeremiah's broods on the east side of town and now we're here, wherever here is.  I don't know if this is real or not, but it looks and feels that way.  Was the last few months all some kind of delusion or dream or what?  Regardless of what it was I'm tired and I'm so glad that it's finally over.

I feel like I've been running for years and now I finally get to sit down and rest.  I thought Kevin, Nick and Joey were going to run us down and kill all of us, but amazingly we're still alive.  I just can't believe any of this is real.  My mind is telling me that none of this is real, but my eyes, heart and soul feel something totally different.  Is this an illusion created by them or Jeremiah or what?

Since that flash of light, I haven't seen any sign of JT or Justin.  I wonder where both of them could be since I don't feel either of them.  I don't hear or see anyone or anything around me and this room is totally quiet that you could probably hear a pin drop if one was dropped.  This is totally a strange sensation for me now that I've gotten used to hearing everyone's thoughts in my mind.  I can't sense anything right now as it seems I don't even have any psychic powers to use.  What's really going on around here?

Looking around the room for any sign of where I currently was, I walked towards the windows and pulled the curtains back.  Oh my God!  Everything's changed and it all looks so beautiful.  Where the hell am I?

JT's POV

How long have I've been out for and where the hell am I?  How in the hell did I get in a fucking hot tub and how long have I been sitting here?  It must've been a while since my skin is all wrinkly.  Getting out of the water, I looked around the room for a towel and spotted one on the counter across the room.  Moving my hand and pointing at the towel to telekinetically move it to me, nothing happened.  Okay why didn't the towel lift up like I wanted it to and why didn't it come to me?  What the hell is going on?  That towel should have came on over to me as though my hand was actually over there to move it and bring it over here.  Something isn't right here.

"This must be another one of Jeremiah's tricks.  Why can't I use my powers?  Is this like that hole in the cave he had me trapped in or what?  Where the hell am I and where's Josh and Justin?"  I ask aloud, looking around the bathroom and then walking through the door that lead into a bedroom.  "Josh!  Justin!  Guys where are you?"

Something's not right.  I don't sense either of them and I can't feel them.  I can't even visualize either of them to try to teleport to where they are.

"Josh?  Justin?  Come on guys help me out.  I don't know where I am and it's freaking me out!"  I screamed out, looking around the room as I heard a door creak behind me.

"Baby I'm here," I hear him say as he walked over to where I was.

"I'm glad to see you baby," I say as he smiled at me.

"I'm glad to see you too baby," he says, looking around.  "Have you seen the outside?  It's so beautiful out."

"You've been outside?"  I ask him as he shakes his head at me.

"No I haven't been outside.  Baby where are we?"  He asks, looking around the room same as me.  "How did we get here to this place?  Hell, how long have we've actually been here and why are you naked?  I don't mind you being naked and all, I just want to know."

"I've been here for ah...well...ah...I can't remember that Josh," I tell him as he walked over towards the windows in the room and opened the curtains.  "I don't know how we got here and I don't know how I got naked I just know I was in there in the hot tub when I woke up."

"What in the hell is going on around here?  That's not what I saw earlier when I looked out the window!"  He screamed as he turned around to look at me.

"Josh what's going on?  Why are you shouting?"  I ask him.

"Baby calm down," he says, pulling the curtains closed.  "We're okay for now."

"We're not okay Josh," I say in an unemotional voice that he picked up on when I saw the look in his eyes when he looked up at me.  "Do you happen to know what time it is?"

"My watch shows it's a little after nine at night baby," he tells me, walking back over to me, reaching out and tweaking my nipple, causing me to moan out as he smiled at me.

"Someone's trying to be naughty here," I tell him, smiling back at him as he moved closer to me and groped my ass.

"Since you say there's a hot tub in the bathroom, why don't we go take advantage of it," he suggest, letting his finger glide down my chest, sending sexual sparks throughout my body as we moved into the bathroom over to where the hot tub was.

JC's POV

Oh God I don't care what we do as long as I get to kiss him over and over again like this.  I know we should be trying to figure out what's going on around here but I don't really care about that right now.  This is the first time we've actually had time to spend together and I'm going to enjoy it very much.  Damn his kisses can be considered lethal if he does it like this all the time.  I love kissing him, it's one of the things I love about him.

"What're you think about Josh?"  He asks me, letting his hands slip down to my ass as we continued to hold each other while standing in front of the hot tub.

"I'm sure you know that already baby," I tell him as he looks down and then I realized that his telepathy wasn't working either.  "Your telepathy isn't working either I take it."

"It's not," he says, looking up and lifting my chin as he kisses me on the mouth.  "But that doesn't matter right now.  I think you were trying to start something that involves the hot tub."

"Damn right baby," I tell him as the thunder clapped above us and everything around us went black.  "What the hell is going on?"

"That was the sappiest display of affection I've ever seen.  What do you gentlemen think?"  We heard Jeremiah ask as we turned around and were surrounded by Kevin, Joey, and Jeremiah.

"I think it was crap.  What about you Scott?"  Joey asks, rubbing his hands together now.

"I think it gets one thumb up and four sets of fangs down," Kevin says, laughing now as he advanced towards me as I pushed JT in one direction and ran in the other.

"Get away baby!  Run!"  I screamed out as JT looked at the other guys and then back to me and Kevin fighting.

"No!"  JT screamed as Joey started smiling and flew towards him.  "You tried to kill me once!  I'm not going to let you try again!"

"How are you going to stop me Alpha?"  Joey asked, punching JT in the face now and knocking him back against the wall.

"No JT!"  I screamed out as Kevin grabbed me and tried to sink his teeth into my neck.  "Get off of me you bastard!"

"You might as well stop struggling, you won't win.  This world belongs to us now.  There's no one else left to protect it," Jeremiah says as I struggled with Kevin trying to keep my eyes on what was going on with Joey and JT.

"You're evil!  Your side won't win!"  I screeched out as Kevin punched me in the stomach causing me to stop struggling and fall prey to his arms pulling me closer to him as he popped his fangs, ready to sink them into my neck.

"The way I see things right now dear boy, my side is already winning," Jeremiah says, laughing now that Kevin had me at a disadvantage and I didn't see a way out of it.

A Few Meters Away

Justin's POV

I'm already too tired to go on and I don't think I can muster up any more energy to keep running from Nick the way I have been for the last three hours.  Since I got separated from JT and Josh it's like I just want to give up and not go on any more.  I know I should be fighting Nick, but I love him and I don't want to hurt him.  Then again I don't want him to hurt me either.  All of this is so hard.  Me fighting for my life against him is so hard to do when I spent so many nights in that haze trying to do what I could to protect him while falling in love with him.

When I looked into his eyes earlier tonight before we were teleported away, I saw something strange in his eyes.  The Nick I know and love is in there somewhere.  I felt him in my mind and I heard him when he spoke to me.  I just don't know how to reach him and the way things are going right now, I'm not going to try.  I can't keep doing this.  Why is it every time I find what I want it gets taken away from me?  I don't deserve this crap!  I've worked too hard to get where I wanted to be only to be knocked down by love.  I'm not going to let this love be taken from me.  If Nick wants to turn me into a vampire then I'll let him.

"Why aren't you running Justin?"  I hear Nick ask behind me now as I turn to see him flying above me.

"Why should I run from you Nick?"  I ask him as he floated down to the ground in front of me.  "I'm tired of running from you Nick."

"Wise choice Justin," Nick says, smiling at me now.  "What made you come to this new conclusion?"

"If you want me so badly Nick, then here I am.  I'm tired of running from the man I love," I tell him as he grabbed my hand and pulled me to him.

"You love me do you?  You don't even know the real me.  You only know the outer shell and what I wanted you to see," Nick says as I shook my head at him.

"Who are you really?  I know you're not my Nick," I say as his eyes started glowing a bright red color.

"I'm Nick Carter you silly fool.  Why do you...Justin you know it's not really me?"  I heard as I pulled away from Nick and looked at him.  "Justin please get away from me.  Get away while you can.  I don't know how much longer I can stay in control. I love you too much to hurt you.  Please baby, please run!"

"Oh God Nick!  Nick I can help you," I say as he shook his head at me and then grabbed me by the throat.

"Help me do what Justin?"  Nick says as the love and fear I heard in his voice was replaced with evil and hatred.  "Help me kill all of your friends?  What is it that you're going to help me do?"

"I'm not going to help you do anything!"  I screamed, jumping back away from him.  "Epsilon!  Sonic Boom!"

(<EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE>)

"Justin we've been doing this all night.  Your powers can't hurt me.  I don't care which one you use towards me.  I'm immune to all of your powers," he says as I shook my head.

"You're not immune to all of my powers Nick.  You're not immune to my love.  If you were, my Nick wouldn't have been able to talk to me!"  I screamed at him as his eyes started to glow again.

"Your Nick is a nothing to me!  When Nadya is done with me he won't even matter anymore!"  He screamed out.

"No!  Epsilon!  Soul Smash!"  I screamed out as a beam of energy projected from my eyes at Nick, knocking him backwards a bit as he started laughing now.

"You're such a silly fool.  I wanted you to live for my host body's sake, but now I can give a fuck," he says, grabbing me by my arm and tossing me against a tree.

"Owww!"  I screamed out, rubbing the back of my head as I got up.  "I was going to give up but I won't to the likes of you."

"Good thing Epsilon.  Beta!  Icy Rage!"  I heard from behind me, but didn't recognize the woman that spoke those words since it wasn't Julie. Who the hell is she?

"I'm Witch Beta," she says, jumping in front of me to protect me from Nick's attack as she turned his skin to ice.

"You're not Julie," I say as she smiled at me and then grabbed me as we took off into the air.  "Where's Julie?"

"Julie got hurt and through other means, I'm here to take her place.  I'm Elizabeth Sheridan, Julie's ancestral replacement," she tells me as Nick materialized before us.

"Did you two think you could just get away that easily?"  Nick asked, laughing now as his body turned to fog and he was all around us.  "You can't get away from me Justin and your friend here can't help you!"

"That's where you're wrong mister!  Beta!  Body Frost!"  She screamed as Nick started screaming and he reconstituted himself and started falling to the ground.

"I never saw Julie use her powers before," I say as she smiled at me.  "What happened to her?  How did you get here in her place?"

"She was wounded badly while trying to protect herself and her friend from one of the creatures of the darkness.  As for how I got here I really don't know but I guess the Gods had something to do with that since it's the first time I've experienced something like this.  Being here is like a dream, but I'm actually here," she explains as we touched down at the hills on the other side of town heading out of town.

Back with JC, JT and Christina now

"Get your hands off of me you monster!"  JC screamed, pushing Kevin and Chris away from him.

"I like it when they fight like this.  It makes the conquest even better," Kevin says, smiling now as he liked his lips and walked closer to JC again.

"I'm going to keep fighting you until I either kill you or you kill me and I don't see that happening anytime soon!"  JC screamed as Chris jumped on his back, holding him tight while trying to attack his neck.

"Get off of him!"  Christina screamed.  "Delta!  Mind Revolt!"

"What?  How is that possible Jeremiah?  She's not supposed to be using her powers!"  Kevin screamed as Christina zapped him and he went down.

"What the hell!"  Jeremiah screamed, jumping back and disappearing into the shadows now.

`If Chrissie can use her powers then...Gamma!  Witch Transformation!"  JC screamed out as his body started to glow and he was decked out in his Witch Gamma costume.  "JT baby transform!"

"Gotcha!  Alpha!  Witch Transformation!"  JT screamed out as he started to glow like JC had and he was transformed too.  "Now the fun begins."

"If you think so, but I think we'll be the ones having fun, not you," Joey says, laughing now as he jumped back on top of JT again.

"Gamma!  Soul Blaze!"  JC screamed out, sending a flow of fire through Joey's body.  "Get away from my boyfriend!"

"Josh how could you...could you hurt me like that?"  Joey asked, getting up off the floor and smirking now.  "I thought we were best buds?"

"We stopped being that when you turned evil Joey!"  JC screamed, holding his hand out at Joey like he was aiming a gun, waiting for Joey to make a move.

"Delta!  Mind and Soul Shock!"  Christina screamed, using her powers, sending Chris flying past JC.  "That's what you get for trying to kill me you freak!"

"We have to get out of here guys.  Something's wrong with Julie and Justin," Christina says as Jeremiah appeared before them.

"You're not going anywhere!"  Jeremiah screamed out as he opened his cloak and the room was filled with more vampires and other of his creatures of the night.  "Take them down now!"

"What the hell!  Alpha!  Night's Annihilation!"  JT screamed, projecting a beam of energy at Jeremiah, knocking him back against the wall as he smiled and disappeared again.

"You won't win Alpha.  I promised you that I would kill you and I'll do just that," Jeremiah says, appearing in the shadows behind JT.

"No!  Gamma!  Midnight Sun!"  JC screamed, lighting up the area behind JT as Jeremiah shielded his eyes and disappeared again.

"We can't stop all of these things!  We need help!"  Christina screamed out as her body fell to the floor.

"Delta?  What happened to her?"  JC asked, dodging arms and legs as he did his best to keep himself protected.

`I'm in my psychic form Josh, don't worry about me,' Christina mentally says, moving from creature to creature trying to use her mind to shut their mind down.

"Alpha!  Magic Reflection!"  JT shouts, sending a magical energy wave throughout the room, knocking down all the creatures.  "Ahhhh!"

"Are you alright JT?"  JC asked as JT fell to his knees.

"That was too much power," JT says, getting back to his feet now as one of the creatures jumped towards him.  "No!  Icy Rage!"

"Are you going to be okay?"  JC asked, holding onto JT now as he was trying to catch his breath.

"I'm trying," JT says as the two of them turned just in time to block an attack.

"We have to get out of here and now," JC says, holding off the woman that was trying to attack them with flame around his hand.  "I'm tired and we can't keep going like this.  We need to find the others so we can regroup."

"You're not going anywhere," the woman next to us says as she got closer to JT and starts glowing.  "Jeremiah wants you dead and that's just how you're going to end up!"

"Not likely," JC shouts, using his power against the woman, knocking her back against the wall as he grabbed JT and tried to get them away.

"You won't escape!"  The woman shouts, grabbing onto JT's leg causing him and her to scream out like they were in pain.

"What the hell is going on?"  JC asked, kicking the woman off of JT as she fell to the ground, still screaming as her body started glowing brighter.  "Baby are you okay?"

"She's...she's not...she's not a vampire...she's one...one...one of us," JT says as he closed his eyes and his head fell to the side.

"JT!  JT baby wake up!"  JC screamed, shaking JT's body trying to get him to open his eyes.  "Chrissie I need help!"

"Hi guys, need a hand?"  Wade asked, popping caps into the asses of some of the creatures around as he ran into JT and JC.  "I was in the neighborhood when I sensed a few of my charges so I thought I'd drop by."

"Oh God Wade, I'm so glad to see you," JC says as the other creatures circled around the three of them.  "Chrissie get back into your body and let's get out of this place!"

"Right here with you guys," Christina says, turning around quickly and zapping two of the creatures that were trying to grab for her.  "What's going on with the woman over there?"

"I don't know but the last thing JT said was that she was one of us," JC says as Wade looked in the direction that Christina was pointing and disappeared and then reappeared with the woman in his arms.

"She's not one of his yet.  She's showing residual effects of the vampire infection, but she's not one of them.  Which only means Jeremiah was only using her for a pawn since he couldn't turn her," Wade says.

"How did he find her and who is she?"  JC asked as they joined hands and disappeared, leaving a trail of light as they went.

On the Outskirts of Town in the Opposite Direction

Wade's POV

This seems so very strange to be holding this magically created vampire in my arms.  I almost expect for her to wake up and grab me and try to bite me or something.  When we teleported out of where we were the strain of us building up the energy we needed to leave knocked her out.  Now that she's asleep, I was able to reach into her mind to try to find out how it was that Jeremiah got to her. 

The strangest thing is that her thoughts are very strange and confusing to me.  I've never encountered a mind like hers, it's like she's not like the others.  I already know she's not part of the regular group of chosen protectors since there's no mention of her with them.  The book only spoke of five earthly protectors and she would make six.  Why does she exist and how does she play into things?

"I don't know Wade but maybe you should ask the book," JC says, looking over at me as he held JT in his arms.

"Yeah right buddy," I say, shaking my head.  "The book is gone.  When the vamps invaded the other house I think they took the book."

"Well isn't that fucking great," I hear from behind me to see Justin walking over with a strange woman.

"Who is this woman?"  JC asks, lightly laying JT's head on the ground as he got up off the ground into a fighting stance.

"Calm down fellas," the woman says as she got closer to the rest of us and we all started glowing including our rescued woman.  "I'm one of you; I'm not here to hurt anyone.  I'm Witch Beta or the original at least."

"What!"  JC screamed, standing in front of JT's body now.  "That's a likely story.  Gamma!"

"Stop Josh!"  Justin shouted out, holding his hands up and standing in front of the woman.  "She's telling the truth."

"How do you know she's telling the truth Justin?"  JC asked.

"If she was going to hurt someone, she would've hurt me already.  She saved me from Nicky," Justin replies, looking down at the ground as he started to cry now.

"How are you Beta?"  JC asked, walking over to Justin and hugging him.

"Your Beta was hurt while trying to protect herself from the creatures of the night.  Before she was killed, something froze her in time and space and then I was brought here and she went somewhere to heal.  I just don't know who what or why.  All I know is that I was with Randolph at the time and then I was here and some voice told me I was taking her place until she was healed."

"Wade is that possible?"  JC asked as he looked over to me.

"I...I don't really know.  I've never seen anything like this," I say as he looked down at JT and then back around at the rest of us.

"I don't trust you and I don't know you.  I suggest you don't give me any reasons to fight you," JC tells her as she nods at him.
