Vampire trilogy II part: The Ancient power
Chapter 1
Blood ties
Bang! The bullet cut the air and flew into target's head. The target was made like a soldier of the Holy Order. Another two appeared next and they were shot as the previous. The talented sniper lowered her pistol and smirked at her job. The sound of applause broke the silent.
"Well done, Sel. You were training about a month without stop! You need to rest!" – said Valdemar. Selin took away her fair hair; she cut a little bit shorter, and shook shoulders:
"I'm not tired at all!"
But she lied. Selina's eyes were red cause of the bad sleeping; she slimmed down and looked haggard.
"I don't think so. And I know, my father cared about you, as I am now. You really have to go on small vacations."
"Yeah … maybe you right … I can travel to New-York and find out something about my past."
"Take Kiara with you. She'll be glad to change the scenery."
"What do you mean, I can't go with you!
Angelica was pregnant, on the eighth month, and Selina didn't want to take her for such long fly.
"You'll soon become a mother, what if you'll bear your daughter in the plane?"
Kiara's words sounded sensibly, but the pregnancy made Angelic stubborn.
"I won't! I'm a witch! I can control my body!"
"Don't be ridiculous!" – said Sel tiredly, rubbing her temples.
"Irvin always busy in the Council, and I'm alone! Besides my aunt Lucien lives in New-York. Please!"
"Ah, alright … pack your luggage. I'll book tickets," – Ki took the telephone. Suddenly Angelica fell in her armchair, stroking her abdomen.
"What!" – exclaimed her frightened friends.
"Baby … she's pushing," – smiled witch, making girls to breath calmly.
"I guess we'll have lots of problems with you!"
Ki and Angelic were waiting for the plane in the passenger zone, while Selin argued with a woman in the uniform about her passport. Finally she solved this problem and wanted to go to her friends, when she noticed familiar figure in all black and sunglasses. Dracula has just arrived from Bucharest, where he spent for about a month by circumstances, unknown to Sel. She really missed him and was glad to meet at least for an hour.
"Hello, Vlad. Seduced someone in Romania?" – She teased after the passionate and sweet kiss.
"Oh, yeah, nearly a … I can't tell you exactly."
Selina smirked, and Vladislaus saw that she is in awful state.
"You look so exhausted, my love."
"Don't mind about it. I've been working hardly for all this month."
He took her on his hands in bridal manner:
"You don't care about yourself, so I'll do it!"
"Vlad! Put me down! The boarding! I can miss my plane!"
Count put her down:
"Leaving so soon?"
"Yeah, I have to. I want to find out something about my past in New-York."
"Why New-York?"
"That handkerchief with my name was done there, the fabric is closed now, but I still have one small hope."
"Alright, my love, I'll be waiting for you here, good luck then."
They kissed again, this time it was difficult to say goodbye.
"Selin, the plane!"
"I'm coming!"
"Thanks for choosing our company. The crew of the plane wishes you pleasant flight," – said the sweet voice of stewardess. Most passengers closed eyes, waiting for intense shaking, and only Selin tried to sleep, but it was almost impossible to sleep without coffin, so she just was sitting with closed eyes. Kiara was staring at Angelica, but the witch looked pretty well and didn't complain on pain. Twenty minutes later passengers unbuttoned the belts and prepared for drinks. The stewardess walked to the friends' seats.
"Oh, we have a mommy here! Do you need a pillow or a blanket?"
Angelic sparkled eyes in anger, she hated when someone nurse with her or call her 'mommy'.
"I'm thirsty! Have you got beer?"
The stewardess stared at her popped-eyed, with no idea what to say.
"Milk for her, five cups of coffee and one glass of water," – pronounced Sel quietly. The woman nodded, gave them what they asked for and hurried to another seats.
"Very nice, Angel."
Kiara crossed hands on her chest and shook head captiously.
"Shut up, girls, my head is going to blow."
"Sorry, Sel."
New-York met girls with calm and moonless winter night. (A/n: 'It was winter! Haven't I written it yet?') They stayed in Angelica's aunt's big flat in the center of the city. After a long talk Selina settled down in a narrow wooden container, while others preferred beds.
Vampiress awoke after the sunset and flew away without saying to anyone. She got a sms-notice from Lora with such content: 'Be careful. Van Helsing is in N.-Y."
'Soldiers of the Holy Order must be here, too,' – decided Selin and planned to visit the library until morning and take her friends away before Gabriel found them. She was sure, he killed Victor, and her hate reached the apogee.
She landed on the windowsill like a ghost and made the window to open. Then she started searching the shelves quickly, trying to find something about the railway accident in 1895. First there was nothing special, but soon she found few diskettes, set at the computer and read:
"The most mysterious tragedy on the railway, June 1895 … that's not interesting! Oh, where is it? Aha! The list of victims. Letter C … Cabborn, Cale … Selina Cale … Vlad was right! The handkerchief was mine. Inconsolable mother buried me on an old cemetery, how pretty."
Sel smirked coldly and changed the diskette:
"My whole life on one page … It was short. Born in 23 December in 1874, then catholic school, at least I left my small home-town. Ah, I worked in a newspaper in San-Francisco. I've never imagined that I could be a corrector in a newspaper!"
Sel learned the address of her grave and of her last relative – Samantha – elder sister. Then she turned off the computer and left the library through the window.
After two hours of flying Selina landed on the nice lawn and made a few steps to the house. She didn't know, why she came here, perhaps she just wanted to be sure, that her relatives alive and healthful. 'What am I doing! Samantha is dead now; she can't be … one hundred and ten years old!' – thought Sel, but something made her to stand there. Suddenly the light appeared in one of the windows on the first floor where kitchen was. A very old woman in white robe went out and stared at Selin in surprise.
"Hello, my dear girl. Please, come in and tell me, what are you doing here at night?"
'Is she crazy? She doesn't know me and invites into the house! Well, at least her blood isn't tasty and useful for me,' – thought Sel and followed the old woman.
"You know, dear, I live here with only my grandson and don't have many guests," – the woman offered Selina to sit and put two cups of tea on the table. Vampiress didn't touch her cup and kept silent. The old woman studied her leather suit with interest, then her face, which seemed familiar.
"What's your name, dear?"
Sel flinched.
"And why do you worn so lightly, when it's so cold?"
"First tell me, is Samantha Cale alive?"
The granny filled in her thoughts for a while.
"You mean Samantha Winter?"
"Yeah …"
"She was my mother and now lies between her husband and her poor sister," – she rose from the chair and went out of the kitchen, she backed with a huge old photo album.
"Look, this is Selina. She was so young. I don't remember her at all."
Sel recognized herself on the black-and-white photo; she wore old-fashioned dress, her long hair was decorated with a nice hat and a smile was on her face. Two women with the same amber eyes surrounded her.
The oldest was her mother and the other one – Samantha.
"You look just like Selina on the photo!" – exclaimed the old woman.
"Can I take it?"
"Of course, but if you'll tell me your name, and who was my pour aunt to you?"
"You know it …" – Sel's eyes became gold, while she was hypnotizing her niece.
"Yes, right. You know, my mother liked to talk about her sister. Selina was a very responsible and hard-working, she acted older than she was and always cared about my mother. Pour thing, her body wasn't found after the fire, her grave is empty."
"Had she got a bridegroom or a boyfriend?"
"No, Selina was a loner, you know, career, family and again career."
"Thanks, so I'll go, goodbye."
"Goodbye, my dear."
Sel put the photo into the pocket, but she didn't go out. Vampiress went upstairs noiselessly and opened the room of her second great grandson. The man was sleeping on the sofa with child's sleep. He reminded Samantha, almost the same attractive features.
'Hello, grandson, you don't know me, but … Ah, I think I'm crazy!' – thought Selin, she slowly walked to the desk with piles of books on it, took on of his photos with granny and then put it into the pocket. 'I became so sentimental!'
The man, who looked on her age, opened eyes slowly and set on his bed.
"Who are you?" – he asked, surprising to see such beautiful woman with sparkling eyes.
"Just a dream … what's your name, boy?"
"Caleb …"
"Sleep, Caleb … take care about your grandmother, find a girl and marry. Charlotte wishes to nurse with children … goodbye …"
She disappeared in the window.
And Caleb has never forgotten this spirit of long last relative …
