Chapter 1: End to the Beginning
(9:30 pm)
John sat in his hotel room. His cruel smile graced the menacing face of his. It was so easy to trick Adam into revealing his secrets of the time traveling device. He was always considered to be the least intelligent of the Five. Adam had underestimated him and now the fragile body lied lifeless in the Victorian era hotel.
John's cold gaze moved to the clock. Soon he would be gone; he would disappear from the history books. He would have his Helen, and she would give birth to their child. He could feel a strange tingle in his arms and legs. John glanced down at his fading form and chuckled. "It is complete."
-x-x-
(9:00 pm)
John stared at the mirror; he could not forget the man in the alley. The words still rang in his ears. He could not believe that was his future. That disgusting creature was what he would be if he took the blood. Not only would he become a killer, he would lose Helen and their child. He simply could not let her do this. He knew all the time and effort put into this would cause the others great pain to see their work fade away.
John looked up as the blond goddess opened the door. "John darling, are you feeling alright?"
Turing to face her John shook his head. "I do not think this is a good idea." John took her hands in his. "Helen this blood could turn us into killers."
Helen stared at the face of her lover. She could see the fear in his eyes. He never looked so scared before; her hands brought his to her mouth. "We should tell the others then." Helen hid the disappointment she felt.
John looked down for a moment; he felt bad asking her to do this. He couldn't tell her the real reason for this change of heart, if she knew the truth it would be different. John pushed the thoughts from his mind and pulled Helen closer to him. "Thank you, my love."
Helen smiled softly and kissed his cheek. John smiled walked out of the small room. He swallowed hard now as the fun began; convincing the others to do the same would not be as easy. Nigel would not mind not doing it. He was a follower not a leader so there would be no fuss. James was his best friend and after telling him the dangers, he would not make a fuss either. However when it came to the damn Serbian it would be difficult to and convince him not to. How since he was already sure of James and Nigel siding with him, Nikola did not matter. John felt relief as he walked into the drawing room with Helen.
"So are we ready?" Nikola's accent was heavy.
Helen let go of John's hand and shook her head. "I think we need more time to study on this."
James looked Helen. "More time? What else is there we can do with the blood?"
Nikola exchanged looks with James then looked to John. "Helen you were so excited…what happened?" Nikola asked. He would stand by her decision but only if it was hers.
"John made a point; we have not tested this blood. It could kill us or turn us into abnormals that could kill." Helen looked at John.
"Nigel, what do you think?" John asked the quite member.
"I don't care really. I am happy not doing it." Nigel said indifferent to the situation.
"Fine, we study more on it." James said not wanting to oppose John. His fears were relevant.
Nikola crossed his arms. "I think this is a mistake! This is to be our moment, and it is ruin by petty fears."
"Nikola please, I just want to study it more before we do anything." Helen said softly.
"Fine, have it your way." Nikola grumbled. He could help but feel like he failed. The source blood was supposed to fix things for him. It was to give him a fighting chance with Helen and to make his inventions more credible. Now he would be just ordinary and plain.
Nikola looked at the clock; it was 9:30. Helen smiled at the group as she walked back to John. The sight made Nikola feel ill. It was James who made the mention of the time. Nikola was glad and was the first to exit the room.
John smiled as he felt successful. He would have his life and there would be no worries in it. He was pulled from his thoughts as Helen wrapped her arms around him. John kissed her head mumbling a thank you as they walked to the door. What was to become the beginning of their life was now truly the end.
