This is the 2nd story to Apocalyptic. It is called The End is Nigh and hope you guys like it. Like the 1st one the key is the same and also like the 1st will there will be the same characters and I will try to finish it quickly. The only difference is that in the 1st one I didn't state the last Wild Power because I didn't think I would do a 2nd story so 2 new OC characters.
Disclaimer: I do not own Night World only my OC's.
Key:
"Regular talking"
"emphasis"
'Telepathy'
Thoughts (in thoughts and telepathy emphasis is regular)
Change in point of view
-*- scene change (sometimes I will state the change, it will be like this; -*- "…" -*-)
The dead line rang on. Everyone remained quiet as they stared at the phone. Catalina peeled herself off of Red Fern and stepped forward. "Told you it was danger." She said matter-of-factly.
Thierry sighed and pressed the speaker button thus cutting off the sound. Thierry started to stare off into the distance. That was not good. Even though it was just a single threat via phone lines that was still not good. He felt a hand rest on his shoulder. He didn't have to turn his head and look, he knew it was Hannah. He could feel her concern and he could feel her fear. Thierry's hand reached up and rested on top of her hers. "We have to work fast." He said suddenly. He turned his attention to each of the Wild Powers. "Practice, now. Keep practicing until you can't any more. This call just increased our danger." The Wild Powers nodded and quickly left the room without another word. Their soulmates followed as well. Thierry then looked at Catalina and Red Fern. "Before you do anything we need to have you situated in a room and then you can rest for a bit if you wish."
Catalina shook her head. "I'll go train with the Wild Powers. I need to fully understand their powers for me to work alongside them." She looked at Red Fern with soft hazel eyes. "Could you please get the room ready?" Red Fern was about to object when Catalina spoke again, not out loud but mentally. 'Red Fern I need you to that for me. The danger for everyone just rose and I've never had a prophecy that turned out so quickly. So please… Please do that for me.' She smiled at him. 'I just know that the moment I come back I will take a shower and crash.'
Red Fern smiled slightly but he still didn't like it. He was going to keep his promise to Circle Regeneration, he is not taking any risks that might hurt Catalina but he knew that to protect her he had to let her do this. He didn't like it but he is going to let her go. "Alright Catalina. I'll fix everything up."
"Thank you Red Fern." She reached out to him and he did the same in return. They held hands and the tiniest flame ignited between them. We're getting used to it now… Catalina thought with no emotion. She was neither sad nor happy. She was both. She was happy that it wasn't distracting them from each other but she was happy because she will never feel that same flame again. Like the flame when they first touched, or the flame in the library, or in the shack when they had their second kiss. She sighed and turned away, her hand falling lightly to her side.
Red Fern
My hand clenched up into a fist and it fell limply to my side. Catalina disappeared then into the other room leaving me alone with the rest of Circle Daybreak. I exhaled loudly and to me it almost sounded like a groan. I clapped my hand together then and looked around the room. "So… Where do we stay?"
Moments later I was in front of Catalina's and my room. Hannah actually was the one to walk me down. "The Wild Powers' soulmates will probably lave in a moment." She said before I opened the door. I looked at her and my hand on the doorknob twitched slightly. She sighed quietly. "If you hurry maybe you can go with them."
I smiled at her. "As much as I would love to… Catalina asked me to stay here and make the room all ready. She told me the moment she comes back she's taking a shower and crash."
Hannah smiled back at me. It was a nice smile and it sort of distracted me from her birthmark. It was just so cool looking. I almost want one. "Alright. Well, tonight we're having Pizza Hut for dinner."
"Alright!" I cheered. I don't remember when the last time I had Pizza Hut. Hannah chuckled at my reaction. "Thank Hannah." I said suddenly. "I'll just prepare the room and I don't know," I shrugged, "maybe I'll look around."
Hannah looked shocked for a moment then realization hit her face. The first time I came here I didn't get the tour. I was sent off to Florida immediately, a trip I thought I would hate completely but ended up loving it. I grinned and Hannah looked at me weirdly. I cleared my throat but my grin did not leave my face. She then nodded. "Hope you get everything ready quickly. If you need anything try and find someone. They'll help."
"Thanks again Hannah." She nodded once more and made her way down the hallway. With the grin still plastered on my face I walked into the room. My jaw dropped. It looked almost like Catalina's room, the layout I mean. It was much smaller than her enormous room but it was amazingly the same layout, almost. The king sized bed was on the right wall with an armor directly in front and there was a computer on the back left hand corner—it was a corner desk— and one door to the immediate right . I guessed it was a bathroom or a closet, probably a closet. Like my room down in Florida the bathroom was probably down the hall somewhere. Dragging in the stuff into the room and letting the door close behind me I decided to walk to that door first to see what it really was. I reached the door in no time and opened it. It revealed a bathroom. It was new and cleaned and maybe even refurbished. It was a good sized bathroom. There was a shower in the back wall and it took the whole wall. There was a counter on the wall in front of the door. It was a 2-sink sink stainless steel with marble countertop and oak wood cabinets with 6 doors to open to the bottom compartments. The mirror above the cabinets was as long as the counter itself. There was though a medicine cabin smack dad in the middle of that mirror. It was positioned in the middle of the mirror at the location of the middle of the counter— if that makes any sense at all. The toilet was to the immediate right of the door. I thought of it as an awkward place to put a toilet but I soon found the reason of its placing. To the left of the door was yet another door. Opening it and flipping a switch on the wall I saw a walk in closet that was probably the same size of the bathroom. My guess was that the closet took one half of the back wall and the bathroom took the other. What I didn't understand was why there wasn't a door from the bedroom straight to the closet. I shrugged and left the bathroom. I left the lights on for I knew I would just go back in to put clothes in.
Moments passed and I had the bedroom all ready. I carried the bathroom supplies into said room and started placing them in their spots. I completely amazed myself. Just two days staying in the same room with Catalina and I already know where all of her stuff's supposed to go. (An: Before Catalina and Red Fern left to go to Vegas they stayed 2 extra days to make sure everything was alright before they left.) I shuddered softly as I placed her tampons and pads in the cabinets. I shook myself out and closed the door. This is also what happens when you don't live with women for centuries. Heh… I'm-a wuss. I taunted myself. I threw Catalina's clothes luggage on the bed. She has one of those sets of luggage that have 4 different sizes. She only brought the extra large and the large one. I stopped myself. That's a whole bunch of stuff what am I talking about? I unzipped the luggage. I immediately went to work on taking out the clothes and shaking them out and placing them on the many hangers I saw in the closet. Once I reached the bottom of the luggage I grinned. I pulled out a pair of hot pink thong panties with red hearts on the print and black lace. "Where did she hide this?"
Catalina
I looked around the desert. "This is so perfect." I said. Delos scoffed and his soulmate Maggie shook her head and held onto his arm. I felt giddy as I stood before all four Wild Powers. I couldn't believe it. Me, in front of the Wild Powers. I felt a big smile creep onto my face, all thoughts of danger escaped my mind. "So, what training do you guys do?"
Jezebel, or Jez, stretched. "We just do a little exercise, cut ourselves, and shoot some stuff. The works."
"Sounds like something I would say." Morgead mumbled beside her.
"That pretty much sums it up." Illiana shrugged. "Though I really dislike the blood part." She shuddered. "I can't stand the sight of blood."
"You should be used to it by now." Delos said. "We've been training for how long?"
"Well excuse me for my shakiness with blood." Illiana said coolly.
Maggie groaned. "You two always have this argument. Don't you just not do it anymore?"
"Because they are both broken records." Conan the last Wild Power said. He is the only shapeshifter with Wild Power abilities. His skin tone was mocha colored and his dark brown hair almost looked blonde in the light. His eyes are what really peaked my interest. They were red, not light red but dark bright red. The eyes you would associate with the bad guy. He, like Illiana, didn't have a soulmate. I feel sorry for him because all the girls were scared because of his eyes. That surprised Circle daybreak since they heard that he actually had a soulmate, truth of the matter was that he was protecting his best friend which was also a shapeshifter and his soulmate. He pushed his torso forward and his backed cracked. His torso fell back in line as he started cracking his neck and fingers. "Now if you excuse me, I've got to practice using the blue fire in my cheetah form. Thank you." Then the transformation started as his body started getting smaller and his skin was being replaced by fur.
"Hey Conan," Morgead said, "guess what?" Conan growled softly. "By your name I would have thought you were a wolf not a kitty cat." Conan shook his cheetah head and ran a little farther out. It was true though, I said to myself, Conan does mean wolf. I wondered if his parents wanted him to become a wolf but he decided to be a cheetah.
I didn't notice that 10 minutes passed until Maggie shook me. "Catalina! For God's sake girl. Zoned out there?"
"Sorry." I said. "I was just wondering about Conan's name."
"Well whatever you thought is probably right." Morgead said tiredly.
"What?" I asked him. "That his parents wanted him to be a wolf?"
"Exactly." He said. "Conan here became a cheetah to try to impress this female shapeshifter who was, you guessed it, a cheetah."
"Sadly," Maggie chimed in, "she didn't find that impressive and there you go. A wolf-cheetah."
"Wolf-cheetah?" I asked them.
Morgead nodded. "That's his nickname. It started when we met the dude. We heard his name and was about to call him a wolf when he said 'cheetah'."
Maggie nodded. "It was just 'cheetah' so it came out to be wolf-cheetah."
"That's…" I was at a loss of words. That was somewhat cool yet very unnerving for some reason. I quickly shook my head. "I'm going to train."
"Alright." They both told me. I backed up and started to change. In seconds I was in my wolf form and I stood onto my back paws. I took a deep whiff of air in my nose and smelled all the wonderful scents of the desert. Then my ears moved forward as I heard breath escape from both Morgead and Maggie. I looked at them and saw that they had their mouths hanging slightly and their faces were turned upwards. I heard a loud boom and I looked out into the desert. I saw all four of the Wild Powers stare at me. I got uncomfortable very quick and I fell onto my fours.
Jez was the first to speak. "Damn! Catalina is that you?"
Delos ran a hand through his hair and he shook his head slowly. "I've never seen anything like that- like her." Conan only stared.
I closed my eyes and sent out a message to each of them. 'We've got to train so instead of staring at me of who I am the only one of my kind and it is logical that I am different. Besides… It's making me uncomfortable.'
So, there's the first chapter. Please review.
