Chapter 2: Superstition

Washington D.C- United States

Mira quickly changed her clothes the second she walked into her apartment. The flight home was spent in awkward silence. Paige didn't know what to say after what had happened in the tomb. Ingrid Remington was far more powerful than she first thought and it was an error on her part for not realizing that she was being followed in the first place.

Looking in the mirror at her reflection, she realized that she really didn't resemble the Remington family line at all. She had long black hair with a natural violet highlight, which showed up when she turned sixteen. Her mother always told her that it was a witch trait; but no one else had it to compare it to. Her soft hazel eyes were met with a blue ring around her pupils, another unusual trait that got her made fun of a lot in school. She never minded either trait, in fact, she actually liked them.

"Oh, grandma...don't you see that what you want is wrong..." She whispered as she splashed water on her face.

It was probably one of the hardest things she had ever had to endure, the fact that she had to turn her back on her own flesh and blood just to fight for what she believed was right. Shaking her head from the awful thoughts, she dried her hands and painted her nails a hunter green color. It matched her black lace tank top and light colored mini shorts with studded belt.

"Mira! Are you ready to go yet?" Paige yelled from outside her apartment door.

"I guess I can't put this off any longer." She whispered and made her way towards the door.

Opening the door, the perky novice vampire was standing there was a smile upon her face. Mira couldn't help but return her smile. There was so much life inside her partner and sometimes she envied it. The sound of the heels on her boots against the carpeted hallway left a hollow ring in her ears. There was so much running through her mind that a single solid cohesive thought couldn't even form.

"Are you sure that you want to do this? They still believe that you are just a superstition." Paige asked taking note of Mira's silence.

"I have to. If I don't get both species on my side, there is no hope in getting the amulet back. And I'll...I'll become the weapon that will obliterate your kind and the wolves from existence forever." She answered without even looking in her direction.

"But that's what I don't understand. How can you just become a weapon?"

"You will learn eventually..."

Mira's eyes were beginning to burn with emotion. She hated the thought of ever doing harm to anyone; but now things had really begun to change. Her family have become hostile and more violent towards the vampires and werewolves of the city; but their hatred ran deeper than that. They wanted to remove all vampires and werewolves from all over the world. Erase them from existence.

As a child, she was brought up to fear them; but as it turned out...it was her own family that she needed to fear above all others. Her family that was so greedy for more power that it blinded them to the real priorities in life. She could remember the day she learned of her purpose in life. The feeling of betrayal devoured her entire being. It wasn't until a year later that she finally turned her back on the whole coven.

"Mira, we are here..." Paige announced.

"Let's get this underway..."

Paige led her friend up the stairs to the front gate. Her fingertip pushed a large white button. Within a few seconds, a loud click sounded and the gate opened. It granted them access to the mansion beyond the long walk way. She could tell that Mira was nervous. She could almost taste it in the air around them.

"Welcome back, Paige." A young male greeted as he stood guard at the front door.

"Thanks, Zack..."

"Who is your guest?"

Her eyes instantly moved over towards Mira. She was looking for some help in explaining what she was doing there. The blue eyes narrowed slightly. She was annoyed by the ever growing questions. She just wanted to get in and talk to the prince. "My name is Mira and I'm here to see the prince." She replied.

"Do you have an appointment with him?" Zack asked inquisitively.

"Not exactly; but this is extremely important. Your survival depends on it."

The guard simply laughed at the statement. Mira snorted in annoyance. She knew his arrogance would one day get himself killed. If he thought that he was invincible, then he was sadly mistaken. Vampires might be immortal by human standards; but they could certainly be killed. "Don't be a dick. Just let me take her to him. What this woman has to say is gravely important to us." Paige interrupted.

"Tch...fine; but he's in a foul mood. Just a FYI."

"Thank you..."

Zack pushed the entrance doors open and Paige led the way inside. Mira could see a large amount of Victorian structure within the home. She wondered if it was just a vampire thing to live in old classic places or if it was just the local ones. The musty scent was throughout the entire place and it brought back the only fond memories she had growing up.

They turned the corner and just as Paige pushed the large oak doors open, a wave of dread washed over her. Her prince was the apple of her eye so to speak. She was utterly fond of him and his beautiful looks were just a bonus that equally met with his personality.

"Paige?" His warm voice greeted.

"I'm sorry for the interruption, Seth; but I felt it was imperative for you to hear what this woman has to say." She replied kneeling before him.

Mira watched as a fairly tall man stood up from the chair he had been sitting in at the end of a long table surrounded by a half a dozen of other men. His dark eyes bore into her, reaching out to her in a slight caress. She could see that he had long black hair with some strands blonde and neatly trimmed facial hair.

"I'll be the judge of that." He replied short and coldly.

Paige flinched slightly at the comment; but held her tongue, knowing what would happen if she stepped out of line once more. The way he talked brought back a lot of not-so-good memories for Mira. That was exactly how Ingrid talked to everyone in the coven, even if they were blood related.

Seth turned away from Paige and looked directly at Mira. He could sense an urgency in her blood. He could smell the power radiating on her and he just knew that she was a witch. If there was one species he hated just as much as the werewolves, it was witches.

"Why in the hell did you bring a witch here?" He yelled at the already cowering Paige.

"I asked her to bring me here." Mira interrupting, not liking the fear on her friend's face.

"So why does a witch seek an audience with me?"

Paige finally got to her feet without trembling and stood beside another vampire in line. Mira cleared her throat so as not to let her voice squeak upon speaking to the ignorant prick before her. She knew that needed to speak clearly and accurately or the visit would be a total bust. It was her only chance to get them on her side.

"Your species as well as the werewolves is in great danger. The witches are in possession of an amulet that will turn Ingrid Remington's granddaughter into a weapon that will annihilate both species out of existence."

"That is just a legend. There is no prove of the child to have ever been born."

"You are foolish to believe that. She was indeed born and is standing right before you."

Seth's widened ever so slightly. He didn't want to believe that the woman before him was the dreaded child from the thousand year old witch prophecy that was believed to be just a superstition just to scare the vampire and the werewolves into submission. "My name is Mira Remington, born September 22, 1986."

"That's impossible. The autumn equinox changes it's date every year." Another vampire inserted.

"But this year it is the twenty-second and it would be her twenty-eighth birthday." Paige replied.

"It's absurd to think that this woman will be our downfall. I'll just kill her now and it will solve all our problems." Another yelled.

Seth yelled out his objection; but it was already too late. The young vampire used his speed and raced in towards Mira's body. She shifted slightly, feeling his presence coming. Holding her hand out towards him, she whispered a single word. "Torporis."

Her eyes sparked with a single white light just as the vampire's body fell to the ground, limp and unmoving. Paige knew that Mira had powerful magic; but paralyzing a vampire was beyond her comprehension. Her eyes looked directly into her fallen comrade's. He was searching for a way to break free; but beyond all that, he was afraid.

"Why come to us and tell us a secret like this?" Seth asked unable to hide his own fear.

"I don't wish to become this weapon. Nor do I want to make your kind or the werewolves extinct. It's not right." Mira replied.

"Paige!"

"Ye...yes sir..." She replied softly.

"I apologize for yelling at you. You were indeed right to bring her here."

Mira turned to look at Paige with a smile and a nod of her head. Despite everything, she had stuck with her without question. She couldn't ask for a better friend. Seth reached down to lift Paige up by the hand. The look on his face changed drastically from earlier in the conversation. He stared into her eyes for a moment longer than expected. It was like they were sharing a mental exchange of words.

"Can I ask you to do one more thing for me?" He asked.

"Of course."

"Stay with Mira. If the amulet is in the possession of Ingrid, then we have a lot of work to do in retrieving it. The only way were can accomplish such a feat is with the help of the wolves."

The sound of groans and protests echoed throughout the entire room; but the second Seth held his hand up, the sounds died. He didn't like the idea any more than the rest of his kind did; but it wasn't about them. It was about survival and sometimes when it came to protecting ones kind, you need to ask for help in enemies.

"You can count on me. I'll take her to the wolves." Paige answered with a smile.

"Be careful. They trust no one and remember one bite will kill you."

"No one will be killing anyone as long as I'm in control of myself." Mira stated.

Seth leaned in a placed his lips on top of Paige's forehead. The tender moment was enough for Mira to know what she was doing was the right thing. She snapped her fingers and lifted the paralysis on the vampire soldier lying on the floor. He stood up with a snarl, his fangs dripping with saliva. A sly smile formed on her lips before turning away, heading for the exit.

The vampires just watched as their only savior walked out of room. It contradicted their thoughts of the reality that she could easily become their enemy if one mistake was made. Paige made a mental vow that the mission would be a total success. She refused to believe that she'd have to one day kill the only person she ever considered a friend.
