"Serena?" No answer. I heard branches ruffle and turned my body in a complete three-sixty, dropping my bags. Whoever was out here was doing a very good job at hiding that they were. I couldn't pick up any unusual sent other then Serena's. I closed my eyes and focused my senses, drowning out every thought in my head.
Snap!
The faintest sound of a twig breaking filled my ears. Within five seconds I pinpointed the spot where I heard it and found my hands wrapped around another vampire.
The female vampire quickly untangled my hands from her neck and knocked me down on my back. I shot up and tackled her to the ground, trying to get my hands around her neck again. I'm not sure if you know, but, the only way to kill a monster like me is to rip the head from the body and burn the rest. She put up a good fight and kicked me off of her with her leg. I flew backwards until I smashed into a tree. I landed swiftly on my feet and dashed back to the blond bitch who didn't want to quit. She did a quick side step and dodged my fist, but not by much. I did a sharp turn and caught her leg and threw her to the ground. I locked her arms to the ground and, with the weight of my body; I kept her from getting up. With some luck, I maneuvered my hands back around her neck and an alarming look filled her eyes as I snapped her head off. Blood came spilling out all over me. She was Coven, I could tell by the way she fought, newly trained, no moves I haven't seen before. I may be a newer vampire, but it didn't take me long to become a fighter like an older one. And since I fell in love with a human and got caught up with the Coven, I pretty much know every fight move there is in the vampire world.
I dropped her blond head down on the ground as the body became black as night and turned into ash.
"Pity, I liked her." I turned my head to the voice that spoke.
"I should have known she brought friends," I stood up and dusted myself off. "What do you want AJ? Because, if it's me dead, well, you failed again." He laughed under his breath for a second, but the sly smile remained.
"I just came by to see how you liked your new living accommodations." He said widening his arms. He was completely covered in black leather. No surprise, that's all he ever wore. He probably thought it made him look cooler or something. Apparently the Council members of the Coven need to have an image. "I thought the house would be suitable for you and you're…" Just then, Serena came crashing down from the tree above him and knocked him hard to the forest floor. She landed firmly on her feet where he was standing.
"Don't insult us." She spat him. She glanced over at me and saw my blood stained clothing. "What the hell happened to you?" She asked.
"Oh nothing I couldn't handle." I replied. AJ shot up and lunged at Serena, the most bloodcurdling look on his face. Serena dodged him by jumping back up into the tree. Of course, that was nothing AJ couldn't do, and he followed her up. The tree raddled in the air and the trunk cracked slightly.
"I said I would kill you because of what you are doing to us." Serena yelled at him as she threw a blow at his face.
"Hate to break it to you sweetheart, but I'm already dead!" He shot back at her, his leg tripping her. This was getting ridiculous. As much as I didn't want to fight AJ at the moment, someone had to do something about this. I started to jump up into the tree, when suddenly it fell to the ground. Jade was now standing where the tree was, wiping her hands of dirt. Jackie was right next to her.
"What the hell is going on here?" Jackie said obstreperously. Taking a glance at me she said, "And why are you all bloody?"
"I got into a fight, but I'm fine. Don't worry." I said walking towards them. Serena managed to get up from underneath the tree and in a matter of seconds be next to us. Bruises, cuts and scrapes that covered her body quickly healing before our eyes. All of our eyes were on her. "I'm fine." She said. AJ got up and started to sprint to Serena not finished with what they started. I threw my body in front of Serena and spoke, "NO! Leave us AJ. You have caused us enough chaos today." My words seemed to have stopped him.
"I didn't come here to fight you." He said, looking at Serena. "I came here to warn you. The Council has decided that what you have done in the past is too important to overlook. One more slip up from your little group here, and we will have to take control. Zon will not be happy to know you put up a fight and killed one of the new members, either." With that said, he disappeared.
"I thought we agreed low profile!" Jackie shouted as we made our way back to the house. "So, you know, they wouldn't be hounding us!"
"Look, I was outside and one of their newly trained fighters was spying on me." I explained. "And then the next thing I knew, her head was off her body." Jackie looked convinced. "Alright, here's the deal," I began. "We have been warned to not slip up again. We need to be careful, which means tomorrow at school we talk to no one, we just go and…learn, I guess. That's what school is for, after all." I know I am the leader of this group, but I suck at motivational speeches and giving direction. I need to get better at it.
"Okay, deal. We have already said that's what we are going to do." Serena said.
"Okay, fine." I said. "Then you can go in the house first." She turned to look at me, eyes flaring with anger.
"No." She said firmly.
"Alright, that's enough from you. You are going to live in this house with us and you are going to like it." I said sternly.
"If we live here, then I walk." She said, looking at all of us.
"Serena!" Jackie shot out. Jade just looked at her, no emotion at all.
"Look, as corny as this sounds, we are no better alone. We need to be together, especially now that the Coven will stop at nothing to, you know, kill us. But, we are just like them. We can fight like them and we are just as strong as them, together."
"Fine. But can't we live somewhere else at least?" Serena asked.
"As much as I hate to say it, we need to play by the Covens rules right now. And that includes going to school here and living in this house." I said. Silence fell over us for a short while, then, Jade broke it.
