Hey guys, I know i haven't updated for a long time but I have some reasons. Turns out my dad had to leave for a year to go overseas, so I lost some motivation to write, but now I'm back. I made this chapter long to make up for not updating for such a long time. Oh and this story is going to be a bit darker than my other stories. Well i hope you like it and the more reviews I get the faster I will update. I do not own Twilight only my OCs
Lily's Dream
I was running through the empty streets of London. I knew this was a dream. I appeared as if I was six years old. I could hear fighting in the background along with wild rabid snarls. I heard my father shout into the cold ruthless night.
"Run Lily, run and don't look back!" he had said. The snarling had gotten louder after that.
My body kept running on its own. I did not want to run. I wanted to go back and try to help my father. I'm stronger than before I could help him this time.
The snarling got louder and it sounded like something was catching up to me. I turned around and saw a truly terrifying sight. A werewolf was running at me full speed. It took a swing at me but I dropped to the ground, but it got my side. I fell to the ground in pain. My right side had blood flowing freely from the wound. The werewolf stopped once it hit the ground and turned around.
Before it was able to get near me my father jumped out of nowhere and tackled it to the ground, his short sword piercing its side. The werewolf fell to the ground and did not get up. My father fell to the side and it was then I realized how serious his wounds were. His abdomen had been ripped open and his some of his organs were hanging out. He turned his head to look at me.
"Lily, everything is okay. You're safe", he said, but as he spoke blood came out of his mouth and trailed down his chin.
"D-daddy", I said barely managing to get the word out. My father slowly closed his eyes and they did not open after that. I crawled over to his body and weakly shook him.
"Daddy, please wake up, please", I begged, but his eyes did not open. I felt tears build up in my eyes. No, he couldn't leave me too. I needed him with me.
I leaned back so I was looking up at the sky. The tears fell faster off my face as I looked up at the clear sky and at the full moon. It looked at me as if it was taunting me. If it weren't for the damn moon my father would still be alive right now. I could hear voice coming towards us. I saw Erik's face over mine before I closed my eyes.
I opened my eyes groggily. I put my hand over my face to find it was damp. I moved my hand away from my face and saw small tears. I never even realized I had been crying. I looked at the calendar on my wall and saw it was the night of a full moon tonight. That explains the nightmare.
I always have the same damn dream the night before. Tonight, though the dream was going to be worse. I was going to relive the worst moments of that night and I was going to wake up screaming and Sammy, Catherine, or Erik, if they were here, were going to wake me and have to comfort me so I could go back to sleep.
I looked at my clock and saw I had woken up an hour before I normally do. I got off my bed and changed. I knew it would be pointless in trying to get back to sleep. Ricky moved his head to look at me.
"Its okay boy, just go back to sleep", I said quietly. Ricky yawned and went back to sleep. I changed into jeans and a black turtle neck along with my black UGGs. I brushed my hair and put it in a braid.
I headed downstairs and saw Thomas on the couch sleeping. I went to the kitchen and started to make a pot of coffee. I stood next to the coffee pot with my head resting on the counter. I heard footsteps and soon Thomas was leaning against the counter next to me.
"That nightmare again", he said knowingly. I nodded not wanting to speak. Thomas let out a sigh.
"You want to stay home today?" he asked.
"I can't miss my second day of school", I said.
"Yeah, but I'd rather you miss a day then have a meltdown and burn down part of the school", said Thomas.
"You're not going to let me go are you?" I asked after a moment of silence.
"Nope", said Thomas grinning. I couldn't help but to let a small smile form on my face.
"Thanks", I said quietly.
"No problem cuz", he said squeezing my shoulder. I stood up and stretched.
"Go back to bed and get some sleep", said Thomas.
"Doubt I can", I said.
"Just go, I'll get Sammy to put you under for a while", said Thomas.
I nodded knowing it would be pointless to argue with him. I headed upstairs and back to my bed. Ricky came on my bed once I was under the covers. He rolled up next to my head.
"Hey boy", I said rubbing his head. He just licked my face before closing his eyes again. I felt my eyes slowly closing. I guess I didn't need Sammy to help me get back to sleep this time.
Sammy's POV
I went downstairs after seeing Lily's eyes close. I could feel she was troubled when a gem I had in my room began to glow. I keep gems of my close friends and family that tells me when they are troubled, though I already knew Lily was going to be bothered today. She always has bad dreams as the day of the full moon draws closer.
I saw Thomas at the coffee machine. He saw me and nodded slightly. I sat at the table and folded my hands together on the table.
"Her dreams are getting worse", I said. Thomas sighed.
"I know they always get bad the day before the full moon, it'll be worse tonight", he said. I shook my head.
"No Thomas I mean they are getting worse each time, not because the full moon approaches", I said. Thomas narrowed his eyes at what I said.
"What do you mean?" he asked. I lifted my left hand and concentrated on Lily's gem in my room and it was soon levitating in my hand. The gem was pulsing a steady dark red color from it.
"The color used to be pink when it involved her dreams near the full moon, but the past few times its been getting darker", I said.
"So the darker it is the worse it is?" asked Thomas.
"Yeah, but I can't figure out how they are getting worse and I can't ask Lily about the dreams. You know asking her about that dream is like killing her. She is terrified of that dream", I said.
"I know she is. The only time you ever see her scared is near the full moon. God I just want to get my hands on him and kill him", said Thomas.
"That won't do you any good. You know he can easily kill you even if you turn into your grizzly bear form", I said.
"It's a thought", he muttered. I let out an aggravated sigh.
"Thomas, think this rationally. If Lily loses you she'll fall apart. I don't think she can handle losing another member of her family to him", I said.
"Gotcha", muttered Thomas.
"Now I need to get ready for school. Lily's going to be out for a few hours so you can relax a bit", I said getting up from the table.
I didn't wait for a response and went to my room. I straightened my hair and afterwards I look through my closet. I decided on a pair of nice black pants, a dark green sweater and my black pea coat jacket. I also grabbed a pair of black ballerina flats with a small green bow on the front.
As I was getting dressed Aqua woke up and stretched. She yawned before looking at me.
'Lily had the nightmare again correct?' asked Aqua.
You see for a spiritual witch there are a lot more things we can do than an elemental witch. Witches are put into categories based on what they can do. The two main categories are elemental and spiritual witches. Lily is considered an elemental even though she has more gifts because her elemental powers are stronger.
A spiritual witch is much stronger than an elemental witch. For one thing we can communicate with our Familiar telepathically. That way they always know if we are okay or in danger. I also have the ability to enter people's minds, though I don't do that as a respect to their privacy. Lily knows some of my gifts, but not all of them. I didn't tell her because well no spiritual witch tells anyone all of their gifts. Not even my grandmother knows all of my gifts and she's the closest person to me.
"Yeah", I said out loud. Aqua nodded her head and jumped to the floor from my bed.
'Do you want me to watch her with Ricky?' asked Aqua.
"If you don't mind", I said as I put my pants on. Once I was done getting dressed I grabbed my backpack along with my purse and headed downstairs. I sat at the table reading my mother's grimmoire and was debating on trying a few of her spells.
Spiritual witches or shamans can create new spells to use and whatever spells they create they put into their grimmoire which is basically a spell book. My mom gave me hers before she died and I know how to perform some of them. I don't have one yet because I haven't created a spell yet.
A spiritual witch only receives their grimmoire when they create a spell that is approved by the Council and that is very hard to do. My grandmother's grimmoire is pretty thick, she's also been around for over a thousand years and she's also part of the Witches Council. One would think I would get special treatment, but I don't, Grams makes sure no one treats me differently and I like that. I don't want to be treated differently just because my Grams is part of the Council.
After about an hour I heard a car pull into the driveway. I got up and saw Seth, Collin and Brady. I told Thomas I was leaving and headed outside. Once I made it to Seth's truck Collin gave me a confused look.
"Where's Lily?" he asked.
"She's not feeling too well so Thomas is making her stay home", I said. A look of concern flashed on Collin's face but it was gone in the next instant.
Okay this is confusing. Ever since I met Collin and Brady I have gotten weird readings from them. They are giving off this odd aura that I know I've felt before but I can't remember where. Collin gives it off when around Lily and Brady when I'm near him. Argh, this is so confusing.
I got into the truck and Seth drove us to school. When we got there the two girls from yesterday that got on Lily's bad side where in the parking lot. When they saw that Lily wasn't around they had sneers on their faces.
"So your sister didn't come today. Was she scared that we would get back at her for yesterday", said the redhead. I just gave her a dumb look. Was she really that stupid? If Lily wanted to she could burn the two of them.
"She's sick", I said walking past them hoping they would leave it at that.
"Sure", said the redhead in a snippy tone. I turned on the girl and glared at her. No way was I going to let her big head think that Lily was scared of her.
"Okay listen here bitch. Lily is not scared of you, you should be scared of her, now if you try to go after Lily she will get back and you will never be able to prove that she did anything. Got it?" I said.
She nodded before running along with her friend into the building. I let out a sigh while rubbing my temples. I have a feeling that she is going to give me a migraine. I let out a sigh and walked to my first class. God I hope Lily is having more fun than me.
Lily's POV
I woke up and looked at my clock and saw it was almost ten. I looked next to me and saw Ricky along with Aqua looking at me.
"Sammy asked you to watch me?' I asked even though I already knew the answer. She nodded her head.
With a sigh I moved my comforter off me and got out of bed. I walked out my room with Ricky and Aqua following me. I went downstairs and saw Thomas was asleep on the sleeper sofa. I went to the kitchen and pulled out a thing of pop tarts. I sat at the table and opened them.
As I finished them I heard a car pull into the driveway. Thomas who had been sleeping jumped from the couch wide awake. I just rolled my eyes. It was probably Erik and Catherine and I was right.
Erik and Catherine came into the house. Thomas visibly relaxed when he saw them. Catherine gave me a look when she saw me.
"You're supposed to be at school", she said.
"Thomas didn't want me to burn half the school done", I said as I shrugged my shoulders. Understanding shined in Catherine's eyes.
"Oh yeah there is a pack of shape shifters here", I said casually. Erik and Catherine were automatically on edge.
"What? I thought there were none in this area", said Erik.
"Well there are and besides I like them", I said. For some reason Collin's head popped into my head and a small smile formed on my face.
"I meet some of them but they don't know I'm one thanks to that spell Sammy's Grandmother but on us", said Thomas.
Oh yeah, Sammy's Grandmother had put a spell on the shape shifters that were related to Hunters or Witches so they could help them without being detected easily. Sammy's Grandmother also put a spell on them and all mortal witches so we would not be affected by mental powers. She also did the same for Hunters so they would not be detected on missions. She couldn't do one for physical powers because a spell of that magnitude could kill her. If an immortal witch casts a spell that cost too much of her spiritual energy and life energy than it can kill her.
Witches have too types of energy. There's spiritual energy and life energy. The spiritual energy is a witch's main source of power. Its supply can be increased due to training, but there's a limit for mortal witches. Immortal witches in a sense can have an unlimited supply of spiritual energy if they train to increase it. Life energy is used only when a witch runs out of spiritual energy. Using life energy can be extremely dangerous and is only to be used under dire circumstances. If a witch runs out of life energy then they die.
"Hey Erik I need to talk to you about something. It has to do with the shape shifters", said Thomas walking to a room in the back. Erik gave him a look before following him. I tried to hear what they were talking about but they were talking too quietly. I looked at Catherine hoping to get an idea by gauging her reaction.
Hunters have heightened senses so I knew she could hear what Thomas and Erik were talking about. The only reaction I got from her was that her eyes widened slightly, but nothing else. I knew what ever Thomas had said surprised both of them at least.
Thomas and Erik both came back in, but Thomas was now holding a duffle bag. He came over to me and gave me a kiss on the forehead.
"See you later cuz", he said.
"See you later", I said. I knew he had mainly come to keep an eye on Sammy and I until Erik and Catherine had came. Thomas left the house and soon we could hear his motorcycle taking off.
"So you've met the shape shifters", said Erik.
"Yep, some of them gave me and Sammy a ride to school", I said. Erik let out a sigh as he sat at the table. Catherine followed suit.
"You rode in a car with shape shifters that are probably nowhere near controlling their power", said Erik.
"They were fine, besides I think Sammy and I could take them", I said.
"So they are not a danger to you and Sammy?" asked Catherine.
"I don't think so. Ricky seemed to like them", I said.
"Really?" said Catherine in slight surprise. Not surprised she reacted like that. Ricky is extremely protective of me especially since I had almost died when I was six.
"Yep, so can we stay here or do we have to leave?" I asked. Erik and Catherine both exchanged looks.
"We can stay as long as nothing happens", said Erik. On the outside I kept a calm composure, but on the inside I was ecstatic. I have no idea why I was so happy we were staying, but I was.
Nothing much happened the next few hours as we waited for Sammy to come home. I had gotten excited about my car being back and quickly put it in the garage to prevent anything from happening to it. I was now currently sitting on the couch reading a random book.
A car pulled into the driveway. Erik went to the door and opened it. Sammy then tackled Erik into a hug. She then turned back.
"See you guys later, oh and we won't need a ride tomorrow", said Sammy. Erik then moved aside so Sammy could come in before closing the door.
"Hey Sammy", I said as she sat next to me on the couch.
"Hey Lily, I got what you missed today from your teachers", said Sammy dropping a small pile of paper in my lap.
"Thanks", I said sarcastically.
"No problem", said Sammy giving me an innocent smile. I just stuck my tongue out at her and she did the same thing.
"Sammy I need to talk to you. I need your opinion on the shape shifters", said Catherine walking to a room that she had claimed as her office space.
"Coming", said Sammy getting up from the couch and following Catherine. So the rest of the day was boring.
After we all ate dinner I went to take a quick shower before going to bed. I changed into a pair of black sweats and a grey thermal shirt. I took a deep breath in as I felt my eyes close. The last thing I before my eyes shut was the full moon slowly coming out from behind the clouds.
I was with my dad at a festival in London. He was here on a mission, but due to it being such an easy job he was allowed to bring me with him. I was sitting on his shoulders as I looked around.
"Daddy, can we get that?" I asked pointing to a thing of cotton candy. My dad laughed.
"Sure thing sweetheart", he said. He paid for the candy and I ate it as he walked around the street vendors. The day was fun, my dad and I spent the day playing games and eating sweets. At night we were at a hotel room, well I was. My dad had left to finish his job and then we were going to go back to Headquarters for him to give the Council his report.
I was sitting on a chair watching cartoons while eating some ice cream. When I was done I put my bowl on the counter sat closer to the TV waiting for my dad to come back. After a movie and two more shows my dad ran into the room. I knew something was wrong. He had panicked look on his face.
"Daddy?" I said slowly. His head snapped in my direction and I became scared right then and there. My dad went to his duffle bag and quickly pulled out some of the weapons he had packed. He then ran over to me and picked me up.
"Honey, I need you to stay as quiet as you can for me", he said. My dad headed to the window and opened it. He then jumped out of it. I almost screamed because we were ten stories high, but I remembered what he wanted me to do and hid my face in his shirt.
My dad hit the ground and began fast walking down the street. He pulled out his cell and hit a number before paling it next to his ear.
"Erik I need you here now. It was a trap. Lucian and his men are here. Erik I need you and your guys here now. God dammit Erik I have Lily with me!" said my dad in a hushed tone. Dad then closed the phone.
He went down a street and stopped suddenly. I looked down the street and saw three men as if they were waiting for us.
"Hello Jonathan", said the one in the middle. My dad set me down and put me behind him.
"Lucian", said my dad in a hard cold tone. The man looked at me with a weird smile on his face.
"So that's Lilith. She looks a lot like her mother Sabrina", said the man. My dad let out a low growl and pulled out his twin blades.
"Don't you dare talk about Sabrina or my daughter", snarled my dad. The man laughed.
"You need to be careful Jonathan, you're at a disadvantage tonight", said the man before looking up. My dad kept his eyes on them but I looked up. In the sky was a full moon. Moved over and grabbed my dad's pant leg.
"Daddy", I said quietly looking up at him.
"Lily, I need you to run", said my dad.
"Why-"
"Lily, run now!" snapped my dad cutting my off. I looked at the men and saw that their faces were changing. They were becoming more wolf like until one seemed to explode. What I saw terrified me. It was a wolf like creature standing on two legs and had huge claws and there was saliva dripping from its mouth. The man was a werewolf.
"Lily go", said my dad taking a step towards them.
I did what he said and ran. I ran through the streets trying to find a place for me to hide, but I got scared when I heard the sound of fighting and snarls.
"Run Lily, run and don't look back!" he had said. The snarling had gotten louder after that.
I kept running terrified as I heard the snarls get louder in volume.
The snarling got louder and it sounded like something was catching up to me. I turned around and saw a truly terrifying sight. A werewolf was running at me full speed. It took a swing at me but I dropped to the ground, but it got my side. I fell to the ground in pain. My right side had blood flowing freely from the wound. The werewolf stopped once it hit the ground and turned around.
Before it was able to get near me my father jumped out of nowhere and tackled it to the ground, his short sword piercing its side. The werewolf fell to the ground and did not get up. My father fell to the side and it was then I realized how serious his wounds were. His abdomen had been ripped open and his some of his organs were hanging out. He turned his head to look at me.
"Lily, everything is okay. You're safe", he said, but as he spoke blood came out of his mouth and trailed down his chin.
"D-daddy", I said barely managing to get the word out. My father slowly closed his eyes and they did not open after that. I crawled over to his body and weakly shook him.
"Daddy, please wake up, please", I begged, but his eyes did not open. I felt tears build up in my eyes. No, he couldn't leave me too. I needed him with me.
I leaned back so I was looking up at the sky. The tears fell faster off my face as I looked up at the clear sky and at the full moon. It looked at me as if it was taunting me. If it weren't for the damn moon my father would still be alive right now. I could hear voice coming towards us. I saw Erik's face over mine before I closed my eyes.
My eyes snapped open. I sat up and was surprised to see I was alone in my room, except Ricky was looking at me. I looked at my clock and saw it was just a little after one in the morning.
This was odd. Normally on the night of a full moon I wake up screaming and someone needs to stay with me for the rest of the night. I looked out my window and I saw the brown wolf from last night. For some reason something told me that it was Collin.
I got up from my bed and put on my black Uggs. I headed downstairs with Ricky behind me. Being careful not to make a noise I opened the back door and walked outside. I looked up and saw the full moon. I took a step off the porch and started to walk towards the woods. As I was walking in the woods Ricky kept making a whining noise.
I looked at him and saw that Ricky looked a bit uncomfortable. I guess it was because it was a full moon was causing him to act like this. I heard a noise and suddenly Ricky let out a low growl. I turned and saw the brown wolf.
I stopped walking and looked at it. The wolf was giving me a weird look as if it was wondering why I wasn't running screaming. When I looked at it I knew that it was Collin. Don't know how, but I knew it was him.
"Hey there", I said before sitting down. The ground was slightly damp but I ignored it. Ricky sat near me and I started to pet him. Collin slowly walked towards me, stopping every now and then as if waiting for me to run, but I didn't. Once he was about a foot from me he lied down and put his head on his paws.
I stopped petting Ricky and reached my hand out towards Collin. At first Collin tensed up, but relaxed slightly as my hand got closer. When my hand finally came in contact with his fur Collin relaxed completely. I was a bit surprised at how soft Collin's fur was. I kept scratching the top of Collin's head and he seemed to like it.
"You know I always hate full moons", I said as I kept scratching his head. Collin gave me this confused look.
"My dad died on the night of a full moon. It was a wolf attack", I said. It was kinda true, but no way was I going to say werewolves killed my dad. Collin let out a low whine when I said that. I just smiled and kept petting him.
"You're different though. For some reason I feel safe with you", I said. There was an odd look in Collin's eyes that I couldn't explain. A breeze blew by and I felt myself shiver. Collin then got up. I guess he was going to leave, but what he did surprised me. He walked behind me and curled up so he was forming an arch around me. It became warmer when he did that.
I slowly leaned back until I was leaning against him. Collin's head was near my lap and he was looking at me with a look of concern. I just smiled and put my hand on his head.
"You're really soft you know that", I said as I felt my eyelids get heavy. Before I knew it I had fallen asleep and not a single nightmare haunted me.
So what do you think. Please review!
