Past Lives
I was walking towards a part of Morganville that I hadn't been to in years. What I really wished is that I had brought my water bottle, because the blazing heat was actually getting to me after an hour of walking.
I carried on into the shade. Much better. I was heading to see an old friend. Hadn't known him very long but he was old.
I looked into the sun and then hastily looked away. Walking is boring. At that moment I decided to take the easy was out. Teleport. I smiled to myself and then thought of the place I wanted to go.
Books on the floor, cobwebs in the ceiling, a lab table with weird looking concoctions and lastly a mad scientist. What I didn't anticipate was my concentration swaying into the dark of the shade and then I found myself in a very different place indeed. I wasn't in the dark lab, but I was in the dark.
I blinked away the darkness as my better eyesight kicked in. I was in a prison. Cells upon cells of dark lumps that I assumed were people until I herd the noise they were making. It was strange, like a gurgling noise a baby makes but much more sinister.
I had a feeling I had been here before but I just couldn't remember when. I looked into one of the cells making sure that I didn't get too close. The person was covered by a blanket and they were huddled in a corner.
"Hello?" I said quietly. The thing moved and looked at me with blazing red eyes. That when I knew where I was. The prison for sick vampires. I also remembered seeing it in a vision when I was younger. That why it looked familiar.
" blood? Blood" The girl gurgled. I looked around and had a comical breakdown. There was one light on and it was overlooking a fridge like a halo from god. I stopped myself from laughing out loud and went to the fridge door. I pulled it open and it was full of blood. I smiled and filled my arms with blood.
I started dispersing a bag to each caged vampire. Some grunted their thanks, other were too far gone to do that and just ripped the bags open and drank deep.
I promised myself that I would come back in a week and feed these forgotten few again. I teleported to my friends lab.
He sat reading in a chair. His glasses on his nose. I suppose this is a good day for him. He looked at me from over his glassed and growled. Well maybe not. He stood up. He looked like he had gotten taller. He smiled a sweet smile.
" Did someone send you to me, my dear?" He asked as he took his glasses off. " They shouldn't have you know. Your far too young." He smiled again but this time showed a bit of teeth in a threatening gesture.
"Myrnin, its me. Isabella" I said as I stood tall. I knew not to run away from vampires. Myrnin gave me a confused look.
" Do I know you?" He asked. He put his glassed back on even though he didn't need them. I looked at what he was wearing. A dressy shirt and quarter trousers with flip-flops. I raised an eyebrow as he wiggled his toes. Myrnin looked like he was in his twenties.
" I'm your friend." I said with a smile of my own. He laughed.
" That's ridiculous. Friends with a human. Do you even know what I am, girl?" He said in a patronising tone. A pain in the ass. I wanted to say but I held it in.
" Myrnin. Its me, Isabella. I'm back in Morganville. Have you taken any of those crystals' lately?" An idea came to me. " Do you have a syringe?" I asked suddenly. Myrnin looked confused and stopped his prowling.
"Of course I do, silly girl. This is a lab." I strode past me and opened a draw throwing thing out all over the place until he came back with a black case. " There you go" He said handing it to me. I could see in his eyes that it was all a ploy. He was just playing with his food. I open the case and took the Victorian style syringe out. I injected it into my arm and started pulling out blood. "What are you doing?" Myrnin said in amusement.
I took the needle away and the little vile was full of blood. I handed it to Myrnin. " drink it. It'll make you better."
" I'm not doing anything you tell me to." He said crossly. I rolled my eyes. Just like when we were children. I shook my head. Where the hell did that come from.
" Do it for me please." I said with big fluttering eyelashes. He raised it to his mouth and swallowed the contents. That was the same moment I was pulled into a vision. But this was different. I don't have visions of the past.
I was lying on the floor. Me actually me. I looked at my dress and smiled even though the pain was killing me. It was such a beautiful dress. Daddy got it me from London last spring and today was the day I choose to wear it. A shame I was dying in it.
I looked into the eyes of my killed and smiled. He was crying.
"What have I done? Arabella? Hold on okay." He cried. My big brother. His eyes were full of tears that would never fall and his mouth was dripping with my blood. His fangs glistened. He had bitten me and now I shall die.
" It was not your fault, dear brother. It was mine. Wrong place at the wrong time. Father told me you were ill. I didn't know" I said in a breathless whisper.
" I can change you. I can….I cant remember" He said in a broken whisper.
" It is too late I fear. But this shall not be the last time we will meet."
"What do you mean? Arabella, don't go."
" Fare well, Myrnin."
I open my eyes to see the familiar one that I had been staring at in the vision. "Myrnin?" I said not under standing how I got on the floor. Or better yet in his arms.
" I feel better now, Isabella. Thank you for that. May I ask why you fell to the floor, dear child?"
" I had a vision of the past." I said with a wry smile.
" I didn't know you had visions of the past. We must research this!" He jumped to his feet and smiled. Setting me back down on my own feet.
" Arabella?" I said in a quiet voice. Myrnin froze and turned back to me.
" What?"e said shocked. His voice was full of hope.
" That what my vision was of. Myrnin. Why didn't you tell me I looked like your sister?" I demanded. He sighed.
" I was waiting for you to remember. She told me I would see her again. She had visions of the future. Once she told me, ' I will die one day, to come back different only to die once more but stay the same yet still be different' She was very ill when she told me that. She was five." He grabbed my hands. "But you are back now and I am so sorry for killing you." He pulled me into a hug. " Forgive me"
"Ok course" I smiled. He released me and looked into my face.
" I know what you are Isabella." He said with secretive smile. How could he know. I didn't even know myself.
" What am I?" I asked urgently. He guided me to a lab table full of glasses and vials and then… he swept them all to the floor and but a small black book on the table. " Was that really necessary?" I asked stepping around the glass.
" No. Not really." He smiled crazily. He opened the book to the middle page and motioned for me to have a look.
Some are born to be vampires. Others destined. Some were just made that. But one day there shall be a destined girl. She shall live around vampires but never be one until she has found all her powers.
Each life she has she shall have a power. Until on the 21st birthday of her death all shall be pressed into one vassal. An immortal born human.
I looked at Myrnin. He was grinning like a fool. "Its about you. I've researcher it. Looking through history. A girl with telekinesis was burned at the stake in France. Her name was Isabel. Isabel Bishop. Amelie's sister. Also another girl born in Texas, during the civil war, she had the power to control minds. Carrabelle Whitlock-"
"Myrnin stop. Did you say Whitlock?" I asked surprised. He nodded and flicked to the front of the book. A sullen looking child with brown wavy hair and brown eyes looked a back at me. She was sitting on the knee of a soldier in a confederate uniform. "That's Jasper." I said in shock. He was human in the picture.
" Yes. Another brother from another life. How did you know his name?" Myrnin asked.
I couldn't tell Myrnin the real reason. Nobody can know there's two types of vampires. Its better for everyone. " History lesson. He was a mayor." Myrnin nodded and showed me another picture.
This was of a girl with blonde hair but with the same brown eyes as my own. " Belle Volturi." Myrnin shut the book as I started in shock. Volturi? OMG.
"You see all the pictures have the same girl in them. You." Myrnin shut his eyes. " Its time for you to leave now. Unless you want to give me another shot." He opened his eyes and smiled. It was crazier. Time to leave
" I'll come back soon" I said as I pictured the outside of Common ground. As the scenery change I heard Myrnin last whispered words. Or at least I think I did.
"No you wont."
Tell me what you think...in other words REVEIW!
Next chapter will be up soon =D
