Thankz for the reviews everyone! You guys are awesome!
So here's to all you Legends!
Claire's POV.
Claire let out a shocked gasp as the man carrying her started to run at an alarming pace. She suddenly saw the whole world blur around her as she clung to the man for dear life. He chuckled slightly. How was this possible? How could someone run so fast? This was all just too weird. Eventually he stopped and placed her on the desert ground. She looked around but there was nothing there, just sand. The man started to walk away, reaching in his pocket and pulling out his phone. He dialled a number a placed the phone next to his ear. Claire watched as he spoke to whoever was on the other end.
"Yeah she's here. Open the door." With that he hung up, snapping his phone closed with one swift flick of the wrist. He turned to Claire, who looked at him in awe.
"What are you?" She asked. She had had enough of this craziness. There was no creature on this earth that could run that fast. It was logically impossible. It must be a trick, and she was getting to the bottom of it.
"I'm what you humans call a vampire." Said the strange man.
"You can't be. Vampires don't exist."
"Then how do you explain that man you saw earlier, the fangs? How do you explain how I managed to run so fast?"
"I….I can't. You've tricked me somehow. This is all just a trick!" Claire couldn't bare to take it. She didn't want to think that vampires could be real. It went against everything she knew to be true. She was about to protest more when suddenly the ground beneath them began to shake slightly. The man took a few steps away and motioned for her to do the same. She did as he said.
Suddenly the ground shifted and moved. Within seconds there was a staircase leading underground ,right where Claire had been standing! The man walked over to her a took her hand. He pulled her down the stairs. She struggled to get free but no matter how hard she tried he was just too strong. He gave up with the constant struggles and simply lifted her up and over his shoulder. She pounded her fists on his back in protest but he simply laughed at her feeble attempts. He soon dropped her on the floor of a room that looked like a NASA control room. Claire got a strange feeling of déjà vu.
A woman at the control panel stood and walked towards her. The woman extended her hand towards Claire.
"Hello, my name is Christine." Claire hesitantly took Christine's hand and shook it. Christine gave her a warm, kind smile. "So Andrew where did you find this one?"
"I found her out in the desert ,she was about to be attacked by one of the enemy. I couldn't let her die like that." Said the man who had brought Claire there, clearly he must be Andrew. "Claire, I believe you will be of great use to us."
"How do you know my name? What do you mean 'great use'?" Asked Claire. None of this was making sense. Andrew paused for a second then replied,
"Erm…well I know your name because…..because I'm a vampire. Vampires know these things. And you my dear are the chosen one. You will help us defeat the enemy and end the great war."
"Whoa whoa, hold up. There's no way I'm helping you in a war!"
"But you must. We may be vampires but we are peaceful. You see that vampire you met out there in the desert-"
"How many times do I have to say this? I don't believe in vampires!" Claire shouted. She was getting annoyed. There couldn't be such thing as a vampire. Not ever!
"Just let me finish. As I was saying, that vampire you met out there in the desert is a predator , he is part of a coven that will tear humanity apart if they carry on. Our coven protects humans, and we have tried to stop them for many centuries now. If we don't win the war then they will change life as we know it, the world will become a terrifying place. Where they will fed on whoever they want, when they want, and anyone who gets in their way will die." Explained Andrew
The thought of all this sent and chill of fear down Claire's spine.
"I would want to help you stop them but firstly, I don't believe in vampires and secondly, what am I supposed to do to help win a war? I'm just normal." Andrew growled in frustration, suddenly white fangs snapped into place.
"Do you believe in vampires now, or do you need more proof?" His voice was no longer the cool ,calm and collected sound it was a minute ago. He was full on vamp now. Claire didn't want to believe it. But she didn't want him to prove it anymore than he already had. She saw as his eyes turned crimson red. Christine stepped forwards and held his shoulders. He eventually calmed down and the fangs slid back into his gums. Claire was shocked to say the least, this was all too much to deal with. The vampires. The war. And now they were saying she could help save humanity.
"Look even if you are vampires. How can I help win a war?" Asked Claire.
"Because your not an ordinary human, Claire. You are special. You have been born with gifts unknown to you until this very moment. You possess brilliant powers that most people could only dream of possessing." Explained Christine.
"What powers and how come I never knew of them before."
"Your powers only awaken when you know of them, otherwise they remain dormant. It takes a while to awake to full capacity but you get there."
"But what are these powers?"
"Earth. Water. Fire. Air. You can control the elements with the use of your mind only. And you can make people feel whatever you want just by looking them in the eye, whether that be happiness, sadness, anger. Even pain. You just need to be awakened." Christine's voice was kind and calm. Claire wanted to believe her. But this was insane. She couldn't really be what Christine was talking about. It just wasn't logical. Andrew broke Claire's inter argument on whether to believe them or not,
"Come with us. If your not what we say you are then nothing will change and we will send you on your merry little way however if you are what we said then you will gain powers beyond your wildest dreams. And if you do gain these powers and decide you don't want to save all of humanity then again we will let you go. Sound like a fair deal." Andrew held out his hand. Claire hesitated but took it, what did she have to lose?
"Deal."
