Chapter 10

Midnight the witching hour

I dreamed about the ones with the blue fire again. But this time one of them were gone, when they started out as four. The three couldn't defeat the monster, they didn't even try, it was as if they had given up. The scene changed. Men,women and children were in chains being led by others quite not like them. I cant say they are humans but something close in appearance.

The ones with the blue fire could have prevented this but something happened to one of them. The Apocalypse could have been stopped but since it wasn't, this is the outcome. Human slaves and supernatural masters it was the only way I could describe it.

"Who did this to you?" I asked no one in-particular.

"The Lamia did this!" spoke a young girl with midnight black hair. Who are the Lamia?

The scene changed again, Ash stood in front of me with a sad look on his face . Ash is always confident why would he ever be sad, then he began to speak.

"Mare I tried to stop him but I was too weak." He pulled me close as if this would be the last time he would hold me.

"I couldn't stop him!" He screamed

"Ash whats happened please tell me!"

" I couldn't stop him." He repeated.

"Who couldn't you stop?" then I saw Ash's eyes focus on someone, he looked behind me. I turned my head to see.

"I know him! His hair, that fiery red hair!" I spoke. I began to fall it was a feeling I didn't enjoy .

A week went by until I was released from the hospital. I was told that my memories would return eventually. I couldn't recall little things like my birthday or what year it is. But there were other things I couldn't seem to grasp like what happened to my mom. But the night of the Halloween dance is completely gone from me. It's night time and the second Week in December the snow hasn't fallen yet but I'm waiting. Want to be with something that's familiar. So I walked to my field and looked at the stars. It's Midnight the witching hour and the best time I like to be out. I looked at the constellation Draco, its best seen in July but that didn't stop me from taking a look. I looked at the stars for awhile until I got this creepy feeling. The hairs on my neck stood on end. Somebody is watching me! I gathered my things, I tried to casually gather my belongings so who ever was watching me did no become aware I knew they were there.

"I told you I would be seeing you soon." Said a voice I knew. It was the voice of the guy who called me that night in the hospital. Now is one of those times I wished I didn't come out at night.

"So your the creep who called me." I didn't want to show weakness. He chuckled at my statement.

"What you don't remember me? I was there night of your accident." He said in a mocking tone.

"No I cant say I recall you." I spoke honestly. But something about him seemed to be familiar. "What do you want?" I asked.

"I want you dead. You are a major Flaw in my plan and your death with prevent the wild powers from succeeding." His hair is what I should be remembering. Then it hit me like a two-thousand ton semi. He was the man in the road who caused my accident!

"Who are you?" I asked.

"They call me Hunter Redfern." He's related to Ash. But I don't see a resemblance. I needed to get out of here, but he's blocking my path if I run into the trees I'll get lost. I reached into my pocket to grab my phone. The instant I touched it hunter is in front of me he moved at an inhuman speed. It hit me again but this time a memory came too me:

I saw something that every one else seemed to miss. Ash was moving incredibly fast and if you blinked you'd miss it. But no else seemed to see it, but I did.

No one can move that fast not if you were human. . . they weren't human they were vampires.

"Vampire!" I said astonished.

"That's right vermin. I'm a vampire and your a human who knows entirely too much about the night world." his fangs extended and he sunk them into my throat. The pain is unexplainable I didn't even have time to scream out in pain. This felt as if every piece of energy was being sucked from me. My last thought before I succumbed to darkness was about the one with the blue fire which I knew now were the wild powers. If what hunter said was true then my death would be one of the reason why they would fail to stop the apocalypse. Something happened Hunter released his hold on me and I fell to the ground

"You have a lot of nerve showing up here Ash." Hunter stated.

"I would do anything for her, even if it means killing you."

"You insult me do you think you could actually defeat me. You a eighteen year old Lamia and you think you can go against me." He laughed. Ash attacked, me eyes couldn't see the sight before me they were moving to fast.

"Poppy get Mare out of here." Ash stated. POPPY! She's not dead! Again the force hit me.

"I'm afraid my cousin is about to do something crazy. . ."

"Who? James?" I wanted to know.

"Yes I have a feeling James is about to create a vampire."

"What? who is he about to turn-" then I knew he was about to change Poppy!

I saw my friend running towards me with James on her heels. With her slight frame she lifted me.

"James how about a little help!" I heard Ash scream.

"Poppy get out of here now." James said. Without hesitation. Poppy began to run I didn't even have time to take every thing in.

"Poppy I cant move." I said.

"I know, Hunter nearly drained you dry, its alright I'm going to take you somewhere were people are going to help." We came to a car which I presumed belonged to James. She put me in the passenger seat and buckled me in. She got in a speed off.

"I'm so tired." I spoke

"Mare! You can't fall asleep stay awake for me please."

"OK I'll try . . . I thought you were dead poppy." I said

"I know Mare that was how it was suppose to be." My eyes started to close I couldn't fight the sleep.

"Mare stay awake, Dammit wake up. . ." But I couldn't.

I heard someone speaking around me but I didn't recognize the voice. It sounded older. I tried to open my eye's but they wouldn't.

"Thea I need you to bring me my Athame and some Basil. Blaise get me a green and white candle and some water to clean her up." I heard the older woman speak. I drifted in and out of consciousness. I was finally able to open my eye's. I'm laying in a bed with a white quilt.

"Your awake, how do you feel?"

"Weak." I answered. "Who are you?"

"I'm Grandma Harman Crone of the Witches."

"What happened?"

"You lost a lot of blood you almost died, but your friend brought you here just in time." Just then Poppy walked into the room. She looks so beautiful I can tell the sickness is gone from here she's a vampire now. Vampire . . . Ash!

"Where's Ash! Is he OK?" I tried to move. But Poppy pushed me back down.

"You need to calm down Mare." she paused for along second. "James came back alone I'm so sorry" The dream I had was a premonition:

"I couldn't stop him!" He screamed

"Ash whats happened please tell me!"

" I couldn't stop him." He repeated.

My whole world shattered in that one moment my soul mate is gone!

So what did you think please review!
