Lexi and Kiva were walking down the lamp-lit street when they heard someone sneeze. Lexi froze and looked around.
"It's just someone sneezing-"Kiva said who was suddenly interrupted by Lexi's hand in her face. "Seriously?" She said muffled by Lexi's second hand joining the first.
I know it was just a sneeze but from who? Kiva looked around and noticed there was no one there. She looked at Lexi who had an I told you so look on her face. Kiva saw Lexi pull her phone out of her pocket then press a button which lit it up. Seconds later the pair were shot at. Kiva screamed and covered herself but then felt nothing hit her. After several moments she turned back and saw the bullets with suspended in mid air by Lexi's glowing green eyes. She heard voices shouting on the other side of the street as around twenty men and women stepped out onto the pavement.
"Oh come on!" Lexi cried as the door to the house they had just left opened and out ran Ash, Quinn, Stephen, Marcel and Turist.
"Lexi behind you!" Turist cried. Suddenly a man jumped out from behind Lexi and stabbed her through the back with a large piece of wood that went straight through her body.
"Oh... Crap..." she whispered as she collapsed. The man then turned to Kiva with a sharp knife in his hand. He lunged for Kiva who screamed. As she screamed the concrete on the ground split as large vines exploded out of it twisting itself around the man and pulling him beneath the earth again. Kiva stood shaking as Stephen and Marcel appeared at Lexi's side. Kiva noticed she wasn't moving but she was breathing heavily.
"Lexi are you okay?" Marcel asked loudly.
"No I'm fine I just have a huge bit of wood sticking out of me that's fine."
"Well she's alive... Well... as alive as she can be considering..." Ash said quickly pulling out the wood.
"Considering...?" Lexi asked as Stephen helped her to her feet.
"You know the whole..." Ash then resorted to imitating vampire fangs with his fingers.
"Okay... Anyway who are the dudes with the guns?" Quinn asked.
"I forgot about them..." Lexi said quietly. She turned to face them then saw they were all wearing masks but one.
She was tall and had longs white hair that reached her waist. Her eyes were a light grey.
"You again?" Lexi asked stepping forwards.
"Yes me again." The woman said. "Now you're going to come with us or we'll take you by force.
"You go anywhere near her and I'll personally rip your heart out." Quinn said appearing at her side.
"We all will." Keller said. Lexi realised that the rest of the household apart from the humans had all walked out onto the street. The woman looked at them all with a cool gaze.
"I will come back for you Lexi Redfern." The woman turned to walk away but Lexi moved quickly and pulled her by her hair to the centre of the street.
"It's Boutelle. Now tell me what you want from me."
"I can't!" The woman said trying to push Lexi away.
"Oh really then why did you come?"
"They're waiting Lexi and whether you like it or not you will stand before the council and faces their voices or there will be monstrous consequences." The woman then seemed to fade to air as Lexi lost her grip on the woman.
"What the hell was that kind of voodoo?" Ash asked Lexi glared at him.
"That's it. Kiva I'm sorry but you're staying at ours tonight." Before she had time to protest she was being dragged inside at high speed.
