Chapter Thirteen: the Breed in the pendant
Anissina sat on her desk, she had been going back and forth Hogwarts and school, she had passed the first concurs, playing Bach's solo violin No. 1 in G minor, and she had passed for the second stage.
The vampire had not been attacking school, now that the vampire knew that something was after it, Anissina knew that she had to keep guard.
Suddenly a few people arrived and then they stood in front of Anissina, she looked at them, and raised her eyebrow.
"What is it?" she asked.
"Please, Clair, we need your help," said a girl. "We need you to play Juliet."
"What?!" asked Anissina. "I don't want to act."
"Please, we can't find someone else," said the director. "All those girls who played Juliet had accidents."
"accidents?" asked Anissina.
"Yes, accidents," said the director. "We let the journalism club take a picture and this is what they got."
She showed Anissina a picture of the accident. A beam had nearly crashed but Anissina was not looking at the beam instead she was looking at the eyes of a person; Anissina's eyes closed slightly and then lowered the picture.
"Fine, I'll act, albeit temporarily, the moment this case is finished, then you look for another Juliet," said Anissina.
"Thank you," said the director and then they headed out of the classroom; Richard entered it carrying his flute case and then stopped to let them out first. "Oh hello Richard."
Since they had disappeared down the hall, Richard entered and then stopped at his aunt's table and then turned to her.
"What were they here for?" asked Richard.
"They got me to play Juliet," said Anissina.
"What? I thought that you don't like acting," said Richard.
Anissina picked up the picture they left and then showed it to Richard who looked at the picture and then Anissina sighed.
"Look at the eyes, it's my kind of case, albeit it's just a small one," said Anissina.
"Then I'll be going with you then," said Richard.
"Yeah, I would like that," said Anissina.
"Well then," said Richard as he headed to his chair and then sat down.

Anissina arrived at the auditorium and then found that they were setting up for the play, Richard was there as well.
"Oh, Clair here you are," said the director. "Here's the script, I rewrote the ending."
Clair took the story and then started to browse through it, she looked a bit shocked at what she had read, the lines were not changed, but the ending was preposterous
"You didn't kill of the characters?" she asked. "Romeo and Juliet dies in the end of the story, instead in this play, they kiss in the end, very much alive."
"Nice, ending isn't it?" asked the director.
"It's shameful for the name of Shakespeare," murmured Anissina, and she had indeed met him twice, once was when he was writing a midsummer nights dream and the other when he was halfway writing his sonnets. Moreover, she once had to help in his plays during the past.
"I just need to memorize the end," said Anissina. "Well, where are we going to start?"
"We are starting in Act 2, Scene 2," said the director.
Anissina nodded and then went behind the stage where the balcony was, Romeo was there ready and then the director nodded.
"Alas, these wounds bear me ill will, for these scars are a remnant of the past, wilt I not be free from this never ending war? for though surpass thy never ending feeling of hate," said Romeo.
Suddenly Anissina entered and then Romeo dunked under the balcony to listen to what Anissina had to say, Anissina was holding a rose in one hand, she looked at the flower then clutched it to her chest with both hands.
"But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon, Who is already sick and pale with grief, That thou her maid art far more fair than she: Be not her maid, since she is envious; Her vestal livery is but sick and green And none but fools do wear it; cast it off. It is my lady, O, it is my love! O that she knew she were! She speaks yet she says nothing: what of that? Her eye discourses; I will answer it. I am too bold, 'tis not to me she speaks: Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven, Having some business, do entreat her eyes To twinkle in their spheres until they return. What if her eyes were there, they in her head? The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars, As daylight doth a lamp; her eyes in heaven Would through the airy region stream so bright That birds would sing and think it were not night. See, how she leans her cheek upon her hand! O, that I were a glove upon that hand, That I might touch that cheek!" said Romeo but softly.
"Ay me!" said Anissina.
"She speaks, "said Romeo. "O, speak again, bright angel! for thou art As glorious to this night, being o'er my head As is a winged messenger of heaven Unto the white-upturned wondering eyes Of mortals that fall back to gaze on him, When he bestrides the lazy-pacing clouds and sails upon the bosom of the air."
Anissina inwardly sighed, here she goes with the all-famous line, and she suddenly raised the flower to her nose, gracefully closed her eyes, and then smiled.
"O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy name; Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, And I'll no longer be a Capulet," said Anissina with such love and passion that the whole people were shocked.
"Shall I hear more, or shall I speak at this?" asked Romeo.
"'Tis but thy name that is my enemy; Thou art thyself, though not a Montague. What is a Montague? it is nor hand, nor foot, Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part belonging to a man. O, be some other name! What's in a name? that which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet; So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd, Retain that dear perfection which he owes without that title. Romeo, doff thy name, and for that name which is no part of thee take all myself," said Anissina.
"Had she ever acted before?" asked the director.
"No, she hates acting," said Richard.
The director looked at Anissina acting like a pro, lines said perfectly, no need for direction, just perfect on stage. When it came at a scene that would make them kiss, suddenly Anissina pushed Romeo away and then jumped back as a stage light crashed where they have been.
Anissina went closer and then dropped to one knee and then took the cable and then looked at it, she was right; it was chewed on, a moment later the director approached.
As the director bent, something fell out of her shirt and then it caught Anissina's eye and she looked at it and then froze.
"I can see, that you're also a danger, to my cast," said the director. "We don't need you."
Anissina didn't say anything just looked at the thing, Richard went to the stage and then bent to see if she was okay but she waived him off.
"Fine, if you want it that way," said Anissina.
"No," said Romeo. "She's very good, we would like to keep her for the play."
"Actually, our condition was that I find out the cause of the accidents, if I find it then I can leave, and I did find out the root," said Anissina. "So now that's done, getting to the bottom of the case is necessary, and I needing preparations have to leave… Richard lets go."
Richard looked a bit confused, how did Anissina ever fond out the cause? All she did was act, she didn't have time to search for clues, Anissina up her bag and then turned to Richard who went down and then picked his bag as well, and then they headed out of the auditorium.

Once Anissina and Richard was in Anissina's office, she went to the kitchen to make a mug of tea and then placed it front of Richard and then she sat down.
"So what are you going to do?" he asked. "How did you find out the cause of the problem with just acting?"
"Simple, the cause just presented itself to me," said Anissina as she sat down and then drank her tea.
"Huh?" said Richard. "I didn't see any breed."
"Of course, this is a rather complex breed," said Anissina. "A breed that feeds on the soul of a person rather than possessing the person, it eats souls."
Richard spluttered on his cup and then coughed, Anissina reached forward and then pulled out some tissues from the box on her desk and then passed them to Richard who took them wiping his own mouth.
"How did you know that?" asked Richard.
"I have dealt with cases such as these," said Anissina. "These cases are rare, because these breeds have intelligence."
Richard just looked at her and then looked into his cup, and then asked his aunt.
"Aunt, do tell me," said Richard. "What is this type of breed?"
"These type of breeds, instead of forcibly entering them, they make a promise of granting their most ardent desires," said Anissina. "But with every wish there should be equal compensation."
"And what is this equal compensation for this ardent wish?" asked Richard.
"Can you think of anything?" asked Anissina. "what is the most important thing to all humans?"
Richard was silent, something that is most important to all humans, there was money, and gems and more.
"Well, there's money, gems and more," said Richard.
"The breed won't be interested on material things, think harder," said Anissina sipping her tea.
Richard sighed, and then sipped his tea, the silence lasted for a long time, and then Anissina decided to break it.
"The soul Richard, the breed wants your soul, the very ration being, with out your soul you don't have free will," said Anissina. "The soul doesn't leave your body until thirty minutes after you have "Died", Antoine's blood entered me after he drained me thus sealing my soul in my body."
Richard was glued to his seat, he didn't expect that heavy a price.
"That heavy?" asked Richard.
"Yes, that heavy," said Anissina.
Standing up from her chair she took her trench coat and then placed it on, she was going around following her, putting on shades, she opened the door and then turned to her nephew.
"I trust that you would wait here until your driver picks you up," said Anissina.
"Fine," said Richard. "I rarely get all the cases these days."
Anissina stopped and then turned around and then traced back and then bent and then lifted her nephew's chin.
"It's not all cases that you should concentrate on" said Anissina. "I would rather you take this opportunity to be who you are, not who you are supposed to be, that will come later, just enjoy making as many memories as you can when you are still free, that is your current priority."
Richard looked at his aunt and then nodded at her, Anissina smiled and then exited the house, she stayed in a wall near the school and once the Director left the school and passed her, she turned to look at her.
"hey, director," said Anissina and then the director stopped and then looked at her.
Anissina straightened from leaning on the wall and then walked toward the director removing her shades.
"Oh, its you Clair," said the director. "I have nothing to speak to you about."
"That's all well and good," said Anissina. "But I am the one who is going to tell you something."
The Director stared and then Anissina stepped a bit closer.
"That thing around your neck," said Anissina. "If you stop wearing it then the disaster in your stage will stop as well… not to mention if you continue wearing that you might die, it's taking your life force from you."
"What are you talking about," asked the Director. "This is just a pendant I found it in the grass."
"And have you ever wondered why it was on the grass?" asked Anissina.
The director said nothing and then Anissina once again wore her shades, Anissina placed on her shades and then waved goodbye, tomorrow she will see if the director heeded her warning.

When Anissina arrived at Hogwarts at about 10:30 in the evening, Severus took his Niece to the side.
"There's been trouble," said Severus.
"What happened?" asked Anissina.
"Potter and his friends had illegally opened a defense club behind Umbridge's back," said Severus.
"Go on," said Anissina.
"There seemed to be a defector," said Severus. "So that defector told them of the club's activities and now they are now capturing the club."
Anissina didn't say anything and then they headed to the 7th floor and then they stopped when they saw Umbridge there.
"So this is Dumbledore's army," Dolores sneered at them. "Such a pathetic set of students... what have you got to say about yourself Albus?"
"Well, there you have it," said Albus. "My Personal army, I asked Mr. Potter to train students who believed that Voldemort is alive to fight."
"But you do know that the ministry says that Voldemort is dead," said Dolores. "For going against the ministry, you are under arrest."
Albus shook his head, then Fawkes swooped down, and then Albus grabbed the tail and then with a burst of fire disappeared.
"As for you," said Dolores turning to Anissina and then pointing a finger at her. "I would like you to not come back, there shouldn't really be any muggle who cant do magic inside this school."
Anissina looked into the fat frog's face, her face set and serious, she blinked and then gave a half smile.
"As you wish," said Anissina. "I will not step foot inside this school, unless the need arises."
With that, she turned around and then left the room, Harry looked at Anissina as she left and then went after her.
"Clair, will you be okay?" asked Harry.
Anissina turned to Harry and then gave a smile.
"Of course," said Anissina. "It's not every case in the world will be a smooth one."
Harry looked at the ground, because of this Anissina wasn't allowed to come back, he was in fact enjoying her stay here as well.
"Honestly, this is the only time I hate this school," said Harry. "That Umbitch is a dictator."
Anissina didn't say anything but then stopped and then turned to Harry.
"Harry, you must protect yourself," said Anissina. "Don't let other people push you around… you need to follow what your heart says, even if others tell otherwise… when the time comes, I will come back to this school and take care of this case."
With that, she kissed Harry on the forehead and then continued walking and then a moment later she left the school.

The next day after school, Anissina and Richard were hiding in the wall when she glanced at the gate as the director got out, then walked to the a grassy place by the riverside that was close to an apartment complex. The director took out her pendant and then something got out of it.
"What is it you want, my dearest Julie?" he asked, he looked like a typical angel only he was bare-chested and had only a wrap around over his privates.
"I heard from this girl that you are dangerous," said Julie. "Is this even true?"
"You have nothing to fear, she only wants to break us apart, she wants my wish-granting abilities," said the breed. "There is nothing to fear, just trust me."
With that the breed went to kiss Julie and then Anissina walked forward biting her finger and then forming a dagger and then she wretched Julie away and then stabbed the breed, the breed went back and then looked at her
"Clair?" asked Julie in shock. "What did you do, you stabbed an angel."
"That is no angel," said Anissina. "Take a good look."
The breed's wound healed but through the healing, he used his energy and then he turned into a monstrous slug, Julie screamed and then fell to the ground.
"Well, there you see," said Anissina. "That is a breed, it's been eating your soul, now get out of here, I will take care of this one."
Julie nodded and then Ran away, Anissina bit her finger and then used her blood to form a scythe.
"Well, breed, you are just like me, a dark creature with rationality," said Anissina. "Too bad, that girl will be your last meal."
"What? A breed that's good?" asked the breed. "I have never ever heard of such a thing."
"And it will be your last," said Anissina.
She swung that scythe around and then charged the breed flattened himself and then spat some of its slime and then Anissina stepped on the slime and then her face showed surprise because with the help of the slime she slid as if she was skating forward until she hit the tree. Richard who was watching covered his face as he was laughing.
"I got to be careful of slime and trees next time," said Anissina as she pulled a piece of wood from her side.
"So you're a vampire," said the breed. "Only a vampire would be afraid of wood."
"Of course when it hits the heart," said Anissina.
"Well, I'll make sure that I'll stab your heart," said the breed turning into a person holding a sword, Anissina swung her scythe into a sword as well and then they both held it at ready.
The breed and Anissina exchanged blows and blocks, both had good forms when fighting with the sword; thrust, parry and block.
"You're quite good for a breed," said Anissina.
"Well, you're good yourself," said the breed.
"The person who taught me was my uncle, who used to be a musketeer," said Anissina referring to Severus, when they were living in Marseilles the year she was turned, Severus taught her how to defend herself because she was still a fledging then.
"Wait, your uncle? Isn't the one who is supposed to raise you're your sire?" asked the breed.
"That "Sire" is not my sire, I was turned to be his wife," said Anissina.
"By the term wife, you mean his mate," said the breed. "So why are you not with him?"
"I will never marry that vampire," said Anissina. "I prefer my freedom to marry anyone I love."
"When did women vampires become so… liberated," said the breed.
"Since this is the modern times," said Anissina. "Not many people now believe in vampires and we are happy to leave them alone for a change, or use them as food.. by the way why are we even talking."
"Because you brought up the subject," said the breed.
"Well, then," said Anissina as she slashed across and then it hit the arm of the breed.
"Taking first blood, as expected from a vampire," said the breed.
"I don't want to hear that coming from you," said Anissina as she turned her sword into a whip and then cracked it and then it went around the sword, Anissina pulled it and then it flew out of the breed's grasp and then she turned.
The breed knew when it was time to run and so he did, picking up that pendant he ran, Anissina pointed at Richard who threw his bag, the breed stepped on it and then he fell forward the pendant flew from his grasp and then Anissina rushed to get the pendant and they both rushed to get it. Anissina only grabbed the important "part, then the chain broke, and then Anissina held in her hand the pendant.
"Don't you dare break that," said the breed. "That's the source of my power."
Anissina raised her eyes and then looked at it and then at the breed.
"I won't break it," said Anissina. "But only if you make a promise not to kill."
"Fine I won't," said the breed and then extended his hand. "Now may I have it?"
Anissina didn't say anything just shrugged and then handed the pendant over and then the breed smirked and then tightened his hand over it.
"You should have known better than to trust me," said the breed and then flew away.
Anissina calmly watched him fly away and then walked to where Richard was hiding and then she picked up her bag.
"What are you doing, you let it fly away," said Richard.
"I know where that breed is going," said Anissina. "We can stop it when the time comes, there's no need to fear."

Anissina was standing on the f a house that belonged to one of the neighbors of Julie and then watched just stood there doing nothing.
Suddenly the light in Julie's room lit up and Anissina turned to look at Julia as she watched.
She looked to see the breed slithering up and then Anissina just stood there and watched, she wanted to see if the breed would keep his word or not but she was sure he wouldn't.
Watching and waiting he watched as the breed entered through the little opening in the window and then Julie turned around. Anissina watched them talk and then they saw Julie shrink, and then the breed lunged at the girl and then start taking her soul.
Anissina raised the bow she brought with her and then fired an arrow and then it crashed through the window and then pierced the shoulder and then pinned the breed, Anissina flew to the window and then jumped in with the bow and around her.
"I warned you," said Anissina. "I did promise you that I won't kill you if you don't kill others."
"Shut up hypocrite," said the breed.
The breed swung but Anissina was faster she reached to her side and then brought out a dagger and then pierced the hand and then trapped the blade in the wall like the way you pin the frog.
"Raise your other hand up I will cut it off," said Anissina.
She then started looking for the pendant, then removed it and she looked at it, and then placed it on the floor.
"No don't," said the breed and then lunged at her, Anissina stepped on the pendant, then Anissina stepped on it, and then the breed's powers were broken.
Nevertheless, he was still alive only he was a monster, he lunged for Julie and then Anissina bit her finger, then used her blood to turn it into a sword, then raised it, and then slashed it downward, the breed froze and then it was cut in half.
Julie was frozen only staring at the breed, luckily for Anissina Julie didn't see that she used her blood to form that sword, Anissina watched the breed liquefy into a sickly purple blob and then Anissina dropped her blood into it and then it fizzled and then disappeared, Anissina sat on the ground and then she was breathing heavily.
"I hate these kinds of breeds," said Anissina and then she stood up and then pulled the dagger from the wall and then turned to Julie.
"Please send the bill to my address," said Anissina leaving her calling card, then jumped off, and then disappeared into the night.
When she arrived, she saw that the Von Bielefeld driver was there, she then remembered that she was to have dinner with them and then she entered the house to get ready for her dinner with her family.
