Sam sat up frantically and blinked excessively while sweat soaked her skin and her Dumpty-Humpty nightshirt. She breathed heavily and mulled over her dream in her head. Quickly, the girl got up and paced around her room-pondering what the dream could ve meant. The more and more she thought about it, the increasingly more frustrated she became. She glanced over at her cell phone on her bedside table and thought to herself for a second. If anyone were to be able to answer any of my questions, it would be him. Without another second of hesitation, the Goth girl flipped open the phone and dialed the number.

Danny snapped upright and clutched his pounding head and murmured curses under his breath. Zachary looked at him at first in disapproval as he got the luggage that they'd packed for Russia. Then, looking at Danny again, his eyebrows creased and he frowned.
"Danneth? Is something the matter?" Danny had blood-red tears cascading down his face and Zachary s eyes widened and he practically flew to him to wipe away the tears before any mortals could see. When they were off the plane quickly and in Russia, rather than looking for where the coven was located-Zachary found a secluded bar with barely anyone in it.
"It's a vampire bar, Danneth. We re safe here. Now, do tell me, what happened back there?" Danny began to cry again as he choked out that he made a terrible mistake. Katherine saw this and went to Danneth and hugged him around the waist.
"Shh, Zacky. Danneth had a day-mare on the plane and he is scared." She buried her face into Danny's waist. "It is okay to be afraid, Danneth. I get day-mares all the time," she looked down and tears began making her way down her pale face, "mostly about losing you and my Zacky." She muttered so quietly that not Zachary, nor Danny, could hear. Zachary pried the girl off of Danny and eventually was able to get Danny to tell him about what he'd done. Zachary s eyes widened.
"Goddamn." He cursed, which was a rarity from Zachary-as he was always genuinely calm and placid most of the time. He paced for a second and then nodded to himself, before turning to Danny again.
"Don't meddle in dreams again. Ever again, until I deem it fit for you. Danneth, this is a direct order from your master-you cannot disobey. This may cause problems, yet But we don t have time enough to worry of it. Come with me, I know where we can find the people that we re looking for."

This way, please. A young girl smiled and skipped along. Danny drew his large black jacket in closer to his skinny frame, on instinct. He couldn t feel cold anymore but that didn t stop him from wondering why Russia has to be so cold in December. Yes, it was already December- the twenty-fourth, actually. But neither Danny, nor Katherine, realized that it was Christmas tomorrow. Katherine tugged on Zachary s cuff and looked at him with pleading eyes. Zachary laughed and gestured with his head to go onward. Katherine hugged Zachary s arm and ran forward to the little girl-named Sonya-and urged her to play. Sonya smiled but shook her head.
"I must lead you do ze Ed ouse." The little girl, appearing to be about ten years old, told Katherine; who pouted. Zachary laughed softly and smiled.
"You may leave, Sonya. I am quite capable of showing Danneth the way to the head house. Stay close, Kitten - do not wander past the stone path." As it turned out, there was a vampire village in Russia; and that was where the coven leaders had their large house. The building looked like it was something out of a horror movie, with the way the black steel gates reached for the heavens with spiked tips. This was only accented by the late night-well, early morning. It was actually only a few hours before sunrise, when Katherine and Sonya would retreat indoors. Danny and Zachary stepped through the large gates and onto the gray-bricked path to the massive front doors with a pair of formidable-looking guards. They were eyed as they walked through the entrance and into the main hall.
Suddenly, Danny was tackled by a small blur of teal.
"RAAR, I got you!" Laur screamed in Danny s ear. Zach gave her a shh noise.
"Do you want to wake up the whole bloody manor? Please keep your voice down, Lauren." The girl wrinkled her nose at her full name. She murmured for Zach to call her Laur and detached herself from Danny. Looking around, Laur noticed someone was missing.
"Where's Kathy?" She asked while she looked up at Zach and Danny. Zachary told her that she was playing outside of the mansion with Sonya. Immediately, Laur practically flew outside of the doors to find her playmate. Danny looked to Zachary in confusion, while the vampire master just chuckled.
It seems that Nathaniel lied about coming to Russia. As if on cue, Winnie, Nate, and Ciera walked through the door to greet them. Nate had a big grin on his face. Zachary and Nate had a small mental connection moment as they telepathically communicated.
Why are you here?

Well, I was going to stay until we went back but I remembered about Serah. Zachary nodded as if in affirmation while Danny and Winnie hugged and chatted about the cool weather, not that it bothered them in any way. Nate then gave Zachary a serious look, to which the man nodded.
"Alrigh', Winneh, Dannet', S' bou' time teh go inteh main meetin' hall. Nathaniel waved them into a massive fire lit room with an array of vampires.

"No! Man, this is just complete bullshit! That asshole is throwing a hissy fit and now he s gone to the council with it, which is only gonna cause more damage than good! The fucking coward is just going to cause casualties of his own race just because of his own damn pride!" An American vampire, named Averill, living in Russia had said while slamming her fist down on the large table. This time, there were enough seats for Danny and Winnie to sit down at the table-making them feel more involved in the conversation, but it s not like they had much room to participate. A large man with white-blonde hair motioned for her to calm down.
"Not very much ve can do Aside from battling along with our comrades. Nate, Zach ry Sank you much for informing us of zis tragedy." The man, known as Vasili, stood at attention and bowed his head. Our armies will be assembled and ready on the day of battle. The Russian coven bowed their heads and the rest followed suit and dipped their heads low. Nate cleared his throat, alerting all of them to his presence, and that of a young woman beside him. She had slightly waved blonde hair that ended just past her shoulder blades. Long eyelashes framed blood-colored eyes that sparkled in the low light. The girl wore a red and black plaid skirt, a black blouse with the sleeves pushed up, and red and black stockings that were striped vertically. But the most enchanting thing about her appearance was the fact that she had a res scarf, wrapped firmly around her neck all the way to the bridge of her nose. It was easy to tell that his girl had an allure that was stronger than most. Matched and succeeded by Danny's allure.
"Serah," Nate referred to the girl beside him, "Ask'd how Tarok is plannin'. Little lass wants tah know if there's gonna be any... Slayers." Zachary got a bitter look on his face.
"It would be like him to do something so filthy and under-handed. Forcing us into battle against helpless creatures that are only blinded by hate and driven by revenge. My best guess would be that we have to prepare for the worst. And that, my dear, means Slayers-only to add to the casualties that Tarok has planned." Serah hung her head and let the unshed tears fall from her face. Nate pulled the girl into an embrace and pat her head while she cried. The blood had yet to fall on the battlefield and yet, the war had taken its toll.

Until next time where our little coven goes back home and waits for the Irish and Russian armies to arrive so that we may hit the climax of this little fic! See you then!
