Chapter 4:Darkness
The lightning flashed blood red across the pale velvet sky, in the place of rain was blood,the dark blue moon cast a low amount of shadows,one child sat in the middle of all of it, the blood made it hard to tell if her hair was anyother color than red, the darkness made it hard to tell if her eyes were any color other than black, her singed skin was colored with blood,the house around her was burned to ash, bodies lay around her, slashes from the heart to the hip, their blood stainning the ash with even more blood. her dark eyes turned tword the new persance. A light haired girl stood there,blue eyes staring at the darker killer,one thing excaped her mouth before she dissappeared;
"Darkness."
Blade shot up, the neckless that she had been holding falling off the couch along with the faded blue blanket someone had put over her sometime after she had fallen asleep. She jumped as the phone rang.
"Hello."
"Blade?"
"Yeah,Kaiya,what is it?"
"Do you remember what that letter we found in mom's old chest said?"
"Yeah, it's kinda hard to forget."
"Well, just do me a favor and don't use the neckless-"
"Kaiya,I won't,ok,get some sleep it's 3:00 in the morning."
"Ok."
The was a soft click as Blade set down the phone,she let lose a yelp as she turned around and almost broke her nose.
"Pietro,what are you doing up?"
"The phone woke me."
"......O......k....."
"What's this,anyway?"
Her eyes dulled as he held up the neckless,the same one the girl had been wearing in her dream.
"Family heirloom."
She quickly lied, snatching the blue chain out of his hand.
"The orb on it looks like a cat's eye."
"Yeah,so?"
"......"
She scowled when he didn't say anything.
"It's called The Cat's Eye Stone."
"Oh.....um....about earlier today...."
"You didn't mean to send both of us down the stairs?"
"No,um...what did you mean when you said you were a type of vampire witch?"
"....."
The was a long pause and then....
"YOU EAVESDROPPED."
Everything within a 6 mile radius ran for their lives.
Mystique and Wanda came down just in time to see Blade beat Pietro with a pillow.Lance and Toad came down soon after.
"This should be a lesson to all of you, don't tick her off. She can do alot worse."
Mystique said with a sigh and went back upstairs.
"Help?"
Pietro called.Wanda just headed back to her room.Lance and Todd followed her upstairs.
Pietro sighed and pressed an ice pack to his eye,who would've known that a pillow could give you a black eye?
"Pietro,we've got news of another mutant near by.I'm assigning you and Tara to get it and bring it here."
"Who's Tara?"
"Blade,it's her middle name."
"Oh.You sure you want to send her,she might kill it.?"
"It'll be fine."
"Morning."
Pietro and Mystique looked up as Blade came into the kitchen.
"Where's this mutant?"
"Ohio."
"Isn't that where the schools going?"
Mystique nodded,looking a bit confused on how she knew.
"Rem told me."
"You'll be getting it next week-"
"You think I can follow the bus in Lance's jeep?"
"I guess so,but wasn't license taken away?"
"Yeah,I managed to get it back a few months ago."
"Where are you going?"
"Magneto's base,I wanna check up on Kaiya."
Pietro stared at Blade,1 week had passed by in a blur.
"Pietro,did Mystique say anything on what this mutant's powers are?"
"No."
He heard a light growl over the radio.
"If your know as The Child Of Darkness,what about you sister?"
"The Child Of Light."
"Where in Ohio are we going?"
"Cleveland."
"And your from?"
"Phoenix, Arizona."
Through the rest of the ride the only sound was the engine and the radio.
A scream echoed throughout the forest,the students who had just arrived looked around them,all eyes stopped on Lake Erie.
"Pietro."
"Yeah?"
"Let's go check that out."
"Fine."
The two took of in two blurs,one black and blue the other red and blue.They stopped while from where the school students were setting up the camp,two days they would be here.
"What are you doing?"
Pietro stared as Blade pulled out the sword she had been hiding in her bag.
"In case you haven't noticed,the sun's about to set,we're gonna need some protection other than our powers."
Ten minutes after the sun had set another scream filled the air.
"Come on."
The two ran of again,coming into a clearing,around a small blue haired girl was a group,and they looked ready to kill.Pietro looked over at Blade as she grasped her stomach,an arrowhead between her hands,blood covered the metal tip.Behind her was a man around their age,bow in hand.In a bright flash of light Blade was surrounded in a ball of black lightning,The Cat's Eye Stone glowing infront of the wound.In another flash of light Blade stood there,no hint of the fact that she had been shot in the stomach.But instead of her usual yellow darkbrown hair and blue black eyes she had red hair and black eyes.
"Blade?"
The girl called,fear in the red eyes that seemed mismatched with her blue hair.
"My name's Darkness."
