When Blood May Mix – By Michelle Williams
Prologue – A Legend is Created. The moon cast a shadow along the dark streets of London. A scream so piercing that it wouldn't surprise you if it broke all the windows of the nearby buildings. There was a battle going on. A battle between your worst nightmare and an lady who looked like an angel from every little girls fantasy. The lady was at a disadvantage. She couldn't see her enemy through the darkness of the night, she had to rely on her other senses. She could smell and hear him, but she needed to be able to see him. He was strong and so was she but over the hours of the battle her strength started to disappear. She was as blind as a bat in the darkness of the night, on the other hand the creature could see every move she made. He was a creature of the night born to rule the darkness that sundown brings.
She runs down the cobble street as silently as she could hiding behind a wagon full of straw. She smells the creature holding onto the buddle that the creature had his eyes on. She hears the heavy breathing of the black beast. He is getting closer. She hides the bundle that held her dearest treasure in the hay in the wagon and charges at where she thinks the beast is, sword in hand ready to rip the sword into his body. He spots her before she can strike him and he catches the sword in between his black claws. He then twists his hand and successfully snaps the sword blade in two. He then kicks her sending her smashing into the hay wagon causing the bundle to fall out of its hiding place. The lady struggles to get over to the bundle to protect it. Once again he launches himself at her. Aiming for her arm. She doesn't see him but she feels his claws and teeth sink into the skin. She manages to conjure up enough power to send him flying back a few meters. Her arm hangs limply, in shreds by her side. The creature's eyes flash in victory. She was losing too much blood making her incredibly weak. She couldn't let this creature take her precious daughter. She had nearly died giving birth to her. She sees the creature eyeing her daughter wrapped up in the bundle. She quickly takes off her necklace and places it around her daughter's neck and kisses her forehead.
"I love you my dear Serenity, my precious daughter, I always will" she turns to face the creature, "I am Selene, queen of Atlantis and Priestess of Light. You may kill me now but you will be punished severely."
With that she throws the remaining part of her sword she still held at the giant creature and attempting to stop him attacking her. But he dodges the attack and picks her up and throws her against a nearby wall smashing nearly every bone in her body. She couldn't move, no matter how hard she tried. She had lost and the monster feels her life energy fading.
The moon finally comes out of the clouds spreading its soft, mysterious rays on the street. She could now see the creature clearly. It appeared to be some kind of giant cat. Slowly the cat started to change form. The black fur that covered its body started disappearing leaving pale skin, the hair on the back of its head started to grow turning white at the same time. Eyes that appeared to be yellow changes into a light silvery blue. The form starts to take shape of what appeared to be a human man. He stares at her and smiles.
Selene gasps when she recognizes his face "Jedite!"
"Don't worry my dear Selene your daughter will be safe, I can assure you no harm will come to her. She is quiet beautiful, yes?" he speaks with a strong French accent. He bends down and picks up the small bundle in which the beautiful baby is kept. He strokes the baby's cheek amazed at the beauty such a young baby would possess.
"Yes, she will grow up to be wanted by many a man. She holds such beauty"
The mother tries to stand up in protest.
"Don't you dare touch my..." he slaps her with a force to send her crashing back into the wall.
"Shut up! Your daughter now belongs to me!" With that he pulls out his sword from its sheath and plunges it into the ladies stomach. She screams out in pain then drops limp.
He travels down the streets, he smiles to himself. 'Mmmm, now might be a time for celebration' he thinks to himself.' He spots a drunk attempting to walk down the moonlit street. In a flash he was behind the oblivious man walking in the same pattern he starts to change form he quickly puts the baby in a crate against a run down building and then he jumps his prey. The drunk screams out as a pair of sharp massive teeth sink into his neck. He feels the blood being sucked out leaving him dry. Next the creature tears into his body making sure as to leave no trace that this killing happened. He can't have mere mortal beings knowing that immortal beings existed. He then licks the blood off his lips and teeth and one again changing into his normal form he picks up the baby girl and continues down the street.
