Chapter 7
The next day, at approximately five o'clock, Raven came over. School bag in hand, bike in the other, she said, "Hey, girl! Waz up? You ready to work on our project?"
Chi ran to the backyard, grabbed her bike, and headed out, after telling Skye. She picked up Ginger and put him in the front basket of her bike, and left with Raven. A few minutes later, at the park, they parked their bikes and sat under a large, shady, tree and worked on their project.
" And this goes here, and that goes there…" Chi ticked off the list and directed Raven towards each spot.
"Are Hannah and I the first to arrive?" Thierry asked, as he and Hannah Snow stepped into the house for Circle Daybreak.
Thierry was the world's second vampire, a made vampire, made by Maya, the first vampire. Thierry had white blond hair and dark colored eyes. He was Lord of the Night World.
Hannah, Thierry's soulmate, was human. She was an Old Soul. She had straight fair hair like silk in different shades of wheat color, spilling over her shoulders, and wide gray eyes that seemed full of light. She had a birthmark that looked like she laid a rose across her cheek for a moment and it left its imprint upon her flesh.
During the next twenty or so minutes, other members of Circle Daybreak kept arriving, and Skye was being introduced to some of them.
James was a Redfern on his mother's side. He had light brown hair and thoughtful gray eyes, and when he smiled, it was impossible to smile back.
Poppy, Jame's soulmate, was a made vampire, made by James. She was part witch on her father's side. She was small and had a kind of impish wisdom in her face. Her hair was a tangle of copper curls and she had emerald green eyes and a kind of elfin beauty.
Quinn was a made vampire, made by Hunter Redfern. He was also Hunter Redfern's heir. He was very good looking, with clean features that were strongly chiseled but almost delicate. His hair was as black as his soulmate's and he had black eyes.
Rashel, Quinn's soulmate, was human. She was a vampire hunter that just hunted bad vampires. She was tall, had black hair, and fierce and blazing green eyes.
There were more soulmates, but Skye was too tired to memorize them all. He just greeted them with a smile or a polite conversation.
The members of Circle Daybreak started talking about something in the ancient scrolls, known as the Legendary Chi Witch, a descendant of the supposedly legendary witch Hellwise, twin sister of Maya, the first vampire.
The Legendary Chi Witch was suppose to hold the power of all four Wild Powers put together, so the descendant was also the so-called "Secret Weapon of the Two Worlds".
"Chi, Chi," Skye thought, as he heard the word 'chi' over and over again.
That was when all of them heard clearly, the cry for help.
HELP! SKYE! SKYE! TWO VAMPIRES… A WITCH… A WEREWOLF… A SHAPESHIFTER! RAVEN! SHE'S ONE OF THE VAMPIRES! I'M AT THE PARK, AND SURROUNDED! GOD, OH GOD, GINGER'S DEAD… GINGER! OH GINGER… SKYE! It was Chi.
"Chi! She… she's in trouble! We've got to help her! She… she's my soulmate…" Skye shouted.
…GINGER! OH GINGER… SKYE! Chi shouted telepathically, surrounded by two vampires, a witch, a werewolf, and a shapeshifter.
Raven had just glared at her, eyes clearly full of hatred. "You! You should cease to exist! You're the reason why my life has been so miserable! Skye was mine, all mine, before you came along and ruined everything! As soon as you came, Skye had his eyes on you!
Hope your beloved cat enjoyed its last moments before my werewolf tore it apart, because we're going to do the same to you, leaving your remains for your beloved Skye to see!" Raven shrieked.
Raven nodded and the werewolf threw at Chi Ginger's small body, which had been torn to pieces.
Sobbing, Chi caught the small body holding it close to her, thinking at the same time, "Ginger, Ginger! I'm so sorry… I shouldn't have brought you out here… please forgive me… now who's going to comfort me when I need it? Who's going to purr and meow and scratch at me? Who's going to annoy me until I give him what he wants? Oh Ginger… oh Ginger… there's no one else in this world who can ever make up for you. I'm so sorry, Ginger... oh Ginger, Ginger," "GINGER!"She screamed, and Raven laughed cruelly.
"GINGER!" Chi's voice rang out and was followed by a cruel laugh. Skye, Ash, Thierry, Quinn, and Rashel followed the scream to the park. From the top of the hill, they could see Chi holding a small torn-up body (Ginger) and crying, surrounded by two vampires, a witch, a werewolf, and a shapeshifter.
"CHI!" Skye called out, and Chi stopped crying for a moment and focused on him, and he continued, "CHI! YOUR FULL NAME IS BLUE CHI SAKURA! IT'S BLUE CHI SAKURA!"
As soon as he finished, a bright blue flame surrounded Chi. It lifted her off the ground, letting the flames dissolve into her body, and then gently put her back on the ground.
"Of course. I remember now! I do belong to the Night World! My full name is Blue Chi Sakura… descendant of the legendary witch Hellwise! I am the Legendary Chi Witch! The one who's suppose to wield the power of all four Wild Powers combined and the so-called 'Secret Weapon of the Two Worlds'! You can't defeat me, even if you were a seven horned dragon, shapeshifter! Just try me!" Chi shouted.
"Are you out of your mind? You must be crazy if you think you can defeat us all! We have a five-horned dragon on our side, and back-up in case, you lunatic! You can't win against us! Ha ha ha!" Raven shouted.
"Okay! Whatever. It looks like I'll have to kill you all, except for the dragon. Dragon, your name is: Dark One of the Skies. And since I've named you, I've also tamed you!
Hey, Raven! Looks like your dragon's down!" Chi shouted.
"Dragon Prince, is that so true?" Raven shrieked.
"Yes, mistress, it is so true. This girl is the Chi Witch that I and my clan have been waiting for, since the time of the first Chi Witch, Hellwise herself.
Young mistress, my clan and I have vowed to follow you and protect you, and follow you in whatever decisions you have made. And since you have chosen the side of good, we will enforce you, strengthen your forces.
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Hellfire of the Dragons, also the Dragon Prince. I am to obey any orders you have for me without hesitation," Hellfire said, kneeling on one knee, head bent.
"Sure, you can kill these four around me and get it over with," Chi said sarcastically.
"Yes, mistress," Hellfire said. He stood up and before her eyes, he transformed into a dragon, sleek blue-green with blazing dark eyes that looked like they belonged to hell.
In one swift movement, with the slash of a claw, the werewolf and witch fell down, dead.
The vampire lunged at Chi, but a giant sphere of light got there first.
The dragon changed back to Hellfire, and said, "I'll leave you to settle business with your friend here," and seemed to disappear into the earth.
"Well, why don't you make a move?" Raven said nastily.
"Well, every move could be my last, " Chi replied as they slowly began to circle the each other.
"Wise answer, but l'm not here to hear wise answers. You know who's behind this, right?" Raven said, a bit of pity in her face.
"Yes. I believe I do, and when I see him, I'll stake him for what he's done to me and my mother." Chi replied, at the same time blocking Skye and anyone else from reading her mind.
Raven lashed out and scratched Chi on the face, and blood flowed freely. "Well, so you are his daughter. He's been waiting to claim you for eight years, and that's how you're going to treat him?" She asked in a deadly voice.
Chi replied, "I've always hated him. Ever since he married my mother! He's a piece of shit, for all I care," and she heard Skye's voice, saying, "How can you say that about your father?"
"Well, he was your father, after all. He might be here right now," Raven said carelessly.
"Right. And you're going to die before then, because you're a traitor!" Chi said in a voice filled with deadly anger. Her hand erupted with a supernova sized blue fireball, its aura stronger than all four Wild Powers put together, and she aimed it for Raven.
It came too fast for her to even scream, but in a flash, it was all over.
