Blood Relations- chapter three- The Prophecy

Kim slowly opened her eyes to see Ron and William looking at her. She shook her head and stretched her body to loosen up.

"Are you alright KP?" Ron asked with concern.

Kim felt at ease whenever he spoke her nickname and she gave him a nod, which made him give out a sigh of relief. She stood up and picked the decrepit old book off the ground. She stared at its cover, which had no title and began to question whether the picture in there was really that of her. She opened the book and stared at the image of Katrina. She just stood there gazing into the other women's eyes and trying to find herself, but was interrupted by Ron's hand on her shoulder.

"We should be getting back home; it's already late. William, do you have things under control here?"

He nodded and replied, "Yes and all the other prisoners are safe so you two go home and say hi to Annie for me if you get the chance."

Kim and Ron agreed and were escorted to a car which would drop them off at the airport. Kim kept the book with her and still had unanswered questions: Who is this woman in the portrait? How could a dead person kill almost a hundred well armed vampire guards? What exactly is this book? All these and more swirled in her head for the rest of the car trip.

Ron remained silent, seeing that Kim was in deep thought and he too had similar questions to ponder. When they arrived and aircraft was waiting for them and it flew them home.

When they got home Yori was sitting on the couch in the living room. When she saw them she stood up to ask them how it went. When she heard the story she couldn't quite believe it and when she gazed at the book and stared at the pictures she was at a loss for words.

"I think we should visit Sensei tomorrow," said Ron as he gave a great yawn. Tomorrow was a Sunday so they had no work and decided to go ask him for guidance.

As Yori went to bed Ron and Kim checked on their sleeping daughter. She looked like an angel and they both gave her a kiss on the fore head. Then the two of them changed into their pajamas and climbed into bed. Kim turned so that she was staring at his back and leaned in close to him, draping her arm over him and embracing him.

Ron took her hand and pressed it closely to his chest before turning the other way to stare at his lover. Kim gave him puppy dog eyes which made Ron forget she was a werewolf and he slowly began to kiss her. After a quick game of tonsil hockey the two of them fell into a deep sleep in each other's arms.

The next morning they got up extra early to make a quick breakfast and fly to Japan where Sensei is waiting for them. Kim made some pancakes which were much better than the other ones she tried to make. Ron could have sworn that the last ones were moving, but he ate them happily and they still tasted fine.

After saying goodbye to Annie, who was left with Mr. and Mrs. Possible, Yori, Kim, and her husband reached the airport to board their small private jet that the Yamanauchi School owned. The trip was very smooth and the three passengers conversed for most of the trip. Kim and Yori used Ron's shoulders as pillows and took a short nap. Ron was looking over some sketch ideas for his restaurants and thinking of new food ideas that would be appealing to customers.

When they arrived an unmarked car came and picked them up. It drove for three more hours before dropping them off at the foot of the mountain. Kim, Ron, and Yori all hiked up the large face before reaching the large doors of the school. Ron and Kim had not seen what the new school looked like so they were very excited.

The gates opened and students and graduates alike all bowed to them as they walked by. The school was much larger and new buildings were added. Kim felt overwhelmed by its sheer size and Yori felt right at home. They all climbed the steps to reach the giant temple and were greeted by a smiling face.

'Sensei!" Yori yelled in excitement and ran to her teacher and father figure. He gave her a warm hug and chuckled at her enthusiasm.

"You have grown up so much since you left to be with Ron and Kim-san."

"Greetings Sensei, we're glad you could talk to us," said Ron and Kim giving him a bow.

"Ah, but more have come to speak," as he motioned for them to enter the light and reveal themselves.

"Mary! Susan!" They cried with surprise as they came and gave them hugs as well.

"Hello Ron and Kim. We felt that you were in trouble and needed help so we came too."

Everyone walked deeper into the temple and sat down on mats as Sensei poured everyone some tea.

"So," said Mary, "Why don't you explain to us why you have come all the way to Japan to seek guidance and what seems to be troubling your souls."

Kim and Ron explained what had happened at the prison from Tara to the markings to the book with the pictures in it. Sensei listened very carefully, but Mary and Susan gave each other a look of fear and shock. After they were finished Mary spoke with a much more quiet tone then she had before and Ron knew something was wrong.

"Unfortunately I know exactly of what you speak. This trails back before the great war between werewolves and vampires and in order for you to understand you must listen to my story. A few years before the war the vampires and werewolves were at peace and didn't cause any trouble. The werewolves were under one leader and that was Katrina Ulrich. She was strong, talented, and beautiful; all the werewolves respected her and followed her. The vampires were under leadership by the most famous and powerful vampire of all time Dracula."

Everyone listened to Mary's words and was shocked to hear Dracula's name; Mary continued.

"Soon the two leaders began to see each other for a hope of a permanent peace. They developed feelings for each other and began seeing more and more of each other. After being in love for over a year they decided to get married which would bind the two races together forever. Then just months before the wedding several vampire and werewolf villages were reportedly destroyed. There were no survivors and Dracula was worried that the news of his marriage had angered people, but one day as he was riding with some of his bodyguards to visit some relatives of his he heard screams and cries and soon came to a horror. The entire town was in flames and one werewolf was causing it. It tore at anything that moved and Dracula came with his sword drawn to fight it, but when he saw the beast's eyes he was filled with shock. The werewolf fled with his sister in its mouth screaming for help and he lost sight of it, but he knew where to go. He rode as fast as he could before reaching the castle of Katrina. He barged in anger and as he was searching he heard a noise in the dining room. When he got there he was horrified to find his sister on the table being eaten by his own fiancé! He looked at her with rage and disappointment and broke off the marriage. Katrina tried to ask for forgiveness for her bloodlust, but only received rejection. This enraged her and soon she went mad and called for her army declaring war on the vampires claiming that they are attempting to destroy the werewolves. Dracula was forced to retaliate with his forces and soon the war began. Even though history says that it was a draw in reality the vampire conquered and Katrina, and all he subordinates were to be hanged. Dracula never witnessed the execution, but instead committed suicide for guilt of killing the person he loved. Before the hangings began Katrina's second in command, Aria, declared that she would return and seek revenge. The werewolves were scattered and Dracula's niece, who fought in the war, took command of the clan. She was named Lisa Yorkshire and her family still rules today."

After hearing this Kim and Ron let it all kind of sink in before asking about the prophecy.

"Well, the prophecy states that Katrina will come back to take over the world. Tara is the descendent of Aria and in order for the prophecy to start a direct descendent of Aria must sacrifice herself then the message would be delivered."

"Then why did she go berserk?" asked Kim.

"She didn't do the proper procedures to do the sacrifice. She used glass and rocks, not a ceremonial knife and holy stones. The most logical explanation is that an evil spirit went into her lifeless body and went on a rampage; spreading the message as it did," explained Susan.

"So when what does this have to do with Kim?" asked Ron.

"It must be obvious; Kim is a descendent of Katrina and portrays a very good likeness. She will come from her."

"When will she appear?"

"There are three signs to her return: first her mark with appear on your body, two the dead with rise and proclaim her return, and finally you will begin to feel sick and weak. After this Katrina will come back and rule everyone for a thousand years."

"Is there anyway to stop her?" begged Ron.

There is only one; legend has it that before Dracula killed himself he said that he would come back in the same way if Katrina came back and stop her if she tried anything."

"Who will he come out of?"

"You, Ronald," stated Mary. Ron stared at her in complete disbelief.

"ME?"

"Yes you have his likeness and you are a descendent of his bloodline. Only you can call upon him to stop Katrina. Suddenly Kim collapsed and held her arms in pain screaming.

"AHHHHHH!"

Everyone rushed to her and could see red lettering all over her arms as if seared into her flesh. Upon closer inspection the markings were everywhere her back, her legs, even her face and she cried out in agony.

"Please Ron, help me!" Tears pouring down her face.

"What do I do Mary! WHAT DO I DO?" He screamed in anguish.

"There is nothing you can do it has begun soon a force that we have feared for over three centuries will return," she replied.

Ron held Kim's crying form and wept himself. The pain she suffered soon began to subside; her tears soaking Ron's shirt.

Susan was terrified at this twist of events and only one thing came to mind, "GOD HELP US." Cont…
