SF: Holy Warrior Chapter Three

At the gate stood a tan, tall, dark haired girl she carried one bag slung over her shoulder and looked uncomfortable to be there. Burnette was standing in front of her explaining the camp rules. The girl nodded her understanding, but was looking intimidated.

"Hello, my name is Holiday James and welcome to Shadow Falls." Holiday greeted

"Lexi Bishop…" the girl took Holidays hand. Holiday felt her emotions flow through her; nervous, excited, intimidated and determination. Holiday smiled at her reassuringly then led the way through the gates, as they passed places Holiday pointed them out saying it isn't that hard to find your way around but if you do find yourself lost this main path leads to; Hall, Office, cabins. She led her to a fork one way to the cabins the other to the lake. Holiday indicated they were going up the cabin pathway and stopped outside one of the last cabins.

"This is your cabin, now you share it with two other girls your age, they are inside waiting for you. Once you are ready come down to the hall lunch is in 15." Holiday said leaving Lexi on the porch of her cabin. She breathed in and out then stepped inside. Both girls were sitting on the couch in mid-sentence, both stopped and stared at her, staring at her forehead and wiggled their brows, trying to see what she was. Straight away Lexi wanted to close them out but knew that it was the polite thing to do was let them look, while they were doing it to her she did it to them, shape shifter and witch.

"Hi I am Lucy are you a chameleon?" the witch asked

Lexi nodded,

"Sam," the shape shifter said waving her hand in salute.

"Lexi." She replied, taking in both girls appearances, Lucy was tall and skinny, she had blonde hair with blue streaks. Her eyes were hazel and she had a pale complexion. Sam on the other hand was all around golden. Tall well built, tan, golden blonde hair with piercing golden eyes. While she was sizing them up they too were sizing her up.

"So where are you from?" Lexi asked trying to fill in the awkward silence

"Michigan Kinetic." Lucy replied

"Austin Texas, you?" Sam added

"Here and there, no place that I could actually call home though."

"Why is that?" Sam asked

"Orphan." Lexi replied simply, there was an awkward silence after that. "So what have I missed?"

"Not much, some boring activities, although the hikes through the bush are fun, that and looking at some of these guys that are here, damn some are H-O-T-T hot." Lucy replied

"On our first day though there was an attack here, demons attacked and this werewolf stopped them." Sam replied with admiration in her voice.

"Demons for real, you're not playing me?"

"No, serious. They attacked on our first night none of us were hurt but…"

"The werewolf?"

"She died."

"That is sad…"

"Enough doom and gloom, let's talk about something happier, the wer's are showing us how they transform tonight at the bonfire. It is all part of learning about other species and stuff, but rumour has it Ben a really hot wer is the one showing us."

So they talked for half an hour getting to know each other, when they decided to head over to the dining hall for lunch. There Lexi noticed people were in there species group, people noticed her and were staring but she ignored most of the looks.

"Did you want us to sit with you?" Lucy asked. But Lexi could tell she was doing it out of being polite as some of the other witches were calling her. A male werewolf was calling Sam so she let her new friends go, she was an orphan, moving place to place at least taught her how to ignore the stares and not be bothered about eating alone. However she didn't end up eating alone, the other chameleons welcomed her. They were curious about her but didn't push for answers. By the end of lunch she had made new friends and all was going great until the voices came. At first they were quiet then they got louder, Lexi looked around to see if anyone else was bothered, they weren't. 'Great', she thought to herself, 'I am a freak'. The voices were getting louder and she couldn't focus on those around her, she abruptly stood up and headed outside, everything else was drowned out by the voices, calling her. She didn't know where she was going she ran straight into Burnette. He seemed to be talking but she couldn't hear him, looking at his lips "Are you alright?"

"Fine" She said trying to keep the pain from her eyes, the voices weren't exactly screaming at her but they might as well have been. She tried moving around Burnette but he stood in her way.

"Try that again, are you alright?"

Crap she forgot vampires could tell when she was lying, "No, but I will be," that was part of the truth at least she hoped it was, she moved around Burnette, who was looking over her shoulder at someone inside. Ignoring him she kept moving before she knew it, she was running, she had to find answers. She was running away from the voices but stopped. Turning back towards the forest, that was where the voices were coming from. After a slight hesitation she started running towards them, she couldn't stop herself, didn't Sam say something about demons and how they weren't allowed in the woods without some form of guardian, she was pretty sure Burnette told her this as well but she didn't care she needed to know where these voices were coming from. She jumped over a bush and was heading deeper into the forest, when a hand yanked her to stop, in self-defence she flipped the person and winced when she realised it was Burnette. He stepped up and looked angry, but the voices were drowning him out still. She went to move but he blocked her path, yet again he was saying something that she just wasn't registering. She shook her head trying to concentrate that was when she felt it, that cold presence whenever he appeared, and there he was standing behind Burnette, saying nothing, just looking sad. Why did he always look sad?

"They're calling you. You need to go to them." He depressingly stated.

"Who?"

"Who, who?" Burnette asked… "Damn you're one of them"

Still ignoring Burnette she focused on the man behind him.

"You better go…" he said then faded

"Wait, go where. God what is wrong with me." She moaned then started moving again, four paces away from Burnette she crouched over in pain, hands clamped over ears. Burnette watched over her unsure of what to do, when she fell unconscious that was when he picked her up and headed back to the office where Holiday was waiting. He laid her on the sofa looking worried but Holiday was reassuring him everything would be alright, knowing now that she was a ghost whisperer she had an idea of what was going wrong. Burnette left later he took Jordan out for a stroll leaving Kylie and Holiday inside, the other campers were out on their activities, Della and Miranda were busy doing who knows what and Lucas was with some other werewolves. They sat in silence watching the sleeping girl on the sofa.
