SF: Holy Warrior Chapter Four

"You know it is rude to stare" Lexi said sitting up, the winced massaging her temples, indicating that she had a headache.

"Sorry, here" Holiday said handing her a glass of water and painkillers, which she took gratefully.

"What's wrong with me?"

"Nothing…except, you are like us."

"You're a fae…"

"If I was being technical I would say you are like Kylie a chameleon and a ghost whisperer."

"Ghost? No you must be wrong."

"Do you ever get the feeling of being cold, then you see someone that no one else sees…"

Lexi looked at them both more closely, "You know my whole life is a blur, but one thing I know is that I am a freak…"

"You aren't a freak, you are special, and your gifts are incredible."

"What gifts"

"Being able to communicate with the dead, to help them that is something special…"

"I don't want any of this… he doesn't communicate with me…exept for today but the voices were drowning everything out I just think he wanted me to follow the voices… god I sound crazy…"

"Lexi calm down, everything will be alright, we are here to help you." Holiday placed a reassuring hand on hers, warmth came from it forcing Lexi to stand.

"Please don't do that…" that was when the voices started up again but quiet so she was able to ignore them. She looked out the window to see darkness. "What time is it?"

"8.55, you were out for some time, we were starting to get worried,"

"I'm fine" Lexi retorted defensively, she started playing with the ring on her right hand.

"Hey I know this is a shock but we are here to help you…" Kylie continued speaking but Lexi wasn't paying attention a memory was surfacing well she thought it was, a person fighting, protecting a group of kids from these shadows… they were crying and the girl turned to look at one of the girls with long black hair she smiled at her and the memory changed to three people on a field practising fighting dummies made of straw on pullies. A lady in a white dress yelling out commands which they were following. They moved to stand in a line in front of a giant boulder, they each had a sword strapped across their backs and a shield leaning on their left hand side each having a different symbol, lion, bear, and eagle. Lexi looked down at her ring with an eagle on it then looked back up to see both Holiday and Kylie looking at her.

"I'm fine really…um…can I go back to my cabin now or…" it was after nine now and after a small hesitation Holiday nodded, Kylie offered to walk her back, when she looked she was about to refuse Kylie said "I'm heading back to my cabin, catch up with the girls, see you tomorrow Holiday, Burnette will be waiting for you." She then walked out with Lexi on her heels. At first they walked in silence the icy feeling they both received showed that a ghost was present

"I know what your feeling."

"You cannot possibly know what I am feeling at the moment."

"When I first arrived at Shadow Falls I had no idea about the supernatural world, I was a freak, chameleons weren't known so I was an extra freak because of that and speak to ghosts, at first I wanted nothing to do with them, but with Holiday's help I understood how to help them find peace, now I am glad I can talk to the dead as I can speak to my dad, plus ghost come in handy."

"Yeah how is that?"

"Well if you are being bullied you could always threaten to set a death angel on them. Or if you are in real trouble they come to your aid. What…" Lexi had stopped

"Death angels?"

"What about them?"

"I don't know…never mind…can we pick up the pace," Lexi said moving faster. As they came up to the fork in the path one leading off to the forest the other to the cabins, Kylie noticed Lexi's slight hesitation as she looked out over the forest. "Do you here that?"

"What?"

"Nothing…" Lexi moved up the right path towards the cabins. As she moved up onto her porch Kylie stopped her

"I am here if you want to talk, Holiday is too. You can trust us." She said then continued walking to her cabin.

Lexi entered her cabin and was greeted by Sam and Lucy

"Hey we were worried, you just left at lunch and after that you seemed to disappear." Sam stated

"Yeah I am fine, um I was with Holiday."

"Well you might want to get some rest because no offense you look as though you could use some. Plus we have to get up early" Lucy added

"Why?" Sam asked

"Because we are going on that hike with Lucas… am I the only one that pays attention when we get given our timetables"

"Hey before you go what do you know about ghosts?"

"Ghosts…why are you asking about them?" Sam replied skittishly

"Holyshit, you're one of them ghost whisperers like Kylie and Holiday

"No freakin way, I can't stand ghosts… there aren't any here are there."

"No, but…"

"No buts ghosts are just too freaky especially death angels they judge and prosecute any super naturals that have done unforgivable things."

"Never mind, I am going to bed," as Lexi closed the door she heard her roomates talking

"You didn't have to respond that way."

"Are you saying you are alright with ghost's."

"No but the way you acted you practically told her that you wanted nothing to do with her." Sam said then closed her door leaving Lucy in the lounge before she too closed her bedroom door. As Lexi was lying in bed memory of flashes kept running through her mind. Three girls in the same area as before only this time it was snowing a small hut was on the left with a fire blazing one of the girls joked about relaxing in front of the fire place use that as the defence against them. But they continued to fight, doing different manoeuvres last time Lexi was a bystander this time she was one of the girls doing the exercises , her muscles were burning with pain, fingers numb from the cold but still she continued she had sense of duty in the drills she was going through. She was exhausted by the time the lady in white called it quits together the three of them stood in front of the boulder. They were all eager for something, that was when a flicker of a movement to the left caught her attention but knowing not to focus on one spot she opened her self to her surroundings. Three wolf-dogs came out of the forest, they were no normal size either, and they were at least twice the size of a normal wolf dog. Fear was creeping inside of Lexi she wanted to scream but she couldn't instead she found herself on her knees as well as the others. A grey went to the girl on her right, the black one went to her left leaving the white one for her, their eyes were locked on each other letting each-other in. the wolf dog bowed and made its way over to her and nuzzled her. In return she stroked it behind the ears and down its neck. Ellie the name of the wolf rang around her head. The image changed to both the girl and Ellie running through the forest, in the girls hand was a bow together the barley made any sound, they were in sync and on the hunt. Then the images flashed forward, fighting, working, hanging out with the others, competing then it stopped on the three girls kneeling one at a time on the boulder swords pointed skywards lighting flickered in the sky. Lexi woke up in a haze. Lightening was flashing in the sky with thunder rumbling. The voices were back and this is what woke her up, she felt drawn somewhere. She got up and snuck out of her cabin without making a sound which she felt was strange seeming it was a creaky floor but the way she moved felt the same way as she moved through the woods in her dream silent and deadly. She made her way to Kylie's cabin, she entered again but this time she was stopped by a vampire that heard her. It was a complete miss understanding but Della heard the door open and came out to investigate Lexi only saw her from the corner of her eye a movement from the shadows, her instincts kicked in she didn't even know she could do it. She had Della on the ground and in a choke hold it was Kylie that had to pull her off of her before she realised what was going on.

"Jesus what the hell is going on?" Kylie demanded

"How do you make it stop?"

"What stop, Jesus what's the time?"

"How do you make the voices stop?"

"Voices?"

"Damn it" she covered her ears trying to block out the voices. "Never mind" she took off running out the door. A few seconds later she heard footfalls come from behind her. A breeze beside her showed her that there was a vampire running beside her, right now she wanted to be a lone and she felt threatened, so she grabbed the vampire and tossed her to her left. She heard someone swear but didn't care, the voices were getting louder and the compulsion was getting stronger. Now in the forest she moved silent as before something familiar was stirring a flash back of her running with Ellie almost made her trip. But this memory seemed to enforce new energy making her go faster, still as silent as ever. Before she knew it she was so deep in the forest if she turned around to go back she would not know where to go. A rock face appeared a head going up a couple of feet in the air a vampire could easily jump over it but she had no intention of jumping over it. A small shred of doubt erupted in her mind as she went straight into the rock-face disappearing from sight. At first she was disorientated but that feeling of safety was pulling her and she followed it blindly into the darkness.
