SF Holy Warrior Chapter Seven
They all stood frozen in the room, not talking or making a sound, they heard Kylie's conversation with Daniel, Kylie was kind enough to share what he had said and everyone seemed to be confused.
"What does this mean?" Holiday asked
"I don't know, he is gone. But I am guessing that she is Alex"
"Alex?" Lexi asked speaking for the first time
"Wait the werewolf I thought you said she died." Burnette asked
"She didn't die she was sent somewhere"
"I don't have a clue what you are speaking of, but right now I am tired and hungry, so can't we talk about this later?"
"I agree we should discuss this further later but before you go we have another situation to talk about." Holiday said indicating the wolf dog.
"This is Ellie and she is my companion, she won't be leaving my side. Do not worry she has been around people before and knows how to act and behave. Besides it benefits you as well, she hunts demons so it will help to have her here." Lexi replied determinately Holiday went to protest but the look in her eyes made her reconsider. She simply nods to everyone's disbelief. Burnette goes to rebut but Holiday's hand on his arm stops him. Lexi stands up and heads out the door. Kylie and Holiday share a look to which Burnette raises an eyebrow at
"Are you ready to tell me what is going on?"
"Alex did not die, she was removed and Daniel said she would return to us and it was our job to help her readjust."
"Still I thought she would remember after we mentioned it to her."
"Still she is going to teach me about demons, which is going to be useful to know."
"What did you mean that the ghosts can use her as a gateway?" Burnette asked
"She is an angel, ghosts can use her to move on…it must be an angel thing however Daniel warned me now that she is marked ghosts will know what she is and use her instead of asking for her help."
"But wouldn't that help them anyway if she can help them move on?"
"No, if they touch her, it is like using a short cut. There can be repercussions of this. We will have to help her to communicate with them."
"We can't exactly protect her from the dead can we?" Burnette asked
"Not physically, but we can mentally prepare her and teach her." Holiday replied
"We should head over to the hall now, Miranda and Perry have Jordan there." Burnette added. The three of them got up and made their way towards the hall where a commotion could be heard.
The two camp leaders went inside to see two students face to face shouting at each other.
"…I don't care what you think bloodsucker…"
"You think I care of your opinion dog? You are crazy if you think you can get away with it…tell me what you did with it?"
Burnette was next to them in a flash silencing both boys up, but did not stop them glaring at each other.
"What is going on in here?" Burnette demanded
"Nothing" replied both of them
"Friendly disagreement sir." The vampire replied
"Joel, Kurt if I hear of this sort of behaviour again, you will have something else to agree on, now get out of here, your activities start in five at the lake." Both boys slugged off heading out the door, Burnette looked at those still in the room and indicated for them to leave as well, after slight hesitations they left. Lexi was still at a table with both her roommates one of them was patting the wolf dog. Lucas came in and made his way over to Kylie and Holiday that were sitting with Miranda and Perry who were watching over Jordan. She grinned at him when she noticed him, but there was a serious look on his face. He went over to Burnette which got Holiday's attention so she made her way over to them.
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah, the word came in five minutes ago. Definitely a rogue…but…"
"What?"
"I don't know something that he said made me think of the first night here…"
"You think demons?"
"I don't know… word out on the street that something big is being planned and that it has something to do with Shadow Falls."
"How certain are you?"
"I'm not, all I know is that word spread about super-naturals getting prepared for war, Shadow Falls and something about Jasiah…"
Both Holiday and Kylie paled at the mention of his name and both males noticed it.
"What is it?" Burnette asked
"We should talk to Lexi, maybe she can shed a little light on this?"
"Do you think she will remember?"
"Remember what?" Lexi asked coming up behind them with Ellie on her heels
"Jasiah?"
Lexi looked confused and it was obvious she was having a flash back
Lexi was standing on the roof of some building sword in hand and was fighting a man in a black suit, Lexi was having difficulty as she was in a huge dress, frustrated she tore it away so she couldn't trip over it and had more flexibility. Her opponent smiled at her and she hesitated she knew that smile, then it was gone and he was attacking her again, she felt Ellie was coming to her aid but she stopped her from coming, making sure she got those demons that had escaped.
"Why are you doing this Jeramiah?" she asked
"Don't call me that!" he spat
"Why?"
"I gave that name up when I chose this path and seeming you won't join me then I will have to destroy you." He charged again, together they fought until they were chest to chest with their swords locked.
"You were like a brother" she stated sadly
"I wanted more, but no the great Alexandra handpicked by Gabriel chose Him… but in the end he got what he deserved, he was no match for me, this goes to show that I am the one that is meant for you."
"You killed him?" She stepped back offended
"Yes, he was quite surprised, when I stabbed him the back. What is funny he asked me the same thing. And I replied this it was always about you. We all know you are special…but…" pain appeared in his eyes for a split second then he dashed forward she barely missed his blade, but she lost her footing and fell off the roof. Landing smoothly on the ground in a crouch she turned to face him as he too landed on the ground, but he was too quick he flung her into the building smashing through the wall. Making his way through the new door he stood over her.
"You should have loved me…" he said
The flashback stopped and Lexi looked up at the faces around her and she felt torn, betrayal filled her heart and sadness over the loss of Daniel filled her memories, his laughter, and that smile his light blue eyes glistening as he spoke. When he was angry at those that were hurting innocence his eyes would shine.
"Jasiah…yeah I know him. Why?"
"He's planning something. Rumour has it that he is planning on coming here, would you know why?"
She paled at hearing this, if he is planning on coming here then we don't have time to waste you need to come with me… your training starts now."
"What training?"
"Let's go." Lexi said grabbing Kylie's arm but Burnette stopped here by placing a hand on her shoulder
"You still need to explain things."
"We don't have time…"
"Show him…" Ellie interrupted her thoughts
"Show him how?" Lexi asked out loud causing them to stare at her concerned
"Touch his forehead…trust me" Lexi looked at her sceptically but listened to her a touched his forehead at first he was about to move back but something stopped him. Nothing happened and Lexi was about to take her hand away but it started to glow and her eyes widened in shock then both Burnette and Lexi were very still their eyes locked on each other. Those standing around them did not know what to do. It only lasted a minute tops before Burnette blinked and Lexi stepped back, to see them looking at them questioningly.
"Time to go." Lexi said once again grabbing Kylie by the arm only to be stopped by Lucas who protectively stepped towards Kylie only to be stopped by Burnette. Kylie let Lexi led her towards the forest when she stopped and turned back to Holiday she eyed her a once over then sighed
"You coming?" she asked her and after a slight hesitation she jogged to catch up to them.
"If you are gone for more than a day I will be extremely pissed, I don't care what you showed me, my wife is not part of it." They heard Burnette call after them.
