A/N: Okay, so I basically fell off the edge of the earth for a couple of months there. Ahh, thats what tennis season does to you.

The Long Awaited Prophecy

(Sadie's POV)

I tapped my foot impatiently, my arms firmly crossed against my chest. "Well?" I

demanded. Sliver was looking at me apprehensively. To be quite honest, it was annoying me to no end.

"Fine." He sighed dramatically.

"Cousins born in the hidden light, covered in the Vampire's Moon, will be those who hold the key. A daughter from each branch, Light, Vida, Smoke, and Aurn will control the Goddess's Gifts. Light is the purest, holding the power of Love; she must be the first to fall. Next is Vida, driven off Revenge and powered by Hate; she will destroy herself. Smoke falls for Disbelief; her Hope is her greatest power. Aurn is the most powerful of all, driven off pure Strength; a gift from the Gods. If the Vampire's Moon disappears on the sixteenth birthday of the last born before the Cousins can be changed by passion, all vampire-kind will be destroyed."

I stared blankly at him. "Um...what?"

"Basically, you four were born on the same day; the day of the Vampire's Moon. Happens once a year, some kind of solar lunar eclipse or other. I don't really know." Silver admitted with a shrug. "Now, Light was the first to be born, and she was gifted with the power of love. She had to be, and was, the first to change. Vida was second born. She's still mad that Nikolas changed her sister, so eventually that anger is going to get her changed. Smoke, although you probably haven't realized it, has already fallen in love with a vampire."

I gaped at Silver. "...Okay.." But she hates vampires...

"Then there's you. You know you're stronger than your cousins, so don't try to deny it. You should have died tonight, Sadie. You're Strength saved you. You control the elements, if you haven't realized it yet. You are the youngest, and if all of the Cousins, yourself included, haven't been changed by the waning of the Vampire's Moon in the hour of your birth, all vampires will cease to exist."

I paused to consider what he said. "You mean...if I don't get turned by my birthday...you'll die?" Silver's face became unreadable. Tears shown in my eyes, and I lifted my hair off my neck. "Then change me now."

(Lyssia Vida's POV)

I paced around my bedroom nervously. Something was wrong, but I couldn't quite tell

what. My brows knitted together in concern and anger.

Sadie was hurt. I knew it somehow. She hurt herself when she came to save me. She shouldn't have come. I could handle Nikolas myself. I thought defiantly.

"Lyssia, don't be foolish." I turned quickly to see a disapproving look on my sister's face. "If Sadie didn't show up, Nikolas would have changed you. Or bonded you, which would have been the same as killing you."

"Well then maybe I should have let him, Sarah." I growled. My sister's eyes flashed in anger.

"Never say that." She hissed, shooting me a glare. As if she couldn't stand to be in my presence any longer, she disappeared.

Rage seemed to grow in my chest. I could feel it expanding, flowing through my veins until it filled my entire body. I smashed my hand flat against my mirror, shattering it.

As she gazed upon a shattered youth / A shattered mirror showed the shattered truth.

The poem came unbidden to my head. They were the trigger. Quickly, I armed myself

with as many knives as I could and stormed out of the house with only one intention : To kill Nikolas.

A/N: Sorry it took so long, but I hope you liked it! R&R please.
