Seth looked over at the girl next to him on the bench. He still couldn't believe how much Yuki looked like his Mistresses when she was younger. She was defiantly his Mistresses future self. Outside the bells from the village still rang, it was on its sixth ring. Six more and things around here will change. Yuki will get her powers and the Ruthless Lord will awaken with power. Seth could even feel the change in the air. All he could do was sit back and wait and make sure the Yuki stayed safe.

Yuki looked around the garden. Everything around her was quiet, to quiet for her liking. Deep down she knew something was about to happen and so did everything else around her. Even the air around her felt thicker than it should be making it harder for her to breath and her dress did not help the cause. But she sat there in silence with an extremely handsome guy next to her, Seth, an old friend of Lady Yakima's.

Yuki listened as the village clock struck the seventh bell for midnight; time seemed to be going really slow for at the moment as she was filled with this weird sensation. This warm electrifying feeling began to spread from her body. It felt as if lighting was running its way through her body. It started from the left side of her body, the side Seth was on, and then made its way to the right, traveling through her veins. Then with the next chime of the bell a new feeling enveloped her replacing the lighting. This one started off very warm then went to very hot. It felt as if her veins where on fire. It took her all she could to not scream out in pain.

Then on the ninth chime of the bell the pain of the fire stopped and her body began to fill as if though she was caught in the middle of a tornado and the strong winds of it gusted throughout her, tearing her apart. She did not know why she was feeling all of this pain and why it increased at the sound of each chime or why it felt different each time. Just what was happening to her, she did not know. But she did scream out no matter how much suffering she was going through. On the tenth bell all the pain stopped for a split second. Then to her it felt as if though her body was being frozen from the inside out. She was so cold that it began to hurt like ice needles all over. Then on the eleventh ring the pain stopped and she was filled with a strong sense of warmth as everything around her came to life as spring took place of her vision, everything was light up as bright of day, even though it was night right before her and she felt Seth still sitting right next to her, Was this an illusion she was seeing? She wasn't sure. Then on the final twelfth ring everything went black.

Then small scenes began to show before her eyes. Everything was covered in a dark shadow. Then she saw the village before her in nothing but ruins, every building was either on fire, or torn to the ground. Then the mansion was shown to her. The inside of it glowed with the fire that happened to burn within it. Yuki tried to run towards it but went nowhere she was rooted in her spot. Then in the next scene she was standing inside the mansion, in the basement, a weird strange odder filled the air, suffocating her in its stench.

As she looked around she noticed weird shapes outlined in shadows. Then a bright light lit the room and around her laid dead bodies of all her closet friends. Even the strange ones lay dead besides her. As she looked down she saw she was kneeling and covered in blood and a body laid in her lap, as she turned the body over, she saw Seth's cold empty eyes stare up at her seeing nothing. At the sight of him she screamed at the top of her lungs then a horrible intense feeling of pain, worse than that when the bells rang consumed her whole being till everything went black and numb.

oOo

Time: 12:00am

"Miss Yuki! Miss Yuki!' Seth yelled as he waved his hand in front of Yuki's face. He had just was about to tell her happy birthday when she went stiff and her eyes became foggy. He wasn't sure what was happening but at the same time this happened he felt as if his powers where being drained and drawn into her. Then he figured it out. It was time for her powers to awaken and he was giving her the power to do so. So he sat there looking at her with worry in his eyes as he felt weaker and weaker at each chime of the bell as a different element was taken from him.

Then as the last chime of the clock echoed throughout the area Seth almost collapsed as all of his power was drain from him and into her. He watched, and swore he saw the power fall out of him and flow into her body, as she absorbed his powers her body began to glow and slowly arch back and float a few feet off of the bench. Using his own vampire strength he stood and placed his hands under her just in case. He waited as the glow brightened then began to fade and her body arch as a horrible shrill came out of her mouth, he then felt this strange serge of pain spread throughout his body that almost made him fall to his knees but he ignored it as her screaming stopped and as did the glow and she fall limp into his arms.

Seth took a deep breath and sat breathing heavily as he looked at the limp girl in his arms. "So she has gained her powers…" he sighed. "And the Ruthless Lord has awoken…."

oOo

Time: 12:10am

After sitting for a bout ten minutes on the bench, Seth had caught his breath and some of his strength had returned to him, the rest was coming to him slowly. Seth let out an exhausted sigh and looked up at the sky. What was once a clear night with the stars shinning bright above him was now covered in a thick dark cloud. This cloud gave Seth an eerie feeling. The air around him became thick, suffocating. One of the first signs of the Ruthless Lords awakening.

Seth then glanced down at Yuki, her chest rose and fell in a slow rhythmic pattern, her eyes dancing behind her eye lids. Seth let out a soft sigh of relief. She was ok and was just asleep; she was going to need all the sleep she could. So Seth slowly and carefully stood and walked to the back of the mansion then walked to the right side and stopped. Looking up, above him was a balcony to one of the bedrooms in the house.

Crouching as low as his legs would allow him; Seth sprung himself up into the air and landed softly and silently on the balcony. Seth looked at the doubles closed doors before him then began chanting softly in an ancient language. A few seconds later a soft latch clicked in the doors and they began to open slowly and silently before him. Seth then walked into the room and stopped a few feet in.

The room he was now standing in looked very familiar to him, yet it was different at the same time. The room was a master bedroom with what looked like had other rooms attached to it from the few doors lied along the four walls. The room had to be at least forty by fifty in length and width. A king sized bed was back against the far north wall with small night stand on each side. A few feet down from the wall was another set of double doors. On the west wall next to was a book stand, filled with hundred of books and other little things, which stretched along the whole wall and reached up to the ceiling twenty feet above his head. About teen feet down was a door way in the middle of the book stand, the stand it's self went right up to the door and over it then onto the other side. Along the east wall was a door then a fire place with a few recliners next to it. On the other side of the fire place was another door, then a wall of pictures from all ages. The south side was to the twin doors and windows looking out into the back yard. Around the room it's self where smaller things like a desk, little tables with empty flower vases, and near the center was two couches facing each other with a table in between and two chairs at the other ends of the table. The room it's self had a stale air scent to it along with dust and little mildew from non use.

Seth carried Yuki over to the bed and laid her down in it center. She mumbled something in her sleep that made Seth freeze in his spot and watch as she curled into a ball and slept peacefully. Just as Seth turned around her crouched low and a soft growl escaped between clenched teeth. Before him on the balcony stood three shadowed figures but as a gust of soft wind blew into the room, Seth realized it was just his followers and stood to his full height as they walked in.

Seth watched as three of the guys, each with a girl in their arms walked into the huge room. The one on the right he noticed was Dimitri; in his arms a young female laid asleep a faint green glow around her. In the center was Nerio; in his arms laid a small pâté girl with a faint blue glow around her. Then to the left was Kegan; the girl asleep in his arms looked younger than the rest and had a red/orange glow around her. He watched as all three laid the girls on the bed next to the sleeping Yuki.

The three guys glanced to each other then looked to the open doubled door as two more shadowed figures appeared. These two where smaller and as they stepped into the room, Seth recognized them as his other two followers. The last one did not show yet and this worried Seth a little. But he focused on the two girls before him. To the right was Luna; she had a young male in her arms with a bright but yet faint yellow like glow around him.

To the left was Crina; the boy in her arms looked older than the rest of the chosen around them, he had a faint white glow around him, so white it looked transparent.

They each laid their chosen on one of the couches. Now six sets of golden eyes glowed in the moon lit room. Only one set was missing but showed up on the balcony about three minutes later. The last one to walk into the room was also a girl, she had a lump figure thrown over her right shoulder, a faint purple glowed around it. Six set of eyes glared at Natalya as she placed her chosen comfortably on a recliner. She looked to them with pale golden eyes the just shrugged with a slight smirk. Then six set of eyes settled on Seth as he walked into the center of the room and they surrounded him.

'Did all of the chosen's powers awaken?' Seth asked through a telepathic link so he did not wake the chosen by talking aloud.

The six around him nodded. Seth was grateful to be able to see clearly at night.

'The girl who is my chosen, Marie, when her powers where awaken at the stroke of the eleventh ring of the bell, she passes out and all of my strength and powers where zapped from me. I was lucky enough to be able to get up here.'

'The same thing has happened to me. But at the last chime of the bells, all my powers where drained that even I blacked out for a few seconds but I also saw a vision and he was with me when I saw it.' Natalya said with a shrug, weariness was clear in her voice.

The same has happened to me,' Seth said as he looked to each one around me. 'At each chime of the bell she took a different elemental power from me, then all of my strength at the end. I too also saw the vision. The vision of the future, of what will happen if we do not defeat him….'

'Of the world in nothing buy ruins and death.' Natalya finished with a shiver.

'Yes. We must put a stop to him at once. After the last bell I felt the Ruthless Lord's power as he awoken and I can still feel it now. He is gaining much power and we do not have much time.' Seth said as he closed his eyes.

'We must be on full alert at all times.' Nerio said.

'But how do we doing that during the day?' Crina asked.

'I'm sure Yuki will figure that out. I know she will protect us during the day as we protect her at night. Plus the Ruthless Lord is just as vulnerable during the day as we are.' Seth then looked outside, 'Luna and Nerio, go make sure everyone down stairs have left.'

'Yes sir!' They said in union then faded away into the shadows of the room.

'Crina, Kegan, take post at the front of the house. Dimitri take the back, I'll send help later.'

The last three nodded then disappeared.

'What about me?' Natalya asked.

'You must stay here and watch the chosen. I have to go look for important things.' Seth said as he headed to the other set of double doors and disappeared behind them.

'Why do I get stuck babysitting! Natalya sighed then sat crossed legged in the center of the floor.
