Julian Wakes

Its been a hell of a few months, with discovering I have these intense powers, to talking to my future self, a crazy master vampire coming after me, my live seems to have taken a twisted road.

My name is Cassia Noir and I have been chosen to be a guardian. Most Guardians have small amounts of power, like my friend Lyria who can freeze things, or Max who is stronger than the average male. Me? Well I'm what I consider a "freak of nature," my power are still unknown, though I can break things from far away and shoot strange bolts out of my hands. I have the protection of the guardians and a council full of vampires, one in particular is continuously by my side, and his name is Peter. What is next in my chaotic life? Who knows ...

Cassia POV

Today was another hell day of training, both in my control and in weapons. Max made sure to make my body feel like it could collapse at anytime, where Peter made my mind a ball of mush. So all in all it was a day of success…for them not me.

"You, darling look like hell." Good old Jake always keeping my spirits high.

"Thanks, I've always wondered what Id look like if I ever went to hell." I gave him my best sarcastic smile and plopped on the chair across from him.

"Well, at least you're done for the day right? Want to join me in the wonderful world of netflix?" Obviously Jake has nothing better to do then watch movies, while I'm dying with training.

"Yah no thanks buddy, I'm going to shower and probably pass out for at least five days. And possible hide from Peter and Max too." Jake smiled and threw me an apple.

"Good luck with that darlin, Max will track you down and Peter can always find you. But I'm sure you'll get away with it for a couple hours at the least."

After my shower I collapsed onto my bed, outside it had been raining for the past week so my room was a nice cool temperature. I decided a nap would at least due until someone came to bother me and maybe my dream I could talk to my future self into what else was new.

Before I knew it I was dreaming, but it wasn't the future I normally came to, it was a castle like hallway. I walked down through the dark hall, pictures lined the wall all the way till I reached the staircase. The people in them wore cold expressions and seemed lost through their eyes. The staircase led down to the entryway of where ever I was and outside it was raining. I continued my way around until I ended up in a library, books filled the room for what seemed like miles. Two large chairs stood in front of a large fireplace and table. A fire was going and a glass of what looked like wine was on the table as if someone was sitting there drinking it.

"I see you found your way around here nicely Angel." I jumped at the sudden voice that came from one of the chairs. The word angel made my heart almost stop…Julian…

" Who..whe—where am I?" I didn't move, well wouldn't move.

I watched as the chair moved and a very tall man rose from it. When he turned, my heart really didn't stop. The man I was looking at was scary beautiful, not like Peter beautiful, he had the intense and scary presence that made me want to run. His ocean blue eyes were piercing and cold like the pictures in the hallway, but had a curious shine to them. His hair was pure white and flowed past his shoulders, giving an angelic look. I couldn't stop looking at him and it scared me.

"You know who I am Angel, and I don't want you to fear me. Well not yet at least." He came around the chair now and stood a little closer to me. " Your power is beautiful stronger now that I can taste it all day, it makes me want you even more. I thought your dreams would be easier to contact you through instead of when you're awake."

"Why are you doing this? I'm not going to be used to hurt people." I said shaken and trying to look angry.

" My dear if you only knew the truth about it all you would be with me. The council is full of lies and they hurt people all the time. But you are on there side right now, are you not?" They hurt people? I totally didn't really know what they council really did, but that got me worried.

"I don't understand? Did they do something to you then that made you angry?" Trying to keep him in conversation so I can find a way out seemed like the best thing to do at the moment.

"They killed my family, along with the guardians help. Thinking that we were too dangerous, too strong, in the end they couldn't destroy me. I disappeared for many years to rise in power and gain the assistance of others who felt the same. Then you appeared, your power and mind could be the ultimate key to destroying them. " Okay, Id be angry to about the family killing, but there had to be a reason, well a better one.

"Your family had to be using their power to hurt people, they wouldn't kill for just thinking you're too strong. Wouldn't they just ask you to join them? " Peter wouldn't kill someone for nothing..right?

" I had a younger sister that gained unusual power, she killed a suitor of hers on accident because of her weakness of control. The council said she was too dangerous, but I knew they feared the father of the man she killed. He is one of the five leads in the Scion, and they will do anything he says." Whoa…what? I was totally lost now.

"The Scion? What is that, I only know of the council and guardians…they've never mention the five leaders." He looked at me and smiled, this time taking more steps closer to me.

"The Scions are five of the most power vampires in the world, the council are just heads of different cities and the guardians are like their dogs. You my dear are another toy in their very large playground and they want to use you as their main weapon. Your beloved Peter probably knows everything, since he is next in like to take a seat in the Scions." My heart dropped…Peter is that strong, that deadly, and possible is using me?

"No, Peter would never use me, you're just trying to give me some sob story to feel like I should be by your side and not his!" I started to walk away but he was already there grabbing my shoulders.

"You know only what they tell you, which is nothing. Victoria would have been a member of the council and a great leader if she were still alive. My sister died too young and I will take revenge no matter how childish it seems." His eyes weren't angry, but held so much sadness in them; I almost wanted to hug him.

"I wish I could take your side but I cant, I believe in the guardians and the council. They have helped and been by my side the whole time." Julian closed his eyes and sigh, but didn't let go of his grip on me.

"You'll see there true side if you keep losing control Angel, just like what happened with my sister can happen with you. I could save you from then and from the death they will bring." His hand held my face up to look into his blue eyes. "You will see you can trust me and I'll be waiting for you when you're ready."

I didn't know what to say, he didn't seem as scary in person or actually in my dream. I kept looking at his eyes until I felt myself pull out of the dream. Julian pulled back and smiled, he turned and went back to his chair, leaving me to wake up.

"Cassia love, you need to wake up for me." Peter wash softly jerking me awake, and when I opened my eyes I noticed a weird go around the room. "Cassia, you're using your powers right now, I need you to concentrate and gain control." The glow was coming from me, and I realized there were things in my room on fire.

"Oh my god!" I rose up fast almost taking Peter with me as I fell to the floor. The fires slowly faded and smoke filled the room. Jake, Max, Lara and three other guardians were putting the little fires out. "Peter I—I didn't know I was doing that, Im sorry, I didn't know…"

"Don't worried love, I know, its okay now." He held me in a hug and kissed my cheek. "You must have been dreaming something bad, or was you future self teaching you something new?"

"No..Uh no it was-" I didn't know how to begin, what Julian told me about the council, the Scions and Peter. I was afraid that it could all be true. "It was Julian…" Peter sat there in silence, as did the guardians around us. "He—he didn't hurt me, I don't know what to say." Peter looked at the guardians and they all turned and left.

"Cassia, I need you to tell me everything he told you and what you saw." How was I to tell him everything, what if he wasn't allowed to tell me the truth, what if it was all true. I didn't know how id take it either. I told him everything, he sat there listening and showing no emotion at all. " I see, well I will need to discuss this to the council as soon as possible." He sat up and went to the door. "You don't need to worry about this love, I will take care of everything."

"Its all true isn't it?" Peter gave me a long sad look before leaving.

"Yes, I am afraid it is, but I don't have the authority to discuss this further with you." He then left me…just like that. Everything once again is changing.

"Well Peter, I can find out from Julian everything for myself then." I said to the closed door and myself. Now a new turn of events could change my future, I guess it was time to see if my future self can fill me in.
