It sent chills down my spine but I still couldn't believe how that one gaze with Jason changed so much. I felt stronger or more powerful, but how could I? I just stood there looking at mykidnapper he was extraordinarily beautiful like a god like he could hypnotize you with his looks, but nothing like Jason funny how I keep thinking about him.
"What do you want?" I said with as little fear as I could.
I stepped forward to confront him as If I were to challenge him. He just made a smile that would probably melt a hundred woman's hearts, but mine was as cold as ice toward this vampire that stands here in this dingy filthy cell. He walked toward me and was so close my skin was touching his it burnt from how cold he was, but it was also like a warm caress was touching my body making me sigh and made my eyes close as if I was in some sort of trance. His laughter made me jump back to reality
"You never should close your eyes with a vampire so close" he said.
"How did that feel?" he said.
"What do you mean? I'm just overtired" Why had I closed my eyes? And, wait was I in a trance? I would have to think about that later so I got right to the point.
"Why did my gift not work on you?" I've only been asking the same damn question for god knows how long.
"Now lets not spoil the fun shall we" he said.
"You will have you answers soon enough now get a move on with it" he said.
"See that was very ignorant of you. I'm a lady and where are we going"? I said
I could never actually keep my mouth shut in these situations I kind of had an attitude when I was scared out of my wits, but I realized while thinking in my cell that I mustn't show fear because god knows what my future will hold. I have no family and I'm locked up with vampires I knew for a fact that I will not get away. I have to figure out why my gift does not work at least with my capture I haven't been able to test it on any other of them but I have to plan everything I do and if possible escape. Maybe I can get Jason to help me.
As we made out way toward our destination we went up two stone stairs down a hall with beautiful drapes covering the windows it was some sort of castle. They must have a lot of money because this place was amazing.
Finally we made it to our destination a room with a very long wooded table for parties probably where dinner would be held. oh god do they eat regular food? Or something else I don't even want to think about. When I finally realized people starting to file in and sit they where as beautiful as my capture some more beautiful. The women were extraordinary they moved with such grace that mama would be so proud they all wore very formal wear as if this were some type of extravagant party. Hmm... I wonder what it was…wow do I feel out of place with my dirty clothes and probably nappy brown hair. I tried fixing it with my hands but I knew there was no hope.
"Welcome my friends and family" said the guy that sat at the head of the table and it felt like he had this power that surrounded him it felt like the wind was about to knock me side ways from the force of it but could that really be coming from him?
"Welcome Teivel" everybody said in Unison.
He must be the owner of the castle or the leader of the vampires well hell totally forgot about that whole big thing that I'm probably standing in a room with a bunch of VAMPIRES. well that got me going now I couldn't stop shaking the fear was over coming me but my gift was not even making a sputter of flames no tingling feeling.
Okay. I defiantly have to calm myself down.
"Teivel why have you summoned the clan?" said a gorgeously red headed women with a sharp nose and strong features but held her head high with such power it was amazing. I never seen a women so fierce and direct in my town women where to never direct a man but I always was different I liked being dominant but at the same time sweet.
"We have caught something with unbelievable power that could raise our clan to the top of Vampire society" his hand raised to me as to beckon me toward him. just great!
What a joy this should be.
Everybody turned their heads and looked me up and down and It took all the strength I had not to shutter under the fierce eyes that looked upon me. I stood tall and my head held high papa would be proud when he looked down from heaven.
"Are you serious Teivel? Have you been depriving yourself from blood? She is but a little girl" said another women.
"Why so quick to judge? She has only but just got her powers last year, she does not know how to control them as I did not when I to was new at my power" said Teivel.
Wow wait a second reality hit how did they know I had gotten my powers last year?.
Flashback
There was a knock at the door who could that have been at this time of night?
"Kara answer the door please" said mama.
I walked over to the door and answered it.
It was a man from a couple of houses away named Tom.
"Hello Tom what can I do for you"?I said curiously.
He took off his hat and put it against his heart.
"where's your mama I need to speak with her" he said.
"Okay I'll run and get her" I said suspiciously.
Why was Tom here and why talk to mama he was papa's friend and papa was not due here till later tonight.
I walked to the kitchen to get mama.
"mama Mr. Tom is here" I said.
She look very worried she wiped her hands on her apron and walked towards the door. I started to follow she turned around to me.
"Kara watch the bread in the oven papa would not want burnt bread now would he?"she said with an unsteadily.
"no" I said.
Well that sucked I'm fifteen and I can handle it.
She walked to the door and started speaking with Tom I hid behind the table and listened hard, since they were whispering.
"I'm am truly sorry but your husband has been killed ten miles away from here" Tom said his voice filled with sorrow
" wha…what?" I could hear her sorrow I could imagine her face, tears ran down mine. no not my papa. Anger passed threw me and I felt like something broke freeing me and next thing I know my body lit up in flames and it was terrifying why was I on fire!
"mama I'm on FIRE" I yelled fear over whelming me, green flames all around me.
I touched the table it erupted in flames, I heard foot steps running toward me, but all I kept looking at was my body engulfed in flames.
Mama screamed.
"my baby" she and Tom ran to the kitchen with two pals of water one for the table and one for me it didn't even lower the flame it grew bigger. that's when…I saw him rush threw the door.
"PAPA" I yelled.
Tom and mama turned mama fell to the floor unconscious.
"Tom why is she on fire get more water" he yelled.
"It only makes the flames larger" he said he was out of his wits he was seeing a deadman or so he thought.
"Papa help me!" he came as close as he could my knees where going weak.
Papa analyzed me "baby its not searing your skin it just you. I don't know why that is but calm yourself Kara"he said calmly.
I listened to him. I breathed and closed my eyes tried not to think that I was engulfed in flames. it seemed like hours when papas big arms came around me and I cried till I could no more.
"How are you alive papa?" I asked still hugging him.
"I was not killed on my way back. I got away when these huge dogs attacked us we had picked up a man a couple a miles away and they were all killed and unrecognizable I guess they counted the men and assumed it was me" he said voice shaking.
"I escaped when one of the dogs turned for a slight, and I hit him with a huge stick and I ran and hide in a hole that I found, then rushed home when I seen the smoke" he said.
Relief washed threw me but all the questions came slamming at my mind why was I on fire but not burned?
Flashback ended
"how do you know that?" I said.
He just smiled at me with great interest. He addressed the whole clan..
"We have found our future" he yelled facing me.
Everybody stood up and addressed me with some disgust, but also with admiration as they left the room.
What have I gotten into?.
