Weow! Sorry for the late uploads :( I've been super busy! Here is an interesting chapter :O Read it and weep my lovely's...
Chapter Nine
Even when I was still in my dorm room, I could hear screams of fear. I looked outside my window, and saw a whole army of Strigoi headed for us. It were times like these that I was thankful my dorm was on the fifth floor a.k.a. the top floor. Gathering anything black that I owned, I slid out of my window, and onto the roof. Pulling on full length black leggings, black turtle neck and black combat boots, I heard screams of agony. I would know those screams anywhere; my mother. On high alert, I put my hair in a bun and pulled over a ski mask to cover my face. I could still see perfectly clear.
Jumping down from the roof, floor by floor, I could see the damage being caused; trees were on fire, dead bodies scattered around me and blood…lots and lots of blood. Running towards the nearest Strigoi, I set him alight and ran for it. I could still hear the screams of my mother, so I ran for her. Finally, getting to my destination, I took in what I could. Guardians were fighting Strigoi, but were obviously losing. My mother was trying desperately hard to kill five Strigoi, but because she was out numbered, she was getting tired and was about to faint. Pulling my fingers to my mouth, I whistled loud enough for someone to go deaf. Everyone turned my way.
"Well, this is a surprise. We didn't know the slayer was here" one hissed. He had black hair, and crimson eyes. He looked around 6'1" with a lanky build; a definite human before being changed. Just when the closet Strigoi to me stepped forward, I lashed out my fire ability, and fried him. I've always felt bad when I kill a Strigoi. I know there's a way to re-store them, but I just need to look more into it.
"You bitch!" one yelled, most likely the leader, running full speed toward me. I burned him before he was five metres away from me. I was done taking it easy; we needed to fight! Taking a step closer, I set the first Strigoi in my sight on fire; making it easier for the Guardians to kill them. This went on for an hour at most. The same thing went through my head; kick, punch, duck, swipe, kill. In the end, we killed around five hundred Strigoi, but they had killed fifty of us; fifty too many.
"Where's my daughter?" I heard the famous Rose Hathaway yell. Crap! I better get somewhere she'd never expect me. Running anywhere in my sight, I finally came across the church. Making my way to on the benches, I took off my clothes and hid them behind a statue of Jesus. Or it could have been God…well, someone religious. I was only left in my underwear and bra. I had to think of a cover story, and quick! Maybe, hearing the screams of people brought back old memories and I just ran here? Eh, someone will buy it.
"Lexi! Lexi!" I could hear my brother's frantic voice just outside the church. A second later, he ran inside, and found me.
"Oh, Lexi, thank god I found you" he wrapped me in his arms, and embraced me. Guilt swept in my veins at the thought of lying to him; about me being the Slayer, about me not really being kidnapped but being in hiding.
"What happened?" he cooed at me. Just his voice made me break down in tears. Violent sobs wracked my body as his arms held me tighter.
"I heard the al-alarm, and t-then the s-screams…it br-brought back old me-memories of be-being in the blood-whore community" after a few minutes of heavy silence, he started humming our song.
When we were little, we used to always sing 'White Flag' by Dido, because mom always had it on. We sung it to each other if we were injured, or just really sad.
I know you think that I shouldn't still love you,
Or tell you that.
But if I didn't say it, well I'd still have felt it
where's the sense in that?
I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder
Or return to where we were
I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be
I know I left too much mess and
destruction to come back again
And I caused nothing but trouble
I understand if you can't talk to me again
And if you live by the rules of "it's over"
then I'm sure that that makes sense
I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be
And when we meet
Which I'm sure we will
All that was there
Will be there still
I'll let it pass
And hold my tongue
And you will think
That I've moved on...
I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be
I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be
I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be
And just like that, I fell asleep… Only to be reawakened with a nightmare;
Everything was in ashes, there was not a speck of color anywhere. It seemed the mood had gone from overly-excited, to depressed within a matter of seconds. Why did everything have to turn to shit? Just when I met my father, when I saw my family again! Life just isn't rooting for me right now... I guess, I've had a pretty good adventure. I could hear people calling out my name, but I wouldn't respond. I couldn't. I refused, to move an inch...
"Lexi, wake up" Well, it was fun while it lasted. Groggily opening my eyes, I was met with the familiar hazel ones.
"Hey, mom. What's up?" instead of her answering, she pulled me into a bone crushing hug. My breath left my lungs the instant she pulled me towards her. I didn't want to ruin her moment by saying anything, so I kept my mouth shut. I was positive that by the time she pulled away, my face had turned purple/red color.
"I'm so happy you're alive! Don't you ever do that to me again, you hear me?" I didn't really know what she was talking about, but I nodded anyway. And then, I remembered that my Slayer clothes were still in the church. Shit!
"Hey mom, if you don't mind, I'm still really shaken up…"
"Oh, I'll let you go back to sleep. Oh, and classes are out for a week for people to…recover from the damages" she got off of my bed, and walked towards the door. I called her name when she just touched the door-handle.
"Yeah sweetie?"
"Can you please give dad another shot? When you're around each other, I can feel the sexual tension in the room. He was being compelled, you know that, right?" tears were brimming her eyes as she spoke.
"He hurt me so much though. I've forgiven him, but he needs to win back my trust…" I could tell this conversation was for another time.
"You're right, forget I said anything. Goodnight mom" she whispered a goodnight before leaving my room at last. Pulling back my bed covers, I climbed back out the window and slid down the water pipe. When I reached the ground, I ran towards the church, making sure Guardians didn't see me along the way. Once just outside the church, I quietly slipped inside and made a grab my clothes. Only, they weren't there…
"So…you're the Slayer?" Turning around at in-human speed, I came face-to-face with my twin brother, with my black clothes in his hand. Double Shit!
