Tarot Tells All

CHAPTER 5

Kay took a deep breath, she wasn't going to let them on that she knows what they were, Vampire 101 wasn't a class back at the Manor. So they knew she's a witch, that's just fine, she can play dumb to get threw this shoot. But she was curios as to why these two came out of hiding and are risking getting caught by Slayers?

"Hi!" Kay put on a big smile and waved at them, "I'm Kay, I'll be your photographer today, if you can just take your place between the props, we can get this started…"

"You have wasted enough of our time…" Mr Thorn starred down at Kay as if she was nothing more than a worm below him, but Arial smiled a little as she leaned closer to the witch.

"Sorry about that, Mr Thorn, but I am trying to get out of here as fast as I can too." Kay walked back to her camera stand and began taking blank shots to focus her camera.

Thorn and Ariel made their made in the shot, Kay pulled back a bit and was ready.

"Ok, just do what come natural…" Kay began to take snaps as Ariel began to slither around Thorn's body in provocative positions as her male starred manically into the camera.

Kay didn't notice the feeling at first, but she seemed to concentrate more on Kevin's eyes, then the feeling intensified. Kayla pulled her camera away and began to rub her eyes, she starred back that the Male and gave him a look of warning, Thorn starred back at her with his own non verbal threat. She wasn't fooling them for a moment. It was clear that he didn't like her around here, he pried into her mind for just a moment, the raven had shooed him back before anything could happen. He was testing her, was he thinking she was a threat?

"I'm done with you…" Kay turned away from them, she forgot that one never stares in the eyes of a vampire, they can enter your mind long enough to shut down your defences and take your life.

She felt the cold touch of his hand on her neck, Kay spun around to see them still a great distance away from her. She glared at them for a moment before they life with a grin on their faces.

He was messing with her, telling her that he wasn't afraid, she was nothing to him. There have been stories of witches being turned into vampires, their powers growing during the transformations. But the witches destroyed them as soon as they were discovered, keeping the balance as best they can.

"Assholes…" Kay downloaded the pics on her lap top again, she didn't like this.

There was Undead running around, thinking that they can fuck with a witch of all things! Why weren't hey afraid of her? Usually Vampires run at the sight of someone who can throw a fire ball pretty quick.

Vampires were immune to everything but silver, oak, sunlight, and fire. They can regenerate in a fast rate from anything else, and a witch's first spell is a fire ball.

These vampires were not afraid of her, Kayla's mind began to ponder, what were they doing here? Were there more of them? If so, where they planning something? Eagerness for a new quest began to fill her mind, she could get on full time here and use it as a rouse to rack them down. She could use a invisible to undead spell, they wouldn't notice her anymore, then she could really get in deep…

"Kay!" Kayla jumped as her brother shouted her name for the fourth time sine he entered the room.

"Holy shit!" Kayla began to catch her breath, "Did you have to scare me?"

"I called your name a few times before I shouted," Dave gave her that strange look, "what's up?"

"Nothing…" Kay grinned, she didn't tell Dave much of the trouble that she had been getting into lately, what's one more?

"I know that look…you're up to something…" Dave smiled, "what is it now?"

"Just thinking, that's all. Say, do you know if they're looking for a photographer in ECW?" Kay smiled wide, Dave just shook his head.

"Why ECW, Kay? I know you're up to something."

"They're traveling with Smackdown for a while, I just thought we could spend our time together, that's all. I know I've been spending most of my time with Mark lately….I just don't want us growing apart…"

"Aw…" Dave pulled his little sister close and gave her a hard hug, "I love you too…"

"Dave…you're…crushing me…" Kay tried to get out of his grip, Dave let her down gently.

"That would be awesome. I can get you on ECW, that's not a problem." Dave smiled again.

"Great, ready for your close up?" Kay held up her camera.

"Yup, giver…" Dave was using just a simple black back drop, it worked well with the light and matching trunks. The glitter on the belt shone brightly as she snapped over a hundred pictures.

"Ok, Dave, got them, great as usual. You've always been my favourite model." Kay said as she began downloading the pics again.

"So now what?" Dave leaned over to get a few glimpse of the photos as they downloaded.

"I take these to the auditing room and down load the finished owns in the server. Then the editor does the rest. He'll pick the ones after I go through the first set."

"How long does that take?" Dave asked.

"Give me a half hour, that should give you plenty of time to take a shower and meet me there." Kay replied as she packed her bags and gave her big brother a kiss on the cheek.

"Ok, I'll go talk to Shane McMahon, about that job."

"Thanks, see you later." She left the room and walked out of the green room, she knew where she was going from the last time she had worked for WWE.

Last time was because she was investigating the Reaper, who knew it had lead her to the love of her life…but with a few derailing along route. But then it had lead her down a path of great power, a power she felt not ready for. There was also a feeling of dread as she tried to think about the Avatar's powers. She didn't remember using it at anytime, the last time Mark had said that the Rage was in control. Maybe that's were the problem lies, what horror could she unknowingly do if the rage took a hold of the power again? And there was no Mark to stop her?

She knew he was her weakness, the Reaper's touch could always calm her down what ever she would be feeling. Be it fear, sadness, or anger, Mark's loving touch would always bring her back. She knew that much, but still brought a haunting chill of bad things to come.

Kayla opened the heavy steel door and entered the processing lab, she flicked on a few lights and took a spot near the desks. Taking out her lap top and sitting down at the desk, she began to go through the first set of pictures to eliminate ones that didn't turn out well.

It was times like these that Kay's mind sometimes is too focused on a task that she doesn't pay attention on her other senses. She didn't notice the drop in temperature in the room, her woollen jacket kept the shill out. She didn't hear the boots walk up unnaturally silent behind her, nor the pale gloved hand with long black fingernails reached out to touch the women on her shoulder.

To be continued.
