Chapter 2

Lexi woke up in the middle of a dark room. She tried to move her arms but she found they were chained to the ground with wooden handcuffs. She looked around for any sign of life but she could see no one in the room. She looked up to where a large circular skylight was directly above her. Lexi could see the moon through it. She tried to work out how long she'd been unconscious. She guessed it couldn't have been more than an hour. Suddenly a large door creaked open and eight men walked in. They all wore long black cloaks to conceal their identities. They created a circle around her where eight chairs suddenly appeared. Seven men sat leaving one man stood directly in front of Lexi. She opened her mouth to say something but the man in front put his hand up to silence her. He then sat and pulled down the hood of his cloak. Lexi froze when she saw the face. It was Hunter Redfern. Hunter looked extremely tired. Lexi presumed this was because of Lily dying recently. She had been vaporised by Jez Redfern the first Wild Power.

"Let's get this over with. I want them damned day breakers dead," he said sternly. Lexi raised her eyebrows.

"This sounds like it's going be fun." She slimed as she said it. "Although if you expect me to cooperate I'd appreciate not being treated like a rouge," she said looking down at the shackles. Hunter smirked slightly then waved his hand at them. They snapped open. Lexi rose to her feet rubbing her wrists. "So you want me to go and kill them all? Sounds like fun."

"Not exactly." Lexi froze. "We want you to infiltrate it, yes. But don't take it down yet. We need to know what they know."

"You mean befriend them? No way!"

"You have to if you ever wish to stay by my side." Lexi sighed and lowered her head. "Listen you're my daughter so you will do as I say."

"What about Quinn? Don't you think he'll know? I know we were close but he'll suspect something."

"That's why you need to pretend to do something wrong."

"Wait you're saying I have your permission to break one of the night world rules?"

"I knew you'd take interest in that." Hunter said smiling. "I don't know why you changed your name, you're a true Redfern.

"Please only real cowards hide behind a legacy. Real Vampires make their own."

"Indeed you have. Now you know of the Wild Power."

"Yeah, I know Jez," Lexi said bitterly. "Can't I just go in there and stake her? I'll be in and out in no time."

"Look we need information and soon."

"Fine let me go and I'll do it."

"Wait." The voice came from behind Lexi. She turned to see a tall vampire had pulled back his cloak. Turist Blakefield sat staring at Lexi. She turned and glared at him. She saw him move uncomfortably. She knew it was because of her eyes. They were a bright Egyptian blue. Everyone was afraid of them. There were hundreds of stories of how she killed people with just her eyes. Some were true but most of them talked about how people only died of shock. The truth was that when she was young Hunter had been in a fight with Hellewise the Goddess of the witches. Hellewise had gotten so angry that she had tried to use a spell on Hunter. Instead of hitting him it Lexi straight in the eyes. So now she had a small amount of witch power but only by using her eyes.

Now Lexi was using this to scare Turist into silence. He didn't stop he just carried on talking. "How can we trust her?" Lexi heard a small amount of laughter behind her but she kept looking at Turist. Suddenly a gust of wind blew past her and Hunter appeared in front of Turist. He grabbed him by the throat and lifted him.

"Are you questioning my daughter?" Turist struggled to get free but Hunter tightened his grip. "Just remember who saved you from that large group of hungry wolves." Lexi smiled and then stood beside her father.

"It's alright. I think that mark on his neck is enough for him to remember." Lexi looked at his neck where a large scar lay. It was the shape of two large teeth marks from where a werewolf had bitten him. Suddenly Turist's hand flew to his neck where Lexi saw it burning. She looked away back at her father. "I'll do it. In fact I'll go now." Hunter smiled at her then nodded his head.

"Then this meeting's over." He then turned and left. Lexi looked at Turist for a few moments then left.
