Training
I ran back to Riley's as quick as I could. The sun would soon come up and I didn't want to get caught outside. It would raise too much suspicion. I ran through the forest following the trail left by Fred and others that had been out tonight. The sun was starting to rise and I needed to be back in a hurry. I jumped from tree to tree when I heard something.
A tinkling laugh that sounded like a demented child. Victoria. I shuddered. It sounded like she was talking to someone. I followed the sound as quietly as possible being careful not to even make the slightest noise that could announce my presence.
The tree that I was perching in overlooked a small clearing. In that clearing stood three people…well vampires. Riley, Victoria and Diego. They were talking in hushed voices that I strained to hear even this my vampire ears.
" you really believed that we wouldn't know." Victoria laughed. " Of course we know the sun doe=sent do anything to us. We're not idiots." She said with a vicious smile. Diego tried to take a step back but found himself cornered by Riley.
" What shall we do with him Victoria." He asked. He looked disappointed with Diego. Victoria's hand flashed out and grabbed Diego round the throat and squeezed. One wrong move and she would take his head off.
" Does anyone else know. Did you tell anyone?" She hissed. Diego glared at her.
" No one else knows. I swear." She dropped him.
" Good." She sneered. " Riley. Dispose of him. We have no more use for him. He's lost most of his newborn strength."
I had to do something quick. If I didn't Diego would die and I could never live with myself it I let that happen. Riley circled him.
Something suddenly clicked in my head. I knew exactly how to use my power. I put my right hand inform of me and closed my eyes. I imagined Diego disappearing from where he stood next to Riley and appear next to me. But in his place would be a clone.
As soon as the thought left my head, it happened. I felt the power flicker in my fingertips and spark outwards. Making the imagination .Reality.
The real Diego stared at me with frightened eyes as he heard the fake him get ripped apart slowly. I put a finger to my lips and grabbed his hand and started leading him away silently.
When I thought we were far enough away I let go of his hand and hugged him. " I'm sorry. I should have warned you about Riley but I only just remembered tonight." I was dry sobbing. I had come to think of Diego as an older brother.
" Its okay. We need to go back and get Bree. Then we can get out of here. Never come back.-" I stopped him with my hand.
" You cant go back. They just killed a copy of you. This is what were gonna do."
******** TIME SKIP******
Dawn was breaking and I had only just managed to get back to the house in time. I leapt down the stairs of the now abandoned house and opened the door to the basement. Riley was shouting again and I cringed.
"- and hold you down while she tears off your legs and then slowly, slowly burns off your fingers, ears, lips, tongue, and every other superfluous appendage one by one."
I shut the door quietly behind me and started moving down the stairs. Everyone head snapped to me at my late arrival.
" Hey all. What did I miss?" I said in a sarcastic tone. As I skipped down the stairs,
" We're all going to die and you walk in late you stupid little kid." I growled as Raoul.
" say that again. I dare you." I hissed.
" This" Riley shouted. " Is what I'm talking about. If we are going to defeat our enemy's we need to be united as one. We need to work as a team." I cocked my head to the side as if I didn't understand. Riley smiled at me sadly. " There's going to be a fight. A large coven wants our blood and we have to defend out territory."
Growls of agreement raged out with him. I frowned. They were all morons. I twirled my way over to where Bree and Fred sat staring at Riley with mistrust. I sat down on the sofa next to Fred and got a Italian dictionary out of my bag. I blocked everyone out and started to read.
For my plan to work I needed to appear older than I actually was and learning to speak a load of foreign languages would help with that.
I don't know how long I was actually just sitting there reading numerous books but the sound of stone hitting stone awoke me from my literate daze. The newborns were fighting with Riley shouting order on what to do above them.
" They're learning how to fight." Fred said at a whisper. I nodded as I saw Raoul rip the arm off a dark haired boy. He looked like he was enjoying it. I stood up and Fred grabbed my wrist. " what are you doing?" He hissed in concern.
" I'm going to kick his ass for that earlier comment." I smirked and skipped over to where Riley stood. He almost jumped in surprise when he noticed me.
" Your good at sneaking up on people." He said with an appreciative nod. He suddenly smirked. " Do you want to join in. I know you can handle yourself…but they don't. " he said with a nod towards the other idiots. I grinned.
" Okay everyone!" Riley said with a clap of his hands. The vampires in the room stopped pulling each other apart and gave their victims their limbs back. " I want everyone to watch this." He said as he pointed to me. " Me and Angel are going to fight, you can learn a lot from this." He smiled.
A few of the girls laughed and glared at me. I walked into the middle of the crowd and stopped with my back facing Riley. I heard his coming a hand pressed on my shoulder and I flipped him over me. His back his the concrete with an explosion that caused dust to sprout into the air.
I flitted away from him and waited for another attack. The basement was quiet as they waited for riley to make another move. He jumped up with a snarl and ran at me. His fist pumping the air where I once was as I dodged from side to side. I kicked my leg out and let him fall again. But this time he didn't go down. He grabbed my ankle and spun me off the floor.
Spinning me around and letting me fly towards a wall. I twisted in the air and let myself land in a graceful crouch.
" I'm getting bored." I said with a yawn. " I think it's time to end this." I ran at Riley. He was ready to bloke my attack but I somersaulted over his back and spun. Before he had time to turn around I was on his back with my mouth at his throat.
A sudden clapping and laughing brought me out of my fight induced adrenaline as I landed lightly next to Riley. He looked surprised and astonished just like the other faces around the room.
" This is how we will win the war" Riley said as he picked me up and raised me into the air. The crown cheered and clapped.
What they didn't know was that I was going to betray them all.
I know I haven't updated in ages. Sorry about that. I really don't have an excuse but I plan to update more frequently now.
