I do not own Sanctuary . . . sadly but they do a good job at it anyway.
Nada had better things to do than go to school. Her first day was a complete waste of time and ended with her getting sent home early because she bashed some guy that had come onto her, she later found out that he'd been submitted into the school for Sexual Harassment. Nada was mainly a calm person; she had always known that she had gotten the trait from her mother because Nikola was anything but. But when she got in temper, boy, could she spit flames. Nada hit the gas in her car on her way home, she kept glancing around. Her instincts were on edge, she just knew something bad was going to happen. She was adjusting the rectangular glasses that she normally wore in public perched on her nose when it happened.
The Abnormal slammed into her car, crushing the door against her. If she was human she would have been dead. The car spun into the Mercedes beside hers. Nada coughed through the smoke, not that she needed to, and rubbed her eyes. She sliced her seat belt with a transformed nail and pulled herself out of the car. This Abnormal was furious and was roaring at the top of its lungs. It looked like a giant turtle, a scary turtle. Its mouth of full of blade sharp teeth twice her size, its shell got like it could take on nuclear bomb, which it probably could. The only small feature on the creature's body was the small cold black eyes that stared at her like she was lunch.
She should have now better when the creature's huge foot came towards her. She rolled out of the way with her lightening Vampire speed. She scrambled to her feet. She was aware of four other people coming up behind her, even more so when they started shooting at the creature with stunners. She quickly regretted throwing her gun on the passenger's seat when she had climbed into her car at New Cities Academy.
"Stay there!" A woman with a British accent shouted. Nada pinpointed the voice immediately.
Helen Magnus.
The giant Turtle reared its head and gave an almighty screech as it was hit by blue bolts of light, shot at it by the Sanctuary team. The turtle glared down at Nada as if she was the one that was shooting it and lowered its head to height. It growled and Nada thought quickly, she ripped off her glasses.
The creature turned to ice under her blue eyed gaze. This was Nada's special ability; she had gained from being an offspring of two Vampire counterparts. She could turn anything to ice if she really wanted to, she never really used it. Not really having the need for it anyway, hence why she wore glasses in public in case someone pissed her off.
Nada stood and froze. She was staring right at the face of her mother. The three people behind her, Nada was guessing, were Freelander, Zimmerman and Henry. Magnus was more beautiful than Nada had imagined and it was hard to believe they were related, this woman was more than beautiful, glossy long exotic brown hair. Nada finally found out where she had gotten her eyes, this woman's were full of authority and power, much like the voice Nada had heard inside the Sanctuary. Helen Magnus had a built hourglass figure that was much like Nada's. Nada looked a lot like she mother, only less beautiful, she believed.
Magnus was staring at Nada; with so much focus that it made Nada squirm. And bolt.
For Nada had turned around and ran, as fast as a Vampire could. She ran until she wrenched open the front door of the Tesla's apart and slammed the door closed on her bedroom. Nada didn't want this, she was happy with believing her mother was dead.
This was overwhelming in several different ways. Nada ran the bath in her bathroom and stripped down. She slid into the freezing water and slid down until her head of fully underwater, she thanked Nikola for getting her a deep bathtub.
Pity, I can't drown myself, she thought.
Her black hair billowed around her face. She closed her eyes, all she could see was her mother's face and for that she was deeply regretful. A part of her was angry at Nikola, for not telling her sooner, the other part was pissed that she'd put herself in the situation in the first place. If she hadn't got kicked out of the school for the day, she wouldn't have been in the car or anywhere near that Abnormal.
An hour later, Nada surfaced. She regained breathing as though she had been under there for a second, she felt better. Water always cleared her mind, gave her time to think. She had half an hour to meet Henry. She dried herself and wrapped herself in a knee length silk dressing gown and walked to her room. She passed the lounge room and frowned as she saw that the table was clear, no blueprints, nothing. Nikola never cleaned up after himself.
Nada shrugged it off and entered her room; there was a note on her bed in Nikola's script.
Nada.
Will be back as soon as possible, I've cracked something big. Be gone a fortnight at the most, hopefully.
With love,
Nikola.
"Bastard" Nada sighed.
Henry coughed as he stood at the top of Dead Bridge, he was wondering if Nada was actually going to show. He regrated leaving the Doc in the state she was in; she'd gotten home and got into her paperwork like nothing had happened. She always did this when she was upset.
He looked up as he heard the rumbling of a sports engine at the bottom of the bridge, a Tesla Roadster zoomed up the bridge and stopped beside the van he'd bought. Nada climbed out, she wasn't wearing the glasses he'd seen her in earlier in the day, she was a very attractive young woman.
"Hi" She smiled but it didn't reach her eyes.
"Hayy" He smiled back, "Nice moves today"
"Oh don't remind me" She muttered leaning on the van beside him.
Henry chuckled, "Abnormal?"
"Vampire parents" Nada muttered.
"Me too" He smiled, "I mean I'm an Abnormal not a Vamp like Vlad"
"Vlad?" Nada laughed, "You're not talking about my father are you?"
"Yeah" Henry laughed, "Sorry"
"No, I might use that one day" She said, "I'm a Vamp as well"
"Really, I thought Vlad was the last one"
"He was until I showed up 64 years ago" Nada smiled, "Nikola had my mother test me when I was 2 for Abnormality's I came up clean but I started to transform when I was 13"
"Must have been scary, I remember my transformation so clearly" Henry tucked his hands in the pocket of his jeans.
Nada sniffed for a second and then smiled, "You're a Werewolf"
"Don't use the W word, I am a HAP" Henry said, mocking outraged.
Nada laughed, "You're funny, my father was wrong"
"What does Tesla say about me?"
"Well" Nada looked over the water, her arms crossed, "You are referred to as the Puppy in my house hold"
Henry barked out a laugh, "That's Tesla for you"
They stood in comfortable silence for a while. Nada sighed and said, "How did my mother react?"
"Magnus has a different way of coping to everyone; she sat in her office and attacked her paperwork with a vengeance." Henry muttered, softly, "She's not mad at you, if that's what you're thinking"
"I was a coward, I ran instead of confronting her" Nada replied, her tone as hard as stone.
"You were scared. I don't blame you, if I ever met my parents I wouldn't know what to do"
"You don't know your parents?"
"Magnus found me on a Moor when I was six and brought me to the Sanctuary" Henry explained.
"I'm sorry"
"No problem, I love the life I have and the family"
They sat and laughed about all kinds of things, Henry told her about Magnus and Nada told him about her adventures in her 64 years. They enjoyed each other's company and had a lot of things in common. Henry found himself smiling for the first time in forever.
A lot longer than usual but I hoped you liked it. I wasn't sure how I wanted to write this chapter and my little sister got into my computer (Which is now under password) and went through all my files. I think I fixed everything but if there is anything in there please PM or review it in for me and I'll fix it. And yes this is going to be a Teslen, I just haven't got Nada to the Sanctuary but Nikola will soon follow. And chemistry between Nada and Henry! I wasn't planning on her having a relationship but review if you want her with Henry.
Reviews appreciated.
