Chapter Two: First Helios Ra Attack

I woke up and smiled. I was in new house, new neighbours new job (sort of), and new friends – basically new everything. I yawned before going downstairs to find some old clothes of mine. I grabbed a clean pair of underwear, my joggers, purple tank top as well as hairbrush and toothbrush and toothpaste.

I had a quick shower as I needed to crack on and unpack my things. Once I was refreshed I started with my clothes, I carried all the boxes with my clothes in and plonked them in the middle of what would be my bedroom once I got my bed in there. I found my speakers and plugged my iPod in humming and dancing along to the music. My clothes didn't take long to do as I hadn't packed all of them; I had to leave some behind unfortunately.

I decided that I needed to urgently put my wards up, I had no idea what was living in Violet Hill and it was always better to be prepared then sorry – a motto I picked up from my dad. I hid the boxes where I packed all my weapons under the stairs. I didn't want an innocent neighbour coming over to help me unpack and find a stash of weapons in one of the boxes.

I found the crystals and went outside and got in my truck. One of the downsides was that this house came with so much land that I had to drive a truck to reach the edge of the land. It took about a good hours' worth to place all the crystals evenly spaced from one another. I also had to hide them under bushes as they stick out like a sore thumb in a forest. It was getting dark quite quickly so I wanted to get back.

When I got back I realized there wasn't much to do apart from move all the heavy furniture about. I was moving the sofa about when there was a knock on the door. I used my senses to find out who it was when I realized that it was Lucy. I was too focused on moving the furniture that I hadn't realized the ward had warned me that I had a visitor. I turned my music down before opening the door.

'Hi Lucy.' I smiled.

'I was just wandering if you needed any help unpacking?' she said. 'Well I should say my parents sent me over.' She rolled her eyes.

'Yeah, why not.' I said, I moved out of the way so she could come in. 'Have you got your old clothes on then as I'm doing some painting but if not you can borrow some of mine.'

'Yeah, my mom figured that you'd be decorating.'

'She's a very clever woman then.' I said. 'Do you want anything to eat or drink?' I asked.

'Can I have a glass of water please?'

'Sure.' I called from the kitchen as I ate a biscuit and got Lucy a glass of water and gave it to her.

'Before we do any painting though we have to strip the wallpaper off.'

Lucy groaned. 'I thought I would've have missed that.'

'Nope.' I said.

My ward went off I heard the sound of truck coming up my drive. Hopefully this would be my bed coming right now. Once it reached the house it parked and I heard someone getting out of the van.

'Is there anything else I can help you with rather than do that?' Lucy said.

'I know, I don't want to do it either. I guess we can do that later.' I said. 'You can help me move the furniture.'

There was a knock on the door and I opened it to see a delivery man standing there. He was quite old and he was holding a clip board.

'Miss Kayda Rena?' he asked.

'Yes.'

'Sign here.' He said handing me the clip board and pen. I quickly signed the paper and he took the pen and clip board back and walked back to his where he was helped by his companion to lift the bed out the back. I grabbed my purse ready to tip them once they brought the bed inside and up to my room.

They managed to get it up the porch stairs and before they could set it down in the hall I produced some money.

'Could you put it upstairs third door down?' I asked smiling politely and getting quite a few dollars out of my purse. They eyed the money and they lifted the bed up and slowly made their way to the room upstairs then they retrieved the mattress and put it up there as well.

Once they got it in the room they came back downstairs and I handed them the money.

'Thank you so much.' I smiled and shut the door when they were outside. 'Let's get the bed set up.' I said.

For something so simple, it was proving to be really difficult.

'Okay, I could have called some of the Drake boys over, they are really strong and if you're lucky they would probably do the painting too.' She said.

'Who are these mysterious Drake boys?' I said raising an eyebrow.

'Solange's brothers. She's my best friend and I date one her brothers, Nicholas Drake.' She said as we fitted the slats onto the bed.

'Ah.' I said wiggling my eyebrows and she chucked a pillow at me. 'Hey!' I caught it and threw back at her. She had good reflexes and caught it.

'Shut up!' she laughed. 'They're busy anyway. But they should be free in the evening, if not I can get them to come round another time.'

'That'd be great, thanks Lucy.' I smiled. We finished at long last and then we moved the bed against the wall in the centre of the room and we shoved the mattress on top. I rooted round some boxes and found some sheets and pillow cases for the duvet, pillows and mattress and Lucy helped me make the bed.

We then had to move the sofa into the corner which was quite heavy but I could have done it without Lucy as I was very strong but I couldn't show off that I was part witch and part werewolf to Lucy.

At that moment the ward signalled another visitor. I stopped pushing the sofa and Lucy looked at me confused, her smile fading.

'Kayda?' she asked.

'Sh.' I held my hand up and cocked my head. There five coming from the front and two coming from the back. I grabbed Lucy and pulled her out into the hallway and shoved her into the cupboard under the stairs. She immediately started banging on the door and I locked it and then put a chair up against the handle just in case.

'Let me out!' she yelled.

I didn't have any of my weapons as they were in the box under the stairs so I opened the door a bit and peaked outside. It was quite dark but I could make out the people running across the grass easily.

I opened the door quickly and silently before running out and towards the first person dressed in black. I knocked the first one out with a kick and then the second with a hit to the head. The other three knew I was outside and they had night vision goggles on to see. They were human at least but that made it just as dangerous. Using telekinesis I flung them up in the air and they fell to the floor unconscious. They weren't dead; I was against killing humans even if they were trying to kill me. The other two who were coming from the back of the house, they had obviously heard the commotion and came running round to the front but I was ready for them and knocked the first one out and then shoved the other one against the house wall, twisting his hand against his back.

'Who are you?' I demanded. Hurting him even more by twisting his arm further.

'Who are you?' he spat at me.

'You were the ones trying to sneak into my home and kill me. Jeez it's my first day here.' I said. 'Now tell me, or I'll break your arm.'

'Helios-Ra.' He cried out slapping his other arm against the wall in pain. I gasped. Helios-Ra. In California, they had been wiped out by the alpha a long time ago so everyone assumed they didn't exist any more and that they were a myth, apparently not. My grip must have loosened because the man spun round and hit me in the face with his hand. I swept him off his feet and he tumbled to the ground and I dug my foot into his throat.

'What are you doing at my house?' I said.

'We got a tip from an anonymous caller. They said you were dangerous and needed to be killed once and for all.' He said trying to gasp for breath. No one knew I was here unless my aunt tracked me and told Sam but she wouldn't do that.

I pulled the man up by his throat.

'Don't ever come back here. Because if I ever see you and any of your friends ever again, I will kill you.' I hissed and chucked him away. He ran over to his friends who were slowly getting up and waited until they had left before I went back inside and let Lucy out.

'Okay, what the hell is going on?!' she screeched at me.

'Lucy. Lucy!' I grabbed her by the shoulders and shook her. 'Calm down.'

She looked at me and slowed her breathing. 'What the hell is going on?' she asked once she was calm.

'I don't know.' I said and before she could say anything else I cast a spell. 'Oblivisci.'

She fell unconscious and I caught her before she fell to the floor. I quickly carried her into the front room and placed her on the sofa before turning the telly to MTV music and sat down on the armchair. A couple of seconds later I heard Lucy wake up.

'What happened?' she said sitting up looking around.

'You fell asleep after pushing the sofa into place.' I said.

'I better get going; my mom said dinner would be ready by eight.' She said standing up. I followed her to the door and watched her get to her car.

'Thanks for helping me out today!' I called out to her. She waved and then drove off in her car. I shut the door and locked it. I hoped there wouldn't be any more attacks.

I got my weapons out and carried them down to the basement. The previous owner must have been very organized or something because the walls of the basement were lined with shelves which was quite handy for me. I had guns, daggers, swords, Tasers, arrows and bows; I literally had every weapon possible.

I took two daggers and placed one in the kitchen and one upstairs under my bed.
