Ok so this is totally unfair, I completely fell in love with this story and no one reviews! This is so completely wrong, I didn't know it wasn't worth reading. Oh well, if you truly don't like it, then I will just post it for my own amusement, but I urge you to review, because that makes my plot bunnies come back with a vengeance.

…...

Julia stood and placed herself between the rather elderly man and Claudia, fearing what he might do. Her eyes narrowed as he spoke of the gods and said bitterly "I don't believe in gods or goddesses."

His eyes took on a twinkle of merriment as he said to her "and why, pray tell, is that my dear?"

Claudia looked up at Julia, concern on her face as she knew that her mama hated anything religious. It was true that Claudia was nearly a millennia old but she had seen some kind of need within Julia's eyes as she embraced the girl on that fateful night.

Claudia seemed to notice how far up of the ground she was and looked down. Two pale legs stood out and Claudia blushed as she saw that her dress, which used to go past her feet, now came just above her knees. It used to be rather baggy but now hugged her body in just the right spots making her curves- wait a minute…I've got breasts… She felt her stomach and trailed her fingers around her body to see that she now had hips.

Claudia's head snapped up when she heard her mother speak.

"I do not think that any god that truly loved its creations would allow a being like me to live in it, forever damned to be the bringer of death and destruction."

The elderly man's eyes seemed to become cautious as he chose his words carefully "what exactly do you mean by that?"

Julia passed up the question for another. "who are you and where are we? Well a better question would be.." she looked at his choice of clothing "what time are we in?"

He looked at her and answered her questions in one sentence "I am Gandalf the Grey, you are in middle earth in the third age. Also, just by judging your clothes you must be very far off in the future." He holds up a hand to stop her as he speaks "I do not want to know where from, I do not wish to change the future. Now as for the reason you are here. I called upon the gods to aid me and bring to warriors to help us in this war of ours, but I believe I made a mistake. You two are no warriors."

Claudia's chest puffed up and her face reddened in anger. Immediately, everything around her started to tremble and shake. Rocks and boulders rose in the air, ready to attack the bringer of her rash anger. Placing a hand calmly on Claudia's shoulder, the girl looked up slightly at the woman and calmed herself, making everything drop that had risen from the ground.

Gandalf watched the scene with interest, a finger set on his pursed lips thoughtfully. He wondered if the other had powers such as this, but then there was the problem of the girl, as she said, being the bringer of destruction and chaos.

Julia looked back up at Gandalf to see him deep in thought. Tilting her head to the side questioningly, she watched as expressions flew across his face. Briefly, she wondered how one man could have so many emotions within him whereas most men could barely make due with one. The jab at the fact that she was a woman and therefore unable to fight had sparked her amusement. Her against one of the strongest, fastest men there would most likely end up in his untimely death, she had a hard time controlling her strength when it came to fighting.

She quickly became bored with his silence, so she quickly spoke.

"We are possibly the most deadly warriors you can find. We are fast, heal quickly, and are strong. Although, I have no idea about Claudia anymore, she still seems to have her powers so I am guessing that all the rest of the traits are intact." She glanced briefly at Claudia who once again inspecting herself and turned her gaze back to Gandalf, who's attention was now fully on her. "However… I have a certain requirement for a special nourishment that if I ignore for very long, will make me go temporarily mad or in another instance, will make my abilities quickly dissolve."

Gandalf regarded her quietly, staring at her with curious yet cautious eyes, encouraging her to go on.

Claudia looked up at her mother quietly, she had been listening vaguely but was surprised to find that her mother was actually talking to the man. It seems her mother wanted to help. She smiled lightly but then thought about how her mother had to feed every month, lest she starve herself. Claudia's appetite had been more intense than that, she had to feed on at least 2 every day.

Well I used to…I have no idea if ill need to now.

When Julia didn't speak, Claudia took it upon herself to answer. "She needs blood to live." Gandalf looked at her strangely, as if it were obvious but Claudia shook her head knowing what he thought. "Not in that way, she is what you would call a vampire, blood drinker if you will." She could feel Gandalf's alarm at this news as he looked at Julia. There had been rumors, stories of blood drinkers, they were said to hold unnatural strength that could break you like a blade of grass, and speed fast enough to only see a blur as they pass, but in the stories, they were completely evil, said to only bring death.

When she saw another array of emotions pass his face as he stared at her, Julia sighed and said "I do not require much blood and I don't require it everyday. I feed once a full moon as you would say and feed from a multitude of creatures so as not to disturb mortals."

He seemed to relax at this and couldn't help but inquire "Would you have the same gifts as this young girl." His eyes flicked appreciatively to Claudia which made the girls chest swell with pride.

She glanced briefly at Claudia and shook her head.

"No I do not. I have another….interesting…gift as you say.." Her hesitation at speaking with this man seemed to grow exponentially as she grew nearer and nearer to explaining her own ability. In short, it created a colossal mess and was completely horrific when turned against another.

She looked down, her bangs covering her eyes from the stranger as Claudia tensed by her and raised an arm to touch her shoulder. Still not used to Claudia's size she whipped her head to her side to glare at her and Claudia stiffened at the amount of poison sent through that glare. It softened a bit on contact but it still was left in Claudia's memory just waiting for a chance to kick her when she was down.

Gandalf the Grey called out to her "Why don't you girls join me, I'm just on my way to Rivendale to meet with an old friend. Together, we shall decide if you girls are truly able to help with this war.

With that being said, he turned around and started to walk towards the forest at a slow pace.
