“You know how we’re the only vampire born twins?” asked Mason.
“Yeah,” I said.
“Well,” he said stretching out on one of the comfy white couches in the sunroom. “We have some special powers. Even after all this time we don’t know them all. One of them is that we can kind of astral project. That’s the only way I can think to describe it. My body stay’s here but my mind and spirit form is free to roam. But I have to have be at my full strength to do it. We both do,” he said as Danny came back with eight bags of blood. He took them and downed the first two in one gulp. I noticed that while he was drinking his eyes turned black but as soon as he was done they went back to a vibrant silver. He drank the next two slower and left the other four. “In other words I will be able to warn the others. I can do it through their minds or I can let them see me but since I’d rather not scare anyone of fright I think I’ll just tell them through their mind. I could warn the vampires without astral projection but not the Coven. This is the only way.”
He scooted around on the couch for about three seconds and then his eyes closed. I gasped in shock when what looked like Mason’s ghost appear. He winked at me. His lips didn’t move but I could hear him clearly, “The leak is Aleksei. You can’t trust him. Guard yourselves,” he spoke in all of our minds. I saw his ghost form snap back to his physical body and his eyelids flutter. Danny was at his side in an instant ripping open a bag of blood and putting it to his brothers lips.
“It makes us weak when we perform astral projection,” Danny said. “It takes a lot of energy.”
I nodded and moved to look out the window once again.
I could tell the others had gotten the message. Jonathon looked even angrier than before and his flames burned brighter and deadlier. The Coven members looked frozen in shock but they were still aiming their weapons at Selena and now at the man that was supposed to be their leader. I could see Isaac’s midnight blue eyes dilate in calculation. He lifted his beautiful sword and charged them both with a scream like some kind of warrior. I saw Aleksei say something, it looked like a warning, but Isaac ignored him.
Selena raised her eyebrows. I noticed her shield had disappeared. She raised her arms as if to say, ‘take your shot’.
Suddenly with inhuman speed she was beside him. She hit him hard and he flew through the air. He hit the ground harder than I had. A lot harder. She hadn’t meant to hurt me, yet, but she had meant to hurt Isaac. He had dropped his sword and it landed by her feet.
“Don’t,” said Jonathon.
She smiled and took a step and then another.
He threw a ball of flame at her but she deflected it with her shield. I saw Jonathon barely duck out of the way as it came soaring back at him. I saw Isaac’s dad jump on top of her. She shook him off and he went sliding into Aleksei who just shook his head. I wanted to scream. Jonathon threw another flame at her. She deflected this one and instead of flying back at Jonathon it hit a tree which instantly caught on fire. I could see Amelia huffing and puffing with impatience which was almost comical. I could see that Patrick was trying to come up with a plan. Joseph had a look of intense concentration and I knew he was trying to get her to see something else. Diana had her eyes closed as if in mediation. Suddenly, as if from nowhere, water poured down on Selena. She didn’t seem to notice but the sight of her looking like a drenched alley cat was almost comical. Diana seemed pleased with herself.
Gregory, Isaac’s dad, tried to get up but Aleksei put a foot on his chest. Aleksei’s scar looked red and pulsing in the strange light. His face was screwed up in hatred. I saw him twist his foot and Gregory screamed out in pain. I knew without a doubt that his ribs were broken. Out of nowhere Emmatine appeared behind Aleksei
and she stabbed a sword through his heart. Blood spurted everywhere. It covered the ground, Aleksei, Emmatine, and Gregory. Aleksei’s body fell to the ground and Emmatine embraced Gregory.
Selena continued her advance towards Isaac her pale purple shield shimmering. Isobel appeared in front of her brother. She braced herself, lifted her sword, and said, “I don’t think so bitch.”
Selena smirked, grabbed Isobel, who kicked at her feebly. Selena threw Isobel into the stone house where her head connected with a sickening cracking noise. I watched Isobel fall to the ground. She didn’t move. Selena swung Isaac’s sword around a few times. He started to sit up. He rubbed the back of his head and blinked his eyes. Upon seeing Selena standing over him with his sword in her hands his eyes widened in horror. The Coven members tried to attack her but it was pointless. Their efforts bounced off of her shield. We were all going to die. I began to cry.
“Stop looking,” said Danny as he hovered over the prone form of his brother. But I couldn’t. I was riveted in fear.
She stood over Isaac, “Any last words, hero?”
“Go to hell,” he said and spit a wad of blood and saliva on her.
“Gladly,” she said and thrust the sword through his abdomen and straight into the ground. Isaac’s eyes met my horror stricken ones before they faded out.
“Nooooo!” I screamed and ran back outside. My actions had taken Danny by surprise and so I had managed to slip out. I started to run towards him. “Isaac,” I cried, “Please, no,” I moaned.
“Kylie, get back!” yelled Jonathon. I was beyond listening I only had one focus. Isaac. Isaac was dead and it was my fault.
I heard some kind of shout from behind and then, “Get out of here! Go up! Up!” Someone grabbed me from behind and we soared into the air. We landed with a thud on the roof. I heard others grunt from the landing. I saw that each vampire had grabbed a human, a Coven member, and had then flown us all to the roof. Danny was on top of me. He rolled off and leaned over to look down at the scene below us. I found myself looking too. The yard was being engulfed in flames. Bodies littered the ground. Some familiar and some not. And in the middle standing across from each other was Jonathon and Selena. They just stood and looked at each other. Neither moving. Just staring.
I saw her throw her head back and laugh. Jonathon twisted his head as if studying her. The wind picked up and lifted his voice to us, “I see the mania has set in? Are you hearing voices too?”
“Silly, silly Jonathon, you are mistaken. I am laughing because your demise is standing right in front of you and you don’t even look scared. You know you can’t win. I will win. I will kill you and I will kill her.”
“You really think that don’t you? You were always conceited Selena but I never thought you suicidal,” growled Jonathon.
She laughed and glared at him, “You are the suicidal one Jonathon. You can’t win. I’m stronger than you,” she said and waved to the bodies littering the burning ground.
“Are you?” he said and suddenly his whole body was engulfed in the purple-blue flames. For the first time ever I saw fear on Selena’s face. Someone slid over next to me and peered down. The person next to me chuckled and I turned to look at him. It was Gabriel.
“He’s amazing,” he whispered to himself, “You both will do great things,” he added even quieter. I gave him a puzzled glance but looked back to the scene below me.
Selena was staring into the flames confused. Her shield glimmered an even brighter purple. She looked like a scared frail animal and if I didn’t know what she had done and what she was capable of I would feel sorry for her. But she was evil and she deserved her fate.
