From the Shadows

"Ok wait so you're telling me there's someone named Dmitri is coming after us and there's also someone you remember but not completely that's trying to help us?" Says Vincent with a puzzled look on his face.

"Pretty much." Just a few minutes ago Vincent woke me from a "vision" as he's calling it. "The voice of the lady that I recognized but not completely said that I wasn't just a mermaid."

"Well what did she say? Definitely not vampire other wise you would have sharper teeth."

"Well she was a it to tell me but you woke me up, its fine though you were just worried about me." I stand up and walk to the foot of the bed I slept in last night. "Eww was I really sweating that much?!" I say as I notice the pool of sweat on the sheets.

"EWW AHAHA."

"I'm taking a shower." I say as I scrunch up my nose in disgust.

I come out of the shower to find Vincent in a tight embrace with a girl I don't recognize. "Uhm, hello." I say awkwardly, I've never been good at meeting new people.

"Jordan this is my friend Beatrice." He says with a smile that shows they are or were more than just friends at one point.

"Mhhmm friend" I say making quotation marks in the air. "Hello Beatrice"

"Hi Jordan." Says Beatrice as the corner of her lips go up to show her fangs.

I hate to admit it but she makes me insecure. She's just so beautiful, her long black hair reaches her lower back and her skin is so clear. With immortality comes beauty but also the curse of seeing everyone around you die. The curse I received just gave me the curse not so much the beauty.

"I know vampires are known for loving the blood of mermaids, personally I hate it. Don't get me wrong though I don't hate mermaids I hate the taste I their blood, too salty." she says jumping on Vincent's bed and putting her hands behind her head.

"Well now that you're here would you like to tell me if you know anyone named Dmitri?" Asked Vincent.

"HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT NAME!" Screams Beatrice.

"Beatrice calm down, look last night I had a dream.."

"Vision." interrupted Vincent.

"Whatever." I said waving him off. "anyways in this dream I was swimming in the sea and I see a red glowing stone from that stone comes a shadow and it surrounded me. After that I saw the red stone again and from it came a voice that told me Dmitri is awakened and he's going to try to kill everyone that lives on earth to recreate it."

"No no no," says Beatrice her head now between her legs. "Look Dmitri is the one that created the very first of us. One vampire, werewolf, mermaid and shadow hound. Witches are just humans who practice black magic and from them came mermaids, fairies and shapeshifters. The very first Mermaid disappeared and the first werewolf and vampire killed each other declaring war against all vampires and werewolves."

Knock knock

Beatrice's face instantly goes pale.

"Do not open that door."

"Why not?" I ask her moving towards the door.

"Don't move." She whispers sternly pointing at me and Vincent.

"I know you're in there. Hahahaha."

"Run." says Beatrice.
