Ed has his arms around me protectively as James stands before us, dressed like some sort of God. Maybe like Loki from The legends of Thor. It makes him seem even more unreal, more insane and threatening. The security around us have their guns pointed at him but no one will shoot unless they have to at risk of hitting me or Ed. James takes a step closer and the tension grows. He grins at me.
"Good to see you Skyler" my breath catches. God only knows what he will do. Tears run down my cheeks as I hold onto Ed for dear life. The sky's are black creating an intimating atmosphere.
"What do you want!" I say. I feel the familiar tingle of death touch in my mind, then Mason runs up behinds us.
"This is a beautiful family, it really is Skyler. And such a beautiful dress" he starts to reach out to touch my dress when we hear the click of a gun behind him. He spins around and Joe, my security guard who was about to shoot James, goes flying backward into the hard ground. I scream. James has an intense power that I had no idea existed in him. How can he ever be stopped now?
"Please." I say. "Stop this madness and tell me what you want." I step forward towards him, Ed reluctantly lets go but stays only millimetres away from me. "Please James. Let's just talk" he grabs me by the throat and lifts me up. When Ed and an army of others try attack he throws them back.
"I want you to suffer."
"I didn't do anything! If you want to be a vampire then find someone else to do it!"
"This isn't just about being a vampire anymore. I'm dead. Dead people can't become vampires. I want something else now. I want everyone to suffer like me. No one can have what they want. Because everyone...." My heart pounds "will be dead"
And just like that, he's gone. He vanishes right before my eyes in a swirl of black clouds and strong wind. Ed, Mason and I are surrounded by people I have never seen before and they are pushing us toward an exit. I try not to lose my footing in the high heels as we get rushed into a building by the mysterious people dressed in black. I don't question them until we are safe inside a small house like building that looks much like the other buildings in Greece except the inside is full of weapons.
"What the hell is going on?" I say. A woman, who doesn't look very old, grabs my arm and says
"We will do the talking soon." I bare my fangs at her and to my surprise she does the same back to me.
