Inside the Mirror

Ch.16~ Encounters

Solcia POV

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I surprisingly finished my apple and stood up to throw it away. When I stood up, I got pulled into another vision.

It was blurred. I could see green scenery and three people moving with the green scenery. Where they running? I then heard the audio of running footsteps. It wasn't the normal stomp of people running, it was the sound of vampires running, in vampire speed. Are they running at vampire speed? I then saw the greenery around them, flying past them. Are the people Gallen, Mozella, and Waylon? Then I saw all of them running, but I didn't get pulled out of my vision. There had to more to figure out then. Were they hunting? Nothing changed and it got burry for a second. I was wrong. I asked the question that I dreaded asking, but had a good feeling it was the right question. Are they coming to the Anthony's house? My vision started zooming out of the view I was looking at and I saw the forest that surrounded the house we were all in -The Anthony's house. How far away are they? An audio came on that said "They will be here in about 10 minutes. They will meet you in your backyard. Watch your head." The audio started going out when it told me to watch my head, as if it wasn't supposed to say that. Was Gallen planning to punch me? I was already out of my vision. I saw all the Anthonys looking at me.

"What did you see Sol?" Mason asked me worriedly.

"We have to get Mackenzie out of here or keep her in her room and cover up the windows. Gallen, Mozella, and Waylon are on their way here. They will be here in 10 minutes." As soon as I said that, Alicia got up and called for Mackenzie. Mackenzie came running in.

"Hi! What's up?" Mackenzie asked.

"Nothing much. We have to do some cleaning downstairs and you have to stay in your room until we tell you to come out because of the strong chemicals. Okay?" Wow, if I didn't know what was going on, I would have believed Alicia.

"Okay, I'll go up to my room" Once she said that, she started going up to her room

"Make sure to lock your door! I don't want the door to accidentally open!" Alicia called to her.

"Okay!" Was all she said before we heard the door close. Thankfully, her room window didn't show the backyard, only the front.

"Sol, what exactly did you see?" Jamel asked me.

"I saw the three of them running though the forest. I asked when they would be here and a voice replied 'They will be there in 10 minutes in your back yard.'" I told him. I didn't bother to tell him that the voice said to watch out for my head.

"Let's get ready to meet them then." He said. We all headed towards the backyard. "Everyone, you know your position. Sol, stay behind everybody." Jamel said. I was not going to stay at the back and look weak, because I'm not!

"No, I can stay in the front. It's my parents, and I'm no coward. I can face them head on." I said. Maybe if I stayed in the back, I could think though.

"Sol, they are vampires. They have super speed and strength. Just stay near the back, please." Jamel said, trying to reason with me.

"Okay." I said and went towards the back, next to Mason and behind Victor and Hannah. we were set up in a 2x3 array. Two people by row, three people by column. The Anthonys got into a defensive crouch, while I just stood there. My vision said to watch for my head. I expect Gallen to do most of the talking and be in the front, ready to punch me if I went up. I wasn't going to let him think I was weak, so I would go up to the front. He would think I was stupid and came without a plan, but I have one. When I think he would punch my head, I would duck to my head to the left. When his fist is in the spot where my head was, I would trip him, because if he didn't feel his fist against skin, he might try to trip me so I wouldn't go anywhere. When he fell, I would go in the middle of all the Anthony's, so he could get me so quickly. If I stayed were I was when he fell, he would still reach out for my foot. I would do it all in one swift motion, he wouldn't know what hit him! I then heard the rustle of leaves from the edge of the forest and saw them all come out.

"Why hello there! You all must be the vampires in this area! How are you?" Gallen said, trying to be friendly. He spotted me and he started having a look of demand in his eyes.

"We are good. As you see, your presence is not very welcome here. Can you please leave here for good?" Jamel said surprisingly calm.

"I will, as soon as I get the redhead back there." He said, with a smug grin on his face. I wanted to slap that grin right of his face.

"Well, she isn't going anywhere. She is with us now." Jamel said calmly. I guess Jamel doesn't want to start a fight, but will fight if he has to.

"What happened? Are you a coward Sol? Hiding behind a bunch of vampires for protection?" He taunted me. While he was saying that, I went al the way to the front, ready to react. I could feel the gazes on my back. The gaze from the Anthonys that said 'What are you doing?' I didn't care. I face people head on, and I certainly wasn't afraid of him.

"I don't know who you are talking about. Would a coward come and face you head on like I am?" I questioned him, with a straight, tall back and strength in my voice. I knew I could be strong, but I sounded unstoppable! I was a little scared of myself. I didn't let it show though.

"Are you brave? No. Foolish? Yes." He said. I wasn't going to let him falter my strength. You couldn't even tell I paid attention to that.

"I think you are talking about yourself." I said, remaining col and collected.

"Am I really? It is quite foolish for a human to come step in front of a vampire who could kill her in a second. Who is much stronger than you will ever be." When he said that, I felt anger rush through my veins, but I didn't show it on my face. I repeated the same thing in my head over and over. I am stronger than him. I am way stronger than him. He doesn't have an idea of how strong I am.

"And it's quite foolish for a vampire to kill humans because he is to chicken to fight something more relative to him." I responded in a smug attitude.

He let his chill down though, and looked as if he wanted to kill me. Now was the time he would strike. I ducked out of the way and saw he was in a different position. I didn't bother to look what position he was in, I just went on with my plan. I felt his leg go down when I tripped him and went in between all of the Anthony's. They all surrounded me. I looked and saw Gallen on the ground, looking enraged. I wanted to laugh, but now was not the time. He got up and looked at me resentfully. I'm happy looks don't kill.

"How did you do that?" He questioned, seeming, scared? Worried? I couldn't really tell. I could tell that he was astonished and furious. Not a good combination.

"I told you, I'm not foolish. I'm prepared." When I said that, he somehow managed to intensify his rage. He lunged at me. I felt Mason tense behind me and saw that Jamel and Alicia had him, and Victor grabbed Waylon while Hannah and Mason grabbed Mozella. I heard the snaps of bones and turned away. When I looked back, I saw three bodies with no heads and three heads with no bodies.
