over the centuries

34

I stood there with my suit case waiting on michel and the others. Checking my watch it was 7:00 pm when the horn sounded outside and Michels sweet voice whispered in my mind that he was here.
"Are you ready?" He asked into my mind
"Ready as ever" I replied taking my suit case in hand and making my way down the stair well out to his car.
I had decided I would move, after my last incounter with Aaron, it left me with no choice. Having to break my renters contract, I could now afford to lose my deposit. It beat seeing Aaron again after I don't pay his debts. Michel already promised to help me move. I got in his car, and we set off back to Europe for the vampire ball.
The flight was easy, the pair renting a private jet again, I laid back in my comfortable seating and watched the clouds roll by. Michel came over to me with a drink in hand. I took it happily and sipped at the champagne.
"Comfortable?" He asked eye brow raised.
"Very" I said into my glass, taking another large mouth full.
"Were about to face a hard of demons are you ready for this?" He asked
I held the book firmly in my grasp, going over again the allotted hiding place were I'd be safe: under the kitchen cupboards. I wondered if I'd be able to save some other humans there along side myself in the effort.
"I'm ready" I said assured of myself
"Good" He said
"Well I for one am not sure of myself" migel said "How many of our brothers are going to fall tomorrow night? How many reset? This will be a night in vampire history."
"Stop your bitching migel it'll be fine" said Adam
"Well I for one hope you get reset adam" migel said in his British accent.
"Me too" said Elise with a smirk on her face.
"Second that" I said raising a hand and Adam glared at me. I smirked.
"Whats reset?" Came Emily's soft voice
"Nothing to worry about" said Truman
I laid back in my comfortable seat and tried to close my eyes to the bickering vampires. Migel ruffling Adam's hair again, Adam shooed his hand away.
"Ignore them" Michel whispered at me
"Already on it" I said pulling my sleeping mask down. I saw michels smirk before my eyes were covered, his devilish grin sending shivers down my spine.

--------------------

Pulling the dress from its luxiousious box, I held it up to my frame one more time. Dancing around as it swirled around me I watched myself I the full length mirror. My room was luxurious, being twice the size of my studio alone, it had plenty of space for my dancing. Cream colored the walls with white drapings and flowers prints everywhere it was a girl's fantasy. I feel back on my kind size canopy bed and let out a girlish giggle. I didn't know why I was so excited, it was going to be a massacre today but the thought of dancing with michel dressed up was exhilarating. I would be well hidden away before they came. Rechecking the book they'd arrive at midnight. Like Cinderella the ball would end when the clock struck, and the screams would begin.
Slipping on my gown I gingerly tiptoed around the room, now feeling it sway on my own body I twirled my hips. I was like a school girl playing dress up, but I was a lady and like a lady I went to the vanity and began to put on my hot red lipstick, puckering my lips when I was finished.
A knock came at the door, it was Michel I was sure, but when I opened the door it revealed Adam instead. He quickly made his way inside and I wondered what he wanted.
"What a surprise" I said genuinely so.
"You look adequate" He said "it's true what they say about clothes making a person"
I blinked too slow at his insult. My eyes conveying my annoyance.
"What do you want?" I asked curtly
"Save michel" He breathed out "with what ever witches power you process save him."
"And not you?" I asked curiously
"No" he said "no need"
How very cocky of him. I would feel angry but the sentiment was still felt, and my heart went out to michel. I would save him. If I could, but the book mentioned no need for me to do so.
"Ok" I said
Adam looked flustered then, as of not sure what to do with himself he went over to pick up one of my lipsticks, I watched him hesitantly.
"Wanting to get pretty for elise?" I asked
His face scrunched up, my insult hit. He tossed the lip stick back down.
"That's none of your buisness" He said
"It's not" I said "Now get out unless you have something more to say"
Adam was at the door in a second, holding the door handle, he looked back at me one more time, before making to leave.
I sat on the bed then, thinking of the strange encounter when another knock came at the door.
"Come in" I said
This time it was Michel who entered and my heart skipped a beat at his handsome Visage. He was wearing a suite, the fine material suited him. His dashing blue eyes standing out against the black dress jacket. My eyes trailed down to the whip fashioned at his side, the leather gleaming in the light.
"Ready to go?" He asked
"Yes" I said.
"You'll be the prettiest girl there" He whispered in my mind and I blushed.
"You Sr. Are no stranger to flattery" I mentally shot back and he let out a laugh.
"I have something for you" He said, pulling a dagger from his jacket, it had a holster connected to it. He pulled up my skirts then and began fastening it to my leg.
"I hope you won't need it. But it's better to be safe then sorry as they say" He said as I stood up.
He held out an arm and I took it, letting him lead me out of the house and down to the car. There was a limo waiting, the hum of the engine letting me know it was already ready for our departure. When michel opened the door I saw half the aunterage waiting inside. The other already having gone ahead, I entered, sitting down next to Roy. He looked dashing as well, in his blood red shirt and black tie.
"You look lovely" He said to me.
"You as well" I said with a smile.
The car took off the moment michel slammed the door shut, and we were on our way. I watched the country side fly by me, as we swirved down the roads, the birds chirping outside the only sound.
"Well don't everyone look so down. It's like we're on our way to a funeral" Elise said
"Were about to go into battle" Michel interjected
"And we can still have a good time" She countered
"I for one am excited" I said and raised a glass of champagne, tapping it to Roy's.
"Same" He said with a smile.
We rolled up to another Manson, surrounded by country side it was really more of an old manner. It's huge pillars seeming to hold up its domineering frame. There were several cars rolling in and dropping off guests along side our own, we waited in a line to be dropped off.
"Battle plan?" Elise asked
"Burn every demon that comes along side me." Michel growled out
"Same here" Elise said
"You can burn them?" I asked
"We have a bit of magic" Michel said
"What kind of magic?" I asked peering out the window and watching the finely dressed guests make there way inside.
"Hells flame" Elise and Michel said together.
"Siblings tend to have the same gifts" Roy interjected
My eye brows raised at the news. Why had I never heard of this?"
"Whats Adam's, Truman's and migels?" I asked
"Adam has several powers. One of the gifts of being born alone he's probably the strongest vampire besides the council members." Elise said
My head swiveled to the side, wondering if that was why he sounded so cocky in my room with me.
"And truman and migel?" I asked
"They have to power of void magic" Michel said
"They can send your body parts to another dimension" Elise said
"It's pretty convenient when you can just send demons back to hell" Michel said
"Can they teliport?" I asked in wonder
"Yes but not frequently. Though they will be able to now after the blood ritual." Elise said.
Roy put a hand on elises leg, comforting the vampire, she squeezed it back.
"What were saying is don't worry too much about us" Elise said "well be fine"
