James' (Informal) P.O.V

Why did I do that. I know why, Teenage Hormones + Super-Hot Vampire Girlfriend = One Extremely Horny Teenage Boy. I can't  seem to mistake the feeling of new-found maturity I have, but then that gets crushed by the chance of Teenage parenthood. FOREVER.

I couldn't get my mind off Rachel and the Problem, which caused my first day of training to be nothing but getting sliced and bruised by Parker. It also didn't help that Parker kept eyeing up Rachel during our Defense Training, which instantly made me think we were in Offense training causing me to punch him around his stupid smug face.

When I finally manged to knock Parker out I decided to leave, ignoring Rachel and walking straight for  the Amphitheater to meet with that strange voice that told me too meet them there. It was a surprisingly long walk to the Theater, I hadn't noticed that because I was trying to listen to Lilliana.

When I finally arrived there i sat in the seating area which looked like a set of stairs with 8 tall steps that arced around the stage in a semicircle. I waited there until it was midnight (3 hours) just thinking about what I could do to help Rachel, support her. Her family was wealthy enough to take care of 1 other Vampire or Half-Vampire or Quarter Vampire but they were already taking care of me, so the Baby and the Thorn's would be financially screwed . How messed up was this? My Girlfriend may not even be pregnant and I'm worried about what freaking species our child will be and if I have to disown myself for the benefit of the baby, and the more I thought about it, the more I realised how much would give up for Rachel and the Baby. 

I began to make myself promise that I wouldn't do what my father did to me, and that I would protect her like I should have protected Annie. I still blamed myself for Annie's death, I could see perfectly well under-water without goggles, I was just being awkward.

When the hooded figure appeared in the Entrance archway (5 minutes late might I add) they seemed pre-occupied. I always seemed to be the one who is always on the spot, so I took my chance and rapidly climbed up the ladder on stage left and stood on the walkway near the top of the stage. I then proceeded to stage right and grasped the top of the crimson red curtain, jumped onto it and used one of my hands to wrap the curtain around me.

Just then I felt that burning sensation again, only it was weaker, like they were using it to search for me. I felt my mind open slightly, I wasn't having them find me that easily so I concentrated, hard and I could feel my mind expand, but the new space didn't belong to me, and it was already full of memories and thoughts that weren't mine. It took me a while to realise it, but I was in the hooded figure's head. I wanted to have some fun, so I did.

Hooded Figure's (Formal) P.O.V

Whilst i was doing a sweep through the newcomer's mind i got cut off, he shut me out. Preposterous, I thought so I tried again. I couldn't even find his mind this time, there wasn't even a trace or a thought, just nothing, like I was alone.

I walked onto the stage attempting another search, but as I reached center-stage I heard an ear shattering, ringing noise causing me to scream, but no noise came out. We were always told by the council that only people who had been trained the council themselves could succesfuly carry out thought-hacking, so we could leave our minds open as much as we liked, they were wrong, and now he was in my mind and he was doing more than just thought-hacking. I didn't even know what he was doing but it was much worse.

A voice emoted from inside my head. 

"Ooh, not so tough now are we? Im going to have some fun, lets what happens when I do this..."

Just then I felt my throat swell, blocking out the ability to breathe almost entirely. I was being strangled. Not by hands but by his mind. I began to feel myself being lifted up by my neck. I was levetating about 5 feet of the ground.

"You need to tell me what you know, or I will close your airways entirely. I know it wont kill you, you dont even need to breathe, but its enjoyable to see you squirm."

Just then it all stopped. The strangling, the questions, the voice. All I heard was a thud. I slowly floated back down to ground level and rushed over to stage-right and shifted the curtain over to see James, sobbing curled up in a ball, rocking back and forth. Between gasps for air I could hear him apologizing to me, he just was't looking at me. he was afraid to move incase his mind attacked me again.

I sat there with him until he felt comfortable enough to move and by that time it was almost dawn.

"I'm sorry for what I did. I don't even know what happened. I just saw me and Rachel running through a meadow in the snow towards some tall trees with a tall black-hooded figure with wings that resembled an angels. I think it was death, he couldn't seem to catch us. It was like being in a nightmare but it never had a bad ending. Just us running through a serene forest, and the smell of salt coming from the sea, whilst being chased by the road not taken."

"You need to be trained James. You have a gift, I sensed it when we were inside your head, I didn't know what it was , so I called you here so I could find out what it was by casting part of my mind inside of yours, it turns out I didn't need to. You can't just let your mind go untamed though, you could hurt someone."

He nodded in agreement.

"When do I start? You know the training."

"I'm pulling you out of trials training and I will personally train you, meet me here at 11:00 am. With the correct training you might not ever need to fight again, maybe.Now go rest"

"Okay, i'm pleased by that but i've just got to know, what is your flipping name?"

"It's Ellena."

"Well Ellena, I have just got to take care of something before I sleep. Goodbye."

He flashes me a smile and then heads towards the staff huts. What is he doing?
