The Scion

The Fog

It was cold but then again it was always cold here , Helena thought to herself . She walked down the path she knew so well that she could text and walk without ever missing a step .

She had just turned the corner that led to the park path that she took everyday. She was totally oblivious of the person that was following her. She checked her text messages and saw one from her roommate, Evelyn,  she wanted to tell Helena that she was going to come home late and this made Helena happy, she was finally able to have a night alone. She pocketed her phone and continued walking. It took her a few minutes before she felt that she wasn't alone and she looked behind her and there was no one. "It's a beautiful night is it not?" A male voice asked from beside her and made her jump.  She looked to her side but there was nothing once more, she increased her walking pace,  "That won't get you too far you know, "a female voice whispered but loud enough that Helena heard it. This got to her and Helena started running, she didn't get too far before she fell, Fucking stilettos ,she cursed in her heart.  She quickly removed the stilettos and dropped her handbag and started running.

"Track team '93-'94 I'm assuming?" The male voice asked once more but it was hard to pinpoint where it was coming from.  She turned to look if anyone was following her and saw that there  was no one but when she turned to face the front a obstacle was suddenly in front of her and she hurtled straight into it.  It was painful but worse as she fell backwards to the ground .

"Watch where you are going Hel, "The voice spoke from where she had just been stopped. A man now stood before her and he was wearing a grey trench coat and had a cigar his mouth.  Helena started crawling backwards but met something behind her that felt oddly like legs,"Where to deary? "A woman's voice asked from above. 

"Let's stop with the games, "the man said and Helena was suddenly rising to her feet then off her feet.  She looked at the man and saw that he had a finger pointed at her that seemed to raise her up. When she was a few feet off the ground the man let his finger fall and said ,"Bind. " Helena then felt as if an invisible rope was being tied around her arms and legs. "Please don't kill me! Please I'll give you anything! " She screamed to which the man answered ,"Hush!" And she was rendered mute.  While Helena floated in the air the woman began to chalk a circle below her and drew a few symbols that Helena was sure she seen in pictures of Stonehenge.

"All done, Mykel, "she told the man who went on to ash his cigar in his palm and pocket it."I told you that it is not healthy to do that but you still refuse to listen," She told the man but he ignored her and removed his trench coat to reveal a muscular body that was tattooed all over .

As soon as he began to hum Helena knew that she was in trouble . She tried with all her strength to scream but nothing came out of her mouth. The man, Mykel, continued to hum but was also able ,by some magic,to also speak words. Helena was helplessly floating in mid air wriggling when a spark flew up from the circle causing the woman to squeal with excitement. This new development made her stop her wriggling and give up all attempts to fight.

"Smart of you,"Mykel said ,"Its useless to fight." As he finished these words a flame burned along the edge of the circle and the symbols the woman had drawn also caught on fire.Helena looked at Mykel pleadingly and he smiled. The flames suddenly rose up several feet surrounding her. The fire did not burn her or even produce heat but she felt something draw the energy from her body and she suddenly lost all senses .

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

The young woman that they had found was exactly what Mykel had hoped for. She was perfect for what he needed and the way she was terrified by him when he had removed his coat had sent a ripple through his body, she was perfect .

The process was quite simple as soon as the flame had covered her and bent her to his will it would be over. He looked over at Natasha whose smiling face was lit up by the flames and back at where the girl had been floating. It took a few more seconds and the flames died out entirely. Mykel proceeded to bring the girl to the ground and she crumpled up like a person who has been knocked out.  He knelt beside her ,raised her head and spoke magical words to wake her. 

Helena's eyes slowly opened and she looked at him and after a few seconds smiled. Mykel smiled back and raised her to her feet. At first she couldn't stand then she finally got her balance back and looked at Mykel, "What do you wish for my lord? I live to serve you and make you happy, "Helena said getting another smile from Mykel and a squeal from Natasha. Mykel was about to speak when a jogging couple came close to them.The couple gave the three of them a side glance and continued on their way. 

Mykel bent closer to Helena's ear and whispered, "Go and kill those two and make sure they scream for dear life. " Helena looked him in the face and smiled. In the blink of an eye she was gone and all that could be heard was the patter of bare feet on tar moving further away.  Mykel took out his cigar and lit it with his finger flame,  he puffed once and a scream rang in the night air, a second puff and another scream.  He smiled and blew out the smoke which was accompanied by a final blood curdling scream.

He turned to Natasha who was beaming up at the moon like a lunatic. The patter of feet returned but this time it was getting closer. In the night light Mykel saw Helena running back to him and when she finally stopped in front of him he could see the blood that stained her clothes and some blood splatters on her face.  Mykel took her face in his free hand and brought her lips close to his and he could hear her heart pumping with the adrenaline and he smiled before closing the distance between their lips.  The taste of blood that was on her lips tasted amazing as it mingled with her lipstick. The police siren made him break the kiss to which Helena whimpered,"We must leave now, "He told her . Natasha was no longer looking at the moon but at him with a look that seemed to hold jealousy.  He took Helena's hand and spoke to Natasha, "We go back to the Manor until we need to proceed with our orders. " She nodded and disappeared into a puff of smoke that was blown away by a wind. Mykel looked at Helena and with that they also disappeared into a puff of smoke.
