Are you going out? Deborah asks her fiancee Stephen Aulden, he smiles and kisses her forehead. Four more days to go and they will be married. It was normal for a Facade and a Healer to come together and create a family. He was also lucky--no blessed, to find such a sweet loving woman like Deborah Astromer; Healers were hard to find, because they were very human in every corner except for their powers to heal and play with memories. I don't think humans do that.
Don't go to war Stephen, please, I...don't want to lose you. Your job is so dangerous and unusual...
Deb, just three more days and I'll leave my post. I promise. The Elders need me to protect something very important to us Facades.
Deborah watched him run like the wind. He was powerful but at the back of her mind, there is another Facade who exceeds his strength...ten times greater. She touches her belly and coos the little angel that is living inside of her. She couldn't bear to tell him that he would be a father.
Stephen rushed to the Elder's Musuem/Secret Coven, there he met the 4 Elders: Wellstone, Eavesden, Herion, and Kleurion. He bowed to them , it was traditional to treat them with royalty
"Ah Aulden, my you've grown. You remind me of your brave father Emperon, the bravest of the Brave" Eavesden says "I am glad that you have come and lent us your hand"
"I am grateful that you see me as the reflection of my father. His legacy still lives on" he replies
His eyes met with Wellstone , the Elder known as the GREAT CALM.. his expression is always gentle yet his power...dark and mysterious. He sees Eavesden, the WANDERING WIND, Herion, the BREATHING FIRE and Kleurion, the MISUNDERSTOOD. They were strange powerful Elders whose lives were hidden from us...yet we trust them? Logic for us Facades seemed unecessary.
Stephen entered the room, it was huge and white, he saw paintings of the old. He seemed mesmerized by the big chandelier at the top of the big room. It was so majestic, it seemed that the crystals hanging , were dancing in unison. His eyes landed on another painting, a woman with long scarlet hair and eyes so blue that it would pierce the hearts of the ones who would stare at it. She was beautiful yet he noticed that she wasn\t smiling, it was more like...in the verge of tears. Her expression was soft yet painful, mere words wouldn't do it justice.
"She seems to be handing over her tears.." a voice behind him spoke
He turned and saw a lady, dressed in a nightgown which revealed a bit of bare skin in front and her luxurious dark brown hair was down yet her expression was one tale to tell. She moves forward, so graceful and so delicate, you can tell that her eyes were tired but there is still a free spirit inside her. Her hazel brown eyes shifted towards mine
"Are you the keeper of AVNAR?" she asks in a monotonous tone
"Yes, my name is Aulden, the keeper of the most highly prized AVNAR and you are?"
"You can call me Elianna" her hazel eyes shifted back on the painting.
MAY.
"I don't understand...why would Elianna kill Debra's lover?" I exasperated
"Stephen--he was a brave and a heroic Facade who was nominated to Keeper of the AVNAR. Naturally, as the one who supposedly wanted to get her hands on the AVNAR, she will destroy anyone who stands in her way"
"It doesn't seem right, I don't think Elianna would do that"
"She would"
Nuriel walks closer to her, his eyes mine. Oh I swear to the heavens above I wanted to melt, how can he make me feel this way? All the butterflies are about to explode inside my stomach. I immediately took a step back "W-we should get going, I-I need to um....look around for other vampires" I timidly rushed out of his way. Was I being obvious? No no I can't have feelings for him. I can't trust him because I'm afraid of him. I found myself inside the empty cafeteria room, I tried to pick up a scent--a vampire scent. Suddenly my stomach complained. Really? I was starving and I knew what I wanted. I was disgusted to the thought of having a nasty vampire for my last meal, although it's been a while. It was like wanting to go eat chicken because you've been eating vegetables for a long time. Human food, even chicken, tasted like vegetables. I heard footsteps coming towards me, I silently hid at the corner and suddenly I heard Debra's voice
"Let me go! I'll kill you!" she screamed
the guy holding her with a tattoo on his left arm bore his fangs at her and made a hissing sound "Stay, human" he said breathily "We wait for friend Facade"
"You mean May? You crazy? You hurt her and I'll make sure those ugly dislocated teeth of yours taste my fists" she snapped at him " Don't drag my friend into this"
Suddenly a red headed girl wearing a posh silver jacket wjith outrageously 5 inch boots came in and gently lifted Debra from her feet. She was strong I could feel it, her scent was not of any vampire. This one had a royal bloodline.
"Such a brave young woman, not being afraid of bloodsucking creatures like us. I'm not surprise though, you aren't as ordinary. It must be sad to be kept here by yourself." she smirked
without hesitation I ran and pushed tattoo man out of the way, to my surprise he was thrown far enough to be out of my way. I tried to punch the silver Gaga but she blocked my attacks with some sort of magnetic field. I landed on my back but managed to get back up in a blink of an eye
"Impressive" she wiped the blood off her lip "You managed to cut through my defenses, tis but a scratch" she says with a wink
"May!" Debra cried, she tugged onto my oversize jacket "What the %@# are you doing here?"
"So this is the girl who severed and killed my neophyte followers, a puny Facade" she laughs
Ah so she doesn't know my real identity, oh good, meaning this Silver Gaga isn't aware of what I am capable of doing. Her superpowers didn't disturb me and I was awfully hungry, I glanced at Debra, she was bitten by that woman but it wasn't too late. I examined her wound, it was fresh so it meant she still hand time before she turns into this beast I hate and desire at the same time. My eyes burned and I felt my teeth numbing, I glanced at my hand, they were trembling with hunger
"Debra" I tried to keep my composure while trying not to look at her
"What's wrong May? Why are you shivering?" Debra looked concerned
"No matter what happens don't turn back and look at me, do you unders-stand-d?" crap crap!
"Okay I understand, what do you want me to do?"
"Run fast. Very fast".
