Waiting

Lisbeth’s POV


I scaled the Qwest building, forty stories above the ground. The cold air whipped me in the face and the lightening cracking in the sky like a loud whip. My heart ached as the adrenaline was coming down. I had to keep running; the mutts were on my tail.
‘Don’t look down,’ I said to myself,
I’m dead anyway, so the fall wouldn’t matter. I finally reached the top with the sky crying its rainy sorrow on me, the mood fit perfectly because now I was officially trapped, they would be up at any moment and I had to come up with something fast before they were to tear me to shreds.

The cable antenna! I broke it off its bolts and held it close to me like a bo staff. I could feel the deep rumble of their growls behind me. I turned slowly to face them; they’re mounted on their hind legs, their fur sopping from the rain, standing nearly eight feet.

“Nowhere to run, little leech,” Gabriel snarled,
“Any last words?” Demetrius asked, I glanced at the lightening getting closer to us.
“Yeah,” I smirked, “fetch boy!” I threw the metal antenna perfectly, piercing Demetrius’ heart; the lightning struck the rod in his chest. His fur was charred and I could smell his flesh burning. I couldn’t hear his heart beat anymore, only Gabriel’s.
“D-Demetrius,” he shuddered, “Demetrius!” He howled loudly into the night sky storm, echoing throughout the city. I knew this wasn’t over, he was gathering his gang. He tossed Demetrius over his shoulder and looked back at me with his glowing yellow eye, “this is far from over,” he growled. He jumped off the ledge and I was again, alone.



Abigail’s POV


The boys were safe in our house; I put up a sacred barrier around the perimeter to throw the Francesco boys off our scent.
“You’re a witch,” Jinxx whispered, holding Sammi in his arms,
“Yeah,” I said softly,
“You’re a real witch!” he shouted louder,
“Jeremy,” Sammi scolded him,
“No, its ok, Sammi…I know you have many questions,”
“Uh, yeah!” Projected CC,
“Like what were those monsters in the hibachi?” asked Jake,
“Those were the Francesco Twins, they’re lycans and head officials of their own gang in the city, Lisbeth’s clan and the Francesco family have been mortal enemies since the dawn of civilization,”
“What did they want?” Asked Andy,
“They want me,” I gulped hard,
“Why?” proceeded Andy,
“They want revenge,” I began, “that night when we came to your show, Demetrius, the Eldest of the current remaining Francesco family was, I assume, hunting in Lisbeth’s part of the city. The two families in the beginning agreed to divide territories on a first come, first serve basis and that no other of their clan shall invade another’s rightful territory; Lisbeth was furious and he came to her anguish to stoke her fire a little more; we were in the presence of mere mortals, if he were to have morphed in that alley way, we would probably be dead right now, I had to stop him!”
“How does all this tie with you?” Ashley asked,
“There’s a treaty between the two houses, clearing stating that since their own species is great in their own numbers, there should be no need for an outside alliance of another species, in other words, Lisbeth’s kind is strong…so they don’t need a witch to help her, it would be against the ancient laws to help an already dominate force; the punishment for such deed is immediate extermination of the outside alliance,” I began to choke on my tears, “I’m already the last of my kind,”
Sammi broke from Jinxx who seemed to not want to let her go, she shrugged him off and approached me, “I’m so sorry,” she embraced me tightly.
“What’s going to happen to us?” CC asked,
“I don’t know,” I sobbed, “but I promise we’ll keep you safe here, until we can come to an agreement,”
“We can’t just stay here though! We have tour! And families and friends!” Ashley shouted,
“You and everyone else are mortals,” I pointed, “you know too much and for that I should kill you but I refuse, be grateful!” I turned around and stormed off to my upstairs.



Andy’s POV


I sat on the couch with the others in the dim lit room, “please,” approached Avira, “make yourself at home, I’ll make some tea,” she smiled softly.
“Thank you,” I replied,
“So how do you tie into this, Avira?” Asked Sammi,
“Funny you should ask,” she turned facing us, she lifted her hand and removed a large ruby encrusted ring off her finger, within seconds, she was a whisp of air. We could see her but we could also see right through her!
“Surprise,” she blushed,
CC stood up and reached his hand out to stroke her hair, but his hand went right through her head, she giggled, “that tickles!”
“You’re a ghost,” CC said,
“Yes,”
“Does that mean you’re…”
“Dead?” I interrupted, “yes, it does,”
“How long have you been dead?” asked Sammi,
“Since 1979,” I floated to the kitchen to make the tea,
“What happened,” she continued, “if you don’t mind me asking that is,”
“Not at all,” I put the tea kettle on the stove,
“It was dark…” I began, “I was alone and I was on my way to a very bad part of the city; I was a heroin addict at the time and I was in desperate need of another high, so…I arrived at my destination and I went inside…but I never came out,”
“Did you over dose?” asked Ashley,
“I can’t remember,” I sighed, “but each night…I have little dreams…bits and pieces of my past, sometimes I think it’s my memory of that night coming back,”
BAM! The door flew open and Lisbeth collapsed onto the floor, hair sopping wet and clothes drenched from the rain,
“Lisbeth!” Avira floated to her,
“Avira,” she sighed as she closed her eyes,
“Abby!” Avira cried out, “boys, set her on the couch please; Sammi, my ring!” Sammi retrieved her ring and Avira was solid again, Abby ran down stairs to Lisbeth’s side,
“Darling, what happened to you?” she asked coddling her face,
“One,” she gasped,
“One what?” I asked,
“I killed one of them…” she closed her eyes and lulled back into a deep slumber,
“Avira, fridge!” Abby demanded, she ran to the fridge and got a pouch of blood. I watched her as she poured it into a cup, I could see her hands shaking in fear. Then, popping it into the microwave for a few seconds and quickly giving it to Abby with a turkey baster.
“Which one of you is the strongest?” Abby asked, no one answered, “well,” Abby began, “you’re going to need to decide because once this blood is in her, she will become very hostile; somebody needs to hold her down,”
“I’ll do it,” I volunteered,
“Dude, what if she kills you?” Ashley interjected,
“That’s a risk I’ll take then,” I said taking off my jacket, I sat on her waist, holding her hands at her sides, ready for whatever would come at me. This was weird for me, just looking at her. I was on top of a dead person for crying out loud!
“Avira, hold her head back so the blood can go down more easily,” she held her head, her hands shaking slightly, “Oh Lisbeth,” she cried softly, “No tears,” Abby said, “she’ll be fine,” she began squeezing the blood down her throat little by little, after five shots, her fingers began to twitch and her eyes fluttered open; the blue iris’s I once knew were black and even cold. “Lisbeth,” Abby whispered; Lisbeth turned her head slightly, looking at her with blood stained lips and mindless eyes, like she didn’t know who anyone was. She bared her fangs and began to jolt her body and screech; her veins turning blue as the blood returned to her body.
“Lisbeth, stop!” I shouted, holding her arms down, suddenly Lisbeth stopped and looked at me for a long time, breathing heavily, before the blacks of her iris’s faded to a pale blue and she fell back into her sleep. “I’ll carry her to her coffin,” Abby said picking her up as I got off her. The room lay very still; everybody was paralyzed with racing thoughts, not knowing what to think or what they should do.
There was nothing any of us could do until the Francesco gang decided to cooperate. We had to just wait it out.
