Electra 1 How It Begin - 20 Chapter 20

The meeting was set up for noon the next day. We would meet in the forest so he doesn’t find out where we were hiding. The forest was also the most common portal gateway to the Shop of Doors. It was the name for the place where you think you go through water and into another place. It’s also the easiest ways to get around the realms. We meet up and he came with an attack team. I couldn’t understand why I was only allowed one protector and he was allowed a whole team. He would need it though. The others hid discreetly unlike the attack squad. I walked up to Dare with George and he undid the handcuffs. This surprised me and Vlad took my wrist. He pulled me away before I could start anything. George had different plans and wanted me to stay. I saw a side of him that I never wanted to see again. I knew he was half vampire, he told me when we first met. He never showed me his fangs though. He was too ashamed as they were mostly evil. He showed them to me now. He turned around and looked at me with fangs showing. I was so scared. He looked unstoppable and dangerous. No one could have predicted this. Vlad looked back and saw as well. It was one of the things that they had in common. Neither of them ever showed anyone their fangs. Now they both showed them. Their eyes had changed and they were now red. They both stood face to face growling at each other with me on one side. I didn’t know what to do. Every part of me was saying to run. Except the small part of my brain that cared for them both. It was winning and I stayed. The attack force was coming to aid George and the others came to get me. It was bad. They saw us as a threat and came after us. Vlad shouted at George trying to make him stop. He wouldn’t listen to anyone. He told the team to attack. Loki came for me and dragged me away. We left Vlad had George to argue and fight and the rest tried to protect me. I didn’t ask to be in this position. Who would? If we lost then Dare would get his own way. I would be under his control as the princess and future queen. He was winning. Tommy had a cut on his arm and it had a lot of blood coming out of it. Alex had a cut on his leg and he was limping. John had no blood but he was also limping. Vlad was lost in a fight and Jonathan was following us. “Twin magic.” Loki said.

“What?” I asked.

“Twin magic. The only magic that is powerful enough to defeat whole armies. We could win this. Trust me.” He replied. We had only done twin magic once before. I read about it. If uncontrollable it could destroy a whole realm. I trusted him and we took hands. We closed our eyes and breathed slowly. He said that we needed to decide what we wanted to do. It was a simple knock out spell. It would knock out all our enemies in a 5 mile radios. There was no one for a five mile radios that would feel it so that was good. It was hard to block out the noise from the background. It took a while to be fully concentrated. Then we had to imagine a gas being lifted over all their heads and it happened. We had to control it all so that we could stop it if we needed to. It knocked out everyone we hated. It was harder to control it with two people. We managed though. All the people we hated were now on the floor unconscious. Loki didn’t like Vlad so he was like it to. His would be shorter as only one of us hated him. We thought it would last hours but it lasted minutes. Vlad was up and we were running now. George knew where the hide out was so we couldn’t go back there. We had to choose a new save place to hide. We had five days to find Blades and after that I would give myself up. After the five days it would be his birthday and I was going to get him out before then. The boys were scouting ahead and they found a new cave. It didn’t take long to move everything. Vlad helped us too but I never talked to him. I didn’t want to. I was half scared of him and half of me liked him. I didn’t know what I was supposed to say to him anyway. He was a vampire and I saw his true form today. I saw Georges too. They both scared me half to death. Vlad had got the last of the boxes for the cells. I was unpacking them. “Electra we need to talk.” He said.

“Okay but Loki needs me; got to go.” I replied. I tried to walk off but he was at the door blocking me. He wouldn’t move so I shot a lightning bolt at him. It hit him and knocked him back. I ran away from him and went to Loki. I helped him to sort out the boxes he had. I was going crazy. I wanted to talk to Vlad but I was too scared to even be near him. Loki knew and tried to help me as much as he could. I knew it was hard for him to. Vlad tried to get me alone to talk. He tried everything he could. No matter what Loki was always there to help. However, one time he wasn’t. He went to the shops with the others and I had to stay at the new base with Vlad and Jonathan. He would want to talk but I couldn’t. The boys had been in fights before so why did they pull the fangs out now. Vlad came into my room that we had made. The cave was in a mountain so we knocked down places for rooms. He knocked on the wall and came in. He stood behind me and I didn’t look at him. “Electra can we talk now?” He asked.

“No I’m busy.” I replied.

“Electra I didn’t want you to find me like that. The fangs come with the vampire name. I wouldn’t hurt you.” He said. He had sadness and regret in his voice. “I know you won’t.” I answered and carried on. I wasn’t sure if I could trust him or not. I wanted to trust him but it was hard after he had done. I thought Vlad had come back in but it was George. I was sat down on the bed and he came from behind me and put his hands over my eyes. He said guess who and I tried to scream. He had his hand over my mouth now and was standing in front of me. He wore his black top, jeans and jacket. He also had a com set in his ear. “Get out!” I shouted.

“No we need to talk. What you saw wasn’t me. I don’t know what happened, I lost control.” He said. I hated him but in times of need he would help. He would try to do anything to be better than Vlad. “How could you lose control near Electra? You could have hurt her.” Tommy said. I went over to him and he hugged me. He had hit George where it hurt. “I’ll come back for her. You lot can’t be trusted with her.”

“They’re my family. Next time you come I’ll let Vlad in a room with you.” I threatened. He went and Vlad came into the room.

“He didn’t lose control.” Vlad said. I spent the rest of the day and the next in the room. It was the only way to get peace. Loki came in and helped me to look for Blades. Vlad kept coming in now and then to cheek on me. I couldn’t find him. None of us could. I got really annoyed and shoot a lightning bolt at the wall. By the afternoon it looked like a fire had been there. At the end of the day I had started on a new wall. “What the hell happened?” Alex said as he came in. “I can’t find him. I don’t know what to do.” I said. I didn’t cry. I just felt so angry it hurt. But I don’t know who I was angry at. There were so many people that wanted to use me because of my power. Alex went to get something that might help and George came back. I didn’t hold back this time. I was after a fight and he was there. He was in trouble. I had fire in my hands. “Go now, before I lose control.” I said and he stayed. I warned him so it was his own fault. I throw them at him and it took him by surprise. The boys were at the door now and they wanted to help but Vlad said, “This is Electra’s fight. It’s supposed to be me and her but I changed everything.” They left me to it. I had him pinned against the wall but he used his super speed and turned the tables. He was annoying me now. I had warned him to stay away twice. He brought this upon himself. “I don’t want to hurt you.” He said.

“Only one of us walks out with no deep scars. That’s going to be me.” I shouted angrily. I hated the way he thinks that after what he did I would forgive him. I got away from him and his back was turned. “I don’t want to do this.” He said and faced me again. He had his fangs out. I was scared and shocked. How could he do this? Vlad was at the door and he looked worried. He came over and took my arm and held it up to his mouth. “What are you doing?” I asked sacredly. “Biting you. Then you will be under my control.” He replied. “No you can’t. I’d rather die than spend all my time with you!”

“Don’t worry. Vampires die when they get to much sunlight right. Good job I can control the sun.” Said a voice from behind us. It was a girl and she was flying. She had blonde hair and green eyes. She looked amazing. She aimed at George and he crippled in pain. He went and the girl came and stood in front of me. It was April. I had no idea she had powers. She looked at Vlad and nodded. “What, how?” I said.

“Vlad called me. He said that you needed help.” She said. She always had a voice that made you calm. I felt happy to see her again. At least now I know why she moved to Spain. We had so much catching up to do. We talked for the rest of the day about what had happened over the last few years. “We had to move because my power was growing. My parents were scared so they sent me to my aunties. She has powers like mine but recently she is spending more and more time in Peaceaver.” She said.

“My parents didn’t send me away, they just lied.” I replied. I couldn’t imagine what it was like to be away from your parents. But I didn’t have to. They weren’t around and nor was Blades. She slept in my room that night and the boys were on high alert. It was good to have a girl to talk to. It was annoying when the boys came in whilst we were talking about our boyfriends; especially when I was talking about my latest problem. Vlad walked in when I was talking about him and I didn’t realise until April started to laugh. We both went red and he went. We both burst out laughing when he went. “Don’t choose yet if you can’t decide. Concentrate on what matters at the moment.” She said. I agreed and it was the most sensible thing anyone has said for a while. We went to sleep to think of a new plan. I couldn’t sleep. I tried everything to get to sleep. In the end I went outside to the cave entrance. Vlad was out there too. “Hey, are you OK?” He asked.

“I don’t know. I’m happy but I’m angry and sad because I can’t find Blades.” I replied. It was cold outside and I started to shiver. He came closer to me and put his arms around me. I began to warm up until we were hit. I hit the ground and wondered what was going on. Vlad was next to me. “Stay down.” He said. I listened to him and a plane flew over us. We stayed down for at least five more minutes. We got up and went back in. With his super speed we had put in the new security system in a few minutes. The cave was on lockdown and no one could enter or leave without powerful magic. The next day we tried to reach Blades and we did. He was weak and he was leaching power of our parents. I was leaching power of the others to give to Blades. “What do they want?” I asked.

“They want to talk to you. I won’t tell them where you are.” Blades said. “Tell them.” I replied and he went. I wanted more time but we needed to find out this new threat. We arrived at the old base in the next ten minutes and waited for them. I had Loki and April at my sides with the others ready. A truck pulled up and out came a man I knew. It was commander Obsidian. He had my family. He was lucky. “What do you want?” I shouted.

“We need to talk about an old friend of mine. Derek Dare.” He replied. I nodded and we talked. “He employed me to find out how the royals power work. He told me that there was a local girl that had powers. We wanted to find out how to stop them. I’m sorry for what I did.” He said. I believed him. He told me about what Dare said to him. It was mostly about the different powers and the weakness. He was told to make something that could block out all the powers. George was never under his control and when he kidnapped me he knew that there had to be a way to regain his trust. Jonathan, however, was under his control and it was the only way to get him to agree. “He wanted to tell you but we stopped him.” He said. Obsidian said that he wanted nothing to do with it after the storm disaster and tried to quit. However, Dare wanted answers so he rose the funding and staff. He said sorry to the boys for what they had done and they didn’t do anything. He was forced to do what he did. We all had a common enemy that wanted me. At least now I have my family to help me. But Amy and Bethan were still in danger. They knew about me and now people wanted me dead, they would be in serious danger. I had to find them. George knew about them too because I trusted him and told him. How could I be so stupid? “Amy and Bethan, they’re in danger.” I said. “They know who they are. We have to get them.” I finished. The boys nodded and we went to Bethans house. She was still there and we knocked on the door. She answered and we went to her room. It was just me and Loki that went in. I quickly told her what was happening and told her the plan. The plan was dangerous. We would get Bethan and Amy to stay with us. Only we would tell them that they have been accepted for a special school on a trail bases. They would tell their parents and they would tell the school. We would be able to look after them and I would have more girls around. We made up fake forms that needed signatures and as it was on a trail it would be free. Bethans parents seemed happy enough to let her come with us and so did Amy’s parents. We went back to the cave and I gave them the longer version of what was going on. They were more interested in my love life like normal. I told them my latest dilemma and even they didn’t know what to do. That night I couldn’t sleep again. SO was gone and had agreed to help us. I went outside and no one was out there. I wanted to be alone now. Too much was going on at the moment. There was hardly any time to be alone.
