My cup smashed to the floor as coffee poured everywhere as I shot back as fast as I could until my back hit the fridge. The door swung open so hard that all the glass shattered against the wall. He stood at my door, a tall man with dark hair and piercing brown eyes. A long black leather coat billowing at his ankles from the harsh winds.
“Oops I didn’t mean to open it that hard.” He said
“What do you want” I managed to stutter.
“Keira, we have something very important to talk about, but right now is not that time and this is definitely not the right place, we need to go somewhere safe now”.
“I’m not going anywhere with you, I don’t know who you are”. I reply
“You are of great importance, I need to ask, have you been having any dreams in these past few weeks, dreams of horrible creatures?”
“H..ho...how did you know about that? I haven’t told anybody about them” I stammered.
“I know because these are not dreams Keira, they are truly happening and you having these dreams confirms that you are the person that we have been looking for”.
“ A force of evil has been awoken and these events that you are seeing, will not only increase but they will get much more dire. If we do nothing and allow it to carry on happening then the world as we know it will cease to be. It has been foretold that these events would happen and that when it did there would be one person and one person alone that could stop it, and that person is you Keira”.
I burst out laughing “ I think you have been taking some crazy pills, if I’m the only hope the world has got we are screwed”. I was saying this while thinking I hope he is just crazy and not some psycho that has come to kill me.
I carried on laughing, he just stared at me with a look of disgust and anger on his face.
I stopped laughing “why should I believe what you are saying? How can these dreams really be happening when creatures like that don’t even exist!”
He moved so fast across the kitchen that he was a blur and when he stopped in front of me he now had bright red eyes and long pointy teeth bared at me. I stumbled backwards, suddenly afraid again.
“I am Asher Evans. I am a vampire and I have been for many many years”. He growled.
“So tell me now that creatures like that do not exist.”
I didn’t know what to say or what to do. The trembling carried on throughout my body. His face returned to normal.
“I am truly sorry for scaring you, but the time has come and we do not have the time or luxury to ease you into this situation, we need you to learn quickly”.
“What do you.., I mean what am I supposed to do?”
“I mean this can’t be real, I’m just tired and this is just crazy me, making these things up. I’ll wake up and I will be safe in my bed”.
“ I assure you that this is all real and you will not wake from it”.
“ we need to go before they have a chance to find you too”. He carried on talking, but I wasn’t paying any attention to him now. I had to try and get my head around something that would change my life forever.
“Keira..., Keira..., Keira are you listening to me? he said “pack a bag we have to go now.”
“ How do you know i'm the right person?”
“ Do you have a scar the shape of a bow and arrow?”
My face paled and I answered
“ Yes I got it the night my Mum and Dad died in the car accident.” tears creeping into my eyes remembering that terrible night.
“ You were born on the right day, you have the scar and you have no parents and now you are having the dreams it just confirms that you are the right person.”
I went to my bedroom not to specifically pack a bag as I didn’t know what to believe anymore and if I could trust him, but as a chance to be by myself for a minute so that I could think. I decided to grab my pink duffle bag from under my bed and start adding a few clothes to it and other essentials, making sure that I packed my Mom's locket the one she wore on the night she had died. It had a picture of me and my Mum on one side and me and my Dad on the other side.I kept packing so that I had something else to concentrate on so that my mind could catch up on the events that have unfolded out in front of me. I climb out of my PJ’s and slide on a pair of blue jeans, a black tank top and small blue cardigan. I then lace up my favourite black boots. Perched on the end of my bed I wonder what I am supposed to do now. Do I trust him or should I just ignore him and wonder if he will leave.
Then there is a knock on the door and Asher says “ are you ok in there Keira?”
I finally noticed that he is speaking with a strange british accent. I ramble in my head about where he could be from, and what year he was born, when I hear the knocking on the door again.
I opened the door with a bag in hand “ how do I know that I can trust you and that what you are saying is true and you're not just trying to lure me away?”
Just as he was about to reply a loud growl came from outside. Asher then shoots to the window and glares out into the night.
“Damn it they are here, quick get your bag, we need to leave right now”.
“I’ll explain everything that I can, when you are safely away from here”.
I look out the window and I see five creatures, fur covering their large bodies. I can’t believe their size, they are bigger than lions. My mind is made up. I need to trust Asher and that I no longer want to stay here.
Asher picks up my bag while snorting at the colour. He then picks me up and runs with me.
We are in front of the kitchen door in a blink of an eye. The already broken door smashes through and one of those beasts from my nightmares was standing in front of us. I let out a little whimper, but then I composed myself if I am meant to be the one to help save the world I will need to be tougher than this.
Asher put me and my bag down and ran towards the beast as it charged towards me. The beast never made it to me as Asher jumped on top and rammed a silver dagger into the beasts temple killing it instantly. Within a few seconds the beast lay on the ground with blood pooling underneath its head.
Asher picked me and my bag up and then my kitchen window blew through as more creatures jumped through it. Asher ran. It is safe to say I have never moved that fast in my life. Everything rushed by I couldn’t make out what anything was as it was still dark out. I didn’t even see him leave my house. Asher suddenly stops and looks behind us. I couldn’t see or hear anything but Asher must do as he carries on running again.
He seems to keep running for hours. I had to close my eyes as I was getting dizzy. I laid my head against his chest and slowly I drifted off to sleep.
I woke up for a second as Asher lay me down on something soft and then it was all darkness.
I opened my eyes and I was in someone’s bedroom. Red wallpaper with flowers decorated the walls and a low light shone through the room. The bed was huge with a canopy above the bed. I sit up and brush the hair out of my face. Everything that happened yesterday came back to me. I take a deep breath and wonder what is going to happen next. I grab my bag that has been left at the side of the bed and take out my hairbrush. Thanks to Ashers running my hair is a mess, I take my time brushing my long brown hair (wishing for once that it was a lot shorter), while trying to clear my head. I then dare to make my way out of the room, I go down a narrow corridor that leads to the top of a grand staircase. I slowly go down the steps listening out to hear if anyone is there.
Keira was stunned, she didn’t know what to say. “So do you believe the prophecy is about you? And how much everyone need you to fulfill it?” Asher questioned. “It is a lot to process, just give me a minute to take it all in”. An hour had passed in complete silence Asher thought Keria had frozen, she hadn’t moved or even blinked. As the sun rose it shone through the crack in the curtains. I watched as the dust motes danced in the light. The past few hours seemed to last forever, it had only been four hours since Asher turned up at my house and yet so much had happened and my life would no longer be the same again. How was I supposed to get my head around the fact that I was meant to inherit all these powers? How would I be able to control them all? At the age of twenty I didn’t expect my life to be turning out like this.  
We were surrounded by men and women of all different ages all carrying spears, axes, swords and bow and arrows all pointing straight at us. Asher spoke loudly and clearly. “ We are here to speak to your Lord Keltris. I bring Keira Kennedy, she is the one the prophecy speaks of. We have come for the transfer and the guidance of your people and I ask that you let us through.” The group started mumbling and whispering between themselves. A loud booming voice then echoed through the tree’s. “I am Prince Folen Keltris , I will escort you to my father Lord Folas Keltris .” “Let them through”. The elves instantly went silent and split straight down the middle instantly. A tall elf with long blond hair down to his waist, sharp blue eyes that were so bright that you could see t
I felt a hand land on my shoulder, but I couldn’t get enough composure together to shake it off or to find out who had put it there.“Keira, do not fear I am ready to do this for my people as well as everyone else. I do not fear it. I embrace it knowing that I will be one of the reasons that you can rid this world of the monstrosities that are plaguing our world.” Prince Folen spoke calmly“How can I take them from you knowing that I will take your life to do so? If that is the sacrifice that these powers require then how can they possibly do any good when the first act is evil?”“I do not know the answer to those questions, all I know is that, that is what is required it is not the act of death that is needed to pass the powers over, but once the power has left the body, the body can not survive the loss.”“ But why does it have to be you? Yo
I woke up as the sun shone through the very thin curtains, glad that with the day I had ahead of me that I didn't have a nightmare last night.To say that I was more than nervouse was a major understatement. I was scared of what I was having to do. I also felt bad because no matter how bad I was feeling Prince Folen must be feeling worse knowing that as soon as dark came and Asher could be there that the ceremony would start, so he only had about seven hours left to live.I made my way out of the bed and got ready. I didn't need to wear anything special for the ceremony so I just put on some of my favourite Blue skinny jeans, my green vest top and a green cardigan. I brushed my hair into a long ponytail at the top of my head and put on my favourite knee length boots.I came out of my bedroom and thought I would sgtart to have a little look around before finding if there was any food around.I came out of the big wooden doors and looked around in t
A few days had passed since the sacrifice had happened and I felt no different, now everyone was starting to get annoyed not at me but just at that nothing seemed to be happening. Prince Arizer still wouldn't look me in the eyes. Asher was getting more and more impatient wondering if there was something that could trigger it. Prince Arizer was asking loads of questions to see if I had better balance or if I could use a sword etc but the answer was always the same no.I kept finding ways to escape all of them asking me questions all the time and kept following that little path to the water.I always thought I was alone until tonight when Prince Arizer came out of the tree's."Why do you keep coming here every day Keira?""I thought I was alone and it gives me time to think and try work out things in my head.""No you have not been alone since you entered our lives. My brother did his part and now it's my turn to do my part and to
Well after two weeks of more training and practicing it was safe to say I know what powers I do and don't have now. I have better agility and I'm ok with a sword. I am amazing with a bow and arrow. We are still doing hand to hand combat but I'm good at that too. I am told I didn't get some of the powers that I could have but during a war wouldn't have helped much anyway. I didn't get the power to help nature so for plants and trees to grow or what they class as the elf beauty. Asher has been helping out when he can on a night but most of the time it is just me and Arizer. I like been around Arizer, he makes me train hard. He has started coming around to me more and seems to be letting me off for everything with his brother knowing it wasn't by choice. He makes me laugh and we have good banter between us. I get butterflies in my belly when I know I'm going to be seeing him. Me and Arizer were doing some more hand t
I woke up when Arizer came out of the bathroom, well my eyes opened slightly until I saw him in just a towel wrapped around his waist then I was fully awake. His arms were just pure muscle and a tattoo that ran over his right shoulder and down to his chest, his chest was hard and so smooth looking I let my eyes drop down to see his 6 pack. He had the best body I have ever seen in person. When his eyes looked at me he no doubt would have seen me looking like a dork and drooling over him.He flashed me a cocky grin and grabbed his bag and walked back into the bathroom where I saw a giant tattoo that covered his back, I don't know quite what it was it looked to me like different symbols all put together to make one big tattoo.I laid in bed thinking how on earth can I be attracted to Arizer? he is an arse.He came back out the bathroom this time he was clothed but didn't have his armour on. He grabbed the spare pillows off the top of the wardrobe and
