The Protectors

Dinner's Up Kids

We tiredlessly cleared and cleaned the main hall, we got the werewolf bodies up on the feild and put them in a pile, i was tempted to talk yo Gemma but my nerces kept getting the better of me, when we went to the feild, it was not a bright green grass feild any longer, it had been turned in to a depressed desalute mud plain, this feild i suppose was technically a no mans land for the hole time thay battle took place, the look and smell of yhe bodies were starting to make me nauseous. Gemma stood with a tear to the eye, next to the body pile, she deliberatly stood on the opposite side away from me, she stoid crying alone and there was no way for me to support her in this difficult time, she didnt want to be anywhere near me, but i suppose who could blame her, everything she'd ever known and family she'd grown up with was dead in a matter of hours, just because of my presence in what, should have been a safe haven, i could not help, but stare at the pile in disbelief and sadness.

With 1 click of her fingers Gemma magically set fire to the body pile, she looked over at me with daggered eyes, if looks could kill i would have died on the spot, the trouble is one wrong look from her, she could actually kill me but she would be in troubke with her sister and mother. Gemma turned around and started to walk back to the willow tree as she wept a tear or two, i felt helpless, i wanted to call to her, i wanted to comfort her but i knew i would only make things worse between us, but the scariest thing if all all she woukd have to do is click her fingers and im a gonna.

I slowly wondered back keeping my distance from Gemma. Dragging my heels following Gemma back to the willow. I slowly in a tired state decended down the stairs. When I got to the bottom on the stairs and entered the main hall, i went and sat at the table in the far corner feeling lonely and cold, Gemma was no where to be seen, the room was quiet and damp. I sat with my own thoughts, thinking about my mum and how much i wanted to help in winning her back from the demon.

After a while of sitting eagerly waiting some sort of news, Gemma marched towards me, i thought i had done something and she was coming to punish me, but she came with a pillow and duvet. She threw them at me and told me "your room 11, next to me, knock on the wall if you need me, im room 10". With appreciation i said "thank you". Emotionless she turned and walked away. I chased and called over to her "Gemma" she refused to look at me, but i continued anyway "we're all in this together we need to be a team", falling on deaf ears she carried on walking away ignoring me completly.

I decided to go to my cell of a bedroom, to hope to try and get some sleep, i sat on the brick mattress of a bed. I opened the creeky doors of the wardrobe, to my relief i found some towls, i took it with great haste and went to find a shower. I walked down the corridor, i found a shower room but it was locked, i heard from the other side Gemma aggressively shout "WAIT, ill be out in a sec" i apolodgised, and i waited outside the door. 5 mins later Gemma walked out with a towl wrapped around her head, wearing her dressing gown and barefoot, i was cold, i can only imagine how cold she was.

I dared to ask "Gemma" with a bad attitude she turned to me with disgust "why do you hate me so much this is not my fault". For a moment she was quiet with a deadly look in her eye.

In retaliation she pointed at me and turned me into a mouse as i tried to scurry she shouted "BECAUSE YOU", she pointed again and i turned into a frog as i went to leap away she shouted "HUMANS ARE", she pointed again and turned me into a rabbit as i tried to hop away she shouted for the last time "WEAK AND POINTLESS" then she pointed again and i turned back to myself, feeling drained of energy i just laid on the floor, she walked up to me and crouched down to me and said "so there, weak" she flicked me on the nose and went to walk away, but she turned back around walked over to where i lay again and lectured " you humans want want want all the time, you want us to protect you, but in return you burn us at the stake, there were werwolfs here tonight who have died for a human AGAIN you cheat us, you cant do anything for yourself. we are the superiors and we have to do your bidding, im only here because my mum and sister are putting their lives in danger to save YOUR stupid mum, if it were upto me, you'd be gone and i'd have left your stupid mother down there". As i lay there, she continued "shes a half witch she had no business raising demons" i laid and watched her storm off towards her bedroom, and i heard her door slam shut.

As i lay almost paralized on the floor, the atmosphere m suddenly felt erie, something was here with me, and i know it's not Gemma she just storned off, but something was watching what Gemma had just done to me. Eventually, i sat up still with an overwhelming feeling of being watched, i looked around the corridor in front of me, and then i looked behind me, to my shock there were a group of about 10 young children stood behind me at the entrance to the corridor on the opposite side to the great hall, they stared at me, there was no sense of life in them what so ever, their pale white faces, white night gowns, they sent chills down my spine. I slowly got up off the floor and stood watching them hoping they're not the demons minions that are after me.

I slowly turned and briskley walked the other way, they stayed just watching me walk down to Gemma's room at the other end, my nerves were noe running wild so i started to run down the corridor and ran into Gemma's room without a moment of thought, "oi oi oi, what do you think your doing perv" she was partically dressed with trousers and bra on but no top, "i am so sorry" i shouted quickly turning the other way. "Are you ready now" i enquired, she answered "yes, now what do you want, unless you want to become another animal". I shivered in fear "theres ghosts in the corridor". "Right" she replied sarcastically "can you not handle anything yourself tell em to bug off". She said sarcastically again, angered by her answer i replied "look, i'm kinda new to all this, this morning in my head witches and demons didn't exist, so abit of your cooperation would come in bloody handy right now". Gemma looked at me dead in the eye, my heart started pounding, i broke into a cold sweat, and started regreting saying what i said, i seriously thought she was going to do something, not very nice to me again. To my surprise she churped "right, come on then lets go ghost hunting" we opened the door, we walked into the corridor and the children were still there staring into thin air. Gemma laughed "there not ghosts" shocked i asked "well what are they then?" "they're the vampires" she said with cheer "they wont harm you" scared that vampires now exist too and knowing they tend to drink human blood, i whispered "no?", "no" gemma sarcastically exclaimed "not unless i tell them too", scared and shocked i asked "wait what?", she answered devishly "they've not eaten yet, who am i to deprice them of their dinner?", she waved her hand and her bedroom door shut and locked, my breath began to become heavy and my blood started pumping and i prepared to run, but seens as Gemma has magically lock hers and my door, the instant thought racked my head, where do i run if anything happens? Gemma gladly announced "dinners up kids, come get him", the 10 children charged towards me with their thang like teeth ready, i turned and ran down the corridor and in through the main hall, ran over to the other side and down another corridor, i ran as fast as i could caper, although they were children, they were fast, hungry and kept gaining on me and gaining, i realised i missed a bedroom door, as i ran passed, i burst through a different door to get away, but this door i burst through, was a door that lead further down into the ground, as though i was decending into a basement.

I suddenly realised i ran into the lions den, as i approached the bottom i tripped over a coffin, i obviously woke the propriortor inside because the lid of the coffin opened as i was in the floor next to it, i got up as fast as i could i ran weaving in and out of constant opening coffins, it was then i screamed as loud as my voice would let me "MARIA, MARIA, MARIA" but she did not come to my aid, i ran around like a mouse avoiding being stamped on, i tripped over my own foot and smacked into the wall hurting my leg in the process the vampires, ranged from children, to teenagers and adults there must have been 40 gathering around me now for a shared dinner, i suddenly realised i forget to shout Hope so i gathered as much air in my lungs, as the vampires approached i screamed and shouted again MARIA-HOPE, MARIA-HOPE, MARIA-HOPE".
