Victoria

The Recruit (Chapter four)

I open my eyes and I am in my white wedding gown again. It's as beautiful as I remember it. The back was open with a thin mesh still showing my back. The train was long but the skirt was only knee high. The Veil was thin enough to still see through. Issac laid his eyes on me and his jaw almost dropped. 

"Have I ever told you that you look amazing in all back?" He asked me. I smile back at him and reply "No I don't think so." Sarcastically. He smiles and I smile. 

"Due to what we are, we marry differently than humans. So here we go." Says the guy that is marrying us. 

"Do you Issac Redwing take Victoria to be your wife until death due you part?" 

"I do." Issac says smiling at me. 

"Victoria Blackstone do you take Issac to be your husband till death do you part?" 

"I do." I say as I smile at him. 

"Well then what are you waiting for. You kids are now married!" The man tells us. Issac kisses me deeply and wraps his arms around my waist as i wrap my arms around his neck. This is by far one of the happiest days of my life. 

I wake up to the sun light in my face. I groan and try to cover my head. The memories of last night flood me. I jump up quickly and Issac is still sleeping. 

"Issac we got to go before the clan sends more people for us!" I tell him shaking him. He jumps up and we grab out clothes. I run to my closet and grab as many of my clothes as I can and before we both know it we jump off the balcony and get into the car. 

"You know we will need a rental right?" He asks me. 

"I'm aware." I tell him. 

We quickly pull into this hole in the wall place. 

"I would like a car with tinted windows. I should be renting it for about a week maybe a little longer." I explain to the guy. 

"Does the color matter to you?" He asks me  

"Not at all." I tell him and force a smile.

"All I need is an id from you and proof of insurance." He explains to me. 

I look around in my purse and find my id and hand it to him. 

"Ashley? Only 30 how do you look so young?" He asks me with wide eyes. 

"Must run in the family." I say firmly. He smiles and looks down to enter everything into the computer. We are standing there waiting a few minutes and I keep looking out their huge windows to make sure no one is on our scent yet. I start to get lost looking around everywhere. 

"Ashley? You have been approved and you are all set to go." He says. I look down to see his name tag. 

"Thank you Tom." I smile and grab the keys off the counter. 

We rush out to the car and pull it around the corner where we have our other car. Issac moves everything over as I keep look out. After everything is moved he sets fire to the car and we are off on the open road. 

We stay in silence as I drive down the highway way unsure of where we are going. He is just as lost in thought as I am. Finally after a few minutes he reaches his hand out to mine and holds my hand as I drive. I look over at him for a second and smile before putting my eyes back on the road. 

"So where are we going?" I ask him eagerly. 

"Where ever you would like." He tells me. 

Silence falls upon us again. I start to bite at my lip as I think about how we would never be safe unless we take out the clan. 

"You said you would drop it and not go back if I didn't kill you!" He hisses at me. 

"Issac they are going to come for us. We killed two of their members. You know how the clan is. BUT I'm not turning anyone. We are going to find and start our own clan and go to war!" I tell him excited. 

"A clan?" He asks me. 

"A clan!" I reassure him. 

"And what will we call this so called clan?" He asks me. 

"The Redwing clan. After my amazing husband." I tell him happily. 

"And what makes you think people would want to join our rouge clan that's already started a war?" He asks me  

"Our powers. You are a lie detector and make people tell us the truth. And I… well we don't know what mine is yet but when we do I'm sure they will be just as epic as yours." I tell him 

"Where would we start a clan?" He asks me. 

"I don't know but let's find a place and start." I tell him smiling. 

When We finally manage to stop we are in Salem, Massachusetts. Issac warned me to be careful because there is still tons of which activity and they could spot us through our auras. As we are walking around I start getting an eerie feeling in my stomach as if we are being followed. I must not have been the only one, I see Issac look over his shoulder and frown. 

“Just as I thought.” I hear him mumble. He turns into the alley and I follow him. We hear the footsteps behind us. I turn around to see who it is. She is maybe five foot three, with light blonde hair. Her eyes are a silky brown. 

“Hello there…” I call out unsure of what I was signing ourselves up for. I prayed she was a vampire and not a witch or a hunter. “I can’t help but to notice you are following us. I was wondering why?” I ask out. She stands there with a look on her face that is hard to read. A few minutes go by and I do not get an answer from her. At this point I refuse to turn my back to her. She watches me and I watch her. Finally she breaks the silence. 

“You know there are witches in their parts right Ma'am?” She asks me.

“Yes?” I ask out in confusion “This is the “home of witchcraft” This is also why we came here.” I tell her 

“Well in these parts, most vampires don’t bother.” She tells me. I try to look unfazed and hoping she was not going to try to harm us. 

“Vampires?” I laugh. “You would have to be someone special to believe in vampires.” I tell her. She looks at me almost confused. She then has a bright glowing coming from her hands. I look at her shocked. She looks at me almost unsure of why she is doing this. 

“Are you a Vampire?” She asks me. I look her in the eyes and back up. I touch Issac’s arm and at this point her step in and makes eye contact with her. The light in her hand starts to slowly fade and then there is nothing there. 

“Who are you and how can we help you?” He asks. 

“My name is Ashley.” She says, “I am a vampire who hides here in fear hoping a witch doesn’t find me.” She explains to us. I look up and look at her. 

“Smile.” Issac demands. She smiles and sure enough, her fang show and she nods. 

“How do you know we are not witches?” He asks her. 

“You smell undead.” She tells him. I turn my head slightly and walk up to her. 

“Where is your clan?” I ask her cold. 

“Gone. They are either dead or they were forced to move by the witches.” She explains. 

I smile huge and look at her. Her power has something to do with either light or with fire which would be a huge help to us. 

“Do you know anyone with the clan Raven?” Issac asks her still looking her in the eyes. She looks at him and at this point I can tell his power is working on her. 

“No, I know when I was first turned they were a huge clan everywhere. With the last 50 years they have started to disappear.” She tells him. 

“How would you like to become a Redwing?” I ask her with a huge grin on my face. She returns the smile. 

“I would love too!” She happily tells us. We all take a minute to introduce ourselves and next thing you know, she is now apart of the clan. We are slowly growing now. Before we knew it we could take on the Raven clan and finally wipe them out.
