Holden opened his mouth to say something, but he quickly closed it. He didn't want to argue.
Seth nodded and gathered up his power to leave. When he got ready to teleport his feet were 'bolted' to the ground. "Great. I am being blocked." Seth said slightly annoyed. Holden tried to move but he couldn't. "Ah, you guys make my job to easy." A voice boomed in the hotel room. "So Holden, I hear you want to see your death. How about I show you your families deaths." The voice said with a evil laugh, as he sent the whole room into the 'day of death'. A blocked out male walked into Holden's house. "Excuse me? Who do you think you are?" Alicia asked as she walked up to the man. "I am your death vampire." The man said as he grabbed Alicia by the neck and threw her across the room and through the patio doors. Jason looked at Alicia who was on the ground outside. The man was quickly standing behind Jason, who was sitting on the couch. The man put his hand over Jason's mouth and jammed a knife into Jason's jugular. Alicia stood up and saw the shaking Jason. Her eyes turned blood red as she lunged at the man. The man quickly grabbed Alicia when she was close enough, and threw her to the ground. He pulled out a knife and jammed it into her chest and through her heart, killing her. Holden and Amanda walked into the house. He got wide eyed as he saw Alicia laying on the floor dead. "Amanda run and hide now." He said ushering her to the stairs. Amanda started crying as she was ushered to the stairs. She ran up them and ran into her room. She shut and locked the door. The man put his hand around Amanda's mouth. He disappeared and appeared by the couch. "Hello Holden, so we finally meet. And this young lady must be Amanda. Aw she is so cute." The man said with an evil smile. He pulled out a knife, "Say good bye to your baby sister." The man said as he jammed the knife into Amanda's heart. He threw the girls dead body to the side. "Well my job is done. Goodbye." The man said as he disappeared. Holden got wide eyed and fell to his knees. He crawled over to Amanda's body. He picked her up and started sobbing. "Please no... Amanda..." He said hugging the lifeless body. "And well then Solomon comes in, blah blah blah. Solomon picks Holden up and jabs a knife through his heart. It is really a touching moment." The voice said as he pulled the images away. "I will see you all soon." The voice said as he let everyone's feet go. Tears were rolling down Holden's cheeks as he fell to his knees and grabbed his head. |
Solomon appeared to be unaffected by the images. Part of him didn't believe it was going to happen, so he had no reason to worry. The future was not set in stone, "I give up. I can never get a moment of peace with any of you... It's so damn frustrating and quite frankly I'm sick of it. Holden, forgive me, but I am going home and I'm going to try and have some quiet time." With that, he was gone.
Melody looked over to Holden, hearing him cry. She rushed over, putting her hand gently on his shoulder, "Holden..ce..ce qui ne va pas? Est-ce ma faute à nouveau? Je suis désolé, je ne veux pas dire...(what..what's wrong? Is it my fault again? I'm sorry, I don't mean...) |
Holden pulled Melody into a hug, "No Melody, ce n'est pas vous. Il était juste... (No Melody, it's not you. It was just...)" He said pausing for a moment. He closed his eyes and pushed his sadness down. He let go of Melody and stood up. "I guess I should go check out, um Felix if you still want to help me, you can meet me at my house in about and hour." He said clearing his throat. Holden wiped away his tears and put on a weak smile.
Seth was a little taken aback by the images. "I'm gonna go. Holden I hope these events don't come true." He said as he disappeared. "Sure, I need to go and feed. I will see you soon." Felix said disappearing. Holden sighed as he looked down at Melody, "Voulez-vous venir avec moi en Angleterre? Ou voulez-vous revenir à Roslin? (Do you wanna come back with me to England? Or do you want to go back to Roslin's?)" He asked feeling emotionally weak. |
Melody took his hand tightly as she watched him with her blue eyes, "Est-il bien ... si je pars avec vous pendant un certain temps? Roslin semblait triste quand j'y étais.(Is it...alright if I go with you for awhile? Roslin seemed sad when I was there.)"
|
"Bien sûr, il va bien. Il vous suffit de s'asseoir ici que je reçois mes affaires emballées. (Of course it's alright. You just sit right here as I get my stuff packed.)" Holden said as he picked her up and set her in the chair. "Quand nous y arrivons, je vous faudra acheter des vêtements. (When we get there I will take you clothes shopping.)" He said as he scurried about the room grabbing his things.
|
Melody smiled slightly, "Pour avoir mes propres vêtements(To have my own clothes?)" She sat nicely on the bed while he packed, watching him silently, "Juste toi et moi? Personne ne nous dérange pas? J'en ai marre de vous déranger les gens .. ils vous rendre triste et en colère.(Just you and me? No one will bother us? I'm sick of people bothering you..they make you sad and angry.)"
|
"Oui, vous aurez vos propres vêtements, et votre propre lit et salle. (Yes, you will have your own clothes, and your own bed and room.)" Holden said with a smile as he zipped up his suitcase. "Espérons que personne ne nous dérange pas. Mais je suis sûr qu'une fois que mon ami me Alicia se sent de retour en Angleterre, elle va me trouver. Alicia est vraiment sympa, elle vit avec moi, ainsi que Jason, et ma sœur Amanda. (Hopefully no one will bother us. But I'm sure that once my friend Alicia feels me back in England she will find me. Alicia is really nice, she lives with me as well as Jason, and my sister Amanda.)" Holden said as he grabbed his suitcase.
He sighed and held out his hand for Melody, "Je vais nous téléporter en Angleterre, après je vérifie. Je n'aime pas voler tant que ça. (I will teleport us back to England, after I check out. I don't like flying all that much.)" He said as he walked out the door. He got into the elevator and pushed a button. "I just hope that Alexander isn't there. And my house better be clean too." Holden said to himself. |
Melody nodded, "Bon ... personne ne parle français là ou vous êtes le seul?(Okay...does anyone there speak French or are you the only one?)" She took his hand and followed him out, rather excited to be leaving Paris, but at the same time she was dreading it. She knew her way around the city, but wherever they were going was completely new to her and she was afraid of getting lost. She scooted closer to Holden as a young couple entered the elevator as well.
|
"Oui, Jason, et Alicia faire. Amanda peut parler un peu, mais elle ne parle pas couramment. (Yes, Jason, and Alicia do. Amanda can speak a little bit, but she isn't fluent.)" Holden said with a smile. He walked out of the elevator when it reached the lobby. He walked up to the desk, and smiled at the lady.
"Bonjour monsieur, que puis-je faire pour vous? (Hello sir, what can I do for you?)" The lady asked with a smile. "Oui, je voudrais vérifier hors de ma chambre. Il a été regestured sous Salomon Kalika, il avait une situation d'urgence de retour en Angleterre, alors il a dû quitter. (Yes, I would check out of my room. It was regestured under Solomon Kalika, he had an emergency back in England, so he had to leave.)" He said with a small frown. "Ok monsieur, ce sera juste un moment. (Ok sir, it will be just a moment.)" She said looking at the computer and typing. Holden smiled and hummed while he was waiting for the woman to be done. "D'accord, vous êtes tous ensemble monsieur. Et j'espère que vous avez apprécié votre séjour ici, à Paris. (Okay, you are all set sir. And I hope you enjoyed your stay here in Paris.)" They lady said with a smile as she handed a receipt to Holden. "Merci madame. (Thank you ma'am.)" Holden said grabbing the receipt. He went to the door. He sighed, "I'm going to miss Paris." He said as he went to find a safe place to teleport. After a few minutes of searching he finally found a spot. "Préparez-vous. (Brace yourself.)" He said as he teleported to England. Holden landed a few feet away from Solomon's hanger. |
Melody followed him closely, keeping her eyes to the ground as she did so. When they stopped moving she closed her eyes tight as they teleported. When she opened them, they were at the hanger, which she had no idea what it was. She had never been to an airport or anywhere near a plane. "Quel est ce lieu?(What's this place?)"
|
"Il s'agit d'un aéroport. (It's an airport.)" Holden said as he walked into the hanger. "Ma voiture est ici. (My car is in here.)" He said as he turned on a light. He missed his Ferrari, "Avez-vous déjà monté dans une voiture avant? (Have you ever rode in a car before?)" Holden asked as he opened the door for her.
|
She nodded, "Oui.(Yes.)" Her mouth dropped open as she saw the red car before her. It was so..beautiful. "Oh mon dieu .. c'est tellement beau .... Vous devez être plus riche que Maître.(Oh my..gosh it's so...beautiful. You must be richer than Master.)" She tentatively touched the paint, quickly pulling her hand back as he opened the door. She climbed into the seat and buckled her seatbelt.
|
"De ne pas paraître grosse tête, mais oui je le suis. Je possède entre un et deux millions de dollars de voitures. (Not to sound big headed, but yes I am. I own between one and two million dollars worth of cars.)" Holden said as he shut the door. He walked around the front and got into the car. He started the car, "Ne vous inquiétez pas je ne roule pas aussi vite. (Don't worry I don't drive that fast.)" He said as he backed the car up.
"Thanks for telling me that you were back." Alicia said. "Sorry, but I knew you would notice me." He said. "I'm gonna take Melody shopping, and then I will be home. So my house better be clean when I get there." Holden said sternly. "Don't worry it will be." She said with a nervous chuckle. She pulled out her phone and pretended to text, "Ok, Jason, Amanda into the shower. Holden is on his way back. Alexander, can you help me clean up?" Alicia asked with a smile. Jason nodded and ran up to his room. "Holden's coming, Holden's coming." Amanda chanted as she ran up the stairs. |
Alexander nodded, "Of course Alicia, after all, I have to earn my stay for last night." He went around, cleaning up the kids messes with Alicia.
Melody shrugged, "Je n'ai pas l'esprit de conduire vite. It's alright. Allez-vous déposer vos sacs ot pied en premier? Cette voiture n'a pas beaucoup d'espace..tronc.(I don't mind fast driving. It's alright. Are you going to drop your bags off first? This car doesn't have much..trunk space.)" She looked out the window, her mouth open in amazement as they drove through the city. |
"Thanks Alexander." Alicia said as she went to the stairs. "Hayden Mişcă-ţi fundul aici şi de a ajuta curat, Holden pe drumul de întoarcere. (Hayden get your ass down here and help clean, Holden's on his way back.)" She yelled in Romanian.
"Non, il ya beaucoup de place. Plus il ya un peu d'espace à l'arrière. (No, there is plenty of room. Plus there is a little space in the back.)" Holden said with a smile. "Si vous voulez, je peux balancer par Salomon et ramasser ma Mustang, il a plus de latitude. (If you want I can swing by Solomon's and pick up my Mustang, it has some more room.)" Holden said feeling good about being back in England. |
Hayden yelled out in frustration, storming downstairs and placing her hands on her hips, "Excuse me? Don't you take that tone with me young lady!" She let out a groan and began to help Alexander out.
Melody shook her head, "Non, ça va ... Je me demandais simplement.(No, it's okay...I was just wondering.)" |
Holden quickly slammed on the brakes as he saw a man appear in the road. "Oh no..." He said as he knew this presence.
"Ah Holden so you are finally back." The man said as he latched onto Holden's car and teleported to Holden's house. Holden fell onto the floor with a giant thud. Alicia ran up to Holden, "What the hell are you doing? Alexander is here." She said helping Holden up. "He is here." He said pointing to the door. The man opened the door and waltz in with an evil smile on his face. "Well you certainly know how to surround yourself with friends and family. Let me add someone else to the party." The man said as Solomon's lifeless body appeared. "No Solomon." Holden whispered. "Let's kill the human's first." The man said as he teleported Alexander into his arms. "Aw no wonder you are smitten with him, he is just to cute." The man said as he quickly pulled out a knife and put it to Alexanders neck. He sighed and jammed the knife into Alexander's jugular. He waited until the boy was dead before he threw it to the ground. "Alexander!!" Alicia yelled as she ran at the man. |
Hayden tensed as she sensed the presence approaching. Her eyes went wide as Solomon's body appeared. "S-So..." Tears ran down her cheeks as she fell to her knees. Why didn't she sense it? She should've sensed the Slayer hurting him. Suddenly, she twitched as the smell of Alexander's blood filled her nose. Her eyes slowly became red and began to glow as she fought to keep her mind under control.
Melody landed on her feet, but was quickly brought down as she threw up from disorientation. After a couple of dry heaves, she looked around, horrified as she saw Solomon on the floor. She jumped a bit as Alexander was dropped, a bit of blood still flowing from his neck as he hit the floor. She wanted to scream, and run, but she couldn't. Fear paralyzed her. |
The man quickly acted and grabbed Alicia and slammed her to the floor. "You will have to do better then that." He said as he put his hand over Alicia's heart, and quickly broke through her chest and pulled out her heart. He stood up and threw her heart to the side.
"Daddy? Daddy are you here?" Jason asked as he walked down the stairs. He stopped when he saw the man, and Alicia's dead body. The man grew a big smile as he saw Jason. He pulled out another knife and threw it hitting Jason in the head, piercing his brain. Jason looked to Holden as the knife penetrated his head. His dead lifeless body fell down the rest of the stairs landing a few feet from the man. Holden stood there extremely scared. "You know you guys really are no fun." The man said as he sent a large blast of TK at Hayden. The man quickly disappeared and landed behind Melody. He quickly wrapped his hand around her head and broke her neck, killing her instantly. Holden fell to his knees and grabbed his chest as he felt his friends and family die. |
Melody had no time to react, after all, she was only human. She did let out a scream as she felt his hands on her, reaching out for Holden as tears rolled down her cheeks. Seconds later, she went limp.
Hayden blocked the attack, hugging herself as blood saturated the air. She had to do this. To prove to Solomon she was better. She shut her eyes tightly, fighting tears. After a moment, she disappeared, appearing behind the slayer in her normal, 22 year old looking self. She took her half sword, spinning it once and ramming it in his back, sending the blade straight through his body. How dare this creature hurt Solomon? He thinks he can get away with it? I think not. Solomon wasn't dead, not yet at least. He was however, closer than ever before. He focused all his power to healing his heart and brain; which were currently shredded thanks to the damn slayer. He kept his power output low though, to keep form alerting the slayer he was still alive. |
The man smiled as the sword went through his abdomen. He was excited for this fight. He turned around and sent a TK blast at Hayden as he pulled out the sword with TK. He quickly jumped back to somewhat distance himself from Hayden.
Holden stood up, he had to do something anything. He quickly disappeared and landed behind the man. He pulled out a knife and jammed it into the man's back, hopefully penetrating his heart. The man elbowed Holden in the face, as he did so he turned around. He grabbed Holden by the neck, he squeezed and broke it. He then threw Holden's body across the room sending him flying through the patio door. |
Hayden slid back, pulling her Katana from her back as she did so. She would not let this sword so easily slip from her grip; as it was Solomon's. She clenched the hilt tightly, locking the man in place with telekinesis as she came forward, swinging it down at his shoulder, slicing through the joint and decapitating his arm in the process. Once the sword cleared his flesh, she quickly tilted it and brought it up to his side to slice him in half.
|
The man was really enjoying this, even though his arm was just cut off. He grabbed the sword that was in his abdomen, he quickly blocked her attack. He broke her TK shackles and twisted the sword. As he did so he quickly teleported so he was standing behind Hayden with the sword in her abdomen this time. He smiled evilly as he heard Amanda moving around upstairs. He grabbed Hayden's neck and broke it. Now he knew that a broken neck couldn't kill a vampire but it would buy him a few seconds to grow back his arm.
|
Hayden tried to keep the grip on Solomon's sword. She couldn't let him touch it like that. It made her extremely angry, but before she could retaliate with an attack, he was behind her with Solomon's sword rammed into her abdomen. She brought her elbow back but was quickly thrown aside with a broken neck. She wrapped her hands around it, setting it quickly.
She stood, lunging at the man as she pulled out the sword and tackling him as her body healed. As she came into contact with him, she rammed the sword into his heart, twisting it a few times. If she could kill him, she might still be able to save Solomon with enough human blood. She had to try. |
The man laughed as she tried to kill him by puncturing his heart. He quickly grabbed her arm and pulled it out of the socket. He kicked her off and got up. He teleported behind her, when he was teleporting he pulled out a knife. When he made it behind her he jammed the knife into her back by her heart. Knowing that she would die by penetrating her heart.
Holden's neck reset and he quickly stood up just as he saw Hayden get stabbed in the heart. He teleported to Amanda's room, he had to get her out of there. "Amanda I need to get you out of here now." He said grabbing her. "Why?" Amanda asked scared. "Just trust me." He said as he got ready to teleport. "Stupid idiot." The man said as he pulled Holden and Amanda in front of him. He strapped Holden and Amanda to the floor, "This sword Holden. will be your death. This is bewitched by witches, and whoever get's pierced by this will die slowly and painfully." He said walking around Holden and Amanda, as he twisted the sword in the air. He stopped when he was right behind Holden. He jammed it into Holden's abdomen and sending it through Amanda's skull. He pulled it out so Amanda's body would fall to the floor. "Well my job is done." The man said as he made his heart explode. The man fell to the ground dead. Holden grunted when the sword went though him. His eyes got wide when he saw Amanda's body on the floor. "A-.. Amanda? N-..no... Please god no." He said as he fell to his knees. He picked up Amanda's body and started sobbing violently. After a few minutes Holden fell to the ground writhing in pain, he knew he was dieing. |
Hayden staggered a bit before falling to her knees. She pulled out the knife quickly, but carefully. She was already low on power due to her lack of blood and her earlier wounds. Suddenly, she felt fear as black dots clouded her vision. No, this can't be. She couldn't die this easily...but then again; lack of blood. She made her way over to Solomon, taking the knife and pulling it across her wrist. While vampire blood held no 'nutritional' value for a vampire, it was still very powerful. Solomon would need every bit he could get to save himself and Holden. She held her wrist on Solomon's mouth as she fell over, death slowly taking over.
Solomon's body trembled violently as Hayden was stabbed again. Next thing he knew, she was shoving blood down his throat. He wanted to shove her away; she needed it more than he did, but he was far to weak to do so. Suddenly loud snaps were heard as his ribs pulled out of his lungs and reset. He felt a bit of strength return to him, but he had no desire to move as Hayden's arm lay limply on his neck. He just couldn't believe it. In a few short minutes, they were all dead...wait.. Holden was still alive. Barely, but alive. He gently moved Hayden's hand from his face and dragged himself over to Holden. He placed his hand on Holden's heart, preparing to heal him a bit, "Hold on Holden...I can fix this...all of this.." He had to. He had to save Holden, and there was still time to turn Amanda if Holden would consider it. Alicia, Jason and Melody were beyond saving. Alexander never stood a chance either...but Holden and Amanda did, and perhaps yet even his own sister, and he would do everything in his power to fix it. |
"No Solomon, I can't let you heal me." Holden said grabbing Solomon's hand off of his chest. He wasn't crying anymore, and he could feel his anger rise. He gently laid Amanda on the floor and closed her eyes. He felt really weak but at the same time power was rolling off of him. He picked up Solomon so he was sitting, his eyes were a dull gray. He looked Solomon dead in the eyes, "You have to kill me Solomon. I feel my mind breaking, if you were to somehow heal me who knows what I would do." He said closing his eyes to keep it from breaking before he wanted it to. "I love you Solomon." He said pulling Solomon into a deep but weak kiss. He pulled out a throwing knife and put it in Solomon's hand. "You were the best thing to happen to me. And none of this is your fault, please remember that." Holden said with a smile as he waited for Solomon to end his life for the final time.
|
Solomon stared at him with a torn expression as the knife was placed in his hand. Kill him? He couldn't possibly. He was appalled that Holden could think he'd be able to do it. "H-Holden..I can't...I know I can help you...mind and body. Y-you have to let me try." Solomon was not one to cry; never in fact...even when his wife and daughter were murdered, but he couldn't help but let a few tears roll off his face as Holden kissed him.
He knew he'd be unable to change Holden's mind, the boy was set on his decision. Suddenly, Solomon gripped the knife tightly, looking Holden dead in the eyes, "I will never forgive myself for doing this Holden, because it is my fault. If I had never told you what I was, we'd be back in America, enjoying the day without a care. I'm sorry that I deprived you of a long, happy life. I love you so much Holden, and it pains me more than anything to do this...but...you're right..." He placed his lips on Holden's once more in a light kiss as he forcibly drove the knife into his heart, dragging it down a bit as he cut the organ in half. He lifted his lips, but rested his forehead against Holden's as he held the boy close, his eyes closed tightly. "I'm so sorry Holden." *** Even months afterwards, Solomon could never pull himself out of his depression. He was barely able to save himself from death, and was completely unsuccessful in saving his sister. He would've at least liked some familiar company. Nonetheless, nothing seemed to improve for him; his own fault really. He refused to move on, despite Serus's words of advice. He ended up selling his horses, his house, his cars, and just about everything else shortly after the funerals. He didn't have to, but he wanted to anyway. He didn't need them. He bought a small ranch home on the outskirts of London, away from all the city noise. He would often just sit around all day, reading or doing nothing. It was a depressive lifestyle. It didn't last long though. Only about a year later, when he got an unexpected visit from Serus, did he ask her to kill him. She was against it of course, as she knew he could break out of it; or so she hoped. She made him think long and hard about the decision before she agreed to do it, seeing as she couldn't change his mind no matter what she did. As instructed, Serus had buried Solomon's body next to Holden's in the small graveyard he established by the pond on his old property. She didn't like the fact that she had partook in this but Solomon made his decision and he knew what he was doing. In a sense though, it was for the best. The poor man would never be able to interact properly with another person; he was just far too heart broken... End |
