Dazzling lights glow over head glinting off of the girls amber eyes, making them look like pools of hot liquid gold.
Well at least they shined like gold, totally unnatural.
She looks at me expectantly so, against my better judgement I stepped forward and lower myself into the chair opposite her.
"Hello pretty spirit" she says in a low voice laced with something I can't quite place.
"Hi" I reply "how do you know my name?"
I eye her up and down noticing her cheeks flush slightly pink.
Raising an eyebroe she said "already checking me out, tut tut, I wasn't expecting that from you miss bloodrose"
I shoot to my feet.
She knows me by name, not only that, she knows my full name.
You see, names are a sacred thing, they hold power, especially in the supernatural world.
"Calm down" she says softly "I am simply a friend of your sisters"
Hesitantly I slide back to my chair.
I watch her delicate looking hands shift to a staff that was propped up at her side.
The length of the staff was purple in colour, darker at the bottom gradually getting lighter higher up the staff.
At the tip of the staff appeared to be a chrystal of sorts. Deep purple in colour, slightly pulsating as her hand grasps the handle.
"I need your help?" She asks
I look at her inquisitively, my head tilted slightly, I nod
"Okay"she begins "so there appears to be some people of interest fucking around with things that are beyond this world"
"What. Explain."
I snap, coming out far sharper than I intend.
"A group of vampires have been meddling with the portals to other worlds"
She replies quickly
"But I'm unsure how as there was originally thought to be no known gateway."
This girl, she's strange. I thought.
Why is she telling me all this. I don't even know her.
So I decide to ask some questions.
"First of all, what is your name, what shall I call you?"
"My name? Now why would you want that? Beside you know well enough of the power they hold."
I shrug "I can't and won't help a girl whom I can't speak the name of" I reply turning my face away from her, trying to act disinterested.
"Fine" she sighs "my name is Freya Heart" she slumps back in her chair and stares at me for a moment.
I stare right back
She seemed to be waiting for something.
I speak "okay miss Freya Heart" as I finish my words i feel my chest spike with pain, white hot and spreading quickly.
"Well. You are really going to hate me after this miss Bloodrose" she whispers so quietly no human would have heard.
...
White
...
Light
...
A blinding white light is all I could see.
All around me.
A shimmering purple haze twisted in front of my eyes. Drifting, floating, forming a shape.
Only partially visible,
the figures form looked like smoke, like if i reached out to touch the soft ghostly skin my hand would pass right through.
However, she spoke, in my head, yet, all around me at the same time.
"I need your help Spirit, you have managed to bind yourself to me,"
I felt my heart pick up speed beating like a caged animal behind my ribs.
"BEfore you panic, this should be fixable after we have solved our little portal problem."
After saying this the next thing I knew, my vision was drifting to black...
