Strings of Fate

7th String: Premonitions and Warnings

I looked at her in disbelief. This was impossible. I shook my head in defiance. "No, Kath. Nothing will happen. You're just paranoid. Think positively. No such thing will happen." My instincts have never been wrong, but I don't want to think about these things. I don't want to think that something like that would happen.

She nods and gave me a tight lipped smile. "Yeah... Maybe you're right. I won't stress you out anymore. Go back to the physical world now."

I smiled at her and did as she said. And the first thing I heard was Alex's groan. I looked at her innocently. "What did I do?"

"Sp you were spacing out! I was blabbering to air. Great," she grumbled and crossed her arms. She was looking irritated while I laughed at her. "Sorry! Not my intention to space out. Just needed to talk to Kath." I waved her off.

Both she and Armand gave me a disbelieving look. I tilted my head to the side and looked at them both questioningly. "What?" It's not like I killed someone. Why were they giving me that look?

"Who's Kath?" They asked at the same time.

"Oh," I said. I forgot to tell them about her. I felt Kath growl inside me, irritated that I hadn't told my friends. I mentally threw her a peace sign. "Kath is my Sub - Self."

Alex nodded and then went on to another question. "What is a Sub - Self?"

"It's a--Whoa!"

I was cut off by someone magically putting me inside a void. I looked around. Where am I? There was nothing here. Just... white. And it's actually blinding me. I squinted at the place. I'm seriously going to hate white if I stay here for long.

How did I even get in here? I've heard of a void, but it was only used by Mages. Did Alex put me in here? No. Impossible. She was talking to me and she doesn't have a motive to do this. Except for the fact that I was a vampire. Yeah, no. She won't do this. We were friends...

But how the hell did I get in here? I was becoming angrier by the moment. "Whoever did this, what do you want!? Alex, I swear, if you're the one who did this, I will absolutely smack your--"

"It's not her." I heard a feminine voice behind me, making me jump in surprise. Gee, did she have to shock me like that? She could have just walked over slowly to me and not take me by surprise like that. If I was human I might have had a heart attack.

I turned around and was surprised (again) at what I saw. I was suddenly in the middle of a dark alley, with a hooded girl I'm front of me (wow, that rhymed). Her blonde hair fell down her shoulder in small curls, which looked that they were curled for a while now, not like mine which was curled up naturally, but are now straight thanks to a girl named Alex.

I cleared my throat awkwardly. "Uh, um, what do you want?" I stated carefully. A snarky retort was at the tip of my tongue, and I was itching to say it, but I had to be careful. This girl radiated off power. I could tell she was a very powerful Mage, not as strong as I am, but strong nonetheless. She must be the daughter of a Warlock. No Mage feels this strong except for a Mage Royalty, meaning she was certainly a Warlock's daughter. It was like being the daughter of an Alpha, or like a daughter of a Vampire Meister, like me. My mind was telling me that this girl was bad news, but Kath tells me otherwise.

She smiled at me. "I just needed to tell you something important."

I felt a pang of fear and nervousness crawl up my spine, making me shiver. I bit my lip and looked away from her. Was she going to tell me that there will be a massacre tonight, too? I had a very strong feeling that she will. Well, earth be damned, I am not about to hear that from a stranger, not to mention a Mage, who is barely even trustworthy. "Sorry, miss, but I'm not going to listen to whatever crap you are about to say to me. I don't have time to listen to Mage's game."
