One shot: Just One Fix

Chapter 3: Information

Her eyes met mine in the mirror.

“Chloe, your powers are still growing. The next equinox is in 12 years time. You would be completely ready by then and not in need of Silver. Why the hurry?“

“Gran, they turn hundreds of people everyday. Their numbers have increased exponentially during the last 5 years and nobody knows why. Not even the council members. Their bloodlust is exceeding the normal boundaries. I need to do this now. In 12 years time, G*d knows how many of them will be there..”

 “Chloe, please. Stop this. Remember what happened last time that you lost control to the beast.” She said quietly while tears starting to form in her eyes.

“Gran, I see no other way.” I sighed. “Alone, I will not be powerful. I need to restrain him. Even with Dravec in me, I need Silver to pull this off.”

“In 12 years time, you would be…”she started.

I shook my head. “No.”

“Stop it! This is insane! Last time Silver took control, you killed all the werewolves in a radius of 10 km and… your, and…your d…,” she broke down and stormed away.

“And dad.” I quietly added before closing the bathroom door behind her.

I sighed and put on the shower. After I took off my clothes, I stepped under the steaming hot water and let it slowly wash my worries away.

Together we can pull this off. Dravec, Silver and Chloe Faulkner.

The Amazing Threesome out to rid the world of evil.

Noah’s POV

I got myself up off the road and inspected my wounds. Thank G*d, they were healingly normally and quickly. No horrible witchy stuff.

I looked around and saw nothing but burning hot desert. F*ck my car is still back there. I have no transportation.

I checked the back pocket of my jeans. My cell phone was still in one piece and working.

I dialled Darien’s number. “Darien? I am at the gate. Can you come and pick me up? We need to talk.”

“Yes, I am serious.”

“Yes, I need your help.”

“Stop gloating.”

“You are so immature.”

“I will tell you when you arrive. Oh and bring Helena.”

“Why? Oh for f*ck sake. Stop being so insecure.”

“No, I don’t want to simply see her. I think she might be able to help me with this new interesting little problem I have.”

“Oh for f*ck sake, I didn’t mean that.”

I hung up the phone.

She should have never told him about our little rendezvous after she found him with Anna. This so-called new “not playing games” thing they have going on is going to be the end of me.

I sat down on the road. Waiting. This could take some while.

After what seemed like hours, Darien’s shiny new Ferrari came to a grinding stop 10 cm from my legs.

I rolled my eyes. Was this guy ever going to grow up?

They sat in the car, both grinning like Cheshire Cats. Oh they love this. I am going to hear this for ages.

The doors of the car opened, flying up. I grinned, the drama of these two.

J*sus, what a preposterous car.
