Chapter One, Part Four

     She was back at the village. But instead of seeing people swarming around and going about their daily business like last time, all she saw was a dead decayed place with ashes everywhere. The bodies were burned and it was hard to tell if they were bodies at all, but her nose alone could answer that question for her. Zeera gazed confused walking around. She saw this place a few days ago, so what the hell happened that turned it to this disaster?!

     She realized this was just a dream and nothing more. Maybe her sick mind wanted to see a happy place destroyed. It wouldn’t be the first sick thought from her and neither would it be the last. Zeera kicked an arm out of her way and then she kicked a leg. “It’s like…soccer…”she mused sickly kicking a toe. It flew across the air landing next to a girl. This girl wasn’t dead, but she looked like she wanted to be. It took a moment for Zeera to register this was the girl with the dragon wings. She was the one that was being smacked several times by the old geezer.

     The girl turned to look at her; her blue eyes were as dim as a fog. Zeera felt goose bumps rise across her green skin. She didn’t know why, but the death look in those eyes scared the hell out of her. “You kicked Uncle Wayne,” she said. Her voice was complete monotone.

     “Well, you’re Uncle Wayne is dead,” Zeera said and was surprised to hear the harshness in her voice. “So I guess he don’t mind if I kicked his toe or even his own head.”

     The girl just stared at her. “You wouldn’t want me to kick your dead carcass around if you were dead just because you’re a demon.”

     Zeera took a step back. She hadn’t expected to hear that, but she wasn’t surprised. “If I’m dead, I’m dead. Can’t stop the future and can’t change what happened. So I wouldn’t care if you spit in my mouth for that matter.”

     The girl nodded, it looked like her mind was working on her words. “Why are you here?”

     Zeera laughed, “It’s my dream, so I should be asking you why I’m standing with a bunch of dead bodies and talking to one.”

     The girl smiled, it was unnatural and brought more goose bumps up Zeera’s skin. “The dragons aren’t on steroids, you know.”

     “Wait…what?”Zeera asked confused.

     “You heard me.”

     “Well, you’re confusing me!”She stammered.

     The girl nodded again, grinning that inhuman smile. “You’re vampyres aren’t your real enemy either.”

     Zeera’s face dropped hearing those words. No longer holding surprise or fear on her face, Zeera lunged for the girl grabbing her by the collar and forcing her face into hers. “What are you talking about! God damn tell me everything you bloody know!”

     The smile never faltered and her blue dim eyes now danced with white flames. “You’ll find out in time. You’ll see me again and I’ll see you for the first time. But those dragons, they weren’t on steroids.”

     “What do you mean!?”She yelled shaking the girl over and over again. “What do you god damn mean!?”
