Victor.”

            “Mi’lord as proclaimed, Lord Victor is unlivable to---”

            “Let me speak to him.” The man pulled his hand over the short woman’s neck.

            “What do you wish to speak to him about?” A man with short blond hair at the end of the hall spoke. He seemed to be wearing the same type of clothing as the man next to the woman.

            “Exposed.” The man let go of the woman’s neck.

            The blonds’ expression changed as he fixed his vest and cleared his throat.

            “Then follow me, Lord Louis.” He called the man by his name.

            He turned around as Louis followed him into a narrow hallway. They passed millions of doors as he leads Louis into ten different hallways. They walked up the stairs as blond male stopped by two tall doors. He knocked twice before entering.

            “Edwin, what have you brought here?” A strange dark voice spoke as they entered the room. Behind a long wooden desk stood a pale male with long black hair and pointy black hat. His light blue eyes followed the men as they entered.

            “Ah, Louis James. Welcome.” He smiled then looked at Edwin on the corner. “Thank Edwin for your service.” The man closed his hands together.

            “Louis, Louis.” He walked in front of the desk and motioned Louis towards the couch. “Please, feel free.”

            Louis seats down on the arm chair next to the couch where the man sat.

            “Do you have what I asked you?”

            “Victor.” Louis says darkly. “We made a careful deal, where’s my part?”

            Victors smile vanished as he pulled out a small black sack and threw towards to Louis as he catches it with his hands.

            “Here is some fur of the beast. I have not caught him but soon I will return with him.” Louis laid down a small glass with dark black fur inside.

            Victor shakes his head making a sound with his mouth. “That was not part of the deal, Louis.”  He looks at Edwin at the back of the room and motions him forward with his figures. Edwin walked out of the room, and then a few minutes later two strong males brought a small girl who seemed to be about fifteen years old. The girl had long black hair loosened down her back, unbrushed. Her eyes widen as she quickly looked at Louis. She grabbed her hands on the chains around her neck.

            “Louis!” She shouted in despair.

            “Emma!” Louis ran towards her but Edwin walked in front of him blocking his way towards the girl.

            “You see, Louis, we found a little secrete about your sister here. Your family is quite interesting.” Victor smiles in the direction of Louis. “She’s a beast just like you.”

            “Let her go!” Louis yells as Victor quickly flew towards the wall as an invisible hand wrapped around Victor’s neck. “I’m the one you want, you always wanted me!”

            “Kill me, Louis and you will never know what happened to your brother.”  Victor spoke between gasps.

            “What did you do to him!?” Louis yells as his grip became more aggressive.

            “Louis, Let him go!” Emma yells trying to free herself from the metal chains around her neck. “Let him go, Louis. It’s not worth it.”

            He moved his hands down looking at his sister’s wide eyes. Victor collapse to the floor gasping for air.

            “Get him.” He breathed.

            The tall guy next to Edwin quickly moved towards Louis. Louis tried defending himself, but none of his powers were affecting the man in front of him.

            “He’s like you, Louis. He can shield things. He’s a mutant, just like you. Edwin is like your sister. Werewolf.” He moved towards Louis who was rapped between a grab. “I will have others like you. Soon I will be like you. I will rule over all of America and the world. Forever!” He laughs.

            “Elsa!” A voice came from behind his laugh. “Elsa!”

            I opened my eyes seeing my room and Catherin seating at my bed looking down at me with wide eyes.

            “Oh, my lord, Elsa. You almost gave me a heart attack.” She touched her chest.

            I looked around then at her again, I pulled myself into a sitting position quickly noticing the sweat running down my arms.

            “What happened?” I asked looking up at her.

            “It looks like you have a fever. Stay here today. Call me if you need anything, I’m leaving you the car.” She says.

            I nod as she leans forward and kisses my forehead. She gets up and walks towards the door. Catherin disappears through the door as I hear the door shut close shortly afterwards.  

            After she left, I took a quick shower and removed all bedsheets from my bed replacing them with new ones. I grabbed my laptop and sat on my bed as I type down the name of the boy in my dreams, Louis James. His face appears in an old painting. I found evidence that he actually did exist. 

            He grew up on a farm in Tennessee in 1703. He “disappeared” in 1719 when he just turned seventeen years old. His younger sister Emma was only eighteen when they found her dead on the side of the road in 1722. His older brother Jacob disappeared in 1718, a year before Louis disappeared. They never found Jacob or Louis.

            This man was real and I dreamed about him. He was a mutant and I think I am one too. I don’t understand why I dreamed of him. He seemed like an answer to my problems. I got down his address in Tennessee, maybe I’ll give his place a visit, if it still exists.

            When I searched Victor, I couldn’t find him, because I didn’t know his last name. I only knew that he was a very important man back in the 1700s. I needed more than a dream. I printed out some pictures of Louis, his sister and his brother. I also found out that James family was big.

            His parents had twelve kids but only four lived to old age. Between them, Louis, Emma and Jacob were the youngest. His father ran away with another woman when Louis was only ten years of age. After that most his family broke apart. Maybe his father didn’t run away, maybe he was forced to runaway from his family because of a secret.

            A knock on my living room window make me jump. When I looked towards the window, Seth smiled and motioned towards the door. I shut the laptop closed and walked to open the door for Seth.

            “Hey, you okay?” Seth asks.

            “Yea. I was just a little sick today.” I smiled.

            “Is there something wrong?” He asks looking at my expression. I waved him in and sat down by the couch.

            I told him about my dream and what I have found on the computer. Seth’s expression was neutral, and I couldn’t figure out what he was thinking.

            “Well that’s a huge coincident.” He finally says.

            “A big one.” I breathed. “I need more answers.”

            “What you thinking of doing?”

            “I don’t know.”

            “Maybe you should search some of his family members. To see what they know about their ancestors.”

            “Maybe.” I smiled. An idea popped into my head and I needed some help with it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

{Chapter 12}

 

 

 

            “You what?” I stood up from my seat looking down at Catherin.

            “It’s only three weeks, Elsa. It won’t kill you in school.” Catherin says calmly.

            “You want me to just pack up my bags and leave with you for three weeks to Japan!?”  I emphasized.

            “This is a great opportunity, for me. I don’t want to leave you here all by yourself for a month.” She says, eyes widen and confused.

            “Yea, it is a good opportunity for you, Catherin. So go head. I’m seventeen years old. I can stay here by myself, I won’t die.” I tell her.

            “I-I.” Catherin breathes. “I just think you’re too young, Elsa.”

            “You moved out when you were only eighteen, Catherin.”

            “That’s because I was going to college.”

            “Still, this isn’t about me. It’s about you.” I mumbled.

            She breathes pulling her hands over her mouth. I sat down and pulled her hand in between mine. I looked up at her and smiled.

            “Go head. I’ll be fine, Catherin. I promise to call you everyday and tell you how I’m doing. Go, this is your chance. Don’t let me keep you from it.”

            She smiled and touched my hands with her other hand.

            “You sure about this?”

            “I’m positive.” I chuckled.

            “Alright, then. But you have to call me everyday. If you miss one day I’ll go insane.”

            I nod and hugged her tightly.

            “Now, I’m leaving on Saturday. I’m going to start packing.” She says as she starts planning walking out of the kitchen.

 

            School passed by quickly on Friday. Catherin gone a little insane with shopping and everything she needed before she left to Japan. I could tell that she was happy and this was a great opportunity to become someone she always wanted to be. Lucy came over later that night, she showed me some of the stuff she was going to wear at the party. She picked out three outfits, one for the photos, one for the real party and one for dancing. The next day Catherin was leaving at four, two hours before Lucy’s party started.

            “Alright. I’m guessing this is it?” Catherin says as she finished getting her tickets on the front desk of the airport. “Oh, Honey. I’m going to miss you so much.” She hugs me.

            “You sound like mom.” I joked.

            “I know. But I really mean it though.” She laughs. She looked at her things and pulled out a paper folded from her bag. “Here are some things you need to buy for the house. If this runs out. I left you some money in the cookie jar in the kitchen. At the bottom of the page are some numbers you can reach me in Japan. I circled my cell phone number at the bottom. But please, please, call me.”

            “Alright. I will. Now go before you miss her flight.” I say picking up the piece of paper from her hand. 

            “Alight.” She smiles. “Come here.” She hugs me tightly as I hugged her back.

            “Bye.” I waved as she made her way past the line. She looked back and blows me a kiss. I smiled and pretended to catch it with my hand and send it to my heart.

            I walked back to the black BMW she officially gave me yesterday. I drove back home to get ready for the party.

            I pulled on a tight black semi-formal dress and slipped on sliver high heel sandals. I pulled some jewelry on and picked up my small bag on the counter placing my cell phone and some cash in it. I pulled my hair back and inserted a small flower on the side of my hair. I drove to Lucy’s party, when I got there a lot of people were outside by a pink carpet waiting for Lucy to show up.

            “What’s up?” Connor says standing next to me as I reached the pink carpet.

            “Hey, look at you.” I smiled. Connor was well dressed.

            “You look beautiful tonight.” He smirks and pulled out his hand as I give him my hand.

            “Thank you. You don’t look bad yourself.” I compliment him.

            Everyone suddenly starts yelling and shouting as a white limo pulls in front of the pink carpet. Lucy comes out of the car wearing a pink designer ball gown, her hair was up as some fell down her face with curls to the side. She looked beautiful and very happy. She smiled and waved as a lot of people snapped photos of her. When we were all inside, she took some pictures with people and then some with me and Connor.

            “You look gorgeous.” I smiled.

            “What she
