Everyone was on their feet instantly, looking ready for a fight. Oops, did I say something wrong? I thought to herself, managing to hide a grin.
" Bitch!"
" No you're not--"
" What do you mean--"
" That's not funn--"
" Yeah right!"
The whole circle of Daybreakers were yelling one comment after another at me, until it all just amounted to noise. Unbearably annoying noise.
" THAT'S ENOUGH!," I screamed verbally and telepathically, simultaneously standing up as a vase broke from her scream.
Everybody either winced or froze.
And who said that sirens aren't dangerous, I thought to myself with grim humor.
Thierry was the first one to regain control," What do you mean that you're here to stop the war?," he asked tersely.
" Look, can everybody just sit down first?," I asked in an irritated voice. Slowly, the Daybreakers sat, but not without glaring at me. Ash snarled, Quinn and Rashel gave a withering look, and Poppy stuck her tongue out at me. Without thinking, I stuck her tongue out back at Poppy, a childish gesture, really. Regaining myrself, I saw Thierry giving me a look.
" Sorry, couldn't help myself," I smiled, then began to explain," Look, what happens in this world affects what happens to my people, okay? And despite what you think of what would happen if your side won this so-called Millenium battle," I gave everyone a long look," Everything will still end in bloodshed. Chaos will reign this world, and my people will be destroyed because of the corrupted balance."
" So you see," I sighed," I can't let the Night World and Daybreakers wage war against each other."
I flopped against the comfort of the loveseat, thinking that everyone finally understood my assigned mission. Finally my throat can rest, I thought to myself in relief.
Wrong.
" But why you?," Thea asked.
AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!! my mind screamed to myself, why can't you let me have my moment of silence???????? Stop asking questions!!!!!!!
Instead, I answered in a controlled voice that held no hint of the chaotic events happening inside my head," Like I said before, each gaurdian gaurds one aspect of this world. My sister Celes, for instance, gaurds the aspect of flora. Most of my sisters are gaurdians of peaceful aspects of the earth. But I do not. I, under unfortunate circumstances, ended up being the gaurdian of the balance, Yin and Yang, whatever you humans and Night Worlders call it," I rolled my eyes then continued," I represent my people, the Sisters of Seriana. I'am basically the only one of my species that take the time to dwell with... the outside world," I chose my words carefully, catching myself in time before I called them something unappropriate, further agitating them," My people call me the Executioner," my lips formed a smile, but my eyes remained dull and bleak. Instantly, my mood sombered down ," And that is what I'am, an executioner. I'am sent to destroy and dispose the very source that causes inbalance when the time comes," I viewed the people around me with sudden grief in my eyes," That is why right now I'am begging you, begging you to please stop fighting," Several Daybreakers opened their mouth to speak, but I spoke again," If you don't, I will be forced to kill you, kill all of the Daybreakers and the other Night Worlders, wiping out another race, another specie from this world ," my voice was a bitter whisper," Destroying the very source of inbalance."
Silence settled in.
I didn't know what possessed me to loose control and show my emotions behind the carefree mask I wore, but what was done, was done.
Poppy and Ash looked like they were about to challenge my comment about destroying them, but the look in my eyes shut them up. Pain. Raw and untamed. I had wiped out so many ancient races because of the threat that they had caused to the balance, far too many to remember them all. But the echoes of their people's screams for forgiveness and pain and the terrified look in their eyes before I killed them still haunted me throughout the ages.
The door opened.
I looked up. I noticed that most of the Daybreakers sighed in relief. Because they couldn't bear my pain? I wonder. I heard some of them gasp at who or what was standing in the doorway.
What now?
I leaned to the side of my seat, looking past Thierry, until my eyes settled on the floor, staring at black Nike's. My gaze slid upwards, taking in the baggy blue jeans and black wifebeater that showed off the well toned muscles of his male form. My eyes finally rested on his face.
His electric blue eyes hinted laughter at me.
I wrenched my gaze from the ... man. Despite his human-like appearance, he was neither human nor Night Worlder. I could feel it in his aura and presence. There was something evil and dark that lurked in the depths of his electric blue eyes. I frowned, and turned questioning eyes to Thierry who had on a grim smile.
" Lilith ," Thierry started ," This is Julian, the chosen representative for the Shadow World."
At the mention of the Shadow World, my sight was wavered by the fury and hate that exploded in my mind.
Self control self control self control...
But it was too late, an emerald ball of pure energy and power flew from my fingertips, aimed at the so-called Julian's pretty little head.
