Clash of the races'

"Oh....they gonna be ok?"


"That long? why'd he show himself now?"

 

"I-I do-don't know..." She whispered, unable to speak much louder as the exhaustion set deeper in.

"They should be, just worn themselves out. Now, let's get going."

 

Mickey picked up Elena and head towards the car

Just relax now...we're taking over."he said grinning"Its Kinda personal now too "

 

Lake followed swiftly after him, now she was out of sight of Elena the worry on her face was so much more apparent. She'd been hoping that damn prophecy had been a lie, a fake, false. Apparently it wasn't, and now her family was in danger. The world was in danger. She couldn't help but think 'Damn supremacist vampires...'

"Yo-You're no-not doing th-this alone..." She croaked. "I've do-done too mu-much to lea-leave no-now... Besides, you're going to need all the help you can get."

 

"Didnt say you couldnt help"he said still grinning"In fact I think you'd be a great help...."


Mickey put Elena in her booster seat and buckled her in,"How oyu holding up?"he asked Hermia

 

"I just ache all over..." She mumbled, weakly rubbing her eyes. Ache was an understatement, it felt like her entire body was throbbing in agony as she'd been running purely on will-power and adrenaline for the last few hours.

Lake sat down in the passenger seat at the front and did up her seat belt quickly. "You just need some rest sweetheart, and a bath would probably help."

 

"I'd listen...Mum know all about this sort of thing"he laughed

 

"From experience more then anything, though I can't say I've ever been running for as long as you must of been sweetheart." Lake smiled understandingly.

"Thank you Mrs Malfoy..." Hermia smiled weakly.

Ocean slid into her seat next to Elena and shut the car door behind her.

 

"Ocean...do you have any clothes that would fight her better than those? or ones that might smell nicer to her?"Mickey asked

 

"Yeah, I guess so." Ocean shrugged. "I'll have a look when we get home. What are you a size ten?"

Hermia nodded slightly.

"Yeah, I'll have plenty of stuff."

 

he smiled"Good."

 

Hermia coughed slightly and wheezed again.

 

"We're not far away."River said

 

"Yeah, just a couple more minutes. If that." Lake agreed with her son. The girl was looking paler and paler by the second. She couldn't help but feel worried, very worried. Lake was a worrier by nature, and she felt an attachment to the girl already. It wasn't very often she met another female werewolf, in fact she'd only ever met one other, and she sensed that perhaps if her life had been different she might of turned out more like Hermia. Stronger willed, in fact just stronger in general.

Hermia nodded weakly to show she'd understood what they'd said, she could feel the throbbing in her head and her muscles had begun to cramp up. Running so fast for so long had been a terrible idea, but she could't have let Danny get away, it would of been a disaster for everyone.

 

"were you the only one tracking him?"

 

Hermia nodded again and closed her large violet blue eyes. The daylight was starting to sting at her retinas a little.

 

"aaaand....we're home."Mickey said

 

"Good." Lake said stepping out of the car door. She walked around to the back doors and opened the one on River's side. "You better move her into the living room or something before she actually passes out."

Ocean opened the door on her side of the door and undid Elena's seat straps for her. "Come on you." She smiled back at her little sister as she climbed out of the car.

 

"Right."River said climbing out the car,then he helped Hermia out.


Elena smiled and climbed out her seat

 

Lake went on up to the front door and unlocked it, she then stepped inside and held it open for the kids and Mickey to go through.

She heaved slightly from the strain of moving, the use of muscles that had been relaxing for the last half hour or so was agonizing.
