The Potential of Welor Clemens

"Hello?" The teenage girl shouts as she walks into the dark abandoned factory. Earlier she had received a phone call from a friend telling her to meet him here at nightfall, which was strange because the factory has been abandoned for years. It had already become home to rodents, as well as homeless people and vagrants. Strangely though, there weren't any of those to be seen tonight. The girl kept walking further into the factory, still not finding her friend.
"Xavier? Where are you?" the girl called out.
A voice from nowhere asnwered the call. "I'm right here, Welor."
A young man stepped out from the shadows. Welor saw the man, then with instant recognition breathed a sign of relief, followed by a barrage of questions.
"What happened? Why did you want me to meet you here? We could have just met in Chrome like we usually do."
Xavier looked at her with a sad look on his face.
"What's wrong? Are you okay?" she continued.
He stared at her for a few moments, then he finally spoke, "I'm so sorry Welor. I didn't want this to happen." Welor gave him a confused look then she turned around and saw another man right behind her. His face was like something she's never seen before. His yellow eyes appeared sunken in due to huge ridges on his face, he also had fangs. The creature swiftly grabbed Welor and sunk his teeth into her neck.


Welor Clemens shot up from her bed. She looked at her alarm clock and saw that it was time to get ready for school.
"Ay, dios mio," she groaned as she rubbed away the sleepyness from her eyes.
Welor has been having the same dream for a couple of weeks now. She didn't know what it meant. She got up and headed to the bathroom. When she opened the door to her room, she saw her mom standing in the doorway.
She let out a startled gasp, "Mami, you scared me." then put her hand on her chest, "What are you doing just standing there anyway?"
Her mom looked at her, "I was just about to wake you up. You're gonna be late for school."
Welor closed the door to her room then frustratedly replied, "I know, why do you think I'm up?"
She walked towards the bathroom and her mom called after her, "Welor, estas bien? You look a little bit jumpy."
Welor turned around and smiled at her mom. She didn't mean to snap at her like that but she was still feeling a little shaken up about the nightmare she'd had.
"Yes, I'm fine. I just had a bad dream that's all."
Her mom nodded and asked, "The same dream you've been having it for a while now? I think somebody is trying to tell you to be careful."
Welor sighed. Her mom is always telling her to be careful, don't talk to strangers, and blah blah blah.
"Mami, I'm about to be seventeen years old. Besides we live in Sacramento and it's not like this place is that bad."
Her mom frowned, "Fine. Just be careful. I don't want anything to happen to my only daughter."
Welor walked over to her mom and gave her a hug.
"Don't worry. I'll be okay. Nothing is going to happen to me."
Her mom smiled, "Okay, now you're really gonna be late. Go get ready for school and tell your dad to give you some money for lunch."
Welor groaned, "Esta bien!"
She went into the bathroom, took a brush and ran it through her long brown hair. Even though she told her mom otherwise, Welor was still worried about the dream. She knew that the creature in her dream was a vampire. Welor put the brush down and thought to herself, Vampires don't exist. Do they?

Here is the second chapter. I hope you guys like it.

September 2001
Sacramento, California

Welor walked up to the courtyard of her high school. It was late September so everyone was adjusting to the new school year. Everywhere she looked, Welor saw students ranging from awkward freshmen to more experienced seniors, hanging out with their cliques. As she reached the entrance doors to the high school, Welor bumped into one of her friends. "Veronica hi," she greeted.
"Hey Welor," the young girl replied as she looked Welor up and down."Girl, I love your outfit. Where did you get it?"
Welor smiled at her," Mija, you know I buy my gear at DEMO."
Veronica Nickson was Welor's best friend but they didn't always get along. When they met in ninth grade, Veronica had too much of a big mouth that caused her and Welor to get into a fight. After a few punches and kicks were thrown, they realized they had a lot in common so they've been best friends since.
Veronica gave back a smile but it quickly disappeared, "Did you hear what happened last night? Serena, that girl with the unibrow, was found dead at downtown."
Welor let out a gasp. Even though her and Serena weren't exactly friends, she still felt very bad."Ay dios mio, I can't believe it. Was it gang related?"
"I don't think so," Veronica continued, "The police found her with some kind of bite mark on her neck. They are trying to keep it quiet. I think that some hyena broke out of the zoo or something."
Welor stopped in her tracks, Bite marks on her neck, she thought, It's just like in my dream. Could she have been killed by a vampire? Welor snapped out of it, No, that's ridiculos. She continued the conversation with Veronica. "So if the cops are trying to keep it quiet, how come you know about it?"
Veronica shrugged, "My brother is a cop remember?"
Welor rolled her eyes, "For the last time. Working in the copy room doesn't make your brother a real cop, Veronica."

The girls entered the school and went to their lockers which are right next to each other. Unfortunately, there was a couple blocking it with their make out session.
"I can't believe this," Welor put her hands on her hips."Excuse me! Is it possible that you guys put on this live sex show somewhere else?"
The couple didn't budge so Veronica got mad and yelled out, "She said move, bitch!" then pushed the couple out of the way.
Welor laughed and opened her locker. She then hears Veronica say, "Look who's coming this way." Welor looked down the hall and saw a young man wearing a white and black bandana over his braided hair, an oversized white T-shirt, and a pair of black jeans that must be two sizes bigger than he's supposed to wear. Welor gave off a frustrated sigh. Xavier Collazo has been trying to get with her ever since tenth grade. She liked him as a friend but that is it. Veronica looked at him, "I still can't believe he joined that gang, The Night Kings"
Welor took a deep breath, "Yeah me either."
The Night Kings was a gang that was formed a little over a year ago. They were really exclusive. The weird thing is that the members of the gang are never heard from again after they get initiated. Xavier hasn't been initiated yet, but he was really looking forward to it.
Xavier leaned up against Welor's locker and smiled at her, "Hey ma. You know what I was thinking?"
"That you need to go up-top on whoever braided your hair?" Veronica interrupted.
Xavier glared at Veronica, "If you don't shut your biscuit ass up. Why don't you go to the dollar store and get yourself a new weave?"
Welor shook her head. Here they go again, she thought.
Veronica ran her fingers through her jet black shoulder length hair, "My hair is not weave. This is all mine right here."
Xavier laughed, "Of course it's yours. You bought it."
Veronica made a disgusted face and closed her locker. "I'm gonna tell my brothers to kick your ass."
Xavier felt amused at that remark, "Tell your punk ass brothers. I'm not scared."
Veronica crossed her arms and turned to Welor, "I'm gonna go to class. I'll see you in gym, okay?"
Welor smiled, "Allright, I'll see you later."
Veronica returned the smile but sneered at Xavier."Dumbass," she said as she walked past him.
Xavier ignored her comment and turned to face Welor, "I was wondering if you wanted to come to Chrome tonight and chill."
Welor felt a little uncomfortable talking to Xavier alone ever since she started having those dreams about him leading her to her death. She closed her locker, "I'm not going to the nightclub on a school night. Besides, you know that we're just friends."
Xavier rolled his eyes and said, "Why are you still fighting this? You're a sexy puertorican mami and I'm a sexy puertorican papi. We're like meant to be."
Welor smiled at Xavier's attempt to flatter her.She thought he was cute even if he had bad pick up lines sometimes. "Is that the best you can do?"
He laughed, "Okay, that was wack. Come on, we don't even have to go together. We can just meet there," he pleaded.
Welor thought about it for a minute.
Xavier interrupeted her by saying, "You can bring your friend, biscuit head, if you want."
Welor laughed and folded her arms, "Esta bien. I'll be there."
Xavier smiled, "That's wassup. I'll see you tonight." He gave her a kiss on the cheek and walked to class.
Welor sighed and bumped her head on the locker, What have I gotten myself into?

 

[Edmund Blackadder]

awesome second part my friend.
I love the Night Kings, its a great gang name, and the two characters, Veronica and Xavier are cool.
I look forward to more.🙂

 

[Angelic Slayer]

Ooooh yay! Love the addition VG! You've got great characters lining up, and I'm already loving their relationships. Like Veronica and Welor having these really odd similarities (just their two personalities and watching them interact is just really entertaining for the reader🙂) and the whole thing with Xavier is great.

"Why are you still fighting this? You're a sexy puertorican mami and I'm a sexy puertorican papi. We're like meant to be."

LOL that one actually made me laugh so hard, was priceless! Super job! 😀

 

[Lyri]

really starting to like this. the line about Veronica's brother working in the copy room was just awesome!
i like the characters you've got going, and i can't wait to see how they all work together. and like Al said, the Night Kings is a great name.

i can't wait to see where you're gonna go with this!

 

[Angel's vision]

*good* i like it!

Can't wait for more!

 

[VisionGuy]

Here's chapter 3. Tell me what you all think.

"I can't believe you're actually going on a date with Xavier," Veronica said to her friend as she lay on the bed reading a magazine.
Welor pulled out a black halter top from her closet, "I'm not going on a date with him. You're coming with me, remember? We're just gonna hang out."
Veronica rolled her eyes as she turned a page from the magazine, "That's what you think. Xavier probably thinks he's getting some ass tonight."
Welor looked at the halter top she was holding, "Then I'd better rethink the outfit."
Veronica got up from the bed and took the top from Welor's hand, "Don't worry. I'll find you something that wont provoke any unwanted humping."
"Thanks," Welor sat on the bed. "Veronica, do you think that...vampires are real?" She didn't know any other way to bring up the subject of blood sucking monsters.
Veronica turned to her friend and gave her a confused look. "No, of course not," she finally answered, "What brought this on?"
Welor gave off a nervous sigh, "It's just that thing with Serena. She was bitten on her neck. Don't you find that weird?"
Veronica laughed, "I told you she was bitten by a hyena."
Welor got up from her bed, "We don't even have a zoo. And it's not just that. I've been having a dream too."
Veronica turned away from the closet and listened to her friend, "What kind of dream?"
Welor decided to leave out the fact about Xavier luring her there. Veronica wan't too fond of him already and if she found out he was responsible for her best friend's dream death, she'd be even more pissed at him."Well I go into this abandoned factory and a vampire attacks me."
Veronica smiled at Welor, "Girl, some dreams don't mean anything. Last night I dreamt that I was in charge of planning your wedding to Ja Rule."
Welor laughed. Veronica always found some way to cheer her up. Even if sometimes it was unintentional "You're right. I'm just being stupid." She quickly changed the subject, "So did you find me an outfit yet?"
"Yes, I have the perfect one right here," Veronica pulled out a brown sleeveless shirt and some jeans. "This would go great with your brown belt and boots. You're gonna look, how do you say it? Mucho caliente."
"Muy caliente," Welor corrected, "And you're right. That's hot."
Veronica handed the outfit to Welor, "Yup, and yet it wont tempt Xavier to make a move. And if he does, I'll cut his ass."
"Veronica, I want you to behave yourself tonight," Welor demanded. " I don't want you to get thrown out by the bouncer like last time."
"Don't worry," Veronica reassured her friend, "Tonight, we're gonna have fun."

The hip hop music filled the dance floor as Welor and Veronica walked into Chrome. The nightclub was the best place to go if you wanted to hang out and have a good time. It was very popular with everyone at the high school. Tonight, it was filled with all kinds of teenagers and young adults. Some were dancing while others, like Xavier, were sitting at the lounge conversating.
"So you finally got Welor to go on a date with you, huh?" asked Xavier's friend as he took a sip from his soda.
"Actually, she thinks we're just gonna hang out," Xavier replied. "So I need you to do me a favor, Felix."
Felix took a deep breath. Everytime Xavier needed a favor, Felix was the one who wound up getting the short end of the straw. "What do you need?"
Xavier looked around to make sure nobody was listening and he leaned forward. "Welor's gonna bring Veronica. I was wondering, if you could keep her entertained on the dance floor, while Welor and me have some alone time."
Felix jumped back in shock, "Veronica?! You want me to dance with Sacramento's evil bitch queen?! Hell naw!"
"Come on man," Xavier pleaded. "This is the only chance I have to spend some time with Welor. Tonight could be the night that we become an official couple."
Felix gave in, "Fine, I'll tame Veronica for you. What do you like about Welor so much anyway? You could probably have any girl in school."
"She's not just any girl," Xavier smiled. "She's more than that. I love everything about her. The way she dresses, the way she wears her hair, the way she makes fun of people who don't wear brand name clothes, and the way she laughs at my bad pick up lines. She's perfect in every way"
Felix gave his friend a puzzled look. "That is the gayest thing I ever heard."
Xavier cleared his throat and picked up his can of soda, "She's got a banging body too."
"Yeah, she really does," Felix laughed and gave Xavier a high five.
"Hey guys," Xavier heard a voice from behind him greet them. He turned around to see Welor and Veronica.
Xavier got up from his chair and looked Welor up and down. She looks amazing, he thought.
Felix leaned in close to Xavier and whispered in his ear, "Damn, I forgot how fine she was."
Veronica leaned in and whispered in Welor's ear, "Look at the way he's staring at you. Just say the word, and I'll take out my mase and spray his ass."
Xavier walked over to Welor, "You look beautiful."
Welor smiled nervously, "Thanks. Veronica picked out my outfit."
Xavier looked at Veronica who was glaring at him, "Hey you made it. That's great." He then turned around and signaled Felix with his eyes to take Veronica somewhere else.
Felix took the hint, "Hey Veronica. You want to dance?"
"Don't think I don't know what's going on here," Veronica said, "Xavier probably came up with some plan so that he and Welor can be alone."
Xavier gave Welor a nervous smile, "Girl you know I don't roll like that."
"Well I'm not going anywhere, I'm staying right here." Veronica crossed her arms sat on one of the chairs.
Felix got annoyed and said, "You know what, you can stay here if you want. I'm gonna go go find me some other fine ass girl to dance with. I'll see ya'll later."
Welor turned away and headed toward the exit of the club. "This was a bad idea. I'm gonna go"
Xavier called out after her, "Welor, wait!" but she didn't listen. He turned to Veronica, "See what you did? This is all your fault. If you would've kept your big mouth closed, she wouldn't have left."
Veronica angrily got up from her chair, "My fault? I'm just trying to look out for my friend. Do you think I'm gonna let her get hurt by some no good gangster?"
"I don't care what you or anybody else thinks," Xavier shouted. "I really like her so you're just gonna have to deal with it!" He turned away from Veronica and walked towards the exit.

Outside, Welor took out her cell phone to call for a ride home, I can't believe I agreed to come here tonight, she thought to herself. Just then, someone puts their hands over her mouth. She tries to scream but hardly any sound comes out. The guy drags Welor into a nearby alley. Before she can see the assailant's face, she bites into his hand and stomps on his foot causing him to scream in pain. Welor tries to run away but the guy grabs her and pins her against a wall. "Oh my God!" she exclaimed as she stares into the eyes of a vampire.

 

[Angelic Slayer]

EEK!!! VG!!!!!! COME OOONNNNNN!!! That's just MEAN lol. Anyway, AWESOME chapter! I love the whole scene with Xavier and Felix just before the girls arrived, very funny and seems realistic for their characters. Also again, like what you have going on with Welor and Veronica, they make a great pair. HOWEVER, jeez dude! The ending? You're killing me! Haha, seriously though, needing an update soon! 'Cause that's just come onnnnnnnn! 😉 Great work! :thumbs:

 

[Edmund Blackadder]

See, what was you worried about. Its great. I have to agree with AS, Felix and Xaviers part and i love the line '"Veronica?! You want me to dance with Sacramento's evil bitch queen?! Hell naw!"', its great in the fic how you are showing a decent appreciation of relationships and conveying that well.

Though, i must point out, more to AS then yourself, as the fic is still new and in an early stage, anything is still realistic to the characters as they arestill being moulded, so i wouldn't mind a little more play on them, giving a larger scope of character traits, before you fall into one of the pittfalls many fan ficers do, turn well grafted characters into 2 dimensional portrayals of characters we have seen a million times(so far you havent by the Way Jess!)

OK, well i look forward to more as the end left me wanting it😉

 

[Angel's vision]

I like that intruduction to her destiny ....can't wait for the plot to unravel on the baddies..keep it up.

 

[VisionGuy]

Here's the next installment. Sorry it took so long but I lost a friend recently and I didn't really feel like writing. But I'm feeling better now. I hope you guys like it.


Welor struggled to loosen herself from the vampire's tight grip. "Let me go!" she shouted.
The vampire gave Welor a sinister smile, "Don't worry. This will only hurt a little bit."
Welor screamed as the vampire lunged for her neck. Before he can sink his teeth into her neck, someone tackles the vampire onto the ground.
"Somebody needs to teach you how to treat a lady," Xavier said as he put up his fists ready to fight, "I'm somebody."
The vampire got up and snarled at Xavier, "You just made your last mistake."
Xavier's eyes widened as he saw the vampire's demonic facade, "Damn, what the hell?!"
The vampire grabbed Xavier and slammed him against a wall.
Welor picked up a pipe from the ground and ran towards the vampire, "Leave him alone!" she said as she swung the pipe at his head.
The vampire swiftly turned around and caught the pipe before it hit him, "Don't worry. You're next babe." He then kicked Welor in the stomach causing her to fall to the ground. He turned to Xavier, only to recieve a fist to the jaw.
"Come on punk ass. I'm ready for your ugly behind now," Xavier said as he caught his breath.
The vampire rubbed his jaw and growled, "You're gonna be sorry for that you..." Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks and stared at Xavier. "This is your lucky day." The vampire then ran out of the alley.
"Yeah, you better run!" Xavier turned around and saw Welor getting up from the ground holding her stomach. He ran over to her and helped her up, "Welor, are you allright?"
"Yeah, I'm fine," Welor gave Xavier a hug. "Thanks for coming to my rescue. If it wasn't for you.." she then got teary eyed and turned away so Xavier wouldn't see her.
"Hey, it's okay," Xavier wiped a tear from Welor's face. "I couldn't stand to have anything happen to you."
Welor smiled at him again. She had never seen this side of Xavier before. He was always the guy that was scaring the feshmen into giving him their chocolate milks at lunch. He seemed like a whole different person now. "How did you know I was being attacked?"
Xavier pulled out Welor's cell phone from his pocket. "Well, I followed you because I wanted to apologize for what happened. I found your phone on the ground and heard you screaming. I ran over here to find you being attacked by some circus freak. Who was that guy anyway?"
"It was a vampire." Welor responded. She had never seen one before but she remembered from her dream.
Xavier gave her a puzzled look, "A vampire? How do you know?"
"Well he had a disfigured face, fangs, and he tried to bite me," Welor answered. "It doesn't take a genious to realize what a vampire is."
"But that's impossible," Xavier laughed. "Vampires don't exist."
Welor took a deep breath. She had thought the same thing until tonight. "Well they do."
Xavier held up Welor's cell phone and started waving it back and forth.
"What are you doing?" Welor asked.
"I'm trying to get reception on your shitty ass cell phone. We have to call the police." Xavier kept moving the cell phone but saw that there was still no signal. "Damn, it! I told you not to get Sprint!"
Welor snatched the cell phone from Xavier, "We can't call the police. What are we gonna tell them? That a vampire tried to suck on my neck? They aren't gonna believe us."
Xavier gave off a frustraded sigh, "Well what are we gonna do? We have to tell someone."
Welor thought for a moment. There was really nothing they could do. "Let's just go home. We'll feel better in the morning."
Xavier looked at Welor, "That's it?! Let's go home? You think that when we wake up, vampires are just gonna go poof and everything will be better?" Welor gave him an angry look so he sighed, "Fine, but I'm driving you home. I'm not letting you walk around at night with these things out there.
Welor smiled, "Thanks Xavier."
The two of them walked out of the alley.

"You're back so soon?" a young man, dressed in black and white, turned to see the vampire that had attacked Welor. "I thought you were gonna go kill us some nice little young thing." He leaned on his desk and crossed his arms.
The vampire lowered his head, "I'm sorry Zack. I tried but some punk kid got in the way."
Zack glared at the vampire. "Then why didn't you kill him too? We could have done with two bodies. It's like when you go to McDonalds and they give you an extra milkshake by accident. It's not planned but you take it anyway."
"I was about to kill him," the vampire responded, "but then I saw that he was wearing our gang's black and white bandana. You forbade us from hurting the new recruits remember?"
"Of course I remember, you idiot." Zack smiled and sat behind his desk, "So the hero is part of the Night Kings? That's intresting. I guess he hasn't been initiated yet."
"So when is the initiation?" the vampire asked, "The new recruits are getting anxious to officially be part of our gang."
Zack gave him a charming smile, "It's going to be soon. But first I want you to point out this hero for me the next time we have a meeting. Something tells me he's dying to get initiated early."

 

[Angel's vision]

oooh intregue! intregue! bring it on!
