2020-08-25 02:16:27In the salon of the seaside manor house, eight scowling Elevenders sat around a long oval table made of cherry wood with dark inlays and burned-in ornaments. It had been in the owner's family for centuries and had seen meetings like this one. Meetings in which dark and threatening secrets were revealed and strategies of attack developed. But today's session, although so similar to the previous ones, was a different story. The conditions had changed. All team members, as well as Ezekiel, his wife Velvet and their eldest son Evrill, were more than aware of this.
"Well, Viktor, I have to be honest, I didn't expect what kind of luggage you had with you when I asked you into my house." Ezekiel said with his calm, deep baritone after giving him a brief update had given. He showed no trace of annoyance, only he furrowed his eyebrows seriously and worriedly as he reached over the table for the hand of his slim, petite wife. It was one of the little gestures, the tiny de

Aurelia:The Huntress Seven Elevender Faces
“An old friend of Julien's works as a driver for the Hegedunen. He apparently mentioned one evening that he had his hands full at the moment with this series of experiments. Julien arranged a meeting, the guy just wants to speak to us personally. He works with his task force in Paris. The day after tomorrow at 11 p.m. he will be waiting for us in a bar. ”Evrill had a satisfied, relaxed smile on his face that showed a row of flawless, pearly white teeth.At last a lifeline in this utter chaos, Aurelia thought as he spoke. In fact, they were in a position where they were almost incapable of acting unless they went all out. It dawned on her that now they had to put everything on one card. And whether they wanted to or not, they couldn't avoid playing a double game. The only way to get the council information was to go back to the lion's den!Viktor raised his voice. "All right! This is the only other lead we have while we are left without the Legion's he

In the end, there was no objection and no one had a better plan. They all felt lost in the chaos of events and were ready to grab any straw that promised even a glimmer of hope. Ezekiel promised to provide them with equipment and to activate further contacts in order to keep asking for the meaning of the stones or anything else useful. After he had promised them several vehicles, his son got up."So if there are only two of you, when you meet Julien's acquaintance, I will join you!" He said firmly, gazing at his parents.His mother clapped her hands over her mouth while mute horror widened her beautiful eyes. However, this immediately gave way to the assertiveness of the lion-like maternal instinct. She had even managed to get her husband, a respected councilor, out of all those wars within the Elevender Terrace, so she was definitely not going to give up on her son."You don't!" She said in a decisive tone that Aurelia hadn't thought of this small, feminine wom

Evrill led them into his study, which was bursting with modern technology, and offered them a seat on the wide leather couch."Can you get us some portable IT equipment?" Asked Aurelia as she walked through the room with the business-like carpeting.Evrill leaned casually against the massive dark desk and smiled confidently. “That shouldn't be a problem!” He propped one arm on the table, with the other he pointed to the back corner, where a lot of equipment was already stored, neatly stowed in suitable transport bags. “By the way, I've already researched the address that Julien gave from the café. It wasn't hard to find, it's a pretty famous dance bar. ”He grinned very satisfied now and she saw through the laboriously calm surface of his demeanor, under which the awakened ardor and pride about his skills peeked out.Pareios seemed delighted. "Wonderful! Who would have thought what you are made of, Ev! ""It's okay, my mother

Do you think the Legion has something to do with it?" Row threw around.Viktor shrugged his shoulders rather helplessly. "If it had been us ... why and for what?"The feeling that there was more to this message than could be seen at first glance, Aurelia just couldn't let go. "Whoever it was must have been technologically well-equipped, things like that are state-of-the-art, you can't just get them down like that!" And he had to have been quick! "Just put it in our collection of mysterious incidents, maybe we'll find more answers in the next few days." She grumbled unsatisfied and then sat down at the table at which Velvet was preparing dinner.She interrupted the thoughtful conversation of her guests by asking everyone to sit down at the table."So sit down, stop all this bad news, now it's time to eat.""Yes, M'am!" Evrill saluted like an officer, which brought him a few more laughs and drove away the discomfort that was in the room.

Her arms passed over a soft sheet while she was still half asleep. She felt the folds of the velvet blanket, but her fingers searched in vain for the warmth of a body that had lain next to her for the night and brought her that incomparably deep sleep. She opened her eyes and looked around.The room was empty, but something was stirring behind the door. Footsteps approached and she heard Pareio's voice saying to someone: "We're coming!"Then the large, white-painted door opened and the object of her longing pushed into the room. His movements were timid and he had fixed his eyes on the full cup in his right hand. He balanced it carefully so as not to spill a drop. When he arrived at the bed, he put the elegantly curved coffee pot down on the bedside table and then turned to her for the first time.“Tomorrow, Sleeping Beauty! Time to get up! ”He sat on the edge of the bed and put a hand on her back as she rolled over to face him.He smelled of

“My mother didn't want me to be in direct line of fire, but she didn't forbid me from doing business. I started an investment firm a few years ago. And as it is in financial circles, the worst gangsters are the ones who walk around in suits and ties. From a certain amount of money, the hegeduns come into play, that's the way it is. And word of success gets around! Could of course have something to do with my grandiose appearance! ”He joked and smiled in amusement.“In any case, it's customary in these circles to do business with pouring parties, hookers, coke, all just toys for these people. There are a lot of sick pigs and sadists among them.When the Hegedun bankers were partying there was sometimes ... let's say 'collateral damage'! At a party like that, to which I was also invited, someone lost his head and stabbed an unruly prostitute with a butter knife. That was my first encounter with federal authorities. I delivered a murderer to them and cle

Slowly she became aware of the scope of what she had heard and the more caustic became the mistrust that none of them had even been remotely aware of these events. She itched in her fingers to call Viktor and let him know, but wasn't sure whether this knowledge in his hands would mean a good weapon or a weak link in the chain, especially since he would face Markus soon. Pareios must have worked that too, because he now leaned over to her new team-mate with great interest."You realize how important this information is?"“Absolutely, so I thought it was right not to peddle it. From my own experience I cannot make it clear enough to you that it is not that difficult as a spy to get hold of secret information. I saw no connection and you also made it clear to me yesterday that it would be better if the other team didn't know too much! ”He shrugged his shoulders in resignation. "Do you think the whole thing is somehow related to the stones?"Aurelia and

She accepted the pain, endured it quietly, felt the guilt and just mourned. Although it was exhausting to deal with these feelings, to let them in and the feelings of guilt made her lips and fingers tremble for a moment, it was far more bearable than it was a few days ago. She sat on the bed, put her hands on her lap and watched in astonishment as they soon came to rest again. It was strange that the self-hatred didn't overwhelm her as it usually did, but she gratefully accepted it, knowing who had caused the change. A big smile stole onto her lips and she had already turned off the light to go to meet her savior.He and Evrill sat in the living room and talked animatedly about the driver they wanted to meet. They both looked up when Aurelia entered the room. Her eyes widened as they studied her appearance. Evrill held back and soon turned back to the map that was spread out in front of them on the small living room table. Pareios got up and came over to her. He put his

Aurelia:The Huntress Information
Dareon sprinted out of his room. As he walked, he tied the bow tie that went with the black tuxedo. He often wore suits when he went on his nightly jaunts and in his long life he had worn every kind of fine thread. Until yesterday he would have said nothing could surprise him anymore. But then Cat showed up and taught him otherwise.It had struck like a comet, into his halfway orderly world and now he had to grapple with unsettling thoughts. About the way she looked at him. How did her skin feel and how comfortable her lips?He hated the way he reacted to her and he wanted to just get in his car and sneak away. But what he said this afternoon was true. He wanted to fix what he had screwed up. And his sudden obsession with this woman had absolutely nothing to do with it!Determined to get tonight off the stage professionally, he turned the corner and reached the stairs to the foyer. His gaze fell on the assembled crew at his feet. Most were wrapped in the dark le
Aurelia:The Huntress Alone
The swinging double door slammed shut and they were alone.Her heart pounded from the unexpected contact with him when he had freed her from Christian's grip. She could still feel the warmth of his body on her back, the firm arm around her stomach, the breath that had brushed her hair. She hadn't been able to classify his reaction and was paralyzed.She stood still now, too, but for a different reason than before. Though she was really determined to act confident, she just wasn't. She wasn't really afraid of Dareon, but the angry look that surrounded him earned her a good deal of respect. Like trying to get close to a cobra. Better not to make sudden movements.Dareon had his broad back to her and was staring at the door as well. Her eyes stayed on her strong shoulders, her fingers tingled. She wanted so much to touch him. But when he turned to her, he looked so upset that she decided to postpone the fulfillment of this wish. She nervously pushed back her hair,
Aurelia:The Huntress Tonight
A little later, Cat was on the way to Ceiling. Xandra and Blaise were also in the car, the former driving.“What's going on between you two? Did something happen today at noon? ”Xandra asked after a while of quiet harmony. Much to Cat's chagrin, there was no need to discuss who 'you two' were. Dareon's behavior in Ferroc's office had been conspicuous enough, and apparently Cat's quick approval of the deal confirmed Xandra's suspicions. Since she already knew that Cat was into the guy, she hardly had to add one and one together."I'd like to know that too ...", Cat only mumbled and that was the truth. She had no clue what was going on in the object of her desire. Why he'd acted like that and then treated her so dismissively. "Dareon behaved quite ... inconsistently ... I can't figure him out.""So there was more to it than his rejection?" "Slightly."Blaise appeared between the two front se
Aurelia:The Huntress Dont worry
"And what did he say?"Cat had barely stepped off the elevator on the third floor when Xandra was already attacking her. Less enthusiastic, she reported without going into details, only that Dareon had refused. Especially the fuck off she left out.An arm came comfortingly around her shoulders. “Oh, that'll be fine. Give me a little time and I'll find someone else who can help you. I promise you, I won't leave you alone with this. "Cat looked into the sincere eyes and she almost came to tears. She couldn't believe that an almost stranger wanted to stand up for her like that. Besides, the idea of honing her gift with someone else didn't make her particularly happy. It should be Dareon. She couldn't get him out of her head and the need for his presence hadn't subsided despite his rejection."No. I'm ... just doing it with him ... "she mumbled to herself, lost in thought, while she thought of the pressure of his hands on her waist. The Elevender at he
Aurelia:The Huntress Chance
Dareon stood in front of a group of Elevender and tried to bring them closer to the benefits of close combat. He had put the people in pairs and was now watching them repeat the exercise he had shown them. It was about contact, because one of the basic rules of this technique was: Once you are close enough to the opponent that he can hit you, you have to forestall him. Therefore, he trained his students to seize control of the fight at this moment, to internalize the techniques in such a way that they forced their will on the opponent from this point on. He was not allowed to play again. At least that was the ideal. Of course it would be a while before his students were ready and he would teach them many other things that could save them from sticky situations.But for today he ended the lesson. He wasn't happy with the results they'd gotten, but wasn't sure if it was due to the ineptitude of his students, or maybe more to his miserable mood.More and more Elevenders h
Aurelia:The Huntress Private
The next morning came too fast for Cat's liking. The rays of the summer sun cheated through the gaps between the curtains that she had drawn up the night before. One of the bright spots of light finally blinded her when the golden ball in the sky had moved a little further, which put an end to her cozy doze. Sighing, she heaved herself out of bed and shuffled into the bathroom to freshen up. In the morning she slept for a long time and could also get a bit bitchy. She took her time and put on makeup again, as she used to wear with her goth look. She found the mascara and cajal she needed behind the mirror over the designer washbasin.In this way she regained a bit of her identity, which had been taken from her again yesterday. She wistfully wished for dark clothes, but then, resignedly, pulled on the forest green sweatshirt dress. It was long, but the length seemed fine. The hem came up just below her knees. She didn't even want to try the jeans, she would have needed a belt
Aurelia:The Huntress Depressed
After an hour in this tiny office, he couldn't take it anymore.Hard to believe, but the room was really losing size. The walls seemed to get closer and closer, it got darker and darker. But maybe the latter was just his eyesight. When a panic attack loomed, he got tunnel vision that was announced by a dark and blurred field of vision. The other signs of it were also raised. His neck felt like an elephant was sitting on it, and his hands and feet went numb. He figured he had about fifteen minutes before snogging the carpet. All the emotions in the room made him dizzy, he had to swallow hard as his stomach rebelled.Roman's inner fear billowed through Slater, his subliminal agony crashing against him like waves in the ocean. They tugged on him and he had to put both legs firmly into the ground to brave the onslaught. If Roman was around, it was worse. Then every smallest nuance of the Puerto Rican's emotional world spilled over to him and the more intensely the other fe
Aurelia:The Huntress Dream
Cat looked around the large room. If that was a hotel, it was probably five stars or something. She was standing right next to the entrance and to the right of her was the bathroom. Then the small hallway opened and widened into a huge room, the sand-colored walls of which were lit by soft skylights. The opposite front of the room was almost completely taken up by a frameless window, only the balcony door at the left end had room.The bed stood with the headboard on the right side, the wall behind it was covered with upholstered fabric in a pale gold tone. Two magnificent reading lamps hung down from above and enabled the separate lighting of both beds in the seductively comfortable double bed.Cat walked over and dropped into the chocolate-brown blankets. She landed face first on heavenly scented, soft pillows. A real boon after she hadn't slept or allowed herself to relax for a while. The exhaustion was not only physical but also mental and left her no peace even now
Aurelia:The Huntress Beyond good and bad
Xandra granted the young woman's wish. She had thought Catlynn Campbell was a fragile, withered branch, but today the young woman had shown amazing strength. After that day that would have blown even the toughest cop, she was still standing upright in Ferroc's office. Although she looked tired and had dark circles down to the back of her knees, her long, thick hair was tousled, the expression on her face was determined. The hand that held out the glass to Xandra did not tremble.After handing out vodka again to everyone involved and each taking a sip, Xandra decided to speak."Listen, Cat. You don't have to decide now whether you want to believe us. You can rest and maybe stay for a while while we try to get to the bottom of your gift. You can move around freely and watch Blackridge and how we live in peace. ""We have more than enough space!" Agreed Ferroc.Cat looked around, then gave them both a quick look. Finally she took a deep breath and nodded. "O
