They were prodded with the spears through the dense forest all the way to a well blended in camp, the only thing that would have given it away otherwise was a campfire, but it was not burning yet.
Inside this camp they were surrounded by more men with no shirts, spears and machetes in hand and your occasional woman wearing strange burlap dresses."Stand here!" The leader of the party said and disappeared into the crowd of at least twenty, they all glared at them, it was clear no one was happy about their presence.Then the leader returned with a short woman with him, she wore a cloak and had a mask over her mouth, only her dark green eyes were visible, but when she stopped in front of the three her eyes widened to Rebecca.Rebecca could feel she was not an Alpha, but something about her body language, the aura around her stated respect is due, there was something extremely different about her.The Luna then scanned the faces, and they fell on Danté beA worthy opponent, that was one thing Danté always wanted to find, or was it more worthy prey as a hunter? For years he has gone about killing the scraps of vampires, dreaming about werewolves and what it would be like to face one, he just never thought he'd stand here facing the very Tala herself, the first ever wolf queen.He needed a plan, clearly the merciful Tala Tamaska was a queen long gone and Vladimir now a fitting addition to her name, standing in that leather chest piece that had her entire belly open and the loin piece to cover her there just enough, leaving the entire length of those toned legs exposed, flexible and mobility focused attire, Danté knew it wasn't at all to boast her athletic body."My my hunter, you can certainly wash a woman with that gaze" Tala said."Danté this is not the time to gawk over my mother!" Rebecca yelled."Wasn't gawking dammit! I was assessing her!""What have you assessed then?" Tala asked.
—"Mom, why is your skin so smooth and daddy's is so rough?"Kaylee had to laugh "Its because mommy is a girl sweety, and daddy is a boy""Why should his skin be so rough compared to yours?""Because boys are tougher than girls sweetheart, they are there to protect us""Protect?""Yes, remember Danté, one day you will meet that special girl, she will almost be like mommy and daddy, you will love her very much""Like a girlfriend?"Kylee looked at Hector surprised, he was chopping wood but heard that and stopped."Hector!?""I didn't tell him that! He must have figured that out!""I heard an older boy say it to his friend" Danté said.Kaylee sighed "Very well, then when you meet this girl Danté, I want you to promise me you'll protect her""Like I'm supposed to protect you mom?""Yes... And I showed you what to do right? I've shown you the special gift you have"—&mdash
Cold blooded animals don't like winter, many go into hibernation and sleep it out, Melany on the other hand discovered heat was never a necessity to her after she became a vampire, but unfortunately to her meal ticket Hank, that's a different story.As they waded through the forests of winter stricken Alaska he fell behind, she never thought about warm clothes, never needed it."Come Hank! Once we reach the camp there will be a fire for you to warm up with!" she called but heard the thud as he dropped.She sighed and turned around, the man lied on the ground in fetal position and shivered uncontrollably."Hank! Get up!""I... C-can't"She walked over and bent next to him, felt his skin, ice cold, felt his heart, slow, very slow, to her knowledge hypothermia was about to kick in."Sorry then Hank, you served your purpose" she said lifting him and sank her fangs into his neck, the blood she got from him was cool, not the warmth it should be, she's gl
"Glad I'm on her side" Danté said and looked at Rebecca, her smile warmed to him."Yeah""My deepest sympathy to Villa" he said looking down "It must hurt a lot""You know the feeling right?" She asked."I do""Then we both lost, I guess we should move ahead and focus on the problem, so more people won't die" she said sadly."I agree" he said touching her shoulder "Maybe, you can learn to know Tala?"Rebecca shook her head "She's too focused on the enemy"Danté watched Tala hand out her speech, the plan of attack, the group of thirty at least listening intensively."To think, she didn't get the opportunity to be a mother?"Rebecca looked up at Tala, it was a sad thought indeed, she then looked at Alister "Sir?""Yes?" He asked also standing and listening to Tala."Please protect her?"Alister looked at Danté, then sighed rubbing his eyes "As you wish princess..." He was cut off.There wa
Rebecca was on her feet but the strength Ray had made Danté stagger back and fall when he parted them."Enough""Dad! I just wanted to say goodbye""Well you have now" he said closing his arms around her waist from behind and lifted her, she squirmed uncomfortably but Ray only spread his wings."Some day I'll come hunter, so live your life as you wish, as best you can, next time we meet I'll end you" he said and flew off.Danté watched the two go high and disappeared against the starry sky, then sighed looking around.Finally out of the mess he found himself in a position where he didn't know what to do, so he checked the stars and found a compass, then headed south following the sand.He brushed his lips, that was a nice kiss, on the night she compelled him the alcohol was in the lead and he felt both of them were guilty to a degree for being intoxicated, but now, her kiss was just as intoxicating.He came around the bend
The city of Cape town, they called it the mother city even if the capital was far north inland, yet still this place boomed with movement even at this time of the night.Danté stood watching a restaurant, there a sweet couple was chatting away happily, already two wine bottles stood empty as the waiter brought a third, perfect targets for what he needs now.He timed it well, on the table in front of them was their cellphones, and he needed one.The lady stood up probably to go relieve herself, as she entered Danté walked over, he pretends to trip and fell against the table but in that split second the man looked at him with his drunken eyes Danté slipped the phone off the table."Sorry sorry, I actually wanted to know, which way to the train station?" He asked the man."Oh no problem" he said, too happy to be bothered with a stupid purposely made mistake and pointed up the street "Just head straight up, you'll see it""Thanks
Danté felt uneasy, she didn't seem like a witch even if she was old. Then again he didn't meet a witch that grew older so far, apparently they have ways to keep themselves young.He turned to her when she approached and struggled not to withdraw when her hand came up and cupped his cheek."My dear boy, Kaylee was my daughter, you are my grandson" Guinevere said."My grandmother?""Yes, just as Alister was looking for you, so was I, we arrived at the village when the fire already burned everything away, there wasn't even smoke" Guinevere said stepping back and looked at Lynette "Mind making me a cup of tea young lady?""Of course mam" she said and left."Why were you looking for me?" Danté asked, he still didn't accept she was family, growing up with the knowledge he had nothing was just too hard to get rid of by now."To see how far you have come""I went far and wide, you need to be more specific""Your mother's gift?
With the wind in her hair she started getting used to the idea of flying, though at great speed not once did Rebecca doubt Ray's capability.She glanced over her shoulder to him, his eyes poised forward but he saw her look from the corner of his eye."I'm sorry we had to meet in these circumstances" Ray said.She looked forward again, far below was the dark blue ocean, they were somewhere deep over it, no land viable all around."Did you give me up for adoption because you were afraid of me?" She asked."No, it was to protect you""From who?""The silver cross"Rebecca scoffed "They still found me though""Yes, twenty years later, as an adult, so many times me and your mother came looking for you, but we just couldn't find you, my condolences to Villa, she knows well the vanishing act""Why were you looking for me?""Just to see you, we wanted to know what kind of girl you became, but it seems we made the right choice in asking
