Having a witch that can bend space and distance was a better advantage than flight, Hannah felt the very problem of travelling over great distances is being instantly solved, by an instant jump through time.
She looked at Saffira, in the witch's arms the body bag containing her daughter, Hannah gave her a sweet smile but Saffira didn't buy it."We have an agreement then, I help you resurrected your mother, and she brings my daughter back""Why?" Hannah asked "Why bring her back when you were in fact the one who killed her""Sometimes Hannah there are things you wish you hadn't done... Maybe one day you will have such a moment"The soft smile in Hannah's face vanished, giving way to her signature leer "I have already had such a moment Saffira, and that was allowing my younger brother to become king! I should have stood up to my father, but out of fear I stepped back, and allowed him to have his way"Hanna looked at Raphael staring at the doors of the Vel"Then, where are the other body parts?" Rebecca asked.Sebastian was sitting in the throne looking at the servant vampires finishing off the last of the crew members."Well my dear princess, they are all here" he said holding his hands up.Rebecca didn't understand "If she was so evil, why not scatter her limbs all over the world? Make sure she never gets put back together again?""You see that's the thing, some of us contemplated the fact that if there ever would be a monster that cannot be defeated, we needed a monster to fight back"Rebecca laughed "That's such bullshit, she was the very monster personified!""Ah yes, but let's not dwell on the past, I want to go bring her back to the world of the living""Why?""I want her to be my Queen... I will care for her more than Vlad ever did..." He looked at Rebecca "Where is Vlad?""Apparently my mother killed her""Your mother!?""A twin blood named Tala, she was married to Ray Vl
Digging deep into the bare holes of her soul the compulsion worked on triggers, what she wanted most in life, her pain, the suffering, and what she has lost that meant dear.Rebecca stood in one spot shaking as the voice conjured deep hate from her.'Your life was ruined, your joy taken away, what hopes of the future do you have young princess?'"I..." She tried answering, but the voice came with hands, she did not see them but they grabbed the memories like physical objects and drew them in front of her.'Villa was killed... Your mother was killed... Your father imprisoned you...'"Stop!" She yelled holding her head.'No, don't fight it, deep in you you have a flame of vengeance burning, it needs fuel'"I don't want..."'Stop lying to yourself! You have insulted yourself, others have insulted you, underestimated you! You are Princess Vladimir Tamaska, the first Royal Hybrid, take your throne! Show those who smeered mud in your face who you re
"So you're the infamous assassins I heard so much of?" Danté asked still standing with his wings well hidden.Jane and Duke didn't like his method of stance, they saw he was attempting to hide something."Come quietly Danté, we mean you no harm as long as you cooperate" Duke said.Danté watched the two closely, he was still uncertain of himself, a world has opened up filled with colors and lines, lines lead to things he has yet to discover and the clouds of light around people told him more, more than just reading someone's body language.He looked at Jane, her cloud a murky grey, his new instincts told him she was uncertain, that was obvious in her body's posture, legs slightly widened to be ready at the drop of a dime, and hand forward as insurance should she need to defend herself.But if he could read her uncomfort with merely seeing her, what's with that cloud around her, Duke has one too, its situated around their hearts.Mayb
"Cradle of man kind?" Danté asked."Yes, years back archeologists discovered skeletons in a cave, they presumed these where of the first humans on the African continent, but, when Vlad asked the knights of the round table to do everything in their might to prevent her from rising again, someone had the initiative to keep the skull until a suitable hiding spot could be found""And?" Danté asked."Mrs Ples, that's the name of the skull currently on display at the Ditsong national museum of history in Pretoria, but little does everyone know that skull is actually the one of Rachel, swapped out when no one was looking"Jane typed in the details and found the pictures on the web "This?" She asked holding a photo clearly taken of this scull inside a glass case."That's the one"Jane looked at Duke "What do you think?""Its obviously the perfect hiding place, but just to be sure, I suggest we go burn it, crush it, whatever it takes" he said.
"Skyler, you must go after Rebecca, she must be stopped!" Asena said rolling her shoulders and sizing up Sebastian who got up from his fell position.Skyler stood in awe over her at first, double her length but covered in fur, not fully werewolf but halfway there at least."How did you?""There's no time Skyler! Go after Rebecca! She must not reach Svalbard!" Asena said and moved.Sebastian wanted to take Skyler down but Asena was too fast for him now, she tackled him to the ground and pinned him.Skyler hesitated."Go!""But what about you!?""I'll be fine!""Promise me!"Asena looked up at her worried face."I promise"Skyler took a step back, giving Asena in that form one last good look, then darted out and took off.Sebastian kicked Asena from him but before she could clear his personal space her claw slammed into his kicking leg, she roared swinging him over and with the momentum she built from his kick she slamme
"Amber has a broken neck, but she's still alive, Rebecca doesn't want to talk to you" Raphael said."Did she... Did she bring the limbs to Hannah?" Danté asked."Yes she did"He clenched his fist, what on earth has bevel Rebecca!? Why would she!?"Very well, I know the location of the head, I'll let you know once I have it""We're at the Velvitali castle" Raphael said and put the phone down."Kane caught your assassins?" Hannah asked."He made a grave mistake though" he said typing on his phone "That computer tablet Jane uses has a tracker in, I can go get that head""Let me!" Rebecca said stepping forward "I'll go get it, and kill Kane whilst I'm at it""I still need his blood!" Hannah said."Then I will bring some"Raphael handed her the phone, showing the location of Jane, and a tracking system that will guide her there."Give me a day" Rebecca said and left the dungeons.Outside she gave the tracker a glance, chose her direction then flew o
Lynette watched Danté drop to the ground, his body giving one last shake before it went still, tears rolled down her cheeks as she realized her last hope just died with him.Rebecca stood watching his heart in her hand, it as well gave a few involuntary quivers before it stopped its final beat, deep in her she felt a sadness roll over, thinking it would have made her feel better...But now both her mothers gone, her father wanted nothing of her, and Danté, the one man she came to love, lied dead at her feet, his blood on her hands.She sighed trying her best to push away that feeling, a new world as a hybrid opened up thanks to Rachel, and even though it wasn't her own feeling, the compulsion made her want Rachel to rise.There was a thud behind her and she turned, Sebastian walked over and held a flask up "Don't forget the blood"She held the heart up and dripped the blood in, Sebastian then closed it and held it to her."And the sk
"What will you do from here on? Rebecca has your blood and the skull, Rachel is moments away from being revived" Lynette said.Danté looked at her, then brushed over the scar Rebecca gave him, that moment her hand clasped his heart he felt everything, all her sorrow and pain.Two mothers lost, her life upside down thanks to the Silver cross... Danté felt no hate towards him, it was merely a misperception caused by that compulsion.Then her father, slamming her in a cage... Rebecca was hurt, she only wanted a family, she wanted a normal life, it was a feeling she has hit to the world, a secret she has kept, Villa Du Bois has given her something like it, but that's all in the past.He looked into the sky, the stars sparkled their shimmering light down millions of miles away, lines drawn between them as guides, a compass to those who know what to look for."There is the thing I can do, and then there is the thing I want to do" he said looking down
