The rescue

We have been on the road for almost a full day now. Though we are vampires and most vampires can teleport, our gifts are somewhat limited in a way. We cannot teleport to a place where we have never been. Our destination is New York City and we have never been there, so we walked.

We grew up in a coven in Pittsburgh, we have never been away from the family,so this is our first time to get a look at the outside world and I'm really happy about that, though I can't say the same about Lucian. He has been very moody and sad since we left, because he is missing Kimi. He has also been giving me the silent treatment because he blamed me for Kimi not coming.

When we had left the castle at dawn, he had insisted on seeing her before we started our journey.

We had gone to her father's castle even though it had been very dangerous to do so. He had communicated to her about his banishment. My brother and I have the power of telepathy, and Kimi shares the power because she has shared Lucian's body and soul. He had called her out from her castle to the cave where we hid.

"I am going with you" she had said immediately she saw us, I saw that she was with a medium sized luggage.

Lucian had nodded his head to her statement, being of course blinded by love and not thinking logically. He had forgotten the dangers that taking her with us could bring to both us and our family.

"that would not be wise, Kimi, your father would be more aggravated and it might not end well for both him and our family. we must not give them more reasons to hate us more than they already have." I had said, very firmly. Knowing fully well, that it is left to me to bring them to their senses.

"Hera, I can't possibly leave her here, she is the one I risked all these for in the first place, she has to go with us" Lucian said, frowning at me, while telling me to shut up in my head. I growled at him, letting him know that I do not take orders from anybody.

"No...Hera is right." Kimi declared, startling us both. "Going with you makes things worse, our fathers will destroy themselves and their family if I do. Staying will give me the opportunity to talk to my father and make him change his mind about waging war. If he hears that Lucian has being banished, I'm sure he will change his mind about it" Kimi said sensibly, but it was obvious that she was sad about her decision, it must have been very hard for her to make it because she kept wringing her hands and blinking her eyes, probably to stop her tears.

I nodded my gratitude to her, but she averted her face from mine.

Lucian was very angry to hear that. He raved and growled, but Kimi stood her ground, making him to finally see reasons.

"My love, we will meet again, I promise" Kimi pleaded, placing both her palms on his chest and looking up into his eyes.

"so...how are we going to meet?" Lucian asked sarcastically.

"I will come to you...when it's time, you will know" She replied, drawing him in for a kiss.

I looked away, feeling uncomfortable at being a witness to such a private moment.

I've always wondered how it is to be loved the way Kimi obviously loved my brother. I did not envy them because I know that to love requires sacrifice and endurance of pain and even probably loss of freedom. Who needs all that baggage? definitely not me! I know it's not in my destiny to have my own fated mate, and I'm okay with that.

The first guy I was with was just my teacher to the sexual world, he deflowered me and taught me all the sexual positions in the Kama sutra, our relationship was purely physical, which was first thrilling,then later I grew bored by it and cut all ties with him. The second person was also nothing more than physical gratification to me...I never loved either one of them and they never loved me back too. It doesn't matter though, I intend to make more of myself than just a wife to a man, especially if I don't love the man.

I am very hungry, we haven't had any food since the start of our journey. The last thing I ate was the blood mother left for me last night before all the problem started. We had seen some animals on our way but Lucian does not feed on animals, he considers the action evil, and rarely feeds on humans except as a last resort. He mostly gets his feeding from blood banks. But me, I do not live by such tenets.

"Lucian we have to make provisions about feeding" I said.

"when we get to the city, we can steal blood at some hospital" he replied, non-committally

"um, I don't know if you have noticed but it will take us at least a whole day to get there and I can't wait that long."

" okay, what do you want from me then? tell u to go ahead and suck one poor animal dry?....I won't, just so you know" he shouted in reply.

what a stubborn man!

"well, I don't intend to wait until you do that, go ahead, I will find my food...when I'm done I'll find you" I replied, sarcastically

"Fine!" he said in icy tones and left.

I went in the opposite way, looking for a human I can feed on. I don't normally do it, partly because I am afraid that I might like it too much and become a murdering vampire like my uncle Tristan who was banned from the association of all vampire covens in the state. Everyone of us hated him, even his own brother, my father. He was so evil that it was said that he actually leaves a trail of dead humans wherever he travels to.

The other reason why I hate feeding on humans is because it leaves me with a hollow feeling of guilt and shame.

But now, I have to push all that aside and satisfy my hunger.

After walking for like twenty minutes, I heard rushing water and some voices. I approached and saw a stream and some girls playing in the water. Moving closer to them, I saw that they were teenage girls, just few years younger than me, probably fifteen years old. I moved closer, studying them. One was tall and gangly with red hair and had the most vivid green eyes I ever saw, her face was full of freckles. The other was shorter with long blonde hair and a face that was going to be a sensation in few years to come, she looked like a younger Sharon Tate. They noticed me watching them a moment later.

"Hy, would you like to join us?" freckles girl asked, smiling while her green eyes danced. I felt guilt squeeze my heart, but I pushed it away.

"hello...no. I just want to rest a while before continuing on my journey" I said

"oh..really?" Younger Sharon Tate asked, excitedly

" where are you going then?" Freckles asked

"New York City" I replied, locking eyes with them so I can win their trust enough for them to allow me feed on them.

"Okay" They both said, and then sat next to me. The spell had worked.

They both looked at me expectantly, but semi conciously. I didn't want to waste time, so I made Freckles go to sleep and then lifted Sharon Tate's hair and dug my fangs into her neck. The rush of blood that entered my mouth was divine. I drank enough to satisfy me and then released her.

I touched her temple and wiped the memory of the feeding from her brain.

I carried both girls to the grass where they had put their things, and laid them there. Both girls will wake up thirty minutes later thinking they had slept off after their fun in the water. They will not remember me at all.

I left them and teleported back to where I had left Lucian

"where are you?" I asked, linking him in my head

"walk straight down from where we parted, you will get to the highway, I'm waiting there" he answered.

I walked, and twenty minutes later I found the highway and met him ,trying to flag down a vehicle.

He didn't look at me, he just continued to wave his hands at the vehicles passing by. A car stopped, moments later and we hopped in.

The driver of the car introduced himself as Jeff.

"Are you guys twins?" he asked, keeping one hand on the steering wheel and the other at the back of my seat, I was sitting at the front seat, his fingers were touching my shoulders. I shifted forward to avoid his touch.

"yes, we are" Lucian answered.

"well, personally, I prefer twin boys or girls... different genders are no fun. No offense intended" he said, while staring at me laschievously

I growled, angered beyond words. Lucian linked me and told me to calm down.

He touched the man and said in a very soft voice "my man, drive...and do not say anything until we get to the city". The man blinked twice and drove the car like his life actually depended on it. Lucian and I looked at each other in the mirror, and bursted into laughs. Lucian rarely used his powers over humans. I know he did it for me. The driver didn't utter any word until we got to the city an hour later, it was already night.

"thanks my man" Lucian said, when we highlighted, and gave the man his fare. We continued laughing even after the man had driven off in a cloud of smoke, like a demon was after him. The incident has broken the ice between us.

"I'm sorry for behaving like a jerk to you, sis" Lucian said, when he had stopped laughing.

"I know, Lu...I understand. You will see her again, you know" I replied, soothing him.

"I hope so, Herr, I hope so" he said, his eyes shinning with hope "let's go and look for a hotel to stay." he suggested

"yes! let us do that" I replied, happy now that we are no more fighting.

The part of the city where we were was not one that looked palatable. It was mostly shambled buildings, thieves, criminals and homeless people.

We walked a while before we got to a hotel whose building looked like it will fall and break into pieces anytime soon. That wasn't the only thing wrong with it though.

The sight of the building aroused my senses. I smelt blood and fear and worse of all, death. I looked at Lucian, he looked at me, he also smelt the same thing I was smelling

"Let's see what is going on here" I suggested

So, we decided to go in.

On entering, we didn't find anyone at the reception desk. The reception area was in disarray, the chairs were upturned, a computer laid in shambles and a few distance away, a lady was on the floor, lying in a pool of her blood. That is the death I was smelling, I thought angrily.

"what the fuck could have happened here?" Lucian asked in angered tones

I felt angry too, but now, I can hear voices.

"I hear voices...they are in the packing lot, let's go!" I said hurriedly.

We rushed to the parking lot. It had just three cars. The parking lot is seemingly empty, but I felt the presence of others. Lucian and I hid in the shadows, so as not to be seen. We didn't want to alert these criminals of our presence until we are sure that they weren't after us. They could be Maugrim's men for all we know. But I doubted that, it wasn't his style to waste a human, maybe waste a vampire? yes! but never a human. I know this because he was one of the people who signed the petition to ban my uncle, Tristan. And besides, it was common rule in the vampire world never to hurt humans.

Still, I expect Maugrim to send his men after Lucian to exert revenge against him sooner or later.

After waiting for what seemed to be a long time but was just merely two minutes, we saw three men walk towards one of the cars, one of them was carrying a wounded person.

Lucian and I exchanged glances. "Easy Herr, let's wait until they drive away and then we can follow them afterwards" Lucian said in my head. I nodded, agreeing with the plan.

Some moments later, they drove away. Imediately, we left our hiding places and got into one of the cars and followed them with Lucian driving. We had already picked up their scents so we just followed it.

We followed them as they drove out of the city until they stopped at a dillapidated Victorian building. We stopped at a few distance away, so we won't be noticed. We stayed in the car until they carried the wounded person into the building. We came out of the car and sneaked into the building.

We came into a very big room that must have been the ball room when the building was in a good state and crouched down in a corner of the room. A big furniture that looked like a closet, blocked us from their view. Men were standing round a figure in the middle of the room. The men were about ten in number. They all had a particular smell which confused me. They didn't smell like humans and they stood like soldiers of war.

Lucian nodded at me, having read my thoughts already. I tried to move closer to have a better view of their face and scraped the furniture instead, which made one of them, the one nearest to us, look back in suspicion. His eyes were pure red and he was snarling, showing fangs.

I bit back a growl and moved back, hiding more into the shadows. "they are werewolves" I told Lucian, linking him in my head.

"Yes, I saw that, sis" he replied.

"where did you find him?" the figure in the middle of the room growled at the other men.

"At a hotel in Brooklyn, master, he didn't put up much fight...He is definitely a misfit son of the Alpha Amarog" One of the werewolves replied, chortling

"You anger me, Kyle, I did not ask you for an extra and unnecessary review about Amarog's son. Did I?" the master growled, in a voice promising danger to Kyle.

"No master" Kyle replied, subdued.

"Good! it is a good thing that word came to us early, letting us know this bastard is up and about. Did he really think that I, Brutus, would allow him traipse about my city parading as something he is not. I would make an example of him" the master shouted menacingly. He stood up and crouched over the unconscious body and sniffed it. Then he looked up at his men "did anyone see you with him?" he asked them

"No master, only the receptionist if the hotel he was staying in...so we killed her" Kyle replied.

"Good! you should have brought her here though, so I can give a taste of my dick before she dies" Brutus said, laughing cruelly at his crude words

This made my blood boil, I vowed to myself to kill this bastard to avenge the woman's death.

"we have to do something, Lu" I said to Lucian

"yes, he probably wants to do something worse than kill the poor guy. Can we take all of them though? They are werewolves and werewolves are very strong" Lucian replied in my head

"yes, but we can take them unawares, besides, I strongly believe they are new werewolves. They are mostly controlled by their emotions. Let's give it a try"

"okay"

We both bursted out of our hiding place, I moved swiftly, and grabbed the werewolf nearest to me and snapped his neck, I snapped the next one's neck too. By this time the other werewolves had noticed us and all shifted to their wolf mode.

"distract them, I will go take care of the victim" I sent to Lucian. He ran to the wolves and started fighting them.

I ran to where the victim was bundled in a pool of his own blood. I quickly constructed an obstruction with my powers so the wolves can't get to him, then I went back to join my brother in the fight.

He was busy trying to remove himself from the fangs of one of the wolves, I extracted my claws and dug them into the Wolf's neck, he whimpered and lay powerless on the floor. My brother and I both combined our powers and made a force that hit the werewolves at once. They grew weak and started whimpering. I searched their faces but couldn't find that of the leader.

"Hera, do you have silver with you, we need them to kill them before they heal back" Lucian shouted at me

"yes, I have a silver knife" I gave it to him.

He took it from me and went to the werewolves, then he started slicing their throats one by one, till they all lay dead.

I heaved a sigh of relief.

"They were all newly turned werewolves, that is why it's so easy to have killed them" Lu informed me. I nodded to show my understanding. Werewolves are one of the strongest supernatural beings, they were very hard to kill.

"what about the leader?" I asked. " Is he part of those u just sliced?"

"Nope, he probably ran away on discovering what we are, I didn't notice him during the fight"

"well, that's disappointing, I had hoped to get his black heart myself" I said angrily.

"he would have proven a challenge though, he is a rogue werewolf" Lucian said.

"All the more tantalizing" I replied.

We went to the being we were protecting, his heart was still beating, albeit weakly.

We both carried him and teleported to the hotel. We laid him on the bed. His hair was matted with dried blood, his face was very dirty, stained with sand and blood.

"can you heal him?" Lucian asked me

"I will try" I said.

I bent towards the man and put his head between my palms, I then kissed him on the mouth. Immediately, I felt power surge from deep within me into him. The power crackled, and shocked me like I came in contact with electricity. I tried to move away, but I couldn't. I felt the soul of this stranger reach out to me, then felt my own soul leave me to join forces with his and then it felt like my soul had found its home.

In my dream, I was dead, lying in a field of green grass. Then I saw the most beautiful angel descend from heaven and she came to me. She held my head in her soft palms and planted a kiss on my lips.

    Sparks flyI was walking up and down the floor of the hotel room. Lucian sat down staring at me like someone watching a mad woman. I guess, you can call me that, because I know that my life has changed drastically in these last twelve hours since we got to the city."Herr, why do you mistrust this guy so much?" Lucian asked in a worried tone.I don't know how to answer his question, because I do not know the answer myself.All I know is that from the moment I healed that guy, Tys, I do not feel like the old me. I can't describe to my brother how it seemed like I was being burned by fire when I gave him my healing kiss, it felt that all my power was drained from me and infused into him and that I became him and he became me.I can't describe the feeling I felt when I met him awake for the first time.

    TYS' PAINThese past few days have been the worst ever. My thoughts and dreams have been consumed by Tys. He haunts me days and nights. The damned slutty receptionist didn't help matters, running up and down after him, this irked me so much that I couldn't resist hypnotizing her to stay the fuck away from him. I had felt ashamed of myself after doing it. What the fuck is wrong with me? Why does he consume my thoughts to the point that I can no longer control my emotions around him?My dreams have constantly been the same throughout. In my dreams, Tys lays on the grass in a field filled with beautiful flowers and a Crystal lake, the breeze blows gently emanating a heavenly smell. I wear white and lie next to Tys, he opens his eyes and they are burning white, we kiss and a blinding white light like the moon descends from the sky, and embraces us, the light turns to fire which engulfs us, we both scream with pain and then die and our souls become one.

He could have lied about it just to hurt me. That kind of behavior is not beneath him, but recalling the conversation between mother and father the day I left leaves me in a doubt about that"we don't know why the moon goddess hadn't blessed him with our powers" those are the words my father had uttered. That statement carried a lot of weight. Does that mean that Beowulf is not my father and I've been deceived my entire life?If this is true, why did mother not tell me, mother couldn't have kept such secret away from me and tell everyone else, leaving me in the dark.

Was it when he kissed me for the first time or when he whispered harshly into my ears to tell me how much he needed me. Or was it when he peeled off his clothes and stood gloriously naked in front of me, watching me with desire. He had stood tall, the fine hairs on his chest and arms, dark and soft, his muscles well defined and solid, his penis hard and risen in all its glory, pulsing with desire. The sight of him had drew me to the brink of desire, making me want to feel him inside me.Did I fall in love with him when he stripped me off my gown and gasped at my beauty, calling me the most beautiful woman he had ever seen or was it when he had entered me and fucked me to Oblivion.I do not have any idea of the exact time I fell in love with Tys, but I know at some point during our lovemaking, I fell hard and deep in love with the man.I would have been okay with this knowledge if I hadn't witnessed the visio

After wards, he asked about my childhood and I found myself unburdening my heart to him.He listened attentively, and looked wistful as I told him about my siblings and the kind of life I had had while growing up.He also told me how he had endured without his first wife and his son and endured the loss of my mother's love.Some hours later, Hera came back and narrated everything that happened at the castle with joy shinning in her face
