Urban Vampire Chapter 169
It pained me that the loss of our Julie still stunted him. Once upon a time Ran had intended to end his existence, but sensing his thoughts I kept him grounded by making him Julie's protector. Of course, I always needed as much help as I could get. Maybe it was selfish of me to want him to remain in existence, but the idea of losing yet another friend was not an option.Ran's brow furrowed. "It's strange, Kim. Something is going on. Changes being made, alliances forming, and all on the Elder level." The entire vampire nation was aware that things had made a shift, but even utilizing our many contacts, no one was able to determine what or why.What was certain was that every vampire Council in the Nation was now required to keep a strict reign over his or her territory and to monitor the behavior of both the living and the undead. Before, we kept our ear to the grindstone when it came to humans but did not interfere in their affairs. Now we had to answer for any and everything that co

I noted that the others in the room regarded the exchange curiously but even the more rambunctious of my minion made no attempt to flex their muscles and observed with equal curiosity. Ran seemed surprised by the human's response. He glanced at the monitor and quirked up a brow, seeming a bit amused, but only allowed it to flash at us briefly before his professional demeanor returned. "He's a cocky little bastard, but I don't sense even an ounce of—"What occurred next happened fast and was hard to understand. I saw the stranger glance at the monitor, Ran swung his head to the man in surprise, and a moment later the stranger collapsed. It wasn't the type of collapse where you swoon and black out. No. It was as if he was simply no longer alive. He dropped like a rock, and Ran caught him so swiftly I couldn't understand how he could have ever known it was about to happen. One moment they were both standing there and the next he was supporting the man's unconscious body with one arm.

Before I could even think the thoughts, and before Alexis answered, Simione entered the room carrying the unconscious man in his arms. "Is he okay?" Sam asked. She was the only human who dared to speak, and this was one of the reasons I had chosen her. She had not been abused by a cruel Master and then allowed to bloom again. She would have no memory of the pain that a strong vampire could inflict. Unfortunately I did, and I worried for my family.Alexis responded to her question while choosing to ignore Paul's for the moment. "He is alive. He simply needs to figure out how to animate this body. He must learn to realize that he is in control."The human twitched, and a moment later his eyes opened. I clutched my leather chair indicating that Simione should sit him in it, and he did. Ran still lay flopped back like a rag doll, though he did blink—a little too much."He is strong," Alexis said. "He will figure it out, I believe. Maybe most would not, but he will."I trusted Simione

I knew his words were true. The Old World Neratomay didn't trust American vampires. Yep, even in the vampire world America didn't always get respect. They thought we were young and troublesome with our high profile vampire wars and continuing battles. Wars like those between the Bloods and the Crips were actually two rival vampire factions. And of course there were those hits on notorious and high profile human blood donors who didn't die from their impossible wounds. One such case was where a famous rapper had been shot several times and still lived. That incident was heard by an Elder level tribunal, and the rapper was forced to give up his fame and live in the underground where he still turned out some pretty important music ... but wasn't allowed to share it with the world as punishment for failing to be inconspicuous.Alexis tee-peed his hands. "Even at the Elder level the snub exists for those of us who serve on New World Councils. Some care more than others. Malarias would be o

"But … why the entire Council?" I asked. "I was the one who called—""Because the entire Council was there at the execution of the werewolf pack," Alexis interrupted. "Every member of your Council was present with the exception of the new one.""Monica," Tyler said."She was turned after." Alexis stood. "So you see, no one would have ever told you this. Not even your own Elder because he serves his own purposes and has already thrown you at the bus in order to save himself.""Under," I whispered. Alexis frowned."Under the bus," I said."Yes. He has thrown you under the bus."I lightly bit my lip. "What in the hell am I supposed to do?" I muttered. Everything had been going so well and now this. How was I supposed to protect us all?Alexis smiled, but it wasn't a nice smile. Somehow his smile comforted me because it held determination. "Again, that is why I am here. I told you that you will survive long enough to serve on the Elder Board, and I intend to make sure that happ

"Ran wants to know why other New World vampires have been tried and executed for crimes but ours haven't? After all, they want us dead, so …"Alexis gave me a look as if I was stupid to ask, and Paul was the one to answer."To guarantee that your Council would have no sympathizers," Paul said. "By doing this, your Elders have made you out to be the enemy to every other Neratomay.""Which is why no one has been sharing information with us …" Ran thought, finally focusing on our impending doom instead of the loss of his body.It was very late in the night, and my human family looked weary. "We can talk more tomorrow. Alexis, you can stay here. There are many comfortable rooms below ground. It might be best for you to retire below ground because Ran … Ran's body cannot withstand daylight. "Alexis' expression grew instantly dark. "I will not stay where you are not present.""Oh, fuck that!" Paul spat, obviously reaching the end of his limit. "You're not staying in our house!"Alexi

I flashed myself home well before Paul would arrive by motorcycle. I would hear the Wolf Pack's motorcycles long before they reached home. Tyler and Jason still lived in the small cottage behind ours. It was cozy but adorable for the two of them, and it allowed them free reign over the lands to hunt and bay at the moon without garnering the attention of curious neighbors.I checked in on BJ who slept through the night now. The sound of her breathing calmed my frazzled nerves. I sent my trusted human aid home. She was one of the first ever to utilize a safe house and was now a true willing donor to a young vampire whose turning had been sanctioned only this year. I resisted the urge to pick BJ up and feel her weight in my arms, to listen to the regular beats of her heart, to smell her baby scent and to feel the soft brush of her blond curls. After closing her door, I went to my bedroom and washed away the makeup and then changed into lounging pajamas.Moments later I heard the Pack'

When I ended our connection, I saw that Paul watched me in curiosity. I wiped away my lost expression. "Tony is going to have everyone gather at the manor." I focused on Paul, knowing that my thoughts were chaotic upon finding out that Tony and Monica …I cleared my throat. "Tony and Monica … I guess they are …" My voice faded. Paul nodded in understanding, not requiring me to voice it.I did anyway. "I don't know why she didn't tell me that she and Tony were together."Sam listened but remained silent. BJ's world remained unaffected as she held her bottle in one hand ready to take a hit off of it when necessary, while her actual attention stayed on a dancing, mechanical stuffed animal that could do somersaults without ever losing its balance. Freaky.I stood. "I better get dressed and ready."I was in my walk-in closet staring at an array of clothing though not really seeing them when Paul walked in."Are you okay, babe?"I looked at him. He didn't seem angry at me at all any

"Are you ready, my love?" Alexis asked."I'm not sure," I said. "She's still so little."Alexis kissed the dark curls at the top of our daughter's head. "Tiye is strong enough to travel back to our realm. We've been here a year. Don't you miss home?""Yeah, but a year here is only like five minutes in the Above," I said."More like a few weeks," Alexis said. "The Ladies are anxious to meet their new niece."He gently lifted his sleeping daughter, tucking her blanket carefully around her body. She had just turned three months old and was as round and plump as a melon. Her thick, curly hair was sure to be as wild as mine was when I wasn't wearing the plaits that Oni put them in. She looked like us—my brown skin with Alexis' nose and Mona Lisa smile.Alexis had named her after an ancient Egyptian Queen who was the deity of light. Leave it to him to name his daughter after an angel and a queen.He carried her outside and stood on the porch staring out at a vast sea made by his own h

Paul smiled and relaxed. I led him to the study where Alexis was waiting. Alexis nodded in greeting."Alexis, thanks for agreeing to this meeting," Paul said.Alexis gestured to a throne. "Please, have a seat."Paul looked at the throne and sat. "Mmm, comfy."Alexis moved the other two thrones to form a triangle, and we sat."We saw the gathering video," Paul said. "We didn't know we were being filmed," I said."I figured as much," Paul said. "But you made a good point when you said that one supernatural group cannot rule over another. My Werewolf Council has been meeting for the last few days. We don't want a war with the Neratomay.""And we do not want a war with the Werewolves," Alexis said.Paul nodded. "We have been in discussions with the Alliance of the Supernaturals, and I expressed King's beliefs that if we do not work together then we will all fall together.""That's right," I said."After a lot of negotiation, the Alliance would like to extend an offer for you to

Ran continued. "We asked the Wolves to coordinate their attacks with ours, and that is all they agreed to do.""But what about the carnage that occurred in Epic Cu?" The Councilmember asked."Are you for real?" I asked in irritation. "There were hundreds of Rectors at that gathering! All it would have taken was for one of those Rectors to snap Alexis' neck before he could summon King to close the portal to the Underworld. We had to take out the Rectors and luckily the Alpha aided us or—well we wouldn't be here and you'd still be kissing the ass of your demon master!"Alexis put his hand on mine but Ignacio smiled in amusement. Will you be quiet! Cyrene snapped silently in my head.When has that ever happened? I snapped back.Ladies, Alexis interrupted. Now is not the time. My love, try to be more…diplomatic.Fine, I replied."We won that war by any means necessary," Alexis said, his voice annoyed. "We don't appreciate your line of questioning. Do you want to go back to the way

The Neratomay flashed themselves away once they were outside of Epic Cut. The Supernaturals carried away their dead and injured, and what was left inside of Epic Cu was blood, gore, and ash. Paul left with his pack, and Ran, King, Alexis, and I flashed back to our villa where King fell in an exhausted asleep.Alexis and I watched him with pride. "It could have gone so much different," I whispered."No." Alexis continued to gaze at King's small sleeping form. "Not if we understand King's true potential—this is the way it was meant to be."It was time discover the fallout so we turned on the radio and television. Many countries were in a state of emergency based on what had happened over the last several hours. News outlets and radio stations made announcements that people should stay indoors because there were reports of wild, strange beast attacks. Videos of humans turning into Vampires and using impossible speed to attack the beasts clogged the Internet. Supposed experts in the s

I moved from zombie to Wraith, pushing them through the portal and trying not to think about those they had possessed.The Wraiths will take you…Oni had said.I saw Alexis keeping King in the light flowing from the portal, but the portal had grown smaller.It was working!King was closing the portal to the Collective!As I zapped zombies and Wraiths, I noticed with surprise that the Supernaturals were fighting with the Neratomay to kill the zombies! When they ganged up and killed a zombie and the wraith left the zombie's body, I was able to zap the Wraith and send it back where it belonged."Aleawdat 'iilaa alealam alsuflii!" I chanted loudly along with King. Although I didn't understand the words, I could repeat them exactly.Then Ran, who still stood sentry beside me, began repeating the words. Alexis joined our chant, and that portal began shrinking even more.The larger Wraiths became bottlenecked trying to squeeze up and out of the shrinking portal. They were so freaking g
Urban Vampire Chapter 327
I stared at the center of the pentagram where so much power was streaming through to seek out vessels, as if that power was a thinking, conniving being. It infused its targets with power so they could fight for it. And Alexis thought that my son should face that? My little boy?"Alexis, he's just a baby!""He is a demon!" he said sternly. "He only pretends to be a baby because that's what you need, Kim. You have to know that it has been many years since our son was a baby."The way King talked to the Wolf Council, the way he seemed to understood so much and so easily, the way he commanded attention whenever he spoke. I didn't want my child to fight this battle, but Alexis and King both knew this was what King was meant to do.Alexis released me and turned toward the pentagram. He raised his hand and began pulling power from the portal in the center, pulling so much that he glowed with the unnatural light that the energy emanated.Paul squinted and stepped in front of me, preventin

Alexis raised his hand. "We learned the truth, secrets that have enslaved us all!" Alexis' nose began to bleed. He stumbled and swiped at the blood angrily and then raised it to show everyone. "Secrets that prevent me from speaking these truths. But you see! You see!"Ran glared out at the group. "We know, even if we can't speak it. But if you can read it in our heads, you will know this secret, too!"The pain was so sudden that I could not have taken a step. I couldn't even see! Buzzing filled my brain as instead of a dozen bees, hundreds of them seemed to fill my head. I had expected it and thought I was prepared, but there is no way to be prepared when someone is inside of you filling your brain to bursting!"Kim!" Paul shook me.I tried to open my eyes then realized they were open. I couldn't see!"Build your wall!" Paul shouted. "Build it now!"I tried to imagine the bricks—white bricks. White…but I could only see black vapors!Then Alexis was inside my head cutting through

I smelled Alexis and Ran, but so had Paul. He was already heading toward them. When we finally met up, I dropped Paul's clothes on the ground before him. He changed quickly back to a man while I stared up at the castle where more Neratomay than ever attempted to enter Epic Cu."Once we're inside we cannot flash ourselves out," I said.Paul narrowed his eyes. "You'll be trapped inside?"Alexis frowned, but Ran and I nodded.Paul slipped his shirt over his head and peered at the castle. "We can blow this bitch up.""Blowing up Neratomay won't kill us," Alexis said. "Not unless our heads are severed or our hearts pierced.""Why does this castle remind me of Hogwarts?" Paul asked.I smiled. "That's what I thought!""How do we enter?" Paul asked. "That entrance is a hopeless bottleneck." "You could enter through the front door once we're inside," Alexis said, pointing at the opening four stories up. "That's how we exited."Paul licked his lips. "I can make that jump.""Not as a

"You're behind this, aren't you? Somehow—"His head exploded. I flinched at the spray of gore. When it turned to ash, I brushed it off me."Which one of you did that?" I asked."He searched my head," Alexis replied."Well, warn a sister next time," I said.Then I felt a loud buzz in my head, and across the room another Elder's head exploded.This created more bedlam and screaming from Council members who flashed themselves away or who sought the aid of another Elder."Do you feel that?" Ran asked."I don't feel anything because these people are screaming and hollering so loudly," I said.They were the most cowardly individuals I had ever seen. These powerful Vampires sat here crying like wusses! The very Council members and Elders who had tortured and murdered other lower level Neratomay could only hide and cry when they met a foe they couldn't overpower. They were the very definition of bullies!Ran turned to me. "It's Paul.""Paul? How…?""I can still hear him from my tim
