Urban Vampire Chapter 282
When we finally slowed and collapsed in exhaustion, we stayed intertwined with him buried in my wet canal and my arms still holding him loosely against me."Will this make a baby?" he asked."No." He untangled himself and propped up on one elbow. "When? King is three years old. He should have a brother or sister.""He has a sister."Alexis looked embarrassed. "I know. But he has no sibling here. Shouldn't he have siblings to play with?"I rolled from beneath him and sat up, looking at him from over my shoulder. "You don't have babies just so that your kids have siblings."He sat up in bed. "Why? Kim, you know that I want more children."I gave him a long look. "Babe, I know. But…but we might die. We're at the mercy of the Neratomay! They already took one of my kids from me. I can't…" I turned away.I felt his hand and then his lips on my shoulder. "I'm sorry. I won't bring it up again."I turned and put my arms around him, resting my head against his shoulder. "I love you, A

"Yeah, well, that's what I'm afraid of.""Oni is loyal to me, to all of us. What would life on this beach be without her?"He became thoughtful. "We could use some more help on the farm…"I smiled. "Let's talk to Oni about it."We dropped by Oni and Ran's house after dinner. While we watched King play with the baby chicks, we discussed the idea. Oni liked the idea and said she would help the spirits we called to understand and not be as confused as she had been.That night after putting King to bed, we tried it. I felt for the faint indicators that said there once had been something more…I can't put it into words. Inside of me felt like hollowed spots that should have been filled. I had been familiar with Oni when she had been nothing more than my Succubus, but I wasn't familiar with any of the other spirits that had animated me.I chose one of those empty spaces and called it awake, pulling it to me, cajoling it forward when it was reluctant and unsure. Finally, a black wispy su

She didn't answer immediately but looked at me curiously. "No. That's all your own. I protect you. I protect our family.""I'm happy that you do. We're in agreement that we need to return to the world. But I don't know when that will happen."May heard us talking. "The Mother must know this answer. Maybe she has not told us all that she knows.""Do you think she wouldn't help us if she could?" I asked."I think she is cunning," May replied.I later asked Alexis if he had noticed that his spirits had specific traits or abilities. "I don't know," he replied earnestly. "Perhaps I should learn more about them.""Yeah," I said. "It's been months.""Well, the tall one can work longer than the rest. I have to remind him to stop for a rest and to take sustenance. He just wants it finished at once. I do appreciate him. There is one with the big head—do you know the one I speak of?""Babe, don't call him big head. It might hurt his feelings.""I don't call him that to his face, only b

"You're a big boy now," I said. "You're old enough to understand more than you did when you were a three-year old, so we can tell you more things.""You know that I created a small portion of the Underworld," Alexis said, "and I made this place in the way I make Pop Tarts and dinner when Mama's too tired."King nodded."Where we live everyone is good," Alexis said. "But it's not like that in the Above. Some people want to fight each other."King frowned."Mama and I wanted to stop it from happening, but other people didn't agree with us," Alexis said. "So, they sent us here. And now we have to wait until they call us back.""Like a punishment?" King asked.I nodded. "Yes, like a punishment. But we weren't bad.""And they still punished you?" King asked."They sent us away so that we wouldn't stop them from what they want to do," Alexis said."What do they want to do, Papa?" King asked.Alexis' eyebrows gathered. "Now that's a longer story. You wanted to know why you couldn't

Ran exploded.Not literally but figuratively. His eyes began to turn red and blood trailed from his nostrils to his lips. I wanted to end the experiment, but Ran refused to stop."So, you and Alexis are Golden and I am really a Neanderthal?" Ran asked with an angry frown.Oh my God. This was truly working! After all this time, these secrets could be revealed and no one's head needed to explode!"Ran," I said, "Alexis and I are Golden, but we were bitten by Neratomay, too."Oni dabbed the blood from Ran's lip."Mama?" King looked scared. "Uncle Ran's nose is bleeding."Ran shook his head and told a bald-face lie. "No worries, King. It doesn't hurt." He gave my son a shaky smile. "Hit me with your next secret."King looked at his father and me for assurance. "Is it okay?""King, what you're doing is very important," Alexis said. "But if you want to stop, you can stop."King looked at me, not wanting to disappoint but not liking how this was turning out for the two men he most c

"No." I smiled. "In this small piece of the Underworld Papa and I look like human beings. But we're not human beings."King nodded. "Because human beings are living and you and Papa are un-living.""Right." I nodded. "Well, you know the stories that I asked you to tell Papa and Uncle Ran?"King slowly nodded."Don't worry," Alexis said. "You don't have to tell them anymore. But you spoke about the Neratomay and the Chosen." Alexis explained briefly about the difference and that we were Chosen and Uncle Ran was Neratomay."Vampires," I said simply.King nodded. "Okay." He had heard most of this years before."Okay, well, a Vampire doesn't eat food the way we do down here," I said. "Like Aunt Oni doesn't need food but she eats it anyway.""Yes," King said. "She eats other things."Alexis' eyebrows dipped. "Other things? What do you mean?"King shrugged. "I asked Uncle Ran why Aunt Oni doesn't eat, and he said she eats other things and then he ran away."I hid a smirk. Chicken.

I did not want to return to that dark path again. It was dangerous. The Wraiths may have figured out a way to move us from the path. They were numerous, greedy, and cunning. "There is no path to follow leading to the Chosen, is there Oni?" My palms became wet."No," Oni said. "We won't need a path. We would enter directly to the Chosen's limbo."Alexis had paced nonstop throughout the discussion.I slipped into his arms, hoping to stop his distress. "The Chosen can't kill us here. It's like what you told me when we first started allowing King to travel to other realms with Oni. This is the one chance that we have to do anything like this, Alexis. The secret is important."He looked into my eyes and then nodded.~*~We all knew the importance and far-reaching implications of what we wanted to attempt. If it worked, it showed the power that King possessed. If it failed, then we still had a plan with holes in it.King was excited to explore a new world and to do it with us all.

I turned to the powerful being cloaked in a child's body, remembering why I had always hated clowns. I stood over his prone body with my fists balled and ready to beat the shit out of something that looked like a seven-year-old kid. "What did you do to my baby?"I only meant to share information with him...Is he hurt?Bassma sounded as if he wanted to cry."What in the hell did you show him?" I shouted. "He's just seven years old!""My life," Bassma said softly using words that were as frail and gentle as a child's."We have to get out of here," Alexis said, trying to wake King, but King stared blankly with his thumb jammed into his mouth.Oni was so pale that she barely looked brown. Tears filled her eyes, and she was shaking like a leaf. Ran put his arm around her."We can't leave until King guides us out," Oni said.~*~King lay on a wood cot covered in colorful cushions and silks. I knelt beside him, holding his hand. Oni was on the other side of the cot stroking his

"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

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
