Prologue:
Morgread Blackthorn knelt on the ground clutching the lifeless form of Jez Redfern to his chest. Tears streamed down his face. All around the battle raged the day verses the night but Morgread come only sit there mourning the loss of his soulmate.
Morgread looked at the body in his arms, his one true love was dead. A part of him died at the realisation, the part of him that felt love, compassion and the part of him that wanted to side with the day. He slowly stood up leaving the body lying on the ground. He turned and ran towards the group of the other soulmate couples.
"Morgread, where's Jez?" Ash asked him.
"Jez is dead" he replied in a flat voice. The group assembled around him gave a collective gasp. Jez the Wild Power was dead and with her all hope for the world died also. Morgread glanced around him at the faces filled with despair, he burst out laughing.
"Poor guy, he is hysterical" Delos muttered.
"Don't worry about me I feel fine." Morgread replied to him. "Which is more that I can say for…" he reached out with lightning speed and snapped Mary- Lynnette's neck. "you" he finished standing over the body.
"You killed her, you bastard." Ash yelled at Morgread and Ash launched at him in a murderous rage. Morgread hit Ash with a burst of physic energy. Ash stumbled backwards almost on top of the body of Mary-Lynnette.
"Ash don't do anything stupid," Morgread warned. "What's keeping you on the loosing side now?" Morgread asked Ash.
"Nothing." Ash whispered almost to himself. He looked up at the vampire standing over him, his eyes turning to chips of steel. Morgread held out a hand to him and Ash took it.
They stood side bye side facing the rest of their former group. Delos looked like he had been slapped. Rashel glared at them with murderous anger in her eyes. Maggie looked lost. Poppy and James both looked pissed. Iliana looked as if she was about to cry. But the biggest surprise of all was Quin; he was standing behind his soulmate Rashel and winked at them. None of the others saw Quin's reaction.
While all this was going on the battle was still raging. A body flew into the middle of their little group. The crumpled heap on the ground was undoubtedly human. Morgread and Ash both smiled and Quin's eyes twinkled as if he wanted to smile. The small group of daybreakers was all that was left of the daybreak forces.
Ash looked around him and saw the Nightworld troops closing in on their position. In the distance he saw a familiar red head, Ash smiled again, Hunter was alive and kicking. Apparently Delos hadn't done as good a job of frying him as he previously thought.
//hey Hunter, how do you feel about having your favourite grandson back in the fold.// Ash called to Hunter. Ash could feel the shock course through Hunter.
//how do I know you aren't just trying to save your own skin. // The cold voice replied.
//Of course I'm trying to save my skin, I'm a Redfern aren't I. // Ash answered laughing like the old Ash, the one that hadn't been tainted by love for a vermin.
//the wild power you killed's soulmate also has seen the light, or darkness" Ash told hunter laughing at his little joke. Once again Ash could feel shock radiating from Hunter. He didn't know one of the wild powers was dead.
// Oh yeh Grandpa it's true you have already won the battle all you need to do now is clear up. Morgread and I will help; just make sure your forces don't try to take us out. Oh yeh leave Quin alive as well he seems to be having a change of heart. Now it was Hunters turn to laugh.
//Quin never had a change of heart in the first place he has always been working for me. // Hunter told Ash. He looked over towards Quin and Quin did that wink thing again.
Ash could feel Hunter telling his troops to leave Morgread, Quin and himself alone. He looked towards the group of Daybreakers, most of whom looked upon them with hatred. The daybreakers looked like they were about to try and fight their way out.
"Why bother" Quin asked, "you are already dead" with that he picked up Rashel before she could do anything and bit her.
The rest of the daybreakers were quickly dealt with. Delos took out quite a few with blue fire but they didn't stand a chance. It was a massacre.
