Chapter 2
Hidden Agenda
"Connor, I need you to look after Faith for the summer"
I shot up from the couch, my father holding out two sets of keys. It was times like these that I rather not be a powerful being, I wonder how it felt to lead a normal life…
I walked up to him grabbing the set of keys, I crossed my arms giving him a question look, "Why are you having me to this job, isn't she a slayer?"
"Yes, she is, but she got in some trouble" he said while turning his back away from me, now I knew something was going on that I was completely missing.
"How come I have the feeling that it's supernatural trouble and not human trouble?" I said feelings as if he was keeping something from me.
He turned around, "She's pregnant"
I felt relief wash over me that was a good sign that I blew this way out of proportion. "Oh, that's it; here I was thinking that it was supernatural trou-"
"With London McZee, one of the four element guardians. He controls fire, and he's the first one out of the four that's started a bloodline out of the royal kingdom. So, you understand why demons would want to raise or kill the baby. "
He couldn't be talking about the fairy tale, it went like this. At night it said that a whole new world opens up that humans can't see, just like earth there is both good and evil. This world called Epiphany and it controls the greatness of all living life, while the evil side controls the darkness.
The four element guardians control the side of good; they make sure that all living life is safe until the sun rises, each guardian has the power to control there own element. Every four is vital to the waking state, if water is lost then there will be no water for men to drink and earth will grow weaker…and so on.
I looked up at my father, Angle, who is the creature of the dark and a lot stronger then me, "Why can't you protect her?"
He grabbed his duffle bag and a cross bow. "Because I got myself a guardian to find and protect, and since you're a human, granted with supernatural powers, you still can't see Epiphany and where it resides."
Before I could get another word out he was gone, I threw up my arms. "And where am I suppose to find her?!"
"Hey, kid"
I turned around and there she was. How come I had the feeling that I was walking into the lions den…
