Justrockzyxxx I understand where you're coming from especially since Zulema wasn't always like this, she is by nature a healer but with every war, you will eventually break if you are always on the battlefeild which she was during the original war. She can be sweet but, well we'll see.
Hearing the demons screams I couldn't sleep we all stayed in my room none of us sleeping. Even Hannah stayed with us flinching with every new scream. She looked sad when there was silence, I know it wasn't because of the torture that the creature went through but something. We all sat in a stoney silence as the screams ripped through the Inn again. I couldn't take it anymore, I know the demon was trying to cause some sort of harm to me but this was inhumane even for the supernatural world.
At the next scream that turned into a whimper I couldn't handle it I ran out of the room following the screams. Derek and the others called after me, Liz followed me staying close. We both were just moments a head of Derek who kept trying to reach out to stop me but was always just out of reach. We made it to the basement as Zulema added a drop of what appeared to be water on the demon's skin, making hiss and sizzle. I ran and grabbed the bottle in her and pulling it away from the vampire.
"Stop," I said looking at her. "What are you doing?"
"I'm trying to get information so I can protect you," Zulema said her eyes glaring at me. "Do you have any idea how precious you all are."
"No," I said. "But you don't need to torture him, it's not like he asked to be this, none of us asked for this."
I didn't see that my hand was shake so bad that the liquid shook out, Liz called out trying to stop it but the only reaction I felt when it hit my skin was that the liquid was cold. I looked at it then looked at the demon, Zulema saw my confusion.
"It's holy water from the river Jordan," she was looking at me thoughtfully. "You're just like her."
"Like who," I asked keeping the phial in my hands.
"Myles," Zulema sat down looking at us all and she calmed even the demon seemed to relax.
"I is thinking that Lady Myles is the reason the demon masters are so hard," the demon spoke up. "She offers peace and sanctuary to those who feels they is need of it. Because of that masters feels theirs wills abandon thems to join with angels or even humans. You and yours will die when master has his child from the blood of death."
"Why me," I asked looking the demon in the eyes, he tried to look away but for some reason he couldn't. I saw Derek reach out to me but Zulema stopped him her eyes on me. "Why does your master want me I only met him once."
"Master saw your power," the demon said. "He saw what you're children could be, he saw your blood. The most powerful blood in all the supernatural world, he is making you his queen so son could be King."
"But why me," I took his face into my hands making him look into my eyes. "There are other powerful Necromancers out there, why me?"
"He knows your blood," the demon said speaking normally. "And your soul, you are the real epiditmy of darkness."
Zulema stepped in there as I watched in shock. In one quick movement she decapitated the demon then quicked drew a mark with the holy water. She turned to me her gaze softening as she looked at me. She then drew me into an embrace, it surprised me and I was going to fight it but my shock melted away and I collapsed against her tears awashing my face. Zulema sang quietly stroking my hair as I began to relax. By the time the song ended I was calm and relaxed again, the stress since Lyle house was quickly gone.
Zulema led all of us to the parlor and looked at us individually before turning to me.
"How do you feel now Chloe," she asked.
"Better," I answered. "What did you do to him?"
"I sealed him," she said it in a way that made it sound she didn't do this often. "That way he can't return to his master. And I see the confusion on your face, a true sealing is rare, I myself have only don it maybe three times counting that one I just did. Normal seals are only temporary until the master of the demon calls for it. A true sealing locks him away in eternal darkness."
"How was it that you were able to calm Chloe down," Torri asked truly curious.
"I'm a healer," Zulema said. "But my Father, who was incharge fo all vampires and he was the first vampire. He recently released himself into the hands of our ancestors and no longer lives on this plain. I am the currently leader of the Vampire Empire and sadly that means I have to be the viscious one."
"And werewolves," Derek asked.
"They have they're own government," Zulema looked at him. "Lucky for you you're not a true werewolf. You're blood comes from another source. The wolf is not your only shape though your family hasn't been anything but wolves for about a century, all because I believe it was a group that called themselves the pack. Narrow minded fools that has been poisoned by demons. I blame it all on the Shadow wars."
Zulema looked to me and Simon as if expecting us to ask questions, Simon sent me a look. For some reason the past few months Simon and I have been really good at this type of silent conversations much to Derek's annoyance and Tori's fasinaction. After a minute of this I looked at Zulema in the eye.
"Who is Myles," I asked. "And the other people we've been dreaming about, we've been calling them dream guadians."
Zulema smiled and I stopped talking. "That is exactly what they are Chloe the first supernaturals in the world and they were called Guardian Angels. They are all angels that were born human, a lot of times in another world or time. I know for a fact that since she's ascended she and her family traveled through time, mostly because Myles wouldn't abandon her family. That's why her line is here in this time in this very world where she was born. Why Chloe is her descendant, in fact, having helped Myles through all of her births I can see which of Myles's children stands before me. You are very much loved Chloe and lucky, only two out of the five of Myles were powerful, Lili and Nicholas. Lili is enjoying her freedom a little too much so she has no children. I can see Nicholas in you though. He was Myles's first born and a good man, though he was powerful, he wasn't one to live on through the centuries. A plague caught him and he chose not to combate it with magic. It broke Myles's heart, out of all her children only Lili and Bionca were the ones that chose longeviety to live. The others chose a short life scarttered through time. Nicholas is deffinetely you're ancester, you look like him."
Hannah chose to speak up then a breakfast tray in her hands. "Chloe, because of your ancestry and your power you will be considered the leader of the new supernatural society. That is one of the reason you are here is to learn all of you. Not even Myles who is the leader of the Guardians, worked alone. The four of you are destined for great things."
"If anything you will be the ones to lead the supernaturals out of hiding because of the light each of you carry," Zulema said with a secret smile.
