Chapter 7
Please dear Goddess let a dragon come and kill me! Jez found herself begging as she looked around the store they were currently at. Everything was green and red. Everything! Jez doesn't have anything against those colors, but right now everything was just giving her a headache.
Something was definitely bothering her… but what? She looked around trying to see if any form of danger was in sight… but nothing. There wasn't any danger, she knew that. She looked at Keller who was leaning against a wall while Iliana rambled on about how the Christmas tree should be decorating with a different light and what not. Keller would be the first one to sense danger, and by the looks of things… she didn't.
So why did Jez have this feeling? Your paranoid, get over it! She told herself, but it wouldn't go away. The strange feeling… something- someone… UGH! Damn it Jez! Clearly mad at herself Jez tried to push all the thoughts away. Surprisingly she succeeded but that was only thanks to the little shining object that caught her attention.
*-*-*-*-*
Thea stood near the entrance of the store she assumed was called Holiday Break or something. Truth is, this whole idea of shopping didn't really catch her attention. She just decided not to complain and tag along because well… curiosity was killing her.
The meeting that was most likely going down tomorrow had completely captured Thea's mind. She knew what it would be about… but she wanted more details. She needed more details and she needed them now. The final battle/End of the world whatever you wanted to call it she knew it was coming up.
She knew Thierry would have a plan -of course without the fourth wild power it wouldn't do much help. It didn't matter, Thea needed to know the plan, she needed to know every detail because then she would tell her. She promised to help and of course she meant it. She couldn't join circle daybreak because she would ruin her cover.
The plan they had created not to long ago was going as planned. She joined the council while Thea joined Circle Daybreak. They would meet once in a while to share information. It was risky, but it was the only way to know what the Night World was planning.
No one knew about this -not even Eric. But it was a secret she had to keep, it was for his own safety. Heck she didn't tell anyone for their own safety! If the planned went wrong, death would be the penalty and even though everyone was already sentenced to death it didn't matter. Thea didn't want to feel guilty for something of her own fault.
Sighing Thea pushed the thoughts away. She had to clear her mind, right now all she had to worry about was the Christmas decoration she had to select. He plan with Blaise would have to wait.
*-*-*-*-*
I'm pretty sure Jez is probably thinking this right now… but Goddess please! Save me! Send anything to kill me! Keller begged as she nodded her head agreeing to whatever Iliana was saying.
This was just to much. I should have stayed at the mansion. She thought while she tried to focus on Iliana's words… didn't work. The girl was defiantly rambling about some Christmas tradition… something Keller didn't care about. Christmas. What was the point of that? No one wanted to celebrate it.
Well maybe some did. The thought echoed in her head as she looked at Poppy Hannah Gillian and Maggie, they seemed to be lost in some 'interesting' Christmas topic. There is no time for Christmas! The end of the fucking world is coming people! She wanted to scream that thought out, but she wouldn't. Why? Well other then the obvious reason that it would hurt some feelings…
…deep inside Keller felt like Christmas was something that needed to be celebrated.
"…it would definitely be so romantic, don't you think?"
"huh?"
"Damn it Keller! Your not listening to me! What's on your mind?" Iliana asked rather frustrated as she just wasted her valuable time practically talking to a wall.
"Nothing" Keller simply answered looking rather bored.
"Then answer my question!" She sighed as soon as she noticed Keller's face practically saying 'what question?' "If one of the guys proposed on Christmas! In front of everyone… you know"
Keller blinked, Iliana sure knew how to surprise her "Where did you get that crazy idea?"
"Well… if you would have been paying attention; I was talking about how Christmas is a great time for family and friends and how it would be effin amazing how the mansion is loaded with soulmate couples. Then I started talking about the mistletoe. You know, how when your standing beneath it you and your… uhm… partner kiss I guess. Then I said something about instead of a kiss the guy would kneel down and-"
"I get it" Keller laughed "You really know how to talk, eh"
"Its what I do best" Iliana smiled "So don't you think that would be pretty romantic?"
"I… guess?"
"You really suck at this whole love thing" Iliana sighed "To think that Galen is your soulmate… I mean look at him! He is such a romantic guy. You really should learn something from him"
"eh, ill consider it"
"Goddess Keller! If I could I would make my blue fire spank you!"
Keller now couldn't help but to laugh rather laud, she even got the attention of the many costumers that seemed to be very distracted by whatever Christmas song was playing. "Spank me?"
"Whatever, you know what I mean. Now hurry up and help me find a gift for him!"
"For who?" Keller was surprised the way Iliana reacted to her question. She blushed. Her cheeks immediately started turning red and she lowered her head making her hair slip from her messy pony-tail to cover up her face.
"Someone" She murmured as she started to turn around so she could walk away, but Keller was fast.
"And who would this someone be?" She asked moving rather quickly to stand right in front of Iliana.
"Just, someone" Iliana said avoiding eye contact.
"Oh no. Your going to tell me who" Keller said a little alarmed. "If its Galen… I don't mind-"
"It's not Galen, I already got him a gift long time ago… well its actually also your gift" She said smiling "You'll like it"
Keller was a little shocked to hear that Iliana had already bothered to buy her a gift. But decided to push that topic aside, right now she still needed to figure out who that 'someone' was.
"Just help me find a gift for him and then maybe ill tell you who it is" Iliana said finally making eye contact with Keller. They looked into each others eyes for a while before Keller sighed and looked away.
"Fine" She said making her way to the back of the store.

"So everything is clear" Thierry spoke with authority as he looked at the three people standing in front of him.
"Cristal clear" Lupe said while she placed a smile on her face. "But I don't think they will like it"
"She is right" Keagen agreed as he thought about the way Jez would react as soon as she would find out about Thierry's latest order. She would definitely not be pleased.
"I'm pretty sure Iliana wont like it either." Nissa spoke from the corner of Thierry's little office. She wasn't on the best terms with either Keagen or Lupe, so she decided to keep her distance.
"They are going to have to live with it" Thierry sounded like a stubborn kid - at least that's what Lupe and Nissa thought.
"Very well, so when do we start?" Keagen asked as he pulled out his I pod.
"As soon as they get back from the mall" Thierry sighed "I had to send people to find them! They didn't even decide to call, not even Hannah."
"Maybe she thought you were working or something" Lupe lazily shrugged.
"Is it that obvious that Hannah and I have some… issues with my work" Thierry looked at the three of them. The werewolf again decided to lazily shrug, while the vampire simply shook her head slowly. The other Vampire happened to be busy playing with a little device in his hand.
Thierry once again sighed. "Dismissed" He said. The three daybreakers left within seconds, Thierry shook his head before leaning his head back and resting his eyes. Damn it, he had to do something about this whole work and Hannah situation.
*-*-*-*-*
"You shouldn't have said that. You know how difficult it is for Thierry, he is definitely not having a good day" Keagen mentioned in a matter of fact tone but he simply got Lupe to roll her eyes at him as a response.
"He needs to start realizing his soulmate is more important then- wait never mind. The end of the world topic is important" Nissa seemed to have been talking to herself.
"I think Thierry should just take a break. But who am I to judge?"
"Your miss I-am-Thierry's-favorite-member-of-circle-daybreak-because-I-helped-him-find-his-soulmate. You should talk to him about the break. Maybe he will listen." Nissa suggested but she didn't believe her own words.
"Doubt it." Keagen said after changing a song on his I pod. "So Nissa are you still mad?"
"Thanks for reminding me. Yes. Bye." And with that said the vampire turned around and in a blink of an eye she was gone.
"You had to remind her?"
"Its pathetic, she should just get over it" Keagen sighed "I wish you luck with Delos"
"Same goes for you. All though I think Jez will definitely give you a harder time then Delos could ever give me."
"Jeez, thanks. Just what I needed" He rolled his eyes before leaving just as fast as Nissa.
What to do… what to do… hmm…

I'm dreaming… this… is a dream… right? Not real, its just my mind- he is not here-
No. I'm here.
It gave Mary-Lynnette a warm feeling hearing his voice in her head. More like feeling. They were holding each other as the moon shined on them. Her head was leaning on his chest as he had his arms wrapped around her waist just like hers were around his. They stood there for a while. Just holding each other.
Mary-Lynnette kept think it was a dream. She had dreamed of this so many times… of course she thought it was a dream. After all, she waited for him, and he never came.
I tried… I- really- I-
I understand. She said and then she felt Ash's relief. She understood why he hadn't come before. He was showing her… the missions… the people he saved… the people he apologized too… the problems he ran into… everything that had stopped him from coming back like promised.
Ash had to show her so many things, right now wouldn't be the accurate time. So it would have to wait. As long as Mare understood why it took him so long to come for her. He never wanted to make her wait for so long. Heck he didn't want to wait for so long… and while he thought about that he was able to catch some of Mary-Lynnette's thoughts.
I'm sorry Mare. I didn't- Guilt washed all over Ash. He had seen the pain- the pain that she had been through by waiting for him. Why- I- I should have called. I'm sorry, I thought that if I heard your voice I would go insane and come running here- I didn't-
Stop it Ash. I told you. I understand. And with those words she silenced him. This was the moment he had waited for so long. He was finally holding his M'lin. They were together again. Everything felt so right. Perfect. That was the word that fit the best. Right now for Ash everything was perfect… and just for tonight he would forget everything else and focus every part of his mind on her.
On Mary-Lynnette.

Pathetic! This is Pathetic! Damn it all! Claire kept repeating that in her mind as she drove -rather fast- towards Thierry's mansion, while Hugh was holding on to dear life from the passenger seat.
"Should you slow down" Claire wasn't sure if it was question or statement Hugh had just said but she didn't care, she was not going to slow down. Not in a million years.
"If I do, they will catch us"
"So what's you're plan? Take them to Thierry's mansion were the THREE wild power are?"
"Hugh, its either that, or we die. Pick" Claire easily stated as she gained more speed. She was sure she violated at least ten rules.
"If they fins the Wild Powers and something happens to one of them we die" Hugh pointed out and Claire cursed. She hated it when he was right.
"So what do we do?"
"I would say we fight- but that would be suicide- Turn left!" Hugh yelled as he noticed a similar street. Claire did as told without questioning him. "Follow my direction- I know where we can get help"
"Hugh, this is Night World territory, do you want to kill us?" Claire asked now panicking.
"Trust me- there is someone who can help us here"
"Damn it! Ill trust you Hugh, and if your wrong Ill personally kill you"
"And if I'm right- which I am"
"Ill kiss you"
