1 Part 11
The six vampires entered Hunter's office. He looked over Jez steadily.
"So this is one of the wild powers."
"Yes, she is…" Quin said before Hunter cut him off
"No let me guess." He looked at her for a long moment.
"Your Jezebel Redfern. My Grand daughter." Jez nodded, looking slightly pissed at the use of her full name.
"Grand daughter?" Rashel asked. "Jez was like a great great great grandniece or something."
"This reincarnation is my grand daughter. Hart's daughter." Quin practically snarled at the use of Hart's name. By rites Hart should be the Redfern heir instead of Quin as he was the closest relation to Hunter but Hunter saw the weakness in Hart. If he was the Redfern heir, and Hunter died, it would be civil war. The other vampires would never follow a bleeding heart like Hart. But Quin on the other hand was a hero; Hunter was willing to bet that they respected him almost as much as himself. Quin had on more than one occasion asked to be allowed to terminate Hart but Hunter kept refusing, even though Hart was a let down he was still his son.
"Yeh Grand Daddy dearest, I am a wild power and I request to be allowed to join Black Shadow." Hunter drew a sharp intake of breath, and narrowed his eyes. But didn't say anything about the 'Grand Daddy dearest' comment.
"Blue fire could be a great assent plus it doesn't really matter if I get killed as one less wild power to worry about would be a good thing." Hunter smiled coldly.
"You are to join Black Shadow." Hunter stated as if it had been his idea all along. Jez smiled viciously looking for all the world like the Huntress she had once been.
"Do you think I should tell dad the glorious news? You just know that he would thrilled to find out that his daughter was the reincarnation of the Wild power that he honoured so." Hunter looked her in the eye wondering what she was up to.
"But then of course he always had the misconception that Jez had tried to do the world a great service by joining daybreak. It might crush him to find out that she is… I am working for the Darkness. But then of course he might already know." 'That was what she was up to' Hunter thought, frowning. 'She is trying to tell me that she believes Hart is a member of New Dawn. And that he could here everything that had been said in this room. And that she couldn't tell me telepathically because he constantly monitors her telepathy.
"I think you had better tell him." Hunter said telling her with her eyes that he understood what she was trying to say. //Quin, Morgread will you go with her? Do what you have to do.// He told him silently.
Quin gave a quick nod and turned to leave the room, Jez following close behind.
//the rest of you had better stay; we don't want him getting suspicious.// He told them.
"Do you have any ideas on the rest of the prophecy?" He asked // but don't tell me the truth.//
"Um. Well I know something about the prophecy about the orphan fighter." Lex said playing the part to mislead Hart expertly. Lying was after all one of her best skills. " I don't think is about me at all. I…I lied about the black fire."
"What?" Rashel screamed, "you mean you are only on the team because of a lie." Her reaction wasn't an act, she believed Lex's lie. Lex hung her head and acted ashamed.
"I'm sorry, I thought it would make me more popular, I didn't know things would go this far." She turned towards Ash, //play along.// "can you forgive me" her eyes pleading. Ash took a step back from Lex, a disgusted look on his face.
"Has everything been a lie?" He spat out.
"No" Lex said tears streaming down her, "I love you."
"How can I believe you?" Hunter carefully hid a smile beneath a stormy mask, 'they really are very good actors, if I didn't know better I might believe them. He new it was all a charade, he had seen Lex use the black fire. Lex looked wildly around the room, as if to see if there was anyone she could turn to. Rashel looked ready to pounce on her. 'She really is a dumb fuck' Lex though. Knowing that she would never be able to respect 'the Cat'. She turned to Hunter. Eyes pleading.
