Chapter 14: The Last Night

Man behind the bushes POV:

I was sent by The Royals, for the girl, the one named Marlin but hunting the lasts of the vampires or humans wouldn't hurt either would it? And the boy, with the silver eyes, he's a winning prize as well. People would pay to see him, alive. The last illusionist and a werewolf, there's a prize I would love to take.

The Royals summoned me earlier today. I went to their castle and there was a small box lying around the throne room like it was meant to be there was what I saw. I'm called the Scorcher, fire is what I do. I come from the Fire Kingdom. My body is flames in some parts, I used clothe to wrap around my body like mummies but some parts were burned away. My eyes is what makes everyone intimidated, as red as flames, all of it, there is no white nor black just orange and red.

It was time to take them, it was dawn and I am to wait until dark. I hunt for my own pleasure of money. I would do it on my own for money or they will hire me as well, I will bring them, dead or alive but The Royals want the girl alive. The others, he said I could do what I please and I'll take them alive as well. Vampire venom will give me a fortune and there are 4 of them if I take the girl out, the humans are week and can easily be sold, 4 of them as well. The wizards I have no interest but so they would come after them, I'll just make them vanish.

Now to wait for the night.

Eden's POV:

After my talk with Archer we were ok, for now at least. We all went inside for dinner and I started to wash up until Fionna came to me. "Eden, what do you normally eat?" She asked it was most likely she thought I ate raw meat or something but I wasn't that monster everyone thought I was. "I'll eat anything you have Fionna, or at least edible, there is no need to ask." I said with a kind smile and she smiled back. I walked around the house. It was pretty big, 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms but was it enough room for 14 people?

I walked downstairs, I looked at the clock and it read 7pm. After our fight we slept for a while, about 2 hours so we were still tired when we all woke up at the end of 5pm. We went to get food for everyone for about an hour and now the girls and women were cooking it. If I knew how, I would gladly help. I never liked how some people or mostly men thought women and girls should stay in the house and be a bunch house wives. But sadly I had no experience cooking.

The only girl that wasn't helping was Avery, she was sitting on the couch and I went to join her. "Mind if I sit?" I asked and she looked up. "No, not at all." I sat beside her and it was quiet for a while. "How come you are not helping the other ladies with dinner? I don't mean to offend you of anyway; I would help if I knew how to cook." I said chuckling nervously and scratching the back of my neck. "So would I." She told me.

"Huh?" She looked at me and laughed at my confused face. "I don't know how to cook. That makes two of us." She said with a smile. "I guess it does." I responded.

"TIME FOR DINNER!" I heard Fionna yell from the kitchen. All the guys and Avery went to the kitchen and I followed right after. They had a huge table with about 12 seats so two were missing. Jake turned himself into a type of sofa like thing and Finn sat on him, guess that settles it. All of them took a seat and two seats next to each other were empty. Avery was about to take her seat when I took her seat out for her and motioned for her to sit with my spare house.

"Th-thanks." She said rushing to take her seat but I was able to see her blushing face already. I pushed in her seat and sat to the empty one beside her. I took a plate and too equal portions of what was there. "So Eden who do you live with?" Fionna asked me, great, interrogation time. "Well before I came here I lived with Death." I told her taking a bite out of some pasta that they made. "Wow really? Well, that was something you showed us outside. What will you call yourself Eden?" Marshall asked me. "Well to put it in simple words, I'm a shape shifter." I told him.

"Wow that's really amazing, how old are you Eden?" Asked Marlin, I didn't mind them asking questions, it was nice to know they were interested. "Well, I'm actually 18." I told them with a sly smile. "Well that's something but it is clear, with your height and features. Avery is 15, Neal, Leo, Dyan and Marlin are 16, Archer is 17, guess you're the oldest of them." Said Marshall Lee. I am 7 feet tall exactly so I was pretty tall I didn't have a very deep voice but it was deep. Archer and Neal are about 6 and a half feet tall the rest are a bit smaller than that, in height it would be: Archer, Neal 6 and a half feet tall, Dyan, Leo and Marlin were almost the same at 5 and half or more feet tall and Avery was the smallest, probably around 5 feet. That meant that she had trouble looking up at me.

"What do you change most into?" Asked Leo excitedly. "Mostly into a werewolf, I don't change into people or anything else much." I told him. "Can you make yourself look like me?" He asked and I nodded with my eyes closed. I opened my eyes, blond hair in the way of my sight. "Wow that's amazing! You look just like me except for your eyes though." Leo said. "When I change into other people I would change everything and make an exact copy of the person, even the height and their size but my eyes, they will never change. It's a gift from my mother. She was a werewolf and when she changed, her eyes wouldn't. Unlike my father would look exactly like someone else in every detail even the eyes. But I like my eye color to be, it just shows that I'm unique. If you had a bunch of clones and I changed, I would be different unlike the others." I told them.

"Wow that's amazing Eden." Avery said smiling. "Tell us more about yourself." Marlin basically wanted to know. I felt like I was telling a story to a bunch of kids.

"Well I'm a shape shifter and a werewolf. I worked with Death at the age of 6 after my parent's slaughter. I am constantly haunted by hunters who look for the last werewolf and illusionist. Because I am both combined, I am a much worthy prize. Before, it was the same for vampires and humans but I see you are repopulating. There is no other of my kind. Not in Ooo or Aaa. All were killed both werewolves and illusionists. I am 18 and I never made many friends or acquaintances. I was always on my own I never needed help. I am one of a kind." I told them.

I smelled something burned in the air; it wasn't food just ashes and flames. I didn't say anything though. "Well tonight's dinner was wonderful see you all in the morning, please feel free to use the rooms." Said Marshall as he got up Fionna followed him and once she caught up they held each other's hands and Fionna laid her head on his shoulder. The rest left too and I stood up and headed to the exit. "Eden, where are you going?" Asked Avery who was also still at the table.

"I'm headed outside, want to join me?" I asked with a hand outstretched to hold hers. I saw her look at my hand then at me, my hand again and then to my eyes. She had a tint of pink in her cheeks; I smiled to not make her nervous. Her mouth opened, her fangs showing. She looked at my hands again and took it. I turned into a vampire; it was easy, my appearance stayed but I gained the power of one, my canines growing into fangs and I held her hand and floated to the door. I opened and closed it gently I flew to the roof; I know Avery could fly anyway but still, why wouldn't I want to?

I sat on the roof and she followed. "Why are we here for Eden?" She asked me and I looked at her, I saw my reflection from her eyes, my eyes were silver in her gray eyes I saw the moon too, the color of my eyes and moon were the same radiant silver. "I love to stay out at night. It's so beautiful the sky no? The stars and the moon."

Avery's POV:

He told me that in such a soothing voice. I felt my heartbeat rising. Why was it him that made me feel this way? I felt myself get red. "It is beautiful." I managed to say to him and he smiled. I saw him lay on the roof now and I followed him. "These stars are so bright. Yet there are two that aren't so bright and a perfect shade of gray." He said I looked up to try to spot them but I gave up. "Which ones? I can't see them." I asked him still looking.

"Hm, it's obvious you can't Avery." He said with a devious smile he sat and I thought he was going to leave so I got up too. "Huh?" I asked once he finished that sentence. I looked at him but he was facing away. I started to look away until he grabbed my chin and I was looking at him in his eyes. I felt myself getting really red now.

"You can't see them but I can." I heard him say. "Where are they then?" I asked getting redder each second. It wasn't that I was scared but I was nervous but what for? He made me feel wanted, not any other guys made me feel that way not even Neal. "They are right here." He said pointing to his eyes. I didn't get it but then I saw my eyes from his pupils. They are the dim gray stars. I heard something say.

He still had a hold of my chin. "Eden?" I asked him but then he put a finger on my lips. Eden? I tried to ask again but then he drew closer to me, bending down, and his eyes shutting slowly. I didn't know what took over me but I too leaned forward in my tip toes, my eyes already shut. I waited for about two seconds until I felt his warm lips against mine.

Eden what are we doing? I asked him. I am showing you what I feel for you, what are you doing? He asked, I let conscience take over me but I felt the same in every way. I'm doing the same. I answered. We broke apart, both of us gasping for air. Eden out his arm over my shoulder hugging me closer to him and I let him, laying my head to his chest. I heard his heartbeat, a melodic rhythm. "So what are we doing here Eden? Was it just to kiss me?" I asked him my voice playful, he chuckled.

"You let me kiss you princess, but I just can't sleep, I don't know why. Maybe I want to spend my time with you." He said in another soothing voice. "It's odd, we've only known each other for about 3 days but we are still, you know like this together." I told Eden and he looked at me. "Oh how that made my art ache, so you don't want me do you?" He asked me and I freaked out a bit.

"No, no not that, it's just; I don't know we don't even know a lot about each other that's why." I said in a nervous tone. I heard him chuckle that adorable chuckle. "Well I know enough about you to be with you and I guess it was love at first sight for us." He said looking at me right in the eyes, that electric silver was too mesmerizing. "You're too nice Eden, you must be hiding something." I told him, I wanted to know if he was. "Well, you know my background and what I am, so what is left to hide?" He asked me pulling me closer to him.

"Fine you caught me there." I told him and he rubbed his hand with my shoulder. "So tell me about yourself Ave." I heard him say. I never told many about it but I was just too comfortable with him.

"My brother is Archer. My mom was a vampire and my dad was human but they went missing when Archer was 9 and I was 7. He had to mature from a young age but he made me promise him I wouldn't." I said but then he said, "I'm glad you did promise him that." I smiled knowing he liked me for me and not what I want to be. "Well, after I turned 13, I decided to live on my own for a while and went our separate ways. 2 years after I met him in the same woods I left him in. I stayed with him and Marlin for a while until she left and I called my friend Neal to help us get in the Night O' Sphere and in the castle and he did. I died in the process, met you, you gladly helped my heart beat once more and now I'm here… with you." I told him removing one of my bangs from my eye.

"Hey Avery, what do you feel for Neal?" He asked so suddenly. "Oh, well I know it's not what I feel for you if that's what you're wondering." I told him and gave him a small kiss as an answer and he gave one of those grins.

"Want to go out?" He asked me just instantly and I turned a bit red once more. "What do you mean, like girlfriend and boyfriend?" I asked him not looking at him hiding my face as much as possible.

"Well I thought that kiss was my answer and I think it is. But I meant to the woods, out there, up the mountains. I'll take you. I know where to go that will help calm your face." He said with a smile. I smiled sheepishly too and nodded. They were most likely sleeping so why not? "Sure." I told him and he knelt down, his back facing me. "Get on princess." He told me and I did. He took a step back and ran through the whole length of the roof before jumping into the night sky.

I closed my eyes, feeling the wind through my shoulder length hair, swaying gracefully with the wind. I had my hands tightly on his shoulders but once I felt him change below me; I slowly wrapped my arms around his neck. Even though his fur had a rough appearance, it was so soft.

I think I fell asleep, I woke up lying in grass, and the same black figure was behind me looking at the still shining moon. I was using him as my pillow it seemed to be. I stretched a bit before I asked, "How long have I been sleeping?" I let out a yawn with it too. "Well we go here about 10 minutes ago but the ride was about 20 so I would say half an hour." He replied once he changed back.

"What time is it?" I asked looking if there were any signs of light other than the bright moon. "It's only like 2 am." He answered sitting next to me. Without thinking, I leaned on his shoulders, my eyes closed from being too tired. "Where are we?" I asked noticing the new feeling around me. "We're at this meadow, open your eyes." He whispered in my ears. I obeyed him and opened my eyes slowly. I saw white flowers, they looked like jasmines, and they were shining with the moon and the reflection of the light from the water, wait water? I looked down a few feet away from us and there was a lake, it looked peaceful, beautiful, just simply amazing.

"Wow." I breathed out taking in all of my surroundings. "You like it Ave?" He asked me. I looked at him "I love it." I said with a smile and snuggled closer to him. He wrapped one of his long arms around me, I being petite made it easier for him to lift me up and get closer to me by wrapping me in his arms. "When did you find this place?" I asked him.

"My parents showed it to me when I was young. It's untouched, no one knows about this place except for us. I looked at the moon and saw that from the far side there were thick branches, I looked around; it seemed we were trapped in there but we weren't.

"It's amazing, thank you for showing me this place." I told him and he smiled. "There is one problem though." He told me and I looked at him from the jasmine I took close by. "What's that?" I asked him and looked away from my eyes. "How are we going to tell your brother about this?"

"Shit! Damn it I forgot all about him! Of course he would say no, you're like his enemy, you're 3 years older than me! He would say no in an instant!" I told him freaking out. "Hm, your birthday hasn't past, but mine has."

"What?"

"You see, my birthday was just a week ago, so technically I'm just about 2 years older than you. It's February, my birthday was late January, your birthday is…" He paused and I replied in May. "So I'm like 2 years and 1…2…3… 4 months older than you are." He told me. "You actually just calculated it?" I asked him with a smile about to laugh but held it.

"Yup, but we have to go back now they may be worried if they're not asleep." I never thought they wouldn't be asleep, maybe because we were all tired. "Yeah we should go." Eden turned back into a wolf and since I was too tired to fly I climbed on his back. Sleeping again and not worrying about anything else in the world, just me and Eden.

Marlin's POV:

Me and Archer were tired, once dad told us we could go to bed I was about to run to it. I asked if Archer wanted to sleep at my room but he said that it will seem weird until aunt Marceline came. "Hey guys, let's go sleep in Marlin's room. You don't mind do you Marlin, after all, I am your favorite aunt.

"You're my only aunt other then aunt Cake and no I don't mind" I told her and she smiled. "Come on Archer you too." She said pulling him to my room. "Wait!" He yelled as my aunt pulled him up the stairs, I laughed following them flying to my room.

It was just the same as I left and I haven't been here for a few weeks. And since Dyan and Neal were able to transport my stuff back, it made it feel more like home. "You know this feels like a vampire sleepover even if you two are half vampires." Aunt Marceline said putting her hands behind her head. "What about Marshall Lee?" Archer asked as he was sitting against my bed frame.

"He's the man of the house, the king, he has no time for things like this and look who's talking, where's Avery?" She asked with a grin I gasped and looked at Archer remembering that I haven't seen her since after dinner. "WHERE THE HELL IS SHE!" Archer asked glaring at aunt Marceline who still had that evil grin.

"Calm down, I wouldn't know but her protector is with her isn't he?" She asked again with another grin looking away from him. There was silence and then, "WHAT! EDEN IS WITH HER?" I wasn't surprised he was going to freak; he is 3 years older than her anyway. "Oh my glob where the hell did she go to this time?" That made me think this wasn't the first time she escaped.

Avery's POV:

I woke up again a while later. I hopped off Eden's back, I guess he sensed that I was awake and wanted to put my legs to work. I saw the house and he turned back human, we walked towards it casually. "Hey Eden how does-" I couldn't finish my sentence, my mouth was covered by a hand and the other dragged me behind a bush, it was Eden.

"What the hell are you doing?" I hissed but he shushed me. Can't you hear it? He asked me and I looked at him confused. Hear what? I asked him but he looked beyond the bushes. You can't hear or smell it? He asked again. What am I suppose to smell or hear? I asked. I looked towards where he was looking and a flame started growing. It was far away from us but it seemed to be outside the house.

Damn it! I was afraid he was going to find us! I heard him yell in my head. Who is he? I asked as I was able to make out some rags and flames, a body, a burning body. He's called the Scorcher, a hunter. He won't quit creeping on us until he gets what he's come for. They haven't looked for vampires; he may be looking for me or all of us. He told me and I wanted to beat him up now. Why don't we just beat the crap out of him? I asked him but he kept staring at the Scorcher.

Avery go and warn the others, I'll distract him and take him away from here. I heard him say in a stern voice Eden no you -

Avery! He's here for me! I'm more valuable than any of you! I promised to protect you, to myself, my uncle and your farther! Go now! He yelled at me. I felt tears come, what if I was to lose him? He is valuable, not because what creature he is but because who he is, the guy I ended up falling in love with and now I'll lose him. GO! I was about to run before I gave him yet another kiss, the last one for a while, he didn't push away, he stayed. Be careful and come back. I told him.

I will, my princess. He told me while he changed he ran into the darkness, towards the Scorcher. He howled a howl that sounded full of misery, sorrow and regret. The tears finally let go. The Scorcher followed Eden as he started shifting to other things like a bat, a crow and then into him. I ran towards the house and then flew. I opened the door with all my force.

"Where were you?"

A/N: There you guys go, chapter 14. Ok I hoped you liked it and don't worry, Marlin will get more involved now. Sad, Avery's short story is nearly ending, well not entirely but the main part of it. Of course it will pop up once in a while but still. So, how will Archer react to them being with each other? And I hope you guys aren't mad at me for changing the rating to T, I explained why I did it already. Well there is one thing to say now…
