I woke up next to Niq holding on to his body. He was sleeping with an arm over his eyes. I smiled and I heard Niq sigh.
"Can you sleep a little later?" he asked and I shook my head and rubbed my head against his chest.
"Come onnnn! Oh I need to pee…" I said and got up on the bed and began to jump on it.
"If you keep on jumping you are going to pee yourself," Niq said and rolled over on his stomach. I growled and jumped on his back.
"GET UP! IF YOU DON'T I WILL PEE ON YOU!" I shouted and Niq groaned but stayed on his stomach. I thought and then an idea came to me. Air is water evaporated. I began to think of little drips of water rolling down Niq's back. Then it happened. I watched at the first water drops hit Niq and then he shot up and glared at me and I made a large handful of water drop on his head.
"Hehehe," I said and Niq growled and lunged at me. He tackled me to the floor and began to tickle me. I began to laugh uncontrollably.
"Did you pee on me?" he growled at me and I tried to shake my head but I couldn't move.
"N-n-n-ooooo…j-j-jus-st wa-water from-m-m a-a-air-r-r-r," I stuttered and then Niq stopped his attack. We laid on the floor breathing hard.
"You are so crazy…just to let you know," Niq said and I snorted.
"It's a wild life…you got to be crazy to be sane," I said and then I remember my need to pee, "SHIT I GOTTA PEE!"
I ran to the bathroom and peed and I heard Niq shuffling around mumbling incoherent words. I sighed as I could feel my body relaxing as it woke up.
"Lei…Emberstr told me that there is going to war meeting and all the kings and queens will be there and the heirs too. So I also heard that only Vic is going to be there. Sean is in Australia," Niq said and I groaned.
"WHY THE HELL IS THE WORLD FUCKED UP!" I shouted and washed my hands as Niq laughed from the other side, "I can't even take a damn shower."
"The meeting will be about an hour and then the troops will leave," Niq said and opened the door. He handed me clothes. It was long work out pants that looked dressy and a large dark green sweater.
"Are you going to leave too?" I asked and Niq looked at me through the mirror.
"I have too. I am one of your father's leading war generals," Niq said and I turned around and wrapped my arms around his neck and Niq lifted me up on the counter.
"But you are also my…hmm what are you too me?" I asked and Niq smiled a little.
"We can figure that out after the war…when I come back a war time hero and have my lady cry and jump into my arms," Niq said and kissed me. I leaned into him and squeezed him closer.
"I will miss you," I whispered and Niq laughed.
"What no 'Please don't go'?" Niq asked and I shook my head.
"I figured that if we argued about that then it would end up with you winning and me being sad so I thought we could skip that part and head on into the long crazy slow most romantic kiss ever," I grinned and Niq rolled his eyes.
"We can't…We need to get dressed and then leave for the meeting and I need to pack," Niq said and helped me down off the counter. I pouted and Niq closed the door. "Get dressed."
"AHHH!" I shouted and began to get dressed. I grumbled the whole time saying random stuff. I finished and walked out and found Geo standing in my room.
"Hey Lei! Niq told me to take you to the meeting. It's going to be outside so I brought another jacket for you to wear," Geo said and I grabbed the coat and stomped down the stairs to where my father and the kings and queens were. I saw Vic standing next to Mr. Goldbrooks. I sneered and stood by my dad.
"Hey pup, you will be sitting next to me on my left side," Emberstr said and I merely nodded my head. I saw Gerardo holding a child with short dark brown hair he had Gerardo's eyes.
"Hey dad, who is that?" I asked nodding to the child. Emberstr looked over and smiled.
"That is Miko. Gerardo's and Malay's child, he is only three years old. That is their heir but they have to keep him hidden from the other supernaturals," Emberstr said and shifted my feet.
"Why?" I asked and gave Relic a small smile as she passed by with a guy with long black hair.
"Because he is very powerful for such a young supernatural. Also Malay is super worried about him and all. But don't worry the supernaturals know that he is alive. So no problem there," Emberstr said and squeezed my shoulder.
"Hmm…well I am very happy for both of them," I said and waved slightly at Gerardo and Miko grinned back at me. Then the sound of trumpets and drums sounded.
"Really…trumpets and drums?" I asked my dad and he shrugged.
"It was Gerteral's idea to stay old fashion," Albrotrose said with Dak behind him.
"Hello, there," Dak said and I waved.
"Well Gerteral is a stick in the mud," I muttered and an old guy with dark brown hair glared at me and Albrotrose began to laugh. "Lemme guess…that was Gerteral?"
"Yep," Dak said covering his smiled and Emberstr grabbed my arm and dragged me outside before I could punch Dak in the face.
"You will have plenty of time to kill Dak after the meeting," Emberstr whispered and I sighed. We walked to our chairs that were on a platform that was lifted above the ground so that we could see almost all the supernaturals.
"You may want to be quiet now. Malay put down a spell that made our voices louder so that the supernaturals could hear," Dak said behind me and I scrunched my face deciding whether or not to believe him. Opal and her heir sat down in the first seats then Mr. Goldbrooks and Vic. Then Emilia and Gerteral sat down then my father and I. Albrotrose and Dak sat next to us then Malay and Gerardo and lastly Relic and her heir. Gerteral stood up and walked up to the front of the platform.
"Welcome! All you supernaturals! We have been fighting with the Armenians for many many years! But they kidnapped Emberstr's daughter and that was going too far! We have declared war on the Armenians. Many of you have lost family friends and lovers to the Armenians! Now is the time we fight back! Emberstr will tell you more of the battle plan," Gerteral shouted and the supernatural's cheered. My dad walked up to the front of the platform. He gestured to all the supernaturals.
"Brother's, sister's, family! We are here to kill! And to end this crazy feud with the Armenians! The Angels and winged Shapeshifters will fly around looking for the Armenians base camp. When we find the camp we will send in the Werewolves, and Fae. The Fae will be riding on our backs. That way they will stay warm and not have to worry about the cold. Then the land Shapeshifters will be the second wave mixed with some Werewolves. Lastly we will have the Demons and Vampires to finish the job. Also the Angels and winged Shapeshifters you will be carrying either bows or spears of your choice! Now GO! Pack your bags and kiss your families goodbye! We leave in forty minutes!" Emberstr shouted and the crowd cheered all the way to the end of the crowd. I began to think. Wait…Emberstr said that we leave at dawn…is he going too?
"Dad! Dad, dad dad! Hello?" I asked as we walked down the platform and into the castle. Emberstr was talking to Emilia and nodding his head.
"HEY! WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT 'WE ARE LEAVING TOMORROW'?" I shouted and Emberstr sighed. He turned and looked at me. He had this I-am-the-dad-so-what-I-says-goes-so-no-bullshit-whining kind of look.
"Remember something? I am an Original…so I can't die if someone tried to kill me. I can live forever. If I want to die I would," Emberstr said to me talking like I was a three year old. I growled and glared at him and walked (well more stalked) away.
"LEI! I have some food if you want it?" Relic shouted and ran over with a plate of fruit and veggies.
"Yeah," I snarled and grabbed a carrot and began to chomp away on it while Relic inched away slowly. Then someone tapped my shoulder.
"WHAT!" I shouted and almost bit the person's hand off.
"Okayy…well someone is a little bit cranky," Geo said and held up his hands in the I-mean-no-harm way. I sighed and rubbed my head.
"Oh I'm sorry Geo…It's all this going away and war stuff that is just getting to my head," I said and Geo nodded.
"Yeah I understand. Luke is leaving too. Dave is begging Luke to take him too," Geo said and a conflicted look crossed his face.
"What's up?" I asked and threw my carrot in the garbage. Geo began walking outside and I followed.
"Well, I want to go too but I am too young to leave. I am just 18 and the supernatural army only allows 21 or older to join and Dave is barely 20. While Luke is 25, I just hate knowing that Luke and maybe Dave might die. I just want to do something!" Geo shouted and punched the wall.
"Hey, hey…calm down…trust me I know just how you feel. Even thought my dad can't die it doesn't mean that the other people can't. I just hate knowing that this whole war started because of me. I sometimes wish I wasn't born," I admitted and Geo gripped my shoulder.
"Damn Lei…promise me you will never think like that again. Please don't. If you weren't alive this whole mess would have happened sooner or later," Geo said and rubbed my shoulder and I leaned in to him and nudged him.
"Ok Geo…but I need to go back and say my goodbyes. And you should too," I said and we ran back to the hallway and I saw Luke surrounded by his family with Dave standing off to the side looking sad and mad at the same time. I saw Niq by the door talking to Tash. I walked over and listened to their conversation.
"Please Niq! Stay here! I could hide you and we could…" Tash said and Niq cut her off.
"No…I am leaving for Lei, I will not stay here for you. Tash what we had was two years ago, please let go," Niq said and I frowned and then I began to walk up to them putting a fake smile on my face.
"Hey…I just came by to say my byes," I said smiling and Tash looked worried and then she mumbled something and walked away. Niq watched her go and turned to look at me.
"So…I am going to leave in ten minutes," Niq said and I frowned.
"Don't make me sadder than I am already," I mumbled and hugged him. He hugged me back and rested his chin on my head.
"I'm going to miss you," he whispered and I felt a tug on my heart.
"I am going to miss you more," I whispered back and Niq squeezed me.
"Promise me you won't try to fight in the battle and you will stay here in the castle," Niq said and I sighed and shook my head.
"Please Lei, I need to know I can fight at ease knowing you are safe," Niq said and I grumbled and finally nodded my head.
"Promise me you won't die," I whispered back and Niq grinned and I felt his chest swell.
"I will do my best," he said and let me go "Now go and say your goodbyes and I will see you sometime in the future."
I turned around and walked over to Luke and hugged him and gave him a kiss on his cheek and whispered a good luck. I punched Dave in the arm and told him to cheer up and maybe next year he could fight in the next big war. Dave chuckled and hugged me and ruffled my hair. I ran back to Niq and flew into his arms and kissed him hard and long. I wanted to imprint his lips on my own. Niq stopped and pulled me away from him and hugged me one last time. He then walked out of the castle with Luke behind him. Niq turned around one last time and waved goodbye as the castle door closed. I felt a tear running down my cheek.
Please be careful, I thought and wrung my hands together. I looked back and saw Geo looking sad too.
I can't stay here and do nothing…once the sun goes down I will leave and follow them, I thought and looked at the door with determination.
