1 Part 3
Ash lead the way to Hunter's room. They stood together outside the large door. Ash was about to knock.
"Come in" a commanding, voice boomed.
Ash lead Lex into the room holding her hand. They stepped around the door and looked around, they were the first two to arrive. Lex saw a regal looking vampire sitting behind the desk, it was Hunter Redfern. The oldest vampire in the world.
Hunter eyes travelled over the pair of them, his eyes resting on their entwined hands. He smiled coldly.
"I am glad you have finally gotten over that vermin whore Mary-Lynnette," He said to Ash. Lex laughed at that, glad that Hunter agreed with her perception of her former self.
//Hunter you are right, Mary-Lynnette was a bitch wasn't she. // Lex said to Hunter. His eyes flashed for a moment then he smiled. Before Lex could say anything more Ash cut in.
"Hunter meet my soulmate, Lex Mandril."
"Your soulmate, you mean she is the reincarnation of that slag." Hunter yelled. Ash was about to say something in Lex's defence but she got in there first.
"Hunter, I was Mary-Lynnette but as our dear Ash has found out I am not her anymore." Lex sweetly said. Confusion swept over Hunter's face, quickly covered by a blank mask.
"From what I have heard old souls are normally in some way similar to their past incarnation but…" Lex raised her hands "something must have went wrong in this case, cause baby I'm as bad as the come." Ash was trying to cover up a laugh, no one had ever called Hunter Redfern baby before. Ash was moving slowly in front of Lex, he assumed that Hunter would be pissed.
Lex saw Ash moving around in front of her and pushed him aside.
"Ash I can fight my own battles." She yelled at him. Then she heard a burst of laughter coming from the desk. Hunter clapped his hands once.
"Well Lex, you have persuaded me you are not Mary-Lynnette. For a start she would have been to scared to even talk to me let alone fight me."
Ash only smiled at this, he knew of all Mary-Lynnette's flaws but there isn't much you can do about it if they are your soulmate. He was defiantly pleased with his new and improved soulmate, it was like the first time had been some kind of a mistake and this time the powers that have gotten it right. Lex and Ash suited each other, neither had to change to please the other, it was perfect.
Lex could feel what Ash was thinking.
//I am glad you approve// she purred. Ash laughed again and moved his hand from hers and was about to touch her face. Hunter saw what was happening, if they got into all that again there would be no talking to them for ages.
"Well children, you are probably wondering why I called you here, I can't give you the specifics until the others get here but I can tell you why you were picked." Hunter cut in. At the sound of Hunter's voice Ash dropped his hand and entwined it with Lex's again.
"I need my best people to do a job for me. Ash was picked for the obvious reasons, he is my grandson, he is ruthless and a superb fighter. And you my dear" he said to Lex "you were picked because you an excellent fighter the best one I have seen under Ash's age" Hunter lifted his hand as if to ward off comment's, "you can speak once I have finished. You are the only vampire that has not lived thought the millennium battle to be able to use the black fire and" Hunter smiled, that was certainly unnerving "there is a prophesy about you."
Lex's mind was in a whirl, she had so many questions. How did Hunter know she was a good fighter? How did he know about the black fire? She hadn't told a soul about that. But most of all she was eager to know more about the prophesy.
"You probably want to know more about the prophecy," Hunter asked almost as if he had read her mind, knowing Hunter that was probably the case. He slid a piece of paper towards Lex. It read:
The orphan fighter
With the black fire,
1.1 Will help rid the world of light
Making it forever night.
She will find the wild four
Stopping the vermin forever more.
With Frayne her one true love
They will destroy the hope of heaven above.
"And you know what Frayne means don't you Lex?" Hunter asked.
"Ash tree" Lex whispered.
"Correct, it was a good thing I decided to put Ash in my little group, I had no idea what that line meant until you two came in here together." Hunter explained. Lex handed the piece of paper over to Ash, who read it slowly, a smile spreading over his face.
"We get to destroy the Vermin's hopes and dreams forever more. Can this day get any better?" Ash exclaimed.
"Someone's coming" Lex announced, a few seconds later the door burst open and there was standing Quin, Morgread and… Rashel!
