and Edios... Bugger this. On with the fic.
Shadow entered the throne room slowly, looking around. Kain had summoned her to a meeting but, like always, Turel and Raziel were already there. The others were late as usual.
"Shadow, I trust your journey here was a good one," spoke Turel, with one of those, "Hello, I am a brat," looks on his face.
Shadow smiled. "It was ok...I guess..." Shadow was the quiet type. She seldom spoke, but when she was angry you knew about it.
Raziel threw her a cold glance and Shadow just scowled back. Kain sat on the throne. The Reaver, his favored weapon, was leaning against the side of the throne.
It was quiet for the next half an hour. Kain had fallen asleep in the throne, Raziel and Turel were playing a card game, and Shadow was doing a handstand, her back against the wall for support. Dumah and Rahab entered, followed by Zephon and Melchiah.
"Sorry we are late. Trouble with the slayers... What are you doing," spoke Dumah, throwing a glance at Shadow, who was still in a handstand.
"Waiting for you guys, der. You're about half hour late, maybe longer. You're in trouble. Toooooo baaaaad," replied Turel, looking at them.
Kain opened one eye and looked around. "Maybe we can start the meeting now," spoke Kain.
Everyone stood in their allotted place. Shadow, unfortunately, had to stand in between Turel and Raziel. She could not stand either of them. The only ones she got along with were Melchiah, Rahab and Dumah. But, at the end of the day, they were family and all respected each other so.
Kain was the father from hell. However, Shadow found out the best way to deal with him was to never question him, never think yourself more powerful than him, and you most certainly never called him "old bastard." At least not when he is in the room anyway.
Shadow had been a lieutenant for about a year. She wasn't even a fully fledged vampire. Her clan color was black. This puzzled the other lieutenants. Hell, it even puzzled her.
Kain stood and looked each one of them over. "Shadow, you have changed somehow," spoke Kain, as he turned to her.
"How do you mean, Dad," asked Shadow, totally clueless.
Kain frowned. "I don't know. Just something has changed."
"My dark gift has finally manifested itself."
The other lieutenants looked at her. Shadow had never actually had a dark gift. The others did, but she didn't.
"Oh? And what is this dark gift of yours," asked Kain.
"I don't know but.I can move objects with my mind."
Kain crossed his arms. "What kind of things?"
"Well...um..." Shadow turned to Raziel, an evil grin spreading across her pale face. Raziel seemed to hover in mid air for a while. The other lieutenants laughed, and even Kain chuckled, as Shadow made Raziel slam into each of the walls like a pinball game.
Zephon watched as Shadow beat up Raziel with her mind, it was even amusing to Kain. His mind, however, was on different matters. He had had a strange dream. It involved Dumah and Shadow, both of them were human, and a woman by the name of Jennifer.
Zephon then wondered to himself, did he know Shadow and Dumah when they were human? And, what was the other woman's role in it all? He did not think it wise to bring up the subject. Perhaps he would be able to catch Dumah and Shadow after the meeting.
Kain sat back in his throne. "We are going to attack that human village tonight. I want you all to prepare the best warriors from your clans. There will be Sarafan there," spoke Kain.
"Father, what about the underground tunnel? It leads directly to the village square," replied Shadow.
Zephon smiled. She was always trying to impress Kain by coming up with battle strategies. He could not blame her really. The other lieutenants always got their say, but Kain did actually listen to what she said. In fact, he always asked her about battle strategies. Shadow was damn good at figuring out battle strategies and fighting but, that was about all she could do.
Time seemed to fly by and Zephon was snapped out of his thoughts by Shadow. "Hey, bro. Did you listen to any of that, Zephon? ...ZEPHON!"
Zephon gave a jolt and looked around. Everyone had gone except Dumah and Shadow.
"Zephon, did you hear any of that?"
"No"
"What is with you, brother? You have been like this for at least two weeks."
Zephon crossed his arms. Shadow was older than all of them, except Kain, although Raziel was First Lieutenant. "Shadow, Dumah, can I ask you both a question?"
"Sure."
Zephon thought for a moment. "Have either of you had a dream where we have been human? You, me, and Dumah, plus some other girl named Jennifer."
Shadow and Dumah exchanged looks. "Yeah, I have. But this is not the best time to talk about it. We have a battle to fight. I guess Dumah will fill you in on the details. I have to go," spoke Shadow, as she walked off.
Zephon shrugged and listened to the plan. It was simple. In and out, quietly and quickly. Zephon left the Sanctuary of the Clans and turned as he saw a human female. She looked exactly like the woman named Jennifer from his dream.
"Shadow, do you see her," asked Zephon.
"See who," replied Shadow, a blank look on her face.
Zephon looked again to see she was gone. "No, it doesn't matter. I am just going crazy I think."
Shadow smiled and patted him on the back. "Welcome to my world, little brother. I went crazy ten years ago."
