Ch. 2



Talia's POV

He better have heard me cause I'm not repeating it. What all do I need to do? Hmm. I need to stop by the Redfern's office, tell them I'll be busy till after hell freezes and get my . or should I say our money. Then I ought to get the team together. I'll need to stop by the bank, the store, and go home. Well, I'm here. I walked in. I knew that no one would question me. I was stunning and the human boys, as well as the night world ones stopped to stare. I dressed to please, today. I was wearing a tiny pair of jean shorts. They showed part of my ass. A small, tight black shirt was next. It had been my fourteen year olds, but I had taken it. It came up four inches above my belly button. It had been ripped to get it to go up that high. The sleeves had been ripped off too. It said in red letters Witch: doesn't mean what it used too. It had a deliah on one sleeve and a pentagram on the other. I was wearing a touch of black lipstick and dark eye shadow. The black boots went with the outfit too. I walked in and asked the head of this office for my money and told them that I'd be back after hell froze over. "Ma'am, please. We need you and your team." He was blabbering. "I'm not coming back in till then. That's that." Grabbed the money from his hands and walked out. When I got to the bank, I sorted out the money. Then told them what accounts to put my money in and left. The others would get their money when I saw them. I went home and got my SUV. I refused to drive a van and my Ferrari wouldn't, not that I'd drive them around in it, hold all my kids. So I got an SUV instead. I drove to the store. I knew what I needed. I seemed to go a lot. I walked to the baby section first. I needed diapers and wipes. I bought some food. Not much, but some. Then drove to K-mart. I needed some new clothes. Not to mention the need for guitar strings. I grabbed some jeans and shirts. My taste was for black and other dark colors. I needed to buy clothes for the youngest two of my kids. An old lady, no . witch, saw me. "Dear, aren't you a little young to need baby clothes?" "No." I answered then completed my shopping and went home. I took in all the groceries. Half of the kids were still asleep. Well it was only 9:30. I could hear Ethan upstairs banging on his crib and Kaliena crying. Damn. I took the diapers, wipes and clothes with me upstairs. "Shush. Calm down babies." I picked them both up. They were both wet. Where oh where are my great babysitters now? I changed them. I gave Ethan a bottle and put him back to bed. After he was asleep I went down stairs with Kaliena and called the team. I woke some of them up. They all agreed, rather unwillingly, to meet me at the mall in thirty minutes. I changed clothes; Kaliena had just spit up on the ones I was wearing now. I changed into a pair of baggy black pants, with lots of chains. A tight black tee shirt was next. I then put on lots of jewelry and a little bit of make up all dark. I looked gothic and I was. I threw a twin stroller in the SUV and then got the kids. The younger kids I should say. That would be Kaliena, Ethan, Eli, Zane, Nathan, Darrin, , Haley and Elyssa. I walked out to the car kids who had just gotten dressed following. I got them all in. I had left a note for the other kids. When we got to the mall and had circled for a parking spot for a few minutes, I unloaded them and put Kaliena and Ethan in the stroller. I felt people stare. I didn't care. I sat down at a table, after getting the kids food, and waited. Soon I saw Kati's colorful hair. She had her hair pulled up into lots of little ponytails. There was a different color of hair for each one. The colors were: her natural color, blue, red, purple, pink, green, yellow, and orange. All in super bright neon colors, except her natural color. She was wearing a yellow baby-tee and a pair of supper baggy jeans. I mean the legs were about a foot wide. She also had tons of jewelry. I saw Shaun and Kara next. He was wearing black. Kara was wearing black pants and a tight red shirt. Chris was with them he was wearing jeans and a superman shirt. I saw Steve after them. He was wearing black pants and a red shirt with a black leather jacket over it. Stephanie was with him. She was hard to miss. Black pants (skin-tight of course) and a sliver shirt. Kym and Nick where last. Nick was wearing skin-tight black shirt and baggy black pants. Kym was wearing jeans and a white tee shirt. There were the other people who had been rather unsure of us with them. They were introduced. Then Kym started in. "Why'd you join?" Kym challenged me. "Cause I can." I challenged her back, "sides we missed you. What's the point of taking the easy way out? We never have before." "Oh, Dat's cool." She looked over at a guy coming over to her. He looked confused. She smiled. He was blond, blue eyed. When he reached us she said, "Guys this is Brian. He's my soul mate." "Dat's nice Kym. I don't give a rat's ass. Well, since this seems to be introduce thy soul mate day, I might as well join in the group." My voice was riddled with irony.. The others looked at me funny. I smiled. "This," I said pointing at Nick and flashing a dazzling smile, "for those of you who don't know, is Nick. He's my soul mate. We found out the, or should I say our, typical way. We were trying to kill each other. Than wham bam a knife, a death wish, and 50,000 watts of pink electricity." Amanda, a day breaker, almost fell out of her chair. Shaun bursts out laughing. As soon as we had stopped laughing we got down to business. "Shaun, what can we do?" "Kill. That is what we do. We gather info too and do research on tons of shit. Why? I mean you know all of this, don't you?" "Yea, but I was just checking. Ya know to se what ya'll wanted to be said as what we can do." They know I'd take it to Thierry. Kaliena woke, but didn't fuss. We talked a little about what this would mean. I had to explain that we would be with the good guys. They could be the losing team. They were all cool with it. Shaun told me what we needed. "Talia I'd love to stay, but . I left Andy with the kids so." Kara said. She said hurrying off. "Well bye Guys." I said as everyone started to leave. Nick and I were the only ones left. I smiled at him. He didn't look nervous, as most of the day breakers had been. I had seen one of Kym's friend staring daggers at me. "Well, we need to talk. Don't you look at me like that, we will be talking." "Do we have to talk here or can we talk sum where more private." He looked around. "Come on." He followed me. I grabbed the kids. When we got to the SUV we loaded them all in. We stopped by the house and put the kids down in their own spots. Kaliena playpen, everyone else went into the living room to watch TV or back to bed. Then led him into the bedroom.
