Ok so I kinda havn't written a chapter in a long while, but life kinda
caught up with me for a while. So here is the next instalment of Signs.
Night had fallen. Two figures lay tangled in sheets breathing even as the moon shone over their satiny skin. One of the figures, the smaller of the two stirred muttering something in her sleep. As the moonlight shifted the light seemed to follow down her back in a ripple, disappearing under the sheets wrapped around her waist. The ripple was followed by another, this time slightly golden, travelling slowly down her back, as it moved further down it was followed by another ripple. When she turned slowly into the mans arms the moonlight shone flush against her back, showing the black runes, tattooed over her skin. The man turned his chest slightly, eyebrows pulled into a frown as he slept, then over his bicep the moonlight travelled again. Leaving behind it a message, as indecipherable as the girls.
As they continued to sleep, unaware of this change in their lives, a sigh of unconscious relief swept the world. Many paused and wondered why they were sighing. Some merely turned in their sleep, those with nightmares smiled and slipped into a more restful sleep as the world became subconsciously aware that they were safe. As natures miracles were realised. * * * * * * * * * * * *
Max awoke with a smile on her face. She knew her heat had passed and she knew that she was in Alec's arms. She had turned several times, and now faced away from Alec his arms around her protectively. She felt him awake behind her and smell her hair. Things were so peaceful, if only to stay like this forever. But she and Alec had a city to run, a people to lead, and as much as she wanted to deny it she was happy.
"Hey gorgeous" Alec let his lips trail gentle kisses over her shoulder.
"mmm, morning. Sleep well?" Max turned slightly and nibbled his chin
"I had the strangest dream, you had decided to hide from me, because you were in heat, but I broke the door down and claimed you as my mate anyway" Alec's voice lowered to a seductive shiver and he ran his tongue over the bite mark he'd made on her shoulder.
"Really?" she swallowed, holding in a gasp.
Before Alec had time to finish his story a thumping on the door shook her out of her misery. He let his head fall into the crook of her neck and sighed before raising his head.
"Who is it?"
"Alec? Is that you? Look I'm sorry to interrupt man but shit is going down out here."
"Who is it?"
"It's mole. Get your ass out her now Alec."
Groaning Alec sat up and pushed himself away from Max. Throwing back the covers Max lay and idly watched the muscles play in Alec's back as he reached for a towel to take into the shower.
"Give me 5 minutes Mole, then I'm all yours."
* * * * * * * * * * * *
Max stood in font of the mirror wondering what exactly had happened last night. Her shoulder ached and she saw the bite mark from where Alec had claimed her as his. She grinned. She actually felt happy, except now there had been another crisis that demanded their attention and they couldn't spend the day in bed like she wanted to. She turned to grab her bra and stopped as she saw the reflection of her back in the mirror. She reached and arm around to touch it and watched as her arm moved of its own accord to touch the new signs that marked her skin. As Max's fingertips grazed the first sign she gasped as images flooded her head. Images of the things she could do now. Images of the child living inside her already gifted with Max and Alec's talents, barely conceived and already the messiah. Max's one last thought was, Did Alec know yet, as she crumpled to the ground.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
The answer was, Alec did know. As did everyone who'd ever met the pair. That made a lot of people. Oh Alec didn't know Max was pregnant. His male brain didn't make the connection that 90% of females in heat became pregnant when they mated. Oh yeah and it rose to 99.9% when they mated with their special mate. That had convieniently slipped his mind as the knowledge of what Max could do filled it. She could save worlds. And of that he was sure.
"So what you're saying is that Max will save the world?"
"Yeah. Pretty much. I mean, everyone who knows you woke up with the dreams fresh in their memories. It was deep man. You holding Max whilst all this energy spilled out her, you crying, her smiling, and all of sudden the world getting up and living again."
Alec grunted and tried not to think of the images it brought to mind. "Sounds like something outta that movie, you know, pre-pulse."
"What Fifth Element?" A female voice the Alec couldn't pinpoint piped up at the back.
"Yeah yeah." Alec found the girls eyes and nearly stumbled with the emotion he saw there.
"It was a lot more than that sir. It may sound similar but it wasn't." She hastily dashed a tear from her cheek.
"So your telling me that Max has to die to save the world."
Mole frowned. "No, it wasn't like that, almost, you, know like she had to be reborn to save the world. It was powerful stuff. And plus, it had to work with you. No you, no savey the worldy." Mole chewed on the end of his cigar and looked at Alec thoughtfully.
Alec jumped as he felt something stop inside him. He sat very still and tried to think what it was.
Max.
She wasn't there. It was like he'd been carrying a part of her around with him all morning and now it wasn't there. He pushed his chair back and left the room at a sprint. After a look to Mole the crying X-5 followed him quickly. Noticing he was heading straight to his room.
