Chapter 9
"Hell's fire, mother night and may the darkness be merciful. Why are there two unconscious people?"
Passing by Saetan heard his son's outburst and opened the door to look at his son queerly. "Lucivar there are two people in that bed. On is sleeping and the other is shall we say rebuilding her life."
"That's what I thought until I tried to wake Valyn up. I poured three buckets of cold water on him and he didn't even flinch."
Walking by Jaenelle heard of the efforts to wake the sleeping Valyn and walked into the room. "No matter what you do he's not going to wake up."
"What do you mean cat?"
"Well, when I got up I saw the look of hope on Valyn's face and before I went to my room to rest I made him something that would but him to sleep and send him to Harmony. He needed to see her." Getting questioning looks from Saetan and Lucivar Jaenelle began to fidget. "It seemed like a good idea at the time."
"It was a good idea at the time witch child but now we have no way to wake Valyn."
"If you wanted to wake him up why didn't you ask?"
"If we knew you had sent him there we wouldn't have had to ask why he wouldn't wake up."
"No need to bite my head off." Pulling a bottle out of her sleeve Jaenelle poured the contents into the cup on the stand and cut her wrist. She let three drops fall into the cup and pressed it to Valyn's lips. "You might want to hold him down. Lucivar pinned his shoulders to the bed and Saetan grabbed his legs.
Five minutes passed. "Cat what exactly is supposed to happen?"
"He must be fighting it. Hold on to him tight now." She reopened her cut on her wrist and dropped the blood directly into his mouth.
Not even a second passed before Lucivar was almost thrown to the floor by Valyn waking up. "You could have told me that he would wake up that quickly."
"Why do you think I told you to hold him?"
Snarling Lucivar let Valyn go. "How is she boy? Did you find her?"
"Right about now I think she is rather pissed and coming our way."
"How do you know that father?"
"Go to the red web and you'll find out."
Ascending to the red web Lucivar got a mental jab that sent him flying to floor. "Mother night, what is going on?"
"It seems that our next Queen is coming back to us."
"Who in the name of hell pulled Valyn out of the abyss?"
Looking at his niece Lucivar swallowed and tried to give her a level look. "I wanted him to get up little one. He fell asleep three days ago and he needed to get some exercise."
"Exercising my ass. Get out so I can think." She tried to get out of bed to start pacing and realized she couldn't move.
"It looks like he's not the only one that needs exercise."
"Just shut up and get out Prick I need time then I'm kicking your ass in the practice circle."
"I will be waiting for your arrival little one." Smiling Lucivar left the room.
"Harmony did you repair you chalice?"
"Yes Grandpa. And I even got a little bit of help from a very nice person."
"I'm glad your okay little one. Rest well." Kissing her on the forehead Saetan was surprised when she grabbed his shirt and brought him down to look in her eyes.
"I'm not the one that's going to need the rest so prepare a bed for Lucivar and tell him to warm up."
Holding in a laugh Saetan put on his most somber face. "He will be prepared and ready tomorrow morning waiting just for you. Now go to sleep."
"Yes Grandpa. But I don't see why I have to rest. I feel fine."
"Tell you what, if you can come give me a hug you can beat Lucivar into a bloody pulp." Smiling Saetan walked toward the door and turned to face Harmony.
"Fine I'll rest for today but you are not keeping me in bed tomorrow."
Bowing Saetan walked out the door.
"Harmony, were you able to fix everything?"
"Yes mother, he is the one that Draca told us about."
Relief showing on her face Jaenelle walked to the foot of the bed. "I welcome you Prince to my territory and grant you the right to be in my daughter's bed."
"Thank you Lady. I'm hoping that this will be an interesting and educational stay."
Smiling Jaenelle turned back to her motherly self and had concern showing on her face. "You both need rest... sleep really not just resting in bed because that might lead to other things."
"I will sleep mother. It has been a very long day and it is already exhausted me, although I've only been awake for a few minutes. I'm starting to babble so I think it's time for a nap."
"Good night Harmony."
Staring at the close door Valyn let out a breath that he didn't realize he was holding. "Just you and me again."
"Get me out of this room. Your room, my room I don't care. All I know is that I need a shower and a change of clothes."
Climbing out of bed he smiled down at her. "It would be my pleasure Lady." Happy to have her in his arms again he laughed when she yelped. "you're the one that said to get you out of this room."
"There was no need to throw me over your shoulder."
"Is it all right if I hold you like this?"
"I like this much better. Be warned that if you lay down with me on your chest you will not get up until I do."
"That I don't mind." Leaving the room with her cradled in his arms he never wanted to leave her again.
