Heart of the Red King
Chapter 2
Surprises
It was now Sunday morning, two days after the incident. Charlie sat at Pet's Café awaiting the arrival of his friends. His uncle still never told him about the visitors. Charlie only knew they were the Beastlyhearts. He was waiting for Tancred, Lysander, Olivia, Fidelio, Gabriel, and Benjamin. They were going to talk about the Beastly hearts. Charlie asked for any information they could find about them. The small gerbil in his lap began to twitch from his nap.
It was 15 minutes later and finally everyone was there.
"So did you find anything about them?" Charlie asked.
"Nope," replied Benjamin.
"My dad said that the Beastlyhearts were very important to the Red King," answered Fidelio.
"I've got nothing," Olivia said as well.
"My mom said that Catriona, there ancestor, was the daughter of the Red King. She was born after the 10 split up," Lysander said.
"My dad told me that Donovan was the Red King's most trusted companion," Tancred added.
"My mom said that Donovan was blessed by a dragon," Gabriel ended.
Mr. Onimous crept up behind them.
"So you're wondering about the Beastlyhearts are you?" he started, "well I'll tell you."
"After the Red King saw what befell of his beloved children and ran into the forest, he met a woman named Hope. The two fell in love and soon got married. Before long, they conceived a child. She was girl and seemed to have acquired some unique powers. They were mostly powers of nature. She was a sweet-tempered young girl who unlike her half brothers and sisters picked neither good nor evil. She picked in-between. She did not pick day or night; she picked dusk.
"Now the Red King had Donovan, his right hand man who went with him where ever he went. He was the king's most trusted companion. Before he knew the king, he was quite famous for beast-hunting. One day he was given the task of hunting a dragon. For weeks and months, he searched for a dragon. When he did finally find it, Donovan decided to spare it. The dragon, grateful for its spared life, blessed the young man with powers as well. He was blesses with eternal youth and the power of shape-shifting. So, he was always young. He never aged from his nineteen year old self. The dragon granted it so that he wouldn't begin to age till his true love was his age as well.
"From the beginning, the two hit it off great. They were inseparable; always side-by-side. Well, days turned into week, weeks turned into months, months turned into years, years became decades. By the time Catriona turned nineteen, the two knew they truly loved each other. A year passed after Catiorna's nineteenth birthday, and Donovan was taking by surprise. He actually began to age. His hair grew longer and he himself grew taller. True Love was between them. They soon married as true lovers did and had children. But recently, the Beastlyheart lineage has been disappearing. Those two are the last of the Beastlyheart line."
Suddenly the door burst open. There stood Ryu Beastlyheart without his beloved sister. Instead with him, he had a ferocious looking dog. It was black as shadows and larger than most with cruel red eyes. It had a vicious grin on its face. It wore some sort of chain collar with a charm that looked like half a heart.
"Hello," he muttered when he acknowledged the group.
"Sit by us," Olivia managed to say.
Ryu only shrugged and took an empty seat.
"So where is your sister?" Charlie asked.
"At home."
"Why are you here?" tried Gabriel.
"I come hear often. My parents were good friends with Orvill and Onoria."
"So what's your dog's name?" Benjamin asked.
"Kuro Shikyo."
"Black Death?" responded Lysander.
"Yes."
"Hey Ryu," Mr. Onimous said.
"Hi Orvill."
"Why don't you let this group go to your house, Ryu. It must get a bit lonely being there with lonely your sister in that huge house," suggested Mr. Onimous.
Ryu only shrugged. He looked at Kuro Shikyo , who nodded, and he replied, "Okay."
Mr. Onimous smiled and let them on their merry way. Outside, a limo awaited Ryu and Kuro. The limo was large and black with a luxurious interior. The whole ride was silent except for the occasional growl or squeak from the animals. The ride was going to be a long one.
But suddenly someone noticed, "Where'd Kuro Shikyo go?"

Billy quickly went to Ezekiel Bloor's office. He knocked and quickly entered.
"Mr. Ezekiel, Blessed- er Percy said that there was a new animal here. I've seen it myself. It was like a large black dog. It was darker than the shadows, bigger than a large dog, and had gleaming red eyes," Billy said, "like that one!"
I pair of gleaming eyes appeared behind Ezekiel. He gasped and jumped off his chair. There came a deep growl and a black dog came from the shadows. It gave a cunning smile.
"Billy get out of this room now," Ezekiel ordered.
Billy quickly obeyed. He ran out the door closing it from behind him.
"What are you doing here, Kaida?" growled Ezekiel.
"I know what you did. I know what happened to Oka-san and Otou-san. I will not fall into your idiotic plan. The Bloor's as well as the Yewbeam's excluding Paton are now enemies of the Beastlyhearts. And that is not good," snarled Kaida.
"Is that so?" snickered Ezekiel.
"Hai, Zeke-baka," Kaida grinned, "Ja mata ne."
Then, Kaida disappeared.
