Three O'clock came faster then expected and although Danial looked cool and calmed she was far from it. Inside her the norvousness was spreading through her body like wildfire. There was no way out of this and the sad thing was that no one beside her was home. Carlisle had been called to a meeting at the hospital hours ago. Esme, Rosalie and Emmett had gone back to their house to gather their belongings. The whole Cullen family would be moving into the manor until further notice. They were too involve with her family to be left unprotected, an attack just two hours ago had proven that. It seemed that news about the Cullen being close to them had been spread around the dark realm. Lythian was now investigating there undercover as a demon. The slamig of breaks brought Danial back to the present the time had come, and in just a matter of second she would have to tell Jacob and Edward the news. Her only hope was that thing turned out okay but with Edward she didn't know how he would react.
The hope for things to go well was shattered with the angered faces of her brothers. How bad was their first day? It seemed that Edward and Jacob weren't with them. "You don't--" Alice stopped in mid sentence as Danial made her way in the kitchen. The feel of the room told her it had been a very bad day. People up there hated her. Why did they have to sending me bad new today of all days? "What happened?" Lucifer avoided her stare and question, as did Miguel. Looking at Alice and Jasper for an explanation all she go was a shrug of the shoulder from Alice. "Is anyone going to answer me?"
Again no answer it was getting to her. Danial didn't have the patient for this today. The sooner she was done with her brothers the sooner it would be on less thing to worry about. Okay they're not going to talk. Lucifer must have gotten them not to on the way here. "Where is Edward and Jacob?"
It took a good few seconds before Alice answered. "Don't know all Edward said was that they would be here by five."
Not good. Damn, damn, damn!! When am I going to get a break. Its fine if they're a few minutes behind but TWO hours. Who knows what could happened. Danial's patients were nonexisting at the moment. "Alice call them and tell them to get their asses back here immediately. Lucifer. Miguel. Conservatory now." I am not dealing with this shit today. I already have enough to worry about. She stormed out brothers following behind. Doors were closed leaving them alone inside with no one to disturbed them. "Alright talk."
"There's nothing to talk about. What, can't we have a bad day without there being something wrong?" the vase on the table beside Lucifer exploded.
"I have no patients left." clearly the stress and worry were getting to Danial.
"We got in a fight with some guys at school."
"Why?"
"Hey, they had it coming. We took their bullshit talk about our family."
"They cross the line when they started insulting our parents." Miguel added anger matching Lucifer's.
Danial felt a headache coming on sighing heavily and serious face she took a sit on the table in front of her brothers. "Look, you two know we have a history here. People don't forget about the mysteries that surround our family, even after ten years. There is no logical way to explain them, so people come up with their own reasons. The parents must have told them about the time our perants lived here, and the weird things that happened. Lucifer. Miguel they're mortals. They are just curious about things that can't be explained. Next time just try to control your anger. We don't need the Avatars down here."
Reluctantly both nodded. Anger still boiled inside of them, but for their sister's peace of mind they would calm down. At least this problem is mostly solved. Now to Edward and Jacob. Edward and Jacob had arrived and Danial's time to reveal the bad news to the parents to be had come. She sat them down before they could question her. The rest joined them in the dinning room. The news of the Ancients had really but Lucifer and Miguel in a fit of anger. Their anger and hatred for them was unlimited. True, they had never fought them, but what they had seen in Danials memories had been enough for them to hate them with a passion unlike any other. Now the time for Edward and Jacob to know about the danger their baby will be going through when it will be born. The instead the news left her mouth all hell broke loose. "WHAT?!"
The anger of three vampires and a werewolf was a force to reckon with. A pissed off vampire father to be is very scary. Edward looked at her with pure disbelieve and shock. No no way I'm going to let those bastards come near Jacob and my child. A life time to live and I'll be damn if they harmed my family. Now a pissed off pregnant, male, werewolf you will not live. "Jacob will take care of you and your baby."
Her words only scared Jacob even more. "What do they want with an innocent baby?" Alice asked the one question that Danial didn't want to answer.
Danial just sat there debating in her head if she should answer that. "Answer damn it!"
With a prayer in her head she answered,''The birth of the child might cause a shift in the balance of magic that will open the opening the Ancients have already made. The Ancients want the baby to...to drain the magic the baby will receive when he or she is born. The baby will have magic from Hollow and will stop the seal from sealing them back when the time for it to close."
"...Drain!? Those sick bastards want to drain my baby?!"
"Jacob--"
"No! Don't Jacob me!" lightbulbs started to exploded. Edward grabbed Jacob getting him away from the table.
In a sudden instead the shattering stopped. Everyone looked from the chandelier to Danial. Danial was amazed of how Jacob awoke this kind of power. He might be young but he care for his child like any adult would. "Wha what just happened?" everyone looked up to the chandelier around it the broken glass stopped in midair, the glass sparkled like sun reflecting on water.
"This is the last bit of news that I have to share with you all." Edward was getting try of this. Jacob's reacting to these news is bad for his health. It could harmed the development of the baby.
"These are good news or at least the way I see them." she quickly added seeing Edwards frustration.
"Well, at least there is some bit of good news in all these ordeals."
All attention was once again given to Danial with the hopes that it was good new. "The wave of magic that help Jacob get pregnant also gave everyonw with no power a copy of my power or powers. I still don't know if anyone got more then one. Now as you just saw Jacob got the advance version of my power to freeze objects." she pause to let him take this in. "The reason you have a power is due to the reason of protection. The magic gave you an active, powerful power so you can defend yourself. It also may make you a shield around you when you feel you are in danger. Those so far are the two things that magic will do for you that I have found out."
...
...
"Well? Someone say something."
"That is good news" Lucifer smacked Miguel for being an idiot. "I was just saying."
"Okay lets get all this straight. The Ancients have found a way to come out to this plain. The birth of Jacob's baby may cause a shift in the balance that will let them every soon. Their followers are in charge to get the baby from us to... to obtain his or her magic to stopping the opening from sucking them back in. But the magic that you unleash not only help Jacob get pregnant it also gave him a copy of your power and a powerful shield. " Lucifer summed it up.
"Not just Jacob but Edward and the rest of his family. Edward was hit with the magic when him and Jacob were being busy. The rest were present in the room when I unleash the magic."
"So the lightbulbs from the chandelier suddenly shattering was because of my doing, right?"
"Yes, the power you got works when you experience a great deal of anger. All you need to do is focus to control it and to keep you anger in check. You see our powers function with our emotions. Since you aren't a witch the power and magic you got are still working with your body and emotion. Meaning that the magic with create a shield when you feel you are in danger. The power, the one to blow up objects, is to use at your will. I think since Edward can read minds then he may have gotten telekinesis."
"Telekinesis?"
"Mmhm, Here let that anger out and focus you mind on this candle." a candle was placed in front of him, but after a few moments nothing happened. Looks like he'll need some help. Here go nothing.
"The Ancients want your child Edward and will stop at nothing it get it. An innocent child just to gain their freedom and there is nothing you can do to stop them. Jacob alone can't stop them he and your child will die if you are not there to protect them. You'll lose them for ever the Ancient will take pleasure in watching you suffer at the lost of their lives. Their revenge on the three groups that turned against them, the werewolf, the vampire, and the witch. Jacob will die, the baby will die and you will be left here to suffer an eternity knowing that you alone fai--" "STOP!!"
If it hadn't been for her quick reaction to orbing Danial would have been thrown right through the window followed by the still frozen glass. It was amazing how strong the anger was. Edward managed to not only move the objects in front of him, but slightly move the ones to his side. Like a wave of air unable to be felt. I think I over did it, Danial could clearly see it was hard for Edward to keep his anger in check. They all just stared at Edward amazed at how much strength his anger fueled his power. The thought on everyone's mine was not to make Edward mad unless you wanted to be thrown out a window.
"Feel better?" Jacob gently made his way to Edward. Edward held tight to him, No ones taking you from me. No one. I'll protect you Jacob.
"I'm not going anywhere Edward. I'm here." Jacob whispered resting his head on Edwards shoulder.
"Tracker demon!" Lythain suddenly appeared
Quickly diving to the left just as a demon appeared. He didn't even have time to speak a word before blowing up in flames. The two couples just turned to Danial, "There is a lot to be learned."
From that day things changed for everyone Edward and Jacob were being trained by Danial. More research was done to see the affects magic had done to the Cullen. All there was left to do is to see who exactly received a power. In the mean time Danial has being teaching the Cullen's about demon, witches and everything that there was to know about what she and her brothers did. They had gotten involved with the family too much that they were now targets of demon attacks. Within a month the Cullen family decided to move back to their house which Danial, after experimenting with the white crystal, put blessed crystal around their property keeping some demons out.
Jacob was now offcialy a Montenegro and with the permission of Danial he could move in with Edward. But Edward not wanting to take any risks, in case the crystal failed, had decided to stay in the manor where Jacob could be protected. Jacob's pregnancy was coming along fine he and Edward would stay up late at night and just talk about the future that awaited them. Now two months pregnant, which for him was more like three and a half months, Jacob was starting to show, but just a little. The question now was what to do when he really starting to show. Not caring to much Jacob decided to wait until later the craving had started. Not only that but Jacob was starting to feel extremely warm which Edward could smell. Edward decided he liked it.
*****************
I hope this is part of the pregnancy. God do I feel HOT! Jacob, like many women that go through pregnancy, was feeling flushed and warm. His body feeling hot the need of release was shouting at him, and the one person that could give him that was not back from feeding. Why of all weeks did it have to be this week. Returning to his room he soon feel asleep his senses not hearing Edward come in. At the site of him Edward could see the blush that cover is face and his heavy breathing. Not only that but the scent of his arousal was strong making Edward lust over him. Self-control was leaving Edward fast the scent was driving him crazy, but before turning to leave Jacob half asleep sat up eyes close and slowly, as if he was tempting Edward, took his shirt off. His nice tan chest was visible, arms slowly rising the shirt up, back arching back. Edward was by his side in a matter of second taking hold of Jacob's arms helping take the shirt off. "Edward?"
"Shh." kisses where being placed up and down Jacob's neck.
Edward was gentle and caring that Jacob though he was still dreaming. But his cool hands running up his sides making him shiver meant that he really was here with him. "I missed you." it was barely a whisper but Edward was able to hear it.
"I know. I missed you too." another shiver ran down Jacob's spine as Edwards lips brushed the side of his neck.
Jolts of pleasure rushed inside him. Edward's gentle kissing and caressing was igniting a fire inside of him. Taking hold of Edward's face Jacob found himself staring at golden eyes. They always had a power over him he became lost in them. Edward could feel the heat radiate from Jacob and hit his ice, cold body like heat waves. Kissing him Edward loved the way their tongues moved against each other, their bodies pressing close, Jacob's scent. He loved everything about it and no one, not even Bella had the ability to make him feel like he felt now. Alive. Not just in a moment like this but every day. "Edward. Edward please." Jacob manage to say between kisses. Every kiss, every touch was gentle, soft, lovely.
*Dark Relm*
"Shit!! Lucifer throw me a potion!"
"Someone start rhyming this is our last one! Duck!" Demon when up in flames.
In the last week they had many demons to deal with. There were innocents to be save, trying to find the Ancients plane, their followers coming at them. Each day the pain form the mark was getting greater Danial was loosing control over her emotions, which in turn affected her powers and demon fighting. Their powers right now do not have much affect on these kind of demons. You've got to be kidding me. Three potions to kill just one clone! Danial's time was running out the pain was taking over her body shutting it down and canceling her magic. The weak blast that made contact with on of them told her so. No. Not now. Just a little bit longer. But the pain was getting unbaerable by the minute. "Danial look out!" the warning was given too late. Something had pierced her hip.
--
"Esme you okay?"
--
"Dr. Cullen is everything alright?"
--
"I don't know/I'm not sure."
--
The demon was gone in that instead. "Danial. Danial, oh god! Come on answer me!"
"Why isn't she healing? Lucifer!"
"I don't know! Danial come on."
"Lets get her to a hospital." without thinking Miguel blurted out
"We can't just orb there. We'll expose ourselves." she was barely able to say. No. Please don't something in her started to raise and to her great surprise it was fear.
"Who gives a shit. Miguel orb her I'll cover you."
Appearing in the bushes covered from the view of the cameras Lucifer orbed them to look at another direction. Just in time as Miguel orbed in with Danail good thing there weren't any people coming in. Lucifer picked her up rushing inside. "We need help here!"
A bed was rushed in taking Danial to a room. Another set of nursed came and checked on Miguel and Lucifer seeing the bruised and cuts on them. After much fuss that they were all right they were taken to Danial. Getting in the room they were horrified seeing Danial with wires attached all over her. Shouting here and there as the nurses were trying to keep Danial awake asking her questions. Basically anything to keep her talking, while inside her body was still shutting her down. The mark on her shoulder burning with pain and as much as she fought it it was not use. Carlisle appear out of no where nearly given everyone a heart at. His eyes widen at the sight of Danail. A thousand questions came rushing to his mind, but put them aside. "What is her status?"
"She has a wound to the hip. Both her heart rate and body temperature are low. She losing consciousness but she hasn't lose much blood. There are some bruises on her. Her brothers also have some but they seem to be fine."
Terror was sticking inside Danial, I can't be here not again. Let me out. Please. "Doctor! She isn't responding."
From there things went on a rush orders were barked here and there. Lucifer and Miguel were force to wait in the waiting room. "What now?"
"Call Lythian."
-------
"What do you think that was about?"
"I don't know Emmett. But it had to be something big to get Esme this nervous."
"What exactly happen?" Lythian had only arrived a few minutes his training with Emmett was held at the Cullen's house.
"We were all in the living room when Esme just froze or something. She said that a bad feeling over came her. Nothing else."
"That's very strange. Oh, one moment. Hello? Hey... what! How? I'm on my way. Danial is in the hospital. Herself healing didn't work for some reason." All panic broke loose inside Lythian.
The sound of screeching tires taking off in the distance range through the house. Rosalie and Emmtt were just getting out of the house, "Whats going on?"
"Danial's in the hospital. We're going." Rosalie called out to Alice.
"Jasper! Esme!" Running inside the house trying to find them.
"What,s that matter."
"Danial is in the hospital. Rosalie and Emmett just left I'm going too. "
Within seconds the house was empty everyone heading to the hospital worry about Danial's well being. All three cars took off at top speed leaving blurs of black and silver. How the hell did this happen? Danial's self healing is one of the strongest powers she has. It came from the Hollow for God sake. There is no stronger power than the one Danial holds inside her. Shit! What the fuck is going on. If this keeps up the balance will be tipped. We'll have the Avatars on our case again. Finally here.
Getting out of the car Lythian rushed in the hospital but didn't see Miguel and Lucifer anywhere. Then it hit him. Do those two ever stop to think. They're going to get themselves killed. "Where are Lucifer and Miguel?" Rosalie asked
Sighing "Getting themselves killed."
--
"What do you think it will be?" Jacob asked looking down at Edward.
Since the growing of his child, to the point where you knew where it was growing, Edward had gotten the habit of laying his head right next to Jacob's belly. A gentle rub of the nose Edward could feel his growing child. During the nights he would lay like this every so often placing a kiss or gentle rub. He loved it. There were no workd to described the emotions he felt, none at all.
"I don't know. But it doesn't matter." Jacob nodded to that.
He loved moment like this. Where the problem at hand disappeared and no one else matter, but the two of them and their baby. Unfortunately the moment was cut short, "I'll get it."
With the fast speed a vampire had Edward was down stair about to answer the door, but came to a sudden stop as the door was kicked in. Coming in not word said Lythian made his way up the stairs. Rushing back up Edward question Lythian who in turn ignore him. A hard fist to the attic door and it was broken inward just as Lucifer and Miguel orbed in. "The hell do you two think your doing?" Lythian growl at them.
"You shouldn't be here Lythan."
"I shouldn't be here?! I should be the one chasing this demon while you two should be in the hospital waiting news of your sister!" with each word Lythian's voice and anger rose.
Shouting between the three of them broke out. It all came to a stop by a loud blast. All turned to Jacob, "Alright, what's going one?" no one answered for until Miguel whispered voice spoke.
"See anyone missing?" and just like that realization hit the two brothers
Their sister, the most powerful being on any world, had been hurt and put in a hospital where she was no unresponsive. They could do nothing but wait.
--
Carlisle stood by the side of Danial's bed trying to find the cause of her sudden coma. A wound to the hip could not have put her in this state even if it was with a magical weapon. Fist clinched with anger that he had no idea where it came from. Why do I feel so much guilt? I don't know what it is. Turning to the door Carlisle came to look upon Esme. Standing beside him they both turned to Danial unknown to the other that they both were feeling the same thing about her. But what was that feeling they don't know only that there was something about Danial that they could not understand and it was connected to each of them. In there mind each thought it was wrong but something unknown to them told them it was right.
"Dr. Carlisle. The test results and x-rays are in. You won't believe what we found." another doctor came in the room.
Handing over the results and placing the x-rays in light the image shocked everyone. Thousands of questions cross over Carlisle and Esme's. "Dear God." Esme gasped.
"As you can see if the knife had pierce more to the right, well, that would have been it. If I had to guess two, two and half tops"
"Lets make sure everything is fine before I talk to the family. Esme please go wait outside." With a nod and understanding the silent message Esme left to the waiting area.
In the hour that follow Lythain manage to return to the hospital with Lucifer and Miguel, along with Jacob and Edward. After the second hour things were getting more intense for everyone. Lucifer and Miguel were loosing their patients, but Esme was loosing a self battle of telling the of the brothers about their sister's situation. Deciding it was best for Carlisle to be the one to explain the situation Esme stayed quiet. It wasn't for another hour until Carlisle finally came into the room. The room become quieter, if possible, "Lythian. Lucifer. Miguel come with me."
"Hey, at least tell us how Danial is." a worry Jacob demanded
"She is for no in a coma. We think its temporary but we're not sure." with that the four of them headed to Carlisle's office.
Carlisle didn't know what had him on edge, but out of no where an anger was building inside him something he couldn't explain. "When was the last time Danial had a sexual relationship?" was the fist question he asked the moment the door to the office was close.
"The hell kind of is that?" clearly Lucifer didn't like what had been asked.
"Carlisle just tell us what is wrong with Danial." Please don't say it. Please let it be something else. Lythian prayed.
"Danial is pregnant. Two months so far."
"Fuck."
"Shit."
"Damn."
Their reactions were not the ones Carlisle had thought would be. Something is off here. They aren't demanding to know how this is possible or raging up a storm. "Carlisle, are you sure about this?"
That question only added more suspicion to the whole thing. Almost as if they knew. How? "Yes, I'm sure."
The silence of the room was disturbed by the burst in of a nurse. "Doctor she's gone!"
-------
"What are you doing here, Danial? You are not suppose to be here."
She didn't pay much attention to the person that had sat behind her. She knew he really wasn't there and if she turned to look at him the memories would come back to her. "I'm not know. Just thinking I guess."
"Ah, this place is great for thinking. What are you thinking about?"
"Things."
"Like?"
"Like why was it me that had to be born on that day? Why you have been recently haunting my dreams? Did I save you?"
There was no answer it didn't matter if she was dreaming or not the answer never came. They sat in silence like always just looking at the stars and moon in the place that she had build over four centuries ago. After a while a sighed, then a glow and she was alone again. Like it should have stayed. Why? Why did you do it? Look what happened. "It wasn't you that failed it was me." she whispered in the night. The place started to shimmer sighing she stood up ready as her surroundings started to change. "I made a promise and I intend to keep it."
oOoOo
I know you are all mad at me for taking way too long. And you all have a right to be mad. But at least I update. RxR (PLEASE!)
