Chapter 10

And Away We Go

Lily smiled as she woke up. She was leaving in a few hours. After they had packed they had all gone out hunting, Ash and her had been selected to stay together since they were both probably being hunted. It had been nice, they talked about a lot of things, one of which was his soulmate Marry Lennet. She had been a little disappointed at her thoughts of earlier being true, but she was happy for him anyway.

They had all returned rather quickly and gotten some sleep, Ash slept in their guest bedroom. Now it was six in the morning and they were leaving at eight.

Lily jumped out of bed and ran downstairs. Her brothers were already dressed and loading the car with their suitcases. She smiled and gave them each a kiss on the cheek, then found Ash sitting on the couch, she went and sat next to him.

"Hi," she said, giving him a kiss on the cheek, he raised his eyebrow at her.

"You're in a good mood this morning." She shrugged.

"So how long will it take to get to Vegas?" She asked.

"Probably about eight hours, depending on how fast your dad drives of course." She nodded thoughtfully then stood up.

"I'm gonna hop in the shower," she said as she started back up the stairs.

She popped in and out of the shower and then went into her room, she had picked out the greatest outfit for entering Las Vegas. She chose a black mini skirt with a fire design done in blue around the hem, and a matching tank top which was the same color blue and had black flames. She threw this on and then tied her hair in a quick bun at the nape of her neck, leaving a few stray whisps of hair to frame her face.

"Going to a party?" Ash asked as she came down the stairs.

"Funny, what you think it's too much?" She asked.

"Naw, you look great. Come on kid the car is gonna leave without you." She looked at the clock and was surprised to see that it was almost eight. She had spent a lot longer than she thought getting ready.

"Let's go then," she said as she ran out to the car, she stopped in shock. Her parents limo sat in front of the house with all their things in it, her parents never let her go anywhere in their limo.

"Gotta travel in style," Shiloh said from the car as she walked to it.

'Nice," she smirked as she got in. This would be an awesome trip.

"We'll be at Thiery's house in a few minutes, clean yourselves up now," their mother ordered. They had been on the road about seven hours and had finally made it to Las Vegas. Lily ignored her mother knowing she still looked good, even after a seven hour road trip, and looked out the window. The lights were amazing, everything seemed so beautiful, so bright.

"So surreal," a voice whispered in her head, and she turned to Ash. She found that she actually enjoyed his company, in the past day and a half they had become fairly close friends. Lily nodded understanding to his comment, he was right nothing was real here, it was all fake. She looked out the window again, a different gleem in her eyes.

"You know the Night World runs Vegas, all different factions live here under assumed identities," Shiloh was telling Noah.

"Makes sense," she murmured.

"Why is that?" Ash asked with a smirk.

"Well there's always tourists here, nobody is ever the same. They would have free run of the place because nobody would ever really know if some one was missing," she said logically.

"That's why it was created," Ash nodded. The limo turned down a few streets and onto a very expensive streets. Huge mansions lined the streets.

"Wow," she whispered in awe as the limo stopped in front of a very large house with black roses done in stained glass all across the front.

"Everybody out," her mother said, opening the door and ushering them out of the car. They stood on the sidewalk looking up at the grand mansion in front of them. "Come on," their mother said as she pushed them along the winding sidewalk to the grand front door. Their mother leaned over Jason and rang the doorbell, the sound of ringing chimes could be heard through the door.

The door opened and there stood a tall, dark haird vampire. "Yes?" He asked, looking from person to person.

"Nilson," their father said with a smile.

"Hello Sir, and Madam, lovely to see you both. These must be your children, won't you please come in? Theiry has been expecting you," Nilson said, opeing the door wider for them to pass through.

The entryway was huge, a waterfall like fountain sat beside the door and it was so beautiful it took Lily's breath away.

"This way, he's in his study," Nilson said as he led them through the grand house to a rather large study where an incredibly sexy man sat at a huge desk looking through papers. He had blond hair and dark, fathomless eyes. "Sir, the Ambrose's are here, and Ash as well."

"Wonderful," Theiry said, standing from his chair. "I'd offer you all a seat but my study doesn't seem to have enough chairs. You look ravishing Kathy, Tom, it's a pleasure. Perhaps the veranda would fit us all, come I'll tell Hannah you're here as well." Thiery smiled at them all and they followed him upstairs where he knocked on a door, then outside to the veranda.

It was beautiful, everything here was, the veranda had a multitude of couches, tables, and chairs. The stars shown down on them, giving them enough illumination to see if they hadn't been vampires and able to see in pitch blackness.

"Let's see here," Thiery said as he looked around at them. "You must be Shiloh," he said offering Shiloh his hand.

"Kaleb," Kaleb said as he offered his hand. Thiery went down the line until he got to Noah and Lily.

"And you two must be the famous twins I've heard so much about, Noah and Lily," he took their hands in turn and then gestured for them all to sit. They talked mostly of things inconsequential, that is until a beautiful girl walked out onto the veranda. Thiery, Ash, her mother and father all stood as she walked out wearing a bright smile.

"Hannah it's wonderful to see you again," her mother said, kissing the girl on the cheek. Her father followed her example.

"It's been a while, eh Hanna?" Ash asked with a smile and a hug.

"Yes it has Ash, how's Mary?" Hannah asked.

Ash shrugged, "haven't seen her in a while, last we talked she was doing well though. She just graduated."

"That's wonderful," Hannah said.

"Hello darling," Thiery said, and his eyes lit up as he spoke to her. "These are the long awaited Ambrose children. Shiloh, Kaleb, Jason, Josh, Noah and Lily," he said, indicating them as he spoke. She smiled and nodded to them all.

She sat down on the couch next to Thiery and took his hand. "So why are you here so soon?" She asked suddenly, looking straight at Noah and Lily, they in turn looked at their parents. They had no idea there was a schedule.

"Some people have discovered them, we thought it best to leave town quickly," at her mother's words Thiery and Hannah's eyes grew huge.

"Who?" He asked simply.

"Their names are Lane, Patty and Alder. Lane and Patty were friends of mine growing up, Alder we had just met," Lily said. Thiery nodded as she spoke.

"We knew of them, of your friend too Noah, but we didn't think to worry since the Night World doesn't know who and what you are, we didn't think they would attack," Thiery said.

"It wasn't the Night World, they did it on their own," Lily said at the same time that Noah spoke up.

"What friend?" He asked. Thiery looked at him.

"You don't know about your friend Andrew? He's a shapeshifter that was sent to watch over you, at this point we aren't sure if he's with Night World or against them anymore, but he did work for them at one point." A look of shock came over Noah's face. Lily sympathized with him, she understood what it was like to find out your friends weren't truly friends.

"And Alder?" Thiery asked, turning back to Lily.

"He's in the trunk," she said. Thiery nodded.

"He's being taken out as we speak, what should we do with him though?"

Lily shrugged and looked to Ash who also shrugged.

"Kill him?" Shiloh asked a bit too casually.

"No," Lily said at once. "We can't go around killing people. Keep him here, find out what he knows, but don't kill him."

"How long should we keep him though?" Thiery asked.

"I'm not sure," she said.

"She's right Thiery, we can't kill him. It would make us no better then them, but we can't keep him here forever. Let's decide this later right now our guests are probably tired, we'll have Nilson show you to your rooms," Hannah said with a smile.

Everyone stood as Nilson entered.

"Alder is in the interogation room, the rest of you please follow me. Would you like your old room Ash?" Nilson asked as they followed him off the veranda.

"That'd be gret Nil," Ash said blandly. Nilson nodded and led them all to separate rooms that were next to each other. Lily's room was a dark blue, just like her room at home. She smiled as she walked in and saw the huge bed, her own bathroom, and a bookshelf filled with books. The room had its own balcony and she took no time in going to examine it, Ash it seemed had the same idea. As she walked out she saw him standing on a balcony next to hers looking up at the stars.

"You miss her, don't you," she said, making him turn and stare at her.

"Yes," he said simply, then turned to look up again.

"Shouldn't you go back and see her then?"

"Not yet, I have this nagging feeling that you guys are going to need me, maybe I'm just being narcisistic but I tend to follow my feelings. I'm part witch, you know, sometimes I think I'm clairvoyant," Ash said.

"Well I would love to have you stay, you're a good friend," Lily said with a smile.

"You too Lily," he said. She turned and went inside then. She had plans for the night, she wasn't going to stay locked indoors, she wanted to have some fun.
