Till the Shadows of Night Come: Hidden in Shadows

Chapter Fifteen

Here's To The Night

The night stood still as an awkward silence fell over the crowd. Rini sat side by side with the leaders of the local groups including her new help, Saturn. Jebadiah leaned back against the cold metal a smug smile on his face. "Rini, the Nimir-Raj of a were-leopard pack outside of the city would like to help our cause."

Rini looked down and saw a man; about six foot five with shaggy dirty blonde hair that was shaved in a Mohawk style. His eyes were an odd light shade of chartreuse, they looked like cat eyes and he had a leopard print that went from his wrist up his arms. He looked quiet odd standing in the warehouse shirtless, with large scratch marks up his back, surrounded by his pard who were all bundled up due to the chilly weather.

Rini leaned over the railing on her arms and smirked. He was at least attractive "Who are you?"

"I am Nimir-Raj, Vahn Omega, here to offer my help and the help of my pard to you cause." He flashed Rini a fang filled grin while crossing his arms over is nipple pierced chest.

"Well Vahn…"

"Please just call me Neko."

"OK…Neko…why would you help us. We're outside of your territory."

"They're branching out."

"What do you mean "branching out"? You mean they are moving into different cities to hunt us down?" Amora asked coming up beside Rini.

Vahn nodded and looked back at his pard. "That's precisely what that means. A tall man with long silver hair attacked a local Obi in our area."

Amora looked at Siran. Siran sighed "an Obi is the leader of a were-hyena pack."

"The help would be greatly appreciated…" Rini said smiling gently at the man. He wasn't bad, a little odd, but not bad. "But how old are you? You seem so young to be a Nimir-Raj."

He laughed and looked down at the toes of his black and white converse. "Yeah, young I am." He stroked a hand down the dark brown tuft of hair under his lip "I'm twenty-three."

Rini just laughed "With a pard that large, and you were able to become a Nimir-Raj so young, you would make an impressive ally, we accept your help Nimir-Raj Vahn.

With the night wind brushing her bare back Rini sat curled up on the balcony of the apartment curled up against her mother.

"I'm a fool mom…"

Serenity sighed and stroked her daughter's hair "no you aren't. You were in love, and love makes us blind."

"But a Fallen? I should have sensed that. How can I lead if I am so weak that I can't even sense a Fallen?" Rini whimpered out.

"He's been around for a long time Rini; he can probably hide his aura a lot better then you can." Serenity kissed her daughter's head.

Rini sobbed lightly into her mother's shirt. "Rini, I talked with the elders. They said that you are going to lead the battle against Elios and the demons…"

"Its true…Jebadiah spoke with me about it. I was basically voted in as leader when I was the only to rally the descendants together after them being segregated for centuries. I'm a hero to these people mom and I haven't even really done anything! I haven't beaten them…I've…" Rini sighed "literally slept with the enemy."

"Rini, your father and I had been mortal enemies for centuries. We hunted each other down. We had every intention of killing one another. But something happened. We fell in love and have been in love for twenty-four glorious years and hopefully we will continue loving each other until the cosmos deems in necessary for us to die." Serenity said with a wistful smile.

"I just wish that Elios and I had been like you and dad…but we're not. Dad was born to kill descendants…Elio…" Rini sighed again and wiped a tear from her cheek "no not Elio, Elios was born human. But he died and now, somehow he slipped past the radar and found his way to the mortal plane. He was supposed to stay in Hell, but now he brought Hell into our peaceful lives. God I wish he'd go away!"

"But Rini…what about the times you spent together, oblivious of what the other was?"

"I wouldn't give it up for the world…" Rini said with a small sad smile. "I had never been so happy in my life. I love Elios mom. I think…I always will. But what is will be. He is killing descendants, I am the one chosen to fight him, and that is what I will do because I must." Rini sighed and ran hands over her tired face "It is what I must do, whether that is what my heart wants me to do or not. I must think of him as the enemy, or else I will fail my task and I will fail everybody else. I already failed you and the family."

"Rini! However did you fail us?"

"I fell in love with Elios, led him to where you were, he tried to kill you! If Blaze hadn't gone out with the others and had been inside there is nothing he could've done to save you all!"

"Rini, that isn't failing us…and don't think of the "what ifs" or the "has beens". Blaze stopped the fire and that's all that matters!"

Rini sighed and snuggled closer to her mother. "I'm scared mommy."

Serenity looked down at Rini and hugged her tightly. Everybody needs their mommies every now and then, and right now, Rini needed her. "I know baby, I know. I was terrified when I was captured by Ynell. But it worked out right in the end."

"I guess Elios and I will have the night." Rini mumbled as she drifted off to sleep.

Serenity smiled sadly down at her daughter, tears in her own eyes and raised her coffee mug "that's right baby, here's to the night."
