Till the Shadows of Night Come: Hidden in Shadows

Chapter Twenty-Two

What Thanks?

There was laughter and smiles as they gathered around a large table covered in fall and Thanksgiving decorations. It was almost as if they had forgotten about the war, about the demons, about Elios.

But it was a perfect reminder of what they were trying to get out of all the hard work, unity.

Rini sat next to her family smiling politely and making conversation only when necessary, her mind distracted. She sighed and placed a hand on her slightly protruding stomach, just starting to show. In her mind it was as if she was the only one that realized that in a little over a week that some of them would be dying, but then again, that could be exactly why they were celebrating. They were celebrating while they had time.

Amora and Siran sat with their family watching their best friend feeling sorry for the poor girl. She was lovely to say the least, but the fact stood that they felt horrible that she had to go through all this stress while pregnant and the father of the child as well as the love of her life had promised to kill her. They looked at each other and nodded understanding that the other one felt horrible for the poor girl.

Serenity held her husband's hand as she studied her daughter. Rini had lost weight, but gained a slight stomach because of her pregnancy, her crimson eyes were haunted and lost looking; her pale complexion was paler then normal. Her daughter was heart broken and confused, hurt and frustrated. Rini was between a rock and the Incredible Hulk.

Rini got up and left everyone at the table and went to the upper level of the warehouse. She sighed as she sat on the window ledge looking out and around the area. She sighed and placed her hand on her forehead closing her eyes. "Lord…why did this have to happen me?"

"Destiny…" a small shy voice sounded from the doorway. She looked up to see her little sister Bunny standing in the doorway rocking back and forth on her heels. Bunny was young, only sixteen years old, and had already seen so much pain. Bunny was, so far, a bit more of an oddball in her family. While everyone else dressed in black, she preferred a bit more color from her blue hair down to her hot pink fishnet shirt, black t-shirt, neon green belt, black and neon pink baggy pants and neon blue cConverse, she looked like a punk rock raver from hell.

"Destiny is a bitch right now…" Rini said as her shy sister came over and hugged her. "But at least there are more places to hide and use for combat then there was when we lived in Sacramento." She sighed and ruffled Bunny's hair and smiled resting her cheek on her little sister's head.

Bunny nodded her head and sighed holding onto her. "Can Selene and I help fight?"

"No, you two have to help take care of Caiden, Wyatt, Kelby, Maylin, Keahi and Aquarius and the other youngsters. Blaze and Harper and them can't take care of them all by themselves and take care of the other youngsters and the elderly." Rini said sitting up and looking her little sister in her bright blue eyes.

Bunny nodded and crossed her arms, obviously not pleased but accepting it. "Alright…"

"Hey, why don't you go back down and finish eating. I'll be right down alright?"

"Yeah." Bunny turned and left Rini to her own thoughts.

"I shouldn't even be here…not with my own baby coming along. Four months pregnant…I can't believe it…" She shook her head and got up and looked over the balcony at her family eating with the others. Soon Bunny and Selene would be leaving with the rest of those that couldn't fight to where Blaze had taken the others and then the fighting would commence. She shook her head, covering her face with her hands. "Shit…"

Alan looked out from the window in his office and watched Elios march back and forth barking orders and helping their men train. He knew the threat of the descendants would be great. There was no denying that. He was afraid of the extinction of his demons and he was afraid to tell Elios that he thought they should just turn tail and run. Elios would kill him for that and assume grand control with him gone. Alan shook his head; at least he had found his true love before he died. "Anne…I am so sorry…"

Elios swung his sword around practicing for the fight that would come. "Stupid…" He swung his sword into the manikin in front of him "bitch!" he cut the manikin's head off and stepped back and sighed wiping sweat from his forehead. Even after all of this he couldn't stop thinking of Rini's beauty. He swore and kicked the manikin across the warehouse. "Fuck!"

He would get her out of his head if it was the last thing he did, and the only way to do that was to kill the fucking bitch. He grinned maliciously and walked towards the storeroom to grab another manikin. He would kill her and her family and all of the descendants, starting in New York and moving onwards and out wards across the country and eventually the world…
