Chapter 3

Tyson sighed heavily as he sat in his room; bored out of his mind. He had been here only a few days and already he wanted to leave. He could feel his people's hatred and he heard the rumours. Although a few of them were slightly true, but he wasn't going to admit to that, well not yet anyway. He didn't really care what they thought anyway. His missed Kai; his mate and the father of their unborn child.

//What's wrong Master?\\ Dragoon asked

//Nothing, just missing Kai that all, nothing to worry about\\ Tyson replied.

//It's common that you feel this way Master; it proves that your bond with Kai is so strong that you feel miserable without him.\\ Dragoon told him. Tyson nodded. What are you doing now Kai? Tyson thought to himself.

Kai paced within his room. He missed his mate, Tyson and wondered what he was doing at this moment. He didn't like being away from him, but he knew that there would be trouble if he went to see him, even in his wolf form. Kai looked back to the day he had returned and smirked.

Flashback

Kai wandered through the forest, thinking about what his mate was up to when he suddenly stopped. He was being followed.

//Dranzer how many are there following me?\\ Kai asked the firebird

Surprisingly only one\\ Dranzer replied. Kai smirked. He knew that the rest of the clan were intimidated by him and never approached him in general; however there was one person who dared and he was…

"Tala come out, I know your there." Kai said still smirking. He heard Tala chuckle as he appeared.

"Not lost your touch then" Tala said taking Kai's hand in his own and pulling him into an embrace. The broke apart.

"Never. What are you doing here?" Kai asked. Tala raised an eyebrow.

"Well as you know everyone been looking for you, but when they sensed you coming I was the only who came to greet you." Tala replied. Kai nodded.

"So what's been happening while I've been away?" Kai asked.

"Nothing much really, just everyone's been looking for you. Your father is furious and I think he knows that you mated with that demon" Tala told him. Kai growled and punched Tala.

"What was that for?" he asked growling.

"That demon is my mate and he has a name and his name is Tyson. Don't you ever forget it" Kai warned. Tala nodded.

"Don't worry I just wanted to know is the rumours were true and it looks like they are" Tala replied. Kai nodded and together they walked back to the vampire village. They entered the village and shortly after, the people started whispering and staring at him. He saw his father and walked towards him. He father looked at him and Kai bowed.

"So you have dared to return then?" his father asked.

"Of course I have father" Kai replied. He heard his father grunt.

"You are no son of mine; however you are still part of this clan. My warriors are looking for that demon and when the find him, he'll be brought here and executed" Kai stopped himself from giving anything away. His father was smart and could put the pieces together even with only a small amount of evidence; that's why his father was good at fighting and it was why the vampire's like him so much, he had given them many victories. You won't get close enough to do such a thing, I won't let you Kai thought to himself. He would defend Tyson, even if it cost him his life.

End of flashback

He was determined to keep Tyson and unborn child safe at all cost. That was what happened with mates; when threatened, mates defended each other even if it meant their life. However, Kai hoped that it wouldn't come to that. But if he had to choose between his mate and his father, it would be no contest; he would choose Tyson. Kai sat down and ran his hands through his hair. Tyson what are you doing now? Kai thought.

Tyson snuck out of his room and went straight to see Kale and Kali. He knocked and the door opened and Kale smiled warmly at him.

"Come in Tyson I was wondering when you were coming?" Kale said still smiling. Tyson entered but heard Devon behind him. He rushed towards him.

"Tyson I want to talk to you" he was about to grab in when Kale stopped him.

"Leave him, he doesn't want to speak with you and I will not let you. You've caused enough trouble" Kale said shutting the door. She knew that she was making enemies, but she didn't care. She had promised her friend, Kasumi that she would look after Tyson in her absence; and she would never break that promise.

"So what's wrong Tyson?" Kale asked looking at Tyson and with a comforting smile. Tyson smiled back and sighed.

"I suppose you've heard the stories about me?" he asked. Kale nodded.

"Well some of them are true lucky for me they think they're just rumours. However like I said some of them are true. I am mated with Kai and I am carrying his child." Tyson admitted, trusting Kale knowing that she would never betrayed him. Kale nodded.

"I thought so. You do realise what will probably happen when your father finds out?" Kale asked. Tyson nodded. When his father found out then Tyson would be banished and branded a traitor to his clan. However he didn't really care.

"What do you think I should do?" he asked. It was time for Kale to sigh. Ever since Kasumi had left, Kale had looked after Tyson as though he were her own son.

"Listen Tyson I can't tell you what to do but what I can say is that you should make up your own mind and stick to the path you decide to follow. I will always stand by whatever you decide, but you must choose, it's your life." Kale replied. Tyson nodded. He knew Kale was right.

"It looks like you don't need my help anyway." Kale continued.

"I just hope it's the right thing" Tyson said.

"Tyson whatever you choose will be what you think is right. You're carrying your mates child and as time goes on you'll need him more than ever. I think that in the end you'll make the correct choice and whatever that is you must stick to it" Tyson nodded once more, grateful for the advice Kale had given him. They sat there in silence. After a while of sitting in endless silence, Tyson got up, thanked Kale and left. Tyson had somehow managed to sneak back into his room without being detected.

//Do you know how Kai is?\\ Tyson asked Dragoon.

//I can find out for you\\ he responded before disappearing. Tyson sighed. He was alone and his heart ached with the pain of missing Kai. He felt their child kick and a small smile appeared on his face. Their child was moving; the child that hopefully will unite the clans and stop the war. He yawned and his eyes closed and he drifted off to sleep.

Vision

Tyson smiled as he watched his son play with his father. Tyson looked down and saw his baby sleeping peacefully in his arms. Everything seemed peaceful and safe. Suddenly the scene changed and he watched as vampires and demons alike were slaughtered in front of him. He took his children and tried to get them to safety, however they were cornered and trapped. Tyson then saw Devon, an older version of Devon step forward. Hands appeared and they took his children. He could hear their cries as Devon slaughtered them. Tyson cried out…

End of vision

Tyson bolted upright; sweat dripped from his brow. He placed an arm over his raised stomach. He got off the bed and walked towards the window. He climbed out and ran into the woods. He continued to run till he came to a clearing. He sighed and sat against a tree. He sat there for some time before he fell asleep.

Kai paced. He could feel Tyson's anguish that raged inside, he could feel everything that Tyson was feeling and he wanted to be there for him.

//Go to him. He's in the clearing\\ Dranzer told him. Kai nodded a thanks and transformed into a wolf before running off into the night. Kai slowed when he reached the clearing and spotted Tyson straight away. He trotted towards him and licked his face. Tyson moaned softly and opened his eyes. When his eyes had adjusted he flung his arms round Kai's neck. Kai transformed from his wolf form and wrapped his arms around his mate. Kai knew that Tyson was crying.

"Its okay love I'm here, tell me what's wrong." Kai spoke softly trying to comfort him.

"It…was…awful. We…were…banded….together….and….everyone…was…happy… and…then…they….came. There…was…so…much…blood….and…I…couldn't…save...them…I…tried…but…I…couldn't. I'm…so…sorry" Tyson said in between sobs.

"It's alright it was only a dream nothing more." Kai told him.

"But what if its not. I couldn't save our children. I'm a terrible mother." Tyson said still crying.

"Come here. Listen your going to be a great mother; it was just a dream, a nightmare. We'll work everything out together." Tyson nodded and Kai pulled him back in his arms.

"I'll look after you I promise, you and our child" Kai promised. Once Tyson had calmed down, they fell asleep in each others arms.

Kasumi wandered into the clearing and watched as her son and his mate slept.

//Dragoon thanks for watching over him\\ Kasumi said to the dragon guardian. Dragoon bowed.

//It was an honour my lady\\ answered Dragoon.

//My lady he seems to have inherited your ability to have visions\\ Dragoon said. Kasumi nodded.

//Yes. He's always had them but he was too young to remember them\\ Kasumi explained. Just then Kai stirred and looked up. Suddenly he was on his feet, his sword pointing at the cloaked figure. He heard Dragoon growl.

""I'm not your enemy young one, but a friend." Kai lowered his sword slightly and the cloaked figure turned to face him. He watched as the figure lowered the hood of her cloak to reveal a much more feminine version of Tyson.

"Who are you?" He asked uncertain of who this woman was. The woman chuckled slightly.

"I would have thought that it was obvious but I guess it's not. Well them my name is Kasumi and I am Tyson's mother" Kasumi replied.

"His mother but you abandoned him and now you come back. How dare you" Kai shouted. Kasumi raised an eyebrow. She understood Kai's anger however his comment angered Dragoon and Dragoon growled.

//Don't speak to Kasumi like that. She had her reasons just like your mother had hers\\ Kai stared at Dragoon and then looked at Kasumi. Kasumi looked at Dragoon sternly and the dragon disappeared.

"Kai understand this, a mother never truly abandons her child and your mother and I had our reasons just like Dragoon said and I have something important to tell you so please listen" Kasumi told him. Kai hesitated but slowly nodded. Kasumi smiled warmly and sat down opposite Kai and began her tale.

"Ever since I can remember I've had visions. Most of the earlier ones are forgotten as I was very little at the time, however the others I can remember as though it were yesterday. Like you and Tyson I grew up in a war zone. My father was the clan's leader at the time and I was his only child. Everyone boy used to fight and race each other to see who would win my hand however it was Robert who won it and when my father died, Robert became the clan leader. However during my childhood I had always known that I was fated to mate with Robert. I became pregnant with Tyson and the visions became less frequent however they returned with vengeance shortly after his birth and from that moment I knew that I wouldn't have a lot of time with my son. Tyson has always been more like me than Robert and when he was a month old, he had his first vision. When Tyson turned three as you know, I left and met up with mother Maya and for the last 17 years we have been watching over you." Kasumi finished her tale.

"So are you back for good?" Kai asked. Kasumi shrugged.

Kai scowled and looked at Tyson's sleeping form. Kasumi seemed to have read his thoughts.

"He had a vision tonight" it was a statement rather than a question. Kai nodded.

"But you said they stop during pregnancy" he said still scowling.

"I said they stopped during my pregnancy. Tyson's visions are generally more frequent at times and some have been terrible experiences for him." Kasumi replied. Streaks of sunlight peeped through and Kai knew that it was time to go. He lowered his head and kissed Tyson.

"Don't worry I'll look after him" Kasumi said. Kai nodded and transformed before returning to his clan. Kasumi sighed and walked over to her sleeping son. She placed a gentle hand on his shoulder and gently shook to try and wake him.

"Tyson you need to wake up or you'll get into deeper trouble with your father which is not wise in your current state" Kasumi spoke softly and she watched her son wake up for the first time in 17 years.

Tyson opened his eyes to see someone that had left him all those years ago. She hadn't changed a bit and even though he felt angry that she had disserted him there was a part of him that wanted to be with her for she was his mother whom he had missed. Tyson looked at her as though remembering before her flung himself into her awaiting arms. Mother and son sat there embracing each other. After a while, Tyson spoke.

"I've missed you so much" he said as small droplets of tears ran down his cheeks.

"As have I. I'm so proud of you my son and I'm going to help you" Kasumi told her son.

"Come on they can't find you here" Kasumi added pulling her son to his feet. With that, they walked out of the woods and walked to wards Kale's where they were greeted warmly. Tyson watched as the two friends hugged each other warmly, having not seen each other for 17 years. It was a lovely reunion. Kali then made an entrance and Kale introduced her friend to her young daughter. Soon they were chatting about old times and Tyson smiled watching his mother as she smiled and it was as though she had never left. He wrapped his arms around his raising stomach and at that moment he couldn't wait to be a mother; to hold his child in his arms, to play and to put his child to bed.

Kai sat in his room, deep in thought. He was still worried at Tyson. When he had seen Tyson; still wild from the vision. Kai had never seen him in such a state and he never wanted to see him in that state again. However, he would be there to support and comfort him and he would be there to protect him and their child. Unlike their mothers, he would never abandon his mate and child.

"There's not such thing as never" Kai looked up to see a cloaked figure sitting there on his bed. She took the hood off to reveal Lady Maya of the vampires and his mother.

"What no hug, but then again I'm not surprised. You never were one for hugs well not from me or your father anyway, but I've seen you and your mate hug each other plenty of times but then again he can be over emotional at times" Maya said. Kai growled and glared at his mother. Maya shook her head.

"I didn't mean to offend you, but it is a fact but then again those visions of his are bad so I don't really blame him" Maya added.

"How did you know about his visions?" Kai asked.

"Finally he speaks. Well I've spent the last 17 years with Kasumi, your mates mother who as I'm sure has told you has visions herself" Maya replied. Kai nodded.

"You've caused a lot of trouble within your own clan and his but then I guess you don't care about that do you?" she asked. This angered Kai.

"Of course I care; it's because of the clans that we did this. Our mating is supposed to unite the clans so then we can finally have peace" Kai shouted and Maya clapped her hands and smiled. She rose and hugged her son warmly.

"I'm so proud of you. Kasumi was right as usual. She foresaw a lot of things and from what you and your mate have done you have chosen the path that will change our history for the greater good" Maya said still smiling. Kai watched as she placed the hood over her head and then she disappeared. Kai smirked and stared out of the window with his mind focused on one thing; his mate and their unborn child.
