Also it will be from First person POV and 3rd Pov. Just to let ya know...

Chapter 7: Hope Is Here

(3rd Person Pov – At The Dal)

Trick slammed the phone down after he tried to call back the number. However all he got was a dial tone. Cussing under his breathe, he shot a look at Hale. He had stopped with the Ash business for the moment. Tamsin was no where to be found. Hale had just came back from the Ashes personal library to see if he could find anything out. He had just arrived back when Trick had received the second call from Kenzi.

"That was Kenzi, again." Trick said as he hung the phone up again the dialed Dyson's number. "She's says she's in pain."

Hale's eyes grew wide. He had come across some old text that was about wolves and vampires. They were not like the Fae Vampires because they had pale skin that looked almost transparent. There eyes when hungry would turn pure black. They either had red or gold eyes. Depending on their food source. Gold for animal while Red was for human. They most came out at night to feed because the sun did hurt their eyes at first thus the reasons for all the fairy tails. Hale also found a tready from the old times that said if a wolf and vampire ever breed and succeeded then the feud between the two would have to be put to a stop.

"Do you know where she is?" Hale asked, his fear rising for the lil' human they all came to love.

Trick shook his head glumly. "No, the phone went dead." His eyes looked towards the door as Tamsin came into the bar. "Where did you go?" Trick was waiting for Dyson to pick up, his eyes on Tamsin.

Tamsin shrugged as she leaned against the bar. "Some one had to go to work." She smirked looking at Hale, smiling.

Trick rolled his eyes as he waited for Dyson to pick up the phone. He didn't have to wait long before Dyson picked up.

"Hello?" Dyson's rather upset voice came over the phone. "Trick, did you hear from Kenzi?"

Trick closed his eyes for a moment. "Yes but she isn't doing good." He looked at Hale then Tamsin. "She told me she was in pain then the line went dead. I don't know other than that." Trick could hear yelling on the other side.

"Did you even think to ask?" Dyson snarled into the phone. Trick shivered.

Tamsin decided to finally butt in as she snapped her fingers in front of Trick's face. "I know where the human is." She smiled as she produced a small beeping device. "When I ran into her the morning after the big party, I slipped a tracking chip into her jacket pocket. I had to head back to the station to activate it." She handed the tracker over to Trick, who had a shocked expression. Hale was even looking at her like she had a second head.

"What did she say?" Dyson questioned in a strained voice. "Was that Tamsin?"

Trick nodded his thanks to Tamsin. "Yes old friend it was her." He looked down at the radar. "Tamsin placed a tracker on Kenzi and had to run back to the police station to activate it. She just came in and handed me the radar. Kenzi's about in the center of the next town." Trick frowned at Hale. "Becket?"

"She's in Becket?" Dyson said to someone on the other side. "We'll keep in touch Trick." Then the line went dead.

Trick looked at Tamsin then to Hale. "What did you find?" He looked at the new Ash for answers. "I know that you looked into some of the archives."

"I found that if Kenzi does have a kid with Dyson then it will stop the..."

"Vampire Werewolf feud." Tamsin butted in again. Both Trick and Hale looked at her with a surprised look. "What? I am very informed." She turned her back to them and started to look at her nails.

Hale just shook his head. "That's right." He looked at Trick. "If a vampire and a wolf, of any kind, can put their difference aside and create new life then its written that so much their counter parts. Yet, both sides are not looking forward to this. I don't know how but word has spread that a vampire/human shifter is pregnant with a wolf shifters pup."

"And I have a feeling that Drake wants Kenzi to keep her from doing just that." Trick said as he picked up the phone again. He needed to get hold of Dyson before anything happened to Kenzi. If their feud would stop two races both Fae, werewolves and vampires, then both sides would be out for Kenzi.

(Dyson's Pov – After Third Call – 20 Mins From Becket)

I knew that Kenzi was in trouble because of the fact that my chest was killing me. I had decided to let Zombie drive. Bo, Lauren and the other two were in the back seat quiet as they looked out the windows. I could tell that they were all worried about Kenzi but the one I was mostly concerned about was Bo. Her eyes had flashed a couple of times today, since we found that Kenzi was in trouble. I was also shocked that Tamsin did something about Kenzi being missing before anyone needed to. I knew I would have to thank her when I saw her next.

"How much longer?" Bo asked her teeth clenched together in anger. I knew she was worried.

"Not much longer." I told them as I pushed the pedal to the medal. Just then I saw Zombie stiffen and look out at the passing scenery. "What is it?" I asked him cutting my eyes back to the road.

"Someone is close to her." He whispered locking eyes with me. "Hurry." He ordered as I slammed on the breaks and jumped out of the car.

I could hear someone getting into the drivers seat but I had other things I needed to do. If someone was close to Kenzi then I would make sure that who ever it was, was dead before the hour passed. No one hurt my mate and get away with it. I knew about the feud but I hadn't heard anything. He knew that he would have heard something about the vampires moving against the wolves but since he hadn't heard anything he didn't mention it to anyone. Now he was wishing he had.

You need to hurry! My beast yelled. If you don't then she will lose the pup!

I am! I yelled back knowing that he was just as worried as I.

I sniffed the air and snarled loudly as I caught the scent close to Kenzi's but this one was Male. I heard my car coming up behind me as I jumped over fences and dodged through parked cars. I was glad that most of the people were either at work or home. It wasn't that late but it was still light out. I could see better because I felt my wolf give me use of his abilities. I could also feel myself half way shift. I didn't care because I smelled that Kenzi was close but that wasn't what worried me. The feeling I was getting was not letting up. I needed her in my arms for her to get better.

There! My wolf moved our head to the right.

I spotted a figure in the shadows watching a door of a motel room. I could feel Kenzi on the other side of the door. I snarled as I barreled over to the creature and slammed him against the wall behind him. I didn't waste any time speaking to the vampire as I ripped him apart and then rushed over to the door of the room and kicked it open. Kenzi was curled up in a little ball in the center of a large bed. I didn't say anything as I ran over to her, slamming the door behind me, and scooped her up in my arms. I could feel the pain in my chest leave as I held her in my arms and I prayed that she would wake up soon.

The others have arrived. My wolf told me as a purr came from our chest, relaxing Kenzi.

Bo was through the door first with Lauren on her tail. "Is she ok?" She asked stopping a few feet from me.

"She's settling down." I said looking at Lauren. She had a syringe in her hand.

Lauren noticed that I was watching her. "It will help with the pain." She took a few more steps. I just nodded as I watched her stick the needle into Kenzi's arm. I looked around not seeing Zombie, Macy or Lucia.

"They are taking care of the vampire." Bo said as her eyes were trained on Kenzi. "Why don't we head back to the Dal?"

I nodded as I stood then pulled Kenzi into my arms. My wolf had settled but he was still worried. I could smell that our pup was fine. Bo headed to the office to sign Kenzi out while I got into the passenger seat with Kenzi on my lap. I didn't know how we were all going to be riding back in my car but I didn't want Kenzi to far away. I noticed that Zombie was heading over to where I was with Lauren in the back seat. Lucia and Macy were not in my line of sight.

"How is she?" Zombie asked kneeling by the open passenger car door.

"She's fine but I want Lauren to check her out." I told him. "Why don't you and the girls come along?"

Zombie smirked. "Oh, we'll be there." His eyes went to the alley that I noticed the vampire. "Me and the girls will need to run back since we have the thing." He hissed, his eyes going black. I knew he was angry.

I nodded. "You know the Dal is?" I asked him looking back down at Kenzi who moaned and tightened her grip on my shirt.

"Sure do." He looked me in the eyes. "You know that not just the vamps will be coming for her." He nodded to Kenzi. "But some wolves too."

"I know but they wont touch her." I snarled tightening my grip on her. "They will have to get through me."

Zombie smirked as he stood and clapped me on the shoulder. "Good." His eyes went to Kenzi once again. "She's had a hard life but I think you will be good for her. See ya at the Dal." He took off back over to the alley.

"Why don't you sit in back with Lauren?" Bo said as she slid into the drivers seat. "It will be easier if Lauren needs to check her."

I nodded as I got back out of the car and slid in the back seat. Lauren helped me buckle Kenzi up as I shut the front door. I slid in beside her and shut the door. Bo turned the key and we were soon on our way back to the Dal. Lauren had a small medical room set up in the back. Trick had done this because his place other than at the Ashes place would be safe for Kenzi. He even chanted the area where no one could touch her without her consent. I was the only one who wasn't involved in the spell because I was her mate. I hoped that things would be better. I was still worried about my mate and pup. Kenzi just held onto me as I took her back home.

"I love you Kenzi." I whispered kissing her hair. "Never forget that."

(3rd Person Pov – Miles Away)

A tall man with hip length black hair paced back and forth. His hands were crossed behind his back as his head down and his soulless black eyes were staring at nothing. A frown marred his forehead as he tried to think of a reason that his son, Blake, had yet to call him back with news of his rebellious daughter, MacKenzi. Looking at his watch, he decided that he would call a close friend that was near where Blake had called from the first time. Picking up his phone, Drake dialed his sister's number. He knew that Lilith would be more than happy to help because her husband was killed by a wolf shifter.

"Hollo?" Came a smooth silky voice from the other end. "Brother, is dat you?"

"Yes, it is I." He answered. "I have a request. I need you to go not far from the Becket motel and see if Drake is still there. He was keeping an eye on MacKenzi."

Lilith hissed on the other end. "So it tis' true? My niece tis' pregnant with child from da beast." Drake could tell that his sister was rather upset.

"I'm afraid so." His eyes went to the sky. "I knew that when MacKenzi ran she would be the one to disgrace our family name."

"Then we shall take care uf it." Lilith hissed through the phone. "I shall be dere shortly."

The line went dead and Drake knew that his sister would show up within a few hours. She would first stop and see if Blake was at his post then if not would come straight to him. Drake hoped that his son was fine. Blake was the next in line for the throne then it went to MacKenzi. Drake would rather kill her then let her take over if what he had heard was anything to go by. In fact his own brother, Zobura -aka- Zombie, was helping her. But then again he wondered if his brother would blow his own cover in trying to help the girl. Zobura was the only one standing in his way. Neither the light or dark ash could do a damn thing about it since it was werewolf and vampire business. Not even their Fae counter parts could get involved. Drake could only smile. Soon he would have the world eating out of his hands starting with the feud between vampire's and werewolves. Then he would take over the Fae world. He could taste the victory if only MacKenzi would loose the abomination in her womb.
