Chapter 14: Another Day Or NOT!
(3rd Person Pov – Bar Of The Dal – The Next Day)
Bo and Lauren had just headed into the back with Kenzi as Tamsin entered in the front of the Dal. Dyson, Hale, Zombie, Macy and Lucia were sitting down while Trick was behind the bar getting things together that they might need. Tamsin froze as soon as she entered the bar because of the fact that everyone stopped talking and turned to face her. Everyone could tell that Tamsin wasn't looking good because of the fact of the dark rings under her eyes.
"Is there a reason you left?" Hale asked her as he stood. Dyson and Zombie were right behind him. "What would have happened if another wave of vampires or wolves showed?" His eyes flashed a blueish green.
"I had to find out something." Tamsin said as she took a seat at the bar.
"What was that?" Dyson snarled as his eyes flashed golden. "Tellin' the wolves or vampires where to find Kenzi?"
Tamsin spun around in her seat. "I was speaking with Gabe." She hissed her hands clenched to her side. "I wanted to find out why he was helping Kenzi. The only thing I know is that he was interested in the babies. They are more powerful then any others." She sagged in her seat. "I don't know what is going to happen."
"So he wants to keep Kenzi safe until she gives birth." Trick popped up with a frown on his face. "I knew that he wished for Bo to be at his side but if he was able to take Kenzi's children." He shook his head trying not to think of it.
"Neither Drake or Gabe will touch my pups." Dyson snarled his eyes flashing. "Kenzi will have someone with her at all times. I don't want her alone at all."
"I can take care of myself Dyson." Kenzi said as she walked back into the front of the Dal. Bo and Lauren were right behind her. "If Bo's father is helping me and keeping me safe, he might just want to be apart of Bo's life." She shrugged as she took a seat next to her mate.
"I'm with Kenzi." Bo said as she sat down and pulled Lauren in her lap. "If my father is coming around, the only reason I can think of is that he wants to get to know me. I've claimed Kenzi as my sister so maybe he is taking that into consideration." Bo looked at Trick then to the others.
Trick frowned as he shook his head. "I still wouldn't trust him, Bo." He looked straight at her. "Gabe is so much more then you can even imagine. He was the one that started the Dark Ages. With him around he was able to almost completely destroy the human world. That is why he was banished far away."
"My father was there when it happened." Hale spoke up with his arms crossed as he stood next to Macy and Lucia. "He said that Gabriel wanted to take over the human world. He believed that we, the Fae, were the true rulers of the Earth and he believed that the humans of the world were merely insects that needed to be exterminated."
Zombie nodded from his position by one of the front windows. "Drake was also there." His eyes flashed red for a moment. "He sided with Gabriel because he also believed that the vampires and Fae should show themselves."
"We live in secret for a reason." Lauren popped up. "If the humans knew about the Fae, or vampires and werewolves. Then they would only turn on one another and end up killing themselves. I've seen the humans that learned about Fae. They all believed that they were evil creatures that needed to be killed."
"So we keep the secret. Its not that hard to do." Kenzi shrugged as she turned to Hale. "Do you know where my father is?"
Hale cut his eyes to Dyson, who nodded. "Yeah, he's not that far from the Light Ashes compound." He looked over at Trick. "I have a few spies keeping tabs on him." He smirked as he tilted his head to the side.
Dyson kept his ears open as he listened but he could tell that Kenzi was getting tired. "Why don't we finish this later?" He cut his eyes to Kenzi who was almost asleep. "I need to get Kenzi to bed."
"I ain't tired D-man." Kenzi then yawned as she covered it with her hand. "I think it's these kids." She shook her head. "I also need to feed before I head to bed. Trick do ya think you can pour me some?" She batted her eyes, pouting.
Trick smiled and nodded as he headed around behind the bar. "Not a problem." He pulled out a bottle and poured a tall glass. "I know you're feeding three. You and your two lil' ones." He then walked back around and handed Kenzi the glass.
"I can't wait to spoil them!" Macy squealed as she bounced in her chair. "I bet they look just like you Kenzi."
Kenzi groaned as she sipped her blood. "Don't curse them just yet."
(3rd Person Pov – Same Time – Outside The Dal)
Lilith and Drake stood outside in the shadows watching the people inside the Dal. Drake had his hands clenched at his side as he kept his eyes on his daughter and the wolf she mated. Lilith was just as pissed as her brother because of the fact they had started the war and no one was going to stop it.
"It seems that Gabe will be a problem." Drake hissed his eyes locked on Kenzi and the abominations in her stomach. "What shall we do dear sister?" he turned to look at Lilith while he pulled her to his side.
"Kill de shadow, den kill de girl." Lilith whispered as she glanced around the room. "Dey 'ave a Valkyrie with dem. It vill be hard because of 'er." She looked at Tamsin who was sitting at the bar while the others side at the tables.
"It means nothing." Drake told her turning around and walking away. "Soon MacKenzi and her mate will be dead and there is nothing they can do. Go gather the last of the army. We will attack as soon as the sun goes completely down."
Drake walked away from Lilith as he disappeared into the shadows. Lilith stood there a few more moments before she headed in a different direction. They both needed to feed before the last wave of the vampires and wolves attacked the Dal. Drake and Lilith would be there even though it would be in the background. Drake would not let anything mess it up. He would kill the abominations then he would kill his daughter. He knew that if she did this once she would most likely do so again. No matter what he said he knew that MacKenzi was as good as dead.
(Dyson's Pov – Back Inside The Dal)
I sat in the front of the Dal waiting for the next strike. I knew it was going to be soon because if Bo's father is involved in anyway then the shit will most likely hit the fan. Sighing, I smelled Tamsin sit down before I saw her.
"You still haven't given her the bracelet." Her eyes were boring into mine. "You need to give it to her soon. I have a bad feeling that something is coming and it wont be pleasant." She turned, getting off the stool as Kenzi came out of the back room.
She smelled clean but I could still smell the hint of my scent, marking her as mind. Zombie wrinkled his nose as she passed but had a smile on his face. Kenzi immediately came up to me and wrapped her arms around me as much as she could since her stomach has grown in such a short time. I bent and buried my nose in her hair, breathing deeply. A sigh escaped her lips as she kissed my neck. I shivered as I heard someone clearing their throat. I raised my eyes to see that Hale and Zombie were looking at me with a smirk on their lips.
"Come on." I whispered sensing that Kenzi needed to rest after along day. "You need to rest and so do I."
"We'll keep a watch out." Hale called as I scooped up Kenzi and headed into the back room.
I could feel Tamsin's eyes on the back of my head and I sent her a slight nod without even turning. I would give Kenzi the bracelet as soon as we were in the Safe Room. Not that I didn't trust anyone, I needed to know my mate and pups were safe. My wolf had been rather quiet because he was still processing that he would be a father. His chest puffed out with pride and I internally chuckled. Kenzi had her arms wrapped around my neck as her stomach pressed into my chest. I could feel a kick once in a while which made my chest swell with pride. The door was open to the safe room, letting me walk right in and set Kenzi down on the bed. I knelt down in front of her and took her hands into mine. The safe room's door automaticly closed as soon as we were both inside.
"Tamsin asked me to give you something." I told her taking the hair braided bracelet out of my back pocket. "Tamsin, as you may have noticed, is close to the end of her life cycle. Valkyrie's hair is considered the strongest anti magic there is because of their manipulation abilities. She gave this to me to give to you. Tamsin wanted to know that you were protected even if I wasn't around." I slide it over her wrist and as soon as it was around Kenzi's wrist it tightened that way it would fall off. "You now have the protection of the Valkyries." I looked up and saw that Kenzi was just staring at the bracelet.
"I would've said that it was kinda creepy but with everything that has happened..." She trailed off looking up smiling. "I'll take all the protection I can get at this time." She yawned widely letting me know she was tired.
"Let's go, angel." I whispered standing and helping her scoot back on the bed, pulling the covers down as I did so. "Let's get some shut eye for a little while. The others will let us know if there is a problem."
I looked down and saw that Kenzi was already asleep. Chuckling, I pulled my shirt off and shucked my pants off. Climbing into the bed with Kenzi, was like coming home. I curled up around her belly and layed a hand on top. I felt twin kicks against my hand then almost like one of them was trying to nuzzle me. I smirked, leaning down kissing her stomach before I pulled her to me, letting her scent wash over me. I knew that the others would keep us safe for the time being. Just as I was about to closed my eyes, I jerked up and flashed my eyes to the corner of the room. There was a dark shadow in the corner with glowing red eyes. I had not seen it before because of the fact my attention was on Kenzi.
"Who are you?" I hissed sitting up even more getting ready to crouch over Kenzi's sleeping body. "How did you get in?" I sniffed the air but found nothing out of place. Shadow. I thought to myself.
"It's good to see you, Dyson." Bo's father, Gabe, stepped out of the shadows. "Taking good care of my girls?" He tilted his head to the side as he gazed down at Kenzi. "Did you know that her father came to me for help in destroying the young one? I told him no, of course."
I didn't like the way he looked at Kenzi, snarling, I narrowed my eyes at him. "Why protect her?" I questioned him. "Why protect Kenzi and Bo? What's in it for you!?"
Gabe smiled rather evilly. "To see the next rulers of the Fae world be born." He gazed at Kenzi's swollen stomach before he disappeared back into the shadows.
I knew right then that Gabe was doing this that way Drake would be out of the way. He wanted Kenzi's babies just as he did Bo. To rule the Fae world once and for all. I needed to warn Hale and tell Trick to call the Morrigan. Gabe would most likely take out the head of the light and dark first. I eased myself out of the bed and walked over to the intercom. Gabe would most likely head for the Morrigan first since Hale is right here with us. I just hoped no one would be killed. Even though I didn't like the Morrigan, I didn't wish her harm. We all had our places, the light and the dark.
Pressing the button I held it til the com beeped. "Trick, we have a problem." I waited a few minutes. "Gabe was here."
It didn't take long before he got back to me. 'What did he want? Is Kenzi alright? Do you need one of us in there with you?' I could hear he was rather worried.
"No old friend." I assured him. "Everything's fine but I found out what Gabe wants." I frowned remembering the look he gave Kenzi. I involuntarily growled trying to keep my temper in check. "He wants to wait for the twins birth." I got out between my clenched teeth. I turned to check on Kenzi, finding she was looking for me, even though she was fast asleep.
'Is there anything else?' I then remembered the Morrigan and Hale.
"Keep Hale here." I ordered him. "From what I can figure is that Gabe wants the twins and Bo to rule the world, both human and Fae. To do that though, he needs to kill the light and dark Ashes."
'That wont be a problem.' Trick promised. 'Should I call the Morrigan? Or let her figure it out for herself?' I heard the chuckle on the other end.
"Tell 'er." I said as I turned back to Kenzi, my eyes growing heavy. "Now I'm heading back ta bed."
I clicked off the intercom before walking back over and crawling under the covers with my mate. As soon as I was close enough for Kenzi's opinion, she let out a content sigh as she snuggled into my side. I just smiled as I looked around the room once more then closed my eyes and tried to get some shut eye. I had a feeling that tomorrow would be one hell of a day.
(~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~)
Author Note – Dun dun dunnnnn, so what do ya think? Will Gabe be able to get the twins? Of course their not even here yet. What do you think of the little protection bracelet from Tamsin? I thought it would be cool if she was a little softer, but not much. Tell me what ya think and until the next chapter, keep reading and reviewing...
