Will had sensed something too and was the door of the guesthouse in an instant.
"Come in," Henry said before he could even knock. Henry and Vicki were sitting in the living area across from the little person, who was just staring at the both of them.
"Sense anything in him," Vicki asked Henry never taking her eyes off the little man.
Henry nodded his head no, never taking his eyes off of him either. Will entered and froze, looking at the strange little man. Vicki filled him in while Bes rolled his eyes at all of them.
He hopped off the couch and immediately regretted it-both vampires let out low growls, their eyes blackening at the same time.
He backed up putting his hands up in defense, "Nice vampires, I'm telling you the truth. Really!!" he said sitting back down.
"Okay, let's say you are, what about all of the stories of Egyptain gods and things, we," Vicki made a circling motion in the room, "don't believe in all of those gods."
"And well you shouldn't" he replied matter-of-factly. The three looked at one another.
"What the hell does that mean?" Vicki saying each word very enunciating.
"What it means is that all of those things are myths, we are not gods, we are not demons, we have one God too, we are his, " he seemed to be searching for a word, "well, not angels, although we work with them, we are like, what you would call "employees".
"Bull.." Henry stopped her..He was trying to clean her language up, a little anyway..
"Bull CRAP," Vicki looked at Henry as if to say "better" he smiled at her, "That makes no sense."
"It doesn't have to. All you have to do is trust me. Amun is no god, but he was once banished to another plane because he tried to become one, much like Lucifer, Satan, you do know him I take it?" pointing to her marks, Vicki quickly embarrassed by them tried to hide them.
"Yes, we know who Satan is, now how do we banish this Amun? I will not let him into this world now or in the future. And why does he want Maggie's son?" Vicki asked. Ah, the P.I. emerges.
"Because," he sighed, " Maggie's baby is half-vampire, half-human, a little magic swirled in and all male, just what he needs, power."
"Hm, makes sense," said Will at this point. "But, I will not let that happen either. Tell us what we must do."
Bes laughed, 'Well, that's the interesting part, I'm here to make sure he doesn't draw the child's soul out at birth but my hope is, he won't be here that long. Although her time short. You do have someone powerful coming tomorrow right?" he asked looking at Will.
Will nodded. Maggie's mother, Samantha, was coming for a visit. She was very, very powerful. She had always embraced her powers, learned to use them well and passed that knowledge onto Maggie. Had Maggie's father stayed, she could have helped him learn to use his as well...
"Yes, she'll be here in the morning." Bes nodded, "Good good, we will need all three to perform the ritual."
"Whoa, wait, what ritual, and I assume you are referring to Vicki, Maggie and Samantha. No, Maggie due anytime, Vicki is, well, too new and a I just don't like that idea." Henry was standing now his eyes beginning to fade to black again.
Vicki stood as well, "Excuse me but I think I can speak for myself. I'm pregnant, not sick, well not right now anyway. And, I'm still capable of making my own decisions thank you. I have to help Maggie..."
Henry turned to face her, "What about the baby, what about you Vicki?" he was angry, more scared really it was just coming out as anger.
Vicki was angry too. NO one, no man, woman or beast on this planet had ever told her what to do and it wouldn't start now.
Vicki turned her attention to the little man who was very amused by this scene right now, "Bes, can you protect my child and Maggie's if we perform this ritual to banish Amun?" her eyes were on fire now.
"Sure, no problem, just one thing."
"What?" Vicki asked almost spitting the word at him.
"You'll need to take a little more blood from Henry right before the ritual." he said.
"Why, what's the difference." Vicki asked, putting her hands on he hips.
"Because, YOU my dear, need extra protection, your babies will need more protective blood from their father.." he shook his head at all of them.
Vicki and Henry looked at each other "BABIES? Did he say babieS as in more than one...?''
