BLOODWIND: A SOUL'S WORTH
CHAPTER TEN
"You kidding me tell me that I'm hallucinating please someone anyone" Emma's voiced was higher than her normal, emotionless prim and proper kind. They were watching the news they normally don't. Yet they received a phone call from Charlie asking us where we been the previous afternoon and did we have witnesses guess the Cullen's coming here was a blessing in disguise. We had a solid alibi not that Charlie was worrieod it's just we would be the first to be blamed even though several more crimes were reported with same M.O. in other areas but hey let's just blame the mafia kids.
Fortunately, we were not mentioned. Giving it some thought being the top Mafia family took a lot out of us. Yes, we are immortal and knowing things before hand was a huge help.
It was tiring building this Empire took a lot of blood and tears. Especially for the girls besides Elly who if you truly knew her was as emotionally as a brick wall, it takes a lot out of us. Humans were a lot of empires down fall El suggested we use summons. Demons that want to walk the earth and create havoc but still loyal to us. I worked if one of our demons got captured (due to a human mistake mind you) he would immediately vacate the human vessel well actually it was a golem. You know human shell made of clay pretty much brain dead just needs a soul you know. Anyway, once the vacated the golem it would be in a human vegetable state.
They would get nothing from it. We only used humans for cleaning even then we never ever brought business home we used the Aether realm multiple universes came in handy when you importing exporting or making drugs virtually untraceable to man. We lasted 2000 years before the humans realised we were major players, hey you might not get caught but you might get noticed eventually. Gold Diamonds oil you name it we had it eventually we had to step out we knew eventually our names would carry heavy weight in the world and needed to exercise the correct battle plan to in a way rule the world. As the world evolved we kept up and made our presence known. Fear was often associated with our name. People knew us whispered they wondered how we kept having children how come our empire has fallen.
Recently they figured out we were nearly 1000 years old well empire wise. This was the first time they have seen us. It's the first time we were in a sense in public view. You can thank twilight for that. Not that we had much of choice. When Charlie cried in outrage of a daughter he never knew and it was put on live T.V we stepped out into the world. Now everyone knew us and it seemed to have had interesting consequences. On the news, a reporter sneaked past the police to catch a glimpse of the bodies. Skinned skulls and spines missing a bloodbath and in the background, you could make out our estate at the bottom.
No, it did not look good. Whoever they were. They were spying on us (pfft like we already didn't know) no the problem is we know what did this and well I didn't see this coming I mean I was expecting maybe few sea monster's soul reapers even a rouge spirit here and there but I gotta hand it to Luke. His got one heck of an imagination. "We need to go after them their drawing to much attention her!" Emma paced as she spoke. Kess was nodding her head in agreement "I mean maximum it's about two of them right they not pack hunters". Chanz was messaging her temples and irritated scowl marring her classical features.
"We can't" El was composed she stood straight commanding us to listen, standing just behind Lee who sat on a huge blood red one seater. Chanz head snapped up "Why not this is calling attention to us" she bellowed her face turning her signature red. I thought about why El said know and quickly caught on "Because its already calling attention to us, now everyone will be watching the town Charlie the wolves' vampires it doesn't matter that we are lucky enough to have an iron clad alibi with cameras proving our innocence the town will still hang us out to burn blaming us because it was so close hell the hill was looking down at our estate…" I couldn't help but give a short hysteric laugh "We will be under a microscope and god knows how long they will be here but it will be to long" by now everyone besides our two alphas had deflated. Then Kess perked up a smirk we all learned to fear graced her features "Who says we have to get rid of them? We can find others with a supernatural advantage to do it for us". Huh? What ooooh… El let out a tinkling laugh "Twilight vs Predators who would have thought". It all clicked into place after that and if I'm right about their line of thinking we were going to need a few shadow clones and a distraction. I push myself off the wall I was leaning on and let out a dramatic sigh "Well I have a feeling both of them will be on their way here, we should start our planning.".We all had a place in our pack each taking on a role we never knew we had. El and Lee were not leaders in their human lives but they were loyal and trustworthy to a fault they disliked betrayal and took it as deep as a knife wound.
They held us together one the sun through our darkness the other the voice of reason. When El and I first met, she pulled no punches despite liking my Small Ville series she treated me with respect and indifference. She followed me for 500 years keeping me out of trouble watching my back despite what I did to her. She said she loved me well that she loved all of us she never had that in her human life and wouldn't let go not matter what. She finally found something to die for and she wasn't going to let me throw it away. Ironically, she was lying in a pool of her own blood a sword inches from her heart acting like a painful tourniquet. I cried so much that day and I prayed so hard rocking on heels holding her refusing to leave. Lee and the others came. She lived everyone was pissed but couldn't blame me immortality sucked without each other.
And at some point, we drifted and she put us back together. She had more scars than all of us to prove it and we appreciated it and in return promised each other and her the same loyalty and protectiveness. I wouldn't trade this family. You never know what you got till it's gone. I like being all powerful I try not to let it go to my head we all did but sometimes it creeps through the expensive cars estates latest tech. Fortunately our bjuu and dragons keep us in check not afraid to beat us down to size also remind us empires fall. We came up with a rule the empires fall due to corruption so we do our best to give back as much as we take trying to balance out our bad with good. I heard tyres grounding out gravel.
Damn they don't waste time do they. I pulled the curtain aside and was surprised to see both the Cullen's and Quileute's making their way over. I laughed "Looks like we going to have an interesting day. El was beside me also looking and groaned out loud "Dammit". I looked towards her smirking I just had that weird mother hen vamp to worry about she had a pixie war veteran and a possessive wolf to deal with well her and a few others who also happens to have two imprints hahahah. "So, what's the plan?" El bit her lip it would be the only tell that her brain was working on over drive the others scattered around probably hiding I snorted "Cowards" then El lit up at me a childish glint in her eye I groaned I probably would enjoy this at the same time could end in a childish squabble. "YOUR IT" she squealed while grabbing lee arm toward the back side of the house "HIDE AND SEEK". Huh should be fun. DING. That sneaky little tramp now I have answer the damn door!
