BLOODWIND: A SOUL'S WORTH
CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE
PAUL POV
ONCE AGAIN IM SUPER SORRY ABOUT NOT LABELING THE CHAPTER CORRECTLY SORRY PEOPLE.
The sun was coming up giving golden light to the room we were in. The weird little things that had greeted us earlier must have opened the windows. El was looking outside along with Kess smiling at the sunset. Their story took the whole night. My mind was reeling, I couldn't believe what they told me and they said it wasn't even the half of it but it was what we needed to explain the events of last night. They were human. They had their own lives children husbands and grand slamming careers. Their human ages ranged from 25 upwards.
Lee Colby Jon and Fergal were professional wrestlers. Kess Emma Matt and Tom were actors and actresses from either movies or series. Chanz and El were aspiring primary school teachers. An awkward bunch just thrown together by fate or dumb luck they didn't even know. Lee Chanz Matt and El had kids from wherever they came from. They have eventually given up on ever seeing them again in this life. Children. I couldn't help but wince. They had all watched their children die whether from old age human disease or I look at El. The nightmares were real and I couldn't really blame her. The killed her son. She had always wanted a boy (her first child was a girl) and was heartbroken when they had killed him. She didn't know herself that well or what she really was and her husband. EX-HUSBAND had taken advantage of that and twisted her into his own private play thing then again, he was Satan. I understood them better now.
Their actions back in the woods. They knew these creatures and when they had shown mercy it only brought them scars and heart ache. We were all silent. They had spoken the whole night telling us their story mainly about how they got here most of their powers, encounters with supernatural beings and the wars they had been in. They even had dragons I mean real live dragons. When Seth heard that part they had promised to show us some other time. Sam had decided to go out on a short patrol though the pixie assured him there were no vampires. After all they would come to them first seeing as they are the resident vampires in the area and their scent was in this town. He still insisted that someone should patrol.
I think he was in shock and wanted to clear his head. Or go to Emily and hug her as if the world was going to end. Which apparently, it was. Not ours but theirs. There were some things that they weren't telling us but like they said they gave us enough to answer our questions and explain what they were well sort of. Apparently, they wouldn't be staying long they would be leaving. When Seth had asked when and why, the only answer we got was shoulder shrugs. Luke (Lucifer) did whatever he pleased, apparently, he was testing them out before the final battle. It was the battle. My head was still trying to process the information it was way too much.
"You guys are lucky its Friday you get to sleep in" Emma spoke now the sun shining against her hair making it look like a bonfire in the sun. she was looking at each of us. We must have looked tired I couldn't stop looking at El. She was curled up against one of her brothers speaking low to them. While telling her story, I felt everything, love, anger, hurt and the numbness. She was emotionless in a sense. She stopped feeling anything towards anyone outside her family. She had shut herself off. I really couldn't blame her. Al I could think of is if it had been my kid.
I couldn't blame her for her actions. None of us could. A Mothers love was something to embrace and fear. The doctor's wife had understanding in her. She had lost her own son in her human life. They had cut the threads off once the stories were over. I was so use to them it felt odd once we were disconnected. She got up from her spot and went outside quicker than I could blink. I stood up quickly. Lee was in front of me hand on my shoulder. "She needs to be alone. Trust me." I wanted to say something, but he knew her better than I did so I nodded my head but I couldn't stop the longing look I gave the outside. "I think we all need air" Kess now stood up and stretched. They all nodded in agreement. "Your rooms have been prepped if you want another bath or shower don't hesitate there are clothes for you ready when you're done" with that they left some went outside some deeper into the castle. I didn't know what to do with myself so I just sat and stared into an empty space... my mind reeling with information.
