Chapter Five

Knock knock!

'Who could that be?' Sky looked at her watch; it was about 7:30 so it couldn't be Lori. She wiped her hands off then went to answer her door. Standing in her door way was Jasper, once again looking extremely sexy. Sky felt a sudden feeling of happiness wash over her. "Hi." He nodded "Ello," Sky felt her cheeks warming up again. 'Damn the romance gods for giving him that voice!' She screamed in her head, "Um…would you like to come in?"

Jasper shook his head, "Uh, no thank you. Actually I have a friend who wishes to meet you." Sky became curious, "Why?" Jasper gave a sigh "I think he has some information you would want to hear." Sky nodded "Okay." He held out his hand to her. She took his hand as she grabbed her favorite leather jacket from its place on the coat rack. Jasper led her to his Black Harley Davidson motorcycle. "I am so jealous."

Her comment made a smirk appear on Jasper's gorgeous face. He handed Sky a helmet before he got on. Once she was on, she placed the helmet on her head then slowly wrapped her arms around his waist. She blushed big time when she felt his hard muscles beneath his shirt. The engine roared to life before it went speeding down the street.

"How are you doing back there?"

At hearing his voice she jumped slightly, "You have microphones in your helmets." A deep chuckle rang in her ears causing yet another shiver down her spine. "A gift from my Mon Amie Talon," "What the heck is Mon Amie?" Once again Jasper laughed "It means friend Sky." "Oh." They go over a bump and Sky wrapped her arms tighter around him, causing him to chuckle "I'm so glad you find my predicament amusing Jasper."

They drive for a while before Jasper glanced in the small rearview mirror, 'Daimons!'He looked up, the light ahead was about to turn green. "Sky hold on tight!" She pulled her body even closer to his. Jasper sped off so fast she screamed slightly. "Are they following?"

She glanced back to see two motorcycles, the drives clad all in black. "Yes two of them," "Damn! They found out!" "Found what out?!"

"Just hand on! I'm going to try and loose them!"

She screamed again as Jasper took a sharp turn down an ally way. Jasper's bike hit a few bumps along the way before he screeched to a halt. "Damn it!" It was a dead end. Sky held onto jasper tightly as she heard the sound of the two motorcycles coming closer. "Jasper think of somewhere!"

"What?!"

"Think of somewhere!"

They motorcycles were getting closer. "THINK!" Jasper shut his eyes tight and pictured the front of Acheron's house. Sky shut her eyes and saw where Jasper was thinking of. Just as the motorcycles were about to get to them,

They disappeared.

The two Daimons screeched to a halting stop and almost crashed into the ally wall. "What the hell!" "Where did they go?!"

Jasper opened his eyes to see that he was now in front of Acheron's house, "How?" He felt Sky's head fall against his back, "Sky?" He removed his helmet and quickly got off the bike. Jasper got Sky's helmet off and turned her around to face him, "Sky?"

He gently cupped her face in his hands, her skin was so soft. Jasper felt his heart began to race; though he quickly concentrated back on Sky. "Sky?" he asked once more before she opened her eyes, both eyes were now the same beautiful sterling silver color. "It's been a while since I have done that." She said softly as her left eye change slowly back to emerald. Sky fell forward into Jasper's arms, 'God she smells so good.' Jasper shook his head, Sky had been weakened from the teleportation, he had to get her inside.

"Wrap your arms around my neck Sky."

She did and he gently lifted her into his arms. His strong arms cradled her weakened body as he walked into Ash's house. "Tory?" Tory looked up from her spot on the couch, she gasped. "Is she alright?" Tory asked, now very concerned. "She's just a bit dizzy." Jasper sat Sky down on the couch before he took a seat on the coffee table in front of her. Her head rested on his chest as he held her.

"Jazzy is that you?"

Jasper smiled as he heard the very cheerful voice of Simi as she walked into the living room. "Is she alright Jazzy?" Jasper gave Simi a reassuring smile, "Yes Simi, she is alright. Could you bring me a damp cloth please?" Simi nodded her head. "Yes the Simi shall get it!" Simi bounded off into the kitchen. "Stop the world I want to get off." Sky said, though her voice had been muffled by Jaspers chest. Jasper kissed the top of her head and began to whisper things into her ear, in French. "Jasper you do know I cannot understand French for shit right?" Jasper chuckled, "Then you best learn it." A groan was his only reply as another wave of nausea came over her.

"The Simi has it Jazzy." Simi ran back into the room and came to stop by Jasper; who carefully moved Sky's onyx black hair away from her neck. "Place the cloth on her neck Simi." She did and received a shiver from Sky as the cold cloth made contact with her skin. "I feel so sick." She said once again in a muffled voice. Jasper leaned down to her ear and once again began whispering things in French to her.

Simi watched as Jasper did this. Sky's breathing evened out and her arms wrapped around his waist. Her hands coming to rest on the small of his back, "Wow all that from whispering in her ear?" Simi sighed in a dreamy way, "Oh how I wish that I had someone to do that for me." She smiled "Maybe Akri can get sexy Travis Fimmel for me!"

'I like her,' Sky said in her head.

"Jasper?"

Jasper looked up to see Ash standing there, with a very concerned look on his face. "Is she alright?" He asked, Jasper could hear a slight panic in his voice. Jasper gave a nod, "She's just dizzy Ash. She teleported us here from an ally. Damned Daimons." Acheron walked over and knelt down beside Sky. He reached out and gently touched her back, but as soon as he did, images began flashing through his mind. Sky was also seeing things in her mind. Images of a man tall, with blond hair now black, he had silver eyes. His memories filled her mind, as hers did his.

Everything that Sky had lived he was seeing; and everything Ash had lived she was seeing. Sky slowly moved her head sideways to look at the man beside her. When she saw him her heart began rapidly beating in her chest. Black hair, tall, and silver eyes, it was him. Ash gulped slightly when he saw her left eye, the emerald green, and then the right, silver like his.

Jasper moved away, Sky looked at him as if to ask where he was going. "I'll leave you two alone." He said softly to her, and she nodded understanding. Ash took the spot where Jasper was sitting as he ushered Tory and Simi out of the room.

Sky stared at the man before her, studying him. His silver eyes stared into hers. They had just seen each other's memories, this man, he was the one Lori had prodicted would come. Her father, he was here before her. Ash could feel tears begin to form in his eyes, they threatened to fall, but he didn't care. He missed 26 years of his daughter's life. Baseball games, birthdays, christmases, graduations all of it! All of it was lost because of Artemis.

Ash reached out and tenderly touched her cheek, as if he was afraid she wasmerely an illusion. He feard he would break her if he touched her. But when his skin made contact with hers, he knew, this was no dream. Tears flowed from her eyes as she grasped his hand tightly.

"Daddy?"

Ash took in a ragged breath, hearing that word come from her made him break. The tears flowed from his eyes like Niagra Falls. His arms wrapped around her and brought her to him. She sat in his lap holding onto him. Both of them held onto the other as if they would disappear if they let go. Ash buried his face into her hair gently kissing the top of her head.

"I'm sorry."

His body shook slightly as he cried, "I am so sorry baby." She cried harder as she buried her face into his chest. "I missed 26 years of your life and I'll be damned if I miss another moment of it." She pulled away slightly to look up at her fathers tear stained face. "Did you not know about me?" Ash shook his head, and held Sky close to him, her head nestled under his chin. "I never even knew you existed. Artemis kept you from me."

"Who is Artemis?" Ash let out a long sigh, "She is your mother. For all intensive purposes." This made Sky laugh. She moved to look at him again and she wiped away his tears. "Don't be sad anymore. I'm here." She said in a silly way that made him laugh. "Akri!!!"

Sky watched as a girl with black hair, wings and horns came bounding into the room. "Akri are you still sad?" Ash shook his head, "No Simi I am not." She smiled, "Goody! Now can I go eat the red headed heafer goddess?" Sky raised an eyebrow, "Red headed heafer Goddess?" Simi nodded, "She means, your birth mother." "OH Okay!" Sky go a good look at Simi, "Hey are you the girl who likes Travis Fimmel." Simi rapidly nodded her head, "Yup, yup. He remindes me of Akri when he had his blond hair." Simi's face got close to Sky's "Are you natrual blond?" "Er…yes." Simi smiled, "Goody again!" Sky laughed really hard, "Any other siblings I need to know about?" Ash nodded, "Yes another sister, Kat." Simi hugged Sky realy tight "Welcome to our family SKY!"

Jasper and Tory walked in and Jasper could not help but smile a the sight before him. "Well I see the cry fest is over." Ash smiled as his wife came over to them. "Sky, this is my wife Tory." Sky smiled at Tory, "Hi Tory." She smiled and hugged her, "I guess I would be considered your step mom right?" Ash shrugged, "I guess."

Jasper watched the four of them for a while before sneaking out. Though he didn't get very far. Once he was on his Harley and about to put his helmet on, "Jasper?" He looke up to see Sky standing there. He lowered his helmet from his head and stared at her. "Why are you leaving?" He shrugged, "It was a family moment, I did not want to ruin it." Sky walked over to him and she took his hand in hers. Japser's heart began to race. "I don't want you to leave." He looked into Sky's eyes and cocked his head to the side. Sky giggled, "Don't do that?" He smiled and leand on the handles, "Why?" She smiled "Cause it makes you look to cute." He raised an eyebrow "Cute?" She nodded, "Yes, cute instead of drop dead gorgeous." Jasper smirked as Sky realised what she had just said. "I mean! I…er…" she groaned and buried her face in her hands. Trying to hide the fact that she was blushing.

Jasper leaned closer to her face, "Do not hide when you blush. You are cute when you blush." Sky brought her hands down only to revial her eyes. Jasper took a hold of her wrists in his hands and moved them away to revial her face. "If you wish for me to stay, then your wish, is my comand." She smiled and held Jasper's hand interlocking their fingers.

"Come on you two! The Simi has Barbaque Sauce!"

Sky and Jasper laughed as they walked inside, their hands still locked together. 'Things will be different from now on,' Jasper thought as he looked at Sky as they walked inside. Ash smiled seeing them together, 'But I do not care.' Sky looked at Jasper and smiled, seeing her happy made him happy.
