I do not own any of the characters they belong to diseny.
Rogue Life
Boots pound on the stone tiled floor with a determined stride and those in the hall step
out the way, in respect to the individual's status to theirs "morning General"
a head nod is all they get as the person keep moving to their destination,
The General stop at a pine wood door and knock "come in General"
the door open then close and the General stand before a male around 25 years
of age, chiseled face and honey complexion sitting at a desk with paper everywhere
covering it "I have an assignment for you, it's merely an observation mission..."
his brown eyes rise to look at her "as you personally know Sanai has left of her own accord
I want you to find out what she is up to and keep surveillance on her at all times, I don't
care how you do it just get it done and you don't have to inform me of her every move just
if she is alright can you do that...Elizabeth?" the one-eyed woman nod "I've already lost one child
I won't lose another and if the Spirit make itself known put a stop to it...quickly without casualities
do I make myself clear, we do not need to broadcast things to the humans before it's time"
"yes Alpha Acoose...is there anything else you need done before I carry this new assignment out?"
Elizabeth ask bowing at the waist "yes I want no one knowing of this, I will let your father know
since he will be going with you...will that be a problem?" Elizabeth's head shake "be honest if you do not
wish for him to accompany you I can always choose another"
Elizabeth return to her upright position "the only thing I require is that he obey my direct orders regarding
this assignment" Alpha Acoose nod and dismiss her.
The women walk out the hospital and in a very subtle way place Kim in the center while they keep an eye out for any potentials trying to make a name for themselves then let both redheads board first then Betty and Kira, Betty tap on the cockpit door letting Will know their ready for take off "here put these on and Agent Possible these are for you" she hand them each headsets and Kim a new uniform and boots
"finally...okay what the real sitch?"
"Kim me and your father are Lycans meaning you and the boys are one as well"
Kim stop pulling on her pants and stare at her mother confused "Lycan?" Ann nod, Kim think on it "I've heard that term before...I'm a werewolf?"
"yes, but you're only half Lycan, you won't be full Lycan until your first faze"
"and when will that be?"
Ann shrug "no one knows it's different for all Lycans, some start early and some start late, but always before their last human birthday or before they're twenty-five and being half Lycan gave you some advantages"
"how so?" that statement is more confusing than the Lycan bit
"well all the things you can do now would've taken you years to achieve if you had been a normal human, like...your sense of smell, sight and hearing as well as being stronger and you can jump higher...although you dont use those last two as often"
"how do you kn-" the look n her mother's eyes answers that dumb question, her mom knows everything that goes on in her children lives now that Kim has found out the family secret, she can guess her mom has been reading them all probably when Kim first discovered her abilities on her own "so I am a freak like those in my squad" Betty and Kira growl obviously offended by that one word, Kim smile meekly " sorry unique" they nod "I can live with that, but why haven't you or Dad told us about this?"
Ann sigh "in a weird way...to protect you three, so you can experience the world and all it had to offer, not have your lives filled with only turf wars between existing territories and new uprising territories looking to make a name for themselves by rebelling against the Five Families"
Kim smile and hug her mother "thanks, but how does all this explain the part about me being royalty?"
"that bite wound is the key to it all"
Kim pull at her collar to look at the mark, but get another shock "um...can somebody explain this..." she take off her shirt so the older females can get a good look at the new developments to the mark that is now sporting some weird looking ink job
"have you seen this before Elizabeth?"
Betty study the encryption surrounding the wound and notice the space in the center is darkening into an outstretched winged dragon "I don't know what the writing if one can call it that, but the dragon is the crest of The Council"
"and why is it on me?"
Betty shrug "could be to identify you or to locate you or protect you...I don't know, so we'll have to keep an extra close eye on you for anything suspicious"
Kim look at the mark once more before putting her shirt back on the more this day goes on the more freaked out she becomes "okay back to my question on me being royalty?"
"yes...the story we told you about that wound was indeed a lie...Princess Sanai is the one that bit you when you were an infant she did it for two reasons the first was to claim you as her own and the second was to save your life, a few months after you were born, you were diagnosed with a very serious illness that we couldn't readily identify...I know it seems wrong, believe me, your father and I were really, really pissed off about it for a long time, but then we realized that even though she marred small body she did save your life"
Kim nod she can agree with that, but it still doesn't change the fact that her parents lied to her and some girl had bit her that's just sick and wrong in her mind "that explains a good deal, so what are The Five Families and The Council and who is this Princess Sanai?"
"The Five Families are the Seniors, the Novakies, the Santives, the Tautors and whose territory we're heading to now the Goshin, they are original five clans that joined with the humans to rebel against the Vampires, thousands of years ago"
Kim mouth close "you mean to tell me Senor Senior Senior and Junior are Lycans too?" the ladies nod "whoa I never would've guessed"
"Camille Leone, Jack Hench and Adrena Lynn, Camille is the only one that as taken the whole faze thing a bit too far" Betty comments with a shiver of disgust, Ann and Kira share her feelings on that one woman while Kim look at them funny "she's definitely the black sheep out of the Families..." the other two agree "since your mother doesn't know much about them, I'll tell you about The Council, they are made up of six elders and one ruler, be it King or Queen, who has the last say in anything when major decisions come up, but at times the majority rules when votes are placed among them, so it's a Monarchy and among the elders a Democracy"
Kim tilt her head like a curious puppy "do any of the citizens get to vote?"
Betty shake her head "only during events happening among themselves, that the elders and the ruler deem too frivolous to deal with, never anything as important as Spirit Vessels or major events against their society as a whole"
"and what are Spirit Vessels?"
"after the Dragons were betrayed by the humans, they went back to their dimension honorably, but one held a deep seeded resentment towards the humans for their betrayal and the killing of his family, so once his battle scars healed he went back to make them pay and he did it in a grandiose way, you see this particular dragon held magnificent power, he was the only one of his kind to contain more than one major element, he had fire, water, earth and air and he used them all until one woman came along to challenge him and won, but what she didn't count on was his spirit continuing to live as long as his body held out which he tried to extend, but the woman he battled came back to finish her mission and since he didn't want to die he made her a proposal to become his new vessel and no human will ever have to worry about another attack, the only setback was her future daughters and theirs would be vessels to his children as well and with Princess Sanai being a descendant of her, however many greats grandmother she house a Dragon Spirit inside her too"
Kim sit back in awe, then realized something "how come none of this is in history books at any school or library?"
Betty smirk "that's because humans and us mystic beings erased it from history, everything about The Five Families are in their books so is the history of The Council and their lineage are in theirs and other mythological beings have their own books, but at times they blend, but it's always about their own kind"
"I have no idea how to process that, but if our kind and other kinds have always worked with humans..." she pause that word seem, so...weird for her to say "how come they call us monsters and freaks?"
Betty's eye narrow at that one word "humans are not comfortable with things they don't understand, but as they were trying to understand a few of us the more we kept things from them, for our own survival and that made us a danger to their existence, even though they were and still are fascinated by us"
Kim take a moment to think over that and smile "okay I can deal with that, but there's one thing you never mentioned?"
Betty look surprised and blink at the redhead in confusion "I thought I covered everything there is safe to cover what did I miss?"
"the fact that no one has told me who this Sanai woman is?" the ladies look at each other trying to see if any of them wants to touch that topic "hello...you've been answering my questions so far why are you holding back now?"
"uh Kimmie...Sanai is..."
Betty hold up her hand "I'll handle this as well Dr. Possible" Kim turn back to the Director, who clear her throat "Princess Sanai is..." all the ladies cover their very sensitive ears as the young redhead scream out a defiant 'what?' at the top of her lungs.
