The Recruitment of Ash Redfern

Keller's POV

''Today you will be recruiting a very important person for Circle Daybreak'' Lord Thierry informs my sister and I. ''He might put up a bit of a fight but he's a crucial part of what's to come'' We nod in understanding.

''May we bring our soulmates?''

''Keller you may but I'm afraid Rashel that Quinn will have to sit this one out''

''He's not going to be happy'' Rashel says under her breath although I'm sure Thierry can hear her.

''So who is it?'' I ask, getting the most important information.

''That's classified''

''What?'' Rashel demands.

''Trust me, it's better if you don't know and if some of the other Daybreakers find out they might not want to stay''

''We won't tell'' I assure him.

''No but your soulmates might and really everything gets messy with telepathicy involved'' In the end Rashel and I can't go against orders so we leave and get ready to leave.

Ash's POV

I sit down on my couch and put my feet on the table. It had been a long day, a werewolf club had chosen an interesting source of entertainment that I ended, hanging teenage girls upside down just wasn't my thing. It had never been my thing, not even before Mary-Lynette. Sure I had thought humans were vermin but I didn't take interest in them hanging upside down, no I preferred to get some pleasure out of them. Just thinking about this sort of thing made me miss Mare, I really was turning into an embarrassment. The slightest thing would have me off day dreaming, it was starting to get frustrating, I still had four months left until I saw her. Suddenly there was a knock on the door and I contemplated getting it. When I opened it there was two women standing there, they look very alike, long black hair, tall slim build.

''What can I do for you?'' I ask leaning against the door frame.

''We are here on business'' One of the two replies, I have no idea who these two are so I have to stall this a little longer until I can figure their motives.

''Oh surely we can have a bit of fun before we get down to business''

''We are on behalf of Lord Thierry'' I stand back and motion for them to come in; they give each other a hesitant look before entering. As I guide them in I can see them looking about my apartment, it's extremely basic which seems to disappoint them.

''Well what can I do for Lord Theirry?''

''We are here to recruit you'' One of them says, she seems to be the one who does the most talking.

''No offense to his Lordship but I think I'm alright, I don't need to join any secret organizations''

''Well we were told you were a very important person, you would not turn down one of the oldest elders''

''At least tell me why I'm needed''

''Circle Daybreak is in need of you''

''Circle Daybreak?'' I start laughing, these two must be off their rocker if they think I'm joining circle Daybreak. I'd heard rumours that Thierry was going soft in the head but this was not what I expected. My laughing was interrupted by a slight tap on the door, the person who knocked didn't wait for an answer and just strode right on in. When I see who it is all signs of my laughter go and the atmosphere becomes tense. ''Well if it's not Galen Drache, price of all shape shifters, in my humble home'' The girls looked a little uncomfortable with me knowing one of their identities but Galen looks furious.

''Ash Redfern'' he spits; the girls then look at me in disgust.

''If that's the attitude you're going to show me you have no hope of me coming with you'' The group continues to stare at me in disgust.

''This can't be right'' Galen says breaking the heavy silence.

''No this is the address'' The talkative of the two sisters reply.

''Are you sure it said recruit and not kill on the file''

''Oh yes Thierry was adamant about this person needing to be recruited''

''So hold on, let me get this straight. You went on a mission without knowing who your target is or why they are wanted?'' I interrupt.

''Lord Thierry does not have to explain himself'' the quieter of the two snaps.

''Well clearly he does'' I say back. Just as she's about to open her mouth again Galen interrupts her.

''This is getting us nowhere, obviously Ash is important and Thierry want him for some reason. We told Thierry we would get this mission done so we are going to. Ash would you be willing to come with us?''

''Oh yes, this whole encounter has me rather intrigued''

Please review, the next chapter will be up soon and it will be better.
