Chapter 11

Up into the mountains into their stronghold we went. Most never came against this powerful coven. Most covens have one two or very rarely three gifted immortals. They were five that called them self-brothers with mates all gifted. Ten gifted immortals, a smorgasbord of gifts for me to choose from if I wish. Everyone was a little on edge. Kat just rolled with it and her attitude seemed to calm the others.

As we drew close the drawbridge came down and the porticos was gaping open an immortal looking younger than Kat was standing there.

"Welcome to our home my name is Dracula."

I almost burst out laughing I hear Kat mutter "Count if you please."

I felt his gift it was similar to one of mine, being able to see gifts and read them. It was bouncing off of mine. He had a small frown on his face like he couldn't figure me out.

"Please follow me the others are waiting."

He brought us to a nicely furnished room where all 18 of us looked at each other. One of the ten had a gift that let them speak telepathically as a group. Dracula was given them what he had learned about us. I just stood there watching their faces. Obviously word had spread about "the incident".

The leader of the group stepped forward nodded, "Zeus and Zhou."

Zeus inclines his head "Stephen sorry to drop in uninvited. I would like to introduce you to Michael."

We had talked about it on the way here. They may be the oldest coven they had strict manners easily offended. It was thought best that the use of my full name was in the best interest of this visit. Kat had snorted at that but if it made things go smoother that the last time I was all for it.

"Ah yes lord Death your deeds run before you even here we have heard of that blowhard's death." Most of the ten laugh at his joke all but one of the wives, she has her gift trained on me. I see she has the ability to create a pocket that negates gifts. It encompasses about an acre she has no control of its size.

I make eye contact with her. "I would advise against that miss, not knowing her name. Only two people will walk out of here Kat and I. if you insist I would ask you let the others with draw I would not wish them to be dragged into this."

The whole time I am having a stair down with her Stephen is watching me carefully gaging me how I move what my body language may say. He raises his hand and she stops. "You think the two of you would prevail against all ten of us?"

"Yes."

He looks to Kat and she gives him an indifferent look. Fight don't fight it's all the same to her.

"You have many gifts you and your daughter would fit in nicely in our coven."

I incline my head; "we have a home of our own."

"Is it true you drink animals" Vladimir spits out?

Kat looks right at him "BEARS YUMMY."

I actually palm my face. She has had it with them. "KAT." The one word rings out into the silence.

Toa looks at her like she has lost her mind.

She looks at her friend and then me, "what he started it. I'm not taking his shit, not now, not later, it didn't work out last time so I figure I will go for the direct approach. I will probably have to rip his head off anyway."

I am pinching my noise and all that comes to mind is Edward doing the same. Shit what is happening to me, where the happy go lucky guy that can make friends with anyone is. How many ass-holes do I have to deal with? Maybe Kat is right and we should just kill them all and start over.

"Fuck Kat we talked about this."

She gives me the look, "fine."

I'm going to hear about this later I actually wince.

While this is going on Vald is getting his ass reamed, there group mind screaming at him. Kat wasn't the only one told to keep their mouths shut.

I try to salvage this, "look Stephen can we get back to the reason of our visit?" I had realized that he was the spokesman for their coven I was unsure if he was the leader.

They stop glaring at Vlad their eyes locked on me ten gazes wondering if I am for real.

"Ah yes the conclave you are calling. We have heard you wish to establish a set of rules with penalties."

"I wish to grab the five strongest covens together to discuss this; dark times are coming for the humans and our people."

"Who told you this young one?"

It pissed me off I was just over 2,000 he may be older than me but I was no new born I have paid my dues. "My name is Michael not young one. If that is too tough for you call me death for I am the reaper of souls and I am an inch away to telling Kat to FUCK YOU UP!"

He made a placating gesture, "I meant no disrespect."

I know he is full of shit. He knows I know. I would love to wipe that shit eating grin off his face. If it was just Kat and I it would be go time.

The others in my group started to pull away from Kat and I. with the look on my face they knew I had had enough of their shit.

Stephen looked at Zeus.

Zeus shakes his head no.

He looks at Zhou.

Zhou shakes his head no.

Then he looks at me and understands one more wrong word, gesture, or sneer. We will see if they can take us or not.

The group mind is going the whole time one of them has a gift to annualize the outcome of a mêlée she gasps as the only two left of the fight are not them.

Stephen's whole body language changes, "perhaps a break to let us confer my we show you to some rooms to freshen up?"

Our groups are broken up Kat and I are shown to a lovely room in the north tower.

"What is this about dad?"

"They wish to talk with the other get a feel for us. All they have to go on is hear say. I'm sure the Romans are getting grilled as we speak."

A day went by and no one bothered us.

"I'm glad we ate before coming here. I think human is the only thing on the menu;" she gives me her sassy grin.

"No I don't think we are getting room service any time soon." As I finish saying that I sense two immortals heading our way.

A knock on the door we have guests. I walk over and open the door to be greeted by two of the silent coven members. "My we have some of your time?"

I make a welcoming gesture to the chairs by the window. "It's something I have a lot of please."

As she passes she stops and offers her hand. I reach out and she grabs just below the elbow that is when I see faint marks below her skin a knotted band around her wrist her red hair and before the change I would bet my soul she had green eyes. I clasped her forearm back a little shocked. Then she spoke a phrase Gran use to mutter something similar when she greeted other clans. I mangled the responds.

Her eyes flue open "I am Serris of the clan Mc-tarvish."

Then I did something I had only seen grandpa do once before he passed. "Michael of the clan Mc-sands."

She smiles, "my mate Torrin."

I grab his arm. "My daughter Kaytlyn."

Kat shakes their arms and we sit down. "So you two drew the short stick?"

Torrin smiles, "we are the youngest in the coven at 3,000 and change. It was thought we would relate better than the older members."

What they did not know was I had taken their gifts and memories at first grasp. Kat was aware of my intentions from the start, we just were unsure of how to obtain the touch.

She was the tactician he was telekinetic able to move twice his body weight. I now knew Stephen was against any rules. Their coven was run by vote, majority rules. It was the first time I had seen this, most were dictatorships. Zhou was a good leader but still only his opinion counted. They had voted, these two would come to represent there coven. I remain silent so not to giveaway one of the most powerful gifts I have.

Kat chats them up. "So your other coven mates are pumping our companions for information about us?"

Serris smiles, "I'm sure you availed yourself of their knowledge of us on you trip here."

Kat bobs her head.

There's a lull in the conversation so I jump back in see how they will react, "how far will that group mind work?"

Torrin looks floored; Serris brain is firing putting together small pieces of the whole. I am using her gift with all the answers she only has half. I already know it has no geographic limit the question is to see how she reacts, if she lies, how she responds.

I see the light go on behind her eyes, the others are listening in her head and are behind by a few seconds. She smiles shaking her head. "Good thing Stephen shut up."

Torrin had a look of fear in his eyes. "Shit."

Kat smiles at him, "no deep, deep, shit if you ever piss dad off."

We had to sit through a high feast someone had gotten two brown bears for us chained by our chairs. The rest of the party dined al-natural like I said before, for most vampires people were the other white meat. Amongst screams and crying Kat and I snapped our bears necks and drained them. It was all I could do not to kill a few of the Romanians, they played with their food telling them they would stop before killing them. Promising to take their children next because they tasted so good that was Vlad the sick fuck. I almost ended him then, do it, don't, whatever you can let them leave this world unknowing of the pain you will be delivering to their families. His mate was the worse, I hated I knew her name. I refused to even think it she was just "the evil bitch" in my head. She snapped bones causing maximum pain and fear and then slowly lap at the blood as it ran down the girls arm making sure to never touch the cut with her venom. The 16 year old girl lasted all most 2 hours.

Serris saw me staring, her mind working the group mind focusing on her. "The Evil bitch" huffs and bites down finishing her meal pouting afterwards.

Kat's pov

Dad gets up and leaves. I stay for a few minutes longer, waiting until she is sure dad can't hear. "You stupid stupid fool, he will end you for that Carra. The first time you fuck up, the first time you look at him wrong, will be your last. You hide behind these others and he will kill them all to get to you. The best thing you can do for yourself and your coven is never let him see you again. There is only one thing that he will not stand for, playing with the humans before you eat them. I know Master Zhou must have told you this." She looks over and he nods. "I honestly don't know why your head is not in the fire place right now."

Vladimir tries to stick up for his mate, "he was afraid of us."

Zhou stands up looks at vlad, "no he wasn't" and walks out.

Zeus gets up, "I would listen to the young lady" nods his head walking out.

Kat walked back at reaching the door she slowly opens it and steps in her father is standing in the center of the room shaking.

She looks at his eyes they are completely black not even a ring of gold.

"Say the word dad we'll kill-em all."

She knows he is hanging by a thread. She can't bring anyone in here he'll kill them before he even realizes who they are thank god he love me I'm the only one he won't kill.

She steps out and goes to Zhou's room. "Make sure no one comes to our rooms when I can I will try to get him out side at that point you trail us but don't approach until I tell you, he will kill any immortal he sees right now then he will come back here and kill this entire coven."

Zhou nods, "I'll take care of it."

She went back worrying the entire way how the hell can she get dad outside.

In the end she just went for expedience punching a large hole in the outside wall. She looks at her dad who has not moved in two days, "fuck-em right dad, hope their tower falls down. Come on lets go. Dad please, you worked so hard to get them to come. It would be a waist to kill them and have to go get new ones. Nothing, really, Come on, it was a little bit funny. Wow tough room." She looks at him, "dad I need to hunt but I don't want to go alone no telling what these shit bags will try."

She sees him blink and then start to walk toward her stopping next to her. She grabs his hand "thanks dad I love you." She feels him squeeze her hand still locked like a statue afraid of what he will do if he lets go.

We ran for a day finally coming to cliff face she felt his hand pulling out of hers. He faces the wall and a scream is ripped out of his body with his hands out in front of him like he is going to push the mountain. Kat is thrown back as a beam of pure power is ripped out of her father to her immortal eyes it looks like a rainbow is hitting the wall but it is far from that. It lasts for a little more than a minute before dad falls to his knees his hands in the dirt in front of him. There is a round hole six feet in diameter going further that even she can see in a straight line.

End of Kat pov

I left the hall seeing red, no wall, no floor, all I knew was one more second and they were all going to die even my beloved Kat. That was what gave me the strength to get up and leave. I found a spot where I knew Kat would find me and keep those jackals from me. After a while I heard her. "Nothing ******,**** on, ** *** * little bit funny. Dad *************need ** hunt. ***************************shit bags." All was red I move to her voice her hand grabs mine. Ah a life line I squeeze once to let her know I'm still here. She tugs and I follow we run but everything still is washed out in red. We stop and I pull my hand away I can feel her to my right and slightly behind me I finally let go. All the rage and hate I feel for that bitch having to let her live. Not often does my vampire side awaken it usually simmers quit and hot never boiling over. All the gifts are active something I thought was impossible the power it has to go somewhere I scream and feel it drain out of my hands. For 73 seconds I feel everything in front of me just vaporizing. I feel the blood drain into my system the venom burn almost like the first time, falling I hit the ground. Kat has drug a deer to me snapping its neck she tosses it to me I'm on it like my first meal. Three deer's later I stand.

"Where are the others?"

"About a mile away;" the relief in her voice is palatable.

"Do you think they saw?"

"Dad it was hard to miss, if I could I would have shit myself."

"Go get them, tell Torrin and Serris to leave the group mind until the conclave or I will kill them on the spot. Let them know I will know if they use it, that bitch's mind is not even aloud in spirt where I am."

Kat came back with Zhou and Toa in tow. The others were slowly following thinking to get a head start before I kill the rest.

Zhou walks up and pats my shoulder, "you had me a little concerned my friend."

I look him I the eye, "you should all thank Kat she saved your lives back there."

Zeus looks confused looking at the hole, "were you pointed at us first?"

"No Zeus at the banquet if she wasn't there that hole would have been the castle."

The rest walk up I can feel they stopped the group mind. I look at them, "Thank you when you use it in conclave I would like you to keep her out. I know I will not know but I hope that if you give me your word it will be enough."

Torrin looks at the hole; "I will impress on the others the need to remove her when you are there."

Hermes is standing in front of the hole it's been a few hours and he puts his hand on the inside, "it's like glass. I wonder how far it goes?" He hops up inside "I have to know," and takes off in a crouching run almost like when we are running down prey. Ten minutes later he hops down, "it goes straight threw. It's so pretty it cut and polished stones and silver and gold. Too bad it's so close to their home. This is a treasure they don't disserve."

Kat leaps up and disappears inside. You hear ripping and screeching. The others look at me and then back at the hole I just shrug. Twenty minutes pass and a dirty Kat pops out.

She has a basketball size ball of gold. "I ripped it out and weakened the tunnel. It should collapse on its self in a few days." She gives a death glare at Torrin and Serris, "if I hear anything was taken out of that hole by your coven dad won't have to kill you I will." She tosses me the gold with a smile. "That should be worth a few million when we get home."

I heft it she had packed it incredibly dense 60-70 mill maybe in my time. "We'll throw it in the box and let it sit a few hundred years."

smooth sailing now off to see his friend or not look for the next post. send me some love kessy63
