Chapter 8

"Come on Cleo, let's go see if they have daddy's favorite candy." The little girl giggled up at me as she kicked her legs in the basket. Her hair was golden like her fathers, but she had my eyes. I looked back to check on the twins and triples. My twin boys James and John, both with my hair and Jacks eyes, were giving each other sly looks. I frowned.

"Boys, don't even think about it." They looked up at me with those innocent eyes of theirs. I laughed. That wasn't going to work with me. My triplets, Victoria, Elisabeth, and Henry were all walking and texting, maneuvering around objects like pros. They were like the twins, they were identical. All with all with their father's hair and my eyes like their youngest sister Cleopatra. I touched my stomach, I was have another pair of twins. I shook my head. I need to have a talk with Jack about that.

"You three better be watching your brother's and making sure they're not getting into any trouble." I told them. They responded with a grunt. I shook my head. I took another step, then stopped. No. It can't be. My body tensioned. I could feel my fangs itching to come out.

"Vicky, take Cleo and your other siblings and go home, Henry tell your father we have a code green." They all looked up from their phones in confusion.

"But Mom-"

"Now Victoria! No back talk. Call Tyler and Jacob and tell them to get to the house. Tell them it's a code red." I ordered. Thankfully Derek had come with us. He wouldn't let anything happen to them. Victoria took her little sister into her arms. She's frightened Sky. I scolded myself. I kissed each other their heads quickly and sent them on their way. When they were out of site, my phone buzzed. I took it out of my pocket. Text message from Jack. It read: ON MY WAY.

"You sure do have a lot of kids." She said, I turned, rage filled my vision. She wasn't alone. The bitch is too much of a coward for that. I thought. I didn't respond.

"And your pregnant again I see." She sneered. I snarled.

"The fuck do you want, you fucking whore?!" I demanded. The store was quite. They must have emptied it. She glared at me with those green eyes of hers.

One of the blue bloods behind her, snarled at me. I raised an eyebrow and plucked the pin out of my hair, twirling it in my hands waiting for him to make a move so I could unleash my sword and shove it through his heart.

"Bring it newbie." I taunted.

Skylar. Is it? Jack asked me through our bond.

Yes.

What isle?

Candy.

On my way love.

Jack, there's ten of them. I call the big ones. I could hear sound of his laughter in my head.

"Ah so he's finally here." I just looked at her. Seconds later Jack was by my side.

"What do you want… Sister?"

"What's wrong Jack? Can't even say my name?" She teased.

"You're lucky you're still breathing. If it wasn't for him you wouldn't be a live Mimi."

FLASHBACK

With speed that would have made the speed of light wish it was faster, I Spartan kicked Mimi through the walls behind her. Till she was skidding on the hard dirty ground, I flew after her like a bullet. Grabbed one of her wings and lifted her and throw her. She was struggling to stand on her feet. I gave her a bloodthirsty grin.

"What happened to being the big bad angel of death? I don't hear all that talk now," I taunted. Like lightening, she tackled me to the ground, her sword forgotten for the moment. We landed on my back, and I cried out in pain from the impact. But she wasn't done. She assaulted me with a series of punches that I did my best to block.

Think Skylar. Think!

Uncrossing my arms, I used my upper body and shoved her off me. Which launched her in the air. There was only a blur of kicks and punches, hell an even some hair pulling. But in the end. It was me that had came out on top. My blade was at her throat and I looked down at her with a smug expression. I must have looked like an insane person. My hair was filthy, clothes ripped and torn. Blood that was mine and some that wasn't, holding a very large sword at a girl's throat with a crazy grin on my face.

Yeah, this would be so easy to explain to someone.

"I should take this nice and slow. To make you fucking suffer; but I don't think Jack would like me to do that to his sister. So instead, I'm going to cut your fucking throat open and watch you bleed out to death." Just as I was about to put my sword into her throat-

Skylar! Don't.

I snarled in my head. And why the hell not! I demanded.

It'll be better if you let her live and let her live with the fact that you beat her, than killing her. That knowledge will drive her insane.

And what's going to make her not come after us for revenge?

Skylar… please. Jack pleaded in my head. I didn't care. I wanted her dead. And he wasn't about to-

Khalessi, I'm begging you. Let her live. Let's start our new beginnings. Away from all of this. Please? I snarled lifted my sword from her neck.

"Your brother just saved your life. Be grateful."

FLASHBACK END

"This was not part of the deal." Jack snapped at her.

Deal?

She grinned at him. "Too bad. Deals change. Especially since I'm the new head of the Conclave now." She sneered.

"What deal?" I said out loud. She laughed at me.

"Oh so you don't know?"

"Jack what deal?" He winced and looked at me with an apologetic look.

"Skylar, there was no other way to get her out of our lives…" I growled deep in my throat.

"What fucking deal?!" He sighed.

"The deal was that if Mimi kept her life, Michael wouldn't hunt us down and let us live our lives in peace." Rage flowed through me like a rushing river.

"Even after she killed our girls… Even after she tried to kill me; you still wanted to make a deal for her life?" I snapped.

"I am so sorry Skylar. I was only trying to protect us…" He reached for my hand and I drew it back. To angry and upset to have him touch me at the moment. Mimi snickered.

"This is all so touching and everything, but its time you and your little half breed and little bastard children, come to the Conclave."

"Over my fucking dead body," I snarled at them and called forth my sword and pointed at Mimi's throat.

"Let's finish what we didn't all those years ago."
