Dark Heart: fay war.
Chapter Nineteen.
They were well hidden, if she had not 'Seen' their location she would not have found them. She hated having to do this after all the good she had done, it made her feel like a traitor in many ways. But alas find the rouge fay she must… speak to the former fay general and give her information that would lead to the deaths of many. It was her fate… her burden to bare and she must get it done quickly if she is to get to The Vale in time. She enters their camp hands raised, walking slowly.
"Stop… human… who are you ?" snaps a former soldier.
"No one… I bare a message for the general… Sir" she replies meekly.
"Fine tell me and be on your way" he snaps.
"Forgive me but I was told for the general only… Sir" she adds.
He huffs and calls another fay to watch her while he gets General Imogen.
The former fay general strides up to her moments later "What message and from who ?".
She glances at the other fay "Forgive me… I was told for you only General" she looks down.
Imogen frowns then sighs and says "Very well, follow me" as she turns and walks to her tent.
Once inside the fay sits and commands the human to speak.
"I have news and a message. Your queen is dead… her line is gone" she says softly.
Imogen growls.
"The location of those responsible is my message… in two days they will be at spot perfect for ambush if you wish to exact revenge for your queen" she adds quickly.
"Of course I do… tell me who and where" snaps the fay.
"The entire vampire council will be travelling past Little Lake in two days, headed north, west" she replies.
"Why are they doing that ?" Imogen asks.
"They will be on their way back from the fay city" she replies.
The former fay general thinks a moment "And who is this message from ?".
"Fate" she says evenly.
The fay raises her eyebrow and glares at the human.
"I have visions… I have seen you and your company kill the vampire council. It happens near Little Lake in two days time, believe me or not it is up to you General" she adds.
"You're a Seer ?" asks Imogen.
"Yes… I am" she replies.
The fay nods then asks "And we kill them all ?".
"Yes… the whole vampire council" she replies.
Imogen grins then and nods more before she asks "What do you want in return ?".
"Nothing General… unless you have a spare horse… I walked a long way to get here… riding home would be nice if that is not too much to ask" she replies knowing she will need one to get to The Vale.
"Where did you come from Seer ?" asks the fay.
"The eastern end of The Dannath, General" she replies.
Imogen nods "A long way indeed… very well a horse we can spare and a meal if you hungry… one last thing… do my men survive the raid ?".
She nods "Yes General… all but two".
"Acceptable loss" nods the former General.
"A meal would be more than welcome… thank you for your kindness General" she says.
The fay dismisses her and orders her second in command to feed the human and give her a horse.
Imogen wants to think, wants to plan… she sends a scout to Little Lake before retiring to her tent to plan the ambush.
James, Melody and Beau meet Shadow, William and Erin at Second Fork, just north of Lord Balthazar's estate. The Alpha's take a walk and discuss the situation, James is very relieved that William knows Lucien.
"So do you think he will join us ?" asks James.
William nods "Oh yes… he hates Vincent, I'm sure he will join us".
"Good… we will need every wolf we can muster if the rumours are true about the size of the pack now" replies James.
"I have sent a scout north to get our own information… she will find out if we need to worry or not" says William.
"Lets hope the stories are wrong…" nods James.
"If not we will need every pack this side of the Dannath" muses William.
James nods slowly a troubled look on his face.
"So West is with us ?" asks William.
"Yes he is… Beau is here to get word back to him" replies James.
William nods and they walk back to the others slowly both thinking very heavy thoughts.
"We should go see Lucien…" says James.
"Yes we should… I hear he's living on a vampire's estate" replies William.
"Yes a Lord Castiel I am told… do you know of him ?" says James.
William shakes his head "No… I do not".
"His lands are further east of here over Black briar ridge" says James.
William nods "I know the ridge… it won't take long from here, we should go now".
James nods his agreement and the alpha's rouse everyone to their feet the moment they are back to them.
"Let's go… we head east" says William.
Erin gets up and moves to his side.
"Past Black briar" adds James.
Melody, Shadow and Beau get up too.
They gather their bags and start east, going to see the alpha Lucien. Not knowing that he is not at the vampire lords castle…
She eats because she has too, she needs the strength and when she is done she takes the horse offered her and rides north east… rides to The Hidden Vale… rides to make up for the horrible wrong she just did. She rides to the last place in Midian the Blood of the Moon can be found… to tell those who still hear of the Alpha King to be… of Lucien.
~*Yes I know… I can hear you grumble… yes this is a Destiel AU… but there is a plot… a world around them… things need to unfold and some times Cas and Dean are not a part of them… sorry. I do promise some Destiel somewhere in the next two chapters at least. Reviews are more than welcome and let me know your enjoying the tale ! *~
