Hey guys I'm so sorry for not updating this story in so long. Writers block is to blame anyway enjoy the latest chapter "Little Fire"
Enya's POV
After Shendu and I returned to the palace we parted ways so we could sleep in our separate rooms as couples usually did before they got married. Even though I was ecstatic to be a mother, Shendu and I agreed that the pregnancy should be kept secret for now. When I had entered my rooms my servants again ambushed me wanting to prep me for bed but I shooed them out. After changing into comfortable night clothes I settled in for the evening. The next eighteen months were going to be long and I would need to be patient. It didn't take long for sleep to come to me and soon I was in its embrace. Then a loud boom soon added by Shendu's pissed off roars woke me up. I immediately got out of bed and pulled on a dark red robe and followed after my mate's scent. Up ahead Shendu was looking through a massive hole through the palace wall with two of his dragons flying in the air.
"Oh s**t" I swore realizing Jade had finally decided to act up on her plan.
"Centuries of history altered" Shendu hissed as I came beside him. "Your very memory erased and still somehow they dare defy me, I will you find you Chan and your family, and I promise you I shall erase more than your memory"
"We need to act fast before they find the Book of Ages" I told Shendu.
Immediately Shendu turned to see me next to him.
"Little Fire you should be resting" my mate stated.
"F**k rest" I growled. "As much as I don't want to go after Jade and the others, you and I have our children to worry about"
Shendu growled knowing I was right.
"What the hell was that noise?!" Hsi Wu demanded as he flew over towards us.
The sky demon looked irritated that he had been woken up from his sleep and Dai Gui came to a stop in front of us.
"We have a problem brother" Shendu explained to his two siblings. "The human female you wish to claim has escaped along with her uncles, worse her memory hadn't been erased before I rewrote the Book of Ages"
"SAY WHAT?!" Dai Gui protested.
"It's supposed to happen like this" I interrupted getting the attention of the three male demons. "But as much as I hate to say this she needs to be stopped"
"Damn right!" Hsi Wu agreed. "I refuse to return to the void again!"
"Calm down Hsi" I told the sky demon coming over to him.
I placed a hand onto his arm and immediately he calmed down.
"Enya this isn't like you sister" Dai Gui said to me.
It was then the earth demon red eyes widened. Hsi Wu's did too.
"Figured it out huh?" I teased the two males with a smirk.
"How far along are you?" Hsi Wu asked.
"We are not sure" Shen answered. "We only found out earlier and it's not one she carries, but two"
"Holy crap!" Hsi Wu exclaimed.
I smirked at the sky demon's reaction.
"For now it would be smart for you two to return to your domains and warn our siblings" Shendu continued.
Dai Gui nodded in agreement before he turned around and took his leave.
"Damn this sucks!" Hsi Wu complained. Then the sky demon patted my hair.
"Make sure she's well cared for Shendu"
Shendu gave his brother a warning growl and Hsi Wu smirked. I was quick to press a quick kiss against the sky demon's cheek which got Hsi Wu to blush. He then opened his wings and flew out of the castle so he could head back to his home.
"You know how this ends Shen" I told my mate in a grave tone.
"Not all will go to that child's plan" Shendu replied and I saw his smirk.
"What do you have planned?" I asked arching an eyebrow.
"Patience my love and you will see" Shendu purred. "For now we must prepare to leave"
After gathering some necessary supplies Shendu and I took our leave from the palace. I would go on ahead in my dragon form while Shendu would gather information along the way from the other domains. I hope Dai Gui and Hsi Wu were smart enough to notify their siblings about what was going on. I followed Hsi Wu's scent and after an hour of flight his tower came into sight. I could hear Hsi Wu thankfully and I hoped it wasn't too late. The sky was pacing around looking stressed as I came upon the highest level of the tower. His tower was actually large enough for me to land my dragon form and I returned to my human form. I wore the same dress from yesterday minus the gold armbands and my hair was in a pony tail.
"Oh thank goodness!" Hsi Wu exclaimed as he came over to me.
"Did you warn the others?" I asked.
"Yes however it's too late for Po Kong and Xiao Fung" His Wu answered.
"F**k" I swore. "You need to get out of here now Jade and the others will be here to banish you soon"
"I was just about to do that" the sky demon said. "Just be safe"
He then pressed a kiss against my cheek before he opened his wings and flew off.
I breathed a sigh of relief glad I was able to save at least one of the nine demon sorcerers. Lightning suddenly crackled the sky and I swore realizing that none other than Tchang Zu was coming. It didn't take long for the thunder demon to arrive and he looked surprised to see me.
"What are you doing here?" he demanded.
"To warn Hsi he's already gone and you should be fleeing as well"
"As much as I appreciate your warnings Enya I am not afraid of those humans so I will fight"
I sweat dropped knowing this was to be expected from the thunder demon.
"Enya what are you doing here?!" Jade called out. I swore and turned to see that Jade finally managed to find the other members of the J-Team. Tchang Zu growled before he unleashed his lightning at them. They scattered and the thunder demon said to me.
"I will hold them off while you escape"
I was shocked to hear those words coming from Tchang Zu's mouth.
"And I wish you victory" I told the thunder demon before I shifted into my dragon form once more and I took flight. I didn't want to leave him behind but I had no other choice as I flew to a safe distance away from the tower. Lighting flashed here and there until before I caught the scent of a demon portal opening. I heard Tchang Zu's yells before all was quiet at the tower. I then saw something falling towards the ground and I did a nosedive flying after it. I grabbed the object in my mouth and felt it was one of Shendu's talismans. On the ground on the back of one of his dragons was Shendu with Hsi Wu flapping his wings to remain in flight. I landed on the ground making it shake beneath me and I turned my head to Shen. I opened my mouth and dropped the Ox talisman into his palm.
"Thank you Little Fire" my mate said to me.
Before I could reply I growled and my feet went out underneath me. I returned to my human form alarming both Shendu and Hsi Wu. The sky demon flew to the ground and scooped me into his grasp before taking flight and placing me in front of my mate on the dragon's back.
"It must be the pregnancy making you tired" Shendu stated.
"It is" Hsi Wu agreed. "You need to rest Enya"
"For once I agree" I told my mate and his brother with a reassuring wave. Shendu suddenly roared and I looked up to see the rest of the J-Team flying away on the carpet.
"They are now heading towards the Book" Shen growled.
"There you are!" Kumori's voice rang out.
Shendu turned the dragon around to face the astral projection of Kumori, Bai Tsa, Dai Gui, and Tso Lon's faces hovering in the air.
"About time you guys called!" His Wu protested.
"We had to flee our domains!" Bai Tsa roared out.
"Enough!" Kumori shouted. "Where are Chan and the rest of his friends heading now brother?"
"To the Book of Ages" Shendu growled.
"This isn't good" Tso Lon stated.
"Well when we arrive there someone needs to be with Enya!" Hsi Wu protested. "If you heard the news she carries twins inside her!"
"I will aide you with that" Bai Tsa told Hsi Wu. "Kumori, Tso Lon, Dai Gui, and Shendu can fend off Chan and his allies"
"Thank you Bai Tsa"
Bai Tsa flashed me a smile before her face disappeared along with her other siblings. Shendu then suggested I rest because the flight towards Australia would be a few hours and sleep could replenish my strength. I did as my mate suggested and rested my eyes. After what felt like forever Shen managed to wake me up and below us was definitely the Australian outback.
"This was definitely a wise place to put the Book of Ages" I told my mate.
"It didn't stop me from finding it" Shendu stated.
"There they are" Hsi Wu shouted pointing down below us.
Sure enough right in front of the Book of Ages fortress was Jade and the others about to enter. However Dai Gui suddenly appeared behind them catching the others off guard. A funnel of water shortly appeared a second later to reveal Bai Tsa. Kumori was the third to land in her true form making the ground shake underneath her. Tso Lon used his magic to land next to Kumori, and lastly Shendu landed the dragon on the ground. Hsi Wu chose that moment to scoop me into his grasp and flew me away from harm.
"Quick the spells!" Jade said turning to Uncle.
Uncle held two green pouches up ready to use but Shendu's red eyes lit up and using the power of the pig talisman the pouches got destroyed.
"Aiyah!" Uncle exclaimed.
"What spells?" Shendu taunted.
He then started to laugh along with his other siblings. The others then started to run towards the fortress and Shendu continued to unleash his laser beams at them. The J-Team managed to get into the fortress before Shendu blasted the rest of the wall with the power of the pig talisman.
"Destroy them!" Kumori shouted.
"Hold on!" I shouted getting the demon's attention. "They are gonna split up to find the Book of Ages, it would be wise to do the same"
"You have a smart mate brother" Bai Tsa praised Shen.
Shendu's face turned slightly red in embarrassment which got me to smirk.
"I will go after that fool with the rabbit talisman" Dai Gui stated. He then used his arms to dig into the earth and a second later he went after Tohru. Tso Lon chose to chase El Toro, while Kumori would go after Viper.
"I will go after Chan myself" Shendu explained. "The three of you must find the Book of Ages before that girl does"
Shendu then turned to me.
"And my Little Fire must make an adjustment"
"What adjustment?" I asked.
Shendu chuckled darkly before he suddenly conjured what looked like to be a piece of parchment. It was another missing piece from the Book of Ages.
"How the hell did you get that?!" Bai Tsa protested.
"I knew this would fall into place" Shendu explained. "However if Chan and his family does manage to defeat us, I had to make sure there was a back up plan, which Enya must write"
Hsi Wu placed me down on the ground and Shendu bent his face down and whispered what I to write into my ear. My eyes widened but I nodded nonetheless. He then handed me the parchment and we shared a quick kiss before he headed after Jackie.
"I know where the book is" I told Bai Tsa and Hsi Wu. "I trust you two can manage to get me there?"
Both the water and sky demon smirked which got me to smirk in return. Bai Tsa then gently grabbed me into her grasp and she placed me onto her shoulder.
"Hold on sister" she said to me before she took off using her speed. Hsi Wu had to flap his wings fast so he could keep up with Bai Tsa. I never understood how Bai managed to even move so damn fast. Thanks to the parchment I told the water demon the direction to follow and it wasn't long until she came to a stop in front of the aqua colored portal.
"That's it" I told her.
"Sometimes I wish you weren't so damn fast Bai" Hsi Wu growled in a pant as he landed on the ground.
"Shut up brother" Bai Tsa scolded.
I sighed shaking my head before I walked forward and entered the portal. I ignored the surroundings as I came upon the book. I turned the pages until I found the page that had been ripped out. Next to the page which Jade had accidentally taken out was another large gap. Sure enough there had been another piece taken from the Book of Ages when Jade tried to stop Shendu. Bai Tsa and Hsi Wu appeared on both sides of me. Bai Tsa muttered a spell which would allow me to write what I needed to in Chinese. I grabbed the ink brush and carefully wrote down what Shendu told me to while Hsi Wu and Bai kept a look out. It took me fifteen minutes to write what I needed to before I finished and I carefully placed the ripped page where it belonged.
"We have company" Bai Tsa said with a hiss.
I turned to see Jade standing alongside Uncle and Paco.
"Enya what are you doing?!" Jade demanded.
"What needs to be done kid" I replied.
"As much as I don't want to I have no choice but to fight you!" Jade shouted.
Immediately Bai Tsa and Hsi Wu hissed. Jade however managed to land a solid kick in Hsi's Wu's face which made the sky demon shout in protest. Bai Tsa' immediately pulled me away.
"Why is she protecting you?!" Jade demanded.
"Never mind her!" Uncle protested. "Hurry and fix the problem"
"Get away from that book!" Shendu shouted making Jade, Uncle, and Paco jump.
Bai Tsa slithered over to where Shendu arrived with her other siblings. My mate held an unconscious Jackie in his right claw. The other J-Team members were unconscious as well being held by Kumori, Dai Gui, and Tso Lon.
"Surrender your team has been neutralized" Shendu suggested to Jade.
"Big whoop" Jade said before she went to the Book of Ages.
"Bai help them" I told the water demoness.
"But Enya"
"They will need you I can take care of myself now"
"As you wish" the water demon hesitantly agreed before she released me. Jade then wrote in the Book of Ages and it glowed green. Then the green make shot out from the book and hit Jackie. Jackie went from being small to being large. This made my eyes go wide. Jackie got into a fighting position before Shendu turned around to storm towards Jade. Jackie then called Shendu's name and my mate turned out and he received a round house kick to his face. My mate landed on his back and I immediately rushed over to him while Jade quickly wrote in the book again. Green magic hit Tohru and he turned into a super hero which got Bai Tsa and Hsi Wu to do an anime fall while Dai Gui began to fight with Tohru.
Then Viper got zapped by green magic and she turned into Robo Viper. Viper held her laser out towards Kumori and the dragoness got zapped in her face. She shrieked and shook her head trying to find relief from her pain. Paco had enough and wrote in the book so he could turn El Toro into something cool. Shendu opened his eyes to see me next to him just as Jackie came upon him. Instinct made him push me away and the two foes began to fight. Hsi Wu suddenly shrieked and I saw him crash to the ground and Bai Tsa rushed over to him.
"What the hell?" I asked coming over to the injured demon siblings.
"I'm fine I just got zapped by that chick in the robot suit" Hsi Wu replied.
"You want to defeat the demons? Yes? Then write that Uncle banishes the demons already!" Uncle yelled.
"F**k" I swore as Jade and Paco looked to one another before they quickly wrote in the book again. Green magic hit Uncle and his outfit changed into banishment robes. He then began to chant and a green circle of magic hovered in front of him. Then a sword, gourd, lotus pod, flower, bow and arrow, and a flute each went to Viper, Jackie, El Toro, Tohru, Paco, and Jade. Jackie got the sword and said.
"Bad day for demons"
I gave Bai Tsa a quick hug along with pecking a kiss on Hsi Wu's cheek before I ran out of the way. Each of the banishment items glowed green and they hit each demon sorcerer. A demon portal opened above us and one by one each of the remaining demon sorcerers got sucked into it. Well all of them except for Shendu. Shendu used all of the strength he had within him to get over to me and he coiled his body around mine just as the magic from the spell from the page I wrote on activated. Soon all was quiet and the demon portal was gone.
"It is done" Shendu said.
He removed his body from mine and my eyes went wide to see that everyone was unconscious.
"Are they?"
"They are alright Little Fire now you must take the page from Jade" Shendu instructed. "When we return all will return as it was before all of this happened"
"And what about you?" I asked my mate looking to him.
"As soon as you reunite that page where it belongs I will be forced to my human form and I won't have my magic, the memories from these fools will be erased, I did this for us, for our children because I cannot bear to be separated from you and them"
I felt a few tears slide down my face and Shendu bent his face down and used his serpentine tongue to lick them away. I then went to Jade and took the page from her and went to the Book of Ages. I turned the pages until I found the right page. I then placed the page back where it belonged and the Book of Ages magic activated.
Later.
True to his word the memories of the others were erased alongside my mate gaining his human form. We spent a day and a half in Hong Kong before flying back to San Francisco. Even though he didn't have his magic I was glad Shendu gave up so much so he was able to be with me now. To Jackie and the others he was my fiancé named Ezra. It would take some time for Shendu to get used to being human but he didn't care as long as he was with me. At the moment I was watching a video of Abridged Weevil and Rex Raptor on YouTube while Shendu was finishing his shower. I tried hard not to laugh at the video because it was hilarious. Weevil and Rex were watching Silent Hill and their comments were funny.
"What is so funny Little Fire?" Shendu asked getting into bed next to me.
My mate's long black hair was still wet and I tried hard not to admire his muscular abs since he was shirtless. He only wore pajama pants which fit him perfectly.
"I was just passing time" I replied turning my flustered face back towards my Kindle.
"I saw the blush on your face Enya" Shendu purred.
My mate tried to sneak his hand under the night gown I wore and I smacked his hand away.
"Not tonight" I warned him with a growl.
"As you wish my love" my mate said before kissing my forehead. I placed my Kindle on the night stand and coiled my body next to his. My mate wrapped his muscular arms around me and I looked into his sapphire blue eyes.
"What about your powers?"
"For the time being we shall wait about the talismans" Shendu answered. "I don't want Chan and his family knowing I wasn't banished nor can they learn of the pregnancy"
My mate then gently leaned his head against my stomach which was still flat.
"I can sense our little ones" Shendu said.
"Can you hear heartbeats?" I asked.
"No if I were to guess you are only a month along" Shendu said. "I will find a physician that will able to monitor the pregnancy carefully"
"That's going to be hard" I said.
"Not if you look hard enough Little Fire" Shendu reassured me. My mate then kissed my forehead.
"It is late my love let us sleep"
Sure enough I felt my exhaustion come to me and I closed my eyes clutching my mate close to me. Shendu fell asleep not long after me and for now we wouldn't fret about what was to come in the future.
And that wraps up Season 2!
Stay tuned for Season 3.
