"This is dumb seriously theres about 11 of us, if not 10 if your counting Kaliya who is just dead weight" This was cindy gryping and I clenched my fist from punching her for thoriwng my barely alive sister under the bus and said "My sister has a pint of blood in her veins if theres a chance shes gonna come back alive IM not risking burying her in this hellhole I want my family back together" and Neomi nodded. "As a member of hellion I can get a vision of the future in which I dont see her, but also her heart is slightly still beating shes not all dead, but shhes really close you did a masive amount of damage on this girl what did you do and have you tried your internal meeting?" and Inodded. "That was the first thing I tried when my back was against the wall, but with both my brother and sister comatose I"ll only see my own situation" and sighed and ryan clapsed a hand on my shoulder and said. "Have faith Selena sometimes in the bleakest of moments the best thing you can do is take one step after the other, close your eyes" and I did I saw only black and then he said "what can you see?" and I said "nothing but I know what I mist do" and he nodded and I felt something wet and fleshy touching my lips and it moved slightly and I was shocked because I opened then and when I did open my eyes I was looking at the door to the train open and we all got up and entered into it, touching my lips did..Did Ryan kiss me? I couldnt tell my eyes were closed and when I opened them he hadnt moved, and we were on the train
And I sighed "What is the plan for this?" I asked and Neomi sighed "We're going into the tombs to find Caleb just like we planned why?" and I scowled slightly. "Why would it be that easily?" and Neomi said "because we're the seven deadly sins, and Neomi is the demon judger according to the others around we belong here and we control here it shouldnt be hard, now relax and focus on yout sister" and I nodded scowling slightly and let Kali down, her body still comatose as I tried to wake her which I hoped would do better
In the moments that I tried and failed to wake up Kali, VIsons were passing before my eyes
she has a powerful demeanor finally I step forward to her and I thank her for the music and she offers me 17 euros, And I bow to her and she goes back to pick up her guitar. I have nothing to lose a friend to gain so I ask "uhh so I'm new and want to grab a bite I"m.." I stop because the girl is very put offish so I take that as a no and drop my head, though surprisingly she throws a helmet at me. "Well, what's keeping you? if you are treating me I can't say no '' I can't stop smiling and we head to a nearby ice cream shop and we start talking. I find out her name is Selena, and she's the daughter of the NIght family, she's rich but she plays music for fun and does art for interest. I nod over a cone and she asks me my story. What was I supposed to say? I'm a trafficked refugee from the other side of the world? "I'm Kaliya, I'm 17, I like to read, write, and do sign language, I'm also an avid singer," She notices me and asks me how far from where I live and I can't keep myself from tearing up. Suddenly a group of Carabinieri police forces shows up, unaware that I broke from the Trieste 'Evading arrest are we?" my head flies so fast at her that my neck cracks "No not I'm just" Selena chuckles and her laugh is beautiful, then again now that I notice everything about her is beautiful. "I was joking either that or you have the hots for cops and handcuffs" "I look down because she doesn't know how close to the truth she was, I'm fearful of cops right now. I get up and head to the bathroom unwilling to have her hear me cry. But before I can I look at the TVs that are displaying me, and I'm shocked at how quickly it's revealed. Selena looked at me, not too shocked, or not showing it. "Alright come on" She grabs me and pulls me to the back just the cops from the front are following me, this isn't my doing something was up about Selena I need to be careful who I call friends. Finally, she pushes me out the back of the restaurant and drops into a bush, hiding outside the restaurant and the cops just look around, where did they go? That's the question. Meanwhile, I'm now trying to get her to let me go. "Ok ok, I'll tell you, get off of me" I yank my arm and pull her into me and this surprises her as she falls on top of me. "You're strong for a little one" I sigh and get up and tell her my real story, unsure if she's not gonna believe me, I show her my book and the stories I know and she's doing math in her head. "That would make you over 1000 years old. You only look 13, I'm only 15" and then I scowl. "I am over 1000, years old, my host is only 13...I'm a kitsune" Selena wasn't one to listen to fairy tales, finally, she spoke. "If you are a host then you can shift into..a fox? Prove it I'll believe it then but right now I can only see what I can see a little girl running from the police if you can prove to me your story exists I'll see what I can do if not we cut ties here" I'm shocked mainly because this girl is smart but cruel, if anything goes wrong she'll feed me to the m military dogs. Looks like she doesn't give me much room for error." but I can't do it here, I strip in fox form" Selena widens her eyes and crosses her arms. "Come with me, my brother Ciaran are the only ones at the house at the moment, you can reveal yourself there" I scowl back shes gonna take me home to strip that scenario sounds familiar and an image Appears before my eyes "What is your name, little one? Are you hungry? You seem scared and cold let's get you out of those wet clothes" I looked around the house, it was hot out, and yet the water made me shiver and my voice jumped in pitch as I sneezed. I didn't want to get sick so I went along with her. She takes me into another room, her room looked, and asks me to take off my clothes. At first, I was hesitant. I don't think it's wise so I tell her "You don't know me, why I should bear my body to strangers?" I ask a little bashful. I snap back and I question where that memory came from, it wasn't mine, but I'll answer that after I get this challenge out of the way. I nod and She walks me heading to her house. The walk was pretty remedial, especially considering I haven't talked to anyone for what appears to be the last 3 days, I thought I was going mute. In the end, we get to a massive house in the foliage, and as I enter the house, I hear voices, "Ciaran I brought someone" I blush like I'm dating her, and soon an older male with burgundy hair leaves the room and walks over to the banister. "Sister Luv why did you bring a street urchin here mom and Dad don't want you leaving for that reason you always bring guests home" I look down, majorly embarrassed, I'm about to cry. "I'm leaving I won't take that" As I turn away and head out the door I suddenly feel someone on my back wrapping their arms around my throat and soon, once again my world goes black... It's in the blackness I see my host, she is my host a smile is on her face and she's looking at me, I'm in my full form, I'm a 4'5 footed fox with Egyptian clothes on and this girl is a scarlet haired girl the mix is uncanny and I understand what she's asking; aren't you tired of running? I am but I have no choice, every chance I get I'm forced into running from someone or something, and then I realize that this girl took me in and I have to prove exactly what I am and what. She'll take me in? Questionable, from my dreams I hear voices. "You brought a strange girl here for what? We don't have the luxury of bringing random people here she may rob us or attack us" Selena wiped my brow and looked at him. "She claims to be a kitsune, a supernaturalist it's what Mom and Dad are looking for" "They all doo Selena every street in this city has a con" I lean up and they look at me. I sigh, and I get up, and I'm calm and look at them both. "If I prove to you what I am you have to protect me, I've told Selena, was it? That my family was killed in the Italian camp, I'm alone, I have nothing to lose so what I shall show you is on purpose and for real...deal" Selena nods but Ciaran crosses his arms. "Better be good let's see this" I sigh and take a deep breath and feel myself stretch, I stretch my arms, my neck, my chest, I let my energy flow outwards like I've been holding in and as I let go I feel my aura flow out and with black ears, and even my tail flows out and finally, I open my eyes and my full form the form of my real self matching my host's wavelength is finished and I look at them through cerulean eyes, and the target is pretty shocked. "Wow..um" "Can you go back?" they both seemed interested and I glared at them. "We had a deal? I get to stay at least for the time being" Selena came forward and patted me on the back and I braced for the worst. "Well I hold to my word, I say you can but you have two more blocks, my older brother is one" Ciaran looked at her and followed around and fondled and experimented on her, questioning her realness Finally he scoffed and looked at her. "You're an honorary child the night until Mom and Dad say different, then we review, but your eyes will be an issue. I nod and as I shift back I add a little detail and when they look into their own eyes, they see amazement, it was at that moment that my voice rings true and I said the most uplifting thing possible for me to hear that they understood all too well. this is maybe my story's ending but it's our beginning, the story of the Children of Night has just begun…
It wasnt entirely that I didnt have womans intuition, but when I got the news that Ciaran was in bad shape, I decided to throw everything to the wind as they say Let me say I was….entertained by the very little string Judas and the church, and the Alpha wolves gave me, but once my mind sets on my brother, the word helpless does no touch my lips, or my mind if youve said or heard halth no fury, then you know a womans scorn, but only slightly worst is the fury of a sister who loves his brother, and no one gave me the option to backed down because I wasnt going to give it, once I was in the air, me and Arshin discussed the the plan, and thats when it too went to the wind when my little baby sister Kali was found with out much difficulty on my part. When I found myself in that place directly on the spot I got the mental connection from Sarah after talking with her for some time and thats when I found my sister in worst shape that I thought when She was in all edges of life and death, Kaliya was in between sick, and flu and major amounts of pain, in between the valley of shadows, the ocean of shadows, she couldnt yell only whimper and wince and cry slightly, I was sitting over her in the company of my sister and law and watched over My real Sister, thats when I heard "Selena… what would I told her…I was …killed? What would she say… if I told her… I had the affair…. Melody what would Selena…say if she knew what Ive done.." Thats when I smiled, touched and climbed into the bed with her despite the the disapproval and hesitancy and I said "Why dont you ask her?" and thats when I know she heard my voice it was so real so dark, so elegant Thats when I wrapped my arms around her my baby sister so her head was on my chest and I had my very quiet heartbeat and I saw her eyes open and she looked up at me and her eyes widened whe she saw I was holding her, embracing her and she cried out in love and surprise and shock and disbelief "Sister.." was all she could say with her voice rattled and she cried into my shoulder I looked up at Sarah and the other"
"Kali, me and Sarah are going to head back inside for a second we'll be discussing matters more on this and we'll come out and discuss how we should all work with it" I said with calm authority I know there was more importance I had to deal with like my sisters wellbeing and Falan nodded took the paper, and looked at it. "I think a lot has come about in the past few hours I think some...shed eye will be good, it's getting late tomorrow we'll discuss plans" I nodded so did we all entered into the room sarah and I could tell she was upset by something, and it wasn't in Kali's face it was in her body language. Finally, Kaliya spoke in anger. With her hands at her side, eyes closed and the anger she felt was about to explode, I felt so bad for her such a loving heart was dealing with rage at herself and afew other sources . As soon as we sat back, I was by her side making sure she was sitting right, she winced and clenched her fist and finally we heard sarah speak. "Babe what's wrong?" and she growled and whined, and wiped her eyes, Finally she looked at us both and stood up, leaning against the bedside table. "How can you be by my side? I lied to you, and I made this whole situation worse by hiding secrets, my heart... hurts so much because I kept you in the dark...Sarah..Selena and I..." she just burst into tears and started to cry, and not little drips she let go, and I felt for her as I just let her cry out of frustration,Ive been there sometimes you just need to cry after miss burnstein was killed, after I killed abel after so much danger passed I cried out of sadness, out of anger, out of being strong for so long, kind of mirroring what Kali was feeling now..its never a feeling you want to have alone, thats when I stepped forward and Sarah just sat with her and Sarah spoke. "Babe..are you crying for us? Or for yourself? I told you that what you were holding was only going to cause you more tears, and look at you broken and beaten..." That's when I stepped close her sighed in sadness. "Kaliya... you've forgotten us. You've forgotten your brother, Ciaran, you've forgotten me, your oldest sister, you've forgotten your family..." and I wiped my eyes for a second on my sleeve and winced. She sighed and shook her head at me at us "N-No what do you mean I've forgotten you? Never Selena, Ciaran, you and Sarah are my heart and soul" That is when I spoke. "You have forgotten who you are, and so forgotten us, our teachings, in the confusion of doing the right thing, in the confusion of love for those around you, and fear of death itself you know this Kaliya Amber Night, remember who you are you are not just a fox demon from Egypt like HE says you are A NIGHT, not by blood, but by teaching and that makes you as close to us as any blood...the saying blood is thicker than water you remember the saying Kali? The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb." The saying means that chosen bonds are more significant than the bonds with family or "water of the womb." More directly, it means that relationships you make yourself are far more important than the ones that you don't choose, Kali the lessons we taught you are the reason we call you a night, remember those teachings, when on the battlefield, when with Sarah, with me, when in love when in fear.." I nodded and leaned in and kissed her on the cheek and she just kept weeping, and I looked at her and after abit of time she said; "I'm broken... there's too much wear on me. The visions, the fight the damage, the love the hate, the fight this war" "is not yours to bear Kali please love stop crying we're not mad, I'm personally upset that you held this a secret from me but as much as the fact that you had to hold this from yourself..let me ask you...in a situation where you not holding onto the safety of melody...would you have told me?" and she nodded, and sniffed. "Babe in a heartbeat, there's no reason I would hold secrets from you that I didn't hide from good intentions. I thought she would be harmed..I still think she will be harmed by them even if it's Willow's cousin" I nodded. "Remember..who you are..who we are the Nights are vampires, Sorcerers, and demons, remember who you are...never forget Kali, you never alone"
Suddenly I was gilted awake and it hadnt occurred to me that I had fallen asleep, listening to my own heartbroken memories and I once again looked at Kali who hadnt stirred she just look like she was sleeping, I sighed miserable and looked into the eyes of dante and virgil who was waiting on the train while the other seven deadly sins were quiet clearly meditating like I was. As we're going through city of dis and Dante and virgil said "and so the prison of heretics draws near dear selena" and I got up looked downside it was a building alarge building like a formatted like a circle with a gate around it fire all around it. I sighed and got off the train with Kali on my back and my other 10 technically 11 passengers and I started towards the door and Neomi stopped the other members and said "me and Selena will go alone you six make yourself scarce" And Ryan and the others nodded and me and Kali turned away from them and walked into the building of and it was immediately like my visoni the place was so hot it as like fire to me the cages were red hot andt it was like a sauna in here Neomi walked with an imp and said "your waiting for a specific heretic I assume heretic number 325 also known as the prodigal son huh?" and I nodded and Neomi nodded so we passed through rows and rows od demons torturing souls, including slitting throats, I heard this in my dream thats when I asked. "Who is the one selling these souls?" nad Neomi kocked her head to the side and the tiny imp said "A shadow by the name of Aleister Crowley, who is in league with Abbaddon who grabs live souls" and I nodded so thats how things spin I took a breath and we by no run into several until we got to 325 E and when I opened up the door it was empty what the hell?" I aksed the others windeend their eyes. "Where is he? Settle the alarms we have a missing prisoner, I'll be back find your ways out" and I shook my head "what would I do in this world? Huh?" I turned into the direction of Neomi and suddenly I felt someone hit me in the face and and shove me into the corner of my brother' cell and said "IM sorry Selena but you need a lesson for juming in the middle of peoples business and at least this why the real winners happen, farewell Sister of mercy Ciarran will be on our sides and we'll make contact eventually I got up and ran to the celldoor and grabbed and it and it burned me and my eyes widened. "I got burned, oh my god Im not the chosen one after all now I dont know what I can do…IM trapped what could be worst?" I asked well this is great so my dream comes true after all at least Im not chained thats when it did because I heard loud thumping and I sensned Kali's aura flowing out and I knew it SHE HAD AWOKEN.
