The silence around me was deafening, I had never planned to reveal the other things I was capable of and as I slowly turn around to look at them, everyone was on their knees, their heads bowed except for Christian who was glaring at me.
He storms towards me “What the fuck was that Ash?”
“Rudina”
“What?”
“I have told you my name is not Ash, it is Rudina and that is one of my gifts”
“You can control fire?”
“Yes”
“What else can you do?”
“Nothing”
It was a complete and utter lie but I didn’t want to tell him everything about me, there was still so much he didn’t know and for now it was better that he didn’t. As we spoke, others rushed into the house but there was no sign of Breydon, he disappeared as soon as he saw what I was truly capable of.
“Rudina?” Daryls blue eyes were searching my face.
It was a little unnerving and I felt completely overwhelmed at how my words had such an impact on these people but I had to stay strong. People were dead, whether they were vampires or wolves they were still dead and it was all because of me and who I was.“Breydon is dead. He is not your leader. I am!”I got straight to the point, there was no point messing around anymore and I had to do the right thing and take control, a lot of things were about to change.I order everyone to clear the ground, they could no longer refuse me even if they wanted too.Christian disappears and I assume that he has gone to find his dead fiancé, he didn’t say a word and I let him go, he needed this.I stand my ground and watch as the others move around clearing the bodies. Daryl helps but regularly glances at me as the guards from before circle me ensuring no one could get close to me.As they finish tidying I tell them that they have t
I don’t say anything other than talking about how I was surprised when Rudy spoke to me“It’s weird right?! I am his mother and I think it’s weird”“Mqybe it is a hybrid thing?” I throw out the suggestion but honestly I didn’t know and when I look over at the playpen, the two girls are asleep but Rudy is laid on his front, watching us, it was a little unsettling. That’s a lie, it was just creepy.“Lucian just doesn’t believe me”“I am assuming Rudy hasn’t spoken to him then”She shakes her head at me, “He let’s me know when he or his sisters are hungry”“Well at least they are not screaming at you”. I try to make a joke out of the situation but Tasha glares at me “At least you are not going insane Tasha”“That is true. Lucian will believe you if you tell him”A guard opens the door and
Being with Daryl was different than before, he was like a new man but with all the memories of our past, he was sweet and tender with me and as we laid together on the grass, he didn’t even try to have sex with me, he just liked to watch me and listen as I spoke.He was mostly curious how I managed so well with humans because he couldn’t stand it but there was a difference, I had grown up practically human without knowledge of Reaper whilst he had been a wolf all his life“Is your hybrid the same as your wolf?”He shakes his head with a smile “No, my hybrids name is Lycan”“But your name?”“I know, strange how these things happen”“Daryl do you still believe in the Moon Goddess?”“To be honest, I don’t know, I did once but now I am not so sure. I am assuming by your question that you don’t think she does”Shrugging, I rest my head on
For those of you that have got this far, thank you. I truly appreciate it and am so thankful for all of you who comment and leave reviews, it really inspires me to keep going. I am unfortunately away for a few days (Family emergency) which means I cannot edit or post for a couple of days, hence doing bigger uploads the last couple of days. I should be back by Sunday and will be uploading daily again. For those of you that are trying to figure out what has happened in the last chapter, it will all come to light in Part two and I just want to say that those of you who have remembered specific features of hybrids, well done! All will be revealed soon Taylor West
“Rudina”“Hmm”“You fell asleep, are you okay?” Daryl continues tracing the sponge over my skin as my eyelids shoot open. Had it been a dream? I could here the worry in his voice, had I been talking in my sleep?“Yeah, just tired. I think I am going to have a lie down”I climb from the bath and grab a towel, the dream seemed so realistic, I had even felt every emotion as I plunged that stake into Christians chest. Yet Daryl was still with me, alive and breathing. I didn’t understand what it meant and shout to Daryl that I am getting a drink.Heading down the hallway and into the kitchen I find my mother’s white spirit waiting, she holds a finger to her lips and looks at the door behind me and I quietly shut it.“Did you see it child?”“See what?“The vision I was able to give you. It wasn’t as much as I would like but hopefully it was enou
He coughs, spluttering up blood as I mind link Daryl to bring some clothes for the man catching his breath.Daryl does as I ask and then disappears back into my home whilst I watch over Christian. Throwing the clothes at him he quickly gets dressed but stays down on the ground avoiding eye contact but I didn’t need his eye contact, I finally had figured out how to listen to his thoughts.He was mad, confused and talking to his hybrid about trying a new way of getting me, another way of murdering Daryl. Recognising the silence he finally looks up at me to find me staring at him, my head tilted to the side as Reaper and I listened to the things he was thinking.That darkness that I had felt, it was different this time and it wasn’t Reaper, it was natural like it was who I was supposed to be only I was finally letting it out rather than confining it.“What’s happening?” Christians words come out in a whisper as he observes me an
How the fuck was that even possible, how had I lost two years of my life?Daryl tells everyone to leave and that the meeting would resume shortly, everyone reluctantly exits except Daryl and the triplets“What the hell is going on? Two years, I have lost two years”Mia bites her lip and the triplets glance at each other“You don’t remember?”“Remember what?” I was so close to losing my shit that I snap at Daryl.He explains to me about the day I tried to reason with Christian, how I had ordered Daryl back to the house but he watched helplessly as Christian knocked me to the ground and bit me. Apparently ordering him to the house meant just that, he couldn’t leave even if he wanted too, it was only that I called out to him in my mind that he was able to come to my aid.“We have been fighting with the wolfsbane in your system for just over two years. Whatever wolfsbane Christian used
Daryl puts me in the secret room through the wardrobe and drops me on the bed“You will be safe here”I had no idea that Daryl knew about the secret passageways in the house, I am guessing Tasha told him but Christian knew about them as well so I wasn’t exactly hidden but I know longer cared about my safety.Stretching out on the bed, it was nice to finally be able to move and yet every inch of me ached“I will be back as soon as I can” he leans over and kisses me on the forehead and I wondered how many times he had done that when I was out of itI don’t try to stop him from leaving, I know there is no point, he would go because he was fighting for me, fighting for something that he truly believed in.In a way it was funny how Christian and Daryl’s roles had switched like I had woken up in some kind of alternate reality.Breaking his own curse had released the man trapped inside of him whilst
