In the stairwell they exchanged clothes again. Aurelia grabbed her cap and bag and this time she went first. "You will follow me in five seconds!" She hissed at him as she left the stairwell. Before she turned around the wall in front of it, she put on her most charming smile and now headed for the two security guards again. The dark-haired man recognized her immediately and showed his suggestive grin from earlier.
She stopped at the counter, pulled herself up a little and leaned her upper body far over the reflective marble surface. She put her elbow up, raised her hand and curled her index finger a few times so that the dark-haired man leaned over to her. So he did, although he looked rather perplexed. His colleague watched the situation spellbound. She bridged the small space between their heads with one jump and pressed a quick kiss on the cheek, but suspiciously close to the right corner of his mouth. Aiden used the surprise of the two guards to sneak past Aurelia's back
On the last spin of her dance, she had reached what she thought was the Elevender. She didn't know what powers he had, so it was wiser not to wait for him to use them in the first place. She pulled the machete from her back. The heavy weapon now acted as a deadly extension of her arm and with the next turn she felt the resistance of flesh on the blade, but she drove it on until it swung freely through the air again. Drunk with her frenzy, she watched in slow motion as the man collapsed with a gasp, but she had no time to end his suffering. Because her intuition signaled a good opportunity. Three men approached her from behind, one was the second Elevender. As soon as she started walking, she was happy that the three of them were standing so foolishly close to each other that it would be an easy game!She took two steps before she reached the wall, used the momentum to take another up it, then pushed backwards with all her strength. She arched her back in order to have a bette
Under a bridge a few kilometers further they stopped and waited, so far they had been spared from pursuers. This was their meeting point, where Aiden and Viktor were supposed to pick them up. Her footsteps echoed under the stone vault, but Aurelia could still hear the distant sound of the engine of a car. Finally he came to a stop directly above them, tires screeching. They left their cover, struggled up the small slope, and escaped into the interior of a small old Renault Clio.Viktor lurched the cart sped up and pressed the gas pedal to get it out of town as quickly as possible, it would soon be blocked off with roadblocks. He took a hidden dirt road directly through the Grunewald and only used regular roads again in Potsdam.Row was on Aiden's lap in the passenger seat. He mumbled to Viktor: "Damn, I can't believe this daredevil shit worked!" Then he cradled Row in his arms and talked quietly to her. This looked torn and worn, but now it radiated a burgeoning calm.
They drove all night. They all wanted as far away as possible. Viktor made a wide bend around Berlin and steered the car further north-east. Since the United States of Europe was founded in the 2020s, there have been no national borders within Europe, so it has moved forward quickly and without stopping. Since they could not trust either the council or its allies at the moment, they had to rely on personal clusters.Viktor, who was born in Konigsberg in 1695, had made and fostered many useful friendships over the centuries. The first thing that occurred to us was a friend from his youth who, with his wife and children, had withdrawn from the political events around the Elevender at the end of the 18th century. He had previously been a council member of the Legion, and when he retired from active service because of his mate, his counterpart, Viktor had recommended Markus as his successor. Ezekiel would certainly not have considered the young, cold, opaque man on his own
“Christ, what do my eyes see here on this clear September morning? Viktor? I can't believe you're here! ”And now the voice cracked with unmistakable joy. “Old friend, come in!” He continued without hesitation and there was a loud hum, whereupon the heavy gate began to part in the middle. The small gap widened quickly as the wings slowly swung open.Until they stopped in front of the entrance of the majestic three-story building, Aurelia silently admired the many battlements and turrets that made the house look more like a small medieval castle than a single-family home. There was a strange mixture of old and new, as the window and door frames glistened metallic and the lighting looked extremely modern.Aurelia herself had never seen Ezekiel face to face, but she knew him from many stories from Viktor, but also from other older residents of the bunker. Everyone described him as a rock solid, indestructible, controlled and intelligent. Unlik
She raised her hand, carefully traced a broad line on his chest with her fingers, and was shocked at the brute force that spoke from the traces of his torment. The monster inside of her howled desperately, urging everyone to find who had done this to him and to execute them in the most terrible way. To organize a carnage that would frighten their other enemies, so that they would understand that Pareios was taboo to them, or otherwise they would bitterly regret it.She felt how he shuddered at her touch. He had bowed his head and closed his eyes. For no cost in the world would he let her see the full effects of that night. He exuded calm control as she noticed his skin getting hotter and hotter under her fingers. It literally ignited in the ice-cold water and soon the air around him began to steam. Her eyes went up his neck and finally caught his face.He had opened his eyes now and found hers to look at hungrily. The fireflies in the summer twilight shone with full fo
Still nothing came and she didn't really want to pull it out, this last trump card, but it was the only one he had left her. "Honesty ...?" She uttered even more quietly and noticed even with surprise that it sounded almost pleading.Again his eyes sought hers. The risen sun shone sideways in his face and illuminates his right iris in all the colors that were inherent in it. Now the blue shone more than the gray and the fireflies looked more like bits of fiery coal. His long, dark eyelashes cast a shadow over the not too short but narrow nose."I met her when I was 15, it was the year 1737 ..." Pareios closed his eyes, as if trying to visualize old memories. “My powers had just started to show. At the time we were living in a legion base near Königsberg. Back then the world was still different, we weren't as many as today and the Hegeduns ruled more openly and cruelly. They gave themselves princely names to justify their rule and subjugated the people as wel
God, how good he felt on her, as if she had thirsted her whole life just for this moment, for his presence. And she wanted him, she needed him so badly that she was afraid she would burst. Then he pushed his hips between her legs and she felt his erection pressed against her thigh. In no time he had quickly slipped a bra strap over her shoulder and the dark nipple now gleamed exposed in the morning sun before his lips closed around it. She let her eyelids fall and let himself be charmed by his mouth. Her thoughts broke away from her and fled into wonderful daydreams. That deep feeling of affection condensed into the certainty that she felt more than that for him, she wanted him all, all to herself. At that moment Pareios tried to slowly slide the slip down when a memory ran through her like a corrosive stream of acid.It flooded her mind and heart as Aurelia watched helplessly as she felt an incredible disgust. Almost like a panic attack, she seized her throat and squeezed, t
She had finally realized what the problem might be and was now ready to take on Pareios as she had glimpsed a possibly possible, wonderful future. She did not intend to do without it. The only question was whether Pareios was still on the train or had jumped off again.At the moment she wasn't particularly keen to find out. Talking to him would have meant explaining, spreading her whole shitty past like a carpet in front of him. Except that it wasn't an elegant, velvety red runner, but rather a black and gray, dirt-encrusted doormat. The thought of how he would react made her feel cold and shudder.Somebody cleared their throat behind her.Almost scared to death, Aurelia winced and spun around. Her heart skipped a beat and she involuntarily held her breath. Her eyes searched the kitchen in frantic movements, sliding over empty furniture and into dark corners, but there was not a soul in the room except her. The hairs on her forearm straightened as
