View MoreJames's POV (Continued)When I turned twenty and I learned about the existence of shadow magic and our family's role in the Order, I resolved to be the best damn Shadow there ever was. At least then father would be proud of me and then he'd have to acknowledge me. Thanks to father retiring quite early, Beaumont became the new master of the House. Okay, a little education.The Order was essentially the magic police. We maintained law and order between the humans and the supernatural community. Put together witches, undead beings and some idiots that can into four legged animals and you have a lot of testosterone -don't matter if they're male or female, the quest to dominate all is the same- and that's where we come in. The our own brand of force -thats the shadow magic we have- and human technology, we have been able to keep everyone in line and dealt judiciously with those who haven't. What's a great organization
James's POV My earliest memory from childhood was when my ball got stuck in the tree. It was an ordinary day, just like any other. I was about four or five? The details of such a young age is quite foggy, but I remember wanting that ball so bad. I don't think it was my birthday or even remember where I'd gotten the ball from. I just knew I wanted it and it was stuck so far away, and there was no one around, not even my parents. It would be years later until I realized that my parents' absence wasn't because of work or any problems but simply choice. Anyways, I started crying profusely. My nanny -one of many over the following years- came and she tried to console me. I pointed to the ball up in the tree. "Oh, it's so high up. How about I just get you another one?" She had answered in dismissive tone. She carried me away from the tree and back to our house, ignoring my cries. I didn't like being in the house. It was always just me wit
At midnight, just as instructed, I walked into a deserted warehouse. How Blade knew all of these places I didn't know existed in a town I grew up in, I would never understand.I was too anxious to sit still and wait for him. I roamed around the warehouse before finding a streetlight and leaned against it.There was a flash of black and then Blade was standing in front of me."Here." He said without preamble.No hey, how you doing. Nothing. I doubted the man knew how to have a proper conversation with anyone."And this is?" I opened the black purse to reveal three vials of grayish liquid."Tyier." He stated simply. Getting answers from Blade could be likened to pulling teeth."I have no freaking idea what a Tyier is.""It's made of Eitr,but diluted.""I thought we agreed not to kill my uncle." I muttered."I made no such agreement with you. I relayed your concerns to my master and he informed the Three. They agree with you." I breathe
MILESDude was so weird. Any reasonable person would have sent an actual address.I entered the coordinates into my phone and turned on the gps location. I drove for some minutes before the blue indicator stopped moving. That meant I'd gotten to my location. My location turned out to be a heavily wooded area with paved roads big enough for two people to walk through at once. This would be a perfect spot for a run or cycling.I made a mental note to drag Kyle out here in the nearest future.I huffed as I felt my mood going sour.I wasn't certain that I would have much of a future. I couldn't renege on the case after I'd come so far. To refuse to complete a mission after accepting it meant death.I couldn't kill James either. Regardless of what James had done, he was still family.My passenger door opened and Blade fitted his large body into it. I hadn't seen or heard any movement.That was Blade though. You would never see or he
Miles.I was a distracted mess when Kyle finally showed up several minutes later. I'd managed to hide the evidence in my gym bag but I hadn't done much else. Kyle was full of apologies for making me wait. I waved him off. It wasn't out of the realm of possibility that Blade had delayed him so he could shatter whatever illusions about my uncle that I haboured"Miles? You okay?"Kyle murmured,his forehead creasing in concern."Nothing dude. I'm fine." Everything's just dandy."Ok. Now I know something's wrong." Kyle grated out,dropping his dumbbells on the floor carelessly. I was startled at the sound the dumbbells made. I looked up to find myself on the end of Kyle's glare.He pointed at me accusingly. "You are hiding something from me. Spill it. Now" How the heck was I supposed to tell him that I'd been ordered to kill my uncle? I couldn't even tell Dad. Oh shit. Dad. I couldn't go to Dad. Three of his closest friends had died in the
