After eating all the food I purchased, I did get us some slushies, and coffee, Jackson does not do coffee, more for me! Two of everything, we talking about; BBQ Bacon cheeseburger rolls, Big bite hot dogs, Cheeseburgers, Chicken Sandwiches, Chicken strips, and here begins the list of things my mouth has never tasted Glazed cheesy bbq meatballs, Hot honey boneless wings, Mini Tacos, Nachos I did also get us 2 Cheese Pizzas and 2 pepperoni pizzas. It's best to stick to the classics I've been told. If we get hungry again we can dig into the leftovers because we did not finish everything and then ofcause there are the snacks Jackson has been hiding from me. “I would like to if you don’t mind, pick up where Sasha left off. Who are you? Or rather what are you?” Puffing out a breath of air….. hmmm I should have expected nothing less, there is a reason they are soulmates. “FINE! Since you are being so relentless, you can share with your mate or hit record on your phone cause I will not be

"What is happening now, Gabe? Do we wait for Scarlette to wake up and hope that it's your girlfriend?"Gabe looks at me with exasperation written all over his face. I can see I am testing his patience, but I do not care. At this point, Scarlette has grown on me and I do not wish any harm to fall upon her."No Jackson, if she wakes up by herself she will be your friend, not mine, nor ours. I will have to utter the words Mary taught me to awaken her soul and we will take it from there."Magic words? What in the hell have I gotten myself into? At that moment, Gabe gets on one knee and whispers to Scarlette:Foillsich naomhachd thu fein dhomh, guidheam ort. -“Holiness reveal yourself to me, I beseech you.” Scarlett's eyes glowed the brightest of gold. Jackson looks at me as if he is going to explode with questions. At that very moment, Scarlette reveals herself. SCARLETTE'S POV“Gabriel, it’s been too long. How are you, young one?” Bowing down, Gabe replies “I am very well holiness, how

After Gabriel was filled in on the entire mess my grandmother had decided to go retreat and pushed me forward and now we have to set up a game plan with Gabriel since he is the one Jackson felt would have all the answers to our problems."Okay Jackson, show me the magic of sharing my body with Granny Mcfee?" He laughs out loud but Gabriel looks upset and walks out of the room. "What happened while she was in control?" Jackson asks me, "Well I was sitting in the back seat while she was in the driver's seat, I knew everything that happened, we had a brief conversation with each other, the moment that she laughed out loud."He nod's his head, that is exactly how it happens when you share the body, from there on it is a game of control or rather a strength, but remember if you are fighting for control of the body both of you could lose if there is no love or balance between the two of you, the human body is very fragile." I tilt my head in thought, in that moment the inhabiter answers in

"She must be a Nishruus, I cannot think of any other creature, that is all that my books have." States Gabriel before Jackson allows his emotions to get the best of him, I follow his lead by adding. "But is she working for herself or on behalf of someone else?" Jackson is the one to answer this time "They are usually controlled by a mage" It is my other half who chimes in, but leaves it up to me to share with the class..." Most Nishruus that I have met are unwilling to do the bidding of a mage. Since it has caused most of them to go extinct." The boys by now catch on that little Scarlette could not have access to such knowledge since I was thrown into the deep end literally days ago! "Hmmm, I have not met any mages in New Orleans only witches but then again Mages have gone into hiding since the witch-hunting times, sorry Jackson, but the werewolves were used to scent out the mages which was a bit harder to do with witches since they use the elements instead of tapping into hell for it

Gabriel packs a backpack full of books for me to study our problem at hand on our two-hour journey back to the French Qaurter. Since we still have left over and snacks we won't have to make any pit stops on our way back. I wonder if my UK license would work in the USA I will have to ask Gabriel about that later since his old as dust he should know the answer, I mean we should take turns driving right?About 40 minutes into the driver Jackson and Gabriel switch seats so that Jackson can drive, he seems calmer now."Do you guys think my UK License would work in the States?"As predicted Gabriel answers, no reason it shouldn't it is a full license yeah?" I at him "Obviously Gabe, I dinnae ken one could operate a vehicle with a license that is cut in half now ken ya?" They both break out with laughter.As soon as their laughter dies down Gabriel's phone rings. "Yes," He chose to answer on the loudspeaker "Philip has not checked-in in three days." Gabriel's fist clenches "When did you notic

As we open the door we hear a commotion inside, Gabriel has to use human speed to get behind the bar to pull some brunette with curled hair off Lydia whose face we witnessed her bashing into the counter then pulling her backward and punching her square in the face, poor Lydia isn't even fighting back she is just taking the punches and screaming. Gabriel rushes to pull the woman off Lydia and I rush to Lydia to help her with her injuries but she is so traumatized that she screams louder when I touch her after she was thrown on the floor like a rag doll. "Hey darling, it's me, it's me Scarlette, please let me help you, lass." At the sound of my voice, she calms down and starts to weep like a baby and holds on to me for dear life "Who the fuck are you?!" The girl being held around the throat one arm bent behind her back and her body against Gabes, something inside of me does not like the picture I see before me and I think Gabriel knows it because he smirks when my eyes narrow at the bi

After Gabriel's announcement, it was understood that all will assist in finding the mage, we informed Jackson that all the vampires are at our disposal, and if there is anything Sasha can tell us it would be helpful he informed us that they will be by tomorrow. I advised Jedreel he can stay or go back to our dimension since he is my second wherever there is he needs to ensure things run smoothly while I am on Earth. He said he needs to go but will he is at my disposal whenever I want or need and then disappeared into thin air. "To answer the question you asked before we walked into this mess, I live in the apartment across from yours. Now that I have met you I don't think it was a coincidence that you rented that one. Matter-o-fact, I think Mary had something to do with it." I look at him knowing full well that, that could very well have been what happened because it is her that are having the dreams or is it me? It is you who are dreaming Scarlette she says in my head, I am just h

"Where is Lydia?" I ask interrupting the scolding that Markus was getting. "I laid her on the counter top." And now it's me who Narrows my eyes "From the floor to the counter top? You reckon because you are a preditor she doesn't deserve comfort? Or do you feel that since she is the reason Philip is missing she gets what she gets?" Markus backs away from me, the memory of my shift and Phoebie dangling in the air clearly still clear in his head. He shakes his head from left to right, "I didn't know what to do with her." I turn to Gab smiling sarcastically "Do you not have a sick bay for staff who are not allowed to go home when they feel unwell?" he looks at his shoes, "I have always only employed supernaturals at the Swig and Swine." I shake my head at the both of them, "Where does Lydia live Gabriel, this should have been on her CV if I am not mistaken." He takes his macbook out from one of the locked draws in his desk, unlocks it and then goes to his employ
