Rolo and Dean carefully studied the tome. It seemed to be the writings of a mad man. The experiments written in painful detail would make most people would have their hair turn white from the terror. He did not write his notes as to what happened to people but ask what happened to objects. But these had been living breathing beings. He had not even bothered to name his victims. Though he painstakingly detailed their physical form and how he ‘improved’ upon it.
Whether it had been changing limbs, losing ‘a stubborn personality’ or adding something to ‘fortify’ their blood.&nb
Juliette realized this wasn’t just some rich asshole in front of her with an air of entitlement. He was a man and a leader. It was clear that he had a lot to be responsible for around here and he took pride in providing for the people who worked for him. It was weird to call employees pack members. But who was she to tell him it was weird. But then again she could be looking at it all wrong. She had seen human beings turning into animals and ripping each other apart. If he claimed it wasn’t safe to wander alone then she wasn’t going to be an idiot and wander around. Hell if she stumbled into a dark corner where a hungry and injured vampire was. Yeah in her head she knew that was such a stupid thing to do.
Gregory texted his father and agreed to meet him in the laundry room as he didn’t want to drag the stink and gore through the packhouse. He’d decided what he was wearing in the way of clothing would be burned. It was beyond redemption or repair. He may not have been injured but he had done a lot of injuring on that field and in the tunnels. The poor people that they had saved must have been confused and must have had a hard time figuring out who was a friend and who was a foe. He used the washtubs to try and clean himself as best as he could while he waited for his father to bring clothing down to him. He’d been glad he di
The house sat on the derelict outside of a ghost town that had long been in this state. The buildings should have been picked clean by now. The locals knew better than to go anywhere near the old mining town or the mines. It made a perfect place to whole up for a while. He could continue his work deep in the old mines. Much would be hidden down there from the sight of strangers within the tunnels of the mines. Hannibal was proud of the fact that he had found this place so close to the mines. It was comfortably fu
There was a small group of people trickling into the packhouse. All were there for the meeting that would soon take place. People were preparing for the conference, while others circulated among each other. They talked about various things, including what had happened the night before. A general hum of conversation about who made it and who didn’t. Who was injured and who was being sent home. There was no talk of any factions pulling out and leaving. Nor did anyone talk of giving up.
It didn’t take long this time to organize equipment and personnel. Gregory again found himself dressed in his battle gear and waiting on the okay to pass through the portals. He felt like he was travelling through a mysterious rabbit hole. Gregory was itching to get this done. He was not stopping until they were successful in destroying the Lich and what existed of his brother.&n
Gregory awoke from sleeping and reached for Aricka. He then realized he was now comfortable and expecting her there beside him. He felt a longing in his heart for Aricka as he lay there, staring at the ceiling of his bedroom. One more interrogation, and then this would all be over—a highly personal questioning. Gregory wanted answers as to why Richard had done all this. He triedto take Everything from Gregory and never looking for his own place in the world. The Pack and their family would have supported anything he wished to have done. H
Gregory couldn’t bear to be in the room with Richard. It hurt too much to know that there was no way for them to give him a second chance. This time it was far worse than banishing him and giving him a chance to find a new path. He could never understand Richard’s choice entirely that was clear to him.He decided that he would get Evan and take him to see his Mother.He would be safe with Gregory beside him.Gregory had received reports about Evan since living with his friend Michael’s family.This way, there were fewer ch
Gregory returned Evan to Michael’s house with a Hell Hound in tow. Gregory explained what was happening and that he would be back in a few hours. He felt terrible about this, but he would not scar Evan with watching his father die before him. With that done, he stopped long enough to look through his email on his cellphone and send out some replies. He cursed a few times because of the time-sensitivity of some of it. Gregory called Rolo and found out that they had not started the destruction of the phylactery yet, so he made it clear he would be there for the proceedings.Then he returned to the site of the cells and entered the interrogations room. That was where the mages had set up for the ritual. As far as Gregory c
