Ch. 156
Time passes by so damn slow in the hospital. I've been here a week already and it feels like it's been one year. I'm being dramatic but it's so boring here. Percy comes and goes with Topher. Kiran stays by my side for the most part. He does go to work at times or train. He gets a bit stir crazy too.
He spends time with Auggie, any chance he gets though. I've decided I like Gabriel's nickname for Augustus, and so I've stolen it. He's finally staying in Kiran's arms without shadow weaving immediately. Kiran's so happy now. Ares is doing well too. The steroid shots helped Ares to develop stronger. They should release me later today. I just have to wait till then.
I was watching Auggie stir in his little crib. When he didn't get what he wanted, he traveled to me. He almost missed the bed, but I caught him with a shadow. I don

Percy's P.O.V.This is it. I've waited months for this moment. I was worried I'd be waiting years for this. Finally our paths have crossed, allowing me to save my parents. I know Zae wishes she could be here, but it's probably best that she's not. I don't like to think of her fighting while being that far along.I know Zae is Zae, and more than capable of doing it, but I'd rather she didn't. So secretly, I'm very happy that she can't come. Thankfully she'll help in another, safer, way. Topher gave me reign over this job, but it's really Zae that will be running things from the shadows, quite literally."Okay, so when we get there we are going to split up. We're looking for my parents and the ringleader of the carnival. Let us know if you see any of them." I sat down the portraits of m

Zerena's P.O.V."Listen here as.shole, we're going to ask you some questions and you better damn well answer them, or I'm going to stick shadows in areas you don't want shadows to be. They'll be nice and prickly too." I immediately threatened the ringleader, bypassing the pleasantries of meeting Percy's mate and parents.I need to look scary and mean at the moment, even with my large ass baby bump making me look soft. I want this guy to tremble before me, so he feels compelled to answer."Kiran, my love, watch Auggie for me. I'm taking this one to the basement." I told Kiran, not wanting to defile the nursery with torture. "Topher, let's go."He whisked her to the basement, all of us for some reason. I was thinkin

"These three employed the ringleader of Ness Carnival show to hire demons for them. They had demons kill each original family, staging it so that it looked like they were killed by other species." I finally told them, pointing an accusing finger at the trio. There were gasps and murmurs."This is all fabricated lies. She has always hated the way we run things here since she learned about us. She wasn't even raised as a shadow weaver. She just got the taste for being a Watts and now wants to be the only one. Her pregnancy hormones must be making her delus

The elders scolded me for calling a meeting like that. They understood it, but warned me to never do it again. They moved a member from the west elders to the North, allowing Sebastian to return to the West. They then had an Elder from the East move up to become the senior Elder of the North.I didn't bud into any of that. We probably have a civil war starting against the elders soon. I don't like how they do things. At least some of them. This place needs changing for sure!I'd brought my parents back to their home along with Zola. We were hugging happily, the second I pulled out of their embrace, Auggie appeared in my arms."Dammit, where'd he go now?" I heard Kiran looking around, almost making me want to laugh.

Alester's P.O.V.This new crew is useless as a unit. I'd been working them hard the last couple of months, but they were worse than the 5 year old versions of my old crew. There is no replicating years worth of teamwork, no matter how many experiments and enhancements I put in them. At least they'll serve as a way to weaken the others before I attack.If I did my math correctly and assuming that shadow weavers have a pregnancy span of about 5-6 months she'll be due around late September or early October. I'll attack around. Halloween, when the demon plane is stronger. I'll need the extra boost to beat the five of them together."I think we'll need to enhance your muscles again." I told the older, larger boy. I haven't bothered remembering their names. They won't be around long enough

Kiran's P.O.V.Auggie was a month old now and Zerena told me it was time for him to make his contract with the shadows. She'd apparently kept that information from me when we discovered the hidden room. Her parents, her, Topher, myself and Auggie were staring at the book in the hidden room. We had closed the hidden entrance, needing it dark for this process.Shay took the book out of the glass case, holding it in front of Auggie. The book flipped pages on its own until it reached one with a crescent shape in the center."That shall be his page. You need to prick his foot and use his blood to draw the same symbol mirrored in front of it. The shadow that chooses will merge the symbol and the blood to seal the contract." Shay explained to us.

Zerena's P.O.V.How could I be so stupid? I couldn't let a dark shadow get to Auggie, but I should have relied on everyone else more. I shouldn't have sped my shadows more, now Ares will be coming a whole month early. My heart was breaking with guilt and worry for him. He's so little right now to be coming out to the world today.I took a deep breath, trying not to scream as another contraction started. I clutched onto Kiran's hand hard, trying to focus on the sparks of his touch, instead of the pain. Topher rubbed my head giving me something else to focus on. The contraction began to die down as quickly as it had started. I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding."Hello, Miss Watts. I see Ares still wants to come out early. We're going to try to stop the labor at least for anot

A week had passed by now and Ares was doing well. I spent most of my time at the hospital. I'd take Augie with me to visit Ares. When I wasn't at the hospital, Percy was there. We never left him alone, not for one minute.I only ever left him to see Auggie. Kiran has Auggie anytime I don't, so I know I'm not leaving him without a parent either. I hate not having them together in the same place for long. The doctor is hopeful that I'll be able to take Ares home next week. Time seems to be passing by so slowly right now. Maybe because hospitals are so boring. Perhaps because I just want to be home with him already."He's getting stronger. He's so beautiful, Zerena." Percy told me as he looked into the incubator, like Ares was an angel sent from above. I held the same admiration, so I don't have room to tease.
