Finally

A Nephilim pt.2

This is still from Phoenix POV:

Then it will change to Larry's POV:

After the uncomfortable silence I waited for either questions to be thrown my way. Unfortunately after the long awaited questions non came.

I sighed heavily and took the opportunity to read the minds of not just the Royals but also Laurent's family members. Not because I really needed to, but because whenever Larry was around Laurent's family he felt uncomfortable. Like really, really uncomfortable and I wanted to make sure it was because of his abused past and not because Laurent's family will cause harm to Larry or our babies.

It only took about fifteen minutes to scan everyone's thoughts not only about mine and Alaric's existence but also what they thought about Larry. Surprisingly so they absolutely adore him and still feel guilty for making him feel unwanted to which made Larry leave the pack.

I felt happy knowing the people in this room do truly care about my human and consider him a treasure.

'Phoenix'. I heard Alaric call my name bringing me not only out of my thoughts but also the thoughts of those inside this room. Unable to talk I just stared at him waiting for him to say something to me.

'Are you okay Phoenix'? He asked me, his voice laced with worry.

'Yes my love'. I answered him back calmly just so he knew I am truly okay. After our short exchange of words someone from inside the room began asking questions again.

'Phoenix, when Alaric said that the human was kinda immortal, what does he mean by your resurrection making the human kinda immortal'? I was confused at first by the question which took a while for me to digest the words.

After kinda understanding her questions I answered her the best I could. I looked her straight in the eyes and explained what had happened.

'Well a Phoenix has a short life span'. I began saying. 'And when I say short I mean twenty-five years short'. 'But because I am half Nephilim my life span lasts fifty years'. 'And when my time ends whether I am attached to someone or not my life ends'. 'Unfortunately my life span was attached to a human, (which has never happened before and has not happened since)'. 'Well when my time came it cost the humans life'. 'Her partner was extremely upset and found a very dark witch who only practiced black magic'. 'She performed a ritual using my essence that still lingered on his loved one and tied our life's together'. 'Unfortunately for the human he gets resurrected every time I do'. 'Unlike me though, the human has gone crazy over the centuries from all the deaths and resurrections that he has gone through'. 'He had seeked out a black witch when Larry was about two years old and through our unfortunate bond the first black witch had created he was able to track me down, sleeping inside Larry'. 'No one knew I was inside Larry'. 'No one not even the Elders or healers was able to detect me'. 'But he could because of the black magic bond'. 'Shortly afterwards Larry's was tortured trying to bring me forward'. 'I refused knowing no matter what Larry would be the one that would get hurt'. 'Not sure the exact age Larry's pack was attacked and destroyed to try and capture Larry, but I do know it was an age no pup should have been able to shift, but he was able to'. I sighed trying to catch my breath and blink back the tears that threatened to fall.

'Do you know the name of the first black witch that cast the binding ritual'? The high Priestess asked me. I shook my head no, because unfortunately my life had ended before I was able to find out. 'Do you know the name of the witch that found you in Larry'? She asked me. I nodded my head yes. I actually knew the dark witch, we were friends once upon a time.

'Can you tell me her name'? She asked and I once again nodded yes.

'Her name is Scarlett'. I told her. I heard a gasp followed by growls. I looked to find whom I believe to be the King of the Werewolves growling at the High Priestess.

'What happened'? I asked no one, but everyone.

'Are you sure her name is Scarlett'? The High Priestess asked me, almost in a whispered voice. I nodded yes not sure why I feel uneasy all of a sudden.

Alaric squeezed my hand and whispered in my ear to shift back into Larry. I nodded and stood from the chair walking to the far side of the room and prepared to shift back into Larry. I waited for Alaric to stand in front of me and shield me as he did before.

Alaric got up told the Royals I was shifting back into Larry and walked in front of me with a change of Larry's clothes. Shifting back into the person or creature I am part of hurts more than when I shift into myself. Sometimes my flames become out of control and can actually injure my counterpart. I am thankfully that Larry nor Blaze has ever been injured by my flames.

Once I was fully shifted I called Larry forward and explained to him what has happened and why I needed to shift back. Blaze was not happy but he understands.

You see Phoenix are only supposed to shift to protect their other entity, not be shifted as long as I was and because of how long I had shifted I could feel Larry's starting to become weak. And as a new father I couldn't allow him to get injured or weak.

I sat in the back of both Blaze and Larry's mind and sent them images of the conversation I had just had and also why I felt uneasy after telling them of Scarlett, and then fell asleep to regain my strength.

It is strange to watch a complete conversation in your head like watching a movie, but I am glad I know what had happened. I also understood why Phoenix doesn't want them to know why she had to shift back, and I'm sure Alaric hadn't said and won't say anything also.

'Um Larry, you can have a seat'. I heard Alaric's voice. I smiled and sat down beside him.

'Larry'? I heard Jackson say. I nodded looking through the thirteen sets of eyes till I found his. I smiled at him and waited till he spoke again.

'How are you feeling'? He asked me. I smiled at him again. I knew the reason he was asking, he wanted to make sure I was strong enough to handle all the questions that will be thrown my way. Queen Jackson truly is a special man with a non heart of gold.

'I am find Jackson, thank you for asking'. 'How have you been'? I asked him. He smiled back at me.

'I am lovely my friend'. 'I got to meet the most precious set of triplets, well actually I got to meet two set of the most precious sets of triplets'. He said with happiness glowing in his eyes. I smiled at him once again.

'They are precious aren't they'? I asked him proudly. 'It is a good thing you brought up my pup's, because both Laurent and I have a very important question to ask you and your husband'. 'And even though Alaric is here instead of Laurent, Alaric already knows and he along with Beast agreed with Laurent's and I decision'. I told him. I watched as he stared at his husband happily. I'm pretty sure he already knew what I was going to ask, but I wanted ask him anyways. No better time than now especially with the upcoming war?

'So will you Queen of the Vampires Jackson and King of the Vampires Egon become what the humans called godparents to our six pup's'? I asked them both with a smile so wide on my face I'm sure you can see my back teeth.

'Are you sure Larry'? Jackson asked hesitantly. 'Yes if course'. 'You know how important my pup's are to us, and how important you are to me'. 'Besides when Lovely (my oldest of the second set of triplets) gets her powers who better to train her than you'? I told him.

'What about their grandparents'? He asked. I sighed then answered him. 'The grandparents can still see them, but with the kind of power my pup's possess, I trust them in yours and yours husbands hands more'. I told him.

I didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings especially Laurent's family, but Lovely and Markus (my son) had already showed signs of having powers. And after a much needed discussion with Laurent we realized if something happened to us, no one will be able to take care of our pup's, no one except the King and Queen of the Vampires. So we chose them as their godparents/ guardian's?

'And speaking of my pup's I can feel them crying'. 'It is time for their dinner and most likely a changing'. 'We will finish this discussion, but they need me right now'. I told everyone in the room. Not waiting for their replies I got up from the chair and left the room, with Alaric right behind me.

'Do you think they will agree'? He asked a little hesitant. I nodded my head then answered him.

'Yes'. 'Queen Jackson is very fond of our pup's, and I know he will love them, because he already does'. I told him confidently.
