Wings

Chapter Nine

You woke up in a Red room Valentine asleep his head down by your side. You sit up stirring him from his sleep. He smiled welcoming you back into the world of living. You growned grasping at your chest the blade babrely missing your heart. You pull back your shirt to see a thin scar. The door opens revealing vampire boy who seemed pleased you're finally awake.

" You were asleep for three days. I was scared you slip into a coma."

" It takes a lot more than a dagger to get me down."

" An immortal dagger remember. One we thought you should be able to bare. Believe it or not, the battle isn't over. I don't know about you, but I'm not giving my children up without a fight. Remember that Mega I told you about? She wants to meet you."

He sends you a look warning about the conversation of the assassination. Your lips were zip tight not needing any more problems. Valentine encouraged you up helping guiding you motions as you stand. You admit the man had a good heart as he talks about getting some food in you. You say you're fine though you were starving. He frowns barely agreeing this as you make your way to the bar to find the Mega drinking. She was truly gorgeous her strawberry waves perfectly resting her blue eyes compared to the sky with a golden ring around the center. Freckles spot her face reminding you how stars dot the sky. She smiles as she lights a blunt in celebration to your presence. You take a seat beside her graciously taking the blunt from her.

" I finally have a child strong enough for me to carry, and someone is trying to take that away from me. Do you know how that makes me feel?"

" Pissed?"

" Beyond that actually. I've already killed two of their kind, and my thirst for destruction goes beyond that. You know, you should join me for a joy ride. Their forces are just at the edge of town. I heard they're in search of your rocklings."

" I've sent protection to your apartment building. I would of sent them to your room, but I wasn't aware which room was yours... your highness."

Valentine piped up you glad he was on your side now.

" Speaking of that, let's talk about your... sister. She sees you as a threat to her future thrown of the fairies. I need you to show whose the owner of that crown now. She's currently in hiding with her mother Maeve the Gods angered apparently needing you on the throne."

" How do you know all this?"

" Oh. I have my connections with the Gods' world believe it or not."

" I see. Is there anyway we can retrieve my stonelings?"

" Just tell me which room it is, and I'll send them right up."

" I have to go. I have some hidden in the floors, and it's best if I touch them. They're fragile."

" I'll come with you."

" Yes. I trust you with this disappointing Mega, sadly."

" You call me disappointing because I wouldn't join you. I'm perfectly happy where I'm at."

" If you say so. Now, you two get going."

You nodded Valentine giving you his jacket, so you can use his hood. As you exit the bar, you see the security set up from all types of occults. You didn't like how you are intermingling, but it appears you have no choice. The walk was silent you breaking it out of morals.

" I'm sorry about Diana."

" Same here. She won't die in vain huntress."

" So you know what I'm apart of?"

" Yes. They made it clear we better take care of their hero. You know, I've taken two occults down myself before I joined the Divine."

" So that's what you guys are called? Why?"

" We're all Gods. I'm hoping you will join once this is all over."

" Do you honestly think there will be an us after all this? It's a death wish."

" You would be surprised of our strengths. No one is running away from this battle. Everyone has something proved considering most of us were obandoned by their parents or have an honor from a hate for the Gods that's ran through their family for decades."

You think about that tapping in your own anger for your parents, but you push it away as made it home. Valentine makes his way in with you as you two make it to your room. You rush in a bit scurrying to your room sighing when you see your less powerful rocklings still there. They begin vibrating once you take a step in as if sensing you've been hurt. Valentine watches as you hug them swing you truly do care for them. He watches you grab a bag from beneath the bed quickly stashing them. He then watches as wonder as you pull up a wood plank from the floor revealing a plastic container him translating the bindings written all over it. He could smell the essential oils from the doorway as you open your window confusing you. He watches as you drain the holy water it burning your finger tips.

" What occults have you taken down exactly?"

" These are from three nasty ones: Demonics, Scourges, and Bad Lands."

" That's serious Y/n. I have to have to anaylyze these rocklings for the protection of all. I'm sure to have you rewarded for this."

" Don't. That's just the Hunter way."
