One heart, two souls. (Rated R)

Illusions and trickery.

Sarah finally made it back to the city about sunset. Merlin was reported dead, his throat slit open by a ship's captain. Alyss tried to comfort Sarah, but to no avail, Sarah refused to utter a single word.

The next morning, Sarah was no where to be found.

-Eli's POV-

I sighed, finally landing in Greece. The scent of vanilla and lavender seemed to fill the air, the memories of Sarah came flooding back into my memory. 'Damnit, I thought those memories left already.' I cursed myself silently, as i made my way to the docks. A festival was going on here, or some sort of party. The image of Sarah's true demonic form lashed into my eye sight. "Damnit, that was ov..." I trailed off, as people started staring at me. I grumbled, leaning over the railing. I swore I seen Alyss sitting on the shore line. I quickly made my way over to her, tapping her on the shoulder. "ELI!!!" She shouted, wrapping her arms around me. "Hey.." Was all i could say, before she whacked me over the head with her fist. "WHERE THE BLOODY HELL HAVE YOU BEEN THE PAST 36 YEARS?!" She shouted, I blinked. I didn't think i was missed that much. "You missed your son's birth, achieveme.." I cut Alyss off. "Son?" I stared at her with disbelief, sitting on a hot rock. "Yes, Sarah said you were the father of her child. Kinda irritating that you and her where easily able to produce, while me and your fath..." I cut her off again. "I had a son?" Seemed to be the only thing i could say.

Alyss sighed. "Had being the key word." I glared at her for the first time since ever. "What do you mean 'had'?" I clinched my teeth as i spoke. Alyss took a deep breath in, and sighed. "He was slaughtered in cold blood, by a demon hunter. Sarah slaughtered half the village." Oh god, Sarah must've snapped when our son was killed. It was the festival all over again.

Without saying another word to her, i jumped up and ran off. The freshest of Sarah's scent would lead me to her. I easily found her standing at the oceans edge. I contemplated going closer to her, then thought of her slaughtering the hell out of me for not returning. "Do you have any idea, the pain and suffering i had to endure?" She turned and looked at me, i bit my tongue to let her continue. Instead she sat into the water, and patted the spot beside her. I walked close and kept my head down. "He was amazing, he was a wolf, but had a gray tinge to his fur. He was a fighter, strong and true." I listened to her tell me about our son. "He had two different eye colors, Eli." She mumbled, i looked up to see fresh tears in her eyes. "What was his name?" I finally spoke up, she looked to me and gave a half hearted smile. "Blake Eliot Malkov." She pursed her lips into a thin line. She gave our son my name, i couldn't help the smile that crawled on my face.

Mind you, I hadn't expected her to scoot closer to me, and lay her head on my shoulder. I wrapped an arm around her shoulders, holding her close. For some reason, i had expected her to scream and shout at me, calling me a lousy father for never being there. Instead she just curled into my side like a fragile doll, on the verge of breaking. We sat there, staring into the waters, not saying a single word.

After abit of silence, she spoke up. "What did i look like the first time i lost control?" I looked at her in shock, i had been told to never tell her. I broke that promise to Alyss. "Well, i remember your white hair turned a different shade. It looked grayish, with red streaks. And your vampiric fangs showed. And you had claws that were covered in blood. Your eyes were a soulless black." I shook my head the flash back running across my mind.

-past / Eli's pov-

I laughed sitting next to her on the ride, until i heard screaming down below. "Eli? Please tell me we're not gonna be stuck up here?" I would have laughed at her fear of heights, had i not cared so much of her safety. I unhooked my protective belt, and ripped her's off. Moving so she could climb onto my back. And as i stood at the edge, I could hear the worry in her voice. "Eli, We can't jump from this height." I snorted, and seen a building close by that i could possibly sink my claws into. I shifted into my feline form, leaping from the giant wheel ride, and digging all four of my paws into the concrete. I managed to break the fall enough that only i got hurt. I yelped when i felt my let snap.

I looked up to see a bloodied corpse coming towards us. 'I can't let her get hurt. Momma would beat my head in.' I thought as i tried to stand, only to fall. The corpse ignored me going straight for Sarah. The creature lifted her up and tore into her throat. I heard her scream out with pain, as the creature dropped her and staggered off. Ignoring my own pain, i lifted her up bridal style and carried her off the best i could. I stumbled over my own feet, dropping her. I watched her, her eyes shifting from a blueish white, to red, and to pitch black. Her teeth sharpened into a demonic vampire, and her nails grew sharp. I watched her float slightly as two black, sharp horns appeared on her head, and a black tail with white stripes at the end of it appear also.

I turned my head momentarily to see, one of those bloodied corpses standing over me. I screamed trying to drag myself away from it, "Stop crying you big baby" I heard her snap at me in a demonic multi voice. I didn't see her move, but i seen the bloodied corpse dead on the ground. "These creatures are possessed by demons, the only way to kill them..." She paused going after another, and i heard her howl. "... OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!!" I heard a maniac laugh come from her direction. I watched in amazement at her power and strength.

Towards the end, i stared at her standing on top of the corpses, her tail twitching behind her. She had a fang bared, looking at her bloodied hands. I seen my father walk up with his wife, and my momma. Sarah's eye sight went straight to momma, and she collapsed falling from the pile of dead bodies. I looked up at my dad as he caught Sarah. Uncle Hetaly lifted me up, and helped me back to where we were staying. Momma Alyss hissed at us all that Sarah must never know what happened. Least not until she was older.

-Present-

After telling her, she stared at me as if in disbelief. She pulled her knees to her chest, tearing her eyes from me to her feet. I couldn't imagine the guilt she must be feeling, over killing those creatures, and of slaughtering the village.

After a bit more silence, Sarah stood up and walked off towards where the peer was. I stood and followed her, taking her hand in mine. We made our way to the peer.
