Hiding In Plain Sight

New Bonds

It was dawn and by now everyone was at the table eating breakfast. Everyone except for Dante, which worried Nathanael and scared Shiro. "Has anyone seen Dante?" Nathanael spoke up but no one where Dante was. Suddenly a bright flash illuminated the room then diminished revealing a shirtless Knox and a basically naked Dante since he was in a tattered night gown that showed literally all his skin.

"Knox I told you to stop flashing in here." Eden scolded. She has forgiven him for trying to steal her baby and is trying start over with him but she couldn't shake the feeling that he was up to something.

"Where were you?" Nathanael asked sternly which Dante didn't like at all.

"Shouldn't have done that." Patricia and Eden mused simultaneously.

"He doesn't need to explain himself to you, he's a fully grown man." Knox defended which Eden found quite interesting. "So you're his new toy now? Take it from the guy who loved him too much, you'll never get any action, not even a kiss." Nathanael warned.

He loved me? That's new. "Can you guys fight over him some other day? We have plans to make if we're going take down the Sisterhood and hope to come out alive. Now shut up and eat!" Rafael demanded and it was so.

+++++++++++++
After 25 minutes of silence, Eden decided to speak up. " I forgot to ask but Dante are you going to perform the blood fusion spell?"

"Yes dear. Who else would do it? I was actually thinking about doing it now, right here. "

"I don't think right here is the right place." Rafael said.

"Why not? Eden is here, Dante is here and so is Mathias. The best time is now since we'll be busy for most of the day." Shiro advised and as much as Dante hated to agree with him, he was right.

"Okay then Eden smear your blood on him and I'll begin."

"Um Rafael is going to do it." Eden said nervously as if asking for Dante's approval. His opinion will always matter no matter what.

"Aw this is so sweet..........oh well more work for me. Rafael smear your blood on the boy, if you have blood. Do spirits bleed?"

"I'm still alive so yes I do bleed." Rafael was happy that Eden wanted him to do this with her. Even though after this Mathias would be his son, he kinda wanted one of his own, one of his own making but that was something for later discussion.

The two love birds smear their blood on Mathias and stepped away to let Dante do his thing. "Et Factus Est Sanguis Sanguinem. Sanguinem Filii Sui Sanguinem - that's it."

"Wait that's all??!? No flaming candles, no wind, no nothing?" Knox questioned in disbelief. "I'm a professional dear, never underestimate me."  Dante said and strutted up to his room followed by Knox.

"Hey! Where the fuck are you going?!"Nathanael yelled. He was so mad he thought he would explode. He couldn't believe Dante would rather give his virginity to a stranger than him, talk about cruel.

"I'm going upstairs . With Dante. To do things." he jeered. He really wasn't trying to get at Nathanael, Eden was his primary target but teasing Nathan was fun too.

"You bastard, leave him alone." Nathanael growled flashing glowing red eyes.

"Nathanael your eyes? What's wrong with them?" Dante rushed past Knox to his cheating ass mate.

"Did you sleep with him?" Nathanael questioned rather rudely but Dante couldn't help but answer, those red eyes scared him to death.

"No. I was just mad when I heard you and Shiro last night." Dante confessed.

"I thought you didn't want him?" Shiro butted in.

"I don't.......... I don't know why I felt so mad." Dante didn't know what came over, the sudden anger.

"That would be my doing." they heard a female voice speak.

"Didn't we spell the house against astral projections? Who are you and how did you get in?" Pat asked.

"Could you please excuse us. This is a family matter." the voice said then everybody except Dante, Eden and Mathias abruptly fell asleep. "Now both if you come with me and I won't have hurt you."

Dante was now pissed at the strange voice for giving him orders. "Did you just give me an order!?"

"Dante shut up! She just called us her family and you're worried about who gives who orders." Eden scolded then attempted to sense the females spirit but it was futile.

"Dante was always such a vreemde een." the voice said in an African dialect which Dante and Eden understood. It meant strange one.

"What did you just say?" Dante asked. "Where did you hear that from?"

"Dante she's just playing mind tricks on you. Katja is dead, they killed her when they attacked our, when she tried to save us." Eden said trying to calm the now trembling Dante.

Katja was Eden's older sister, who died when she tried to save Eden and Dante by jumping in front six incoming arrows. Dante loved her like a mother since his died giving birth to him. Eden made it a point of her duty to make Katja's life miserable but they loved each other immensely so when she died Eden didn't talk for a year.

"No. I'm not dead, I am alive and well. And I want my family with me when The Sisterhood and I raise Lucifer."

Dante immediately stop trembling and was as mad as the devil himself. "Do you think it's funny when you play on peoples emotion like this?" he asked rather calmly but that was just a facade to keep his magic from demolishing the house.

"I'm not playing on your emotions." Katja then appeared beside Dante and stared into his dark brown eyes. "I'm real."

"Go away!!" Eden commanded.

"As you wish but both of you must meet me in the woods once the moon is at it's apex or you won't like what they'll do to you. Farewell my loves." Katja then disappeared leaving behind a pile of gold dust.
