Immortal Knight

Meeting of the Elders

Damien paced in the woods behind Kerri's house, wanting so badly to just spend the day with her. But he couldn't because he didn't want his so-called babysitters to know just how badly that Damien needed Kerri. If there was a hell for vampires this was it, wanting to feel loved by a human and to tell her everything. Then not wanting her harmed by what you are, it was like the two halves were splitting him apart. The human side that Kerri was uncovering and the vampire side that was possessive of her and wanted her completely safe and untouchable. Going in two completely different directions. Damien sighed and leaned against a tree and watched as Kerri walked out of her back door with a book and her cell phone.

Damien heard foot steps behind him, Damien spun around and shifted into a wolf and had the threat pinned to a tree. Razor sharp teeth inches from its throat.

"Damien it's me Ethan!" Ethan exclaimed as he caught a glimpse of white fur and a huge paw that had a metal brace on the right leg. Damien backed off and turned his back to Ethan. Damien lowered himself to the ground and laid his head on his front paws, watching Kerri move about her yard.

"What are you doing sneaking up on me? I could have killed you"

"I didn't sneak up on you, I was coming to give you this." Ethan said as he tossed a blood bag to him, Damien let it fall to the ground by his left paw. Damien lifted his head, looked at the bag and then at Ethan, Damien sighed and pushed the blood bag away from him with his paw.

"Damien, you have to have it or you'll become weak-" Damien snorted, Kerri sat down on the grass and Damien lost sight of her. Damien's head shot up and a whine escaped his throat, Ethan heard it and his eye brows lifted. Ethan knew that Damien was dangerous in both forms and he knew well that Damien was formidable as a wolf. Damien's wolf form stood to the middle of Ethan's back and Ethan was six foot and five inches. And there was not one shred of fat on Damien's wolf body, Damien's fur coat was pure white. In all truth, to a human, he was the best wolf specimen in the breed.

"This is the human woman that you love, isn't she?" Ethan asked as he took a step forward, Damien growled and put himself between Ethan and Kerri.

"You touch her and I swear to the gods I'll kill you!" The wolfs eyes went from purple to ice blue and its bared razor sharp teeth showed brightly in the shade of the forest.

"Easy, Damien, I won't touch her" Ethan said and Damien shifted back and stood in front of Ethan. His shirt was torn to shreds when he shifted into his wolf so he stood shirtless. He pointed at Ethan, his eyes still ice blue and still cold as ice.

"Go back on your word and I'll shred you to pieces" Damien said and Ethan bowed. Knowing that he meant every word that he said and that he had the power of all the Elders combined and the blood of the Royal court which made Damien even the more powerful. And the only one that could really go up against him was his twin, but the brothers wouldn't even fight each other. So, if you ticked one brother off and got on his killing side, you ticked the other brother off and you were automatically on that one's killing side.

"I won't Damien, oh I forgot the counsel of the Elders want to talk to the coven, especially to you and Kyle." Ethan said as he took out a black envelope from his back pocket and handed it to Damien. Damien took the envelope and ripped it open to revile expensive white paper. Damien took the paper out of the envelope and unfolded it.
