"LET GO OF ME!" came the guttural roar from Luna as she fell to the floor of the gym breathing heavily as she shook. Mayhem looked down at her in terror as he heard the animal wines coming from Luna. What the hell had he gotten into?
"Can I have some water?"came the shudder out of the girl.
"Yea, let me go get you some" Mayhem said on auto pilot as he moved to the gym cooler and got a bottle of water from the fridge.
He handed the water over as Luna held out a shaking arm. As soon as it was in her hand she twisted the cap off hurriedly and poured the water down her shoulder where the necklace had touched. A sweet sigh came from her as she slumped down farther letting her shoulder become more exposed. Mayhem caught sight of the scaring now that decorated her back. It was deep and made Mayhem's blood boil just thinking of her getting harmed like that.
"Who did that to you?" Mayhem said trying not to grind his teeth into his gums.
"None of your business" Luna said covering her shoulder quickly and turning towards him. Her eyebrows shot up as she caught the look in his eyes. He was pretty pissed she thought to herself and quickly thought of some kind of explanation.
"Look it was from a long time ago" she said "It was for my own good, now can we just drop it?"
Mayhem turned away and started to walk towards the doors. He needed to cool off, maybe play the guitar for a bit just to get his mind out of this situation.
"Hey!" Luna shouted at him "You can't just leave me here! I don't know my way around this place!"
Mayhem stopped and cursed to himself. He had promised he'd show her where her and the others could stay. He turned around and headed back towards the wolfen girl, and tried real hard not to think about those scars.
"You've got to be fucking kidding me" Quinn said from the back of the room of the king's office.
"Shut the fuck up" John signed to him as he looked back to the king.
"No I'm not kidding, it's a good move to align ourselves with the wolfen. Right now the prick of a leader for the lessers is doubling his inductees everyday. We have to do something to counter it. You saw how they fight, their skills are close to ours and they have a bigger bite. Sorry my man" the king said turning to Rhage.
Rhage popped a lollipop into his mouth and rubbed his healing wound from Luna "No biggie, though I gotta say I don't really like it. Wolfen and our kind have a pretty bad rap."
"It's a good move" Tohr said "But we have to keep them in line, I can't stress this enough. Their territorial, they could snap any moment."
"I don't think that's much of a problem" the king said "That alpha female seems to have everything under control. Plus, she saved the prince, I owe it to her on a personal level."
"I really don't think it's a good idea" Rehv said from the couch as Butch nodded beside him. Vishous was the only one who hadn't spoken up yet, probably because he was thinking about his own shit right now. All week he had been having visions, some were hazy, like his eyes had suddenly become blurry, but he could still make out the smells and sounds. Then others were clear as day, as if he was sitting right there while it happened. All the visions though had been warm, and bright, nothing like he had dealt with before. Usually they meant death or harm to the person, but now it seemed to be something else.
Suddenly the Brother snapped back to attention as he heard his name being called.
"My Brother? You okay over there?" Wrath said looking at him with concern. Even though the king had his vision restored, he still wore the wrap arounds, probably just out of habit now.
"Just thinking the situation over" he muttered and lit up another blunt. He didn't even make it to lighting the fucker when suddenly he was hit with another vision, but this time it was like getting hit over the head with a bat it was so strong.
Vishous fell to the floor as the visions played in his head, he couldn't hear his Brothers yelling his name, only the sounds of the golden vision flooding his entire mind.
He was in the hallway of the mansion, and everything seemed...right.
He walked as if he knew exactly where he was going, hearing the laughter come from various rooms in the house. He suddenly stopped at Rhage's door, hearing the sweet humming of Mary as she rocked something in a chair beside the bed. His Brother came from the bathroom,smelling like sweet apples.
"Shhhh he's asleep" Mary said in a whisper. Rhage came over and looked at his shellan and whatever it was in her arms with such love and warmth...
Suddenly another vision hit him with great force, he only heard a faint yelling of his shellan before he was sucked back in
He was in front of his door, but something was different. He heard laughter and giggles, something that had never come from that room before. He slowly opened the door, not wanting to ruin whatever happiness had befallen his shellan. His beautiful wife sat at their table, her hair messy and her lovely face spotted with paint. She wasn't dressed in scrubs anymore, but in a T-shirt and shorts, something she almost never wore. He loved the look on her, so natural and warm.
"Mommy mommy look!" a squeel came from the other side of the room as two little girls rushed up to his shellan. Both had jet black hair like him that reached past their back in long strands.
"Look what sissy made!" the smaller one piped up as they handed over a freshly painted picture.
"Oh how pretty!" his shellan said giving the girl's a warm smile "Daddy will love this one, won't you Daddy?" Jane said turning up to him with a bright smile. Suddenly both girls whipped around with a gasp and huge smiles.
"DADDY!" they both screamed and he felt himself bend down with open arms. They rushed into them and he felt a surge of pure bliss envelope him...
He was crying now as the vision was torn away from him. It had felt too perfect...it was too perfect. Then he felt the final surge hit him.
He saw a beautiful golden field, the cream wheat blowing gracefully in the breeze. The prince lay in the sun, his eyes closed as his arms craned around his head. He looked so relaxed...more relaxed than he had ever saw. A butterfly brushed against his cheek and he moved his hand to let it move on. On his hand was the Santurian Ring, the prince was now king.
Suddenly children began yelling and laughing excitedly from the background. The prince had heard something and was turning to his side. Vishous suddenly saw the wolf girl, the one that had attacked Rhage, only now she was not like an animal, but a regal female dressed in a egg shell white summer dress, her hair glowing in the sunlight. Somehow, his happiness was because of her...because of something she did...
Vishous turned and saw the children now, two boys with red hair like the girl and a little girl with dark hair that reminded him of the night sky. Suddenly the little girl turned to Vishous with a knowing stare. Her eyes were the color of fire...
"Vishous!" his shellan screamed as she slapped him hard as the other hand shook his shoulder. He blinked furiously before looking around the room. All were staring down at him with wide stares.
"Jesus Christ don't ever do that again!" Jane said breaking down in tears. She hardly ever lost her cool, he must have been out for a while.
"Vishous what the hell happened?" the king said towering over the Brothers as he looked down with the most concern.
"I have dreamnt of the wolfen" he said not realizing his voice was hoarse and soft. He looked to Rhage and the king.
"And?" his king said bending down to Vishous's eye level.
"There will be fortune if they stay" he said "Lives will change, our destinies will change" Vishous gave the king a solid look "They must be allowed to stay."
"Then so be it" the king said as he turned to the group with his eyes giving his decision.
Vishous lay his head back down on his shellan's lap as he looked up at her. Jane still had tears in her eyes, but her smile covered up how scared she had been.
God, he hoped his visions were right.
