Ben's pov
These girls are very protective. Harper and Athena walked up to protect Amanda. I'm from a different line they should be scared. Mrs Luis probably told them not to trust any family line like ever young heavenly break is told. Amanda seems agitated, she sits up, pulling her stitches out. I moved foward and so did Athena and Harper.
"I need to stitch her back up." My yelling shook the house but the girls did not move. Amanda was focused on her sister carrying her child into the kitchen. "Amanda you lost lot of blood! It is not good for your kind!"
Her eyes snapped back to me, they were pitch black. "My kind?! You don't even know me!"
We sat there for 20 minutes staring at each other. She finally nodded for Harper and Athena to leave the room. I went to stitch her back up. I whispered, "now you are worried about your health."
I watched her and walking around the room looking for clues to see were their Syzygy's body can be. And where it's the person that killed her is at. Amanda's heart beat is getting slower. "You need to feed. Here." I hand her a pack of blood that I pack in my bag for cases like this.
She threw the packet on the floor, "I'm not drinking that."
"You're a f*cking nightwalker, now drink the blood!"
"I'm not whatever you just said."
I scoffed, "yeah right! And your sisters are not a mix of a heavenly break and a nightwalker."
I paced the room, Amanda laid there staring at her child from a distance. "Was my baby a girl or a boy?"
"A girl, now will you drink the blood so you that you will heal," I had her to packet of blood. "If you won't do it for yourself do it for her." She took the packet with no back talk and drink the blood without losing eye contact with me. I finally looked at the triplets playing with Amanda's daughter.
"Now why the hell are you here? Is Mrs Luis the only reason?"
Two days earlier
"Ben you are a heavenly break killing other heavenly breaks. You are all types of messed up." Jerry is the one speaking to me.
"Yeah? Will what is your excuse? A Syzygy killing the people they are supposed to protect." We are in Vision the bar for mercenaries. None us are friends but you act like we are, it is every man for himself.
There is a strange sent feeling the air, expensive Cologne. He was not the normal humans we have encountered. He is a heavenly break.
"Hey can you listen into the conversation. I want to know if I can get the job." Jerry's always using my powers to his personal game. I don't mind because I'm getting 25% of his pay. He's not this is the smartest out of all us but he knows how to get the job done.
"I need one of your best mercenaries. Its to killer a nightwalker. And kidnap the three children with her and bring them to me."
I laughed. "Hey Jerry you up for a nightwalker?"
His face went pale. "Only a Lucifer or a heavenly break can kill those things. Why does he want one died?"
Went back to listening to the conversation with our boss, Sebastian, and the man. "Why do you want one died?" Our bosses are shamrock. They run mercenary houses, some night clubs, and sell illegal arms. Each of them look like 90 year old men.
"Do you want the money or not?!"
Sebastian smiled, "I will get you my best." He walked over to Jerry and me. "Will either of you like to take this man's case? I know you were listening."
Jerry choked on his beer, "no no no no no no!" He left the bar not turning back.
"I guess I'll take it boss." Sebastian lead me and the man to the back room to make the deal. The man will silent listening to the terms. I'm really surprised to see a heavenly break putting an order out on a nightwalker. Then again he might be surprised to see a heavenly break hunting their own kind and other species.
"Now who is this night Walker mister? And what is your name?" Sebastian talk slow until there's a deal to be made. He always has a creepy smile on his face.
"My name is Hans Ames, the nightwalker is Amanda Ames." I couldn't wrap my head around it. It is his niece, he wants her killed, and she's a nightwalker. Are the breaks and the walkers mixing to make a stronger force, strong enough to beat the mercenaries.
"Okay Mr Ames, Ben here is going to help you. It's a pleasure to do business with you." Sebastian left the room leaving Mr. Ames and me alone.
"Your disgrace to your kind!" His voice had a disappointing tone.
I laughed for a good 2 minutes. "I'm the disgrace let's see. You have a nightwalker as a niece, you're in a mercenary house when you can do the dirty work yourself, and you want to say I'm the disgrace?"
A vein started pumping on his neck and his forehead. I must have hit a nerve, I really don't care. "Now I need all the information that you have on her and the children with her. And I need your address. I like to get my jobs done fast."
"I do not know is the children are a mix between a heavenly break and a nightwalker. Each of them have turned, one is the Alpha. You should know how alphas protect their packs unless you are a Omega who doesn't know what it is like!"
I did have a pack because I left them. Family turns their backs on you to. So I ran away when I was sixteen. Not caring but what I left behind. What is probably why my brothers called me a selfish prick.
"I'll get the job done. Do not insult me again!"
"Okay," he handed me the information I needed and I left. Time to hunt a nightwalker.
