Lalin (GxG) Book 2 in The Detroiter series.(Complete)

Chapter Seven: Natchitoches pt 1

                  Shauna POV

When I wake up I feel like something is wrong immediately. It's Ailsa I think, "Ailsa." Our bond feels like it's almost completely gone. Chée (Mardochée) is over Ailsa frantic. I unbuckle my seatbelt and go kneel next to Ailsa,"No.", I whisper. "Yes.", I hear in my head. "Ramanga. It's Ramanga.", I scream to Chée. "Jwenn li soti nan mwen KOUNYE A(Get her out of me NOW)!!!" Then BOOM, I felt like a horse had just kicked me in my stomach and like an elephant was now sitting on my chest. I'm completely winded and my vision is blurry.

After a few blinks or maybe ten(I can't really count right now), I try to shake the cobwebs out. The lights are now flickering and I'm on the other side of the plane. Chèe holding up her hand, palm facing towards me, fingers to the ceiling.

Smoke is flowing from the middle, as if her arm had turned into a chimney and the smoke is exiting out the center of her hand. "Bondye mwen rayi ke bitch(God I hate that bitch)" Ailsa starts to cough. "Bloody hell that hurt.", she sits up on her elbows and looks at Chèe.  Then following Chée's arm she sees me on the floor, I'm positive I have a relieved look on my face. Shear panic takes hold of hers.

We both try to get to each other. Chèe then holds up both hands one aimed at each of us as to tell us both to stop. "SISPANN(STOP)!!!" at the same time. She turns to Ailsa and says, "Rete gade nan mwen(Stay look at me)" Ailsa gets a confused look on her face. Chèe then says "Wi, li bon(Yes she's fine)."Chèe is about to come towards me, but I stop her. "Mwen bon(I'm good)." "Shauna?", she says and just looks at me. After a few seconds she says, "Ok." Then moves and goes to sit down. Ailsa bends down next to me, "Are you ok?" She tilts my chin towards her, as she look into my face, her eyes are full of worry.

"Yes I'm fine, are you ok?" "I'm just fine, but why are you on the floor?" That's when Chèe chimes in, "Ki bitch(That bitch)." Ailsa and I burst out laughing. "She is officially a Wilhelm", Ailsa jokes. Chèe looks at me. I look back at Chèe and I say, "Ailsa di ou se fanmi(Ailsa says you're family)."  She smiles at Ailsa, then says, "Mèsi fin vye granmoun dam(Thanks old lady)"

I'm curious about something though so ask as Ailsa helps me off the floor, "Hey Chèe, ki jan ou te konnen yon bagay te mal ak Ailsa(how did you know something was wrong with Ailsa)?" "Senp nou tout nou gen vanpir san. Hey lè mwen ka aprann angle(Simple we all have vampire blood. Hey, when can I learn english)?"

Ailsa skin color, personality and wit. Check. My eyes, supernatural gifts, parts of my personality and smarts. Check. Vampire blood bonds with both Ailsa and I, check. I look at Ailsa and I say, "This really might be our kid." I'm being sarcastic, but if Ailsa and I could procreate, I'm positive that kid would be Chèe. After what we all just went through in Haiti, Ailsa and I have instantly bonded with Mardochée and even her pet chicken.

We arrive at Alexandria International Airport around 10:30 am local time. Even though it's nice to back in the states, once we get in Detroit, I have to see if I can meet up with my family. I want to break the news about my grandparents, to all of them in person. I also want to introduce them all to Chèe and Chi Chi, our new family members.

It's a beautifully sunny day out. But once again we step off a plane into a mind bogglingly hot atmosphere. "Did we just step into the pits of hell?", Ailsa ask. "Yes.", a familiar voice says. I smile. Luke. "Hey, Luke.", I say without even turning. He says, "Ailsa, fuck you. You bloody wanker." Chèe laughs, she must've picked up the gist of the meaning from hearing Alisa talk. God Ailsa is such a bad influence. "Do I dare ask?", I ask. "You should ask your bloody fiancée." Luke gives me a hug and a kiss on the cheek. As well as his condolences.
