Chapter 19 - Meeting the Kings

    This definitely isn't a police station or any kind of authoritative building, more like a skyscraper. I didn't see a name to the building just the metal exterior filled with windows and sharp architecture.

    The guy that drove me hear, a big, burly, bald man that was much like Dwayne Johnson and the Big Show from WWE mixed; but his head was rounder and there was no facial hair.

    He walked straight through the lobby/bottom floor and to the elevator. He clicked the button and it opened up instantly showing an empty elevator. All of the buttons on the inside indicated there were 108 floors, he pushed the 33rd button.

    Elevator music met our ears when the door shut and started lifting us. It didn't take long at all for us to be at the 33rd floor.

    The doors opened up to reveal a reception area with gray sponged walls and multiple shades of brown and gray diamond carpet. The desk was a curved slick blue desk with a wood counter.

    We walked right past it to double doors right across from where we entered.

    The room was much like a classroom except the windows were all but a foot of the wall with small breaks in between with vertical blinds. The walls were white with gray carpet and a dark oak oval table in the middle of the room with 14 black leather computer chairs surrounding it.

    When we walked in all of them stood up and turned to face us. The two heads of the table were empty with 3 pairs of people on each side. It was pretty easy to identify their kind.

    I haven't seen any of them before except the alien pair, well the chair next to him is empty but I already know his wife is dead. Looking at his face again I can't help but freeze with shock.

    I felt the big hand of the guard that led me here on the small of my back leading me the empty chair to the right of the table, the closest head chair.

    The first pair to my left, the angels, started talking first going around the table to introduce themselves. "I'm Gabrial Faye and this is my wife Faith Faye. We are the King and Queen of the Angels." There smiles and gentle voices prove that much more that they are angels.

    I nodded to them in greeting, as I did to the rest.

    "I'm Elijah Warren and my wife Raven Warren, King and Queen of the witches." They were the most humanly people here.

    "Vordav Matzan, King of the Aliens." I looked at him a little longer before looking at the vampire couple.

    "I'm Athanato Vasilias and my wife Delilah Vasilias, King and Queen of the vampires."

    "I'm James Lakaon and this is my wife, Elizabeth Lakaon, King and Queen of the werewolves."

    Then the all too familiar fallen angels or devils, "I'm Lucifer and my wife Lilith, King and Queen of the demons." They were the only couple with a hard look on their faces.

    The Vasilias had an apologetic look, figures since his kind was the one the scarred me, and Vordav had a slight smile. The rest did smile along with a sympathy look on their faces.

    We all sat down and got to business after the introduction. I didn't say my name because I know they already know it.

    Athanto was the first to talk, "I will be addressing this situation for the most part since it was one of mine who caused you so much terror."

    I nodded to show I was listening and then he continued.

    "The call that I received about you was alarming and I am truly sorry about all that has happened to you. Although I only know the damage I wanted to know how you got all of those scars. The tape I received had provided that, once I had received it I called up the rest of us that are here and we listened to it together. I have no doubt that you are lying and I am so utterly sorry of it all. Vordav had told me of a kidnapped human that was in the hands of a vampire, he said you would be fine and live.
