SMOKE & FIRE

-CION-

The last thing he remembers seeing was Jasper Sanguine and Queen Celestia before he stumbled into darkness. Aren't they supposed to be dead or missing? How could they be right under his nose and he hasn't noticed? Cion flutters his eyes open to find himself staring up at his bedroom ceiling, just as Vanica walks into the room, wrapped in just a towel. Her long Indian hair was laying down wet on her head, to her neck with water dripping from its ends. He watches as she reaches for another towel, tipping on her toe. She flung the towel overhead as she pats it dry before wrapping it around her head when she realized that I was awake, staring into the mirror. She quickly turns to grab onto the towel that was wrapped around her naked body.

"You are awake," She stuttered gripping tightly onto the towel as he slowly got up.

"Yea," He walks towards her before he could touch her a gentle knock sounded at the door.

"Alpha Cion; Nathan Sanguine is here to see you." A firm voice sounded outside the door. Vanica and Cion eyes connected as they stare at each other, confusion swept across her face as well as his but for some reason, he knew why her Uncle was here. "Get him to settle in the waiting room, I'll be down in a few," Cion answered.

Cion reaches up unwrapping the towel from her wet hair as Vanica stare up at him. Her bottom shivers nervously as he drops the towel to the ground. He cups both sides of her face before he places a kiss on her forehead then her cheeks, he places a light one on her nose as he lingers over her mouth before he rakes his hand through her wet hair. He firmly massages the scalp of her head causing her to moan quietly as he inhales the scent of Strawberry and her sweet signature scent. He felt himself pressing into her as her butt hitch on the edge of the dresser.

He grabs her hair up in one as he places a kiss right behind her left ears. "Cion," he heard her utter his name. "Yeah," he answered. "Kiss me," she stated breathlessly as he releases her hair and crashes his lips onto her as she wraps her legs around his torso. Something electrifies between as she wraps her self tightly around him. He pulled her as close as he could when the atmosphere around then shift and his inside felt on fire. He pulled away to notice they were outside, A circle of fire surrounds them and Vanica shield was up.

"What's going on?" Vanica asked as she unwraps herself from Cion's body. Holding the towel around her body she turns to realized they were surrounded by bloodthirsty Vampires. The sound of growls and snares could be heard around them. "Robert!" Cion growls in his Alpha voice.

"We're under attack!" Robert answered as he listens to him dodge.

"Is it Venroy?" He asked.

"They are not from clang," Venroy appear in the shield with his two trusted Vampires beside him.

"How is everyone in my Sheild?" Vanica gaps, trying to catch her breath as silver started to spill out of her skin.

"Exon said it has to do you mating with the blood of the land," Venroy said Vanica drops to her knees. Cion could see that her eyes were shifting from silver to fire in a very rapid motion. It was like she was confused.

"Sis are you okay?" Venroy asked as Cion tried to touch her.

"Stay back!" She growls shaking the ground as her hand touch the ground and silver within her started to run like wildfire. "Cion Move!" Venroy shouted as he flies over grabbing him by his arm as he throws him out of the shield into the house. "Get everyone inside!" He snares loudly at Cion, As his eyes shift to Violet Cion didn't question he did as was told, same time Nathan grab Daisy blowing something white into her face causing her eyes to shift to grey and her skin started to crack.

"NOW VENROY!" Nathan growl as he steps into the Packhouse and shut the door.

The sound of Venroy scream could be heard until Nathan whispered something under his breath and his eyes shift to fire, causing Cion and Robert to watch Nathan skin ripping apart as he morphs into his wolf and suddenly Celestia appear beside him with silver pouring out of her hand. "Are you okay?" She grabs onto his fur.

"What are they doing?" Cion asked.

"Together they will know. Just look," He answered causing him to stare out the window as he notices Daisy cracking the earth away from the Packhouse as Venroy uses his voice to weaken the Vampires as he appears beside Vanica and as he touches her a huge light burst between them burning them alive.

"What about Daisy?"

"She'll be fine, they are blood bound. You need to find Zaya and they will be complete." Celestia said causing Cion to stare down at the woman who his mother was fond off. Within a second they both morphs into Nathan and Frankie. CIon watch as Daisy filled the ground back into shape as they all collapsed onto each other. Cion pulled the door open to find them all standing in defensive mode, Vanica stood with fire surround her entire body while Venroy stood dress in grey as his Violet eyes flicker from his human ones to his violet ones. Beside him stood a girl he doesn't recognize, Her eyes were covered and on both arms were snakes wrapping themselves around her arms and There stood Daisy eyes as grey as a stormy night with something black running between the cracks of her skins.

"That's what happens the night before you were born, "Nathan's voice vibrated through his mind. Cion pulled away from Vanica to see Nathan Standing in his bedroom with Vanica in his arm. He reaches out to touch her. "She's fine, she just needs to rest her mind is all over." He places her on the bed.

"What just happen?"

"You took a walk into her memory," Nathan told him.

"Her Memory?" Cion asked.

"They don't remember, Everything is scattered." He touches her face.

"They?"

"The Forbidden Four, When the time is right, They will but for now keep them safe," he uttered.

"Don't you think it's best they know that their parents are alive," Cion asked.

"It's for the best, This choice wasn't an easy one and one day they will know the truth but for now you need to get Black Hill back in your hand and the Forbidden Four back together. There's a War coming and Black Hill will be their Safe Heaven," he said starring at Cion.

"Back in my hand?"

"You and the Hills need to become one." He uttered before he disappears out of the room leaving cion more confused than he was before. That's when he realized he needs to take a walk into his grandfather study in the dungeon. The place he was forbidden to go and the place that calls to him at ever Midnight. Cion felt himself being pulled awake from his slumber as he flutters his eyes open to find Vanica starring at him.
