Walking with the Vampire |COMPLETE|

3. Voices

The perks of being a spirit, there were some good ones. Like no one had the ability to see them when the spirits doesn't want them to. Another example, a spirit didn't  need a door. Why would they when they could walk through objects? This made its difficult to keep secrets from them because you can't see them and doors or walls don't work. However in the den of wolves, things were a little different since the wolves had the gift to see spirits regardless of whether they wanted to be seen or not. But they didn't care about what she did making it easy for her to know a lot about what was happening around camp, which really was nothing much. Today was not such a day however. Valentina had been gone for about an hour and a lot already happened.
They had a visitor who was a vampire and Osei and Semi had been ambushed by a demonic army; so much happened in so little time!
'I leave for two minutes and all hell breaks loose.' Valentina complained to Semi.

'You've been gone for more than that Val.' Semi nicely pointed out quietly mixing the pot of witch's brew.
'What have you been up to?' Semi asked her.

Valentina hid behind a smile. She waved away Semiramis' concerns because she didn't want to reveal what she'd been up to these couple of months. Some secrets, before they were told, required a great amount of courage and a stable mind. Both of which Valentina didn't quite possess at the moment.

'Darling, I haven't been up to anything. I'm just bored.'

Semi fully understood her to some extent yet if she had said it was impossible to be bored here she'd be right. There was so much going on with spies and rogue vampires.
But also, Semi also had Osei and the wolves to keep her entertained and preoccupied. Luckily she understood the wolves and could get into whatever subject intrigued the pack or whatever drama was cooking. Also, with her pregnancy Semi's plate was full.
Valentina handed her the picture she was tethered to. The picture of her childhood friend Aaron Lynch has been the anchor that brought Valentina from limbo and back into the human realm.

'We could practice spells, the spells you taught me came in handy today.'
Ah training. This was the best way Valentina spent most of her days at the camp. Practicing with Semi. That was fun, especially when Semi managed to make a fool of herself. Explains why she was cooking up her Gemma's famous brew.

'Of course. Whenever you can get away from Osei.'
Semi slyly smiled at Valentina. The two ladies knew how much Osei hated Semi practicing the spells. His primary argument? She could get hurt.
Maybe 'hated' was a strong word, disliked was a better substitute. But Semi sometimes had her way with him. The two of them have come to trust, depend and love each other so much it was beautiful. They'd become inseparable it was really cute. If only Osei had met her before he'd met Danielle the murderous heartbreaker.
Thankfully he'd been able to open himself to Semi and trusted her entirely.
That's when a small frown crossed Valentina's beautiful features.

'So what's the meeting about? And why are you out here and not in there.'
Semi was Osei's confidant and advisor along with Malaki, Loki and Athene. It was weird that she wasn't in there with him.
They didn't get a lot of visitors in the cabin but when they did Semi was always by Osei's side.
The cabin was two storey, the upper floor containing the master bedroom Semi shared with Osei. The lower floor must be where the meeting was taking place.

She smiled ruefully before replying.
Valentina didn't have all her attention; she could tell that from Semi's eyes.
'The visitor wants Osei to help him protect the humans from potential evil. And Osei said the humans don't need saving because they too are evil; they could coexist.'
Valentina shook her head. Typical Osei, she'd expect nothing less from him.

'Osei didn't want me in there because he doesn't like the way the silver-eyed bloodsucker looks at me.'

Val stopped listening to Semi after that.
A silver-eyed vampire? The description was one that Valentina associated to a never-forgotten face from her past.
