"What should we do, then?" Artemis looks at me, expectedly. To be honest, I'm dumbfounded. When we first got here, our mission was to try and get back to our Time. Then, we went through a betrayal that caused us to find what would happen to us if we went back so soon. The only thing we can do is.....
"We need to find Ambrosia and Lilith." Everyone's attention goes to Belle. I narrow my eyes at her. "What do you mean 'we'?" Belle walks slowly and says, "All of us need to go. I know how you and Jannelle feel about going up against them, but we could help you two." I shake my head.
"It's too dangerous. Our descendants aren't even close to having all of their powers. They haven't been properly trained. The only people we have on our side is Micro, Amelia, and maybe Celeste." As soon as I say her name, Celeste walks up and puts her two cents in. "I'm very skilled fighting. I've been alive for over 100 years and-" Jannelle interrupts her.
"I can't tell. You nearly died to Lilith. I don't think you're fit to fight in the front lines if we decide to let you guys join us in this mission." Celeste is clearly offended by this as she begins to have a tantrum. She stomps up to me and Jannelle and puts her finger in our faces.
"I'm better than all of your descendants combined. You haven't seen any of my abilities or my fighting style. You have no right to say I'm not fit to fight with you guys." Belle goes to her and put her hands on her temples. As soon as she does, a crystal ball shows all of what happened between her and Lilith. As we all Celeste's body get thrown across the room, I snicker.Celeste snaps her neck to look at me and asks, "What's so goddamn funny?" I hold my mouth to trap the laughter. She narrows her eyes at me and I say, "She threw your body like a rag doll." I holler and everyone else covers their mouths to stop themselves from laughing. Micro burst out laughing and starts wheezing. The whole room is filled with laughter and Celeste glares at all of us. I hear a distant thud come from under us. All vampire heads direct their attention to the floor towards the sound.
"Where's the Valkyrie?" I ask Micro and he says in the basement. All of us head down to the basement and stop in front of the stairs leading into the basement. I pull my Rose of Death out and hold it 90 degrees vertical in front of me. I walk down the stairs and expecting it, a shield is thrown at us. I block it but my blade slit my other hand. I snarl in disgust.
This bitch
The valkyrie's eyes are wide with bewilderment and her sword was in hand. She stares at me but with a disgusted look. I stare back at her with a nonchalant gaze. This was interesting to me. I've met a few valkyries in my life and this one is almost like the rest of them. Almost. Valkyries never really have relationships with anyone.....her on the other hand, most definitely had one with Micro.
"You can't keep me hear, I am one of the highest ranked Valkyries in-" I interrupt her. Putting my rapier back, I say, "Yeah, I don't remember asking." She opens her mouth and closes it like a fish in shock. I am ten steps away from her. Crossing my arms, I ask, "You're different from the rest of the Valkyries. You had a relationship with a human." As soon as I said it, her wings flared from her back and she got in a fighting stance.
"I have to kill you. You will cause me to get demoted." I roll my eyes.
"I'm not going to tell anyone but only if you help us out with our little problem. You see, we're not the ones who stole the Book of Blood. This Book is from this time, the one that was stolen is in my mother's hands. I open my hand and the Book floats to me and show her the fading pages. She seemed awestruck as she asks, "Is that actually it?" I nod.
She closes her eyes and breathes. Her wings fold and disappear. Her bewildered look disappeared and she opened her eyes again.
"You know what? I will listen to your side of the version. It's only right. That's what we were going to do to begin with. So, how did this all start? I want to hear it from someone who isn't biased by their......parents." She looks me up and down. Olivia puts her hand on my back and says, "Ignore her condescending comment. I know better than most about the whole situation, so I'll tell her." Olivia floated up to the Valkyrie. She becomes solid and floats to her feet.
"I will tell you everything that you need to know. I will only mention a fight if it had any lasting effects. I recommend the rest of you leave while I go over this whole situation, especially our little descendants." Everyone begins to file out of the basement. I was the last one and I stared at the valkyrie......well......Alexandria.
