She had fallen asleep in one of the upper rooms she had been exploring dreaming though her dreams made little sense and vanished from even memory when she opened her eyes.
She hurried down the stairs and grabbed a heavy blanket and covered him to keep him warm.
Go get things for me to tend to the cuts and wounds. In the garden there is a silver trumpet looking flowers get get me a branch of them and the honey. We should also have the ink and some paper nearby just in case.
Touching his cheek she winced recoiling at the strange energy around him that actually hurt her.
She want pregnant she had been told she couldn't get pregnant but still his words she looked to Ambrose as he returned with what she asked for and went to work on Kieko.
She wondered if her magic could fix an damage. She had never thought about getting to be a parent outside of adoption but now this demon seems to be so sure. At least enough to clearly get Kieko thinking about it.
He pulled her into him and snuggled, who knows, but it wouldn't be a bad thing would it?
I am going to have to fight him and I may need your help
Together I think we can beat him, but I am afraid that I think his magic may be stronger here, and Gregory knows something about the first battle, and we need to understand that too
Ambrose bring him here. I have a strange feeling he is at the tavern... if he knows something and he has had to face the demon he is probably elbows deep in a fight or sanity deep in alcohol flooded blood. Please go drag him here.
She snuggled in his arms sinking deep into thought
She sat there with Kieko waiting for Gregory and Ambrose. When they walked in she looked to Gregory.
You have information you need to tell me?
Gregory stood there a little drunk but looked at her.
He knew we would go to the woods. He knew that I would join the fight in his time because the me from this time is the one that tried to save Helena and her sisters. He knew what was going to happen now back then. There is more about him and his powers than I realize. How much more does he know about the future and how?
He tried to negotiate because he knew you loved her. He knew you were a way to her. Had it been Ambrose who was there he would have negotiated with him. That is just how he is. How he always was.
You or Ambrose had to be there that was the only variable. Everyone else was absolutely supposed to be there. As for who he is to Leena and I since we are distant family...
He sighed.
He was my brother and I did not run off. I destroyed what would have made him unstoppable...Her great grandfather... His "battery" I released his tortur d soul which should weaken his spirit now.
With a flash he had Kieko pinned to a wall fangs bared.
So don't you ever think I ran off boy you are alive because I killed some of my own blood
He had been in pain and badly bruised, just wanting to rest, fed up with all of Gregory's fucking mysteries and half answers
The old vampire caught him by surprise and pinned him, but he also shot adrenaline and rage through the feline, Keiko was instantly transformed and in this state assumed an exaggerated size that only happened in extreme danger and need to defend
Only Ambrose had seen Keiko, and as Gregory flashed, Ambrose said "Uh oh" and he was not expressing concern for his lover
Instantly almost 300 pounds and 10 feet tall, he took on the dimensions of a massive tiger, four inch claws extended, mouth open and fangs extended, the look of kill in his eyes
He fliipped up his back paws and drove back against the wall and the two were suddenly airborn
The ferocity of Keiko's roar was deafening, "I am so fucking tired of you old man, your secrets, your fucked up family...I love your niece, I could give a shit about the rest of you, yet I am fighting your fight"
Now there were fangs bared on each throat and this was escalating fast both men lost in rage either could easily destroy the other
Ambrose stepped in, even in his rage he knew Keiko wouldn't hurt him and he slid his arm into Keiko's jaws
"No my friend, this does nothing, we are here for her, not him, do not forget that"
Ambrose was right and Keiko released...and stomped prowling...looking at Gregory in disgust...
I do not follow you, or listen to your orders one more second, if you want my help I need full disclosure...If you killed your blood, it is because your blood deserved it...I fight only for her..
A power she did not know she had. Her great grandfather she had heard about growing up. One of the few males born to the family line. That was all it took.
ENOUGH!!!GREGORY KIEKO ENOUGH!!
Kieko his brother used all of you his brother used my family my great grandfather is Gregory's family line too just as it is mine. You dont care for them how can you say you care for me without them there would be no me!
Gregory... wallowing n self pity over what is clearly a time magic is poi bless. The fact that you could not be the one to kill your brother I understand and thank younger freeing my rest grandfather from him. Now when do we have or should I say when do I have a war to prepare for because I will NOT abide pettiness from either of you. Is that clear gentlemen?
The air around her had the wolf guards outside charging in the recoiling from her.
