Sortie, Angel of Death Chapter 21

I stand in front of the King alpha oh the Lycanthropes keeping his mate in Willow’s protective circle. The realization of his sin made my heart race. He truly is a monster to even hurt the one you are bound to love for your entire life. My gut could not contain it any longer, “HAHAHAHA! So tell me ‘ALPHA’ what would happen if I drained her blood?” I tilted my head keeping my fangs close to the frail flesh of the neck.

“I would be carrying a dead body around the rest of my life,” the so called king announce.

“I do not believe that could happen for I would have her essence, her body would not.”

“Then I would be force to shackle you and her to me for life.”

“Awe that sounds annoying. I think, mind you this is just my thought, but I think if I killed her you would have an hour to live, an hour before her essence that I took becomes mine. Then you would die.”

“Do you wish to continue to live?”

“Why are you going to try and kill me?” his head nodded with the stern look with death warping his eyes. “HAHAHAHA, how silly of you to think I came to a fight unprepared. My little, wittle, Will, Will here as cast a itty bitty little spell. This bubble I am in is invisible but it is impossible to break through. She can sit here for days, months, years, so on and so on if she so chooses and I will forever be protected. Oh, and one more thing I have food right here.” Deciding to provoke the proud ‘king’ was to easy to miss.

“GRRRRRRRRRRRRRROWL!” his growl rang through the woods making me wonder how C. J. was holding up.

“Awe, is the big bad wolf mad? How long can you go with out touching? With out eating? With out being able to breath?” making my voice as childish as possible watching his face turn more into a fit of rage.

“What do you want blood sucker?”

“Easy, I want you all to die. You see I have no problem with destroying each and every one of you abominations but I want to know why you been following me? I want to know what I can do. For. You.” Punctuating the last couple words of the sentence to see his veins in his neck throb.

“I just came to retrieve my son, who has lost his way.”

“Oh?” deciding to act that I had no idea who this beast was or why he followed me I decided to provoke him further. “Do you have a picture I could see? May be I have seen him.”

“You have traveled with him.”

“Oh? What does he look like? Then I can tell you what travel partner he is.”

“Stop toying with me vampire. Do you not know who I am? Do you think you will be able to walk out of here alive?”

“NEWS FLASH: I am not alive nor do I much care if I die.”

“What of the mutt?” Willow let out a low snarl of warning as the wolf jolted back while still pointing his long finger at him.

“Will, Will will not die. To kill my little Will, Will you would need fire magic. Your flesh tells me you have none. Zip, Zero, None,” keeping my innocent act to see how far he would go.

“Oh? I could get one with that magic then,” with out even considering why I would give such information to an enemy caused my amusement to wain.

“HA! Wolfy’s little magic will not affect her nor will any one that would acknowledge your cause.”

“YOU SMUG LITTLE BITCH!” screaming to the top of his lungs causing the birds to flea quickly.

“Hey, that’s so unfair. What did your mate do to you to cause such bad language?”

“GRRRRRROWLLLL! HOOOOOOOWWWWWWL!” the look of his face made my body shake with complete laghter.

“Awe you are singing. You know your son liked to sing too when he was upset.”

“WHERE IS MY BOY!” his steps towards me made this situation’s humor raise.

“Well, some is in my tummy and some in Will, Will’s and some I gave to some nice wolves that smelt the fire from my camp out.” the words came from no where. Yet, the look of his face made me enjoy the fact I had lied, even when the mate in front of me whimpered.

“What?” his eyes widen and mouth open, clenching his fight repetitively.

“Oh you must be dense, I killed him at the first of the full moons. He tasted delicious.”

“HAHAHAHAAHAHA,” his laughter came as a maniac’s as it ripped through his throat, with fur starting to sprout. “You are insane if you think I would believe that story.”

“Oh, why would you refuse the truth?”

“Because vampires can not hunt well on full moons and I felt my son’s power he is strong. Vampires can not feed on a Lycanthrope or werewolf on the full moons.”

“Oh? Really? Hmmmmm, I guess it can not be helped then,” his brain seemed to finally caught some reason. Huh.

“You finally going to tell me the truth?”

“Yes,” I reply with a grin so wide that my fangs hang visible and my eyes narrowed.

“Good little sucker, and the truth is?” his body crossed it’s arms over his chest as his face lightened up.

“My name is Sortie,” the words fell out of my mouth just as his features followed. His legs wobbled and his arm fell to his sides. All the wolves stepped back with their fear making the air smell sweet. When his mate fainted I had to fight the urge to punch her. I know the rumors that follow after me but to think a ‘king’ or an ‘alpha’ would fear a small woman. HA! Priceless.

C. J.’s movement above us caused me to wonder if he wanted to join or became scared as well.

C. J.’s View

“My name is Sortie,” the whole world seemed to freeze. The group around her jumped back while the man that caused all of this stumbled back. Even the lady she held fainted. Is she really that big of a deal? Willow stayed still as the silence bothered me. Trying to move gently as the shock of the world continued to shake. When she said he eat me or killed me I had to fight the urge to laugh but this seems eerie.

“Jame would you like to help now?” Shorty asked in my head indicating she knew I was restless.

“Colossus, I could get the minions but the stronger will only feel weak,” a smooth voice said in my head.

“That would be fine just do not aim it at Will or I,” she replied smoothly. My body’s nerves shivered and a switch in my head went off causing my vision go black. Then a bitter sweet melody came from inside of me. The words made no sense but the power that came from them swelled me. The sounds of bodies falling told me that Jame was doing death magic. The pain and agony that came from the dying filled me with a fullness that was addicting. My stomach twisted as if food was settling in it, causing my being to fill with power. It feels amazing.

My senses of each heart beating drew a map of every thing with out sight. The earth called me as I felt the power call for it to absorb the life forces. The trees begged for the cloud to quench their thirst causing the movements of my body to call for a storm. The silence of the world was filled with voices and languages I could not understand but my body knew what it was saying. The world began to restore the power of ancient times before modern messes changed it. In my mind I could feel ever once of the beauty this place offered. It was a drug in it own right.

When a voice called out from below, heavy in pain made be realize that Jame was still singing the song of death.

“How did you find a Nymph?” the heavy voice yelled. “I searched every where and killed all of them, how?”

“Ah, you seem to forget that I do not look for supers to use and keep,” Shorty snipped.

“HOW! URGH!”

“You must be in pain, you are the one who wishes to find a nymph.”

“NO! I… ugggh… Only… looking for my…. Son….”

“Who is a nymph.”

“Lycan… thrope.”

“And nymph, Jame stop the song the king seems to want to meet the nymph who can take on his whole pack with out ever being seen.”

With a quick just I jumped down to meet eye to eye the man who claimed me as his son. The look in his eyes shown a terror that I never cared to know. I walked next to Shorty as Willow lowered the shield. The woman in front of us was still breathing, yet still could not open her eyes. My heart felt cold as I looked into the eyes of the man who I never wanted to meet. Standing tall I look at Shorty who just kept her eyes glued on the raving idiot screaming about how I am not his son and bring out the boy that would look like him.

“You really are dumb,” Shorty’s words stopped his rant only for her to let out a roar before snapping the lady’s neck then lunging at him sinking her teeth deep into his neck. Her face came up shortly with blood dripping down her face while she grinned. “You did good kid, you did good.”
