"Ok..." Holden said as he felt someone coming.
"Serus, be nice he helped us before. And those damn kids are driving me nuts." The man said rubbing his temples. "Especially Annemarie. She just has to make out with every single boy." He said finally looking to Solomon. "Sorry Solomon, so what do you need?" He asked with a smile. Holden looked at the man, "He's cute but not as cute as my Solomon." He thought to himself. |
Solomon glanced at Holden, swatting him telepathically, "You watch it Holden, not only am I possessive, so is Serus." Solomon smiled a bit to Serus, "You haven't changed~ I was hoping that the..incident would've given you a new attitude towards life. but seeing as it hasn't, how have you been? I haven't heard from you since the take over about..what..eight years?"
Serus gave the Strigoi in the room a slight glare, "Hands off..I mean it." She gave Solomon a slight smile as he addressed her, "I'm doing good. I see your arm came back, that's good. Any issues with nerves? From the looks of it it's pretty solid. Other than that whole issue, things have been good...I have two wonderful daughters; twins.." The way she flatly stated it seemed like the was a bit..annoyed about them "And who is this~ Last I heard, you were single while in America. Where'd you find this one?" She shook her head, holding up her hand, "As much as I'd like to catch up, we should stay on topic. What is it that you need help with Solomon?" He nodded, flexing his arm and fingers, showing no signs of misconnections and the likes, "Well, I didn't regrow it, I reattached it. It's not the first time I've lost a limb, and certainly not the last. Holden? Well, our friend Alicia set us up on a blind date and that's how that happened. Anyway, I was hoping you could enlighten me on the whole..issue about non-Pures. Why is the Head Council suddenly doing this?" |
"Yes ma'am." Holden said while he listened to Solomon and Serus.
"Holden?" Amanda said walking into the room. "Crap, yes what is it Amanda?" He asked as he quickly swept the bottles off of the table and into his hands. He gently placed them on the floor and went over to Amanda. "I'm tired." She said rubbing her eyes. "Go lay down on the couch in the living room, I will get you when I'm ready to go." He said with a smile. Amanda nodded and went to the living room. Holden went back to the chair and sat down. "Thanks for the complement Holden." Seth said with a smile. He leaned his head to the side to crack it. "Alicia Winters? Ah she is a good kid. Her father and mother are assholes. Wait honey, didn't they come in and talk to us about a human who knew of vampires." Seth said thinking for a second. "They have always had a problem with non-Pures. They think that they will expose us, and would bring and end to all vampires." He said with a sigh. "Strigoi's are ok in my book, I mean my best friend is one. Anyway I think I will let Serus take over, she is always better at explaining things then I am." Seth said as he took a seat in an empty chair. |
"Joesph and Jennifer are dead..." Solomon stated flatly as they were mentioned, "I killed her father and..she finished off her mother while I was getting Holden to a safe place." He sighed a bit, becoming rather tense as he sensed his sister nearby, "Oh no..dammit.."
Hayden hurried out and jumped into Solomon's arms, wrapping her own around his shoulders, "Anne is wonderful~ You should give her a raise~" She turned her head, noticing the two very powerful vampires in the room. She quickly hid her face; they had 'Council' written all over their minds. "S-solo..I..I thought you s-said..." Solomon sighed deeply as he held Hayden, "They're not here for you; they're here to help me." He ran his hand through her hair with a smile. Serus smiled a bit, "Solomon, I didn't know you had a da..wait a minute. That face." She gently turned Hayden so she could see the girl's face, "S-Solomon...y-you didn't..not even I would dare do such a thing. I thought she was..." She stepped back, sensing they were both uncomfortable, "Either way, it's good to see you two together again. Perhaps you can come play with the Twins the next time you visit America? I'm sure they'd love to meet you and get out of my hair." She then began to address the matter, "Seth is right, the Romanians have always been wary of Strigois and Vampirs. They..do have cause though. Humans are not well known for their acceptance of a predator to their well-being; yet alone being able to handle becoming one. I'm surprised that Felix and Holden managed to make it through the change so easily. Most of the time, Strigois and Vampirs-after they turn 18- end up becoming so aggressive and blood crazy they have to..be put down so to say. It's very rare for two Strigois to have a child though, the woman's body just does not react well to having a human child in their system. More often than not, the child dies within two months after conception and a dried up carcass is then removed." She sighed a bit, running her hand through her pale hair, "Not to mention; it's rather surprising that Jason made it past his parent's deaths. He should've been killed there as well, why he wasn't only the assassin knows. Yes Solomon, I know his name. I've been keeping tabs on him. He is a rather sweet child, for now at least." She glanced to Holden then went back to looking at Solomon, "The Council's aim is to get rid of any more risks to our race's secrecy and work on purifying the blood lines back to their original prowess. For example, all elementals in my clan are currently in the process of moving to either the Murai or the remnants of the Raksasha clan...and their Psychics are moving, and so on and so forth. Not only that, they're weeding out many of the weaker vampires, strengthening the lines and working on keeping only the ones with the clan's respective powers. It's just one huge fucking mess." Hayden whined a bit as Serus grabbed her and examined her. Did everyone know of her? She pushed herself into Solomon, hiding her face. Solomon sighed deeply as Serus spoke, "As I thought...Ya'lize just spontaneously did this? That's..well..actually that's typical of him. Is there anything we can do to stop it? Or at least, how can I protect Jason and Holden? You're devious, what can be done?" |
"Honey technically you aren't a pure anymore." Seth said teleporting next to Holden. He adjusted his eyes, "Ah you are very special boy. Your aura is remarkable." He said as he looked back at Serus. "Show me your teeth." He said opening Holden's mouth.
Holden felt odd that his mouth was pulled open. He did as he was told and grew his teeth. "Ah remarkable." Seth said as his eyes brightened up. "You know what I'm gonna ask, don't you honey?" He said standing up and looking at Serus. He quickly teleported back by Serus. He sighed, "Damn it you three be good." Seth said with a growl. "Damn children." Seth said as his eye twitched. |
Serus frowned as Seth oh so kindly reminded her, "No shit Seth. I know that, and technically, I never was. Keiara turned me when I was 19; a very strange thing for her to do considering before I..was burned to death I was a witch; making me a Strigoi viu." She shrugged, she needn't go into details, Solomon knew a lot about her and vise versa after all. "Which is precisely why I'm against this motion, as is the entire American Council. England and Germany are also with us as far as I know; I'm still waiting for word from France, Africa and Australia. I haven't been able to contact the other countries yet." She sighed, "I'm sorry you were brought into our world at this time Holden, there isn't usually this much chaos. As for what can be done, well..you remember what happened in America, don't you?" She looked to Seth with a dark grin, "Yes, and yes."
Solomon tilted his head, "Ah, that's right, you're no longer a viu." "A Strigoi viu is a witch turned vampire. Very rare." he told Holden, to make sure he wasn't left completely in the dark. He looked back to Serus, "I do, but I'm not looking forward to participating...although, if I can get her," He motioned to Hayden, "under control, perhaps we will assist you." Hayden sat up, a pout on her face, "I am in total control, thank you." |
"Yes, ah I missed fighting. Even thought Azriel kick our asses." Seth shuddered. "Hun, do you want me to go and talk to Jean-Pierre?" He asked. "Holden, do you speak French? Cause if you do I will need your help." Seth said looking at Holden.
"I see." Holden said still confused. "It's fine ma'am" He said feeling oh so out of place right now. "Yes sir I do." He said nodding. "Ah sweet. Call me Seth, I don't like sir." Seth said with a smile. "Solomon, is it ok if I take him with me? You know he is in good hands." He said waiting for Solomon's response. |
Solomon shrugged, "It's Holden's decision. Either way, I speak Swahili as well as many of the other African languages Serus, I can come with you to Africa?"
Serus shook her head, "I'm fluent myself. I need you to stay here with Jason and your sister. I need to be sure those two are safe as well; especially Hayden; she will be one of our greatest assets...not to just use you for that Hayden." With that, she disappeared to continue talking to the other Councils. Hayden frowned, "I'm not just a weapon Serus Antinori." Before she could say more, the strange vampire was gone. She sighed, hugging Solomon tightly, "I-I'm not..j-just a weapon." She sniffled, trying to hold back her tears. Solomon held her close with a sigh, "No, you're not, and Serus knows, she's just..not very good with children. Her own have destroyed that...little bastards they are--no offense Seth." |
"None taken. It's the damn twins, god they are just..." Seth trailed off with a sigh. "GODDAMN IT YOU THREE I SAID BEHAVE!" He said as his eyes turned red. "I love them to death, but I so wish I could just get away from them. They just swarm in my head." He said moving his hands around his head. He sighed and quickly recomposed himself, "Sorry. Anyways wanna come Holden? And maybe I can help you with some of your elemental powers, of course if that is ok with you Solomon." Seth said as his eyes turned back to their normal light brown.
"Um sure I guess. Solomon please watch Amanda, and Jason." Holden said as he stood up and walked close to Solomon. He placed a quick kiss on his cheek. "Hayden can you help him with that please?" Holden asked with a smile. He walked over to Seth, "Ready." Holden said. |
"Do what you want, you know how lazy I am.." He smiled slightly, intercepting Holden's kiss with his lips,"If anything, Amanda, Jason and I will be chasing after her naughty ass." He smiled a bit, giving Hayden a kiss on her forehead, "You know I love you~ So no need to pout~" He looked to Seth, "Ah, can you contact Serus for me? She's being a bitch and blocking me," The way he said bitch was not in a degrading manor, just a matter-of-fact sort of thing; as that was exactly what she was doing; and doing it on purpose. "I forgot to ask her about Hayden. Just tell her to come back here when she's done. Alright?" He then waved his hand, shooing them, "Go, the sooner the better."
|
"She's blocking me as well, damn woman." Seth said with a smile. "She will most likely come back here anyway." He said as he put his hand on Holden's shoulder. Seth teleported to the French council. "Now I understand French, I just can't speak it. So don't fuck me over by saying something I didn't say. Understand?" Seth asked.
"I wont." Holden said looking down. "Come on I'm not that mean, it's just this damn World Council business." He said as he entered the main hall. "Ah Master Jean-Pierre, it is nice to see you again. And thank you for meeting with me at such a late hour." Seth said waiting for Holden to translate. "Ah Maître Jean-Pierre, il est bon de vous revoir. Et merci à vous pour une réunion avec moi à une heure aussi tardive." "Il est bon de vous revoir Seth. (It is good to see you again Seth.)" The man in the head chair said. "I'm sure you know why I am here. The damn Romanian council is at it again, and I would like to know if we have your support in taking out that outdated council." "Je suis sûr que vous savez pourquoi je suis ici. Le conseil damn roumaine est à nouveau, et je voudrais savoir si nous avons votre soutien dans la prise que le conseil dépassées." Oui je ne Seth, j'ai été en discuter avec mes dirigeants individuels. Nous avons décidé que, s'il ya une place pour moi sur le conseil du nouveau monde, nous aidera. (Yes I do Seth, I have been discussing it with my individual leaders. We have decided that if there is a spot for me on the new world council we will help.)" Jean-Pierre said. "There certainly is a spot for you master." Seth said with a smile. "Il ya certainement une place pour vous maître." "Alors buvons à cette occasion tout-puissant. (Then let us drink to this almighty occasion. )" He said holding up his glass. "Oui." Seth said with a bow. "Good job kid." He said looking to Holden. "Thanks." Holden said as he bowed to the master. |
Solomon kept himself busy with Amanda and Jason and his sister. His sister did most of the work entertaining the kids, which was fine by him. He was exhausted and wanted to sleep. He really wanted to talk to Serus though, but had no idea when she'd return.
Serus appeared in the kitchen, peering over to make sure the human had not seen. Once she was sure it was safe, she came out, her hands in her pockets, "Goed, that' behandeld s. I' ve kreeg Afrika aan onze kant, maar Australië won' t geeft nog me een antwoord(Well, that's taken care of. I've got Africa on our side, but Australia won't give me an answer yet).." She sat down on a couch, looking to Solomon curiously, "Wat was het over Hayden u wilde spreken aan me over?(What was it about Hayden you wanted to speak to me about)?" Solomon jumped a bit as she began to speak Dutch, wondering how she knew that Hayden did not speak it. He hadn't spoken Dutch in a long time, so he was a bit rusty, "Goed, was ik benieuwd of kon u me met haar helpen. .lust en nieuwigheid. Alles I' geprobeerd ve schijnt om het slechter te maken. Ik ken you' aangaande een meester bij de hersenen; meer zo dan ben ik, en hoopte ik u haar kon op de een of andere manier bevestigen? Ik zal hulp hoe dan ook ik, natuurlijk kan.(Well, I was wondering if you could help me with her..lust and craze. Everything I've tried seems to make it worse. I know you're a master at the brain; more so than I am, and I was hoping you could somehow fix her? I'll help anyway I can, naturally)." He glanced to Jason, wondering if he could speak Dutch before turning his attention to Serus, "Of zelfs als u haar kon herstellen op de een of andere manier, zodat kan zij geestelijk nu verouderen, dat eveneens fijn zou zijn. Ik ben zeker zij controle kon leren als zij kon geestelijk groeien.(Or even if you could restore her somehow, so she can age mentally now, that would be fine as well. I am sure she could learn control if she was able to grow mentally.)" Serus was silent for a moment as she thought, "Goed, zal ik haar een beetje, en I don' moeten vrij onderzoeken; t weet hoe lang dat zal duren. Als ik kan, zal ik u helpen. Ik ben voor alle dingen verschuldigd u voor me Solomon hebt gedaan.(Well, I will have to examine her quite a bit, and I don't know how long that will take. If I can, I will help you. I owe for all the things you have done for me Solomon)." She smiled a bit, watching the kids run around, "Ik wens slechts dit de Tweelingen stil waren dit wanneer zij over… stoeien(I only wish the Twins were this quiet when they are romping about...)" She chuckled slightly, standing up and giving Solomon a hug, "Is in orde het als ik haar dan met me neem? Het zal gemakkelijker zijn om haar te helpen als ik in volledig horloge van haar was.(Is it okay if I take her with me then? It will be easier to help her if I was in full watch of her)." Solomon nodded, standing up as she did and giving her a slight squeeze as well, "Of course. Hayden! Come here please!" He picked her up as she came over reverting to German; Hayden's favorite language, "Serus wird Sie versuchen und helfen, wie ich zu ging. Bitte arbeiten Sie zusammen und tun Sie, wie sie sagt? Sie können an einigen Tagen zurückkommen, als sie fertig ist. O.K.(Serus is going to try and help you like I was going to. Please cooperate and do as she says? You can come back in a few days when she is finished. Okay)?" Hayden was mildly displeased, but nodded, "Da. Als dat betekent kan ik al beter zijn, dan zal ik gaan.(Yes. If that means I can be all better, then I will go.)" She jumped from Solomon's arms, going over to Serus, "Ich bin bereit(I'm ready)..." She looked back at Solomon with a smile, "Ich bringe ein nagelneues Mädchen zurück(I shall return a brand new person)~" Serus smiled, picking Hayden up, "Sorgen Sie sich nicht Hayden, ich verletzt Sie nicht. Solomon würde mich töten, wenn ich sich trauen sollte.(Don't worry Hayden, I won't hurt you. Solomon would kill me if I were to dare.)" With that, she took Hayden to the kitchen then disappeared with her. |
Jason looked at Solomon when Serus and Hayden left, "Wanneer komt papa terug? (When is daddy coming back?)" He asked in Dutch as he walked over to the couch. He looked at Amanda who was sleeping. "Um ah!" He said putting his finger on his chin. "Weißt du, warum ich all diese Sprachen lernen? (Do you know why I know all of these languages?)" He asked this time in German. Jason didn't know which language Solomon prefered, so he chose both that he just heard.
Seth smiled as he left the main council room, "You did good kid. Now I think we shall go to Spain. But first I would like to help you with your elements." He said as he went out the main door. "That sounds like a plan." Holden said with a smile. Suddenly a man appeared in front of Seth and Holden. "Please don't tell me that the girls sent you." Seth said pinching his nose. "No Seth, I was just bored and I wanted to see if you needed help. Well who is this?" The man said sniffing the air around Holden. "This is Holden, Solomon's boyfriend. Holden this is my brother Sean." Seth said looking around for a place to train Holden. "Ah Holden it is nice to meet you. Ah you can shape shift, I can help you with that. I mean I did master it." Sean said with a smile. "It's nice to meet you to Sean." Holden said slightly excited. "Sean I was gonna teach him the elements." He said crossing his arms. "We can share him you know." Sean said eying Holden up and down. "Sean, don't do that. I know you experimented when you were in Germany but you are with Jen right now. Plus Solomon would kick your ass if you touched Holden in a sexual way." Seth said closing his eyes. "Ya your right, and I don't feel like fighting right now. Soo where shall we go to train?" Sean asked looking to Seth. "Let's go to the clan house in Washington." Seth said looking to Holden. Holden felt extremely violated when Sean looked him up and down. "I um don't care. You two are older then me, and therefor have seniority over me." Holden said looking down. "Solomon I am stealing Holden for a few days to train him." He said. "Ok then Washington here we come." Seth said as he grabbed Holden and Sean's shoulders, and teleporting to Washington. |
"We don't have a few days Seth, you're going to have to give him a crash course; or go to Spain first. We have to gather our allies first and foremost." He narrowed his eyes slightly at Jason, slightly peeved that he had been eavesdropping, "I don't know, and right now I don't care. Go sleep or something..I'm a little busy." He stood from his chair, heading off down the hall to a study, shutting the door and blocking it off telepathically.
|
"Your right Solomon, sorry." Seth said as he landed in Washington. "We need to go to Spain. Sean if you want you can give him a crash course in shape shifting, and maybe you can show him your form of martial arts. We will need his help." He said. "Ah I will be back in a second, I just hope my kids don't sense me." He said with a shudder. He quickly disappeared.
"Fine. Ok, Holden. To shape shift into an animal, you need to picture and concentrate on the animal you wanna turn into. This is why when you first transformed you 'lost' your humanness." Sean said as he turned into a white tiger. "Now the white tiger is mine, so you will have to figure something else out." He said as he licked his paw. "Ok umm, I have never seen this animal but I know it is out there." Holden said as he pictured and concentrated on the animal. His body started to transform, it was slow but fast. Within moments he was a white panther, "What do you think?" He asked looking at Sean with yellow eyes. "Very good, now to turn back you have to picture yourself and concentrate." Sean said as he turned back into his human form. "But I don't wanna turn back yet." Holden said. "You have to, now come on we have work to do." Sean said putting his hands on his hips. "Fine." Holden said as he concentrated. He stretched his back when he was in his human form. "At least my clothes weren't destroyed this time." He said looking at his clothes. "Ya it's weird when you transform on your own your clothes stay intact, but when you transform by force you clothes get torn to pieces." Sean said with a smile. "Ok now, I am gonna give you how to do my ancient form of martial arts. With that comes how to use weapons, and your confidence will grow. By a lot." He said as he put his hand on Holden's head. "Ok." Holden said as he felt his strength, agility, and confidence grow. He closed his eyes when Sean took his hand away, "Well I certainly do feel different." Holden said opening his eyes. Seth reappeared, "Damn kids, they figured out I was there to grab my swords. Here you go Sean, and one for you Holden. So did Sean help you at all?" He asked as he clipped his sword to his belt. "Thanks, and ya. I feel stronger now, and I know how to shape shift." Holden said with a smile as he clipped the sword to his belt. "Good, now let's head to Spain." Seth said as he put his hands on Sean and Holden. Seth teleported to Spain. |
Solomon let out a sigh, "Quit dinking around you three..." It was oddly quiet without Hayden or Holden around. He frowned a bit, so much for spending time with Holden.
Serus appeared in the study with Solomon, her one leg crossed over the other; as she appeared on the couch. "Well, I have news about Hayden...just relax, she's fine, she's sleeping right now. Her mind is badly damaged from the years of abuse and meddling. I can't fix her completely, but..I think I can do something about her lust at least...I can try to mellow her out, but most of this will need to be done through her own will power. Her unwillingness to 'grow up' is her defense mechanism, as I'm sure you know. The first decade or so of her life was, in her eyes, the best so she continues to live in that mindset to protect her conscious...again, I know you know all of this. but she needs to come out of it herself, I can't make her." She stood, smoothing her black dress. Solomon sighed, nodding as she spoke, "Yes, I know, but I can't coax her out of it..I don't want to shock her out of it either, that'll end up backfiring. Anything that you can do for her is greatly appreciated Serus. Thank you." He stood as well, giving her a quick hug, "Just keep me posted okay?" Serus smiled, "It's no problem really. I love an opportunity to study the mind~" With that, she disappeared. |
Seth appeared in Spain, "Ok Holden the Spanish are slightly weird. Master Felipe, if he so chooses, he will choose one of us to fight one of his fledglings." He said with a sigh. "And he will most likely choose you, don't worry though, you just have to disarm your opponent." He said as he grabbed the door handles.
"Wait, what! I can't do that." Holden said a little nervous. "You have to Holden, if you don't it will be a sign of disrespect to his council. And we will all die, and that is if you say no. You don't wanna know what will happen if you loose." Seth said turning the door handles. Holden's eye's got wide. "Solomon what did I get myself into?" He asked scared. Seth opened the doors and walked in. When he made it to the middle of the room he bowed. "Buenas noches, Maestro Felipe. Gracias por recibirme. (Good evening Master Felipe. Thank you for seeing me.)" He said as he stood up. "Es bueno ver que el co-presidente del Consejo Americano tiene modales. (It is good to see that the co-chair of the American Council has manners.)" The man said. "Gracias maestro. Espero que sepas por qué estoy aquí. (Thank you master. I hope you know why I am here.)" Seth said. "Sí que hago. Estás aquí para ver si me uniré a su campaña para acabar con el Consejo Mundial. (Yes I do. You're here to see if I will join your campaign to take down the world council.)" The black hared vampire said. "Sí, amo. ¿Estás listo para ayudarnos maestro? (Yes master. Are you up to help us master?)" Seth asked. "Mi joven Seth, usted sabe que no es tan fácil. Su incipiente jóvenes de más habrá que llegar a duelo mi joven novato Alberto. (My young Seth, you know it is not that easy. Your young fledgling over there will have to duel my young fledgling Alberto.)" The man said with a evil smile. "Yo conozco a este señor. ¿A dónde quiere al niño a cambiar? (I do know this master. Where do you want the boy to change?)" Seth asked looking to Holden. "Al final del pasillo, su equipo ya está allí. (Down the hall, his outfit is already in there.)" The man said shooing them away. "Gracias maestro. (Thank you master.)" Seth said as he pushed Holden and Sean out of the room and down the hall. |
"You told him you spoke French...you should've let me go instead~" He chuckled a bit, sensing Holden's apprehension, "You'll do fine, love, I promise~"
|
"Yes but I didn't know I was gonna be fighting someone." Holden said as he was pushed into a room.
"Ok now Holden change quickly." Seth said closing the door. "But..." He said as the door closed. He grabbed the cream colored outfit. "Well, this looks like it will be snug." Holden said as he took off his clothes. He went out the door about fifteen minutes later. "I feel so out of place." Holden said motioning to his outfit. Seth held back laughing, "Don't be your opponent will be wearing the same type of outfit." He said as he put his arm around Holden's neck. "Now, you know how to fight. You just need to let your mind tell you what to do." He said with a smile. They reached the door, "You ready?" |
[[Nothing to post]]
|
"I guess." Holden said.
"Good." Seth said as he opened the doors. He led Holden in, Seth went over to one of the empty chairs. "Ahora, los jóvenes Strigoi ¿estás listo para pelear mi apprentance más excepcionales? (Now young Strigoi are you ready to fight my most exceptional apprentance?)" The man asked. "Sí Maestro. (Yes Master.)" Holden said nervously. "Alberto." The man yelled with a clap. A young blonde hared man walked out of the shadows. He walked up to Holden and drew his sword. Holden gulped and pulled out his sword. The blonde hared man quickly striked. Quickly going for Holden's legs. Holden quickly moved out of the way. "How did I..?" He started to say but got pushed back by TK. The young man smiled evilly, and sent a blast of TK at Holden. He quickly moved so he was standing in front of Holden. Holden flew into the big wooden doors. He stood up and the man was standing in front of him. He quickly grabbed his sword from the floor and went at the man. The man quickly blocked Holden's sword. He lunged at Holden, as he did so he quickly swept at Holden's feet. Holden quickly ducked, he quickly rolled away from the man. "Holden let your mind take over your movements." Seth yelled. Holden nodded and stood up. He waited for the man to turn to him, when the man did he quickly teleported behind the man and grabbed him by the neck. He swiftly kneeled down sending the man's back into his knee, hard. He jammed the sword into the man's leg and jumped away. The man's back was fractured, he winced when the sword went through his leg. He moved his hand to his back and grabbed a dagger. He waited until Holden was in the air. He quickly threw it sending it at Holden. When Holden landed he fell to his knees. The dagger landed in his chest. "That wasn't fair." He said as he pulled out the dagger. He grunted as the wound healed. He looked up and his eyes were glowing red, he put the knife in his mouth. He bowed his arms and quickly sent a TK blast at the man. The man was trying to get the sword out of his leg but was thrown back into the wall. The force broke his back in multiple areas. He flew forward after he hit the wall, landing on his face. Holden quickly teleported so he was standing behind the man. He crouched down over the mans back, he quickly lifted the mans head and snapped it like a twig. He pulled the dagger out of his mouth and stabbed it in the mans jugular. "Suficiente, el joven Holden. Has luchado con valentía y me han demostrado que se puede luchar. Sería un honor para luchar junto a usted y Seth. (Enough, young Holden. You have fought bravely and have shown me that you can fight. I would be honored to fight along side you and Seth.)" The head said. Holden looked at the head with red eyes. Seth ran up to Holden, "You did it kid, now get off of him." He said pulling Holden off of the man. A low growl came from Holden as he was stood up. "Stop it." Seth said as he slapped Holden upside the head. "Let's go and get you some rest." He said stepping over the man. He looked at the head, "Gracias maestro, le diremos cuando la batalla comenzará.(Thank you master, we will tell you when the battle will commence.)" Seth said with a small bow. Holden waited until they were out of the room, "You didn't have to hit me." He said slightly yelling. "Well you need to learn how to go back to normal after you fight." Seth said as he teleported himself, Sean, and Holden back to Solomon's house. |
Solomon stared flatly at Seth for a long moment, obviously displeased, "I thought I made it clear, no harm was to come to Holden? I do not care what the damn Spaniard's customs are; Holden is not a fighter. Giving him knowledge does not give him skill nor power." He crossed his arms over his chest, giving Seth a hard stare, "Your wife probably wants to talk to you...planning most likely."
|
Seth sighed, "He is fine Solomon, I was protecting him the whole time. Even the dagger I changed its trajectory." He said rubbing his hand through his hair as he nodded. "I will see you soon Solomon. Holden thanks for all your help." Seth said turning to Sean and disappearing.
"Solomon don't be mad at Seth. Please?" Holden said still wearing the outfit. "I wish he would of let me change first before we came back." He said looking down. "I could of said no but I didn't. Not saying that you don't, but it felt good someone having confidence in me." He said with a small smile. "Are you mad at me?" Holden asked with a slight frown. |
He smiled, "I'm not mad at you Holden." He stood, walking over and giving Holden a hug and kiss on the lips, "I must say though, even you can pull of that ridiculous outfit~ I have so much faith in you Holden, you have such potential to be a wonderful vampire..I just..worry is all."

Holden kissed Solomon back, "I know I can, I'm thinking of buying a whole bunch of them." He said with a laugh. "I know you do, and I worry about you." He said with a smile. "Did you see me kick that other vampires ass?" He asked leaning his head on Solomon's chest, taking in his smell. "I should probably go home and get some rest. Before I go do you think I could barrow a few clothes? I don't want Amanda asking why I'm dressed like this, plus it does have some blood on it." Holden said not wanting to leave Solomon's arms.
|
"Don't get cocky now Holden, and of course you can borrow my clothes~ I don't mind at all. Although, it's just probably best to stay the night, Amanda's already asleep; and I mean she's passed the hell out." He chuckled a bit, giving Holden another kiss, "But if you'd rather go, then feel free of course...although~" He grinned slyly, "I could just keep you hostage here~"
|
"I'm not cocky, I'm just saying. I love wearing your clothes, I love the feeling that you are all over body." Holden said with a wink. "Maybe I should, and if your gonna keep me hostage your gonna need to keep me tied up with something." He said after he kissed Solomon back. "I just love being in your arms Solomon." Holden said with a content sigh.
|
Solomon bit onto his lip, pulling Holden close, "Oh believe me, I've got rope~" He kissed Holden rather intensely on the lips for a moment before teleporting them upstairs, showcasing his closest with his hands, "Help yourself."
|
"Before I change how about you take me hostage." Holden said with a evil grin. He kissed Solomon forcefully, but gentle. "Or I can take you hostage, Mr. Sexy Vampire." He said as he walked his fingers up and down Solomon's chest.
|
Solomon grinned, "But I can't take you hostage when you're so willing Holden...that's not being..hostage..y..?" His face contorted slightly as he mulled over the butchery of English. After a moment he grabbed Holden's hand rather roughly, pinning it behind him with his other hand, "But, I'm sure I could make it work somehow."
|
"Please don't hurt me." Holden said as he bit his lip playfully. "You so cute when you stumble over words." He said holding himself back from kissing Solomon.
|
"Oh I won't hurt you much..." He forced Holden back up against the wall as he lightly kissed his neck, chin, then his lips. He held Holden's hands above his head as he kept him against the wall as he began to kiss Holden ferociously.
|
Holden moaned when Solomon started to kiss his neck.
*** "Why must you always bruise my ass?" He asked with a small smile. He actually didn't mind it at all. He stood up and rolled his shoulders, he put his hand on his shoulder and he felt something wet. He moved it in front of his face, "You bit me? You really got ferocious." He said with a evil smile. He enjoyed every second of it. He picked up the outfit that he wore and wiped his neck off on it. He looked at his watch, "Well I actually should be headed home. Amanda has school in a few hours." He said as he grabbed his boxers and put them on. He grabbed a pair of Solomon's pants and a shirt, he quickly put them on. He looked at Solomon, "I'll see you soon. I'll be back to pick up my mustang." Holden said as he bent down and gave Solomon a quick kiss before he teleported to the kitchen. |
Solomon grinned deviously as Holden spoke, "You'll discover I did more than just bruise and bite you on your shoulder my dear~" Truth be told, he bit Holden in a few other places while he was at it, but the boy had quickly healed those up already. "Ah! When you drop off Amanda, could you tell Marsha that Hayden is going to out of school for a few days? I had completely forgot to tell her." He got out of bed as Holden disappeared, grabbing a fresh set of clothes, opting to not wear a vest or tie today. Casual day today? He shrugged as he got in the shower.

"I will love." Holden said as he walked into the living room. He kneeled down next to Jason first, he was the easiest to wake up. "Jason, wake up Jason." He said gently shaking the boy.
"Hm? Daddy!" Jason said as he quickly wrapped his arms around Holden"s neck. "Hey buddy." Holden said with a smile as he hugged Jason back. When Jason let go he crawled over to Amanda. "Amanda~ Wake up kiddo." He said in a singsong tone as he shook her. "What?" Amanda said as she rolled away from Holden. "Hey don't take that tone with me, it's time to wake up. You have school in a few hours." He said as he stood up. "Amanda don't make me carry you." He said with a stern tone. "You are so mean Holden." She said with a pout as she sat up. "Oh come now I know you still love me." He said with a smile. He went to the door, "Let's go you two or your staying here." Holden said knowing Solomon wouldn't like that much. "Coming daddy." Jason said as he ran up to Holden. Amanda walked over to Holden slowly. He opened the door, "The BMW." He said as he walked out the door. He got into the car and waited for Amanda and Jason to do the same. When they were in the back seat he started the car and started backing up. |
Solomon quickly got himself dressed after his shower, combing through his hair and so on and so forth. After he was finished, he headed downstairs, pondering what he could do while Holden was away. It's so strange..I dont have to chase Hayden around, Holden wont be back for awhile, and I don't really want to do anything in general. Strange... With a shrug, he decided he would just wander aimlessly around London. After making sure he had a knife; just in case, he headed out the door.
|
Holden opened the door, "Ok you two I want you to shower and put on fresh clothes." He said as the kids ran up the stairs. He walked into the living room and frowned. "Hi Alicia." He said blankly as he leaned up against the wall.
"Hello Holden. How was your fight? I see your still in one piece." Alicia said still pissed. "Really Alicia your gonna play the damn quiet game? You are so immature sometimes. It was just some flirting. You were doing it to Alexander." He said angrily. "No Holden! It wasn't just the flirting it was the fact that your goddamn aunt showed up and ruined the evening even more." She said glaring at Holden. "Oh and like I'm supposed to know that she was gonna show up? Everything isn't always my fault you know." He said as his eyes turned yellow. "You should of felt something off. And its also the fact that you embarrassed me, like you always do." She said standing up. "Bull shit Alicia, I have always helped your ass. You are just selfish." He said. "I'm selfish? Who is the one that moved over here with out talking to his sister about it? Who is the one who begged to be turned? You that was all you." She said yelling now. "I talked to her about this move and she was fine with it. I begged but..." He was cut off when he felt someone appearing. "Holden settle down. Alicia you settle down as well." Seth said rubbing his hand through his hair. "You two act like my damn twins." He said with a sigh. "You two know you are wrong. So why don't you just apologize to each other." Seth said. "Why are you here Seth?" Holden asked slightly upset that he just appeared in his house. "Oh my god, you are Seth Augustin. The co-head of the American council. You are the third most powerful vampire in America, next to Serus and Jaelynn Antinori." Alicia said with a gasp. "Because I wanted to help you with your elemental powers." He said turning his attention to Alicia. "Thank you I guess. It does help that I am married to Serus." He said as he felt the twins do something bad. "Damn twins, well are you two going to apologize or no?" Seth asked. |
Suddenly a blonde haired woman appeared next to Seth, her face beat red, "You need to teach those damn kids some discipline! Now!" Her ice blue eyes glowed brightly as she stared at him, "You and Serus are the worst parents I have ever seen!' She swatted him upside the head, "I'm sick of babysitting those terrors! At least Annemarie has some self control!" She twitched, finally noticing the other two. She blinked a bit, tilting her head, "So is that him? Not bad, a shame you bat for the other team~" She quickly looked back to Seth, her eyes narrowed sharply, "Go. Punish. Them. Now."
|
"Son of a bitch." Seth said pinching his nose. "No Jaelynn, its that those damn two are just like their mother. See what I have to deal with Holden?" He said rubbing his head. His eyes glowed red, "They just fucking broke my bookcase again!" He said yelling. "I'll be right back." Seth said as he disappeared.
"Ok what is with you vampires checking me out. First Sean and now you." Holden said slightly red in the face. Alicia let out a squeal, "You are Jaelynn. Damn it Holden you didn't tell me you were involved with the most powerful vampires in the world." She said disappearing and appearing next to Holden. She slapped him upside the head. "Alicia! Why must everyone hit me?" Holden said with a growl. He walked to Jaelynn and extended his hand, "It's nice to meet you ma'am." He said with a smile. "Alicia can you take Amanda to school for me, please?" He asked looking to Alicia. "I guess, but you owe me." She said crossing her arms. "I'll buy you a damn car." He said rolling his eyes. "That's what you said when we were coming back after your dad's funeral." She said. "I'll buy you a goddamn Lamborghini, ok?" Holden asked. "Fine." Alicia said as she teleported to her room. Holden rubbed his eyes, "Can I interest you in some blood, or wine?" He asked. |
Jaelynn snarled slapping him upside the head, "Then knock them out dammit!" She whirled around as she was addressed by the female, "Why..why must you do that.." She then turned to Holden with a wink, "It's because you're just too cute Holden~ Ah, but don't worry, I won't bother you at all." She crossed her arms over her chest, watching Holden as Alicia vanished, "You do keep odd company Holden..a vampir; your still human sister; and Solomon..." She shuddered a bit, "A very strange man he is..." she trailed off with a shudder.
Solomon appeared, arms crossed and eyes narrowed a bit; but not in hostility, "Coming from you? Ouch, that hurts." He smiled a bit with a slight chuckle, shoving his hands in his pockets, "I see I just missed Seth..damn..I'll just have to wait until he gets back, as I'm sure he will be." |
