Chapter 65:

Pythia POV:

We all stood around for a moment trying to figure out what the hell just happened. My dad and aunt made it known that we are family so we don't have to hide anymore. The downside of that is we need to tell Alcide and get his pack covered so nothing happens to them. "We need to come up with a plan." My dad said. "Well I would say we do. Why did you choose to tell them?" I asked. "Because there was no changing their minds. They were close to figuring out that the twins were your brothers so I figured I would beat them to it." My dad replied. "That is one way to shock people." Alley said, walking up to us. "I agree. I was not expecting that." Stephen "We need to warn Alcide." Tye said. "I'll go and tell him." Olivia said. "I've already covered everyone with the shield so we can all rest a little easier." Stephen said. I smiled at my brother in law. "Thank you, Alley. I am afraid you and Ambrosia will have to sit this fight out." I said sternly. "I won't even argue with that. Just know if we are needed we will be there in spirit." Alley replied with a smile. 

I couldn't take the risk of something happening to them or their babies. Ambrosia is going to be pissed when she finds out that she has to sit this one out but she will get over it. Her and Jackson had an appointment this morning and they had to miss the shit show. I am glad they weren't here if I am being honest with myself, Ambrosia has a hot temper and she probably would have killed at least one elder. Not that I would have minded but still. I don't think we need to worry for a little while, they still have to assemble whoever they have and I needed to travel to the other covens and fill everyone in as quickly as I could. I won't make anyone fight but those who are willing will have to come here to train while we hide everyone else away for their safety. "What are the chances that I can borrow the warriors to train my witches in hand to hand combat?" I asked, looking around. "Just tell us when and where and we will all be there." Collin said. He was once a big asshole but he has really come around and is very laid back. 

"I need to travel to the other lands and gather those who wish to fight and come up with a plan to hide those who don't want to fight and the children." I said. "Bring the ones who don't want to fight and the children here to us. Ambrosia and I will watch over them since we can't be in the actual fight. The least we can do is take care of your members." Alley said, I could see the wheels turning in her head. "I will place the shield up tighter around them, Jack can place the fire shield in front of it so that no one that has ill intentions can cross. Much like we did with Bosch." Stephen added. That is actually a good idea. It is a really good thing we have built so many new houses and pack houses because it looks like we are going to need it now more than ever. I needed to find Ambrosia to fill her in on what is going on. "We need to leave after I talk to Ambrosia. I will send word of our arrival." I said looking at Tye. "We will watch over the pack.'' Leia said as her and Brandon walked towards us. "I trust you both. We don't know how long we will be gone but if you need anything we can come back immediately." Tye replied.

"We will all help, you won't have to worry about anything here, just send everyone, we will be ready." Alley said with a smile. "What about Apollo?" Jenson asked. "He will come of course. You and Jasper are to be with him at all times, I will have Jason and Tye." I replied. "Alright, we have much to prepare so let's get at it. Ladies with me, we need to stock up on food, clothes and essentials." Alley said, directing people. "Men with me, we need to set up the training grounds and go over border protocols, Tye we will open the link so that you can listen in. Olivia get Alcide to us quickly so he can attend the meeting and open his link as well." Stephen directed. Olivia just nodded her head before she disappeared. "Dad, Kathrine and Phil, you guys round everyone up and tell them what is going on. They must decide today whose side they are on." I said looking at the three of them. They disappeared after giving me a swift nod. "We need to pack but we can pop back in if we need anything else. Lillith, Stony split up and warn the other coven members that we will be visiting within a few days. briefly give them information on what is happening that way the ones who want to leave have enough time." I said. 

Lillith looked confused, "Shouldn't we kill them?" Lillith asked. "Everyone has a free choice. They may leave and come back if they see that the grand elders are crazy. I mean look what happened with the rogues." I replied. "Fair point well made, we will have prepared." Stony replied. Once they left it was just the family. "Jenson please go back to the house and start packing, I need to find Ambrosia and tell her what is going on." I said. "Let's all get started." Charlotte said. One by one everyone started leaving. "I'll meet you back at home soon, my beauty." Tye said before he kissed my forehead. I watched as he walked off leaving me and Jason. "Are you ready?" I asked. "As I'll ever be." Jason replied. I laid my hand on his shoulder and took us to Ambrosia and Jacksons castle. They did an amazing job on this place. "Pythia! Jason, please come in. Jackson was called to a meeting but said you would be coming by what has happened?" Ambrosia asked.

As I walked in I could see people rushing around. Vampire speed always amazed me. "Well we just waged war with the grand elders, now we have to assemble the good ones to fight the bad ones." I said in a rush. "Well can't say I didn't see it coming. When is the fight?" Ambrosia asked. "That I am not sure of, I would say a month or so. I'm afraid you will have to sit this one out with Alley but we have a plan." I replied slowly. "I can fight." Ambrosia said stubbornly. "No you can not. I am not risking you or the baby. While we are gathering people, the ones who chose not to fight and the children will be under your protective watch along with Alley." I replied."I actually like the sound of that. Should anything try, I will handle it." Ambrosia said. "I know you will. The other ladies are setting up and making room, there will be a fire wall and the shield around everyone so that is a plus." I replied. "Good, we have plenty of room here, I will have some stuff set up. I need to coordinate with the others to see what they have planned." Ambrosia said. 

"I have to go for now, I have to go to the other covens, Jasper and Jenson will be with Apollo, Tye and Jason will be with me so we will be fine." I said. "Do you want me to send some of my guards too? I would feel better." Ambrosia said. "If it would make you feel better then I don't mind." I replied. Ambrosia smiled wide and she relaxed a bit. "I will make sure they are at your house within ten minutes. Now go and pack and be safe, my sister." Ambrosia hugged me. I hugged her back feeling more relieved than I have in a while. "I will be, I promise." I replied. Ambrosia quickly turned around and ran off while Jason and I went back home. Jasper had Apollo in his little bouncer while he and Jenson were running around grabbing things. "Way to go big sister! Finally stood up to those cranky old assholes." Jasper said ruffling my hair. "Oh hush! I didn't want to go to war but we had to." I replied pushing him away. "I knew those assholes wouldn't listen, I heard dad outed all of us though." Jasper said.

"Yeah he did, to say they were shocked would be an understatement but it needed to happen." I replied. "Okay I got all our stuff packed except yours and Tyes. You can pack your own shit sis no offense." Jenson said, making me laugh. "Yeah thanks, I will be back shortly. Also Ambrosia is sending two of her best guards with us so be on the lookout for them." I said and I walked up the stairs. When I walked into our room I quickly grabbed the bags and threw whatever I found first in there. I made sure we had enough but didn't over pack. I hated last minute trips like this. I didn't have enough room to pack all our bathroom stuff so I just grabbed the body wash and two in one shampoo and conditioner with our toothbrushes and zipped everything up. If we need anything else then we can go out and get it. I hauled the bag downstairs and stopped in my tracks when I saw two big walls standing by the door. Holy crap those are her guards? They both stood nearly six foot five and were wider than the damn door.

What in the hell is she feeding them? "This is Braxton and Troy. Ambrosia sent them." Jasper said. "Good goddess what is she feeding y'all?" I asked. Both of them laughed and I am glad they didn't get offended. "We train every chance we get." Troy replied. "Obviously, you both are wider than the door." Jenson stated. "Well maybe we can bulk you three up when we get back." Braxton said smirking. "We always love a good training session." Jason replied, crossing his arms. "Alright if the pissing match is over we need to get going." Tye said, walking through the door. Braxton and Troy bowed their heads which kind of took me by surprise. Tye walked over and picked a very happy Apollo up and turned to face us all. "When we get back everyone is training with everyone. We need to be on our toes while we are out, even though we are covered by the shield we still need to be cautious. Should anything happen Jenson you are to bring Apollo straight to Alley and come back to us." Tye said sternly. "Jason you do not leave Pythias side at all and I don't care which of the two of you want to stay by her but you do not leave her side." Tye said, looking at the massive vampires standing before us.

"Jasper, Jenson and the other one of you. Do not leave my sons side at all. He is to be shielded at all times and I fully expect him to be safe no matter what." Tye said more sternly. "Of course alpha." Jasper replied. "We would never let anyone near our nephew." Jenson added. "We all need to remain together, if possible Apollo and I can be in the middle of you all but should we be separated then we know what to do right?" I said more gently. They each nodded their heads understanding what I was saying. "Good, now we need to go." I said. "How exactly are we going?" Braxton asked. "Teleportation of course." I replied with a smile. "I booked us all a room at the hotel near the first coven house." Tye said to me. I smiled at him, of course he would think of that. "Grab hands everyone." I said. Once we were all touched I took us to the hotel, now we just needed to check in and put our stuff down before we start gathering our own troops for what is to come.
