Chapter 16
The Flames Cont.
For the next eighteen years Hennessy and I experience true freedom. Well within reason I mean Tito, Tennessee, Jameson and London watch us like a hawk but Hennessy got to experience life. She didn’t have friends as such she was always too shy and scared that someone would find out that she wasn’t a super. But she is we just can’t come out yet.
The Sib’s as I call them now, always encourage Hennessy to do what she loves. While she chooses being a doctor. Only, I know that isn’t her true passion, Art is her passion but she is too scared to follow it as she is worried that being an Artist isn’t going to be of anything special for her family to want to be around her. However, what she doesn’t understand is that she would always be loved by her Sib’s and me included.
The hardest day was the day that Jameson lost his mate and child. While everyone assumed it was the labour that killed her, I know that it was the twit that slipped her the poison in her drink but no one knows. He mourns his lost mate and that of his unborn child, even to this day but there is a reckoning coming and for me I can’t wait but I just hope that when Hennessy finds the truth that she joins me on this revenge.
Just after Hennessy’s twenty second birthday the full moon and scanning festival was to take place, they use to do these things once every three to five years but over the last several years they have increased the scanning of Supers which meant that Hennessy and I had to hide every six to eight weeks to avoid the Royals.
I listen as Hennessy and Tito bicker about staying in the cottage, I don’t mind I love the cottage why Hennessy insisted that we move to the city to take the doctor position I will never know. She never even told me when she was in sleep that she wanted to move to the city. One day we were living in the cottage and the next morning I wake to living in a townhouse in the city.
I listen to her refuse Tito; I smile know that he won’t give up.
“Thanks, but no thanks. I will contact Tennessee and see what is happing downstairs this week. But I would also like to point out that I am twenty-two. I can take care of myself” I hear Tennessee say I laugh because this girl can trip on air and break a bone in the process.
I listen Tito tell her that he is getting Tennessee on the other line. I don’t know why Hennessy fights it so much every several weeks we go through the same song and dance.
“Put him into this call.” Hennessy says. Its not long before I hear.
“Hey Hen”
“Hey Essy”
“Hey baby girl”
“Loser”
“So, what does the loser need help with now?” the twit says. I wish that Tito would reach over and smack her in the face. I listen as they all add their two cents in which makes my heart smile.
“Shut your mouth Skyy. Don’t talk about Hennessy like that” Tito barks and I know that he is using his mojo or Alpha powers because I hear a faint sorry and know that she is pissed off which means that I will definitely not be going to their pack this weekend.
“Gosh Skyy. You don’t need to be such a b***h all the time” Tennessee growls
“Are we sure she is even related to us” London grips
“Maybe she needs to be smack upside the head Tito, have you done that recently?” Jameson snarls.
“OK, the reason that we are on this call apart from saying hi to each other. Is that this weekend is the supernatural parade in the city. The same city that Hennessy is living in which means that this weekend all weirdos will be put out into the street and they will go through the bio scan to make sure that they are what they are registered as. We need to keep Hennessy safe and to do that we need her out of the city today before the boarders are closed at midnight. Hennessy does not want to come out here because this weekend is the full moon run which means she will have to stay in the safe room until Sunday morning.” Tito says
“Unfortunately, I am away with the coven. So, I can’t look after her” London says
“I would happily take you in, but I can’t this full moon” Jameson says sounding sad.
“I have demon shit to deal with so I can’t either” Tennessee says sounding annoyed.
I guess we are heading to the cottage, I do a little happy dance as Hennessy moves around the room gathering her stuff. Before long we are in the car and approaching the guarded exit.
Hennessy has a brief but weird conversation with the Guard and then drives through. I look through her eyes when she looks back in the rearview mirror and sees the guard looking back at us. Mm, ‘don’t like’ I say to myself. We continue on for hours until Hennessy stops and gets fuel. I am happiest while I am outside, I wish Hennessy felt the same way. Unfortunately, Hennessy likes to hide to make the least amount of impact in the super world, but what she doesn’t realise is that everywhere she goes Hennessy stands out.
I take notice as a man and woman in front of Hennessy talk about the Royals looking for someone and that makes me take notice as well. As we pay for fuel and move back the car I listen as I hear them say that they are looking for someone specific. We continue on but I can feel the unease as Hennessy continues to drive towards the cottage.
It happens in a blink of an eye. First there is nothing but dark night and then in headlights of Hennessy’s car stands a dark figure. I hear Hennessy scream before I watch the car slide out of control and bam Hennessy is laying on my floor of my room.
“Well F*ck” I mutter
