"You're welcome. Go spend time at the house and let Luke paint you something. That boy has some insane talent." Shaking his head, he looks at Seth. "Everything will be alight."
"Alright, we will arrive at the airport in thirty minutes." Will smiled at the two in the back, "Let me know if you need anything, Bree. I will also help you out."
Leo hands a mini television to Brielle. "In case you want to see who shows up."
Taking the mini television, she places it in her lap and nods her head. "Am I taking your plane or my own?"
"Yours, but Luke will be at the airport waiting for you when you arrive. I hope you like motorcycles because that is all he can drive at the moment." Leo chuckles while watching everyone's reactions. "Oh, come on. it is not like Brielle doesn't have one of her own."
Smiling, Brielle looks at Leo, shaking her head. "That is fine with me. I know to ride tandem, but I am not sure how well I feel."
"You'll be safer with Luke than with anyone else. I know that kid is not the sweet five-year-old that Leo hides away. Seth, this is a secret." Will looked at the boy and winked.
This caused Seth to chuckle. "Leo has already mentioned him and your adopted son. How is Dallas settling?"
"AMAZING! The boy has won Sam over, and she signs to him happily. I couldn't be more happy or proud of my little family. Now I know how Leo felt after all those years. One thing Leo, please, for the love of all things holy, tell me when you find Kitty. Otherwise, I will have the dragon breathing down my back." Will glances back at Leo.
"When I find her, you will know all about it. She is, after all, mine, and I plan on making up for the lost time, but it is like she purchased a new ticket every other day. One day I will catch up to her! And you will hear about it." Leo clenches his hands into fists.
"For our and the association's sake, I hope that it happens soon because you are irrational." Brielle closed her eyes, resting against the glass.
Ketan wakes up in the dungeon and glares at the broken camera. Touching the pinprick, he slowly climbs to his feet, flips off the camera, and walks around looking for what was in the dungeon. He looked at the fridge and felt his fangs lengthen. He rips it open and smells the different blood bags, as one draws his attention that makes his mouth water more. Grabbing the first bag, he slams the door, sits down and glares at the door.
~Test? Can anyone connect to me?~ Ketan tries reacting out before sinking his fangs into the bag. Once the bag was finished, he tossed it in the trash then looked in all the drawers finding nothing useful. He did find a panel that opened a fingerprint scanner. He stared at the door, waiting.
"I am glad that you found my gift. If you cooperate with me, I will make sure that the blood bags will get replenished for the first while, but if you try to harm them, I will not hesitate to starve you completely. At the three-month mark, you will be starved, but you won't die. At least that is what I have learned so far." The same voice comes through the speakers.
"You fucker. I will hunt you down and skin you alive when I get out of here. Then I will drain your blood over and over, making you wish that you were dead!" Ketan glared at the nano camera, licking his lips. Next time you want to spy on me, use something I won't find… oh, wait... that doesn't exist." He walked up and crushed the camera.
"You little piece of shit. That cost me ten thousand dollars! Fine, then suffer with what little food you have." The voice signs off, and the room goes silent.
Laughing, Ketan picked up the broken camera and placed it on the counter, then went and laid down on the bed. 'My Little Hunter, although I was the one to deny you the first time. I am beginning to regret my choices. If I see you again, I will try to make it up to you, even if you do not remember who I am. I still feel like I did the right thing by not letting you remember me, though. Your blood will be a treat that I will savour. It will help me longer than any of the other ones as I still crave your blood.'
Brielle woke up as Leo lifted her out of the vehicle and looked at the plane getting ready for take off. Leo carried her up the stairs, laid her down on the couch and looked down at her. "Is there anything that you need before I send you away?"
"No, but… thank you, Leo. Sorry for all the trouble." Brielle shook her head while relaxing .on her couch. "I will see you in a week or so."
Leo got out of the plane while Will and Seth handed Brielle's belongings to the stewardess. "Make sure that she does not walk around all that much, Kimiko and not too much to drink either."
"Yes, Sir. I will follow your instructions as much as Brielle will let me." She bowed, entered the plane, closed the door, and walked to Brielle. "It is good to see you again."
"Kimiko, I am sorry. Work has been hectic, and well, I might have become a target again." Brielle kept her eyes closed.
"That is okay. I will always stay by your side for whenever you need me, Bree. I heard that you needed rest, and I can sing you a song to knock you out for the duration of the flight if that is what you would like?" Kimiko smiles sweetly and sees Brielle nod her head.
"We are part of the ocean that is blue-green,
With frothy bubbles floating upon the surface showing our fallen loved ones,
Into the deep is where we lie in hiding from those that wish us harm,
Away from prying eyes.
You were a goddess that came to save our beloved princess,
One that deserted the life that she was growing into,
Her beauty is something that caused her to be taken away,
Only for you to return her to us.
A saviour of the mermaids,
One that none would oppose,
You will always be welcomed in our home,
The princess' saviour and supernatural lover.
One day you will see that your deeds are a blessing,
A blessing that will overcome everything and anything,
For you are a queen in your own world,
The new Queen of Darkness,
A saviour of the mermaids,
One that none would oppose,
You will always be welcomed in our home,
The princess' saviour and supernatural lover.
"Goodnight, Bree." Kimiko kisses Brielle's forehead, places the bags she was carrying into the bag compartment, and opens the cockpit door. "Captain, we are ready for take-off. I will sit with Brielle while she rests."
"Of course, Kimiko. Go and be with her because soon others will know who she is." The captain replied before getting on the radio.
Kimiko walked back to Brielle and smiled, leaning down, kissing her forehead. "You will make a fantastic Princess. Turn when you are ready." The flight went smoothly, and Kimiko woke up Brielle. "Good Morning Sunshine. You have gained some of your colours back. I am happy to see that."
"Sorry, Kimiko, and thank you for helping me fall asleep. How is your kingdom now that you are out exploring the world?" Brielle looked at the girl who was smiling down at her
"Oh, Bree. Everything has flourished so well. So many of my people have made it, though. All because you hid me from the danger. Seriously, helping you sleep is the least that I can do. Now there is a young werewolf waiting for you on the tarmac." Kimiko helps Brielle stand and walks her down the stairs. "Have a good, relaxing time."
Luke came halfway up the stairs and offered his arm to Brielle. "I heard from Leo that you needed a hand. Come on, I'll get you back to our place." They make it to the bottom, and Luke leads her to his bike.
"Wait, what about my stuff?" Brielle looked at the bike skeptically. She was watching Luke and saw that there was a compartment that was attached to the bike.
Chuckling, Luke turned around and helped her with the helmet. "As you can see, I have everything covered. Kimiko brought down your bags, and I packed them up. I know you know how to ride, but I need you to hold on tightly." He hops on, puts on his helmet, and waits for her. "Oh, and there is a communication between these helmets, so no need to yell."
Brielle climbed onto the bike and wrapped her arms around his waist. "Okay, you can go now. I will be careful."
"It's fine. I know that you are not doing well." Luke starts the bike, revving the engine before they race off. "So, what's the story you want to tell me?" He expertly steers the bike, and the two race to the town.
