I shivered as I broke the arm of the seat I was in as we passed the alley where my Daddy was murdered. "By your actions I know you are not okay mind telling me what happened?"
"We just passed Jazin's crime scene." Mother said softly.
"Oh." Father said softly as he patted my shoulder.
"Yea sorry about the arm, General." I said softly.
"It's fine I break things every year on June 30th." He said. Loren winces as she leans against Magda. "And don't you apologize you're alive and right now that is all that matters."
"He's right." I said.
"Yea I know." She said with a smile.
"So ...what the hell is that sound?" I asked as a loud buzzing started.
"What sound?" Mother asked as Loren rubbed her ears and we all looked uncomfortable.
"I think it may be a silent alarm." Loren said. "They are too high pitched for anyone outside of a vampire to hear."
"And that is a roadblock…" Mother said as a cop pulled us over.
"Hey general sorry about this." He said.
"Hey what is going on?" He seemed to know this cop.
"We got armed robbers in a bank and a possible kid hurt." Every vampire in the car stiffened and I unbuckled and shadowned to the front seat.
"How can we help." I asked.
"I'm sorry?" The cop asked.
"Your power over shadows would be helpful for them." The General said.
"Sadly we can't have a civilian helping." The cop said.
"Then it's a good thing I am not a civilian." I said.
"You can't go in without the agreement of the cops." The general said.
I looked at him. "A child has been hurt, we can not not help it's against our laws." Logan said as he opened the door and we followed him. "Mind taking us to whoever is incharge of of the situation?"
"Why would you make it worse?" He said.
"My father and I can move through Shadows and on top of that we are vampires, you think they would be ready for that?" I asked him.
"Conner takes the wheel." The general said as he stepped out of the car. "They will not take no for an answer so let's go talk to your captain." He tells the cop.
He looked from the general then to us then sighed. "Very well."
"Loren got my uncle." I tell her as we follow the guy.
"Yes Sis." She said as she headed back the lines of cars and I sighed.
I just hoped that they would let us help. "Caption." The cop called as we came up to a group of people.
"Who are these people?" The Captain asked.
"I am General Galea. These are the Northern Vampire clan kings and representatives. How can we help?" He asked.
"Unless one of the vampires can move at the speed of light then no." He said.
"My father and I can move through the shadows and we would at least be able to remove the injured child." I said.
He looked at the building and then back to us. "From what we know the person who is hurt is a 17 year old boy named Ethan." The Captain then looked at us. "If you get hurt it's not on us." I smiled at him.
"Not at all." I said as I sank into the shadows and moved to the shadow of the injured kid.
"Easy." I said as I pulled him though the floor into the shadows and I held him.
"Help them." He begged.
"We will but you need help first." I said softly as I shadowed him to the cop set up.
"Holy shit." Uncle said as he helped me lay him on the gurney.
"I am not sure he's going to make it." One of the parametric said and the kid grabbed my arm.
"Kids mens bathroom." He said before he passed out.
"I get them." Father said as he shadowed out as they worked.
"Yea we won't make it to the hospital." The paramentic said.
Everyone of us vampires snarled at them and they looked at us. "Uncle turn him." I said as I turned and looked and smiled at Owen. "Owen we are going in."
"Excuse you?" The captain cop asked.
"They killed a child." Owen hisses as we sink into the shadows and goes to the gunmens shadows and they were arguing as we wrapped them in shadows bringing them down into the shadows and then broke their necks and then dumped them in front of the captain.
"That is how we handle child killers." I hissed as he opened his mouth.
"You would have probably killed them trying to apprehend them." The general said as Father was helping Uncle pump the young man's check.
"Is the venom working?" I asked as I moved to them.
"It is but these people want to take him to something called a hospital?"
"It's where the doctors are." I tell them.
"What is going on here?" A man asked as he walked up to us.
"Issic." Mother said as she came up to us.
"Owen, if you are losing control go." I tell him as his eyes bleed red.
"Thank you princess." He said and vanished.
"Mother, who is this?" I asked her.
"This is Turtle coven head Issic." Mother said.
"Issic what can we do for you?" I asked him.
"You have one of my members on that gurney."
I winced since I knew the kid was turning. "Where are his parents? And what is his name?" I asked him.
"James' parents died, that was why we were here to get a bank account set up for him…" He said looking from us to them. I almost sighed in relief.
"They said we would not make it to the hospital so we turned him." I tell him. A scream from him tells me we are at that point. "And that's the venom making it to his brain." I said turning to see Uncle shhh him as he trashes.
"Easy Little one easy." He said as he as the young one fell into the coma.
"Well he made it past the point most people would have died." Father said.
"We need to get that bullet out of him." I remind him.
"We can get him to the hospital to get that out." One of the paramedics said.
"Only if I can go with him." Uncle hissed.
"That is fine sir."
"What hospital?" The general asked.
"Capital Memorial." She said as they loaded him into the ambulance.
"Varance go we don't meet with the leaders till tomorrow go with James we will meet you there." Mother told him.
"Right." He said as he followed the parametric.
"I need to ask how you and him apprehended them." the captain said to me.
"We wrapped them in shadows and yanked them down into the shadow area and broke their necks."
"Why did you break their necks?" He asked me.
"The only reason Rayrich is still alive after hurting young Xavier is because we did not want to start a way but to harm a child is a death sentence." Logan said, stepping up to us.
"And you are the king, yes?" He asked him.
"Correct." He agreed with him.
"Very well due to your current status of diplomatic immunity. We will speak on this later." He said with a nod and started getting statements from others.
"Well that was fun." Logan sighed.
"General, can you lead the rest to the hotel? I will get Diana and Nic to the hospital." Mother said to him.
"That sounds like a plan."
"I will grab Lucas then we can go." I told her.
"Fine." She agreed as we split up and then I met up with my Father and Mother with Lucas.
"We will have a prince after this." Lucas said.
"I will have a cousin." I smiled.
"I am going to have a nephew." Father snorted as we got into a taxi. "Let's just hope Var doesn't try to kill someone."
"Agreed." Lucas said as he leaned against the door we got there pretty fast all things considered.
A shadow came up and grabbed my hand and led me to my uncle.
"What's going on Uncle?" I asked him.
"They would not let me go in with them but they understand they just need to remove the bullet and the metal in him and we will need to make a nest." He said humming.
"Yea we do." I agreed with him.
"You are the vampire that was here with young James?" The turtle head asked as he walked up to us.
"Yes." He asked.
"Who is going to be responsible for him?" He asked him and Uncle hissed at him.
"I am of course!" He snapped. "I turned him,that makes him my child!" He snaps at him.
"I just wanted to make sure someone was going to be there for him." He said. "After the boy lost his parents he had no one in his life."
