The next few days Iris was distant. She felt so guilty for not giving Jackson another nest. He would ask and she would always say not now. Though she had good reason she still feels as though she failed him. "My lady you need to drink some blood to keep up your strength. I know its hard but you need to for our sake. Anthony is no doubt hot on our trail, My lady he will not stop untill you are no more." Tarry said as Charry sat in my lap moving her hair aside.
"He won't kill me but I won't be free willed either. He will only want to use me. I think it's time to gather some people. This war has gone on long enough." I said before drinking from Charry. "That will be difficult due to hunters crawling everywhere." James said looking out the window knowing his kin were watching them. He felt so betrayed yet understood that this was their job. The hunters exist to keep balance among the supernatural and human realm. He always thought he would one day be head hunter like his father, James now understands and accepts that is no longer a possibility for him. He has to stay alive for his master and creator. The Queen of the supernatural world Iris Clearwater. "We will figure out something James don't worry." Iris said gently whipping away the blood from her mouth.
Tarry gave Charry some Orange juice watching the two vampires. "The woodlin Elves may be able to help us my lady. They are still loyal to your parents and by extension you. Let me make some calls and arrange something." Tarry said helping Charry lay down Iris looked to her and nods. "We will need all the help we can get." She said before turning her attention to James. James was confused on how even after all that has happened, the vampire infront of him was still so gentle. "Master I swear to you that I will do everything I can in your name." James said making the female shake her head. "James I told you to call me mother after all I technically am." She said gently patting his cheek. The new vampire male still found it odd to call her mother but she was right in a way. The female vampire was his creator so she is his mother. "I apologize mother it is still odd for me." He said with an embarrassed blush.
This made Iris giggle at her son. "It will take time but you will get used to it. I am sorry for plunging you into this but I also didn't want to see you die James. It would have been a waste of talent." Iris said sitting on the ledge looking out the old dust stain window. The gentle expression turned hard and angry. "Hunters are surrounding us. James Charry is down watch her Tarry and myself will go and deal with our guests." She said standing up eyes glowing red. Tarry met with her by the stairs. "My lady what are my orders?" She asked glocks in hand. "No mercy let none of them live." She said fangs extended from her lips.
The hunters watched the entrances waiting to strike. "Remember men the Queen can not be harmed in anyway. The Clydesmith bastard wants her alive. He probably wants to kill her himself the other's are fair game. I know James my son your comrade is one of them now. I know how hard it will be to kill him but to save his soul you must. We will see him again one day." Anderson said looking at the group of men and women before him. His head snapped back to the entrance. His body started shaking backing away in fear. "This dark presence....it's her the queen." He said steadying himself before the door was sent flying at them. Iris's eyes were black with black veins spread threw her face and body. The fight began blood soaking the ground as the two sides clashed. The sound of bones being crushed and flesh between torn filled the night till morning.
The sun roes as Iris had Anderson by the throat. Her expression was void of emotion. Her skin stained scarlet with the blood of the men and women he brought with him. "You Anderson Frederickson dare to not only kill the queen of the night, but have killed my children and mate. You also want the head of my blood turned son. These crimes are punishable by death. Any last words filthy bastard." Her voice had an other worldly eco. He was about to say something when arrows were fired almost hitting her. Tossing him away in time but he didn't survive due to his neck being snapped. She started into the woods waiting for the of who dares cross her. "Now now Iris flower lets not be so hasty, He was only doing his job he didn't know any better." That voice she recognized it. She couldn't believe it he was dead she knew it. "Solea how?" She whispered as he stepped into the light. He looked the same only with a scar stretching across the front of his throat. "Hello sweet flower ready to come with me or are you coming to continue fighting me." His voice was smooth with a hint of annoyance.
Iris pov
How how is he alive? I ask in my mind only to smell decay and swomp mud. I sigh knowing this is not my Solea he is just being controlled. The torment of bringing a soul back from the dead, only to dangle what they want so you can control them. It's sick and magic I forbidden to ever be used the dead she rest in peace not be used as puppets on a string. "Oh Solea what has he done to you? What has that bastard promised to give you? Solea listen to me you are not a live and are being used." I tried to reach him but as I thought he is not in control. His laughter was bone chilling his eyes widened with a sick smile on his face. "He will bring her back. I know he will do it he brought me back. He will bring back my Percephany.
We will be together again he promised me." I understand now his heart yearns for her. "Solea he can't you aren't even alive anymore. You are on borrowed time to do what he wants. Once you do that he will kill you not upholding his end of the deal." I said preparing to fight him Terry looked sad aiming her gun at him. "Are you really going to fight me Iris?" He asked tilting his head with that crazed look on his face. "I will if must." I said before running twords him. The two of us fight it some what even due to me being tired. He pinned me to a tree by my throat. Clawing at his arm trying to get free. "I'm sure he won't mind me having some fun with you." He said before being shot in the arm letting me go. He looked at Tarry who fired again this time his knees. He growled at her trying to stand I take this opportunity to slice his head of his shoulders his body turning to dust. "I am sorry old friend please find peace." I said holding to Tarry. I make it back into the hide out only to pass out from excess use of my powers.
