JULY
I DON'T WANT to leave Natalia in WH, but I have to go to the special assignment given to me by Chief Emilio, my Dad.
I am now in Marion City with Jacqui, Rizal, and Andres. The selected supernaturals will have a meeting. Only now will I attend this gathering because we don't usually collaborate with Supreme Arch and other supernaturals in Marion because Valiente wants to preserve the pack. Unexpectedly, my mate is not a wolf, but a mermaid, so we need to cooperate with the Supreme Arch.
(A/N: In case you forgot, the Supreme Arch was the organization of supernaturals that was supposed to punish Amor because she's a hybrid vampire.)
Ev, the Chosen One, said that we would meet at her house with her wife, Amor.
Previously, I used to fight vampires because I believed that they were filthy creatures, but I was wrong. Not everyone. I had never really met any nice of vampires or other supernaturals before. So I conclude that I still have a lot to learn at this point.
Eva and Amor's house is a little out of the way. It is on the top of a hill. Their house is big and elegant based on its external appearance. But I know it's beautiful on the inside too. The view is even more beautiful because at the bottom of the hill is the beautiful sea.
"It's beautiful here," Jacqui exclaimed as we got down.
"Yes, sweetie. But you are more beautiful," Rizal whispered.
"Damn! So corny. Sis, stop Rizal, please," Andres commented.
I just laughed at the three of them. I looked out to sea and remembered Natalia. Maybe it will be so much fun for her if she joins us. It's a pity she wasn't with me. But she is safer in WH, especially since the incident from last time is still fresh.
"July!" My mind was interrupted when suddenly someone called me.
"Ruby!" I greeted her happily and opened my arms because she was running to hug me.
"How are you?" she asked as we let go of the hug.
"I'm fine," I replied. "She's also fine and safe," I answered again as I guessed what she would ask after. I saw her smile.
"By the way, these are my cousins, Kudo and Conan."
I said, "Nice name," and shook hands with them.
"We know," they replied and shook hands with my colleagues when I introduced them as well.
"Uncle Joma was a hell of a fan of Detective Conan, that's why they named them after him," Ruby said. As usual, she's jolly as ever. Kudo and Conan just smiled. I just don't know if they are twins. But they look like they are. "Come on, let's go inside. They are all excited to meet you, guys."
We entered the Damians' big house. I'm not surprised at how beautiful it really is. I also hear my colleagues comment with admiration.
"July, it's so nice to see you again." Aunt Amor greeted me and kissed me on the cheek.
"Same to you," I said, introducing my companions. After they greeted each other, she guided us to the dining room.
Aunt Eva immediately saw me and smiled. She was already sitting, so she just raised her wine glass to recognize my presence. I nodded and smiled. After we settled into our chairs, I looked at the creatures that were there. Some of them, I recognized. Especially the adults. I only don't know the children. Except for Ruby, Kudo, and Conan. I can say that we have a good number of creatures attending right now.
"Before we start, I would like to thank July and her company for attending this meeting," Aunt Eva said. We just raised our glasses. For the sake of July and her pack, let me first introduce the people that will attend the meeting. First, I'm Eva Damian, and this is my wife, Amor Manuel. I'm half-witch, half-mermaid, and my wife is half-human, half-vampire. "
Whoa! Is Aunt Eva a half-witch? Witches are hot!
"This is our daughter, Carina." She pointed to the beautiful lady next to Aunt Amor. "This is my twin, Flame, and her wife, Amber, with their twins, Blaze and Flare." Flame, the redhead, was also beautiful. Such beautiful genetics. The names of their children are quite nice. "Flame is the general of Serenity, and Amber was a human until she mated with Flame." Wh-what? Amber? I looked closely at Amber's face. And even though I haven't seen her for a long time, I still know who she is.
"Aunt Amber!" the three of us, Rizal and Andres, exclaimed.
"Hello, nephew and niece," she just said and waved her hand casually.
"Oh, so you knew each other?" Eva asked.
"Yeah. They are my sister's children. I almost didn't recognize them because it had been a long time since I saw them," my Aunt Amber said with a smile. Aunt Amber is also very secretive, eh. "We'll talk later, kids, okay?" We were just dumbfounded. Wow!
"Okay. Shall I proceed then?" Eva looked at me, and when I recovered, I just nodded.
I smiled meaningfully at my Aunt Amber. She should get ready for me. I have many questions for her. The twins, Blaze and Flare, were also waving and smiling at us. Twins run in the family, eh.
"Over there are Anton and Lloyd. Anton was human as well until he mated with the vampire Lloydie." They are cute. The rainbow family is all over the place. "That's their son, Alfonso."
"Aunt Ev, call me Alfie, please," Alfonso complained. Maybe he is one of those people who doesn't want to be called by their full name. It's really good that July became my name and not Julieta.
"Oh sorry, dear." Ev was obviously teasing him. Childish too, eh. "They are Joma, a wolf, and Jane, a human. You know what happened when they mated. And they are their detective sons, Kudo and Conan." And are they really detectives? Nice! "Next is the King fairy, Jon, and wolf Alyana, or Aya, with their precious, cute daughter, Ruby." Eva is also obviously fond of Ruby. Who doesn't? She's so lovely! "Joma and Aya are siblings, by the way." That explains the resemblance.
"Miko the half-god, half-human and the prime minister of the supreme arch and Amor's brother, Dimitri, over there." Wow! Half-god? What else do I not understand about the supernatural world? And the prime minister of the Supreme Arch is here. Who are these people? "Next to them is their son, Severus Snape."
"Aunt Ev, it's just Severus," Severus corrected Ev. Don't tell me his parents are Harry Potter fans?
'Looks like that!' And my wolf is back.
"Oh sorry, dear." Ev is teasing him too. "Anyway, the teleporters, vampire Alex, and Jon's sister, the fairy, Trixie, over there. Is Alexie not awake yet?" The two ladies shook their heads. By the way, they are the parents of cute little Alexie. "It's a pity then," Eva continued.
"Last but not least, the only pure vampire couple, Note and Clef. So, Pia can't come?"
"She's with her friends," Clef replied. "I'll call her again later, maybe she can catch up." Ev nodded.
"So, that's it, folks." Ev's conclusion to the meet and greet. "How about your friends, July?"
I then introduced my best friend and my twin brothers. After that, we ate. Like a normal person, and talking about things. I feel like I didn't go to a meeting but to a reunion. They are all very accommodating.

LUIGI
EVERYTHING IS GOING AS PLANNED. I never thought I could count on Ely for all my plans. Maybe she was really angry with her brother because she had betrayed Eva and was eager to help me with everything I was planning.
Now, I have the two things I will need to make the secret weapon to destroy the chosen one. After destroying Evangeline Damian, I will rule over all the supernatural and human worlds!
I opened the safe and picked up the book. Just a little bit more and I can really achieve everything that is stated there.
Flashback..
"This is the book!" I jumped happily and hurried home.
I read the book as soon as I arrived home, just to be surprised by what it said.
"Impossible! Impossible is what you're asking for!" I talked to the book after I read that page. It was as if it could hear me.
What was posted there was,
"There is only one weapon that can kill and destroy the chosen one. It's not a thing but a creature.
A beautiful creature that is created by the king of demons' son and a mermaid, out of love.
Thy powers will be activated in thy twenty-two years of age.
The activation of the dark power of this creature will only be through the Rasta Pearl."
And below are just all the instructions.
End of flashback…
I was frustrated during those times, I admit. Because, how can I find that demon's child who is a half-mermaid? Then the Rasta pearl as well. It was at the end of Seoul (dungeon in the deep waters of Serenity) and was guarded by the mer people.
I was frustrated before, that I didn't know where to start or what to do. But then, I had hope because I had twenty-two years to prepare. So, I just planned well and tadaa, here we are. I am close to achieving that success.
I have the Rasta Pearl. Ely had already gotten it from Serenity. See? Everything that is happening now goes according to my plan. Who would have thought that the sister of the chosen one would betray her?
I laughed out loud. I'll get the Rasta Pearl! Ely is so useful. Wooh!
As for the creature, she is already with me and is currently being teleported by Jessa. Ely's men kidnapped her. They didn't even sweat because Natalia's guards were too weak. Well, those guards are just people. Anyway, that worked out for me. At least Ely's men didn't have a hard time.
I leaned back in my seat excitedly.
How did I know she was the one I was looking for? The weapon? None other than Natalia Aquino, the daughter of the President.
Think about it. I met the president in a dark alley in London twenty-two years ago, and I did not know he was the son of Satan back then. That's why Satan is so confident that what I'm looking for will only come to me. In fairness, that so-called beggar has come a long way. A fucking demon! The son of the King of Hell!
How did I know this again?
Well, I have all the resourceful people and the very trustworthy ones. The so-called president's secretary and my left-hand assistant, Jessa.
