Chapter 39I woke up to Ambrosia moving around in my arms. She popped her head up off my shoulder. “Good morning!” She sang. I just blinked a couple of times. I wasn't even awake yet, how was she this perky already? “Morning, doll.” I grumbled, trying to sit up and wipe the sleep from my eyes. She was already up and bounding around the room. She seemed to be in the best mood ever. “Oh, I'm taking full credit for her good mood. I definitely did that.” I said to Viper with a snicker. “Yes you fuckin did, ha.” Viper replied. I watched as she ran off into her room to change before heading downstairs for whatever reason. I was still sitting on the side of the bed grumbling to myself. Normally I’m good to wake up easily, but today I was not having it. I flopped back down on the bed and closed my eyes. I must have dozed back off because I woke up shortly after, to Ambrosia straddling me with her hands pining mine back to the sides of my head. “Oh, you want to play, do you?” I said, and
Chapter 40“Well… He’s fucking charming. He literally just has to look at me with those big bronze eyes and shoot me a thousand dollar smile and my panties are on the ground.” She said. Amethyst started laughing so hard. “He’s also very rough with sex. Thank god I wasn’t a virgin, he might have killed me the first time… But I will say he definitely has the experience to know what the fuck he’s doing.” She said. I just shook my head. “Wait, wait, wait… So you guys are telling me that I'm the only damn one that hasn’t slept with my Master?” I hissed. They both just looked at me wide eyed. “You haven’t?” Amethyst cackled. “No!” I cried back. “How? You and him slept in each other's bed every single night I lived here…” Amethyst questioned. “Yea, sleeping in each others bed is a lot different than fucking. You can sleep and not fuck.” I said, astonished that neither of them apparently could. Ambrosia raised her eyebrows at me. “But why would you want to do that when the latter is so mu
Chapter 41The meeting seemed to go on for quite a bit of time but it was all things that needed to be discussed. The Others were seeming to be a bigger threat than I originally thought they were, and knowing that I was wearing the amulet made me nervous. Not that anyone else knew, or could possibly find out. But it was just the thought that something so important was entrusted to me, of all people… A Human, with absolutely no power to even fight back and protect it. That was fucking nerve wracking. But as long as I kept my mouth shut about it, and trust me, I wasn’t about to tell a soul, then it would be safe. They would never think to look on me of all people. There were nine of us in this room. Nine people plus the one other Keeper that was still alive to watch over and protect the amulet. To me, that seemed like a small number… I kept forgetting that five out of the nine were Reavers, and two were Witches. Reavers alone had a span of abilities that made it near impossible for
Chapter 42I saw Nico light up when Rowen mentioned finding a way around the pet laws. I knew he wanted to find a way around it. He had been infatuated with Amethyst since he met her. Anyone with eyes could have seen that coming. But the pet laws were so strict, I couldn't imagine there would actually be a way around it. Could there be? Rowen wouldn’t really want to marry me, he was just joking around with his brothers. Right? The thought made my stomach fill with butterflies. I was torn from my thoughts when the subject was changed, and the brothers were at it again, bickering and talking about the random times they almost got each other killed. Their stories distracted me from my previous turmoil. Come to find out, Raphael was responsible for the decimation of almost the entire Necromancer race. To make it worse, he didn’t even let anyone in on the situation until it was too late. By the time they were called to help, it was straight into battle. What a card. Raziel seemed to b
Chapter 43I threw green fireballs and the first three that were heading my way, knocking them back into the wall behind them. This caused pictures to come crashing down from the wall above them. Glass shattered as they fell and skid across the floor in all directions. I then took one in a green fireball and snapped his neck, tossing his body aside. He wouldn’t actually die unless I decapitated him. He would wake up, but it wouldn’t be for a few hours. The other two were unconscious on the floor so I left them there and proceeded to use magic to pick up my dining table and slam it into the next two Vampire Hybrids that walked through my kitchen door. The act shattered my table, sending wood splinters flying through the air and into the walls. Then I heard chanting in Latin. I turned to see two Vampires raising the dead. “Fucking Necromancer Hybrids?” I snarled to Viper. “What in the fuck are The Others doing?” Viper hissed. “That is a good fucking question.” I huffed as I snapped t
Chapter 44(Ambrosia)I became aware of my surroundings slowly. But when the memories of last night started to come back through my mind, I tried to act like I wasn’t awake yet. I wanted to feel out where I had been taken, before I just announced to the world that I was awake. I kept my eyes shut and just listened, trying to keep my breath as calm and slow as it had been. I wasn’t sure if there were Vampires here, and they would hear my heart beating faster if I started to panic. It felt like I was lying in a bed of some sort. I could feel covers over my torso and I was at a comfortable temperature. So that was a good thing, right? I noted the smell of something cooking. I had no idea what it was. Something I had never smelt before, but it smelled like It would be good if I were to eat it. My stomach grumbled just then and gave away my position. I tried not to panic but I couldn’t help it. My heart rate spiked and a soft voice infiltrated my ears. “Ah, good, you’re awake. I was wo
Chapter 45Ramses came back soon after letting me know he checked on Katrina and Jade. They were both asleep and he didn’t bother waking them. He would bring them over in the morning. He then proceeded to pace next to me. “Talk to me brother, think out loud. Let’s work on this together.” He said. Ramses was always my closest brother. We just got along so well, and he understood me on a lot of levels, it felt like. Not that my other brothers didn’t, but I was just never as close with them as I was Ramses. I could relate to all of them though. I had my fair share of cool and calculated moments like Raphael, or my unyielding fiery moments like Raziel. I could be a jokester and life of the party like Ramses, or I could be quiet and reserved, hidden in the background, more like myself. The way that I was, was really dependent on the moment. Right now, I was fiery and unyielding on the inside, yet quiet and reserved on the outside. A fitting set of emotions for what I’m going through. Ma
Chapter 46“Come sit down, child.” The older woman said, motioning at an empty spot on the couch next to the dark haired man. I reluctantly walked over and I could feel his eyes, well, both of theirs, trained straight onto me. I just tried to ignore it. I had no idea what type of creatures they were, but honestly, I was afraid. The second I took my seat an intense feeling of doom settled into my chest and stomach. I was used to feeling fear around supernatural creatures. I was Human, it was normal for me. But this was so much worse, so much more intense. I knew he could tell I was afraid by the way I was acting. I was trying to keep my cool but It was exceedingly difficult. Neither of the angelic men said a word to me at first. They kept their eyes trained on me though, as if I was going to do something crazy. “You’re a pet?” The dark haired one finally said, breaking the awkward silence. My hand went straight to my collar that I just now noticed was still on. They never removed i
