Chapter 25
"Decisions are not supposed to be taken lightly" -- Karla Beato.
Nobody's POV.
December 10th, 2013. Katty's Study -- 12:00 pm.
The floor room is cover by stripes black and purple carpet. You have to give it to Katty -- she adores anything that looks different. A few Mayline wood chairs cover by a black leather. Katty's study is spacious. Her red velvet curtains were open. It let the light in through the beautiful wide horizontal windows. A big black desk stands a bit in front of the windows. In front of the vertical walls both sides stand tall and wide bookshelfs. In them where the books of the History of Vampires and races alike. Some of them next to the Sorcerer's history. Loreine Corestone was settle in the middle of the room closest to the right bookshelf. She has both her hands laying on the arm's chair. Loreine long blond hair with black high lights is laying on both her shoulders. She was wearing crisp off-shoulder black dress. It had a flower pattern on the right side. Her black skirt tightly finish at knee level. She wasn't wearing one of her many red trench coats today.
Loreine had black pantyhose with lace on top with black & white pumps. Jacob was walking in front of the right bookshelf. He was wearing his 90s rebel look as usual. His dirty blonde hair is pull back. Jacob has shoulder length dirty blonde hair. His hazel eyes are side glancing Loreine every so often. Loreine has a smile plaster on her lips. She looks up at Hana whom is pacing back and forth. Hana was wearing her usual grey suit, white shirt and black heels. Her hair is on a high bun not very neatly probably because of stress. She has being dealing with the private matters of the CoreStones. She is very loyal to them, and she is the closest thing to a friend to them. Loreine would categorize her as a very nagging aunt. Hana stops facing the wood double doors which were abruptly open. There wasn't a knock to let them know whom was it. Jacob was by Loreine's side instantly. He was shielding her from anything. Hana had her hands on her silver guns; however, she goes back to pace back and forth.
"You are using all your luck, Clifford" Loreine head pops out from Jacob's left side. Jacob looks down at her shaking his head. Loreine recognize the 12th Vampire Order Guard whom open the door. He was the same young man that Jacob deal with yesterday. Another one and him stand in front of the doors. They stand there, so the double doors wont close once again. They were wearing black suits, blue shirts, black shoes and strip black & red tie. Jacob stands back behind Loreine's black leather wood chair. Loreine leans back on the chair to her previous position. Clifford enters the room. He was wearing a similar suit to his 12th Vampire Order Guards, but he had white tie. Clifford glares at Loreine and Jacob as he moves to Katty's desk. Hana side glances Clifford as he walks pass her. She sighs heavily not even asking why is he upset. Hana stops pacing back and forth. She looks towards the open double doors "This is a private matter leave" She speaks to the 12th Vampire Order Guards holding the door from closing.
"It's not so private when you have super hearing" Clifford softly speaks, his tone was one of bad sarcasm. Hana turns her head around to glare at Clifford. The only thing Hana hates more than Jacob annoying her is not being obeyed. She has gain people's respect; however, in the 12th Vampire Order the vampires in here don't listen. They are arrogant. Hana thought Clifford was different; however, he only acts that way when Karla is around. When she is gone he goes back to being an ass. He can be nice which is very rare. His usual state is sarcasm and angry comments towards Jacob. That's not the way an Inner Council Leader should behave. The Lords and ICLs are supposed to be the example to follow. If the Higher Ups act as disrespectful brats then their Orders will slowly follow suit. At least some of the Higher Orders don't follow this stupid attitude. Loreine sees how Hana patience is dying "Okay then. Let's have it your way, Clifford"
Clifford grins eyeing the papers on Katty's desk "Until, Joshua comes of course. He'll be here at 1:00 pm" Clifford looks up side glancing Hana. He didn't like that one piece of information. It was obvious Clifford's anger was rising. Hana grins knowing she got the last laugh. Loreine smiles loving the scene before her "I'll ask the question. You answer them without wasting my time, Mr. Gunsolus" Hana informs Clifford with the nicest voice she could muster. Hana hates talking with disrespectful brats. Clifford stands behind the desk "It will be my pleasure" Clifford mutters placing a hand to his chest then bowing to Hana. The gesture is very beautiful; however, the tone of his voice said another story. Hana sighs heavily not even wanting to deal with him "Where you aware that a member of the CoreStone family was injure in your state?" Hana ask him calmly. Clifford looks her over seeing no visible recording device. Clifford locks eyes with Hana "Yes, I was in the room when the unfortunate event happen" Clifford response trying his hardest not to spit the words out.
Hana nods taking a step to the right. Loreine notices Clifford observing Hana. He is patiently waiting for any other questions. Hana looks up to Clifford "Have there being any searches for the fugitive?" Clifford glare at Hana for referring to Jason DeathLock as a fugitive. The 12th Vampire Order Guards by the door were glaring too. Jacob has an amusement grin on his features. Loreine sighs heavily gaining Clifford's stare "Do us all a favor, Hana. Do not refer to Jason as a fugitive" Clifford tells Hana between gritted teeth "It's Lady Hana to you Clifford. I have a tittle, so you better remember your position" Clifford looks up glaring daggers at Hana "You can glare all you want, Vampire. It will not do you any good in court, is that what you want?" A wide smirk appears on Hana's lips informing Clifford of his outcome. Clifford sighs heavily shaking his head "It will only be misunderstand by a bigger crowd. Loreine has friends in higher places" Clifford hang his head as he admits defeat.
Hana side glances Loreine whom is checking her french nails. She was waiting patiently for the interrogation to finish. Loreine has nothing against the 12th Vampire Order. They seem to get into trouble with more than one person. Hana returns her attention to Clifford "Perhaps, you shouldn't assume the worse, Clifford. I am here to clear the waters between our races -- once more" Hana tells him each word with an unreadable look on her features. She wants to make him understand. Clifford is not making it any easier on Hana. Clifford rolls his eyes not even looking at Hana "We have not start any search parties. Jason will come back sooner than later" He speaks a bit calmer than before. Hana shakes her head "We will not wait any longer, Mr. Gunsolus. I have Katty's permission to search all your properties" Hana mutters showing Clifford a sign paper. Clifford appears in front of Hana taking the paper from her hands. He reads through it moving to Katty's desk once more. Loreine looks up at Clifford terrified expression.
"We have reasons to believe, you have being trying to help Jason leave this Order to escape his crimes" Hana announces the news gaining both 12th Vampire Order Guards to gritted teeth. Loreine grins widely approving of Hana's ways. It took Loreine by surprise, but she should of known. Clifford and Jason are best friends; however, that doesn't excuse the stabbing her part. Clifford slams his hands on Katty's desk "You should have ask me first. I don't have Jason in my state. He ran away, and I have no idea where he has gone too" Clifford shouts disagreeing with the decision that was made. Hana didn't back down staring right at Clifford "Don't worry your little self. We have already finish the search, actually. We have him already" Clifford looks up at Hana a bit taken back. He wasn't expecting that answer. Clifford looks troubled for a second; however, Hana was able to caught it. She smiles sweetly moving her bangs out of her face.
"You have? how?" Hana gives Clifford her back for a second. She side glances the 12th Vampire Order Guards. their expression let's her know what's going on. Hana has a smile plaster on her features "Are you doubting the determination of CoreStone secret service, Mr. Gunsolus?" Hana mutters each word with determination. She turns around walking to the front of the desk "Our job is resolve matters that need to be handle with care. Don't worry, we'll look after Jason for you" Hana places her hands on the desk softly. She glares at Clifford grinning "You have to be playing around. Jason can't be caught that easily" One of the 12th Vampire Order Guards holding the door blurts out. Hana leans back from her approach as she looks back at the vampire whom spoke. The glare she give him was enough to make him lose his voice. Clifford clears his throat gaining Hana's attention. Hana moves her hands from the desk "We are prepare to win at all cost, Mr. Gunsolus. Jason DeathLock stab Loreine CoreStone after she calm Jacob WestBrook. He had no reason to take out his weapon"
"Yes, he did attack" Clifford affirms what Hana was looking to hear "I am very aware of the trouble he is into" Hana stares at Clifford as he speaks. She just wants him to get to the point "You have to understand, Lady Hana. Jason didn't want to back down" Clifford tries to explain something that Hana can't see. If he knew he is letting Jason look so bad "I tried to stop him, but he kept going. He was enrage by the fact Jacob didn't finish him off" Clifford adds staring right behind Hana. Loreine looks towards the open double doors "It's good to see most of you" The polite male voice mutters with a cheerful smile on his features. Hana turns around smiling widely when she sees the four males whom enter Katty's Study. Clifford shrugs staring at the four males "Surprisingly, you are one of the werewolves that doesn't irritate me as much" Jacob blurts out appearing in front of Joshua. Both males shake hands then hug for a small second "Good to see you too, Jacob" Joshua smile widely.
Jacob moves to the side, so Joshua could stare right at Hana. She nods towards the three male and Joshua. Loreine smiles widely "It's time for Clifford to be kick out of the room" Everyone stares at her not just cause her sentence was offensive. It was the cheerful way she declares the obvious. Hana places a hand to her forehead. Joshua walks a few step straight "If you could please give us a time to speak privately, Mr. Gunsolus" Joshua informs Clifford with a gentle tone. Clifford appears in front of Joshua staring right at him "Sure, it was nicer when you weren't in the room" He mutters glaring daggers at Joshua then walking pass Karla's body guards. Clifford's 12th Vampire Order Guards leave the room with him. Jacob closes the door poking a man on the shoulders. The man nods moving to the middle of the room. He kneels in front of it looking at everyone. Hana stares as he takes an small stone out of his inner black cape pocket. It was a knee level black cape.
When he places the small stone on the middle of the room. The small stone floats on it's own glowing a bit blue "We are able to speak now, Lady Hana" Hana nods towards the man "Thank you so much, Mr. Yorontild" The man shakes his head "Stop with the formalities just call me Blade" Blade mutters crossing his arms staring right at Hana. She rolls her eyes taking in Blade's outfit. He was wearing a male black suit, white shirt with black tie and black shoes. A mechanical vintage pocket watch can be seen when he moves his black cape. It was locate in his outside suit pocket. The knee level black cape an accessory all members of his family use for some reason "I love all your stones, Blade" Loreine speaks happily gaining Blade to notice her. He walks up to her kneeling in front of her "A pleasure to see you once again, Lady Loreine" Blade mutters taking Loreine's right hand. He kisses it smiling at her "The pleasure is all mine, Blade. You haven't change one bit" Loreine rolls her eyes as Blade stands up once more.
Jacob shakes his head smiling "Can you get the interrogation, Blade?" Blade stares at Hana smiling "Of course, I can. I learn a thing or two from my great aunt" Blade admits gaining one of Karla's Body Guards to rolls their eyes. Blade turns completely around "Stop being so full of yourself, Blade" Blade looks towards the male "Give me some credit, Vlad. I know how to do my job" Vlad rolls his eyes not even looking at Blade. Vlad stares at his twins brother next to him "He is not making it easy, Elliot" Vlad mutters to his twin brother. Elliot nods to Vlad looking around the room. He was searching for Brunette hair unable to find her. Elliot pokes Vlad staring at him "I can't find her" Vlad stops laughing from a joke Jacob did. Vlad realizes what he meant looking around the room. He turns around hoping to find beautiful brown eyes about to jump on them. Vlad looks at Elliot terrified "She isn't here" They said at the same time. Joshua turns his head around staring at them.
"Where is Karla, Joshua?" Both twins ask a bit impatiently. They needed to make sure she was okay. They have being gone for at least two years. They hate being send off into missions when they can stay and make Karla smile. She is very important to them. Joshua's smile disappears instantly "Where is Karla at, Hana?" He looks at Hana not as politely as before. He was horrified for Karla's safety. Hana takes her eyes from Blade to stare at Joshua. Blade was behind the desk using a couple of stones to work his magic. Hana wants the interrogation she had with Clifford send to Mr. CoreStone. That's what Blade will deliver plus anything juice -- he'll be sure to add it. Hana sighs heavily "Can we talk about this after Blade finish up?" Joshua shakes his head making Hana takes a seat on one of the leather wood chairs "I should of known. Karla has the fever. She has being in and out of it for a bit" Hana looks up at Blade when he stops working.
Blade has a very worried expression "When did it started?" Blade asks looking from Loreine to Hana. Loreine moves her blonde locks to her left shoulder "Don't look at me. I got stab by Jason DeathLock" Karla's body guard stares at Loreine surprise "It's a long story" Loreine adds not really wanting to talk about the whole situation. Blade shrugs returning back to work "I'll finish up in a bit then fill us in anything that happen, Jacob" Jacob looks up from the book he was reading. He sees Karla's body guards eyes on him except Blade. Jacob sighs heavily moving his head to the side "I really don't want to get into that topic" Joshua rise an eyebrow looking at Jacob "Why not? You are killing us with the waiting" Jacob sighs heavily leaning away from the right bookshelf. Jacob closes the book placing it back where he found it. Elliot and Vlad glare at him "Karla was imprinted on" The rooms went completely quiet. Blade gives a mirror to Hana. The mirror was as big as two hands.
Hana takes the mirror carefully "It will show you whatever happen in this state. I took the liberty to take the inappropriate parts of Loreine and Jacob" Hana nods to Blade as he puts away the other stones. Loreine looks at the mirror "A beautiful work, Blade" Blade smiles up at Loreine. Joshua turns his whole attention to Jacob "I knew I had to come here 6 days earlier" Elliot and Vlad haven't proceed the information yet. Joshua sighs heavily "Who imprinted on her?" Jacob looks up at Joshua smiling "You'll love this one. It was none other than Richard Kennedy" A bit of surprise was seen on Joshua's features. Blade stares at Jacob standing next to Loreine "A Kennedy? That's not bad at all" Blade mutters holding onto a dagger "Still. If he ever hurts her or tries anything on her. I'll be sure to kill him" A killing smile forms on Blade lips as he plays with the sharp silver dagger. Jacob grins widely "Oh, look! Blade is jealous"
"No, Karla is like my younger sister. I have being protecting her since she was 10, Jacob" Blade informs Jacob whom nods. Joshua sighs staring at Hana "What are our plans for Oregon?" Elliot and Vlad are still standing behind Joshua. They are thinking what to do about Karla "I'll suggest taking a break for 2 days then returning the 13th" Joshua nods looking at Blade. Loreine moves her right hand towards her "We were send to Chiloquin, Oregon. Karla was there for a few days before she got the fever" Karla's Body Guards listen to Loreine's words carefully. Joshua nods as his smile returns "is it fine if I go? Every werewolves knows who I am" Hana looks up at Joshua "Yes, you have too. They'll respect, Karla. Can you keep Richard away from her" Joshua nods at Hana. Elliot and Vlad stare at the similar hand made bracelets. They were hoping to see Karla when they return "We will not leave Karla alone. He'll have to go through us first!" Both Twins move in front of Joshua.
They shout synchronizing their speech. A smile appears on Joshua's features at their enthusiasm. Loreine stares at both twins outfits. They were wearing a working class 1920s male outfit. They had everything from the green striped shirt to the coordinate vest a darker green. The 1920s pants not like this generations horrible sense of male pants. The Holloway Twins know a bit of style with brown shoes. They weren't wearing a hat to let their short black hair showing. Their skin is a mixture of light and pale. They were disapproving of Karla being imprinted on. Loreine knows them as Karla's best friends. Ironically speaking they are Shape Shifters. Joshua was wearing similar clothes to Jacob except he had a casual jacket on. Hana was shaking her head "Sure, Twin Holloway's refrain from going ballistic" Elliot and Vlad hang their heads moving behind Joshua. Jacob grins at Loreine as she rolls her eyes staring at Blade. He was putting the silver sharp knife into this black suit jacket.
"If there isn't anything else. We shall get going" Hana nods to Blade words. Blade moves to the middle of the room taking his floating small stone. He places it inside his black cape. Loreine looks up at Blade seeing his black cape covers him. She shakes her head seeing Elliot and Vlad opening the door for Hana. Jacob takes Loreine bridal style "Here, Loreine" Blade mutters getting a bracelet from his pocket. Loreine stares at the silver flower pattern bracelet. It look very fancy and beautiful "It will help you walk" Loreine nods letting Blade place the bracelet on her left hand. When he finish Jacob lets Loreine stand. She was hesitant at first holding onto Jacob when Loreine sees she is able to walk. She stops holding onto Jacob for support "Thank you, Blade! You are a life savior! Leave it to Magicians to make my life easier" Jacob rolls his eyes speeding in front of Loreine. He holds her closer to him "Okay. You make my life easier, Jacob" Loreine mutters holding onto Jacob's leather Jacket. She brings him to her as she gives him a gentle kiss.
Blade rolls his eyes walking around the couple. Elliot and Vlad let Joshua and Blade walks first out of Katty's Study. The Twins follow after them quickly leaving the couple alone. Elliot and Vlad look at each others then at Blade back "What is it?" Joshua asks without looking back at them. Elliot and Vlad walk past Blade "When can we see, Karla? We can cheer her up" Elliot and Vlad blurt out at the same time. Hana stops moving looking behind at the Holloway twins "Right now. She'll sure get better. If she knows you are here. Come with me" The Twins faces light up quickly as they follow after Hana. Joshua smiles happily following quietly; however, Blade stares at his pocket watch looking at the windows next to him. He stares at the horizon for a second "Trá Rizirá Doh Eeri Ohmuru Atú" He softly whispers to himself before following after Hana as well.
Magician Ancient Languages (Have in mind I made my own original languages for the Magician race):
Trá Rizirá Doh Eeri Ohmuru Atú (The End is Coming).
Yes, I created a few original languages for races.
