"She must be a Nishruus, I cannot think of any other creature, that is all that my books have." States Gabriel before Jackson allows his emotions to get the best of him, I follow his lead by adding. "But is she working for herself or on behalf of someone else?" Jackson is the one to answer this time "They are usually controlled by a mage" It is my other half who chimes in, but leaves it up to me to share with the class..." Most Nishruus that I have met are unwilling to do the bidding of a mage. Since it has caused most of them to go extinct." The boys by now catch on that little Scarlette could not have access to such knowledge since I was thrown into the deep end literally days ago! "Hmmm, I have not met any mages in New Orleans only witches but then again Mages have gone into hiding since the witch-hunting times, sorry Jackson, but the werewolves were used to scent out the mages which was a bit harder to do with witches since they use the elements instead of tapping into hell for it

Gabriel packs a backpack full of books for me to study our problem at hand on our two-hour journey back to the French Qaurter. Since we still have left over and snacks we won't have to make any pit stops on our way back. I wonder if my UK license would work in the USA I will have to ask Gabriel about that later since his old as dust he should know the answer, I mean we should take turns driving right?About 40 minutes into the driver Jackson and Gabriel switch seats so that Jackson can drive, he seems calmer now."Do you guys think my UK License would work in the States?"As predicted Gabriel answers, no reason it shouldn't it is a full license yeah?" I at him "Obviously Gabe, I dinnae ken one could operate a vehicle with a license that is cut in half now ken ya?" They both break out with laughter.As soon as their laughter dies down Gabriel's phone rings. "Yes," He chose to answer on the loudspeaker "Philip has not checked-in in three days." Gabriel's fist clenches "When did you notic

As we open the door we hear a commotion inside, Gabriel has to use human speed to get behind the bar to pull some brunette with curled hair off Lydia whose face we witnessed her bashing into the counter then pulling her backward and punching her square in the face, poor Lydia isn't even fighting back she is just taking the punches and screaming. Gabriel rushes to pull the woman off Lydia and I rush to Lydia to help her with her injuries but she is so traumatized that she screams louder when I touch her after she was thrown on the floor like a rag doll. "Hey darling, it's me, it's me Scarlette, please let me help you, lass." At the sound of my voice, she calms down and starts to weep like a baby and holds on to me for dear life "Who the fuck are you?!" The girl being held around the throat one arm bent behind her back and her body against Gabes, something inside of me does not like the picture I see before me and I think Gabriel knows it because he smirks when my eyes narrow at the bi

After Gabriel's announcement, it was understood that all will assist in finding the mage, we informed Jackson that all the vampires are at our disposal, and if there is anything Sasha can tell us it would be helpful he informed us that they will be by tomorrow. I advised Jedreel he can stay or go back to our dimension since he is my second wherever there is he needs to ensure things run smoothly while I am on Earth. He said he needs to go but will he is at my disposal whenever I want or need and then disappeared into thin air. "To answer the question you asked before we walked into this mess, I live in the apartment across from yours. Now that I have met you I don't think it was a coincidence that you rented that one. Matter-o-fact, I think Mary had something to do with it." I look at him knowing full well that, that could very well have been what happened because it is her that are having the dreams or is it me? It is you who are dreaming Scarlette she says in my head, I am just h

"Where is Lydia?" I ask interrupting the scolding that Markus was getting. "I laid her on the counter top." And now it's me who Narrows my eyes "From the floor to the counter top? You reckon because you are a preditor she doesn't deserve comfort? Or do you feel that since she is the reason Philip is missing she gets what she gets?" Markus backs away from me, the memory of my shift and Phoebie dangling in the air clearly still clear in his head. He shakes his head from left to right, "I didn't know what to do with her." I turn to Gab smiling sarcastically "Do you not have a sick bay for staff who are not allowed to go home when they feel unwell?" he looks at his shoes, "I have always only employed supernaturals at the Swig and Swine." I shake my head at the both of them, "Where does Lydia live Gabriel, this should have been on her CV if I am not mistaken." He takes his macbook out from one of the locked draws in his desk, unlocks it and then goes to his employ

The next morning I awaken to a message from Gabriel that he and Sasha will be by in an hour I react with a thumbs up and move to the coffee machine, Oh did I mention the apartment came with a Keurig? Best damn accommodation ever, so I put an Esspresso pod into the machine with a large red mug with a black heart on it and head to the bathroom to relieve my bladder and shower, as I sit on the toilet I notice the wetness between my legs and the puddle in my undies. I emerge from the bathroom in a black tank top a pair of blue skinny jeans and my white Converse hair still wet and head for my coffee I notice that the mug is standing next to the machine and a white mug with a black heart is in the machine frowning I look around to see Gabriel standing on the balcony, I fold my arms "Gabriel?..." He turns around "Scarlette." he simply states "Please don't do what you did in the shower again, I would smell you this morning before you even woke up, matter-o-fact I could smell you last night

Jackson and Sasha arrive just as Gabriel finishes placing the breakfast muffins he made from scratch on the table, How in the hell did he do all this in an hour? Vamp speed, the only reason why it took an hour was because well the human equipment is on their own time, but if he could make them do things on vamp speed I am sure he would have. I open the door to welcome the two in, "Oh damn Scar I didn't know you could cook it smells great in here." I laugh boisterously, "Jax if I cooked we would all die, Gabe is in the kitchen." We all laugh "Well what woman doesn't love a man who could cook up a storm" says Sasha, well damn great minds think alike don't they? I lead them to the kitchen table where Gabriel is waiting, he got the juice out, a pot of filtered coffee, a pot of hot tea, and one of iced peach tea, the man went all out. As we dig into our breakfast it is Sasha who starts the conversation "So I was running down the alleyway because I was on my way to the Swig and Swin B

"And remember, no shifting or sex for a week that means 7 days, know what, Charlotte, why don't the Luna stay with you for the week." I Smile at her sarcastically, "No problem at all." She has a thing for Gabe and she doesn't like the attention Gabe has been showering me with so she pretends to not know my name. Typical bitch behaviorMary is having a roasting show in my head for Lana, it is honestly comedic even Gabriel burst out in laughing fits every now and then as if he cannot contain himself."Thank you for coming Lana." He shakes her hand but she was clearly leaning in for a hug in my head Mary makes a snide comment about desperation looking bad on a stunning lady.Jackson asks Sasha if she would like a lunch date with him before they have to spend the week apart to which she accepts his offer "Oi, what is she going to sleep in? Are you saying we cannot leave you unsupervised?" Both of them blush beet red I face palm myself damn it it's as if I am amongst a bunch of teenagers.
