Moon Glow Chapter 81
The inside was surprisingly like an ordinary house. They were in an entry foyer that had a marble floor with a mosaic design in it. It was a design that at first glance looked like an olive branch with a large number of leaves. Once you walked closer, the scene changed and it took on the shape of a wolf's head with green eyes peering through the foliage. The eyes were so realistic from that point of view, it unnerved Amaris. It felt like the wolf was really watching you. Christos paid no attention to the foyer and moved through the room quickly, having been there many times in his youth. The rest of the group followed single file Amaris was almost the last to leave. Lyle was still there and again he seemed to sense her feeling of being unnerved and put his arm around her shoulder and steared her away from the mosaic and out of the room. Once she was out of the room, Amaris felt better. Christos had led the group into a very comfortable looking living room with a large sto

Anna bounded forward and ran her hand down the marble counter along the wall. The three center islands were all stainless steel, but each one was set up as a station for making different types of things. One was clearly for meats, the middle one for vegetables, and the far one was for desserts. "Oh Taji will love this!" Anna spun around in a circle with a big grin on her face. "I am glad you approve." Christos said with an appreciative grin. The pantry is through that door over there. It has been well stocked. Do not use anything from this fridge or the freezers." He pointed to a big cabinet next to him. The girls agreed and Christos left to go get the others settled. "What do you want to make?" Anna asked looking like she was ready to sprint laps around the kitchen. Amaris walked toward the pantry door, Anna right behind her. She opened it up and both their faces fell. It was stocked floor to ceiling with MREs. "Really!" Anna exclaimed in disgust. "Don't these guy

Lyle and Amaris pulled stools over to the counter next to where Anna sat. Each of them grabbed up a bowl of stew and began to eat in silence. When everyone was done Amaris collected the dishes and began to wash them in the sink. Lyle got up. Looking for something to do he walked over to the stove and started the ketlle. "You look like you could use another cup of tea." He said to Anna, taking her cup from her as she finished the last dregs. "Amaris would you like one?" Lyle said as he began to move across the kitchen to the counter where the box of tea bags sat. He looked like he was moving in a daze, just looking for something to keep busy. Without waiting for an answer he opened the supboard and took out 2 more mugs. He continued to busy himself.Amaris finished washing the dishes lost in her own thoughts. Now that Anna was clearly out of danger and they were back to normal, Amaris realized that she could feel strong emotions coming from Lyle. A profound sense of sadness

The control room was a series of monitors and keyboard stations that had surveylance from all the cameras on the property, but also from other cameras in places that Amaris recognized from around the island. Marco, Taji, and Jason were there, but no Christos. They were all seated at different workstations. They had turned around to see who had just walked into the room. "Anna is going to stay with you guys now that she is feeling a little warmer." Lyle said to them as the girls walked into the room. Taji spun his chair around the rest of the way, and opened his arms. Anna went to him and he sat her on his lap like a little kid. Taji wrapped his arms around her and then spun them around in the chair like a merry-go-round. Anna let out a giggle and started yelling for him to stop or she would get sick. Lyle reached down and took Amaris' hand. Without another word, turned and walked out of the room. Marco stared after them worried. Lyle walked Amaris back the way that the

Christos stood by the table and waved Amaris and Lyle over to him. Lyle finally moved from the spot that he had been rooted the entire time. He placed his glass down next to Christos' and walked over to stand next to Amaris across the table from Christos. "This first tapestry depicts the foretelling of you being born. It reads... The daughter of the shadow rulers shall be begotten on the night of the brightest moon and shall be born on the same. A descendent of the gods, it will not be known to her what she is, but she will have many wishes for the lycan. With a power unknown to her she will lead them all together into one." Christos paused there to let what he had just read sink in. This was the thing that had lead to the death of so many including her own parents who she never even got the chance to know. Amaris could no longer hold her tongue. "This is it? This is why so many people have been killed? Why they have hunted me? This could be almost anyone!" Amar

Amaris started to shake her head and rose out of her chair. "NO! No. Nope. No way! I am not going to be some oracle that stuck in a cave year after year to have dreams for others to interpret and make or destroy other people's lives." Amaris was so mad she even pounded her fist on the wooden mantle that she was now standing next to. Christos looked afronted, but Lyle looked like he was about to burst out laughing. "What? what is so funny?" She said, now on the defensive. The grin that had surfaced suddenly vanished as Lyle realized the depth of her anger and fear. He got up and walked across the room and took her in his arms. "I'm sorry. It's not funny really." He said pulling back to peak at her face. "You do have to admit, out of all the serious stuff that Christos just told you, that is the one that you draw the line on?" He looked at her amusement starting to show on his face once more. Amaris stopped and began to smile. "Ok when you put it like that it does sou

Anna led the other three back to the control room. When they arrived the three men were in a conference at one computer. All three heads jerked up and looked to see who entered. Anna bounded with a smile to stand next to Taji who stood hunched over at the back. He straightened up and opened his arms in welcome to her. "Anna says you guys found something." Christos says cutting right to the point. Amaris looked around the room. All of them were looking very tired. This constant chase was begining to wear on them. Looking at Lyle, who had come to stand next to her, he looked like he had aged 10 years in the last couple days. Lyle noticed her looking at him, and her concern must have showed on her face. His look of love and that smile that filled her with warmth and strength. She reached for his hand and gave it a squeeze before turning her attention to the others in the room. Marco had started talking and pointing to the screen. "Anna came up with the idea to use the so

The room fell silent waiting for Lyle's response to the news. Since there was none, Christos decided that they should all head to the kitchen and have some dinner. This time he surprised everyone and pulled some frozen pizzas out ansd popped them into the oven. While they were cooking, they started their planning session for the next day and started giving out night watch assignments. It was decided that they would split the night into 1 hour shifts per person with the two couples going first as a two hour block each, together. They made short work of 3 large meat lovers pizzas and one cheese pizza for Amaris, of which she only had 1 piece. The twins just about ate one whole pizza a piece, but they were very funny telling stories of when they were little and all of the crazy antics that they got up to. Amaris saw that Lyle visibly relaxed some, but did not paraticipate in the conversation. Finally the food was gone and the kitchen cleaned up. Christos showed everyone to their
