Chapter 28: a storm is coming

To say Layla won the fight would be a understatement to her skills this wasn't just a win all no this was a ass whooping the likes that boy had never seen before even his own man was scared shitliss seeing Layla brutality the fact she disarmed the boy in own smooth movement that not only disarmed him but also launched the sword out of his hands and flew behind Layla I simply raised my right hand out and cot the hilt with ease I leaned against the sword smiling but what Layla did next even I got pail she raised one foot and kicked him square in the balls so hard that the metal nut cup he had on was dented the boy hit the floor crying at this point but Layla wasn't done she stomped on his crotch again and again and again to the point I almost felt bad for the lad well almost watch stomp the lad whimpered and cried in pain but Layla didn't care with each stomp she said one word you fucking dear come onto this land with your nose held high and spout your fucking nonsense and not only that your fucking organization not only killed one of my friends but also targeted there families and yet you call us the monsters Huff bitch you have no idea the lad at this point was balling he reached out to Layla please stop please you will never see me again I swear I will do anything just make the pain stop get your fucking hands off me Layla gralled kicking him in the face which broke his nose Layla leaned down and grabbed him by the throat and picked him up with one hand she glared at him and in a low sweet voice she said you beg for my mercy when you wouldn't show us any what a fucking joke what about my friend Zigrin he was a good man who just wanted to me left alone in peace in the woods is that to much to fucking to ask or Zoltan he might have had a big mouth but he always had are backs he was a great man and on top of that he would have been a great father all he wanted was to settle down with his wife and start a family but cuz of fuckers like you that won't happen his wife will have to raise there child alone and that child will have to grow up with out a father do you know what's that like huh well do you her hands tightened around his throat and I seen the veins on the lads neck become visible and that blood red fire in Laylas eyes was even more intense if you started into those eyes you would see the horrors of war and I don't just mean one or two wars all no I mean every war that has happened over history the big ones and the small ones hell even the forgotten ones you could see them all the screaming dead soldiers all around your hands stranded red with blood body parts flying passed you and even huge explosions that turned people to ash and there image is burned into the wall or yellow gas that burns the flesh off your body bones this was the power a child of Ares wields this was true war and be it for good or evil the children of Ares everyone of them all dream of war and adapt to its horrors some adapt faster then others but most fight it for there hole life Layla has never ran from this she is one of the few who has thrown her self into those dreams no those tests from Ares she trained and killed monsters all for one thing to protect her self and those she loves or that's the case since she met me the fact that this is happening in her eyes its a sign and a gift from Ares him self what this gift entailed only Layla knows but I was proud the boy on the other hand was a different case his body had want limp a while ago he stared wide eyed at Layla he was slack-jawed with drool rolling down his face Layla huffed weak and she snapped his neck and took that chain mace of his belt before throwing him to the side her eyes sweeped over the others who shuttered under her stare she huffed again and turned around and walked next to me saying dear can you take out the trash I smiled grabbing her by the waste and brought her close whispering in her ear anything for you my queen and I snapped my figures open fire lads the second the zombies that no longer around me but in the carts on my left and right they swiveled the gatling guns around one had already reloaded the guns the undead clacked happily that's when I heard it click, click, boom, boom, boom the guns opened fire upon the man still on the horses who at this point had turned there horses around and was about to bolt away but sadly for them they was just a little to slow the man screamed as hole was blown into them but that's when I see there blood protect the horses from the bullets I looked down to Layla who's eyes were still glowing she smiled up at me what the horses did nothing wrong besides horses are fucking expensive in bulk so y shouldn't we save them I smiled I love you Layla giggled and like that the fire in her eyes was gone man you know just what to say to make me feel happy chuckled and whispered in her ear as I grabbed her ass o is that so well you better bark for it she smiled cheekily woof woof she even stuck out her tongue but that's when Evelyn yelled the fuck are those the fuck is that and what the fuck are you to doing don't you have any shame Layla and I looked to the front door or lack there of do to hole from the dynamite and standing there pale faced was Evelyn as she started at us Layla and I looked to each other smiled and looked back at her and at the same time we said Nope Evelyn mouth dropped open at are shamelessness wall Slade who walked next to her was laughing he looked to Evelyn with a huge grin what's wrong dear you bark for it as well snap after he said that a load and crisp slapping noise range through the air Evelyn was completely red faced with her hand outstretched Slade who was still smiling had his head turned to the side with a forming red hand Mark on his cheek he slowly looked back to Evelyn still smiling o so it's going to be like that tonight got it Evelyn covered her face and if steam could come out from her ears it would be Slade even spanked her as he looked at the damage I looked to Layla we both had a proud grin on our faces clack, clack, clack even the undead was laughing Evelyn looked to them angrily shut them when she said that her eyes flashed gold the undead stopped to stare at her but the next second want back to laughing at her Evelyn through her hands up into the air the fuck is happening first we get attacked by outlaws then get saved by two war legends then I get told the templars are hunting us then my front door gets blown open and bullets rain through my house then I see two people take out a group 30 of with ease then completely embraces a child of an Angel before killing him then kill the rest of them with ease on top of this 5 undead are laughing at me, me a child of Anubis of all people what the fuck is today I laughed shadow walking behind her you maybe a child of Anubis and the adopted daughter of Anput but that doesn't mean the undead will respect or listen to you especially when your weaker then they are Evelyn was shocked shaking her head there is no way I am weaker then them undead and what's that matter if I am shouldn't they listen to my parents authority I side shaking my head you got a lot to learn about your powers and of the underworld yes of course they listen to your parents authority b she cut me off saying see it makes no sense y they don't listen to me she huffed I glared at her flicking her in the head ow that hurt she said rubbing her head as she glared back at me I chuckled then maybe don't interrupt me then I looked to the hole examining the structure as I said now what I was going to say before someone interrupted me was but that's your parents authority not your own you ant your parents so naturally you can't us there authority and I know what your going to ask but Hunter that makes no sense ant I supposed to be a princess of the underworld and all that and yes you are but think about it what do actual princes and princess do other then the firstborns the other children have 0 authority all they got is a the same name and blood as the king and queen or what ever so the only way you can get authority and respect is through your own hard work , conrctons and power to put it simply let's say the underworld has a leveling system the higher the level you are the more authority, respect and gifts you get wall those who are at the lowest level don't got anything they have no respect, or authority there for they have no power or gifts know let us think like we was someone part of this kingdom and you wanted to hire someone to kill a goblin camp which would you higher someone who has proven there strength and is well known or someone you don't know at all and is at the bottom of the totem pole I don't need you to answer I already know your answer its just basic commonsense to chose the first person that's y you can't control them and I glanced back to her to see her shocked expression you maybe a princess of one of the underworlds but your a princess who hasn't earned there respect you might have used that necklaces from Slade and it might have made your soul stronger but in the end you wasted that gift cuz of your mindset and how you see the world ontop of that there is something holding you back something you fear I turned around my eyes glowing bright green and the shadows danced around me as I started down at her shocked face but that shocked face turned into shame and fear something you fear so much that is not only holding your self back but it's also holding your power and potential back you are scared to stare into your own abyss your scared of your power no that's incorrect your not scare of your power but how others see your powers you fear others will call you a monster and will hunt you down sense you wield the power of death and I only got one thing to say to that fuck them who cares y should you care about what others think of you the only words that should matter is from those you choose no more no less fuck the rest of them there words are just empty air Evelyn was shaking at this point and in a low voice she said you don't know what it's like I have been a outcast all my life do to my skin color and parents someone like you would never understand what's it's like growing up as a slave and a outcast the only saving grace I had was my mother and she sacrificed her self to save my life you would never understand I smiled sadly your right I would never understand what's it's like to be a slave and I wish I can say I can't think what's that like but I can and I also wouldn't know what's it's like to loose a parent nor would I even know the warmth of a parents embrace but I do understand what's it's like to me a outcast seeing I have been one all of my life Evelyn and Slade was shocked hearing my words Evelyn eyes want wide as she asked what do you mean Hunter you never felt a parents warmth you was born from somewhere I laughed indeed I was born from a woman but I wouldn't know who she is nor would I know if she is dead or alive cuz you see I am a orphan I grow up on the streets I had no one I had nothing but me my self and I and like I said I can imagine what's it's like being a Slave cuz you see I have been through the darkness I have seen the horrors of mankind and I spent a very, very long time in a prison but it wasn't a fiscal prison I didn't get three meals a day I still had to sleep I still felt pain and all that all Mo my prison was here and I raised one finger and pointed it to my head as a crazy grin spread across my face I was a prisoner in my own head and thoughts and as you all have seen or heard I am very curative and my memory is great so just think with about it for a second you're in the darkness just surviving with nowhere to go no home no nothing and the only place you can escape the darkness is in your head and dreams but even that is temporary that is how I spent my hole childhood my only reason I hadn't ended my self was out of spite and not wanting to take the easy way but some things happened and I made a friend who then lead me to my home to where not only my boredom was gone but also my prison I found what sort of peoples I wanted to be and I found the love of my life and to prove my point Layla walked next to me grabbing my hand I smiled warmly at her then looked back to Slade and Evelyn both of them had complicated expressions I smiled seeing this I tell you this not cuz I want your pitty just the opposite actually I want both of you to understand that this world all bad sure there is a lot of it out there but that just means we got a lot of work to do on top of that I wish for you both to understand that everyone has there own pain and fears and no one persons pain is greater then anyone else never compares others pain with others or your self got it they both slowly nodded like they understood most of it I nodded and turned back to the hole well your foundation is somehow still good so all you got to do is the frame and walk again which should be easy enough I hope you have left over planks and nails Slade nodded yea there in the barn I nodded taking off my coat and rolling up my sleeves well shall we get to fixing he nodded and like that we got to work the girls cleared the house of junk stuff that will either end up as fire wood or be belted down into something else wall Slade and I started sawing boards repairing the hole luckily they didn't us a lot of dynamite or this would take a lot longer its still going to take us a few days to finish it all that included fixing the bullet hole and I must say we got a shit ton of led which was going to be melted down also my undead took care of the horses well 3 of them did wall the other two dragged the bodies fear enough into the field and dug a hole 6 feet down big enough for all of the body's fresh free fertilizer I guess they was also stripped of there belongings everything down to the underwear the free leather and cloth from there clothes and saddles are definitely valuable on top of that all the metal we got be it from weapons armor and bullets you name it plus the all of the carts it was one hell of a hall and all we had to do was kill a few bandits and templar knights luckily Slade and Evelyn didn't have any neighbors around or they would have been asking to many questions and just like this a week passed Layla and I took the top floor of the barn to give both groups relationship someone privacy but only some but Layla and I had fun rolling around in the hay or something like that anyway the week passed quickly with Slade and I finishing everything wall Layla started training Evelyn how to fight fuck we had no lack of weapons and let me just say Evelyn was getting her ass kicked Layla was a very harsh trainer but she was a daughter of Ares so that's to be expected on my brakes I educated Evelyn on how the underworlds work but I didn't help her train in her powers sure we might be dead demigods but even so whatever works for me might not work for her besides the realms of power we draw from are completely separate so she will have to train that on her own she could also ask Anubis and Anput for help seeing how when I first started using my powers I had a vague idea what to do and what was going to happen do to the books in my cabins but Evelyn has none of that besides the Egyptian pantheon was a odd case especially for who runs there underworld cuz it us to be Anubis but he was soon replaced by Osiris so that was odd but he did become the God of funerary practices and care of the dead plus he made the embalming practice so the morals lived on after death plus he is the barriers of the scale of judgment as for Anput she was Anubis counterpart so basically they the same shit be worried but I guess I can't talk sense the Greek and Norse pantheons are fucking weird all I would have to say is Zues and Loki and anyone who knows there storys would agree with me all though come to think about it almost all pantheons have their weirdness so whatever time to get back to work I stood up but stopped when I heard the sound of horse hoofs I looked to the road to see one brown horse walking down the road with a odd clocked figure on its back my valuable detention activated and I sense two very familiar pistols I smiled and whispered loadly as I did the others heard me and seen the figure I walked up to him smiling the horse stopped and the figure got off it as he walked in front of it I stopped in front of them still smiling the figure and I stared over ever other but I held out my hand saying good to see you Bill the figure chuckled and pulled back his hood showing his face he took my hand smiling I it is lad and what's this Layla is here also man you all are a sight for sore eyes but I got bad news let us go in and talk but Layla yelled from the side Templars are hunting us and they already got Zigran and Zoltan luckily Zoltans wife was able to get away and if it wasn't for Hunter and I these two would have joined that list bill stopped shocked he side asking so you know I nodded and I throw him the scroll he cot it as I said indeed I was the one who sent Zoltans soul on his way we also killed the crow who attacked him as for Zigrin his name got cost out soon after he side looking over the names left he through the scroll back to me saying the rest are back at camp safe so is Zoltans wife and but Layla finished child he side again nodding as for Zigrin I found him or what was left they tried every trick in the book to brake him but that damn old man kept silent the home time in the end they just kept on healing him as they skinned him alive his house wasn't a pretty site I side asking even worse then a blood eagle Bill closed his eyes and pain, discusst and anger spread across his face he slowly nodding by the gods Slade said as the others walked over to us Bill opened his eyes I could tell he hasn't slept much or at all for weeks I killed one of the groups that did that to him but there is till the group that did that to him alive from what I found out this group is a very special unit only used when they want information from someone and they don't care about how they get it also each one of them are half-blood of a powerful ark angel that we all know as Michael you got to be shitting me Michael the fucking ark Angel and his children are hunting us how fucking perfect this day can't get any worse Evelyn said when we heard that a pained expression want across are faces and we glared at Evelyn like she kicked are dog or something what y are all of you looking at me like that she said side Pup she is your mate you knock some sense into her Bill and Layla nodded wall Slade side fine listen baby we do not speak words this those Evelyn was so confused y is that she asked Slade side again cuz we all know it can get a hole lot worse especially when someone says those words Evelyn laughed are all fucking stupid That's all fucking superstitions y don't you smell the roses nothing but Slade rushed forward and cover her mouth before she could finish we all looked around like we just robbed a bank and we was running from the law I side seeing a huge black storm cloud that started to form you see that shit Layla said glaring at Evelyn maybe I am going to easy on my training let us go if you got enuff energy to throw out red flags you got enuff energy to training Layla grabbed Evelyn and dragged her away Evelyn screamed no please Slade help me gods damn it help me she is a madwoman she is going to kill me kill me I say I know you can fucking hear me stop ignoring me fucking look at me you trader Layla Pat Evelyn on the back don't worry dear you will be fine you will only wish you was dead hehe no please o gods no Slade help but us boys was looking away from this Bill and Slade had pitting expression wall I had a frown as we heard her screams and soon I heard the sound of combat we stared at that black cloud that was slowly forming Slade side she just had to say it didn't she Bill side well she is wife lad your responsibility Slade side there coming I said my gold eyes staring at this black cloud as I did a cold feeling ran down my back and I felt a set of eyes and blood lust coming from that direction so you feel it to Bill side who wouldn't that's a lot of blood lust Slade said I nodded I would say we got only two weeks to prepare do you know how many Bill he nodded about 10 or so 5 of them are the children of Michael wall only 3 are really powerful that could give me you and Layla a run for are money Hi what about me Slade said angrily Bill looked him over for a few seconds then he shook his head you stand no chance Slade glared at him saying I have gotten a lot stronger sense the war ended I any that little boy anymore Bill side and looked to me for help I rolled my eyes saying enough pup he says you can't he doesn't want to dought your skill but you just started growing you power and well it might have increased faster after the war it doesn't mean you ready to fight some like that besides you and Evelyn will have 7 others to deal with or I or Layla fight two against one and Bill help you Slade side fine let us prepare I nodded as the thunder rolled in.
