Lucifer involved more humans. Kitten's smile seemed demonic and crazed. Her lips cracked and bloody and her eyes never blinking. No scent came from her body.
I looked around and saw nothing but cops. Kitten was nothing more than a human. She's the first to kill.
"Well, finally we get to meet face-to-face. Little Kit is all grown up. Sorry to keep your parents from you for so long. I…" Kitten's voice was smooth and perfect. She sounded small and innocent, a complete contrast of her monstrous face and demeaner.
My blood turned cold, "Are you done?It is time someone killed you."
Santino slowly scanned the crowd. Lucifer had disappeared. I clenched my fist and took a deep breath. I smelled the traitor, but didn't want to pass on the chance. I charged at Kitten, then she disappeared, "Shit!" What was she?
The smell of Mint and Thyme. Humans with the tendency of selfishness always smelled of herbs. "DARLING AND AMIGO! BRING YOUR ASSES TO THE FRONT!"
Santino laughed. 'Nice one!' he didn't have to say it out loud, but I know him well enough.
I watched as Darling sashayed to the front of the line. The military still had their guns trained on Santino and I.
Darling opened her mouth, but I was already in front of her. I sliced her throat and began reclaiming my yaria. Her Mint scent vanishing with each passing second. I felt her life slip and I dropped her body. Weakling.
I looked over my shoulder and saw Kitten staring at me. She tried to mock horror, but it only twisted her face to look more sinister. I wanted to attack her, but something told me that was a bad idea. There were a few bullets that bounced off my body. I smiled and ran back to Santino's side. No point hiding my abilities now.
I turned my attention on Amigo. He was in the middle of the military men, towering over them like some inhuman beast. The humans around us started to grow frantic. I sensed their uneasiness. They were awaiting orders.
Santino incinerated Darling's body as I moved toward Amigo. The humans took a step back and Kitten smirked. I ignored her. She was looked to only want to observe. Her not having a scent rattled my nerves. "Why do I sense my blood in your veins, Amigo? Did Lucifer share some of it with you?"
Amigo was silent. He raised his hand, and I couldn't see him anymore. Then he was behind me and struck my spine. The blow was more powerful than I expected. I actually felt pain from that blow. Santino moved to my side. "He's not human," I didn't take my eyes off Amigo.
Kitten laughed, "He is not a human of this world. Be careful, this may actually be a challenge for you and your bodyguard." Her eyes wide and unblinking, she chuckled.
Santino braced himself. "I can handle this Kit. Just push back the humans. We need to hurry and get to Don and your parents. We need to leave this planet."
My anger started to fester. Why were they so eager to get me off this planet? "Okay." It's been awhile but I jumped in the air. My wings of ice spreading and chilling the air with each wave. The humans started to shoot at me. My patience was short. I let go a barrage of icicles down on them. Heavy and cold. They dodged the initial impact but to no avail. Each icicle froze anything within 50 feet of its initial impact. Heavily armored vehicles moved in our direction. "Ooo, I wonder…," I teleported into one of the vehicles and wondered if Seraph was safe. When in the vehicle the men and women looked shocked. Before anyone could pull out a weapon. I smiled and asked them nicely to kill each other for me. Darling's borrowed power was definitely useful. I watched as the vehicle slowed and the smell of blood enveloped it. I teleported into each of the vehicles and did the same thing.
When done, I teleported back to Santino and Amigo. They were still fighting. Santino was holding back. I stood next to Kitten. "Tell me why I shouldn't kill you now."
She laughed. "It's impossible for you to even touch me in your state. If you reunite with your mother and grandmother, then I will be worried."
I frowned. Santino started to release his volcanic smog. I felt my mother and father getting closer. "Well, you can talk to my parents first. I grabbed Kitten by the shirt and flung her ass in the air my father caught her. She didn't scream but I felt her amusement rise when she saw my mother. My parents flew down into the safehouse.
My mother nodded and I understood. We needed to move now. I turned to Amigo and Santino. Amigo was choking on the ground. His lungs had filled with the volcanic smog from Santino. I walked toward the beast. He choked in pain. I froze his limbs as Santino set them ablaze. Amigo howled in pain. His eyes were pleading.
"You can take your yaria now." Santino looked at me. Then glared down at Amigo.
I looked down at Amigo. I removed my yaria from him. It was only a little but enough to make me feel stronger.
We ran to the house and my parents were alone. "Where is Kitten?"
My mother seethed, "Gone."
I nodded and started to run to the tunnel. Everyone followed.
I flew as fast as I could to the hospital. Lucifer was definitely here. I could sense him. Something else was there as well
Santino froze, "What the fuck is that?"
"I don't know. I have never felt something like that before. It's even stronger than my parents and yours combined. I didn't think one individual source of yaria was stronger than my mother's."
My parents were silent.
"Let's find Don and meet the others. We gotta get all of your yaria back. Wait, let's call the others. Tell them to meet us here."
I stared at my mother and father. "What are you two hiding? This isn't the time to withhold information."
My mother's eyes were dark and angry, "Your grandmother is coming. Kitten is from our home planet, and its power is equal only to my mother's power."
Santino made the calls and I sat on the ground in front of the hospital collecting myself. I could feel that strange yaria more intense than anything I have ever felt. My grandmother. I want to meet her. I only heard stories. I never knew she would actually be a part of my life.
I took a deep breath. A lot has happened in the last twelve hours. My parents are alive, humans know that we exist, Kitten is from my home planet, I have to take all of my yaria from my human allies, and I have no clue what is happening outside of what I am doing. This is a fucking travesty. My control on this situation decreases with every second. My weakness comes from not having control of a situation. I need to feel in control.
Santino finished his calls and all of the team were on their way. "Our families are from different planets."
"I already knew that. My parents talked of Tarkel thousands of times."
Santino sighed, "That is where my family is from, your father and mother are from a planet called Sanctuary. Even though your parents were raised on my planet. It's said to be the first planet. Where all of the 'Archetypes' for all beings stem from."
I looked at my parents, "Archetypes?"
My mother spoke, her voice was distant, "They are the first. Our Maker created us and this realm of existence started his experiments on Sanctuary and created all life that exist. Each planet had multiple Archetypes that went to start their societies. It's…a bit complicated."
"So is Kitten, one of these Archetypes?"
Everyone shook their heads.
"Is she the Maker?"
Santino frowned, "No, we believe it is our Maker's equal. There are multiple Makers and multiple realms. Kitten is the Maker of a collapsed realm."
Damn! The others arrived. I wanted to continue this conversation but knew it would have to wait. Jolly, Nano, Freed, and Dynamite, looked at me with concern. They all looked drained. I looked them all in the eyes and explained the situation and what needed to be done.
I drained them all. None survived.
