Chapter Eight
Anna was staring at her solemnly, her brown eyes pools of seriousness. Glory felt her heart start to speed up a little.
“ A plan? To save your people?” Glory glanced at Gabriel. His golden face looked perplexed, like he was thinking about something challenging.
“ Let’s start from the beginning, shall we?”
Glory snapped her attention back to Anna.
“ Yeah. I think that would be good.”
“ A long time ago, in a far away land lived a fair maiden.” Gabriel started.
Anna cut him off with a hiss.
“ Gabe, stop it. Don’t try to glorify this,” Anna commanded, sighing. She turned back to Glory.
“ This isn’t a fairy tale, Glory. It’s filled with creatures that makes the fairy tales bad. But we all think you need to hear it. So you will understand how important you are.”
Glory nodded and stared at Anna, waiting for the gruesome story to unfold.
“ Our father, Santiago Montez, has been the ruler of our world for many centuries. Under his command, our people have not destroyed the human race. The shape shifters survive off human food, and only hunt animals. Our kind, instead of killing one person, feed small amounts off of many. We try to live in peace with humans. Even the witches have been peaceable lately.” She stopped when Glory’s eyes turned round.
“ Witches?” Glory questioned.
Anna smiled, and laughed quietly.
“ Yes, witches. They mostly stay together though, and only talk to us if there is an emergency. They are pretty much harmless.”
“ Pretty much?” Glory swallowed. Anna’s grin grew larger before she continued with the story.
“ We have lived in harmony with humans, but since our father was killed, there are others who are trying to overthrow our command to make the human race their personal slave trade.”
Glory looked at her questionably.
Gabriel butted in. “ Basically make them their never ending food supply.”
“Oh.” Glory breathed.
“ Or make their own army of vampires.” Anna added. Anna and Gabe looked at each other grimly.
“ Since our father died, Aden should be the next one to take over, because he is the oldest. But our enemy, Nicolas Gonzalez, found one Witch loyal to him. He had her place a very intricate spell on Aden.” She paused.
Glory leaned forward expectantly.
“He is not able to Love anyone until a human is fully, and completely in love with him. And they cant just say it, believe me, we have had countless people say they love him, but the spell wont break. Nicolas placed it on him because he knew it would make Aden a ruthless person, incapable of making anyone love him.”
Glory sat a moment, pondering all she had just heard.
“ What makes you think its me?” She finally asked. Anna and Gabriel looked at each other.
“ When Aden was younger, he used to say a name, your name, over and over again. He didn’t even know he was doing it. We have been following up on all the Glory’s we were able to find, and you seemed to fit the description the best.”
“ Younger? I thought vampires were created.”
“ Well, some are. The majority of them are. But you see, we were born Vampires. We are able to control when we age, and if we age at all. I could stay seventeen my whole life. Or I could age a year, etcetera.”
Glory nodded, in awe. “ That’s amazing.” She smiled.
She suddenly though of something else.
“ The tiger, and the cheetah, they are some of those who are loyal to Nicolas?”
Anna nodded, her beautiful face looked drawn and tired.
“ They have some how found out about you. And unfortunately, Nicolas has followers as well. We have tried to recruit as many as we can, but some are just bad.”
Someone entered the room. Lupe stood there, looking gorgeous.
“ Senorita, Glory has been through a lot. Shouldn’t we allow her to rest? You can always speak with her later.”
“ Of course, Lupe. You are correct. Glory, we will speak with you later. I do believe Aden needs to be confronted. He is currently ripping trees out of the ground in anger. We need those trees for cover.” Gabe grinned at them, and ushered Anna out of the room.
“ Come, mi Amiga. You will rest. I will give you my room.” She noted Glory’s panicked expression.
“ And I will stay with you. You will be safe with me.” Lupe guided her through the rooms to an large bedroom.
Lupe gave Glory a change of clothes, and helped her get settled in the King sized bed.
“ Gracias Lupe.”
Lupe smiled and moved away.
Glory watched Lupe move across the room, with a grace eerily like Roslyn’s. Curiosity flitted through her mind. What was Lupe? Was she a shape shifter? What did she shift into? Exhaustion slowly clouded Glory’s mind, and she drifted into a contented sleep, all the details she had learned swirling around her head.
