I stood there clutching the official stamped missive from ma'am Vishnew ; yes I knew my mother was in on this with her. I 'd racked my brain for a few moments when a smile broke out on my face, yes there was definitely a way to turn over this, and maybe use a little of there own chicanery against them, then again, these two were n't pillock they were after all over 1000 eld old, I had to step very lightly, very lightly in title. Walking back in I sat to try and plan for the oncoming of a war as I put it, or just meddling mothers to put it even better. darn ! I really needed to talk to Lana about this and see what she thought, I knew that woman was no dummy and figured she 'd seen it even sooner than me. Problem was how to get near her again ? I was sure that lady Vishnew was having her view closely as I 'm sure I was being also.

I was late in thought not noticing when Dan walked up to me with the bill from our Holocene delivery.
'' Ok boss, it appears that everything was there, though I saw two bolt of fabric that were a little damaged. Uh boss ? '' Dan said as he laid the papers on my desk.
Looking up I stared for a instant, still lost in my thought process for a moment not recognizing Dan. `` Uh, could you reprize that Dan ? I am a short scatter brained at the moment, been a rough few daylight, '' I told him.
'' Yeah, I know boss, with all them new folks demanding your attention, I 'm not surprised. Knowing you though, you handled it like you always do cool and calm. '' Dan tossed back at me.
Laughing inside I thought to myself, 'shit Dan if you only knew, you 'd be running for the hills about now .'

Finally finished for the day I started to manoeuver home, as if the day could n't get worse. I 'd almost reached my edifice when I felt the stalker, sighing I thought ‘ Christ not again I really was n't in the mood for this,'as a thing of fact I was in a pretty foul mood as it was. Reaching out I wrapped the interloper holding him immobile, opening my mind I told him, < I am not in a mood to wreak foolish games with you. When I release you if you still come at me I will rip you apart, do n't doubt my might ! > With that, I released him and flashed out to my room, damn it ! The stupid love child was still coming !

Reaching out again I grabbed the startled stalker, then my powers vanished ! Son of a bitch ! I knew the ass could sense he was man now and yet the idiot still advanced ! Sighing I heard a gasp, then a call of infliction, finally a deafening sidesplitter, I 'd warned the bastard. Laying down I knew the wards would restrain things quiet and obscure boulder clay he was truly all in and my powers returned.
Awaking the next daybreak I tried to float off the bed and was amazed when I found that my powers were still gone ! Going down stairs I saw why, the vampire had wedged his self in a street corner all Night waiting cashbox I came out to release him. Sighing I just looked at the dumb love child, `` You really are pathetic, first you do n't realize who you are trying to kill, especially after hearing your fancy woman talk about me. Then you end up trapped in my stair well which I might add, I should leave you here to rot. Though I am sure that Lana would n't be none too happy about it. ''

Snarling, the man tried to swing at me and was immediately burned on his arm, `` You do n't deserve to verbalise her name let alone lecture about her ! ''

Slapping the man 's typeface, I snarled back, `` When I am far enough away I will set all these on you, you have to be the most idiotic follower she has ever had, she will thank me for ridding her of you ! '' With that I turned and left, the man shouting and screaming filth at me 'til I was out of ear shot. Finally I felt my powers return and I closed my hired man striking the retard in my step well with all the wards. It was a practiced thing I was the exclusively one that could hear his scream to say they were satisfying would be an understatement.

going her building I saw one of her lackeys stirring then he was searching around for his guard fellow, one looking at me and he just shook his head. Sighing I knew that there was a pretty big hole back in my building, problem is I did n't give time to take fear of it. Walking into my federal agency I saw that I was actually former enough to throw beaten Dan in. Then I remembered we had end of the month armory, ugh always a chore, one that I could finish in a few proceedings but not without raising suspicion. Settling in I grabbed the first base book and waved my paw over it hmmm only 3 things were off, opening the Scripture I notated them and reached for the second book. Waving my hand over it my oculus got huge when I found over half the leger to be wrong, growling I called up each item to see what had happened to it. I 'd just terminate the s script when Dan walked in the door sleepy eyed, then his oculus went huge as he looked at the 2 books.
'' Sorry knob, did n't know I was running late. '' He stumbled through the situation to his seat.
'' No, '' I replied, `` I just got up early to get started, hell this is almost half the day right here, you might get to go home early for a change. '' Dan smiled, I knew about the char he 'd started visual perception, she was thoroughly for him.

Finally finishing up for the day I made my way habitation, not really hungry I decided not to stop tonight at the restaurant. fountainhead I was n't 'til I was walking by and saw Lana, Gregor, and another ; the only way to identify him would be a dandy, a man made up looking pretty. I growled and stepped in leaning against the door jam, I watched for a few second 'til Gregor saw me and called me over.
'' Ah ! Johnathon Timmins ! May I introduce you to Reginald Pennington III ? He was invited by mother to help Lana and me through this difficult time here in these primitive conditions. '' Gregor said happily but I could see that the grin never reached his centre ; there all I saw was disgust.

Extending his hired man almost like a cleaning woman, I almost expected him to want me to osculate it. HA ! I 'd more than likely break his jaw before I even came close.
'' Mr. Timmins, I 've heard of your syndicate from Lord Vidon, a pitiful thing really, one that should been put down ... '' he started.
Reaching across the table I smashed my tighten fist into his human face, `` mind to me you pompous, little weewee ant, pop-n-jay, if I ever hear you insult my family unit again, you wo n't live or subsist the day out ! ''
The niggling man was picking his self off the level, indeed his jaw WAS broken, standing I bowed to a wide eyeball Lana and snickering Gregor, storming out of the building. Once outdoors and away from them I waved a mitt and was again miles out of town at the tilt stone pit. Damn it ! I 'd never lost my temper like that, I know I was n't a very potent man but I could take out some wrong, I 'd been at it for half an hr when I felt the approaching lamia front, erecting twice as many Mary Augusta Arnold Ward I sat and waited. If the dizzy boy wanted to die, I was more than happy to compel. Not too happy he was active again, he started to stomp toward me.

'' Unless you want to die very fast and very sore, I suggest you stop where you are. What do you want little man ? '' I sneered.

'' You insulted me and hurt my person I demand ..., '' he started.

'' You fucking demand ? I suggest you start walking away from me as quickly as you can, you insulted one of the honest-to-god mage families in all the world, therefore you insulted me, '' I looked straight in his oculus, I could see him shaking, all I had in my oculus was the icy cold calling of expiry and I was n't afraid to use it.
`` As I said at the restaurant, pursue this and you wo n't last the day out I WILL cause sure enough of that. You are obviously too stupefied to realize just who you are dealing with ! I am Johnathon Timmins of the European Timmins ! '' I shouted.

I swear the little man about pissed his pants when I told him who I was, `` Leave ! While you still can, I see you again and I will demolish you ! Do n't call back sniffing around Lana 's skirts will lay aside you either ! '' I turned as he started walking away from me, within a few bit I felt my power startle to return. bedamn it ! Now he 'd fucked up my bad mood ! Growling I had to do something more destructive, looking around I saw a serial publication of caves not far away. Thinking a moment I smirked hone ! Flashing out I appeared deep in the cave system erecting a vast barrier I started to blast away at the roof and rampart of the cave. Ah ! This was undecomposed wholesale destruction ! An hour later I felt Gregor approaching from far off shit ! Not now, all I needed right now was his impudent ass cracking jokes. red cent I just hope I was far enough underground for neither of us to affect the other.
Stopping almost directly above me, I felt Gregor 's confusedness, concentrating I asked him why he was there.

'' Why am I here ? You really have to ask ? After you spanked pretty son'ass did you think there 'd be no reverberation ? Already we 've had to put all our troops here on alert. Plus the fact that he was telling father that you attacked him without incitation. '' I laughed, Vidon would induce seen through all of the pretty boy's lies, plus he could see and listen what Gregor and Lana had seen.
'' So why are you here ? After seeing yours and Lana 's sights I know he no longer believes him. '' I responded.
Sighing Gregor almost cringed, `` uh ... he and your don want your sight, to shed light on all stop of the conversation. '' I started to express mirth, so this was their plan, force me to resign to a memory scan, everyone knew Father of the Church was the only one strongest enough to skim me. As if I trusted him now, there was no telling what he 'd try to plant while he was in there.
Gregor thought for a moment I had lost my mind, `` You tell your Church Father and thereby my father, that it will be an extremely moth-eaten, cold day in hell before I submit myself to a scan. I can extract the retentivity but that is all, I will not have another mucking around in my point, not while I am alive ! ''

`` I 'll try, '' Gregor replied, `` But if I know the both of them, they 'll be here within the next two days. Oh yeah, pretty boys'family is already on the way here, I am trusted you 've heard of him, overlord Pompoff. '' Gregor said in disgust, that vampire kindred was well known for all the atrocities they had perpetrated over the net three hundred. Thankfully they were small and not many followers survived long.
Laughing even harder it was a fighting to stay on my feet overlord Pompoff ! ? LORD ! ? Again Gregor must have thought I had lost my mind. `` Yes Gregor, I know of the Lewd Lord, as I am certainly most of the kin group do. ``
For a mo I felt Gregor hesitate then the laughter started, so lots in fact that I could say that Gregor was no longer standing a rarified thing with him in his lamia form. A moment later Gregor stopped and got serious,
'' Johnathon you know that his father could hale this, saying that you manipulated the computer memory. If what happened that night gets out you and I could be finished no matter what the circumstances. Though I do n't think they will do much to you ( as if they could ) the effects upon me and Lana could go on for a long time. Why ca n't we come clean about it ? ''

Sighing I thought long and hard before I answered, `` Because I made a hope that nighttime Gregor, Lana, even as old as she was, was nowhere virtually ready, plus the fact that her friend put herself on the seam like that. No, I will not lessen her memory or sacrifice, she was only man, but she was by far the most noble of us all that night. Lana does n't remember no one does, I removed it from all of you, it was hers and Lana 's wishing, you know proficient than anyone the love life I have for Lana, and exactly what I would do for her. This is one affair I can not do, not any more it is my pain and mine alone to abide through 'til the mark, not a moment before ! ''

Hating myself I grabbed Gregor before he could prompt and again removed all conversation involving that Nox, one of these days I swear Gregor was going to feature a really good shriek at me when I installed all the lost memories.
I sent Gregor back to near townspeople, embrace write up set in his intellect darn it ! I hated using my friend as a puppet. I was hoping that this signaling she 'd given me all those C ago happened soon, the way things were going I was very soon to be on the felon list. A place no one wanted me to be, considering I could take well over half any clan out with no problem, yeah they wanted me on their trade good side. Strange thing is though, an awe-inspiring lot more than citizenry were trying to suddenly 'help'me now more than ever before, what were they that afraid ? No there was something else going on here, I had heard rumblings the shoemaker's last hundred geezerhood about a few of the clans afraid of the power that mine now held. I had seen the quick scramblings to collect favor with Padre then mother. No one had even tried to go about me, yeah they knew better, knowing me I 'd probably take eaten them for lunch, ( I really could n't stand ass caressing, whiney, yes men, a good assistant but not a yes man. )

Withdrawing I had just appeared outside of town when I felt my father calling me, not fucking now ! Looking around I walked till I was hidden then appeared in my room, `` What ! '' I yelled as soon as I connected.

'' Danm boy ! That 's no way to greet your founding father, nor the drawing card of your clan. '' He started.

'' HA ! As if I care right now, before you ask I already know you know what my answer was. Do n't even think of it ! '' I said as I threw a very strong Barbara Ward up blocking what he 'd already sent.
Sighing he started again, `` I knew I should n't hold sent you over there, but the tribe demanded it before you claimed the header of the clan, I .... ''

'' I 'll tell you as I told them net class when my power shot past yours, '' I stated, `` I do not want the headland of the kin group, it is yours 'till you die or maltreat down. Since I am your tie-up in you are n't too likely to die too soon, so unless this is important then go away and give me alone ! '' I was about to shut when what he said next froze me to the bit.

'' I wish it was that uncomplicated, because of the offence I, Vidon, Pompoff, '' here he sighed, `` plus the full magical council will be there next week, there is cypher I could do. The minuscule piss-ant already has half the council on his side over laws that I started over 900 years ago. I hope you 're set up son, it wo n't be like 200 years ago, when it was just you, Lana, Gregor, and Lady Trina. '' I Had turned away at the mention of her name such storage flooding back into my soulfulness and mind. My father never one to overleap subtle hints, saw the tenuous tearing in my eyes as I turned, interesting he thought, let 's hope that this cure is n't worse than the disease.

'' I know that forefather, but if pauperization be, I will be branded a rouge before I will disgrace the family public figure. Know this, the last act I will perform before I do, will be to not only destroy that portentous footling prick of a son of his but to crock up the skull open of the Fatherhood. I 'LL have their Land run red with their blood line, this I promise you ! ``

My founding father 's case showed shock he had n't seen this much Passion from his son in well over 200 old age not since ...
'' We will endeavor to try and keep that from happening, though their clan is suspected of many offense '' My father stated.
I stood there for a while after that, I had a week at the most to prepare. nix was going like I had started it to, I needed to turn things around and soon but the sole way I could see that happening was to get Lana alone again. Try as I might though I really did n't see that happening literal soon either.

I lay down with a million affair running through my mind, plus all the plans I had to set in motion before any of them started to arrive. early on the next morning I had a small United States Army of carpenters start in on two huge construction to try and house the influx of visitant that would soon be in the town. adjacent I had to go outside of Ithiel Town setting Montgomery Ward and even to a greater extent protection than I 'd ever used before, had it not been for the circumstance that my family caused it would n't have been necessary but in this shell everyone had agreed to it. So it seemed that for the side by side week everyone in the townspeople was going to be human being whether or not they wanted to. That nighttime I could almost swear that Lana had tried to contact me, I knew better, vampire might be a lot of things, but telepathic I had n't seen yet.

500 mile away Evelyn Timmins was sitting at a table in a restaurant, beside her Lady Genevieve Vishnew was sipping tea when she waved her hired man at Evelyn. Immediately Evelyn, froze the room and a vision of Gregor appeared.
'' Mother I do not feel right deceiving my effective and only friend like this. '' He stated.

`` You 'll get over it, '' his mother started, `` what has gone on. ''

'' From what I 've seen he is beyond mad, his big businessman is at a height I 've never felt before. I am afraid it has everything to do with that night. I know I talked to him about it but I have no memory of it. '' Gregor replied. `` May I, '' Evelyn said, Genevieve nodded and Evelyn scanned Gregor.

'' It was as you thought, he has been erased and quite well I might add there is nothing, no shred of it at all. If it was n't for the rest track I might not even know someone had been here. My god ! If this Jonathon 's study he 's been at it for quite a patch, it takes hundred to acquire to this point. '' Vishnew nodded if indeed it was Jonathon then it might excuse why they 'd never been able to find out what happened that night. Once again it seemed that everything was leading back to the that dark, Vishnew and Evelyn had both investigated with the integral kin group resources behind them and had found nothing.

A moment later Evelyn felt the stirring of her husband 's communication, this had to be bad if Tom was actually calling her ! `` Evelyn, what are you doing ? Do you know our son has publicly declared that he will go rouge rather than sully the family name ? In other countersign, NOT go through the thinker rake ! ''

Oh shit she thought so the boy had more lump than she thought to dribble it this far ! `` I can be there tomorrow loss leader, '' she said in a functionary capacity.

'' No my dear, I afraid it is too late now, it seems that Pompoff 's boy insulted the category and Jonathon took extreme prejudice to it. '' Tom Timmins snapped. `` The stallion council along with Pompoff 's troupe, and ours will be there in a week. ''

Both Evelyn and Vishnew 's heading 's snapped up at that the WHOLE council ? Oh bull, this was bad really bad, as bad as 200 years ago when ... why was this and then starting to look the same ?

'' I am nearby, we can designate support of the family, '' Evelyn said, hoot they had n't seen each early in what a hundred geezerhood now ?

Only a moment later one of Vishnew 's lackeys specially picked for his telepathic ability spoke. `` Lady Vishnew, Divine Vidon requests you attendance. '' Looking at Evelyn Vishnew was reminded of the human being saying when it rains it pours. `` My gentlewoman, Lady Evelyn, '' the voice started. `` I know you both have been working to bring the conjoining of our offspring to fruition. It appears that a new though minor player has entered the contest. I and the kinship group have been called to where our young are at the acquaint. It appears the Reginald Pompoff has insulted the Timmins tribe, an crime that I myself could destruct their clan for, under the articles of alliance. That is had Jonathon not break the son 's jaw thereby throwing down the gantlet. It appears that the full force of 15 kin group will be brought to bear with the council but that the council is afraid it may not be enough after a sampling of Jonathon 's business leader earlier today. ''

Evelyn gasped she knew he 'd grown quite a bit these shoemaker's last 3 workweek but no where this much. `` Are you going to be added as a force to block him ? '' ma'am Vishnew stated, though she did n't think she 'd like the answer.

Sighing Vidon could only nod, this was wrong, he knew that Pompoff was going to take replete advantage of it but little did he be intimate that already half of his force play were already decimated, he 'd be lucky if he had 10 men by the time he got to US. Vishnew could only slightly grin, she recognized that smell her married man held he was already on the move good !

Johnathon awoke the next morn checking on the worker he hired more and started another building. beshrew it ! It was going to get really, really crowded in a rush future week. He had just gotten out of bed when he thought he saw an shadow ? What the hell ? Great that 's all he needed, hmmm who have I killed with a soul lately he thought. When nothing came to mind he shrugged it off starting on his morning turn again 'til it ran through the theater again. This time he was just annoyed, so doing nix he waited 'til it came again then he reached out and grabbed it.

After all there were no ghos ... that 's when it slipped out of his grasped and laughed a companion laugh, then slipped through the bulwark at the Lapplander place. Ok, ok, it had to be a trick there were no spirits no one had the power to land others back from death and once you were gone that was it. Was n't it ? A laughing came from behind him, `` Tsk, tsk Johnny, you know there are always exceptions to every normal ! ''

Without thinking Johnathon whirled and pointed a finger at the phantasm, `` I thought I told you to never phone me that Trin .... '' Falling to his articulatio genus Jonathon was look to face with the touch or sprightliness of Trina Timmins.

crying were streaming down his aspect, she was still as beautiful as he remembered her, bowing his head he began to beg her forgiveness. `` Please forgive me Trina, it should accept been me not you. ''

'' Johnny Timmins ! If I had corporeal build I would taste you around this edifice ! I told you never regret that night, you obviously do n't commend do you ? '' Trina stated. Johnathon only shook his head no. `` Though at the time I was solid than you, though not a great deal, I was dying. female parent and father did n't even have it off of it, though at the fourth dimension you did, oh my dear brother, you tried for a hundred years, but you were n't strong enough. Now it would be cypher, done in a few minute of arc but not then, I was well-chosen to do what I did, please, I am here to let you have sex it is almost time. When it is fourth dimension you will recognize the sign, then and only then can you give away what happened that night and let Lana and Gregor remember, ALL OF IT brother ! Or I might have to smack you a lot harder than I ever have and believe me there are ways ! '' With that, the visual sense of Trina faded

Jonathon could only flash, finally after all these hundred he could be release ? Sighing, yeah proper, all I had to do was survive the next calendar week ! Easy enough, there were only 15 kin group out there to try and hold him down while they tried to pry in where no one could .
