Miracle Child to Save Them All

Find my Son!

Malachi POV

Idiots, all of them. Idiots! How hard is it to find one person? With the aura from the only natural born vampire in the world it should be the easiest thing on earth. These were supposed to be the strongest witches in the world. The only reason I stopped looking for the rest for these pathetic creatures is because I was assured no one was stronger. 

“My Lord,” Came from the doorway and I whirled around to see Lester, my second in command, he wore the same blank expression as always.

“What is it?” I hurried him along. “Do not mistake me for a patient man.”

“The witches say there may be someone using magic in California. It was very brief but someone phased, created dark clouds and used a glimore.” 

“California? Let me guess. Near the Snow wolf pack?” my frustration rose at the thought of my old friends pack. Friend? A friend wouldn't have done what he did. If not for him everything would be calm still. I would have my son..

“Yes. We believe it was inside of their territory.”

“But nothing of my son?” Nothing could be happening without him. He has to show himself eventually. Then I can end this prophecy before it begins.

“No, sir. Still no signs of him.”

“Tell… No. I'll do it.”

I pushed past Lester storming down the hall toward where we were keeping the witches. As I approached the door I realized Lester had the keys but in my frustration and not wanting to wait, I phased through the door. When I collected myself on the other side of the door my head pounded, the magical locks would keep any lesser being from phasing through.

“I thought I told you to find my son! It’s been 6 years!” I yelled as I looked around the small circle of witches. They kept telling me they needed a fifth witch to complete their circle but I wasn't stupid. I knew the power a full pentagram of witches held. 

“We are looking for your son,” The oldest spoke up first. “But it could be futile. Not even you know of his gif…” I snatched her up by her long grey braid before she could finish what she was saying. She screamed and clawed at my hand in her hair trying to get me to release her. I spun her around to face me, her light blue eyes looked like life was on its way out of her old, frail body.

“Maybe I will take one of your sisters over there and tie her to my bed until I can put another vampire baby in a witch belly!” I tossed her to the floor next to the other witches. If it were that easy I would have done it again already. “Then we can see what abilities it develops.”

Not giving them a chance to respond I stormed out of the room. I knew she was right. The possibilities of what my son could do are endless. 

Anna the Witch’s POV***

The door slammed shut with a huge thud and we immediately heard the locks click into place. I rubbed the base of my skull where my braid threatened to rip out of my head when Malachi held me up.

“Are you ok Anna?” Asked Rose. I looked up at her beautiful face. The captivity had her once glowing skin dull and her once bright green eyes were puffy and red. But her strawberry hair still shined and her warm smile was some of the little beauty we saw here.

“I’m ok sweet girl.” I said as I set my hand on her cheek to sooth her. “This is almost over. We will be free soon.”

“What do you mean? Have you seen something?” Bonny beamed.

“Free or dead?” Clara asked dryly. Captivity had been the hardest on her. She had no access to her element in here. I know it made her feel overwhelmingly useless. Malachi had to give us water and air, Bonny and Rose’s elements. But he was sure to keep any chance of fire far from Clara. My coven was my element, having these three kept spirit strong around me. Our circle was incomplete without an earth. She would be miserable here too. At least in hiding everyone had their elements. They also had fear of Malachi using us to find them if they used any power. We tried to resist but his compulsion is strong. 

“We will be free Clara.” I said calmly as I sat up.

“What do you know Anna?” Rose and Bonny asked in unison. 

“The child lives.”

Chester POV***

I had closed my link with Anna when I heard my father come in yelling about me. I didn't want him to be able to sense me, though if he hadn't by now I doubted he ever would. Either he wasn't as powerful as he claimed or my gifts are beyond what he could have ever hoped for. I owed my life without him to Victor, he gave his life to get me away from that sick man. He would have killed me before I could manifest any gift had I been left with him. I was a useless human as far as he knew. That is  until I slipped up when Ash was born.

***I remember with pure joy, watching my beautiful soulmate, Brooke, bring our perfect son into the world. As I layed in the hospital bed next to my sleeping wife holding our beautiful bundle in blue, I forgot everything else. My past. My father. My walls, and as soon as they came down I felt my father go rigid and felt the chill down my spine as he whispered my name and the realization came over him, replacing his momentary surprise with terror and then rage. I had my walls back up before he could locate me through the unfortunate blood bond we shared, but not before Anna could. I set Ash’s sleeping form down in the bassinet next to Brooke and stepped out of the room. I needed to focus and couldn't have one of them waking up and ruining my concentration.  

Once I was outside I got into Anna’s head just in time. She was seconds away from giving into his compulsion and giving me up. 

“Leave her alone father, she no longer knows where I am.” It was true, I had wiped it from her mind while I was in here. I also gave her spirit element a little boost.

“Chester, my son, come home.”

“Not a chance. I’m only alive today because I escaped you. I refuse to be your weapon.”

“I don’t know where you got that idea Chester, I would never use you.”

“You’re joking right? I’m in the head of one of your captures. I can see everything you’ve done to her and her sisters. I know what you’re after and I will personally see to it that you never father another child.” The rage that took over him was palpable and he began shouting demands and obscenities. 

I tuned him out and sent an apology to Anna for anything that may happen to them because of this. I felt her mentally hugging me as she whispered to not worry and to take good care of my miracle for he would save us all. ***

Anna needed me to know that she felt something stirring in the spirits today. She wanted me to keep a close eye on Ash. Today was his birthday so I already planned on being home as soon as possible. Just then my phone beeped, signaling that Brooke and Ash were awake and she was sending a good morning text. It was hard for her to adjust to being a stay at home mom but I was insistent that she homeschool Ash. I gave her all kinds of excuses and reasons why, such as public schools not being good schools in this area, I was bullied, I wanted him to have the best start possible. But honestly, it was because his abilities and gifts are just as unknown as mine were. And of course there was the whole miracle child who would save the entire magical world thing. I didn't want to take any chances. 

*Good Morning Beautiful! Tell little man Happy Birthday for me and I will call him as soon as I am done with this inspector.*

I shot the text response to Brooke, feeling a little sorry for lying to her. But we had a while before Ash came of age and I needed to explain things to her. I wanted her to enjoy her life as she knew it, simple and carefree, for as long as she could. I had no idea what the madness with my father would bring. Or if we would all survive.. 

I tried to shake the disgusting thought from my mind. I had work to do today and I needed to get home for my son's birthday. The other witches had been in hiding long enough. I needed to find them, protect them and find out everything I could from their seers.

Ouch. What the f**k is happening? I let out a loud cry of pain as I fell to the floor. I remember thinking my father must have found me as my back arched in pain and I blacked out from the pain and pressure in my head.
