Lycan’s Slayer Mate

Chapter two. The gifts

I wake up with the sun shining into my bedroom window I forgot to shut last night then I hear it. The earth shattering, curtain flapping from the windows snore from none other than Bre. I glance at her and hold back a giggle from seeing her holding onto a sword that’s longer than my leg like it’s a baby or a boyfriend. Possibly both. We live in a small neighborhood full of all the Slayer families around and ever since I can remember Bre has lived next to me and been like a sister to me. Waking up to her being asleep with a sword in my room is actually pretty normal to me. I wake up at least twice a week like this and every time she says it’s because I sleep walk and she was just protecting me while I was vulnerable yet she’s the only one that ever wakes up somewhere different from where she fell asleep. It’s either that or it’s nightmares and she’s just a baby. Who knows. I get out of bed and creep closer as stealthy as possible while stretching my body into action for my next move. I stretch my leg and quickly kick her leg off of her sword she’s cuddling and back flip to the other side of the room while Bre does Bre and that’s wake up swinging. At this point I’m about to pee my pants in laughter since I didn’t do my morning routine before I decided to poke the bear and the bear is half naked swinging a sword with sparks flying from it clashing with my metal bed frame mumbling words that sound like kitchen twatt. I finally bust out laughing while I see the sleep haze fall from her face as I’m walkunning to my bathroom. “ I’m taking a shower sleeping beauty” I yell over my shoulder just to feel a quick wind and Bre reach for the bathroom door two seconds too late as I had already ducked under her arm and was rounding the shower. Sticking my tongue out. “ Fine but don’t forget we gotta go to GG Jo’s I an hour, I’ll hunt down food and get coffee. But you’ll pay for that kick in the future” Bre sang in an innocent sing song voice.

I just stood in the shower letting the steam from the shower fog up my bathroom and the heat from the water slowly relax my muscles. No sense in washing my hair when I did last night or was it this morning? I thought to myself as my mind started to drift off to the curiosity of what on earthGreat Grandma Jo came up with for this mission. The old bat was hilarious and I loved her more than I could ever explain but her ideas were just genius and a little weird which just made them more appealing. She always referred to them as our toys because she said watching us fight was like watching dogs play with a toy. Since this set of toys will hold us for a year I’m expecting some pretty crazy inventory of inventions.

Little back story on slayer’s and slayer law is that once a slayer has completed so many missions they get one year off. One complete year of no calls, no 911’s , and no threat to just be what the world considers normal just not normal to us. It’s kind of like a vacation and after that vacation from life you come back to a Slayer Choice meeting where you have to publicly announce rather you choose to be a Slayer for life and you are then assigned a chosen one, or if you want to walk away. If you walk away you’ll be cleared of all your slayer memories and get to be a normal human and die as such. We only have maybe a handful on record that picked human and all of those were because they were weak and had fallen in love and couldn’t let go. It was disgusting to think someone would give up so much to do what? Argue and fight over dinner and bills until your skin sags and you die? No thanks! That’s not for me and definitely not for Bre, we genuinely love what we do and we’re not only the best in our class but the best the Slayer world has seen yet. Some say it’s because Bre can sometimes grab a glimpse of the future since she’s a descendant of GG Jo but they usually change their minds after they watch us fight as a team. Our motions together become one big monster of pain, we can not only feel with the others intentions our from each other but from our opponents. We can literally almost call to each other’s body parts and use them as our own. We’ve never been able to explain it fully to anyone and GG told us not to. To always just claim we have “ that bond” or “ we’ve trained together for so long it just stuck”. Even an i***t shouldn’t fall for that because we literally read our opponent not just use each other but it is what it is and nobody seems to realize they just tell us how great we are, or talk crap behind our backs. I mean we move so fast and become a blur it’s like one body with four arms and legs and thinking about all of it makes me burst into laughter. The last time one of the bimbo slayers named Tiff were caught by Bre talking crap about me behind my back she ordered a spar with Tiff and she got to pick five slayers for her team. Within fourth five seconds Bre and I had fully submitted all six opponents and had everyone either looking at us like we were a star, wanting us to be their chosen one, or quickly running away since they were team Tiff.

I hear my bedroom door slam jumping me out of my thought as I hear Bre yell out to me. “ Coffee is here and I paid so you better have saved some dang hot water”. As Bre swings my bathroom door open placing my favorite coffee on the counter by my sink and quickly starting to take off her clothes as I make a run for it out of the shower and to my towel and coffee. I don’t want to be wet and naked when she remembers I kicked her this morning, that’s just too vulnerable for my taste. I wrap a fluffy bath towel than robe around me and hop up on my bathroom sink sipping my coffee and swinging my feet. “ oh my heavensssss I always love your shower, you have so much crap in here that all smells so good and the best for body and hair I feel like I’m at a dang spa” Bre yelled since she didn’t realize I was still in the bathroom. “ well sorry to disappoint Bre but I already packed up everything for Vegas besides a comfy outfit and some random bathroom supplies that were almost empty. You need anything from your house still?” She doesn’t respond right away so I casually take a sip of my coffee, she’s probably just relaxing in the shower. I notice I don’t really see her silhouette anymore so I peeked my head into the shower to see Bre slumped down and sideways with her titled up against the wall of my shower and her eyes white as snow but frozen like ice and she looks like she barley got the shampoo put in her hair before she went down. “ B” I yell…. No response. “ B” I yell again this time tapping her face and again nothing I yell again as Bre start shaking and flopping around in the bottom of my shower just as my mom comes running in looking like she a warrior princess. She must have been in a mission last night or going to one. “ M get use to this she’s coming into her powers and you’ll have to learn this to keep her grounded pay attention. “ My mom yelled at me as she grabbed her necklace and dangled a charm directly in front of Bre’s eyes as she took her other hand touching Bre’s forehead, pulling her left ear than placing her hand on Bre’s heart and resting her forehead on Bre. “ you’re doing great Bre come back to the now and show us the way”. Bre started to wiggle her toes, her fingers, took deep breaths and then snapped her eyes open. She blinked a few times slowly letting her eyes change back to her honey brown eyes with a few specs of something shinning in her eye that I couldn’t quite get from behind my mother. Mom quickly stood yanking off a matching bracelet and tossing it to me with the same strange crystal on it as her necklace. “ it’s a beacon that will call out to her bringing her back. She’s not just getting glimpses of the future anymore, she will become a full blown charm of paths” mom whispered. “ what the he** are you talking about mom a charm of what?” This is crazy, Bre isn’t some charm I mean she’s a doll…. A crazy warrior kinky s*x crazed weirdo doll but not some charm. Charms are possessions that the higher ups like to keep close and use as they please and Bre’s not a sit pretty girl mom must have been hit pretty hard last night this is nuts! “ Listen to me, y’all have pushed yourselves with the missions to have that year break and we’ve allowed it and helped you because we knew we could only hide everything for so long. We knew time was running out and we had to get you two away for the transitions.” GG will explain some to you two today but I’m sorry most of it you’ll find out as you go.” As mom stood Bre up and started cleaning her off ushering us into my bedroom. “ you two must go now, I don’t know how strong of a beacon that put out of anything but you have to get to GG and get out of here while I come up with a story.” I’m grabbing my shoes and hopping on one foot as I see my mom wrap her necklace around her wrist and start thrashing her outfit pinching her cheeks and pulling her hair every single way but down. “ go now, your father has charmed blood but never became a beacon they know this… but sometimes a little star creeps out in special times, go now.” “ the absolute h*ll mom gag!!!” As I run with Bre linking my arms with hers as she stayed silent. “ Your plane takes off in a few hours!” My mom yells while laughing as we take off to Great Grandma Jo’s.

We walked in silence to the car climbing in and putting on our seatbelts. “ I’m good” is all Bre says as she looks out the window and we pull away from our houses. The rest of the drive is done in silence and we made it to Jo’s in record time. As I walk into the house the smell of potions and metal instantly hits my nose as well as something I can’t quite put my finger on. “Girls” Great Grandma Jo whispers as she pulls us in for a hug patting our backs in soothing circles. My mom must have called her and told her what happened which is good means the slayer council didn’t show up when we left. Jo smiles leading us into a small room off to the side of her kitchen where all sorts of swords, daggers and gadgets that I couldn’t even begin to know what they could be are thrown all over the counters. “ Bre I know how you just love your swords so I made a nice little addition to your collection.” She says as she hands Bre and myself what looks to be matching cute belts. She clicks a small button on the side and the belt snaps together glowing a blue light and switches into a gorgeous sword making Bre light up for the first time since her shower incident. She hands me the same type of belt and winks and know Bre is back in full circle as we can’t hide our sh*t eaten grins plastered on our faces. “ my darling Missy I’ve made an addition for your crazy earrings you always wear and if you’d place them in I’ll show you how to switch them into your famous daggers you love.” She smiles at me as I was bouncing in my toes. I did as she directed and placed the earrings in and placed my thumb on one side and my finger straight through one earring and with a twist of my wrist I had a dagger that seemed to appear like a snap of my finger. I lunged hugging Great grandma Jo showing her my thanks. She went over a nice collection of new toys with earrings, brackets, lipstick, necklaces, and even boots she has made for us that turn in to everything our little hearts desire. I looked over at Bre and we both just fist bumped and threw our hands back in the air yelling “ YES” in our excitement. Grabbing the case of goodies and handing them to us Jo spoke up “ these will get you buy until you’re in Vegas and your packages arrive of all the things I couldn’t disguise for you to pass security for your plane ride, now both my girls come here and hand me your wrists”. Without any hesitation we both walked forward handing our wrists over when she grabbed them and started chanting something in a language I couldn’t even begin to comprehend. My wrist begins to hurt and I notice a blue light flowing from Great Grandma Jo to my wrist and her eyes are completely red, I glance at Bre to see her head thrown back and she seems to be glowing in ecstasy. Kink much Bre dang. All of a sudden I have the need to scream as fire seems to be spreading up my arm then a blue light wraps around us doing a beautiful dance with white and then it just disappears like nothing even happened. Jo drops our arms and I glance at Bre who now looks just as confused as me. “ Remember only Slay if you must girls this is your year. A lot of things will be coming your way and Missy you already saw Bre’s powers coming in but they won’t be the only powers discovered this year I believe. I can’t explain much but I want you two to hear my words and take this into consideration. Nothing is as it seems and nobody is who they are, you will never be able to forget the slayer memories for your memories have already been altered. Nobody can ever take what is yours from you and I just made sure of that while welcoming the change the new the beacon the love of all hearts of darkness. No questions no times just be ready.” Then poof no more Great Grandma Jo…. “ What the actual h*ll you old bat don’t run from me get back down here and explain yourself!” Bre screamed at the top of her lungs but for some reason all I felt was excitement and peace. The alarm went off on Bre’s phone as she mumbled every single bad thing she’s ever dreamed of doing to someone under her breath and I could hear Jo giggle in the distance. “ Time to go Bre” I smiled at my best friend and walked to the door as she just shook her head and followed me away. “ This isn’t over!” Bre yelled to the empty house as she shut the door and we heard it instantly lock them the entire house put out a blue dust and then lit up like the sun and turned into a giant mansion of sorts instead of a little old cottage we grew up playing in. I could see a curtain move on one of the top floors and glanced up to see an even older Jo smile back at me and wink. All I could was shake my head and walk to the car with our new toys and Bre as she continued to mumble all the things she wanted to do.

We made it through all the hoops and whistles of being in the airport and was finally entering the plane. I put my bag above me in the compartment and took my seat as Bre sat down smiling and handed me an airpod so we could listen to the same music as our plane took off. We didn’t mind flying but taking off always made me sick and well we just couldn’t stand to not know what song the other was listening to while they danced in their seats beside us so we just naturally always made adjustments to such. “ I know you hate the takeoff as much as me so I made us a playlist for distraction” Bre wiggled her eyebrows at me. “ I like the way you think, wake me when we land”. I mumbled as I placed it in my ear and curled my body into my seat. Sleep never came which was strange for me. I constantly had that feeling again and I couldn’t place it. I wasn’t scared, I wasn’t in danger so what was it? Was I just excited? And what the heck is that smell I can’t even place what it is I just know it’s good. “Bre” I said tapping her leg to get her attention. “ what is it” she mumbled never removing her eye mask. “ I can’t place it but I feel weird, I feel like somethings getting ready to happen but it’s not bad and I have no clue if it’s good. Do you have a weird feeling? And do you smell whatever in the heck is so good on this plane? Is it good am I hungry? What’s happening?” Bre finally removed her eye mask and looked at me like I was a baby dragon with two heads, enticingly interesting but insane. “ What the heck are you talking about all I smell is the baby three rows back who apparently needs to be changed, and no I don’t have some sort of feeling of a school girl get it together!” I say in silence until it hit me again,”Bre I’m serious sweep the plane.” Bre mumbled how I was an i***t bimbo who needed sleep or to get laid as she put away her pillow, eye mask and blanket from her little nap she had planned and got out of her seat. As I waited for Bre to come back I kept going over all the times in the past 24hours I’ve had this feeling. Could it just be that I’m excited to get away or excited to get my hands on a few rogues that will hopefully give me a workout. What in the world is going on with me? “ Nothing is giving me any kind of bad vibes girl and I walked everywhere allowed.” Bre said as she sat down. I just sat in silence while Bre stared at me waiting for my next command. I never used it and never had to but I had a higher rank and an undeniable pull that I could lead any slayer witching a 30 mile radius. “ Bre it’s not life or death, it’s not some crazy life changing bad guy ready to take us out it’s a feeling a light that I can almost see and can definitely feel. It’s like I can feel the ground from here in the sky and I want to hunt down whatever that is that smells so good and rub it all over my body and lick it until it disappears.” Bre definitely looked at me like I was crazy. “ Did you put on your scent blocker this morning?” She asked. “ yeah” I bellowed. “Good” is all she said until silence seemed like death I felt like I was going crazy and I felt pressure behind my eyes. “ Missy I don’t exactly know what you’re saying but I have a feeling that I might know what it is so when I tell you to take our shot to disappear and be nothing do it don’t ask me and when I tell you to erase our scent blocker do it as well”. I just nodded my head obviously she knew something I didn’t and she had a grin on her face like a mad woman so I knew it couldn’t be bad. Okay scratch that it could be bad and she could be excited for a fight but she would’ve already made a move to have a weapon close. I kept bouncing my leg up and down and counting back from 100 when that freaking smell hit me again and now combined with the feeling of whatever in the heck this was I could t help it I jumped to my feet just as quickly as the flight attendant turned on the fasten your seatbelts and begin her rant of how we were going to land. Bre grabbed my hand placing me back in my seat and just smiled like I was missing the gran reveal of a new kind or something. Shaking my head I went back to bouncing my foot up and down when all of a sudden I could feel myself become hot from the inside out starting at my core and my word am I horny? Why am I horny all of a sudden I haven’t even seen anyone walk by besides an old lady and the flight attendant and well she was just a regular looking person to me nothing stood out. I bit my lip holding back a moan for the heavens only know why I had the sudden urge to rub my legs together trying to get friction and get some sort of relief when I heard a gurgle sound like someone far ways had swallowed water wrong and it was coming back up and out… then the most inhuman growl I’ve ever heard shaking the plain almost sounding like thunder and the regular old humans probably thought it was. “ Dang you haven’t even unblocked yourself, this is going to be good and hot.” Bre said smiling to herself as the plane landed and everyone begin following the rules and exiting the plane in a single line. Bre handed me our cocktail in a small pill form that almost looked like a gummie. “ where and when did you guys do this” I whisper yelled when she threw mine in my mouth and smiled. We were next to exit so we were getting ready to start walking down the tunnel when Bre grabbed my arm and said “ cat and mouse lets play are you ready?” I just looked at Bre because I had not one clue what she was talking about now when Bre’s eyes lit up like a scary movie had just played and the bimbo she had been yelling at all night finally died a gruesome death. “ sh*t I feel it too and is that” she sniffed the air “ is that good what is that?” Oh now you get it and we’re basically invisible what is going on Bre?” We finally could see the end of the tunnel when Bre yelled “ screw it we’ll find them again in mask your scent and run as fast as you can.” Me being the i***t always looking for a good time took Bre’s outstretched hand smiling from ear to ear still without a clue what was happening. “ fu*k it” I said and took off hand in hand in the sprint for our lives releasing my scent and letting Vegas know the Slayer sisters were in town when I heard it. I heard the planes windows explode and the metal splashing with the airport as the plane slammed into the airport with the ground shaking roar of none other than a Lycan a very very strong Lycan and then the tunnel rattled and I couldn’t tell if it was in front of me or behind me at that point once I heard another roar come from in front of me making Bre giggle as we made it out of the tunnel jerking our bodies up and over a counter and down another hall crashing through a window and landing on the ground floor in a parking lot two rows over from the car with our names on it. Giggling like school girls. But why did I not smell a Lycan and why didn’t Bre?
