Black Rose Revenge

Chapter 14

Xavier POV

I was trying to rest before I tracked down Vince Karadeen. I had only been resting a couple of hours when visions of both his daughter and Sierra flooded throughout his mind. Chancey was growing wings and Sierra was doubled over in pain. I awoke with a start, covered in sweat! I had to find out if they were both okay. He was reaching for his phone, located on the nightstand, when it started to ring. Who the hell could that be? “Hello?”

“Mr. Conway I presume?”

I bolted upright. “Well, Mr. Karadeen, what can I do for you?” I needed to keep my emotions in check so that I can see this man face to face.

“What makes you think that I want anything from you?” Came an angry voice.

“So, you’re just calling me to say hi? Since I don’t know you and my phone number in unlisted I can only come to one conclusion, you want something from me.” I said as I was beginning to lose my patience with douche.

“You are right, I do want something from you, but I wont tell you at this moment in time. Just know that I will be around every corner that you turn!”

Just what I needed, yay me! This guy needs to be removed permanently, and very soon, so I did just that. First things first; I needed to get my s**t together and focus. I was worried about my wife and daughter but for the life of me can’t figure out the visions that I have been bombarded with. I stood and walked to the window, I didn’t like being away from them this long especially with this new threat hanging over my head. I knew that Sierra would protect our daughter with her life and she is a detective with the Kalamath police department but as a father and husband I am supposed to be the protector of the home and I feel like I’m failing. I had let my guard down and because of that my child was traumatized. I vowed right then that I would spend the rest of my life making it up to Chancey. Thinking this brought me to the fact that I have noticed Sierra’s hybrid part getting stronger and I am pretty sure that Sierra doesn’t even realize it herself. We both don’t know what to expect but I do know that since having Chancey, her powers were magnifying in a super short amount of time.

She is aware of her telepathy and she often doesn’t use it because at times she can’t control it and she is afraid of hurting anyone she cares about. We still need to work on her control but we need to find a place that she can use it without worry about hurting anyone. Her nightmares are another story all together. Whenever she has a nightmare the bed shakes and the walls look as though they were about to explode with the pressure building in the room! I often find it hard to breath, to get her to calm down I have to enter her mind and forcibly restrain the hybrid power before it did real damage that Sierra would never be able to forgive herself for. Every time she lost control she would black out, which made it even more dangerous. I have had so many discussions with Sierra about Chancey. None of us know what type of hybrid she will be but if I had to go based on my visions she would be a very rare and powerful hybrid, even more powerful than Sierra and I put together. Chancey was already demonstrating that she is a powerful telepath and the fact that it has appeared this early in her life was surprising and alarming.

I walked back to the bed and sat down, I will need to talk to Mack and try to find out who this new ‘friend’ was. Something felt off about this whole situation, I mean first I’m kidnapped then all of a sudden there is a person of authority that is suddenly buy her side to “help”? I don’t buy it. With the unease growing I quickly showered and was on my way back home. I just could not shake this feeling that something very bad was going to happen!
